The Qian family's carriage left, and Song Tangning thanked the unsmiling old lady of the Fu family for sending away. After Mrs. Wenxinhou also got on the leaving carriage, she ignored the cold look on Lu Zhinian's face when his eyebrows were furrowed, and went directly to Princess Cheng. They drove away together.
When the carriage curtain was lowered, it hid Lu Zhinian's disbelieving eyes.
Outside, Lu Zhinian felt as if he had lost something important and his heart was empty.
He couldn't help but look down at his waist, where there was still hanging the sachet that Song Tangning had spent several days embroidering with her own hands. She had brought it to him like a treasure, blushing and shyly saying that it was for him. It was a gift. Knowing that she was coming today, Lu Zhinian specially wore it in a conspicuous place just to give him a surprise.
But he never expected that Song Tangning would not even glance at it from beginning to end.
It was as if he was no longer in her eyes. Apart from those few cold words, she never said a word to him. She faced him with the same indifference towards Song Jinxiu, and she actually wanted to break off the engagement with him...
How dare she be so temperamental?
Those around who had not left were secretly looking at this side. Seeing Lu Zhinian's embarrassed expression, Mrs. Lu said angrily: "Okay, what a wonderful Song Tangning, she is very good!!"
She shook her sleeves and said angrily:
"Ms. Song is a noble lady. Our Lu family cannot afford a wife like her. Sanlang, let's go!!"
Even now, Mrs. Lu still doesn't believe that Song Tangning can really let go of Lu Zhinian.
When that little girl was ignorant, she made a marriage agreement with the Lu family. She stripped her of her escape, her original publicity, and stripped her of her original life bit by bit, leaving Song Tangning with nothing but that person around her. Apart from the Song family's eldest son and Xie Shizi, Lu Zhinian was the only one.
She had engraved her love for Lu Zhinian into her bones, relying on this feeling to gain nourishment and grow up. This begonia flower has long been inseparable from the Lu family. She never believed that Song Tangning could really abandon her grandson.
Mrs. Lu only felt that it was Princess Cheng and the eunuch Xiao Yan who instigated Song Tangning and made her lose control for a moment. She firmly believed that Song Tangning could not let go of Lu Zhinian.
Only this time, she would not go to the Lu family to kowtow to apologize. She would never forgive such a rebellious woman. Even if she kowtows to beg for mercy, she will definitely punish her and let her know what the rules of respect and inferiority are! ! !
…
Xiao Yan glanced at the Lu family's ancestors and grandson who left angrily through the carriage curtain, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He loosened the curtain of the carriage with his white fingers, looked back at Song Tangning, who had been smiling ever since he got on the carriage, and asked warmly: "Do you like that girl from the Qian family very much?"
Tang Ning nodded and revealed her eyes: "That Sister Qian is so outspoken and hearty. I have met her a few times before, and I just thought she had a charming appearance and a strong temper. Now I realize that I misunderstood."
It had been many years since she had attended a gathering of girls in the capital. Ever since she got engaged to Lu Zhinian, Mrs. Lu had told her that women should be quiet, chaste and elegant, be well-behaved and sensible, and copy the Women's Guide to Filial Piety when they have nothing to do. Pay attention to your future husband's preferences and avoid attending unnecessary social gatherings to avoid being followed by people with ill intentions.
Tang Ning has always regarded Mrs. Lu's words as an imperial edict. From the time when she went out occasionally, later on, she was only thinking about how to please Lu Zhinian. She would only go to the palace to invite her to banquets once or twice a year.
Tangning met Qian Qiyue three times at palace banquets, and the Qian girl was quarreling with others on all three occasions.
The first time she slapped a girl from a fourth-rank court official's family, the second time she scolded the Lord of Feng'an County, hiding her face and crying, and another time she was wearing a gorgeous dress, with her hands folded across her chest, facing five or six people, and forcefully facing five or six people. The little girl's face turned red as she spoke, and someone from behind kicked her into Yuhu.
The youngest daughter of the Qian family became famous in one battle, but for the fact that Qian Baokun was in charge of the Queen of Household Affairs and was unwilling to offend her, and those young ladies who were noisy with Qian Qiyue were hesitant to explain why. With Qian Qiyue's boldness, He had already been punished in the palace.
Song Tangning had heard a little about this young lady Qian. In the past, she had always avoided Qian Qiyue when she saw her from a distance. It seemed that today was the first time that she and Qian Qiyue had faced each other head-on.
only……
Song Tangning was a little confused: "I always feel that this sister Qian is familiar, but I have clearly never spoken to her before."
Xiao Yan said: "Some people are born to be in love with each other, and they will fall in love with each other at first sight."
"Too."
When Tang Ning heard this, she only thought that she liked Qian Qiyue's temperament, so she felt familiar with her. After putting aside her doubts, she turned to look at Princess Cheng who was standing aside.
Princess Cheng's face was extremely pale, and there was no blood on her lips. Tang Ning said worriedly: "Aunt, you don't look good. Otherwise, let Aunt Jiang accompany you back to Jiuyun Lane to rest. I'll go to the Song family."
Princess Cheng shook her head: "I'm fine..."
"It's okay. Do you want me to find a mirror so you can see your face? It's as white as a ghost."
Gu Helian's venomous tongue was an indiscriminate attack, and he did not hold back at all towards Princess Cheng, but instead became fiercely sarcastic.
"The husband and wife turned against each other, and the two flew apart. King Cheng didn't look a little sad, but you were walking unsteadily like a ghost. What's the matter? You want to be buried for the love of your husband and wife. Do you want me to help you? Dig a grave and bury some soil?”
Princess Cheng gave him a sideways look: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."
"I'd rather be mute, so don't ask anyone to come to me."
"Gu Helian, you... vomit!"
Princess Cheng opened her mouth to scold Gu Helian, but as soon as she said something, her stomach suddenly became sour, she covered her mouth and vomited into his arms.
Gu Helian's stern face fell apart in an instant, and she jumped up angrily and cursed: "Rong Yue, do you think I'm disgusting, or are you deliberately disgusting me? I came all the way to Beijing to do things for you, and several horses were killed. Is this how you repay me? Do you know how much money I can get for these clothes? I have worked so hard to find this material. You..."
He pushed Princess Cheng and tried to get up, but accidentally touched the skin on her face.
The scorching temperature caused his words to be cut off in an instant, and his hand that was originally pushing stopped and directly touched her forehead.
"Gu Helian." Princess Cheng wanted to push him: "Don't touch me..."
"Do you think I am willing to touch you?!" Gu Helian suddenly turned ugly: "You have a fever, don't you know?"
Princess Cheng felt a little uncomfortable in her throat. Her stomach was obviously churning, but she couldn't vomit anything out. Only acidic water was left in her mouth.
Her eyes were filled with mist, and after the breath she had been holding on for so long disappeared, she felt a little dizzy. She reached out and slapped the hand off her forehead, frowned and said hoarsely: "I'm fine, just let go." .”
"It's okay!"
Gu Helian ignored Princess Cheng's words at all, opened the curtain and said: "Stop the car!"
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Gu Helian said directly: "Master Xiao, you take Xiao Haitang to the Song family first, and I will take Rong Yue back to Jiuyun Lane."
"I dont go……"
"It's not up to you. If you die, I can't explain it to my sister."
Gu Helian forcibly clamped Princess Cheng's shoulders and pressed her beside her. She raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yan and the two who were motionless: "Why don't you get down?"
Xiao Yan: "..."
He looked unkind, and when his fingers slightly curled, his sword eyes were condensed.
Song Tangning only felt that Gu Helian was jumping on the tip of the knife. She quickly pulled Xiao Yan's sleeve and whispered: "There is a carriage behind. Brother, let's change to another one and let my aunt go back first."
Xiao Yan's eyebrows were filled with a cold expression: "Master Gu, cherish your life."
The cuffs of his sleeves were gently pulled, and Xiao Yan's eyes brightened slightly when he saw Tang Ning looking at him.
"Canglang, send Princess Cheng back to Jiuyun Lane."
"Tang Mansion is small, so there is no need to put insignificant people in it."
Gu Helian: "..."
Damn, I was careless.
