Song Tangning was stunned for a moment when she heard that Lu Zhi was old, but she suddenly remembered that today King Cheng was banned by Emperor An, and the entire Song family was imprisoned. Her elder brother had mentioned to her before that the case of the Song family would be traced to the ruthless prince, and the Lu family might be implicated. , she understood again why Lu Zhinian came to her.
Hua Wu said: "Supervisor Xiao said that the slave should come and ask the girl if she wants to meet Lu Langjun."
"See you there!"
Princess Cheng raised her eyebrows at the side and said: "Tang Ning has been injured for so long, and the man named Lu has not even looked at him. Now that something happened to the Song family and the Lu family was involved, he ran diligently and was so cold and cold. People are not afraid to get dirty when they see him, so they go ask people to chase him away..."
Before she finished speaking, Tang Ning suddenly reached out and pulled Princess Cheng, turned to Hua Wu and said, "Take her to the front hall."
"Tang Ning!" Princess Cheng was puzzled.
Song Tangning said softly: "Aunt, sooner or later I have to make it clear about my marriage with the Lu family. I can't always avoid Lu Zhinian when he comes to visit me. If the engagement is not terminated and the Lu family can't get rid of it, sooner or later they will still Take advantage of me."
"I avoided the Lu family before because I was worried that Song Hong and the others would get in the way. Now we have broken up with the Song family. Without the Song family's troubles, my marriage with the Lu family should be settled."
Upon hearing this, Princess Cheng frowned and stood up: "Then I'll go with you..."
"Need not."
Song Tangning stretched out her hand to push her back onto the couch, and helped Princess Cheng sit down before continuing: "Auntie, if you don't feel well, just stay here and have a good rest. I'll go see Lu Zhinian myself."
"But…"
"It's okay." Tang Ning comforted Princess Cheng's worries: "I used to like Lu Zhinian, so the Lu family could control me. I don't like him anymore. The Lu family is nothing in my eyes. Aunt, I always have to do something by myself. We can’t rely on you for everything.”
Princess Cheng wanted to say something else, but when she met Song Tangning's cold and firm gaze, she pursed her lips and took her hand and said, "Then be careful. If that person named Lu gets into trouble with you, you will have someone kill him." He blasted it out."
Tang Ning smiled when he heard this: "I know."
This is her Tang Mansion, and she doesn't need to rely on anyone.
…
When Lu Zhinian was invited into Tang Mansion, his nervousness relaxed a little.
Song Mo followed and looked at the person leading the way, lowering his voice: "Lang Jun, I heard that people from the Song family came to Jiuyun Lane last night, but they were arrested without even entering. People are blocking the outside, Miss Song is willing to see you today, I think those words she said before were just angry words."
He glanced at Lu Zhinian's face and his voice became softer.
"I know that Mr. Lang is not happy, but Miss Song is a woman after all. She treated you so affectionately before, but this time she was so hurt that she left you cold. When you see Miss Song later, make peace with her. Some, if you try to persuade her to calm down, everything will be fine..."
Lu Zhinian held the brocade earrings hanging under the jade pendant around his waist in his hands, his face as dark as water.
Tang Mansion is astonishingly large, with carved railings and painted buildings, pavilions and water pavilions, green floating gardens, and verandas that seem to have no end in sight.
Unlike the rumors that Xiao Yan just took Song Tangning in at will and used her to deal with the Duke of Song's mansion and the aristocratic family, he seemed to really hold her up as the apple of his eye. This house was almost as good as the Lu family's house, and there were all strong people in front of the door. Man, the guards all walked steadily along the way.
Lu Zhinian became more and more frightened as he walked closer. As he tightened his grip on the brocade ear, he heard Song Mo talking next to him, and his brows furrowed with a cold expression.
"When will you teach me about my affairs?"
Song Mo's scalp tightened and he held his breath for a moment without daring to say anything.
After Lu Zhinian glanced at him coldly, he remembered what his grandfather had said to him when he saw him before. He tightened his mouth and grabbed the things in his hands. When he was led to the hall, he saw Song Tangning who was already waiting there. He subconsciously wanted to keep a straight face as before, but when he met her equally cold eyes.
His eyes paused, and the corner of his mouth showed tenderness: "Tang Ning."
The little girl who always ran over to him with surprise in her eyes did not move at all. She only raised her eyes and looked at him coldly: "Lu Langjun."
The smile on Lu Zhinian's lips froze.
He was a little angry, feeling that the little girl in front of him was making too much noise. He had obviously come to her on his own initiative, and everyone could see that he wanted to lower his profile to coax her. He indulged her little temper, but She actually wanted to make trouble with him.
Lu Zhinian endured it again and again, and then lowered his voice as gently as possible: "Tang Ning, are you still angry with Brother Lu?"
"I knew I shouldn't have gotten angry with you and left you in Qishan Mountain that day. Later, I was distracted by things in Beijing and didn't go looking for you. My grandmother punished me by kneeling for a long time, and my grandfather also taught me many times. Yesterday in the city When I saw you in the palace, you didn't even want to say a word to me, and you said such hurtful words, you didn't know that I didn't sleep all night."
"I know you're angry with me, but I really didn't mean to hurt you. Let's talk carefully. Brother Lu can explain to you, okay..."
As he spoke, he wanted to step forward and hold Song Tangning's hand, but he didn't want the person opposite to take a half step back.
"Tang Ning?" Lu Zhinian's face stiffened slightly.
Song Tangjing looked at the people in front of her quietly. She had never seen Lu Zhinian being so groveling, but she only found it a bit ridiculous.
So it's not that this man doesn't know how to talk to her, or how to get along with her. He also knows how to make her happy, but he never bothers to do it.
His current patience to please did not make people feel soft-hearted at all. Instead, it made him even more indifferent in the past, making Tang Ning feel a sense of disgust in his heart.
Perhaps because the coldness on her face was too obvious, Lu Zhinian frowned slightly, and his last voice was tinged with dissatisfaction: "Are you really going to be so alienated from Brother Lu?"
Song Tangning was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly remembered what Xiao Yan had said when she was fighting against King Cheng. The situation that day was the same as today. She tilted her head and said, "Lu Langjun, my brother is currently in the Criminal Division. Are you so eager to replace him because you want to reunite with him in prison?"
Standing behind the partition screen, Gu Helian's mouth twitched.
Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were filled with laughter.
Lu Zhinian didn't react at first, but after he understood that Tang Ning was mocking him by saying "brother Lu", the smile on his face couldn't be kept at all.
He has never had much patience with Song Tangning. In the past, the girl in front of him would coax him, but now he still gets no response when he lowers his posture, and the warmth on his face has completely disappeared.
"Do you really want to talk to me like this?" Lu Zhinian said coldly, "Song Tangning, you should stop."
"Mr. Lang!"
Song Mo watched from the side and was shocked when Lu Zhinian got angry. He quickly stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Ms. Song, what happened in Qishan earlier was the villain's fault and had nothing to do with Lang Jun."
"On that day, Mr. Lang asked me to stay in Qishan to take you back to Lingyun Temple. But I was anxious for a moment, and I thought that Song Langjun and Prince Xie were both your brothers, and they would definitely leave someone to protect you. , then something went wrong, but Lang Jun really didn’t know anything about it, he always thought there was someone staying in the mountain, and he also thought you had returned to the temple safely."
Song Mo looked anxious, as if he was afraid that Song Tangning would misunderstand his master, so he hurriedly explained.
"After what happened to you, Lang Jun has been regretting and blaming himself. The old lady in the mansion and the others also punished him for this. The knees that Lang Jun knelt on are still swollen. Yesterday, because of the matter between the City Prince's Palace and the Song family, he was You spoke in front of the master and the old lady, and you were whipped at night."
"Yesterday you said in front of so many people that you wanted to break off the engagement, which made the old lady furious. Lang Jun finally persuaded the old lady to come to see you. Please don't get angry with Lang Jun. He is currently wearing a Still injured."
Song Tangning frowned when he heard this: "Are you injured?"
Seeing that she took the initiative to inquire, Lu Zhinian calmed down and said coldly, "It's a small injury."
"What a minor injury, why should Mr. Lang show off to Mrs. Song?"
Song Mo said with red eyes: "Mrs. Song, you don't know that the old lady and the others were very angry because of yesterday's incident. Especially when Master Lang knew that you had talked about withdrawing from the engagement, he was so angry that Master Lang was very angry in order to speak for you. After being hit with a few sticks, his back was bloody."
"Mrs. Song, although your husband is at fault for what happened in Qishan, he really cares about you. In order to avoid worrying you, he specifically told me not to talk to you about the affairs of the house, let alone mention them. He’s only half injured.”
Song Tangning was silent for a moment after hearing this, then looked up at Lu Zhinian who had not uttered a word to refute, slightly frowning and asked: "Brother Lu is really hurt?"
"Don't listen to Song Mo's nonsense."
"Then is what he said true?"
Young Lu Zhi pursed his lips but did not answer. He only said, "The Lu family's family laws are strict, and my grandparents also have to worry about the family's reputation. But you are my fiancée, and I will protect you no matter what."
"Brother Lu..."
Song Tangning seemed to be moved by the words in his mouth, and her eyes softened.
Seeing this, Lu Zhinian felt at ease, so he asked, how could Song Tangning not care about him, and how could he be willing to let go of so many years of habit and dependence.
No matter how cold and callous she pretended to be, she was just trying to vent her anger with him, but she still cared about him in her heart, otherwise why would she be a little unsteady when she heard that he was injured.
Lu Zhinian's complacency had just begun to rise in his heart, and when he was about to take the opportunity to show weakness and manipulate her, he heard the little girl in front of him who had a gentle look on his face just now say something shocking.
"I never realized that Brother Lu actually cares about me so much. Since Brother Lu was hurt for me, I naturally can't just sit idly by and ignore him."
When Lu Zhinian heard this, he was just about to pretend to be gentle so that she wouldn't mind, when he saw Song Tangning suddenly step forward and reach out towards his clothes.
He stepped back with a look of astonishment on his face and said in a voiceless voice: "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm applying medicine for Brother Lu."
Song Tangning's eyes were full of tenderness, as if she was speaking of love, but what she said shocked Lu Zhinian.
"You would rather suffer such a serious injury from the family law for me. Naturally, I feel sorry for Brother Lu. You and I are an unmarried couple, and there are no outsiders here. Hua Wu, go get the medicine for the injury..."
She made a show of wanting to step forward and undress Lu Zhinian, but Lu Zhinian was so shocked that he backed away.
In the past, even if Song Tangning acted coquettishly with him and was obsessed with him, the most she could do was tug on his sleeve, and her face would turn red with embarrassment every time she took his hand back. He never expected that he would be so "Menglang".
Lu Zhinian was shocked and angry: "What are you talking about in the clear day? There are servants here. Besides, you and I are not married yet. Even unmarried couples have to guard their gender."
He seemed to be shocked by Song Tangning's boldness, and shouted angrily:
"Tang Ning, you are going to be the wife of the Lu family in the future. You must remember that a woman is docile and careful in her words and deeds. If people see you acting like this, what will others say about you and what will they say about Lu? Home? Where have all the rules you learned over the years gone?!"
Song Tangning looked at the way Lu Zhinian lectured her with such righteous words, as if he had gone back to the past, when he always criticized her like this with the rules and the dignity that a wife of the Lu family should have.
Every time, she would carefully admit her mistakes. Even if it was clearly not her who was in the wrong, even if she knew it was them making a fuss, she would try her best to become what they said the wife of the Lu family should be, and transform herself step by step. It will never be the same again.
Song Tangning laughed sarcastically: "Lu Zhinian, are you afraid that my messing around will ruin the reputation of the Lu family, or are you afraid that you, the third son of the Lu family, will show weakness and be exposed?"
Lu Zhinian's heart skipped a beat: "Tang Ning, what did you say?"
Song Mo's face also changed: "Mrs. Song, how could you misunderstand Mr. Lang so much? It's true that Mr. Lang is injured. You don't know the family rules in the house. He should have stayed in the house to recuperate, but... Because I was worried about you, I forced myself to come over to see you..."
"Yeah?"
Song Tangning sneered and did not argue with the master and servant. He just called out: "Hang Guards."
"Girl."
Hang Li, who was standing in front of the door, came in.
"Tear off Lu Langjun's clothes and take a closer look at how seriously injured he is!"
"Song Tangning, you are crazy!"
Lu Zhinian's face turned pale with shock, and he could no longer maintain his previous appearance. Song Mo also looked at Song Tangning with a shocked face, but Song Tangning didn't care at all about his anger and said in a cold voice:
"Snatch him!"
Hang Li stepped forward and reached out to grab Lu Zhinian.
Lu Zhinian was suddenly shocked and angry: "What are you doing? Let me go..."
"Song Tangning, are you crazy? Do you know what you are doing...you...ah!"
Before Lu Zhinian could finish shouting, his arm was suddenly grabbed and twisted backwards, causing him to cry out in pain.
Song Mo next to him was shocked, shouting "Lang Jun" in horror, and rushed forward to rescue Lu Zhinian, but was kicked away by Hang Li before he got close.
Hang Li stretched out his hand to grab the lapel of Lu Zhinian's clothes, and regardless of his shouts and struggles, he pulled down hard. The originally gorgeous t-shirt split downwards along his shoulders, instantly revealing his white upper body.
She has a long body, her skin is as white as snow, and her back is smoother than that of a woman, without any scars on it.
Not to mention the blood stains left by domestic sticks and whip marks, there were no bruises or bruises.
Lu Zhinian had never encountered anything so outrageous, and he never thought that one day he would be stripped naked and stood there naked for others to watch.
He pulled the torn clothes to cover his upper body and wanted to curse angrily, but before he could speak, Song Tangning, who was standing not far away, tilted his head and sneered.
"It turns out that your Lu family's family law is like this. Lu Langjun's injuries are really serious."
