The clear female voice was like falling rocks from a mountain stream, shattering the faces of the masters and servants of the Lu family, and tearing away Lu Zhinian's past elegant and gentlemanly virtues.
"You, the Lu family, are worthy of being the head of the aristocratic family. You have stood tall in the capital for many years, but you may not have the same skills as others. The husband you trained is very easy to sell and tell lies, and the servants are even more cunning and ghost-like. In the past, you were singing and singing along with others. Use this method to fool me."
"Lu Zhinian, don't you feel guilty?"
When Song Tangning mocked the disgusting person in front of him, he felt even more stupid that he had been deceived by Lu Zhinian's noble appearance.
No matter what he said, she thought it was the truth. As long as he was happy, she would be obedient.
In order not to cause trouble to him, she did not dare to act recklessly and learned to be gentle and well-behaved. In order to prevent him from being embarrassed outside, she suppressed her nature and followed the rules of the Lu family's wife.
Just to marry into the Lu family, she endured the ridicule and ridicule from outside and reduced herself to dust.
As a result, I endured it so hard that I lost my life.
Lu Zhinian's anger froze when he met Song Tangning's mocking eyes, and the hand holding his shirt froze: "Tangning, listen to me..."
"What did you say? Tell me how you lied to me, how you didn't take me to your heart?"
"You think that as long as you show your kindness a little bit, I should forget about the past and come back to you. You think that no matter how wronged I am, as long as I can marry into the Lu family, it will be a great honor for me, and it will be worth all the hardships."
"Lu Zhinian, why do you do that?"
Song Tangning's eyes were calm, like a bottomless well. He looked at the person opposite him darkly, filled with panic-inducing indifference.
"You think I should endure your indifference and hope that you will pay attention occasionally. You are just relying on me to like you, but why do you think I must be you?"
"Tang Ning..."
Lu Zhinian felt inexplicably flustered after hearing her words, as if he knew what heartless words she would say next. He quickly stepped forward, took her hand and said urgently:
"Don't be like this. I know it was my fault and I shouldn't lie to you, but I'm just afraid that you will be as alienated and cold as you were in the City Prince's Mansion. I just don't want you to be alienated from me."
"You and I have been childhood sweethearts and have been engaged for many years. I have always known that you were going to marry me, and I have long been accustomed to having you around. The future wife of the Lu family will only be you."
"Tang Ning, believe me, I never have other thoughts, I..."
Snapped--
Song Tangning suddenly raised her hand and slapped Lu Zhinian. Lu Zhinian was a head taller than her, and the slap only hit his jaw, but the clear and crisp sound still interrupted his judgment and made him full of confusion. Ran was stunned on the spot.
she……
Actually hit him?
"Your scratching hurts me." Song Tangning said coldly.
Lu Zhinian lowered his head suddenly, and saw that Song Tangning's fingertips, which were not yet healed, were bleeding from his pinching. His expression changed instantly, and he let go in panic: "I didn't mean to..."
"You are just too careless, so you never care whether I am good or not."
Song Tangning's crow-feather eyelashes raised lightly: "Lu Zhinian, you said we were childhood sweethearts and we have been engaged for many years. I know all your preferences and habits, but do you know what I like?"
"Do you know what I like to eat, what I like to drink, what colors I like, and what kind of clothes I like to wear?"
"Do you remember what I did for your birthday last year, what gifts I gave you, and what wishes I made at Lingyun Temple?"
Lu Zhinian turned pale when she asked him, and his eyes wavered with hesitation and guilt.
What she likes...
A lot of things suddenly appeared in his mind, and when he wanted to open his mouth to speak, he found that there was nothing he didn't like.
Something to eat, something to drink, something to use.
She always did everything with his preferences in mind, and those preferences were catered to him. He never wronged himself when they were together, and it was natural that this should be the case.
But now that he met her eyes, he suddenly realized that he had no idea what else she liked besides those.
Song Tangning saw this and laughed sarcastically: "This is what you call your childhood sweetheart. It has to be me?"
"Lu Zhinian, let's break off the engagement."
She glanced at Hua Wu beside her, and Hua Wu stepped forward and handed her two rolls of orders.
Tang Ning took it and handed it to Lu Zhinian: "You have disliked me all these years and have always regarded me as a burden. You have never wanted to get close to me in front of others. Since I can't catch Lu Langjun's eyes, let's stop this marriage. "
"I have never used any of the things you and the Lu family have given me over the years. I asked Hua Wu to pack them in boxes and return them all to Lu Langjun today. Please also ask Lu Langjun to give me the things I gave to you and the Lu family. Return those to me, and we will make things clear to each other."
Her dark eyes were like snow in a mountain stream, revealing a temperatureless coldness. The disgust and alienation in them made Lu Zhinian shiver all over.
Lu Zhinian never thought that in his lifetime, he would hear Tang Ning say such indifferent words. The little girl who once pestered him and called him "Brother Lu" now said that they were in the clear.
Lu Zhinian's lips trembled slightly as he wanted to say something, but Song Tangning directly stuffed the two rolls into his hands. Before he could hold it firmly, the two rolls of orders rolled to the ground.
Two rolls, one thick and one thin, rolled forward at the same time and spread out on the ground.
A piece of paper only three or four feet long came to an end in a blink of an eye, and the few handwriting on it fell empty on the paper, which could be seen clearly at a glance.
When the other roll was rolled down, it was exposed all the way forward for more than ten feet. It was densely written with writing, and the end of the writing hit the table leg, and more than half of it was not spread out.
"Lu Langjun, do you need me to tell you which one is yours?" Tang Ning looked at him.
Lu Zhinian's face turned pale, and he looked at the two pieces of paper with both shock and embarrassment.
At that time, Taifu Rong was of excellent background and had assisted three generations of emperors. He only had two daughters. When they got married, he almost split the Rong family into two and brought each of them to her husband's family.
Song Tangning was Mrs. Rong's only daughter, and she also owned all the property of the second house of the Duke of Song Dynasty. In addition, Princess Cheng, the aunt, was afraid that she would be wronged because she lost her father when she was young. She never forgot her share of the money and treasures. Song Tangning's wealth and generosity All the girls in the capital, not even Lu Zhinian, who was born into a noble family, could not compare.
Lu Zhinian only knew that Song Tangning had given him a lot of things over the years, and he would bring gifts to the people in the house every time he passed by.
From the large porcelain, famous paintings and antiques, to the small jade cups and clothes, most of the items in his study were bought for him by Song Tangning. Even the study rooms of his father and grandfather had many things that Tangning had given him. of.
In addition, both the elders and juniors in the mansion, as well as the women and men, also received countless things from Song Tangning. When they were accumulated, large and small, and written densely on paper, they turned out to be such an astonishing long volume.
