Lu Zhinian stared at everything in the courtyard, his face paler than the moonlight.
This is a place he has never been to, and no one in the Song family has ever mentioned to him that there is such an abandoned courtyard here. He has never been here, but he has seen things he has never seen before.
If what he saw in his dream were all fake and came from his imagination, what was this yard?
But if it's true...
Lu Zhinian pinched himself tightly, shaking and unsteady.
Song Mo quickly stepped forward to help him: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun, what's wrong with you...don't scare me..."
"It turns out this is true..."
"It turns out that I betrayed her..."
Lu Zhinian seemed to be unable to hear the outside world, and could only look at the half of dead wood with a sad expression, the pain in his mind getting worse.
He suddenly seemed to understand why Song Tangning seemed to have changed overnight. She was no longer as gentle and soft as before, no longer obsessed with love, and there was no longer any love for him in her eyes. camaraderie.
She was cruel to the Song family, unfeeling to him, and even sent the Song family to jail to break up with him and the Lu family. She never vented her anger, nor did she retaliate for every penny. It was them who had wronged her.
The days of lingering like a scabrous insect, the pain of being covered in abscesses but not being loved by the one you love, the piercing cries, the eyes that were dark and dull, all were given by them.
It was they who harmed her, made her lose all hope, lost her future, and made her no longer have any hope. It turned out that what she said had always been true.
She really died once...
Lu Zhinian's pale face suddenly burst into tears, and his throat was full of shrill laughter. He was so frightened that he was crying and laughing with tears streaming down his face.
"Mr. Lang..."
Song Mo was about to step forward and was about to say something when a bright light suddenly appeared in the originally dark distance. When the swaying lantern approached, someone shouted loudly.
"Who dares to trespass into the sealed land?!"
"Mr. Lang, leave quickly!!"
Song Mo never expected that there would be anyone in the Song family. Hearing the sound of scabbard footsteps approaching, he was so frightened that he pulled Lu Zhinian around and wanted to run away.
However, he only took a few steps before a lantern was thrown and hit his leg and wrist with a bang. Song Mo stumbled and fell to the ground, and Lu Zhinian beside him was also pulled down.
Before the master and servant could get up, they were pushed to the ground and wrung their hands by the people surrounding them.
"How brave you are, how dare you run!"
The man from the Black Armor Guard spat and stepped on Lu Zhinian's leg. He picked up the lantern and cursed: "Let me see which brat dared to break into the land blocked by the Black Armor Guard... …”
The candlelight flickered on Lu Zhinian's face, highlighting his pale face.
The man was stunned and suddenly asked: "Isn't this Lu Jiasanlang?"
Others were surprised when they heard this. After they came over to take a closer look at the people on the ground, someone immediately laughed out loud: "Hey, Lu Sanlang is up so late at night, where are you admiring the moon?"
Lu Zhinian felt cold all over: It's over.
Song Mo said anxiously: "My husband fell ill at night and had a high fever. He was a little confused. He thought Miss Song was still in the Song family. We came to see Miss Song..."
boom!
"Shit!"
The man hit Song Mo in the mouth with the scabbard of his sword.
This guy surnamed Lu is not a good person, he actually dares to talk about the girl from their governor's family.
The man who was smiling before suddenly turned cold and kicked Song Mo, whose mouth was full of blood, and said, "You are talking nonsense. I don't care if you are confused or not. If you trespass into the forbidden area and plot evil, take them back." , sent to keep company with the Song family."
"you……"
Song Mo whined and couldn't speak, his mouth full of blood.
Lu Zhinian tried to speak but was gagged and dragged away.
The leader of the black armored guard wiped the scabbard in disgust: "I couldn't find anything belonging to the Song family, but I got an unexpected gain. This matter about the Lu family is interesting."
…
The Lu family was extremely quiet after nightfall. Lu Chongyuan had no idea that Lu Zhinian had left the house and fell into Xiao Yan's hands. He was still discussing Song Tangning's affairs with Lu Zhao and the other two.
He didn't expect that the little girl would be so difficult to deal with, nor did he expect that Xiao Yan actually escaped. Now that the two sides are in such trouble, those things may not be able to be kind.
"Father, what should we do now?" Lu Zhao asked in a low voice.
Lu Chongyuan's face was extremely ugly. Even though he was as scheming as a fox and good at planning, he still didn't know how to deal with the current situation, as if he was trapped in a situation and all roads were blocked.
"Then Song Tangning is so fed up with the Lu family for some reason that she doesn't give us any room to maneuver. Originally, she wanted to use the marriage contract to force her to let go, but now she would rather break up than be nice..."
Asking Lu Zhinian to kneel down and apologize to her, or even tell the world in person that the Lu family had treated her harshly, what was the difference between this and stepping on the Lu family's face?
It seemed that she was just retaliating against Lu Zhinian and humiliated him, but the Lu family would also be completely embarrassed, and if Lu Zhinian really knelt down, his future would be completely ruined.
When a man from a distinguished family kneels down to a girl, how will others see him?
How could Lu Chongyuan agree? !
Lu Chongyuan frowned: "In the past, when the Song family was here, they could still control them. Even if King Cheng was well, he could still hold the elders down and suppress Song Tangning, but now..."
Song Tangning's only elder was Princess Cheng, who was extremely protective of her shortcomings. The Song family and Prince Cheng were imprisoned and the other was banned from the house, and no one could control Song Tangning.
She is like a slippery loach, and no one can do anything to her.
Lu Qin couldn't help but show a ruthless look on his face: "Since we can't control it, and Song Tangning refuses to give up, why don't we strike first? She is just a little girl without a father and mother. As long as I ruin her reputation, I will I don’t believe she still has the nerve to make trouble with our Lu family..."
When Lu Zhao heard this, he immediately raised his eyes: "Second brother, isn't it too mean of you to do this?"
"What do you mean by doing something bad?"
Lu Qin's face was full of frosty anger: "She is a little girl who doesn't know how to be docile and has no regard for the long-term friendship between the Lu family. She is about to tear my Lu family's face off and trample on the ground. She wishes she could destroy Sanlang."
"Brother, if you think it's cowardly, then you can come up with a way to stop it. Could it be that you really want to wait for the three days to come and she will sue the entire Lu family to Jingzhao Mansion. By then, the Empress and the Four What should the prince do?"
"Or is the eldest brother willing to ask Sanlang to kneel to her, kowtow to admit her mistake to a little girl like her, and let her ride on the head of our Lu family from now on?!"
Lu Zhao's face turned ugly when he asked, and he fell silent.
Lu Qin turned to Lu Chongyuan: "Father, if Song Tangning is unable to get in, our Lu family cannot be left in the hands of a little girl like her. If it becomes a big thing, we will not stick to trivial matters. Let's get over the current situation first."
"As long as Song Tangning's reputation is ruined, even if the engagement is broken off, it won't be the Lu family's fault. Even with Xiao Yan protecting her, the Lu family will have a way to stop the rumors from outside, and no one will turn against her. If you think this method is too Cruel, in the worst case, if Sanlang takes her into the house as a concubine in the future, it will be regarded as a kind-hearted act of the Lu family."
