Cang Lang came in with someone and stretched out his hand to invite the Lu family and his son out, but Lu Chongyuan avoided it and looked at Xiao Yan and Xiao Yan with a pale face: "Are you asking for a book collection to build an academy?"
"So what?" Xiao Yan raised his eyes.
Lu Chongyuan's face instantly felt like a dye shop had been opened, and his lips were trembling.
He had known for a long time that Xiao Ai was poisonous, but he didn't expect that he could be so shameless.
If it was just Song Tangning who wanted the Lu family's collection of books, it would be natural for him to refuse. The Lu family would not be afraid if the two sides were at odds with each other. However, she did not do it for selfish reasons, but wanted to use the Lu family's collection of books to open an academy, and was even willing to give Rong Rong the book collection. The relics left by Qian'an were all put out for people to borrow.
He could almost imagine how infamous the Lu family would become in the morning if he rejected Song Tangning now.
The courtiers in the court who were born in the clearest families, as well as the poor students in the capital who had long disliked the aristocratic families, would scold the Lu family until they were bloody.
What's more, this matter has been approved by Emperor An before it was approved.
As soon as the Wende stele was erected, the Qing Dynasty became famous, so he would not miss the opportunity to leave a book and erect a stele to be passed down to future generations. In this case, it was a righteous thing for Song Tangning to exchange Rong Qian'an's relics for the Lu family's books.
If the Lu family did not agree to give it to her, and Song Tangning would sue the Lu family to the government or the court, then it would not be just as simple as the Lu family coveting the belongings of the Mo Rong family.
The fourth prince and the queen will be despised by others, and the Lu family will be nailed to the pillar of shame and criticized by students all over the world.
Lu Chongyuan's face turned blue and white, and Lu Zhao was trembling with anger.
Xiao Yan tilted his head slightly when he saw this: "Lu Zhongshu isn't leaving yet?"
"I don't know that Mrs. Song is out of righteousness..." Lu Chongyuan froze and hissed sweetly in his throat: "Twenty percent, the Lu family is willing to give 20% of the book collection to Miss Song."
"Gift?" Xiao Yan looked at him coldly.
Lu Chongyuan gritted his teeth: "I made a mistake. The Lu family is willing to repay Miss Song with 20% of the collection of books..."
Song Tangning heard this and said: "Fifty percent."
"Thirty percent..." Lu Chongyuan's voice trembled.
Song Tangning scoffed: "Sixty percent."
"Miss Song..."
Lu Chongyuan opened his mouth to speak, but Song Tangning said with a straight face, "I'm not bargaining with Lu Zhongshu. This is what the Lu family owes me."
"Originally, I would be willing even if the Lu family's collection of books was only 30 to 40 percent. But if you ask you to humiliate my brother, I want 60 percent of the Lu family's collection of books. I also want Lu Zhongshu to personally inscribe and erect a monument for the academy. If Lu Zhongshu doesn't want to, then Please go back, I will hit the Qinglong Bell early tomorrow morning and let Your Majesty do justice for me."
Lu Zhao's face was dark with anger, and he opened his mouth to scold Song Tangning for being arrogant, but Lu Chongyuan reached out to stop him.
Lu Chongyuan looked at Song Tangning: "Is there really no need to discuss?"
Song Tangning just remained silent.
Lu Chongyuan's throat was filled with blood: "Okay, fifty percent."
Seeing what Song Tangning wanted to say, he said decisively: "Only 50%. If Mrs. Song wants it, the matter will be settled after the Lu family gives it to you. If you don't want to, just pretend that I didn't say it. I will wait for you to go to court tomorrow." !”
Song Tangning heard the coldness in the words of the old man of the Lu family, and turned to look at Xiao Yan. Seeing that he was nodding towards her, she said with regret:
"Okay, for the Queen's sake, it's only 50%. But I'll take someone to choose the books I want." She looked at Lu Chongyuan and said, "I have been to the Lu family's library in the past and helped Lu Zhinian. After sorting out the volumes in the pavilion, I’m sure Lu Zhongshu won’t do the shameless thing of passing off some books as inferior ones, right?”
Lu Chongyuan suddenly regretted so much why the Lu family decided on this marriage in the first place.
Song Tangning has been in and out of the Lu family for many years and knows the things in the Lu family very well. The library used to be the place where Madam Lu used to manipulate Song Tangning and make her copy books and sort out volumes to temper her temper.
Now he has tricked himself, making it impossible for him to do anything in advance.
Lu Chongyuan's heart was bleeding, but he still had to hold on to his face: "Since I promised you, I won't regret it."
Song Tangning then relented: "Then I would like to thank Lu Zhongshu for his generosity on behalf of all the students in the world."
After she got what she wanted, she was a little pleased with the Lu family, and they were quite warm.
"Why are Lu Zhongshu still standing? Sit down quickly. I'll go get someone to serve you tea."
When Lu Chongyuan heard this, he felt even more depressed. In the past, he only thought Xiao Yan was disgusting, but he didn't know that this little girl from the Song family was not too generous. He couldn't stay in Jiuyun Lane for a moment longer.
Giving up 50% of the books in the house made him feel more distressed than chopping off flesh. He suppressed the sweet smell in his throat and hissed: "No need, it's late at night, I don't want to bother you, so I'll leave first."
"That's it, then I won't keep you here so Lu Zhongshu can leave."
Xiao Yan said quietly: "Send Lu Zhongshu out."
The two of them didn't even bother to show off. Lu Chongyuan choked with anger, flicked his sleeves vigorously, turned around and walked out.
Lu Zhao took a deep look at Song Tangning: "Ms. Song, what I said before was not false. Governor Xiao treats you...you should be more careful yourself. Don't turn around with your sincerity and be betrayed by others. Your life will be gone by then."
He glanced at the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin that fell on the ground, snorted coldly, then turned around and left.
Song Tangning saw that he was slandering his brother when he left, and he was immediately angry: "Why are these people from the Lu family so annoying! I should take 60%!"
"If you really want 60%, Lu Chongyuan can fall out with you directly."
The Lu family's collection of books has been accumulated by ancestors for generations. Taking half of it would be enough to make Lu Chongyuan feel heartbroken, but less than half wouldn't make him risk everything.
He had been dealing with Lu Chongyuan for some years, and he could tell just now that the old guy was on the verge of rage. If he really wanted one more point, and it exceeded his bottom line, he would probably risk it all.
Xiao Yan looked at the unhappy little girl and said, "Actually, what Lu Zhao said is right. You must be on guard against others. You should be more careful about me."
Song Tangning was immediately dissatisfied: "Brother!"
"What I said is true. I have never been kind to others. You are so gullible. If something happens to my governor in the future, you will also..."
"Xiao Yan!"
This was the first time Song Tangning had called him by his name, and her voice was already filled with annoyance. Seeing that she had a dark face, she looked like she would fall out with him if he said another word.
Xiao Yan's words of advice disappeared on his lips, and he could only sigh silently. This child had suffered a lot and never learned to grow up, but he was so unprepared that he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
Seeing that she was angry, he stretched out his hand to smooth her hair: "Okay, I won't say anything anymore, don't be angry."
Song Tangning snorted and slapped the claws on her head unhappily, but in her heart she resented Lu Zhao for causing trouble for her before leaving. She rolled her eyes and shouted out: "Canglang..."
"Girl?"
"Come."
Song Tangning is full of mischief.
