Song Jinxiu had not heard any news from the outside world for a long time, and when he suddenly heard the words "Mrs. Song", he felt as if he was in another world.
Tang Ning...
Became the lord of Yiyang County?
He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at his withered hands, looking stunned.
After the whole Song family was imprisoned, he was first taken to the Criminal Division for severe torture, and then was thrown into the imperial prison. The former Mr. Yutai is now skinny, with dirty prison clothes hanging empty on his body, and his exposed wrists are almost You can see the raised veins.
His originally gentle and jade-like face was thin and pale, and his kind and gentle eyes seemed to be stained with a dark color of dusk. Although not ugly, there was no hint of orchid or jade tree at all.
In this dark prison, the dim and swaying light and shadow seemed to remind Song Jinxiu all the time that he was no longer what he used to be.
From the beginning, he was hoping that someone would come and see him, that someone would talk to him about the outside world, and that he would be able to go out. However, day after day passed, the cell door was never opened, and no one even took a look at him.
None of the relatives of the Song family, Song Tangning, and former friends came.
Not only Song Jinxiu heard what the jailers said, but also the people in the cell next to him heard it clearly.
"Brother, it's Song Tangning!"
Song Shulan was lying in front of the cell door, her eyes wide open and full of resentment.
It is obvious that Song Tangning is the legitimate daughter of the Song family. It is obvious that she is the girl of the Song family who has enjoyed the wealth and supremacy of the Song family for more than ten years. She has only been in the Song family for half a year.
Why was she suffering in prison, while Song Tangning was able to live freely outside, and why was she named the county head? !
Song Shulan cried: "How could she become the head of the county? How could she... She must have used the Song family as a stepping stone and betrayed her brother and father to please His Majesty. How could she be so vicious..."
"She is vicious? If she was half as vicious as you, how could you have entered the Song family in the first place? If she had your thoughts and schemes, she would not have been forced by you to turn against the Song family, and she would have torn you into pieces long ago. Are you still allowed to talk nonsense?"
A hoarse voice came from the dark cell opposite, and Lu Zhinian leaned against the cell door with mocking eyes on his face.
"But you call Song Hong father? Does he recognize you? The whole Song family may regard you as a disaster star, but a scoundrel of unknown origin. This call of father and brother is quite smooth."
Song Shulan looked up in disbelief: "You...how could you say that to me..."
"Did I say something wrong? Since you appeared, has the Song family experienced any improvement? But it's not right to call you a disaster star. A scheming bitch like you can defeat your father, your mother, your family members, and the only star of evil. But that's it." Lu Zhinian's mouth was vicious.
"Brother Lu..."
Song Shulan's face was pale and she was in tears, but before she could shed tears as usual, Lu Zhinian suddenly became angry.
"Shut up, who is your brother!" He said with frosty eyes, "We in the Lu family don't have a shameless girl like you who would marry anyone in sight."
Song Shulan trembled: "Brother Lu..."
"I told you to shut up!"
Lu Zhinian didn't know what taboo had been touched, and there was a ferocious expression on his face: "Who allowed you to call me that? You are just a shameless outsider, a bitch who clings to a high tree without shame."
"This is Tang Ning's title. Only Tang Ning can call me like this. Who do you think you are?!"
He was beaten with a cane, his back was soaked in blood, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy, not much better than Song Jinxiu.
He couldn't see it when he was hiding in the dark, but when he threw himself on the cell door, his face full of anger was revealed.
Ever since he was arrested and imprisoned that night, Lu Zhinian has been trapped in those dreams. The headaches day after day disturbed him, and the torture like an awl drilling into his mind made him wish he could die directly. Whenever I close my eyes, all that comes to mind are those unsightly dreams.
There was how he was obsessed with Song Shulan, and how despicable he was and how he failed Song Tangning.
He saw with his own eyes that he lost his mind because of Song Shulan, because she ignored the Lu family's rules and welcomed a concubine pretending to be a concubine into the house, for her she demoted Song Tangning into the dust, and because of her she ignored the rules of the Lu family and brought Song Tangning into the dust. The girl was sent to a dead end.
He seemed to have lived an extra lifetime, spending half of his life in that messy dream.
In the dim courtyard, half of the dead trees seemed to be mocking his meanness and shamelessness.
He seemed to be attached to Song Tangning in the dream, feeling her pain, watching her pain and despair, and watching helplessly as she withered and decayed day by day from her original fresh appearance, and finally died...
Lu Zhinian couldn't break free and was trapped in a nightmare, unable to extricate himself.
In those haunting dreams, the woman's artificial "Brother Lu" overlapped with Song Shulan's cry outside, and Song Shulan's face in the prison not far away was like a ghost, reminding him of the things he had done in the "dream" Stupid thing.
Lu Zhinian seemed to be irritated and knocked hard on the cell door. The loud sound frightened Song Shulan, who turned pale and retreated in panic. When Lu Zhinian looked at her, she looked like a man-eating beast.
"Bitch!!"
It was all her. If it hadn't been for her, how could he have betrayed Tang Ning?
If it weren't for her, how could he and Tang Ning be where they are today! !
Song Shulan looked at the ferocious Lu Zhinian, as if he was going to peel off her skin and cramp her lower abdomen in the next moment.
Full of panic, she shrank back close to Song Jinxiu, trembling with fear, reaching out and grabbing Song Jinxiu's sleeves and saying tremblingly: "Brother...Brother, I'm afraid..."
Song Jinxiu waved his sleeve and shook off her hand: "What are you afraid of across the cell door?"
"Brother..."
Song Shulan's eyes widened in panic, and tears quickly filled her eyes.
But in the past, when he saw her crying, he would soften his heart and wish to hold all the good things in front of her. The brother who coaxed her to smile still looked at her with an indifferent expression.
Those black eyes were as if they were tempered with ice, and they were so sharp that they seemed to be able to see through her, making Song Shulan's face pale and her eyes panicked.
"Brother..."
Her lips curled up. Why did he look at her like that? What did he know?
Song Jinxiu looked at the stained face, the guilty conscience and uneasiness under her tearful eyes that she tried her best to hide but could not hide, and lowered her eyes and laughed at herself.
How could he have thought before that the woman in front of him was weaker than Tang Ning and would be unable to survive without his protection?
Song Jinxiu looked at Song Shulan's face carefully, and saw that she was hiding and fearful, and her guilty conscience was getting stronger, and the sarcasm in his eyes became even more intense.
He really didn't understand why he, who had always been praised as extremely intelligent and who had been able to see through people's hearts since he was a child and entered the court early, was deceived by this woman's poor acting skills.
