When Song Jinxiu looked at Lu Zhinian across from him, it was as if he saw himself before.
It was obvious that there was a chance to save him at the beginning, it was obvious that Tang Ning had not killed everyone as soon as he came back, and it was obvious that she had already told him that at that time, all she wanted was a sincere apology.
But he was always self-righteous, thinking that the little girl was just joking to get angry, and that she was willful and easy to coax. He never thought about how much grievance Tang Ning had suffered, but always felt that if he casually said "I'm sorry", she would have to open her heart. forgive.
He protected Song Shulan and his own face, thinking that since he was his brother, Tang Ning should forgive him unconditionally for anything and would never really be separated from her anyway. Both himself and the Song family were put into a desperate situation.
Song Jinxiu raised his lips and smiled sarcastically, let go of Song Shulan's slender neck, and sat leaning against the cell door without saying another word.
But Lu Zhinian only felt that his laughter was harsh: "What are you laughing at?"
There was no response from the other side.
Lu Zhinian's heart was beating uneasily, and he could see the sarcasm on Song Jinxiu's face through the cell door: "I asked you why you are laughing, Song Jinxiu, what are you talking about..."
"Why are you making such a fuss, are you risking your life?!"
Someone suddenly came in from outside and swung the whip in his hand towards the cell door. Lu Zhinian couldn't avoid it and was hit on the side of his face. He screamed in pain and staggered backwards to the ground.
The man who came in glanced at Song Jinxiu and the others, raised his hand, took back the whip and wrapped it around his wrist.
"Captain Wu, how could you hit someone..."
"The prison is noisy and noisy. It's Rongqing who didn't cut out his tongue. If you have any objections, ask your master to mention it to my governor!"
The servant of the Lu family looked extremely ugly, but he could only endure it when facing the fierce-looking black-armored guard. He was afraid that he would have a hard time getting in to pick up Mr. Sanlang, and would offend the people in the Privy Council and cause trouble later.
The man who spoke was the one who captured Lu Zhinian that day, his name was Wu Kui. Seeing that the Lu family didn't speak again, he snorted coldly and knocked hard on the cell door with a whip.
"Lu Zhinian, you can go out."
Inside, Lu Zhinian suddenly raised his head, and showed joy regardless of the pain on his face: "Can I go out?"
"Sanlang-kun..."
Lu Zhinian's eyes instantly moistened when he saw a familiar person standing in front of the cell door against the light: "Uncle Rong."
Lu Rong quickly turned his head: "Master Cha, this cell door..."
"Let's open it."
The jailer who was following him got the order and quickly stepped forward to open the chain hanging on the cell door. When the cell door opened with a "squeak", Lu Rong quickly entered the cell and said, "Mr. Sanlang, are you okay?" Right? Are you okay?"
Lu Zhinian's eyes suddenly turned red, feeling both the joy of surviving the disaster and the grievance of being locked up in this prison for many days: "Uncle Rong, where are my father and grandfather?"
Lu Rong's expression paused when he remembered what happened in the mansion today, and just whispered: "Uncle, I'm waiting for you outside..."
"Then grandfather..."
"Are you done? Let's catch up on old times before we go out!" Wu Kui saw the two people inside talking nonstop, knocked on the cell door impatiently and shouted with a frown.
When Lu Zhinian heard this, he wanted to get angry, but Lu Rong grabbed his wrist.
"Sanlang-kun, let's go out first."
After Lu Rong helped Lu Zhinian, who was injured behind him, out of the cell door, before Lu Zhinian could turn his head and want to say something to Song Jinxiu over there, Wu Kui, who was wearing armor, urged him impatiently: "Hurry up, don't delay thing."
"you……"
"Why, Lu Sanlang hasn't stayed enough yet, do you want to stay for a few more days?"
Lu Zhinian had never been so neglected before. He wanted to get angry when he heard this, but Lu Rong still stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Colonel Wu, let's leave now."
Seeing how Lu Rong, who used to follow his father and never bowed his head to others, kept forbearing again and again, he even knelt down like this to a mere captain in the black-armored guard.
Lu Zhinian vaguely sensed that something was wrong. After his original anger dissipated, he felt faintly uneasy. He didn't say anything anymore, but was supported by Lu Rong and walked out.
Wu Kui, who was following behind, cursed "coward" secretly when he saw this. He originally thought that if the Lu family's Sanlang dared to talk back, he could take the opportunity to give him a few more whips to vent his anger on the governor's wife. But I didn't expect that this family member could tolerate such indignity and irritation. The servants of the Lu family are also very smart, which is a pity.
The light in the prison was dim. Wu Kui regretfully put down his arrogant expression and followed the master and servant of the Lu family outside. When he reached the end of the corridor, a "clang" sound suddenly came from behind him, as if something hit him. The sound of the cell door.
He subconsciously glanced back and saw Song Jinxiu, dressed in prison clothes, leaning in front of the cell door, looking up at this side. He seemed to be holding something in his hand, which vaguely looked like a woman's figure.
Wu Kui paused for a moment, sneered, and then continued walking out.
And in the prison where Song Jinxiu was at the end of the corridor, Song Shulan was dragged tightly against the gap in the cell door, and her neck fell into Song Jinxiu's hands and was strangled by him.
After Lu Zhinian and the others disappeared, Song Jinxiu looked at Song Shulan with an indifferent expression as he grabbed her by the neck and pressed her head against the prison railing, drawing blood.
"Lu Zhinian is not someone you can climb. Even your tricks can't fool the Lu family. If you don't want to die an ugly death, then just be more peaceful. Otherwise, if you are targeted by the Lu family, you will be dead. have you understood?"
Song Shulan felt as if her throat was about to be cut off, and the extremely cold voice in her ears also sent chills all over her body.
She was suffocating and had difficulty breathing in her throat. She opened her mouth wide and tried hard to breathe. She could only hold Song Jinxiu's wrist with her hands.
"Brother...I...I know, brother...I...I don't dare..."
Song Jinxiu's hands were bloody when she scratched them, but they remained motionless like iron pliers.
Seeing that her face turned pale and then turned purple, as if she would suffocate at any moment, he thought of the once-prominent Duke's Mansion, Song Hong and the others who were imprisoned in a severe prison, and Song Tangning who broke with them.
When Song Jinxiu clenched his fingers hard, the killing intent filled his eyes at that moment. He knew that he could break Song Shulan's neck with just a little force, but after a moment, he still let go.
"Cough cough cough——"
Song Shulan staggered and fell to the ground, bent over and coughed violently. She covered her neck and shrank back into the corner in horror, her face as pale as paper. Song Jinxiu rubbed his hand on the ground and whispered: "Be good and don't cause trouble again. Brother loves you."
Song Shulan crossed her arms and trembled.
Song Jinxiu went crazy...
They are all crazy! !
It's obviously not like this, it's obvious that they were reluctant to treat her like this before...
madman! ! !
They are all crazy! ! !
