"Father, you lied to me, right? There's no way Tang Ning would treat me like this..."
"It's impossible for her to do this to you, so what's the scene outside? Do you think your grandfather and the others would make fun of the Lu family's reputation and those treasures?!"
When Lu Zhao was speaking, he saw Lu Zhinian's eyes were scarlet, and his whole body seemed to have been shocked. He couldn't help but sullenly said: "Don't tell me that you still miss that Song girl?"
Lu Zhinian hissed: "Father, Tang Ning and I have a misunderstanding. She just misunderstood me. I broke her heart in Qishan, so she would treat us like this. As long as I apologize to her properly, as long as I I must bow my head to her and admit my mistake, and she will forgive me..."
Snapped! !
Lu Zhao couldn't help but slap him again: "Lu Zhinian, are you crazy?!"
The Song daughter had reached this point, and he actually thought he could make peace with her? !
"In the past, when you were engaged to her, you didn't know how to maintain your relationship with her and coax her more. Now that things have become like this, you still want to reconcile with her?"
If he had had this intention, why would the Qishan incident have happened, and why would the Lu family be in this situation? !
Lu Zhao only felt that Lu Zhinian's words were ridiculous, and that was all about the Qishan incident. He could be said to have been careless, but what about the half-box of things that were moved back to the Lu family from Jiuyun Lane?
Several years of engagement, a few scattered possessions, and a trip around Beijing Street with gongs and drums.
Nowadays, who doesn’t know that the Lu family treats Song Tangning harshly?
The half-box contents almost brought shame to the entire Lu family.
In the past, he didn't know how to maintain his relationship and coaxed the Song daughter. Now he knows how to compromise and ask for someone to turn around. Lu Zhao only felt that this son made him angry: "I tell you, the Lu family will never let the Song daughter go again." Enter the mansion!"
"Father……"
Lu Zhinian opened his mouth to defend, but Lu Zhao interrupted categorically:
"You'd better stop thinking about the Song girl. She hates the Lu family extremely and has no friendship with you. Do you know what she wants besides half of the book collection? She wants you to kneel down. In front of the Tang Mansion in Jiuyun Lane for three days, I want you to tell the world with your own words that you have failed her and have no face to renew the engagement, and that it is my Lu family who owes her!"
Lu Zhinian raised his head in disbelief: "No way..."
How could Tangning treat him like this?
Lu Rong sat aside and saw that he refused to believe it, so he couldn't help but whispered: "What the uncle said is true, Mr. Sanlang, that Miss Song is already the head of Yiyang County, and she has no affection for you at all." , these words were spoken by her herself, she not only humiliated you, but also humiliated the entire Lu family."
"When the uncle and I left the house today, she and Xiao Yan brought most of the people in the court into our house, and asked Cao Dejiang and others to choose books for her. Everyone in the capital knows about your breakup with her. I’m afraid everyone knows what the Lu family promised, and if she still cares about you at all, she won’t force you to come here..."
Lu Zhinian's eyesight turned dark, and he was holding on to the wall of the car and teetering on the verge of falling.
He had already expected that Song Tangning would break off the engagement. With her and the Lu family in such trouble, he could also imagine that the mansion was unwilling to accept her into the palace. He even thought about how to persuade his grandfather and the others, how to persuade Tangning to settle down.
As long as Tang Ning is willing to let go, he will treat her well and take her to heart. He will treat her as sincerely as she treated him in the past. As long as she can forgive him, he will never treat her like in the "dream". She and they will also be able to grow old together and hold hands for a lifetime...
But Song Tang was against her, and she actually asked him to kneel in front of Tang Mansion and admit in person that he had failed her.
How is this possible? !
"Father, grandfather didn't promise her, right?" Lu Zhinian trembled, "You didn't promise her, right?!"
He is the legitimate son of the Lu family and the future head of the Lu family. He is the grandson that his grandfather values most.
How could he kneel to a woman?
How could he kneel in front of Jiuyun Lane in front of the world and admit that he was heartless? !
Lu Zhao looked at his pale face and eager for confirmation, and squinted his jaw to avoid his gaze: "Sanlang, your grandfather and I can't help it. Song Tangning has been protected by Xiao Yan and is aggressive with the eunuch. If you don't agree to them, , the Lu family will become the target of public criticism."
Lu Zhinian was trembling all over and looked at Lu Zhao who was facing him with his eyes lowered and avoiding him: "So you just abandoned me?"
"I'm not abandoning you, it's just an expedient measure. The interests of the family come first..."
"enough!"
Lu Zhinian shouted loudly, his eyes red and ferocious.
The interests of the family came first, so they agreed to let him kneel to Song Tangning?
For the sake of the future of the Lu family, they abandoned him, the heir of the Lu family whose reputation had been tarnished, and allowed him to be ridiculed by the world. They saw his reputation ruined and his future lost. Just to save the Lu family and their face, they did everything they could. Let him go without hesitation? !
Lu Zhinian's eyes became increasingly scarlet, and his mottled palms were dripping with blood.
He suddenly remembered Song Jinxiu's sneer before, and his sarcastic eyes when he was silent, and couldn't help but feel chills all over.
It turned out that it was not that Song Jinxiu was depressed and arrogant, but that he could not understand that as early as the day he was imprisoned, he was no longer the Sanlang of the Lu family in the past, but he still thought that there was any difference between him and Song Jinxiu.
Lu Zhao only felt that the way Lu Zhinian looked at him made his hair stand on end. He warned in a low voice: "Sanlang, don't do this. These are just temporary expediency."
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of kneeling down. Once this matter with the Song family is settled, you will leave the capital temporarily. Your grandfather will arrange for you to go to another place to serve as an official first. When you come back after accumulating several years of political achievements, you will be in the capital." Times have changed a long time ago, and no one will remember this little reckless thing you did when you were young."
"What about the Lu family?" Lu Zhinian said coldly.
Lu Zhao's face froze.
Lu Zhinian's face was sarcastic: "When I leave the capital, I have no chance of becoming the head of the family. Does my grandfather think more of the eldest brother, or the fourth and fifth brothers?"
"Sanlang..." Lu Zhao looked slightly flustered when asked.
Lu Zhinian looked at him steadily: "The eldest brother is the grandson of my cousin's grandfather. Because the lineage of offspring is difficult, my grandfather passed away early, so he stayed with us to raise him. Although my grandfather valued him, there was no way he could let the head of the family let him down. The power has fallen by the wayside, and it is even more impossible for the second brother to be a commoner."
"The fourth brother is the son of the second uncle. He was impulsive at a young age and unreasonable. My father probably didn't want him to take over the Lu family and give up the interests of the big family. So it was the fifth brother. My father and grandfather chose to leave me. Fifth brother?"
He was his biological brother from the same mother, and he was of Dafang's blood. Although he was young, he had always been favored by his father.
If it were him, my father would probably be willing.
Lu Zhao was exposed, his face trembled, and he became angry: "Lu Zhinian, I am your father."
