Xiao Yan was still wearing a crimson robe, and the long hem of the robe brushed across the front steps. The sunlight fell on him through the holes in the stone eaves in front of the courtyard, making his side face look cold and relaxed. He could reach out to hold the hand in front of him. The girl's movements were gentle and gentle, and her eyes could not stop being gentle: "Why are you running so fast? Be careful and you will fall."
Song Tangning stood firm on her feet, holding on to his sleeves and panting: "Brother, are you okay?"
"What can happen to me?"
He glanced at the slender white fingers that were holding on to the cuffs, and his eyes fell on the half-exposed wrist. He glanced away and said, "It's just looking for bad luck. You should worry about others."
Song Tangning frowned: "Why should I worry about others?"
They are not hers!
She looked at Xiao Yan carefully and saw that he seemed to be amused and relaxed, and there was no trace of reluctance on his face. The heart that she had been holding tightly relaxed a little. Cang Lang, who was following behind, saw this and smiled jokingly. Said: "Don't worry, girl, the governor just led us to ransack a house, what big thing could happen..."
"Search your home?!" Song Tangning's tone suddenly rose again after he relaxed.
Seeing the little girl's eyes widening in shock, Xiao Yan glanced at the talkative Cang Lang: "Don't listen to his nonsense. I just took someone to the Lu family to find something, and there was just some conflict."
Song Tangning was worried: "Then are they in trouble, brother?"
Cang Lang suddenly laughed: "The girl is too biased, why don't you ask the governor if he has made things difficult for them?"
The governor of his family has a bad reputation, and no one mentions it without first derogating him. Whenever there is a conflict, he is said to be the one who deceived others. Everyone thinks that the person who is wrong must be the governor, but their girl is better. When she speaks, she thinks it is the governor. After being wronged, not to mention Canglang, even Jinyun who had followed him couldn't help but remain silent this time.
Seeing that Tang Ning was embarrassed, Xiao Yan glared at Cang Lang: "Are you the only one who talks a lot?"
Cang Lang shrank his neck.
Xiao Yan then turned to Tang Ning: "Don't worry, I will never let myself be wronged, and the Lu family can't embarrass me."
The sun fell on Song Tangning's face, causing her to close her eyes subconsciously. Xiao Yan subconsciously put his hand in front of her forehead to shield her from the light: "How is Song Ru?"
Tang Ning's eyelashes fluttered: "It's nothing serious. The Lu family didn't hurt her muscles and bones. It's just that the harsh treatment Aru received in the Song family made her too weak. Sister Qin said she should have a good life."
"Then take good care of it. There are all kinds of medicinal materials in the house. If you need anything, let Madam Qin get it. She knows where to put it."
Xiao Yan didn't have much impression of Song Ru at first. When they met twice, she would just bow politely and run away in a hurry. She would never be alone with him. He originally thought that the little girl was afraid of him, but later he realized I found that she seemed to be deliberately avoiding suspicion. Not only him, but also Song Ru would also deliberately avoid Gu Helian when he came.
She never appeared in places where she was not supposed to be, and she never took the initiative to make friends with those who were good to Tang Ning. Even she rarely got close to Princess Cheng. The little girl only guarded her own sense of propriety. Quietly being Tang Ning's younger sister, and seeing how such a timid and cowardly girl would risk everything to save Tang Ning in danger, Xiao Yan was naturally willing to take care of her.
Song Tangning gave a soft "hmm" and nodded: "Okay."
Seeing her obedient and clever look, Xiao Yan said, "Since Song Ru is fine, what about your injury? Have you let Madam Qin see it?"
Song Tangning was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously denied it: "I didn't..."
Well.
Song Tangning groaned in pain when his back shoulder was lightly pinched, and his face turned a little pale.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan let go of his hand and put his palm on her shoulder through the clothes and pressed it a few times. Seeing her eyebrows relax and her shoulders that had been lightly shrugged relax, he said to her: " Although no bones were injured, you still need to take medicine, otherwise your shoulder will be swollen tomorrow and won’t go away for several days.”
He lowered his eyes and watched her fluttering her eyelashes, without any intention of blaming her, he just whispered:
"I know you don't want Princess Cheng to worry about you, but you don't have to hide it in front of me." After a pause, he said, "Are you scared today?"
Song Tangning stared blankly at the man in front of her who asked softly. He was much taller than her, but he always lowered his neck to accommodate her when he spoke. The big hands on his shoulders exuded an aura of warmth even through his clothes. The temperature, and his sudden concern also made Song Tangning surface the grievances and fears that Song Ru had suppressed due to worry.
The girl couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes: "Brother, he almost cheated on me."
The arm that Lu Zhinian had grabbed was sore, and the area where he had hugged her was even more uncomfortable. Just thinking about being almost kissed by Lu Zhinian made her feel sick.
Xiao Yan's eyes were full of anger, and when he saw her red eyes lowered, he whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
As Song Tangning listened to the whispers in her ears, her grievances became increasingly difficult to suppress.
She actually knew that she shouldn't be like this, but it was just a fright. Next time, she would learn a lesson and not let others get close to her easily. She should not be frightened by such a trivial thing even if she has already died once. She should learn from it. She was wondering how to deal with these troubles, but the hand on her shoulder was too warm, and her brother's indulgence made her unable to bear it for a while.
She was full of squeamishness and shed tears: "Brother, I hate Lu Zhinian."
"Um."
"I never want to see him again."
"good."
Listening to his crisp reply, Song Tangning's grievance was replaced by fright. She looked up hastily with tears in her eyelashes: "I was just saying casually, brother, don't touch him."
Xiao Yan lowered her eyes, her voice was hoarse:
"If you want to take his life, the Lu family will pester you. I will always have someone by my side from now on and will never be alone with him."
She thought of Xiao Yan's decisive and decisive temper in the past, and was afraid that he would really kill Lu Zhinian because of a random nonsense she said. She couldn't help but reached out and gently pulled the hem of Xiao Yan's clothes, and said with a hint of breath in her voice: "I am. I'm a little scared, so brother can just comfort me."
Xiao Yan looked at her with red eyes and looked up at him. Her misty almond eyes were filled with concern and concern. She showed her love and hate without any concealment. The ripples of her eyes hit people's hearts in a flash. He couldn't bear it. Zhu's expression softened and he put his hand in her hair.
"Okay, brother, let me coax you."
…
Madam Qin stood in the house and looked through the window lattice at the two people standing in front of the courtyard, one tall and one small, seemingly dependent on each other. She couldn't help but frown.
"Ms. Qin, what's wrong with you?" Hua Wu came in with water and couldn't help but poke his head when he saw her in a daze.
Madam Qin pushed the little girl's head back: "It's nothing."
She just felt that the formerly cold-hearted Governor Xiao was a little too concerned about Song Tangning, his "sworn sister"? And the look in his eyes... Mrs. Qin touched her chin, said "tsk", turned her head and said to the confused Hua Wu: "Go and twist a handkerchief over, wipe Mrs. Ru's body, and after two more The hour calls her to get up and take medicine.”
Hua Wu nodded blankly: "Yes, Madam Qin."
