Hua Wu led Mrs. Fu to the backyard. Several servants of the Fu family were ordered to carry out the boxes that had been moved into the house. Song Tangning couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and whispered: "Scared." Kill me."
Xiao Yan stood aside and felt unhappy: "Why are you scared?"
"Of course it's Mrs. Fu. I thought she just came over casually to take a look, and I thought she was too polite to send so many things, but who would have thought that she was actually..."
Song Tangning felt extremely embarrassed when she thought of what happened just now. She couldn't help but murmur softly: "I don't know what the old lady was thinking, but she actually fell in love with me..."
Although she had the upper hand in the Lu family's affairs before, the outside discussions about her have never stopped. Although those students from poor families will remember her kindness, there are also some who say that she is strong towards the Lu family and cruel to the Song family.
She knew what people outside said about her, saying that she had no feminine dignity and chastity, and that she often caused trouble when she appeared in public.
The Fu family is not an ordinary family in Beijing, and Mrs. Fu is also the one who cares about rules the most. How could she fall in love with her?
Although Xiao Yan didn't like that bastard of the Fu family coveting his own child, he still frowned when he heard her demeaning herself: "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking down on yourself?"
Hearing this, Song Tangning raised her fair neck and looked at him: "Brother, of course I think I'm good at everything, but others don't think so."
"You said it was someone else."
Xiao Yan said in a deep voice: "There are only two kinds of people in this world, those who are related to you and those who have nothing to do with you."
"Except those who have nothing to do with you, those who care about you will naturally understand your goodness. If you don't care, why should you pay attention to what they say? Moreover, those who wantonly belittle others may not necessarily be because of what they say. No matter how bad people are, they just want to elevate themselves by belittling others. Only by standing on a high place and giving guidance to others can they show their virtue."
"People like this are no different from rot flies, why should we care."
Song Tangning was stunned for a moment. In fact, she was not sad, and she didn't care what people said about her. Those rumors couldn't hurt her at all.
The emotion she just expressed was just wondering how the Fu family could fall in love with her, but the person in front of her tried so hard and earnestly to tell her not to say anything accidentally and not to take herself lightly.
Song Tangning couldn't help but feel soft in her heart: "Brother, I don't care about them, as long as brother doesn't dislike me, that's fine."
The little girl's voice was soft and soft, as if coated in honey, her almond-shaped eyes were as clear as day, and her cloying smile seemed to drown people in it.
"I only care about my brother, I don't care about other people."
The phrase "care" is like a seductive twine, and the soft ending sound is soft and refreshingly sweet.
Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and was slightly startled. For a moment, his breathing became tight for an unknown reason. He looked at her smiling face as she tiptoed closer, her neck slightly tilted up to reveal the fair curve of her neck.
He suddenly averted his eyes, and his throat rolled as his jaw tightened.
Song Tangning didn't know why, "Brother, you won't hate me, right?"
Xiao Yan's back straightened: "Of course not, I am your brother."
In fact, he didn't often mention the word "brother" in front of Tang Ning. Even though he always raised him as a child, he rarely expressed his seniority in his words to suppress her. When he said it deliberately at this time, he didn't know Is it reminding someone, or suppressing my suddenly confused heart.
As if to remind himself, Xiao Yan lowered his eyes and whispered again: "No matter what happens outside, brother will protect you."
Song Tangning didn't notice the strangeness in his expression, and only showed a big smile: "I know that brother loves me the most, and I like brother the most!"
Xiao Yan's breathing that had just calmed down became chaotic again, and this time, even his heartbeat was in a panic.
…
Xiao Yan did not hide the affairs in the palace from Song Tangning. He told her when she asked, and also told her about Song Jin's reinstatement as official.
Although Song Tangning did not like Song Jinxiu, he knew that he could help Xiao Yan take the blame for the family. When resisting the attack from the family, he did not question the matter at all and only said that he would follow Xiao Yan's arrangements.
She listened to the changes in the court, listened to how Xiao Yan and Qian Baokun competed with the aristocratic family, whispered her own opinions, and analyzed the current situation in the court from Xiao Yan's mouth.
In just a short period of time, she had grown up rapidly, and she was no longer the little girl who didn't understand anything. Xiao Yan looked at her seriously speaking, but his thoughts were a bit strange, and his eyes fell on her open and closed pink lips from time to time. On the tender red lips, I suddenly felt how her facial features could be so small.
His eyes were clear, his skin was alluringly white, and his red lips were so small. When his eyes were slightly focused, he couldn't help but subconsciously reached out and touched his lips...
"Brother?" Song Tangning tilted his head, "Am I right?"
Xiao Yan froze, his brows furrowed as he quickly retracted his hand.
What nonsense is he thinking about? !
Seeing the little girl looking at him with trust, her apricot eyes so clear, Xiao Yan frowned and spat.
"Brother..." Seeing his sudden unhappy expression, Song Tangning thought that she had said something wrong and couldn't help but whisper in a low voice, "Did I say something wrong?"
"No."
Xiao Yan said, "You are right. The current rift between the aristocratic families is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"Cui Lin has long coveted the position of the head of the family. He is also dissatisfied with Lu Chongyuan's occupying the position of Zhongshu. He gathered the power of the family to assist the queen and the fourth prince to work for the Lu family. He secretly betrayed the Lu family because he wanted to use my hand to suppress it. Lu Chongyuan was one or two, but who knew that half of the Lu family's life had been lost. If people from other aristocratic families discovered what Cui Lin had done, he would no longer have a foothold in the court and would be attacked by people from the aristocratic families. Of."
"The Lu family's many years of foundation are not without the ability to fight back. Cui Lin is afraid of Lu Chongyuan's revenge and is also afraid of being isolated by the family. His only choice now is to completely suppress the Lu family and let Lu Chongyuan and others become Cui family members like those of the He family. He is a stepping stone for me, so he will spare no effort to help me complete the 'evidence' of the Lu family."
Whether it is unfounded or true, no one knows what they have done over the years better than the people within the family.
The account book and the things Qian Baokun sent to the Holy Father alone could not kill the Lu family, but if we add those in the hands of the Cui family...
It was enough to kill everyone in the Lu family.
Xiao Yan's heart was filled with confusion, but he remained gentle when facing Song Tangning:
"So you don't have to worry. Those people in the aristocratic family only care about interests. Once they see that the Lu family has no chance to recover, those who helped the Lu family plead for mercy today will be the first to add insult to injury. They will have red eyes like the most vicious hungry wolves. They will eat up and down the Lu family until there are no bones left."
Song Tangning heard this and said in a low voice: "Then Mr. Qian..."
"Don't worry, he will always be fine."
Qian Baokun was a rare courtier who was capable and had the people at heart. Even when he initially planned to take advantage of him, he left a way out for him.
Song Tangning felt relieved after hearing this.
Knowing that the Lu family's affairs were settled, and that Xiao Yan and the Qian family were temporarily fine, Song Tangning's heart that had been holding on tightly relaxed completely, and then he became worried about Princess Cheng.
She had no interest in Fu Laiqing, and had never thought about getting married again. She was a little worried that Mrs. Fu would say something that she shouldn't say to Princess Cheng, and she was also afraid that Princess Cheng's pregnancy would be known to cause trouble, so she left in a hurry. Enter the residence of Princess Cheng.
Xiao Yan looked at her leaving figure and pursed his lips.
"Master Governor, does this Fu family member have a crush on our girl?"
When Cang Lang came in from the outside, his face was full of gossip: "I just looked at the boxes carried out by the Fu family. They were filled with rare and good things. It doesn't look like they are just here to visit the girl, and that Mr. Fu." Jun, let me tell you why he took a detour to the south of the city when he was in good condition. He is in love with the girl and wants to show his courtesy to her."
Xiao Yan's face suddenly turned cold, and when he raised his eyes to look at Cang Lang, he had a fierce aura.
Cang Lang didn't notice anything was wrong, he opened his mouth and leaned close to Xiao Yan.
"I looked at Mrs. Fu as if she was here to marry her. She looked like she wanted to marry our girl right away. Do you think she wanted to visit Princess Cheng this time to discuss her marriage first and then wait for a while? Time to get engaged again?”
"But I see that Mr. Fu and the girl are quite a match. They are about the same age. The Fu family is not bad, much better than those bastards from the Lu family. With Mrs. Fu liking her so much, if the girl is married back, she will be able to marry him. Having a good time..."
Jinyun looked at Xiao Yan's increasingly cold face and silently took half a step back.
The next moment, Xiao Yan stood up and kicked Canglang's calf bone.
boom--
Canglang tilted his body and almost hit his head on the table. When he stabilized his body, he saw Xiao Yan, who was covered in cold clothes, striding away with his clothes fluttering. He was confused: "What's wrong, Lord Governor?"
Jinyun: "...shut up."
Canglang: "..."
"What's wrong? I'm not wrong." The Fu family is interested in Miss Song. Mrs. Fu can't really just come to see Song Tangning, right?
Seeing that he hadn't reacted yet, Jinyun couldn't help but close his eyes: Forget it, he would be stupid to death sooner or later.
