Cang Lang hid in the dark with his long sword and stared at him eagerly. When the fourth prince did something wrong, he chopped off his claws. Even Hang Li and Hua Wu looked at the fourth prince in amazement.
This person is so bold that he dares to covet their mistress/girl, but he doesn’t even want the other two legs?
If the governor knew this, his head would be screwed.
Tang Ning never thought that the fourth prince would actually have such thoughts. Seeing him looking at her steadily, suppressing his disgust, his smile turned cold.
"No reward for no merit, the Fourth Prince should take back these treasures, I can't have them."
However, the fourth prince only thought she was embarrassed and said quickly: "How could it be in vain? Yesterday, the county master helped Governor Xiao teach the Lu family a lesson and avenge my death. Just now he took the trouble to remind me. I am sorry to the county." The Lord is grateful. Although this pearl is rare, I am willing to give it to the county magistrate. I hope the county magistrate will not refuse."
Tang Ning: "..."
Even more disgusting.
Seeing the fourth prince holding the pearl and looking at her expectantly, with the heat and ambiguity in his eyes barely concealable, Tang Ning took half a step back.
"I think the Fourth Prince misunderstood."
"The purpose of dealing with the Lu family is to vent my anger on myself. I have already had a quarrel with them, and everything I do has nothing to do with His Highness. As for reminding His Highness, it is just because my brother is surrounded by wolves in the court. I don't want to Because the fourth prince was confused for a moment and did something to drag down my brother."
The little perfunctory gentleness left on her face was completely gone, and she didn't retain any emotion when she spoke.
"I don't like pearls, and I don't like treasures that come to my door for no reason. Fourth Prince, please put them away."
The fourth prince's face froze: "Did the county master misunderstand? This pearl is just a thank you gift..."
"Whether I have misunderstood or not is not important. What is important is that Your Highness should not misunderstand anything."
After Tang Ning's almond-shaped eyes lost their smile, they felt alienated for no reason.
"Tang Ning..."
"Your Highness, respect yourself."
Seeing that the fourth prince actually wanted to reach out to catch her, Tang Ning waved her sleeves and backed away, her expression even colder: "I don't want to say anything unpleasant."
"His Highness said that you have obtained this pearl a long time ago, but you have never been able to find a match for it. You have the queen as your mother and the four princes as your wife. They are all working hard for your future, but in your eyes , neither your mother nor your wife is worthy of this dead thing."
"By giving this thing to me, does Your Highness want to humiliate me, or do you want to humiliate the Queen and the Fourth Princess? If others find out, how will the Queen and the others handle themselves?"
When the fourth prince heard this, he saw the sudden indifference on Tang Ning's face, and immediately thought that she was disgusted with his coldness towards the queen and the fourth prince's concubine. He opened his mouth to argue, wanting to say that he didn't mean it this way, but Tang Ning simply didn't mean it. I didn't give him a chance to speak.
"Those who give birth to children do not know how to respect me, and those who live beside me do not know how to pity. The Fourth Prince is so chilling. Please come back, Fourth Prince, and don't come to Cuiyun Lane again in the future."
"Hang Li, see off the guests!"
The fourth prince was "bombed" out while holding the pearl he originally regarded as a treasure. When he arrived outside, his face was still green and white.
Cheng Ping, who followed him, saw that the fourth prince was extremely angry, and he quickly whispered: "Your Highness, please don't be upset, the Lord of Yiyang County may have misunderstood you..."
He actually wanted to say that what the fourth prince said before was indeed inappropriate. If he wanted to praise the Lord of Yiyang County, he should not belittle the queen and the fourth prince's concubine. However, it was his master in front of him, so he had to think carefully about his words.
"The County Lord of Yiyang was brought up under the knee of Grand Tutor Rong when she was a child. The Rong family is upright and values etiquette and rules. She is naturally not that frivolous woman. Moreover, the County Lord has experienced what happened to the Lu family before, so she must be extremely cautious about matters between men and women. The fact that she has never accepted your gift shows that she is pure and worthy of your favor."
"If the Lord of Yiyang County really wants something as valuable as yours casually, then he is vain and unworthy of His Highness."
The fourth prince's face softened a little after listening to Cheng Ping's words. He remembered that Tang Ning had been talking to him softly but his expression suddenly changed. He glanced at the square brocade box in his hand.
"It's my fault. She is a lady of the family. How can a girl raised by the Rong family be as frivolous as other girls?"
His mother had warned him to make good friends with Song Tangning, but not to go too far with his words or deeds. It was because of his temporary infatuation that he mistook her for one of those vain little girls, which offended her for nothing.
However, Song Tangning, who was so cold and distant just now, actually made him like him even more.
The fourth prince couldn't help but feel his heart surge as he thought about Tang Ning's cold and pretty face. However, he remembered what his mother had said before and finally suppressed his thoughts.
Not urgent.
Song Tangning will enter his house sooner or later, and he will explain to her properly then.
It's just that this girl has a bad temper. She must be disciplined after entering the palace in the future. Women should be docile and humble.
…
"What a dirty guy, he dares to covet a girl!"
After Hua Wu watched the fourth prince leave, he couldn't help but stepped forward and cursed in a low voice.
Tang Ning also had a bad look on her face. She really didn't expect that the fourth prince would actually have his thoughts on her. Although she had known that he was not a good person, the sticky eyes of the fourth prince just now seemed to have set her sights on him. His "things" made her sick and panicked.
Tang Ning turned to look at the person hiding not far away: "Cang Lang."
"Girl?"
"Go and teach the Fourth Prince a lesson."
Cang Lang's eyes suddenly lit up. He had long wanted to deal with the fourth prince's nonsense, but he actually wanted to poach his governor. When he was thinking about how to kill him, he heard Tang Ning say: "Don't kill him." , just teach him a lesson so that he can’t get out of bed for seven or eight days.”
Canglang regrets.
The girl is still soft-hearted. If she wants to be replaced by the governor, stop breaking his three legs...
Tang Ning didn't know what he was thinking, so he just mused: "The fourth prince bumped into the Erlang of the Lu family when he came here today, and he also had a conflict with him because of the incident with Lu Qin. The Erlang of the Lu family left Jiuyun Lane first. If What happened to the Fourth Prince..."
Cang Lang understood: "The Lu family has always been cruel and ruthless. Since the father of the second son of the Lu family was exiled, he has long harbored grudges. He was also angered by the fourth prince, so it is normal to vent his anger towards him."
Tang Ning's lips curved slightly: "Do it more cleanly, so as not to make the queen suspicious."
Cang Lang smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, I'll go right away."
After Canglang left, Tang Ning turned around and said, "Don't tell brother what happened just now."
Hua Wu whispered: "Why? The governor loves heavy girls and is reluctant to let you suffer any injustice. If he knew the fourth prince's thoughts, he would definitely not be able to spare him..."
Tang Ning said: "It's just because my brother is protecting his shortcomings that I don't tell him that he has something important to do this time. Don't let him be distracted by such a trivial matter."
The fourth prince was just a paper tiger without claws, stupid, poisonous and without a brain. She could still handle it, so there was no need for Xiao Yan to be distracted by such trivial matters before leaving the capital.
"Canglang has already gone to teach the Fourth Prince a lesson, don't tell Brother."
Hua Wu nodded: "I understand."
