Song Nanzhou swirled his wine glass, showing no sign of softening, and instead gave a cold snort:

"Third Uncle is quite the schemer."

Scheme?

Tang Li subconsciously stopped eating, and even the act of swallowing food became extremely slow and careful, for fear of disturbing Song Nanzhou.

"He was certain that I, being blind, would consider the blood ties of the Song family and wouldn't show the things he gave me to others beforehand, which is why he dared to entrust them to me with peace of mind, right?"

The implication was that he was deceiving me into believing I was blind.

Song Beiye hurriedly explained:

"In the latter half of his life, he was indeed eager for quick success and instant benefits and wanted to seize power, but in his heart, he still cared about you three brothers."

Speaking of brothers.

Song Nanzhou was even angrier:

"My third uncle only knows that my eldest brother can tolerate everything else, but he can't stand my third uncle bullying me. If he knew that my third uncle was scheming against me like this, he would definitely make sure that my third brother never left in peace. My third brother is young, has a quick temper, and can't keep his mouth shut. If I showed it to him, before my third uncle even passes away, the things my third uncle entrusted to me will be known to everyone."

Perhaps knowing that Song Nanzhou was always thoughtful in his actions, Song Boying dared to let Song Beiye make the suggestion.

Tang Li could sense Song Nanzhou's helplessness.

People who are too sensible often have no choice but to swallow their pride and suffer in silence.

Having said all that, Song Beiye knew there was no way to persuade him and didn't want to make things difficult for Song Nanzhou.

He came here to fulfill his filial duty as a son.

But he would never force his brother to do something he didn't want to do just because of blind filial piety.

Just as Song Beiye was about to give up, Song Nanzhou suddenly changed his mind:

"My flight is early tomorrow morning. Bring my things over and I can take them with me, but there's no need to see me. I'm blind anyway, so it's pointless for me to see you."

Um.

It actually rhymes quite well.

Tang Li immediately acted out of his professional habit and silently agreed in his mind.

Seeing this, Song Beiye raised his cup:

"Brother, thank you."

Song Nanzhou raised his hand:

"There's no need for that. I'm keeping his things safe not because of you, nor to give face to my third uncle."

"Then why?"

Song Beiye asked impatiently.

After all, Song Nanzhou never forces anyone to do anything against their will, and he would never do anything that would put himself in a difficult position.

After several years away, it's hard to tell whether the world changed him or the responsibility of supporting a family after becoming independent changed him.

He's not as tough as he used to be.

Song Nanzhou did not answer, but instead turned away the guest:

"The matter is settled, you can leave now."

Looking at his brother who showed him no mercy, and then at Tang Li, Song Beiye had no choice but to get up.

"See you tomorrow."

After saying that, he reached out to grab Tang Li again:

"Lili, come out here for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Tang Li was about to get up when Song Nanzhou pressed him down:

“She’s not leaving tomorrow, so you have time to talk to her slowly. Right now, I just want to have a nice meal with her.”

That means, get out of here and stop bothering us.

The only person in the world who can suppress Song Beiye is Song Nanzhou.

Song Beiye dared not press the matter further, only saying that he would contact him tomorrow before quietly leaving.

Only Tang Li and Song Nanzhou remained in the room. Apart from the sound of the night wind rustling against the windowsill, the room was eerily quiet. After a long while, Song Nanzhou finally exclaimed:

"This dish tastes good."

Tang Li replied out of the blue:

"It was Huo Chenyu who ordered it."

Then, realizing something was amiss, he added:

"These are the dishes for the Song family's banquet tonight."

well.

After saying those two sentences, Tang Li was so embarrassed that she blushed. Luckily, Song Nanzhou couldn't see it. She quickly composed herself and asked proactively:

"You knew your third uncle was bullying people, so why did you agree to keep his things safe?"

Song Nanzhou also did not answer, but asked Tang Li another question:

"When does Miss Tang plan to return to Tanzhou?"

He was referring to Tanzhou!

But in reality, she and Huo Chenyu had already divorced and broken up, so Tanzhou no longer held much meaning for her.

But he was certain that Tang Li would return to Tanzhou.

Tang Li realized something was wrong, but didn't think much of it.

"The original plan was to go back tomorrow like you, but plans can't keep up with changes, and I may have to stay in Lucheng for a few more days."

Song Nanzhou chuckled:

"Are you staying to take care of Shen Yu?"

Tang Li flicked his bangs:

“With Jiang Mian gone, he’ll probably be bedridden for three or four days with all these injuries. After all, we’re husband and wife, and I can’t just stand by and watch him die.”

Song Nanzhou exposed her:

"In the end, you still have feelings for him."

Tang Li smiled awkwardly and picked up some food for him.

"Eat quickly, or it will get cold and affect the taste."

Song Nanzhou said as he ate:

“Miss Tang, I don’t want to lie to you. I’m mostly responsible for the fact that Shen Yu was beaten. I thought it was rare for you to get together, so I tricked Huo Shen Yu in front of Lu Zhu, which is why he was beaten so badly.”

If Song Nanzhou is to bear the majority of the responsibility...

Tang Li also said honestly:

"The other half of the responsibility should be borne by me. I tricked him into going down there, but I didn't expect him to be so weak."

Hearing Tang Li's words, Song Nanzhou raised his cup:

"Come on, Miss Tang, let's clink glasses to celebrate how fortunate I am to have a lover and confidant like you by my side."

Huo Chenyu: Thank you so much.

Huo Chenyu, who was lying in bed with his thoughts racing, sneezed twice.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Tang Li raised his cup:

"Lovers may part, but true friends remain. This toast is for you both."
