Chapter 121 Be good, brother loves you
When Song Jinxiu looked at Lu Zhinian opposite him, it was as if he saw his past self.
There was clearly a chance to salvage the relationship at the beginning, and Tang Ning clearly didn't try to kill him as soon as she came back. She had clearly told him so clearly at that time that all she wanted was a sincere apology.
But he was always self-righteous, thinking that the little girl was just joking and angry, and that she was willful and easy to coax. He never thought about how much grievance Tang Ning had suffered, but always thought that if he just said "I'm sorry", she would open her heart and forgive him.
He protected Song Shulan and his own face, thinking that since he was her brother, Tang Ning should unconditionally forgive him for anything and would never become estranged from her. However, he ended up exhausting the last bit of affection and put himself and the Song family into a desperate situation.
Song Jinxiu raised his lips and smiled sarcastically, let go of Song Shulan's slender neck, sat down against the prison door and said nothing more.
Lu Zhinian only felt that his laughter was irritating: "What are you laughing at?"
There was no response from the other side.
Lu Zhinian's heart was beating uncomfortably. Through the cell door, he could almost see the sneer on Song Jinxiu's face: "I asked you what you're laughing at, Song Jinxiu, say something..."
"What are you arguing about? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Someone suddenly came in from outside and swung the whip in his hand towards the prison door. Lu Zhinian was unable to avoid it and was hit on the side of his face. He screamed in pain and staggered backwards to the ground.
The man who came in glanced at Song Jinxiu and the others, raised his hand, took back the whip and wrapped it around his wrist.
"Captain Wu, how could you hit someone..."
"The Imperial Prison was clamorous, so I'm being merciful by not cutting off your tongue. If you have any objections, have your master raise them with my Lord Governor!"
The Lu family's servant had an extremely ugly expression on his face, but he could only endure it in front of the black-armored guards with ferocious faces. He was afraid that after finally coming in to pick up Sanlang, he would anger the people in the Privy Council and cause trouble later.
The man who spoke was the one who had captured Lu Zhinian that day. His name was Wu Kui. Seeing that the Lu family didn't say anything else, he snorted coldly and knocked hard on the prison door with a whip.
"Lu Zhinian, you can go out now."
Inside, Lu Zhinian suddenly looked up, not caring about the pain on his face, and showed joy: "Can I go out?"
"Sanlang-kun..."
Lu Zhinian saw a familiar man standing in the backlight in front of the prison door, and his eyes instantly moistened: "Uncle Rong."
Lu Rong quickly turned his head and said, "Officer, this prison door..."
"Open it now."
The jailer who was following him received the order and hurried forward to open the chain hanging on the prison door. When the prison door was pushed open with a creak, Lu Rong hurried into the cell. "Sanlangjun, are you okay? Are you okay?"
Lu Zhinian's eyes suddenly turned red, with both the joy of surviving the ordeal and the grievance of being imprisoned in this prison for so many days: "Uncle Rong, where are my father and grandfather?"
Lu Rong paused as he recalled what happened in the mansion today, and whispered, "Master is waiting for you outside..."
"Then grandfather..."
"Are you done? If you want to reminisce, go outside!" Wu Kui saw the two people inside talking endlessly, knocked on the prison door impatiently and shouted with a frown.
Lu Zhinian wanted to get angry when he heard this, but Lu Rong grabbed his wrist.
"Sanlangjun, let's go out first."
After Lu Rong helped the injured Lu Zhinian out of the prison, before Lu Zhinian could turn around and say a few words to Song Jinxiu, Wu Kui, who was wearing armor, urged him impatiently, "Hurry up and leave. Don't delay anything."
"you……"
"Why, Lu Sanlang hasn't stayed long enough and wants to stay a few more days?"
Lu Zhinian had never been treated so lightly before, and he wanted to get angry when he heard this, but Lu Rong still stopped him and said in a deep voice: "Captain Wu, let's go now."
Seeing Lu Rong, who used to follow his father and never bow to anyone, enduring again and again, and even being so servile to a mere captain of the Black Armor Guards.
Lu Zhinian vaguely sensed something was wrong. After his original anger subsided a little, he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He stopped talking and just let Lu Rong support him as they walked out.
Wu Kui, who was following behind, cursed inwardly as a "coward" when he saw this. He had originally thought that if the third son of the Lu family dared to talk back, he could take the opportunity to whip him a few more times to vent the anger of the young lady of the governor's family. However, he did not expect that this young man from a noble family could actually tolerate such neglect and anger. The servant of the Lu family was also very shrewd. It was a pity.
The light in the imperial prison was dim. Wu Kui regretfully suppressed his arrogance and followed the master and servant of the Lu family out. When he reached the end of the corridor, he suddenly heard a "clang" behind him, as if something had hit the prison door.
He subconsciously looked back and saw Song Jinxiu in prison clothes leaning against the prison door, looking over here. He seemed to be holding something in his hand, vaguely like a woman's figure.
Wu Kui paused, sneered, and continued walking out.
At the end of the corridor, in the prison where Song Jinxiu was, Song Shulan was dragged tightly against the gap in the prison door, with her neck in Song Jinxiu's hands and strangled by him.
It was not until Lu Zhinian and the others disappeared that Song Jinxiu looked indifferently at Song Shulan, who was being grabbed by the neck and had her head rubbed against the wooden bars of the prison, drawing blood.
"Lu Zhinian is not a high-ranking official you can climb, and your tricks won't fool the Lu family. If you don't want to die an ugly death, just be quiet. Otherwise, if the Lu family targets you, nothing will be left of you. Do you understand?"
Song Shulan felt as if her throat was about to be strangled, and the extremely cold voice in her ears made her feel cold all over.
She was suffocating and had difficulty breathing in her throat. She opened her mouth and tried to breathe but couldn't. She could only grab Song Jinxiu's wrist tightly with her hand.
"Brother...I...I understand, brother...I...I dare not..."
Song Jinxiu's hand was bleeding from where she had gripped it, but it was as firm as an iron clamp and didn't move at all.
Seeing her face turn pale and then purple, as if she would suffocate at any time, he thought of the once glorious Duke's Mansion, Song Hong and others who were imprisoned in the heavy-duty prison, and Song Tangning who broke with them.
When Song Jinxiu clenched his fingers tightly, murderous intent filled his eyes. He knew that if he exerted a little force, he could break Song Shulan's neck, but after a moment, he still let go.
“Cough cough cough——”
Song Shulan stumbled and fell to the ground, doubled over and coughed violently. She clutched her neck and retreated into a corner in fear, her face as pale as paper. Song Jinxiu rubbed his hands on the ground and whispered, "Be good and don't cause trouble again. Brother loves you."
Song Shulan hugged her arms and shivered.
Song Jinxiu is crazy...
They are all crazy!!
It's obviously not like that, they clearly couldn't bear to treat her like this before...
Madman!!!
They are all crazy!!!
