Chapter 133 My Brother is Unparalleled in His Handsomeness
The carriages in front of the Lu family's gate gradually dispersed, and after the court officials left, only Wen Xinhou remained in front of the Lu family's gate: "Master Xiao, where should these books be sent?"
"Send it to Jiyun Lane first, please trouble my lord."
Marquis Wenxin laughed and said, "What kind of trouble is this? If good things like this happen every day, I would be happy to be the governor's vanguard." As long as he could embarrass the aristocratic family, he would be happy to serve as a servant.
Xiao Yan sneered when he heard this, but the Lu family understood the meaning of his words and glared at him.
Marquis Wenxin, this warrior! !
How dare you mock them?!
Marquis Wenxin didn't care about the Lu family's anger at all. While he was busy fighting on the battlefield, these Lu family members were still in their nests, pampered and incorruptible, and would feel pain if a piece of skin fell off.
He just laughed and said, "Alright, I'll take people to Jiyun Lane. If Yiyang County Lady is free in the future, you can come to the mansion to visit your aunt."
Song Tangning chuckled: "Okay."
Wen Xinhou turned his head and said, "You guys, escort the car and go. Be careful on the road and don't damage the books in the box."
"Yes, my lord."
The people from the Beijing Patrol Camp drove the carriages forward, and Canglang waved to the Black Armored Guards to drive the remaining carriages to follow.
Xiao Yan turned to Tang Ning and said, "Marquis Wenxin and I will return to the palace first. You and Miss Qian should go and look at the area designated by the academy and see where the mountain gate is built. If you have any other ideas after seeing it, please write them down and I will have someone pass them on to the people in the Beijing Construction Office."
Song Tangning nodded: "I understand, brother. Your injury hasn't healed yet, go back and rest."
Xiao Yan laughed, "I understand." He said to Hang Li standing beside him, "Take good care of the girl and don't let anyone bump into her."
"Yes, Lord Governor."
After Xiao Yan gave the instructions, he turned around and left.
Seeing Xiao Yan getting on the carriage, the carriages that occupied the entire street in front of the Lu family's gate, carrying the fully loaded boxes, gradually moved away like a long dragon. The eyes of the Lu family members who felt heartbroken were a little red, and when they looked at Song Tangning who had not left yet, they looked at him as if he were the murderer of their father.
Lu Qin snorted bitterly and said, "There's still a long way to go. Princess Yiyang, please take good care of yourself."
Song Tangning smiled faintly, "Not as good as Lu Zhongshu. I just saw him in the courtyard, looking pale and unsteady. Little Master Lu should take good care of me. After all, I'm still young and have a long life ahead of me. But Lu Zhongshu really needs to be taken care of, lest anything happens and Little Master Lu would be sad."
Lu Qin hadn't expected this little girl to be so vicious. She actually cursed Lu Chongyuan. With murderous intent in his eyes, he angrily said, "Song Tangning, do you really think you can do whatever you want just because Xiao Yan is protecting you?"
"That Xiao Yan is a rootless wretch. He climbed to his high position by stepping on the corpses of countless others over the years. You are nothing more than a thing he can use. When you are no longer of use to him, I will wait and see what happens to you!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Qiyue immediately yelled in anger, "How can you talk like that?"
"I'm just telling the truth." Lu Qin sneered, his eyes piercing with coldness. "Everyone in the capital knows that Xiao Yan personally killed his closest relatives. A vicious and cruel eunuch with no relatives, and the Yiyang County Master dared to associate with him, ha!"
"If the Princess of Yiyang County is abandoned by Xiao in the future, don't beg my Lu family for help."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Song Tangning to speak, he sneered sarcastically, turned around and went back to the house and slammed the door.
"Bah, who asked you to?!"
Qian Qiyue was furious at Lu Qin's words and rushed forward to kick the door, but Song Tangning held her back tightly and prevented her from succeeding. However, she cursed in dissatisfaction:
"Who the hell do you think your Lu family is? You're in the wrong, yet you still have the nerve to curse Tang Ning? You think your family is superior, but this is the upbringing of a century-old family?!"
As she spoke, she cursed towards the door, "If you dare come out, I'll tear your mouth off!"
Many people around looked over here and saw Qian Qiyue was furious, with anger in her eyes.
Although Song Tangning was also annoyed by Lu Qin's words, he didn't want others to watch the fun.
She dragged Qian Qiyue back to her own carriage, and said to the extremely angry Qian Qiyue, "The Lu family has always been like this. Sister Yue, don't pay any attention to them."
"Why are you ignoring them? What right do they have to say that to you?" Qian Qiyue glared, "You're just trying to bully me!"
If it were her, she would definitely not give Hua Lu’s family a hard time!
Song Tangning was still angry just now, but after hearing Qian Qiyue's words, he couldn't help laughing: "How can I be bullied? Sister Yue didn't see the faces of those people in the Lu family. I have lost all my face in this life today."
"But that Lu Qin just now actually dared to say that to you..."
"Just say it. Everyone has a good tongue."
The Lu family was already a laughing stock today. If Lu Qin had just admitted his mistake and saved face, others would have looked up to the Lu family. But the way he acted, avoiding his brother and only making things difficult for the two little girls, would only make people think that the Lu family was not presentable.
Song Tangning patiently comforted Qian Qiyue, "I've obtained so many books today, and I've hurt the Lu family so much. They'll just say a few words and show off their strength. Why should we bother with them?"
Qian Qiyue thought of the piles of books that had been taken away earlier, and the distressed, livid faces of the Lu family, who looked as if their skin had been peeled off. She finally felt a little better. "They deserved it. Half of the books were exchanged for An Ning. It was really a bargain for them."
She recalled the look in Lu Qin's eyes when he left, and still felt a little worried. She pulled Song Tangning and said, "I think Lu Qin is not a good person. Besides, I've heard from my father in the past that he doesn't follow the rules. My father said that he is an outlier in the entire Lu family. He does things by any means necessary and is very vicious."
"People who have offended him in the past have always gotten into trouble, but he's always been so clean that no one can catch him. You'd better be careful with him in the future. I think he probably hates you, so be careful that he doesn't use those dirty tricks to harm you."
Qian Qiyue looked at the well-behaved Song Tangning and sighed, "But you don't have to be too scared. Governor Xiao is here to protect you. And don't listen to the Lu family's nonsense. That Lu Qin is a useless piece of shit. He's afraid to provoke Governor Xiao, so he's trying to sow discord between you. It's obvious he has bad intentions."
"Eunuchs are also human beings, and Lord Xiao is so handsome. Don't let anyone instigate a rift between you and him. That would only make his loved ones sad and his enemies happy."
Song Tangning blinked. It was the first time she heard someone praise Xiao Yan. She didn't listen to much of the other words, but it was the word "handsome" that made her unable to help but ask, "Sister Yue, do you think my brother is handsome?"
"Of course!"
Qian Qiyue looked at Song Tangning in shock: "You don't feel anything, do you?"
"Let me tell you, there are many young masters from aristocratic families in the capital, but in terms of appearance alone, there are few who can surpass your brother. Moreover, he is so powerful that even my father is afraid of him. The young master of Yutai and the third son of the Lu family are not even worthy of mentioning shoes in front of Governor Xiao."
Although she didn't interact much with those young ladies, she still knew the topics that were circulating among them.
There are a number of handsome young men in the capital, and Xiao Yan is one of them, if not for the fact that he is a eunuch and is too "notorious".
With his face, figure, and aura, there are countless girls who covet Mrs. Xiao's position.
As Qian Qiyue spoke, she thought of Xiao Yan's handsome face and couldn't help swallowing:
"I'm telling you, don't be so ungrateful. As for Governor Xiao's face, to put it politely, it's so beautiful that one look at it more than once would make you eat a bowl of rice without vegetables. If you look at it every day and don't gain weight, then it's your fault!"
Qian Qiyue was talking so excitedly that her almond-shaped eyes were full of indignation. She looked at Song Tangning with envy, as if she wished she could take his place.
“Puff——”
Song Tangning was so amused by her words that he leaned on her shoulder and laughed: "How can it be as amazing as you say?"
Qian Qiyue turned her head and glared at her: "Honestly, how dare you say he's not handsome? Have you ever seen anyone better looking than him in this whole capital?"
Just one more look at that face can prolong your life!!
Song Tangning laughed even harder, and her cheeks turned red because of her laughter.
She leaned on Qian Qiyue's shoulder, reached out to touch the dragon-patterned pendant hanging around her neck, and thought of Xiao Yan's usual coldness and indifference towards others, and how he whispered "Little Begonia" and was full of tolerance and tenderness towards her. Ripples flickered in her beautiful almond eyes.
Brother, he is... quite handsome.
He was more handsome than Lu Zhinian, Song Jinxiu, Xie Yin, and even any other man she had ever seen.
Even though he looked ferocious and cold when we first met, with a murderous look between his clear brows, his brow peaks were like clear streams in the mountains, jade falling in the snow, and his features were stern under his cold white skin, with a kind of unfathomable handsomeness shrouded in mist and clouds.
If she hadn't nearly lost her life that day, and if the horror of her previous life hadn't made her afraid to even glance at him, she would have been mesmerized by that face at the first glimpse...
“!!”
Song Tangning's mind suddenly jumped, and he suddenly realized that he had no idea where he was going. He blushed and patted himself lightly.
That's her brother, what are you imagining!
Qian Qiyue didn't notice her cheeks flushed, and just kept on rambling, "So don't listen to the Lu family's nonsense. Such a handsome brother, it would be a pleasure to look at him a few more times every day. What's more, he only has you as his sister. He's not like some people who have sisters on every side, and their minds are all biased. It's disgusting to see them."
After the Song family was imprisoned, Song Tangning never thought about Song Jinxiu again. When she heard the news now, she was stunned for a moment before she realized who Qian Qiyue was talking about.
Song Tangning's smile faded a little, and when he mentioned Song Jinxiu, he said coldly: "How can he compare with my brother?"
Qian Qiyue was curious when she heard this: "How's the trial of the Song family case going?"
"It should be about the same."
Song Tangning said calmly that the matter between Song Hong and Xu Zhen could not withstand investigation, and Song Shulan's identity had already been thoroughly investigated by Gu Helian. With Xiao Yan's men chasing clues, and the interrogation methods of the Criminal Department, the Song family's affairs had long been exposed.
Originally, Song Hong's matter was not a big deal, but he happened to be in the right place, and the matter involved aristocratic families. The Song family's past closeness with the Lu family became their death warrant.
According to what my brother said, Emperor An intends to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Song Hong will most likely die. Although the other members of the Song family may not be implicated, the title and wealth of the Duke of Song's Mansion will definitely be gone. Even if the other members of the Song family can survive, they will not be able to live comfortably in the future.
The Duke of Song’s Mansion was completely finished.
Song Tangning picked up what he could say and told Qian Qiyue a few things. Qian Qiyue curled her lips and said, "It's what she deserves. It's just right. Aren't they worried about that illegitimate daughter? Now that you're not disturbing them, they can be reunited as a family. You can be more worried about her in the future."
Song Tangning laughed when he heard this. He was afraid that with the temperament of those people in the Song family, they would hate Song Shulan to death, so how could they feel sorry for her?
As for Song Jinxiu, he harmed her all her life.
Now she has returned it to him, and what happens to Song Jinxiu in the future has nothing to do with her.
…
The carriage wobbled as it moved towards the south of the city, while Song Tangning and Qian Qiyue chatted casually about things in the capital.
Qian Qiyue is well versed in the gossips of various mansions in the capital, and is familiar with all kinds of inside information, from which mansion in the capital has concubines and is hiding secrets, to the dirty deeds of those usually glamorous young men and women from aristocratic families in private, as well as some unexpected jokes.
Song Tangning was stunned from time to time, shocked from time to time, and occasionally laughed.
Hang Li rode his horse, listening to the faint chatter drifting out of the carriage from time to time. He heard the young lady from the Qian family telling her daughter that the youngest son of the Minister of Personnel was a traitor. He had visited a men's brothel and was beaten by his father, leaving him naked. Later, he accidentally fell into the lotus pond. I heard that when he was fished out, there were still two fish hanging from his buttocks. Even in front...
"You don't know, he..."
"Really? Oh my god..."
"Really, really, I tell you, many people saw it at the time..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The giggling sounds of the two girls in the carriage could be heard. Seeing that they were talking more and more deeply, veins popped on Hang Li's forehead. He felt that if the governor knew what Miss Qian had said to the girl, he would be skinned alive.
"Girl, we're in the south of the city."
Hang Li rode his horse close to the carriage and suddenly interrupted the voice inside.
Qian Qiyue, who was speaking happily, suddenly fell silent. After hearing Song Tangning open the door to the new world, she remembered that there were other people outside. She didn't know how much Hang Li had heard. Her cheeks flushed instantly. She coughed lightly and said to the outside, "Guard Hang, has A Ru gone in?"
Hang Li said, "After the young lady gave the order, someone was sent to pick her up. I think she has arrived."
Jiyun Lane is in the south of the city. Song Ru went to the same "academy" in the south of the city, so naturally she was faster than them who came from the Lu family.
Song Tangning also realized that his question, which was meant to change the subject, was a bit awkward, so he quickly shut up and said, "Then hurry over, so that A'ru won't have to wait too long."
After Hang Li responded from outside, the carriage moved faster.
Qian Qiyue leaned against the car wall and realized what was happening. She thought that the guard must have heard something and that was why he suddenly spoke. Even though her own father praised her for being as thick-skinned as a city wall, Qian Qiyue couldn't help but feel a little hot on her face. After coughing, she smiled at Song Tangning, who also had a red face.
Song Tangning was also amused by her and started laughing, and soon the two of them were laughing together.
