Chapter 136 The Love Rival Arrives: Future "Brother-in-law"
"you!!"
Lu Zhinian's face instantly turned ferocious, and he glared at Fu Laiqing: "How dare you covet Tang Ning?!"
"Bah! What do you mean by coveting? This is what I call legitimate pursuit! Who is like you, having your cake and eating it too? You're having affairs with other women, losing the one who was devoted to you, and now you want to take advantage of Miss Song's return. How shameless!"
Fu Laiqing spat with disdain. He wanted to shout loudly so that people could see Lu Zhinian's true face, but he was afraid that his voice would be too loud and cause trouble for Song Tangning.
Seeing someone in the enclosure coming over after seeing the excitement, he could only lower his voice and sneer, "Do you think you'd be worthy of Miss Song if it weren't for that lousy engagement? If you weren't from the Lu family, you wouldn't even be as good as that bastard Song Jinxiu."
"Lu Zhinian, your Lu family has lost all face because of you. We finally gave up half of our wealth to save some of it, but you destroyed it all. If I were you, I would immediately go back to the Lu family and think carefully about how you are going to explain today's incident to the Lu family. Don't stay here and embarrass yourself!"
The sound of horse hooves could be heard behind him. Fu Laiqing turned around and saw that the carriage from the Tang Mansion had already gone far away. He was too lazy to say more to Lu Zhinian. He quickly said "Puh" and hurried out to get on his horse and follow.
Lu Zhinian staggered and stood there, his face pale as he watched the carriage going further and further away. Even though he was covered in blood, the people in the carriage did not look back at all.
It was almost summer, but he felt cold.
After getting away from Song Tangning, the headache that seemed to tear him apart came back again, and this time it was more painful than the previous times.
Beside him was a Lu family servant who had fainted. More and more people gathered in the inner room. Lu Zhinian's face was pale, he covered his throbbing eyebrows in pain, and murmured softly:
"It shouldn't be like this..."
That's not the case.
Tang Ning obviously loved him so much, she obviously loved him so much.
It shouldn't be like this...
…
Hang Li carried Song Ru back to the mansion. Song Tangning and Qian Qiyue were also covered in blood and looked miserable. Xiao Yan, who was discussing state affairs with Marquis Wenxin in the Xiao Mansion next door, changed his face drastically when he heard the words. He stood up in a hurry and hurried into the Tang Mansion. His steps were more hurried than ever before.
"Master..."
"Where's Tang Ning?" Xiao Yan's eyes were full of cruelty.
Hua Wu, who was watching nearby, said quickly, "The girl is fine, she was just frightened. Miss Qian is also safe, but Miss Ru was injured. Guard Hang brought her back and sent for Miss Qin, who is currently watching inside."
Princess Cheng was pregnant, so they didn't dare to disturb her and only placed her in a room in the side yard. There was a screen in front of the door, and the curtain was drawn so that they could only vaguely hear the voice of a woman talking inside, and occasionally there was also faint sobbing.
Even though he knew Tang Ning was fine and could tell that the crying did not belong to Song Tang Ning, the frost on Xiao Yan's face remained unchanged. Instead, the crying made him look even more murderous, and his sword-like eyes were bloodthirsty and captivating.
Marquis Wenxin, who had followed, saw that Xiao Yan looked uneasy and quickly asked, "What's going on? Who dares to hurt the Princess of Yiyang under the Emperor's feet?"
"It's from the Lu family."
Hang Li's hands were stained with blood, which had come from the hem of Song Ru's skirt when he was holding her.
He didn't know how badly the little girl was injured, nor where she was hurt. He only remembered that when he brought her back, the light and pale person seemed to have no weight, biting her lips tightly and pulling his hand hard on his clothes while enduring the pain.
Hang Li knelt on the ground with a thud. "It's my fault. I was careless for a moment, thinking I would be safe in the area fenced off by the Beijing Construction Department. As a result, I let Lu Zhinian get close to the girl, and even had his servants hurt Madam Ru. I beg the governor to punish me."
Xiao Yan's eyes became fierce.
Fu Laiqing, who had followed, quickly spoke up: "Master Xiao, this isn't the guard's fault. It's really that Lu Zhinian is shameless and harassed Miss Song."
Xiao Yan only then noticed the unsightly object in the yard after hearing the sound. He raised his eyes expressionlessly and asked, "Why are you here?"
Fu Laiqing's scalp tightened. This was his future "brother-in-law" and he couldn't afford to offend him. "Replying to Governor Xiao, I just passed by the south of the city and happened to see the Lu family committing a crime..."
"The Fu family is in the west of the city."
Fu Laiqing's face suddenly froze. Just as he was about to say that he was with Cao Dejiang, Xiao Yan interrupted him.
"The Cao family lives in the east of the city, and they don't go through the south to go to the palace on duty. Where did Mr. Fu go?"
Fu Laiqing: "..."
Seeing Xiao Yan's eyes getting colder, he always felt as if he was seen through, as if his attempt to take advantage of someone else's cabbage would be interrupted by the other person's brother in the next moment.
Fortunately, Song Tangning happened to come out at this time. When he saw Xiao Yan, his eyes were red and he said, "Brother, Master Fu just helped us."
Xiao Yan turned his head and glanced quickly at Song Tangning. Seeing that her hair was slightly disheveled and there was blood on her face, he walked over and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
Song Tangning shook his head: "No."
Seeing that she refused to speak, Xiao Yan's eyes darkened. He only looked up at Qian Qiyue, who limped out behind Song Tangning. "How did Lu Zhinian hurt Tangning?"
Qian Qiyue was already furious. Her arms and legs were covered in scrapes from the earlier shoving. When she heard Xiao Yan's question, she couldn't help but curse, "Lu Zhinian, that shameless man, came to harass Tang Ning and even touched her and treated her with disrespect. If A Ru hadn't tried desperately to stop him, Tang Ning's reputation would have been ruined by him!!"
Marquis Wenxin was shocked when he heard this: "How dare he?"
"Why wouldn't he dare? He's just a lunatic who doesn't understand what people say. He keeps saying he was wrong and asking Tang Ning to forgive him. But when Tang Ning refuses, he keeps grabbing her and won't let her go..."
After all, because of the presence of Marquis Wenxin and other servants around, Qian Qiyue did not dare to tell others that Lu Zhinian hugged Tang Ning and almost kissed her.
But even so, whenever she thought about how that bastard almost molested Tang Ning, she would be particularly angry:
"It's fine if he's just being persistent, but that Lu family servant actually attacked us girls. If I hadn't brought any guards with me, I would have smashed his face in!"
Fu Laiqing also said, "The Lu family man did fight. I saw it with my own eyes. He even wanted to hurt Miss Song. If this guard hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to stop him." He quietly took credit for his achievement without revealing himself too much.
Tang Ning recalled that Fu Laiqing had indeed stood in front of them. She said, "Mr. Fu also blocked the Lu family for us."
Fu Laiqing quickly whispered, "Miss Song, you don't have to be polite. It's all my fault for being late. Otherwise, Lu Zhinian wouldn't have hurt you."
Tang Ning shook his head: "I am very grateful that you can help me."
Fu Laiqing's cheeks flushed slightly when he heard this: "How is that young lady? Is she seriously injured?"
"Fortunately, no vital injuries were sustained."
"That's good."
Xiao Yan stood aside and watched Song Tangning talking softly to Fu Laiqing. Fu Laiqing's face turned red and he couldn't hide his thoughts. His brows wrinkled a little and he felt unhappy.
This kid from the Fu family is way too frivolous. Why does he blush so often?!
