Chapter 161 Little girl, be more delicate
When we came out of Gu's house, the rain was getting heavier. The heavy rain hit the ground and everyone's clothes were wet.
When Tang Ning got into the car holding her long skirt, Xiao Yan stretched out his arm and stood beside her. She was stunned for a moment, and saw him holding an umbrella with one hand and leaning sideways to shield her from the wind and rain outside. His voice was a little vague through the rain.
"What are you staring at?"
"without…"
Tang Ning hurriedly supported him by the arm and got on the carriage. Seeing the heavy rain rustling the treetops beside the road, he hurriedly called out, "Brother, get in quickly."
The umbrella was put away, and Xiao Yan was soaked when he got into the car. His sleeves were mostly wet from the rain, and his jade-like face was covered with mist like a mountain top after the rain. Water droplets rolled down his face and all the way to his collar.
Tang Ning took a look and inexplicably remembered what Qian Qiyue had said in front of her before, "Governor Xiao is a beauty that is a feast for the eyes."
She coughed softly, subconsciously avoiding her eyes, and took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Yan: "Brother, it's all wet, wipe it quickly."
Xiao Yan sniffed the fragrant silk handkerchief handed to him. Seeing the little girl's eyelashes tremble slightly, he chuckled softly, tilted his chin, and turned away his collar: "Let's not go back to Jiyun Lane yet."
"Ah?" Tang Ning looked up.
Xiao Yan took the handkerchief and wiped the water stains from her temples. "Gu Helian will definitely argue with your aunt when she leaves. If she can't win the argument, she'll definitely take it out on you and me. Didn't you say before that the snacks at Xijue Tower are delicious? Go buy some and we'll go visit the Qian family."
Qian Qiyue used her innocence to fool Minister Qian and asked him to stand up for Xiao Haitang. The Qian family is now in the same boat with them, so the relationship must be maintained. Besides, it is rare for his little girl to meet such a congenial girl. Miss Qian is also sincere, so it is a good thing to visit her more often.
Song Tangning slapped his forehead: "Oh, Sister Ayue!"
hiss--
As soon as she jumped up, she gasped in pain and fell back with her arm stiff. Xiao Yanchang stretched out his hand to support her, and she narrowly avoided hitting the car wall behind her.
Xiao Yan brought the person over and said, "Your shoulder is injured, why are you moving around so recklessly?"
Song Tangning covered her shoulder and said, "It just hurts when I pulled it." Seeing his frown and unhappy expression, she murmured softly, "It only hurts a little bit."
The little girl pinched her fingertips to strongly prove that what she said was true.
"The wound medicine that Sister Qin left behind is very effective. Just apply it on my wound tonight and it will be fine. Besides, my brother helped me with bleeding before. I checked it before and it's not swollen much anymore..."
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a weight on her shoulders.
"Brother?"
Just as Tang Ning was about to turn his head, someone pinched his neck lightly and turned his head back.
She couldn't see what was happening behind her and could only glimpse it from the corner of her eye. Xiao Yan reached out and lifted the black hair from her shoulders. His thin, white fingers landed on the back of her shoulders, and the warmth of his palm gently massaged her shoulders through her clothes.
Seeing her hiss and shrink her neck, he said, "Doesn't it hurt?"
My hands felt lighter.
"Since you said it hurt, I won't let you come."
Tang Ning was full of embarrassment: "I'm not that delicate."
"Little girl, be more delicate."
It seemed that his mood had changed. Even the ordinary words he said in the past sounded like he was holding a person on the tip of his tongue, bringing with them an inexplicable heart-throbbing throbbing.
Tang Ning muttered softly: "I'm not a child. My brother is also injured."
The tender skin on her neck was pinched, and the stubborn girl suddenly became like a cat being scratched by the scruff of the neck. Her voice weakened and she quickly begged for mercy, "I was wrong, I was wrong."
Xiao Yan pinched the back of her neck before letting go. "I'm different from you. I've gotten used to getting hurt over the years, so a few scars on my body aren't a big deal. If you're not afraid of looking ugly in the future, just follow my lead."
In the end, heartache prevailed, and after giving Governor Xiao a lesson, his tone softened.
"If the pain is still severe later, ask someone to ask Madam Qin to come and get you. Don't try to be stubborn."
Tang Ning's ears were burning with anxiety. He felt that even when his mother was around, his brother was not as nagging as he was.
Xiao Yan patted her head: "Did you hear that?"
Tang Ning quickly uttered an "Oh" and said, "I heard it."
Seeing her mumbling, Xiao Yan rubbed her hair helplessly before continuing to massage her shoulders: "Where else does it hurt?"
The little girl murmured, but when she heard it, she leaned sideways and said, "Left."
Outside, there was a storm. Canglang squatted on the shaft of the cart, holding his precious sword, while listening to the gentle voice of his own commander inside, which was so gentle that it could squeeze out water, his face changing constantly.
He turned his head to look at Jinyun and said silently: The governor and the girl?
Jinyun gave him a look that showed he had figured it out, and pulled the reins to make the carriage go more steadily, so as not to disturb his master who was "growing flowers".
Canglang: ...
It was like a bolt from the blue.
Thunder and lightning.
Thinking of what he had said in front of the governor before, saying that the young master of the Fu family and the young lady Song were a good match, he felt that he might not survive the night.
Canglang silently hugged his precious sword and kicked Jinyun.
Jinyun stumbled: "What?"
Cang Lang glared at him and lowered his voice: "You have no conscience, don't you? I saved you before."
Jinyun rolled his eyes: "I didn't stop you?"
Cang Lang: “…”
He is so miserable.
…
The two people in the carriage were completely unaware of what was happening outside. Tang Ning squatted in front of Xiao Yan and said, "When my brother mentioned the Qian family's affairs earlier, I was worried about Sister Yue. Later, I ran around and forgot about it. Sister Yue fooled Minister Qian and others like this and brought the Qian family into this. Will Minister Qian punish her?"
Xiao Yan laughed: "There will definitely be a punishment, but I don't think it will be too severe."
The Qian family dotes on their daughter, and they really dote on her.
Tang Ning said, "Then let's go over there quickly."
Xiao Yan did not refute, but just gave an order outside, and the carriage headed towards Xijue Tower.
The rain rustled, the curtains swaying in the wind. Tang Ning's shoulder wound wasn't serious; it healed after Xiao Yan pushed the bruise away. With her back to him, she couldn't see him clearly. She only remembered what Gu Helian had said earlier and asked, "Brother, who do you think was the one who framed my uncle?"
Xiao Yan said, "What do you think?"
Song Tangning hesitated a little: "Those princes' wives?"
When they learned that Prince Cheng's three marriage proposals had been sabotaged, they had guessed that the person who did it was most likely someone who loved Prince Cheng. This person was able to do it in the royal hunting ground and make Prince Cheng helpless, and even avoided the pursuit of the Rong family and Gu Helian. She had done it several times in a row with extremely clean results, so her status could not be too low.
Not many people would know that on the day when Princess Cheng and Prince Cheng got engaged, Gu Helian was provoked and drunk by someone. That person was able to drug Princess Cheng so perfectly, and he also knew Gu Helian's temperament well, and was sure that he would break into Princess Cheng's boudoir after being provoked. He also calculated the time so perfectly that it was witnessed by several princes' wives who came to send congratulations, and made a big deal out of the matter.
She must be very familiar with the Rong family, and it is even very likely that she is on good terms with the Rong family or Princess Cheng.
