Chapter 310 His head was twisted
Canglang hid in the dark holding a long sword, staring at the Fourth Prince with a fierce look, ready to chop off his claws if he did anything wrong. Even Hang Li and Hua Wu looked at the Fourth Prince in amazement.
This guy is too bold. He dares to covet their mistress. He must not want the other two legs, right?
If the governor knew about this, he would twist his head off.
Tang Ning never thought that the Fourth Prince would have such thoughts. Seeing him staring at her, she suppressed her disgust and her smile turned cold.
"No merit, no reward. The Fourth Prince should take back this precious treasure. I cannot accept it."
The Fourth Prince thought she was just embarrassed and said quickly, "How could it be in vain? Yesterday, the County Lady helped Governor Xiao teach the Lu family a lesson and avenged my downfall. She also took the trouble to give me advice just now. I am deeply grateful to the County Lady. Although this pearl is rare, I am willing to give it to the County Lady. I hope the County Lady will not refuse."
Tang Ning: “…”
Even more disgusting.
Seeing the Fourth Prince holding the pearl and looking at her expectantly, with the passion and ambiguity in his eyes almost unconcealable, Tang Ning took a half step back.
"I think the Fourth Prince has misunderstood."
"I took action against the Lu family to vent my anger. I've had a long-standing grudge against them, and everything I did had nothing to do with Your Highness. As for reminding Your Highness, it was simply because my brother was surrounded by wolves in the court. I didn't want my brother to be dragged down by the Fourth Prince's momentary confusion."
The little perfunctory gentleness left on her face disappeared completely, and she spoke without any mercy at all.
"I don't like pearls, and I don't like treasures that are delivered to my door for no reason. Please keep them, Fourth Prince."
The Fourth Prince's face froze. "The County Lady must have misunderstood. This pearl is just a thank you gift..."
"Whether I misunderstood or not is not important. What's important is that Your Highness doesn't misunderstand anything."
After the smile disappeared from Tang Ning's almond-shaped eyes, a sense of alienation inexplicably appeared.
"Tang Ning..."
"Your Highness, respect yourself."
Seeing that the Fourth Prince actually wanted to reach out and grab her, Tang Ning waved her sleeves and retreated, her expression becoming even colder: "I don't want to say anything unpleasant."
"Your Highness said that you have possessed this pearl for a long time, but have never found a match for it. You have the Empress as your mother and the Four Princes' wives as your wives. They have all worked tirelessly for your future, but in your eyes, neither your mother nor your wife is worthy of this dead object."
"Your Highness gave me this thing. Was it to humiliate me, or to humiliate the Empress and the Fourth Prince's wife? If others knew about this, how would the Empress and the others cope?"
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Prince looked at the sudden indifference on Tang Ning's face and immediately thought that she was disgusted with his coldness towards the Queen and the Fourth Prince's wife. He opened his mouth to argue and wanted to say that he did not mean that, but Tang Ning did not give him a chance to speak.
"You don't know how to respect the one who gave birth to you, and you don't know how to pity the one who sleeps beside you. The Fourth Prince is so disheartening. Please go back, Fourth Prince, and don't come to Jiyun Lane again."
"Hang Li, show the guest out!"
The fourth prince was "blasted" out holding the pearl that he once regarded as a treasure. When he arrived outside, his face was still pale and blue.
Cheng Ping, who had come with him, saw that the Fourth Prince was extremely angry and quickly whispered, "Your Highness, please don't be upset. I'm afraid the Princess of Yiyang County has misunderstood you..."
He actually wanted to say that the Fourth Prince's previous words were indeed inappropriate. He wanted to praise the Princess of Yi Yang, but he shouldn't have belittled the Queen and the Fourth Prince's wife. However, the person in front of him was his master, so he had to choose his words carefully.
"The Princess of Yiyang was raised by Taifu Rong when she was young. The Rong family is upright and respectful of etiquette and rules. Naturally, she is not a frivolous woman. Moreover, she had previously experienced the incident with the Lu family, so she must be extremely cautious about matters between men and women. The fact that she did not accept your gift shows that she is a self-disciplined person and deserves your favor."
"If Princess Yiyang really wanted such a valuable item from you so casually, she would be greedy and vain, and unworthy of Your Highness."
The Fourth Prince's expression softened a little after hearing Cheng Ping's words. Thinking of how Tang Ning had just spoken to him in a gentle voice but suddenly changed her expression, he glanced at the square brocade box in his hand.
"Blame me. She is a lady from a wealthy family, raised by the Rong family. How could she be as frivolous as other girls?"
His mother had told him to be on good terms with Song Tangning, but not to act or say anything too much. It was because of his momentary infatuation that he mistook her for one of those vain little girls and thus annoyed her for no reason.
However, Song Tangning, who had been so cold and distant just now, made him like her even more.
The Fourth Prince couldn't help but feel his emotions surge when he thought of Tang Ning's cold and pretty face, but he suppressed his thoughts when he remembered what his mother had said before.
No rush.
Song Tangning will enter his house sooner or later, and he will explain everything to her then.
It's just that this girl has a bad temper. She must be well disciplined after she enters the mansion. Women should be gentle and humble.
…
"What a filthy thing, how dare you covet a girl!"
After Hua Wu saw the Fourth Prince leave, she couldn't help but walk up to him and curse in a low voice.
Tang Ning's face also looked a little bad. She really didn't expect that the Fourth Prince would actually set his sights on her. Although she had known for a long time that he was not a good person, the sticky look in the Fourth Prince's eyes just now, as if he had already regarded her as his "thing", made her feel sick.
Tang Ning turned his head to look at the person hiding not far away: "Cang Lang."
"Girl?"
"Go teach the Fourth Prince a lesson."
Cang Lang's eyes suddenly lit up. He had long wanted to deal with that bastard the Fourth Prince, who actually wanted to steal his family's headmaster's woman. Just as he was thinking about how to kill him, he heard Tang Ning say, "Don't kill him. Just teach him a lesson and keep him out of bed for seven or eight days."
Canglang regrets.
The girl is still soft-hearted. If it were the governor, he would at least break three of his legs...
Tang Ning didn't know what he was thinking, so he just pondered and said, "The Fourth Prince ran into the Second Son of the Lu Family when he came here today. He also had a conflict with him because of his previous fall from power and Lu Qin. The Second Son of the Lu Family left Jiyun Lane first. If something happened to the Fourth Prince..."
Canglang understood what he meant: "The Lu family has always been ruthless. Erlang's father was exiled, and he has long been resentful. He was angered by the Fourth Prince, so it is normal for him to vent his anger on him."
Tang Ning's lips curled slightly: "Do it cleanly, don't let the Queen get suspicious."
Canglang smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl. I'll go right away."
After Canglang left, Tang Ning turned around and said, "Don't tell my brother what happened just now."
Hua Wu whispered, "Why? The Governor loves you dearly and wouldn't let you suffer even the slightest injustice. If he knew what the Fourth Prince was thinking, he would definitely not let him off..."
Tang Ning said, "It's because my brother is protecting his shortcomings that I shouldn't tell him. He has important things to do this time. Don't let him be distracted by such a small matter."
The Fourth Prince was just a paper tiger without claws, stupid, vicious and brainless. She could still deal with him. There was no need for Xiao Yan to be distracted by these trivial matters before leaving Beijing.
"Cang Lang has already gone to teach the Fourth Prince a lesson. Don't tell my brother."
Hua Wu nodded: "I understand."
