Chapter 63 Xiao Yan, this mad dog!!
"Mother..."
"Shut up!"
The old concubine shouted harshly and pulled Prince Cheng's arm hard to pull him back.
The remaining guards of Prince Cheng's Mansion saw their own prince being pulled away, and the screams of the man whose arms had been chopped off were still ringing in their ears. They did not dare to stop the vicious black-armored guards at all, and retreated to both sides. Madam Qian and Madam Wenxinhou even retreated to the side, directly exposing the mother and son of the Song family who were standing behind them.
Madam Song was in a state of panic: "Your Majesty, my mother and I are here for a banquet at Prince Cheng's mansion. It was you who asked us to come..."
ah--
The black armor guard pressed the hilt of his sword directly on her back, twisting her backwards. Madam Song screamed in pain:
"I am the wife of the Minister of the Imperial Court, a woman of high rank in the imperial court. You have no right to arrest me..."
"Master Xiao, Jin Xiu and I don't know anything about Song Hong. There must be a misunderstanding..."
ah!
The force pressing on her body was even stronger, and Madam Song was unable to break free. She and Song Jinxiu beside her were dragged out by the Black Armored Guards.
"My Lord, please save us..."
Prince Cheng was held back by the indifferent old concubine, who remained silent. Madam Song could only turn her head and shriek towards the Lu family, "Master Lu, Madam, our two families are relatives..."
"Our Lu family wouldn't dare to have relatives like you!"
Old Madam Lu shouted and was about to say that Song Tangning had already said those words just now, and the Song family actually wanted the Lu family to stand up for them?
But before she could finish her words, she saw Lu Zhinian, with a grim expression on his face, step forward.
"Madam Song, have you misunderstood something? My marriage to Tang Ning was arranged by the Empress and the two families when Grand Tutor Rong was still alive. What I care about is that Tang Ning has never been a member of your Song family."
He glanced at Song Tangning over there and said in a deep voice:
"Tang Ning has just severed her ties with the Duke of Song's Mansion in the flower hall. Naturally, my marriage to Tang Ning has nothing to do with the Duke of Song's Mansion."
"Minister Song disrespected the late emperor first, then bullied the orphan of the second wife. Now Song Jinxiu has even bullied my future wife. Although Tang Ning and I have quarreled, she is my chosen wife. How can I help outsiders bully her?"
“You…you…”
Mrs. Song looked at the tall, handsome and unparalleled young man and felt her head buzzing.
In the past, the third son of the Lu family was very polite when he came to the house, and he always called her "Aunt Song". Every time he went to visit Tang Ning, he would bring gifts from her and other people in the house. She had often lamented why she had not given birth to a daughter, so that Tang Ning, the second son of the Lu family, could get such a good husband. She was extremely fond of Lu Zhinian's handsome appearance.
But as much as I liked his gentleness and thoughtfulness back then, I am now shocked by his coldness and ruthlessness.
Song Jinxiu, who was being pinned down, also looked up at Lu Zhinian. When he met his distant eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with coldness seeping into his bones.
While boating on the lake in Beijing, Lu Zhinian drank and chatted happily with him.
"Jin Xiu, I really hate that you and I are not from the same family. I have never met a friend as congenial as you. You don't know how fortunate I am to have met you because of Tang Ning, and to be able to call you brother from now on."
"I deeply admire your ambition and your abilities. From now on, we will serve together in the court and plead for the people. If we work together, we will surely become loyal ministers and wise generals, assisting a wise ruler and leaving a legacy for eternity."
The laughter of the past is still ringing in my ears, but now the cold words are like icicles piercing me.
Song Jinxiu murmured: "Shao Zheng..."
Lu Zhinian said coldly, "Song Langjun, please don't call me that. I admire your talent, but I don't despise you as a person. Tang Ning is your sister, yet you treat her so cruelly. Knowing your despicable character, how dare I befriend you?"
"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together. Please respect yourself, Mr. Song."
A wisp of chill spread over his body as Lu Zhinian spoke coldly, and Song Jinxiu's heart seemed to sink to the bottom of a cold pond.
The people around him looked at him in various ways, as if they were mocking him for clinging to the Lu family, and also mocking him for being abandoned by his best friend. He had never felt so isolated and helpless, as if the whole world was laughing at him.
Facing Song Tangning's indifference without any emotion, and the mockery in the eyes of Princess Cheng and others, his gaze finally fell on his former close friend Lu Zhinian.
"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together..."
"What a saying, 'If you have different ideals, you can't work together!'"
Ha ha ha ha--
His voice was hoarse, as if he was laughing and crying, and his face was paler than before. He was laughing so hard that his whole body was shaking. Even though he was being held by the black-armored guards, he was still laughing so hard that his body was tilted and tears were streaming down his face.
"Lu Zhinian, you're fine."
He is just as Tang Ning said, self-righteous and stupid and can't judge people! !
After Song Jinxiu finished speaking in a hoarse voice, his face suddenly turned red. The next moment, his throat rolled and he suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. He fell down with a pale face.
The black-armored guards failed to hold him back, causing him to fall heavily to the ground. Song Jinxiu's head hit the gravel road and blood immediately appeared.
“Jin Xiu!!”
Madam Song cried out in fear and wanted to rush over.
Xiao Yan frowned impatiently: "Tell her to shut up and take her away."
Canglang slapped Madam Song on the back of the neck, knocking her unconscious.
After the Black Armor Guards dragged the Song family mother and son away, Gu Helian said to Lu Zhinian in amazement, "I've only heard that the Imperial Censors were so good at talking that they could even make the dead look alive. I never thought Mr. Lu was just as good. I admire his ability to kick someone when they're down."
Lu Zhinian: "I didn't..."
"Mr. Lu, there's no need to explain. I understand. The Duke Song's mansion is on the verge of collapse, and the eldest son of the Song family has his future ruined. It's normal for you to want to protect yourself."
Gu Helian sighed with an expression of understanding, "It's a good thing for young people to know the current situation. No wonder the Lu family's status has remained so high for so many years. It's just a pity that Song Jialang is so sincere. He didn't treat my little Haitang as sincerely as he did Lu Langjun."
Lu Zhinian: “…”
Puff.
Song Tangning stood beside Xiao Yan and couldn't help laughing.
Princess Cheng's mouth twitched as well. She thought it was a wonder that Gu Helian hadn't been beaten to death for so many years. His mouth looked like it was poisoned.
Everyone around looked at Lu Zhinian with extremely strange eyes.
Everyone in the capital knew that the third son of the Lu family and the eldest son of the Song family had a very good relationship. Although they were not inseparable in the court in the past, they were always together most of the time. But just now, Lu Zhinian distanced himself from the matter too quickly, and his cold words made Song Jinxiu vomit blood and faint. Everyone saw it with their own eyes. Looking at the Song mother and son being dragged away, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
This Sanlang of the Lu family is really ruthless and cruel.
Xiao Yan looked at the little girl who was laughing happily with her hands covering her mouth, and a smile flashed across his eyes.
"The man has been captured. I will not bother Your Highness any further."
He reached out and patted Tang Ning's head: "Let's go."
Protected by the black-armored guards, Xiao Yan led Song Tangning and his party out as if no one was around. No one dared to stop them on the road. When Princess Cheng and Gu Helian were taken away by him, the wife of Marquis Wenxin and the others also left with him. The guests who had seen enough of the excitement and felt that they had eaten too much of the big melons of the year also followed him out quickly with great tact.
In a moment, only the Cheng Lu family's grandparents and the people from Prince Cheng's Mansion were left in the courtyard. Looking at the blood all over the ground, Prince Cheng was furious.
Xiao Yan, this mad dog!!
He is a mad dog!!!
