Chapter 15 If you are afraid, call me
When Xie Yin and Song Jinxiu entered the yard, they saw a strange figure standing in front of the door.
Canglang was dressed in black brocade clothes, holding a white phosphorus jade peak sword in his hand, leaning against the corridor pillar, with half of his body hidden in the shadows.
"Who are you and why are you in Tangning's yard?" Xie Yin was shocked.
Song Jinxiu was shocked when he heard this: "Isn't he from Prince Cheng's Mansion?"
"Someone come..."
Seeing Xie Yin opening his mouth to call for help, Canglang walked out from the shadows.
"Is Master Xie blind? I just saw him at the Qian family this morning, but I didn't recognize him last night."
"It's you!"
After Xie Yin saw who that person was, he suddenly remembered the humiliation he suffered at the Qian family today.
If Tang Ning's words and deeds made him lose all face and feel extremely ashamed, then the master of this person in front of him was the culprit. If it weren't for him, how could Tang Ning have gone to the Qian family? He immediately became furious:
"What are you doing in our house? And how dare you stay in Tangning's yard in the middle of the night?"
Song Shulan, who followed behind him, saw Song Jinxiu's bewilderment and whispered softly, "Brother, he's Governor Xiao's man..."
Song Jinxiu's face suddenly darkened. They entered through the main gate of the palace. If an outsider visited, the gatekeeper would not fail to mention it to Xie Yin. Moreover, he extremely disliked the eunuch Xiao Yan's abuse of power. Tang Ning's involvement with him already made him unhappy. Now Xiao Yan's people showed up at Tang Ning's residence in the middle of the night.
Song Jinxiu took a few steps forward and a hint of anger appeared on his face: "How did you get in? Where is Tang Ning? Where is she?"
"Mrs. Song is naturally inside..."
"Then why are you here!?"
Song Jinxiu said sternly, "This is Prince Cheng's residence, not Xiao Yan's Governor's residence. What are you trying to do by entering Tang Ning's residence without permission so late at night? A single man and a single woman in the same room, is this the way you are taught in Governor Xiao's residence?"
Canglang was shocked when he heard this.
Is there something wrong with the eldest son of the Song family's brain? It is unreasonable for him to appear here, but if he is a man who cares about his own daughter, he should first find a way to distance himself from it.
But he was still outside the house, and the eldest son of the Song family kept saying that they were a single man and a single woman. Was he afraid that he could ruin the reputation of the young lady of the Song family?
"Cang Lang." Xiao Yan's eyes turned cold and he just opened his mouth when Tang Ning suddenly said, "Brother, I want to see them."
Xiao Yan turned his head to look at her. This was the first time she took the initiative to call him brother.
The little girl's eyes were still red, and the crimson in the corners of her eyes had not faded, but she spoke with extreme seriousness.
"You said I can let go of the Song family's affairs. I want to do it myself."
She once relied on her brother, her cousin, and Lu Zhinian, who she thought would work together to protect her for the rest of her life.
She regarded the Song family as her support, but everyone abandoned her. Now she doesn't want to rely on anyone anymore. There are some things she wants to do by herself. Even if the person in front of her will protect her, she doesn't want to rely on others for everything.
Xiao Yan was silent for a moment after hearing this, and the frosty look on his face faded away: "As you wish."
"If you are afraid, call me."
…
Tang Ning supported Xiao Yan's arm through his sleeve and stood up, and was half-supported by him out of the room. The few people who were still confronting Cang Lang outside looked up and saw the figure coming out of the door, and hurried forward.
Song Jinxiu walked the fastest. When he got closer, he first saw the tall figure beside Tang Ning. He also saw the tears in Tang Ning's eyes. He immediately said anxiously, "Xiao Yan, how dare you enter Tang Ning's boudoir? Tang Ning, how are you? Did Xiao Yan bully you? Don't be afraid, I will protect you."
He stepped forward and tried to pull Tang Ning, but Tang Ning stepped back to avoid him. When his hand missed, Song Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, "Tang Ning..."
"Mr. Song seems to really want me to be treated like this?"
"Tang Ning!" Song Jinxiu was shocked. Seeing the unprecedented coldness in Tang Ning's eyes, he began to explain, "You know that's not what I meant. You're an unmarried woman. If Xiao Yan and his servant were to be in the same room with you so late at night, it would ruin your reputation if it got out. I'm just worried about you."
"If Master Yutai had kept his voice down, her reputation might have been clearer. Besides, I'm just a eunuch, whose reputation can I harm?"
Xiao Yan's words made Song Jinxiu freeze.
Instead, Tang Ning listened to him nonchalantly saying that he was a eunuch. He was obviously a decent and upright person, but he deserved to be treated so recklessly, yet he exposed his shortcomings for her.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she looked completely cold when she looked at Song Jinxiu.
"Not to mention Canglang is outside, the governor and I are in the same room with the doors and windows open. Even if it were just the two of us in the room, the governor is my brother, who would dare to say anything? On the contrary, it is you, Mr. Song, who knew it was late at night, but you brought your daughter into Prince Cheng's mansion to disturb my peace? Why didn't you let her be alone with Master Xie, worried that she would lose her reputation?"
"You, the elder brother, didn't go to the Qian family today, but you let Master Xie take her everywhere to make friends with people, not afraid of people's gossip at all. Why are you so harsh when it's my turn?"
Song Jinxiu was stung by her words: "This is different, A Yin is not an outsider..."
"The Governor is also my brother!"
Tang Ning interrupted him, her dark eyes filled with mockery, "You said that Master Xie is not an outsider, but an insider? Did Song Shulan marry into Prince Cheng's mansion, or did Master Xie already intend to marry her? The two of them have gone through the three betrothal gifts and six ceremonials. Are they engaged or have they exchanged engagement letters?"
"Tang Ning!" Xie Yin was annoyed. "Shu Lan came to apologize to you, why are you being so sharp?"
"Master Xie, have you forgotten that you called her a bitch in public at the Qian family today?"
"you!"
Xie Yin was furious. "That's all your fault. If you hadn't humiliated me in public, why would I have been so angry? And your leg was obviously fine. Why did you pretend to be broken and carried into the Qian family, making people laugh at us? You clearly did it on purpose to embarrass me."
"So what?"
Xie Yin was stunned and speechless. He thought Tang Ning was going to refute or make excuses, but she actually admitted it.
Seeing his expression, Tang Ning suddenly smiled: "Thank you, Prince. It was you who abandoned me in the mountains, it was you who frightened my horse and caused me to fall off the cliff, it was you who almost made me die in that dark forest."
"Look at my face."
When she suddenly leaned closer, the wounds on her face that were covered with medicine were all exposed, looking hideous and scary.
Xie Yin was frightened and retreated in embarrassment. Her smile suddenly became even wider: "Why, are you making Master Xie look ugly?"
"You said I deliberately embarrassed you, then tell me what you were doing when I was crying for help? What were you doing when I was injured and dying?"
"Hmm? My cousin?"
Xie Yin's face turned pale as he staggered and backed away repeatedly.
Song Tangning looked up at Song Jinxiu, who was also stunned. "Mr. Song, I also want to ask you, what are you doing here tonight? Do you want to see how miserable I am because of you, or do you want me to see how much you love your sister?"
Song Jinxiu explained: "I'm not, I'm just worried about you. I know you're injured and want to take you back..."
"What are you going back for? To listen to you scold me for being ignorant, or to listen to you tell me how pitiful Song Shulan is?"
