Chapter 126 How could Tang Ning be so intimate with a eunuch
Song Tangning pursed her lips when she heard that.
Seeing her eyebrows furrowed and her face wrinkled, Xiao Yan helplessly brushed her hair lightly: "Okay, it's just a casual remark, there may not be a day like that."
Tang Ning raised his eyes: "It's not okay to just say it casually!"
Xiao Yan said helplessly: "Okay, no, I won't talk about it anymore." When he stepped over the threshold, the step was a bit high. He reached out and supported Song Tangning's waist: "Watch your step."
Song Tangning put her arm around him and looked at the bustling crowd outside. The court officials behind her were still enthusiastically discussing the Lu family's book collection. She suddenly stopped when she stepped past the door.
"Brother."
"Hmm?" Xiao Yan responded.
Song Tangning looked up at him seriously and said, "Whether you believe it or not, no matter what the future holds, I will always be with you."
Be he treacherous or notorious, he is just a brother to her.
Someone who would call her Xiao Haitang and protect her for no reason.
Xiao Yan was stunned by her extremely serious tone. When he came to his senses, the green skirt had already passed by him. The little girl stepped over the door, and walked forward with her hair accessories swaying gently.
"Little Begonia..."
Xiao Yan's voice was caught in his throat as their lips and teeth rubbed against each other. He couldn't help but soften his brows and followed with a soft sigh.
This kid always knows how to hit people's weak spots.
…
Lu Zhinian watched from afar the two people walking out of the door side by side. Their eyes met and fell on Song Tangning's vaguely dependent figure when the two were talking intimately.
The two of them were one tall and one short, holding each other's sleeves. Perhaps because they were too close, when they looked at each other, or occasionally turned their heads to talk, it seemed as if they were whispering to each other, which gave rise to a sense of ambiguity for no reason.
Lu Zhinian couldn't help but frown, as if something was blocking his heart, making him feel suffocated and uncomfortable.
How could Tang Ning be so intimate with a eunuch?
Although the man was a eunuch, he was in public and he was a man. How could a little girl like her not know how to avoid him?
For some reason, Xiao Yan helped Song Tangning and saw her turn her head and smile. Her eyes, which were once filled with his figure, now only had another "man" in them. Lu Zhinian bit the back of his teeth hard.
That was his Tang Ning, the little girl he had watched grow up since she was a child. Their engagement was still ongoing, and she was his future wife. How could she get so close to someone else?
Even though the man was a eunuch, Lu Zhinian still felt like there was a lot of depression in his chest. He held on to the wall of the car and wanted to get out, but Lu Zhao pulled him back and he hit the wall of the car with a "bang".
Lu Zhao shouted angrily: "What do you want to do?"
"I'm going to see Tang Ning and explain to her..."
"Are you crazy?!"
Lu Zhao's eyes were filled with anger. "Didn't you see how many people were outside? Didn't you see that they were all laughing at the Lu family? What did you want to explain to Song Tangning now? How did you betray her in the past, or how you treated her harshly?"
"Do you want everyone to see you groveling to her, begging for mercy with a spineless face, and let them laugh at our Lu family?!"
If it was before today, it would be fine. Begging for mercy might have made Song Tangning give in. But now the Lu family has surrendered and been forced to give away those books, and has been ridiculed and mocked.
If Lu Zhinian showed weakness at this time, it would be like adding water to the frying pan. What else could it do except make people laugh at the Lu family?
"I'm telling you, stay here and don't go out and embarrass yourself!"
Lu Zhinian listened to Lu Zhao's scolding and just looked up at him.
His back hurt badly, as if the collision had reopened the wound from the previous beating.
Lu Zhinian could feel the dampness on his wrinkled robe, but he seemed not to feel the pain on his back. He only said to Lu Zhao opposite him with a sarcastic tone:
"I'm embarrassing myself?"
"It was you, father, who made me weak and grovel on my knees, begging for mercy, wasn't it you?"
Lu Zhinian's lips were dry and cracked, and his voice was hoarse. "Didn't you and grandfather give me up long ago? You knelt down to beg Tang Ning on my behalf. You didn't care about your dignity at all. Why are you so angry now?"
"Didn't Father just say that it's just a kneeling gesture. I'll have to kneel down sooner or later anyway. If this can make Tang Ning change her mind, won't Father be happy?"
"Sanlang..."
"Or has father changed his mind and is willing to go to Jiyun Lane to reject Tang Ning on my behalf?"
Lu Zhao's expression froze, and his words died down. This expression made Lu Zhinian mock him even more. "So, father is unwilling to refuse on my behalf, but also doesn't want me to bring shame to the Lu family. In your eyes, I'm kneeling in Jiyun Lane. As long as you can't see it, you don't have to worry about the Lu family being laughed at..."
Snap——
"Lu Zhinian, I am your father!" Lu Zhao was angered by his questioning.
Lu Zhinian just laughed softly with his face swollen and red from being beaten. It was unclear whether he was mocking his anger or the words he said.
He held onto the wall of the car and walked down. Seeing Lu Zhao trying to reach out and pull him, he just turned around and chuckled, "Father, do you really want to fight with me in front of everyone?"
Lu Zhao's outstretched hand suddenly retracted
Lu Zhinian smiled, his tone full of sarcasm: "There are so many people outside. Since father wants to maintain the face of the Lu family, it is better not to quarrel with me. Otherwise, it will affect your reputation and that of your fifth brother, which will be bad."
"you!"
"Thank you, Dad, for taking the time to pick me up from prison."
After Lu Zhinian finished speaking with a sarcastic tone, he ignored Lu Zhao, whose face was turning pale and blue behind him, and slowly got out of the carriage by holding onto the wall.
Seeing him staggering away, Lu Rong hurriedly said, "Master, Sanlangjun is still injured..."
"Don't worry about him!"
Lu Zhao clenched his fists tightly, his face filled with anger: "This rebellious son!!"
"But if he really goes to see the Yiyang County Master..."
"He can find it if he wants to. Who can stop him?!"
Lu Zhao said angrily, "He thought the Song girl was still the same as before, and that he could coax her back with a few words. He thought that the engagement could still go on even after all this trouble."
"Let him bang his head against the wall. After he meets the Song girl, he will naturally know that his grandfather and I are doing this for his own good." If he had not been forced to do so, how could he let his son kneel before a little girl?
What's more, Lu Zhinian did something wrong, causing the Lu family to suffer heavy losses.
If he didn't step forward to settle the matter, if he didn't let people know that he had also suffered humiliation, how could the elders of the Lu family tolerate him, and how would he have a place in the Lu family in the future?
Although Lu Zhao did want to support his youngest son, he had valued Lu Zhinian for many years, so how could he not feel sorry for him at all? However, Lu Zhinian did not understand the deep meaning between him and his father at all.
"Don't worry about him. Let him go find Song Tangning. I want to see how powerful he is. If he can persuade Song Tangning to change her mind, then what does it matter if the Lu family gives it to him?"
If he could save the Lu family's reputation and not have to kneel that time, Lu Zhinian would naturally still have a chance.
But if he can't, he can't blame anyone!
