Chapter 9 If you dare to look at her again, I will gouge out your eyes
Seeing that Xie Yin actually ran away, Song Tangning was stunned for a moment before she realized that she had actually scolded the man away.
Her palms trembled slightly, and she subconsciously looked up at the man sitting above her. She saw that he was holding his chin and raising his lips, looking gentle and casual. When his ink-black sword-like eyes looked at her, it seemed as if they were penetrated by the swaying light and shadow around him.
Xiao Yan was laughing.
Tang Ning's heart, which had been beating wildly, suddenly calmed down. For some reason, she felt more confident: "Aunt, I don't like my cousin."
Princess Cheng was a biased person to begin with. She didn't feel that she had hurt her reputation at all. She just said with heartache:
"If you don't like it, then you don't like it. Your cousin can't distinguish between relatives and strangers, good and bad, and he was fooled and bullied by a bitch with a few words. He is a brainless person."
"And the Song family. Song Hong actually dared to use his concubine's daughter to pretend to be a concubine's daughter and force you to recognize your relationship. They bullied you like this. I will never let the Song family go!"
Seeing that Princess Cheng protected her without hesitation, Song Tangning's eyes turned red and she almost cried.
It was the same in her previous life. After she was disfigured and had a broken leg, her aunt went crazy and caused trouble for the Song family. She almost killed Song Jinxiu with a knife, and even Xie Yin was almost beaten to death by her.
He clearly loved and protected her so much, but her aunt suddenly passed away due to illness, and she was locked up in that abandoned yard without even being able to see her aunt for the last time.
Seeing Tang Ning suddenly burst into tears, Princess Cheng panicked: "Why are you crying?"
Song Tangning leaned in her arms and sobbed. Her crying sounded not like wailing, but low sobs that were heartbreaking.
Princess Cheng's heart was twisted by her tears. She hugged Tang Ning and coaxed her: "Dear, don't cry. Auntie will take care of you. No one can bully you..."
Xiao Yan looked at Tang Ning lying in Princess Cheng's arms, and a shadow fell over his originally distracted eyes.
When he sat up straight and spoke, his voice was cold and chilling:
"I remember that this concubine had an affair, and her children were born out of wedlock, so they are not allowed to be family members. Your Qian family has set the bar too low. Anyone can come to the banquet without worrying about being unlucky."
Qian Baokun was innocently caught in the crossfire and his face turned dark.
Mrs. Qian next to her was also furious. She had originally invited Mrs. Song to the banquet today, but Mrs. Song felt unwell early in the morning, so Mrs. Song had to stay in the mansion to take care of her, so she asked this concubine to come.
She was already somewhat displeased at first because it was a concubine's daughter who came, but seeing that Song Jinxiu valued this sister very much, he personally sent her to the front of the mansion to greet her before leaving to go on duty.
Mrs. Qian finally endured it, but who could have imagined that this unpresentable girl was not even a concubine's daughter.
The Song family invited a concubine to congratulate their son on his wedding. What were they thinking?!
Madam Qian suppressed her anger and said, "My Qian family's invitation was sent to the eldest branch of the Song family, but I didn't invite any random people to come. Someone, please ask Miss Song to leave."
"Mrs. Qian..."
Song Shulan's face was pale. Seeing no response, she could only turn her head to look at Tang Ning, "Sister, are you really going to be so heartless?"
"Bah!"
Tang Ning was about to raise her head when she was pushed back by Princess Cheng.
"My Tang Ning would rather not have a sister like you who is ignorant of your background!"
"Go back to the Song family and stop embarrassing yourself here. I'll go to the Song family and tell them about you. I want to see how bold the Song family is to let you get in my sister's way!"
After hearing Princess Cheng's words, Song Shulan burst into tears as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Madam Qian said angrily with a gloomy face: "Where are the servants in the mansion? Are they all dead? Why don't you kick her out!"
Servants rushed in from outside and surrounded Song Shulan.
Everyone around her was looking at her, and the contemptuous gazes made her tremble all over.
It's over.
Her reputation was ruined.
It’s all Song Tangning!!
She obviously has such a good background, obviously has the best of everything, and obviously has enjoyed wealth and glory for so many years. What's wrong with giving way to her?
Why did she want to destroy her? !
Song Shulan bit her lips until they bled, and when she stared at Song Tangning, there was unconcealable hatred in her eyes.
She just wanted to kill Song Tangning, but the next moment she felt a sudden pain on her face, and a teacup flew down in front of her forehead, accompanied by a cold and solemn voice.
"If you keep looking at her like that, I'll gouge out your eyes."
Song Shulan looked up in panic and met the man's dark eyes. Just a quick glance made her feel cold from head to toe.
She suddenly remembered the rumors about Xiao Yan in the capital. It was said that he killed people like crazy, was cold and cruel, and anyone who fell into his hands would never see the next day's sunrise.
Song Shulan was extremely panicked. She quickly covered the blood on her head and turned around to run out. The other people in the wedding hall were all nervous when they saw Xiao Yan suddenly get angry.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes with a gloomy expression: "What are you looking at? Is there a painting on my face?"
Everyone looked away in unison.
He stood up and walked towards Tang Ning. His superior figure made Princess Cheng subconsciously protect Tang Ning.
Xiao Yan ignored it, and just as he passed by the door, his black crane cloak suddenly stopped at Tang Ning's feet.
"Whatever you want to do to the Song family, go ahead and do it. What I said to you in the villa is valid. If you are wronged and the Prince Cheng's Mansion can't protect you, come to Jiyun Lane in the south of the city to find me."
Song Tangning lowered his head and said nothing.
"Song Tangning."
He whispered her name.
Although he was not angry, Tang Ning felt his scalp tighten.
"knew……"
"Um?"
"I said I know!"
"Who knows?"
Tang Ning's cheeks flushed, "...Brother."
"good."
Xiao Yan's eyes warmed back, and he reached out and patted the little girl's head.
"Did you hear everything?"
He turned his head and looked into the hall. "Song Jiatangning is my adopted sister from today on. I am a protective person and not very reasonable. From now on, my lords and ladies, please remember to tell your families to be more considerate of my child."
"If she's sad, I won't let everyone be too happy."
Everyone: “…”
Xiao Yan ignored their expressions and simply turned his head to look at Qian Baokun: "I'm sorry to bother you, Minister Qian, today."
"I dare not. Since Lord Governor Xiao is here, why don't you stay and have a glass of wedding wine?"
"Since you have invited me so graciously, shall I stay?"
Those people around who had been breathing a sigh of relief after seeing that the evil spirit was about to leave, glared at Qian Baokun after hearing what he said. Even Mrs. Qian wished she could scratch his hair.
Qian Baokun felt bitter, he just said it casually, and tried to be polite and courteous to keep him, but who knew that Governor Xiao had no moral integrity!
Seeing Qian Baokun couldn't hold back his smile, Xiao Yan sneered:
"I won't drink at this wedding. I've ruined Minister Qian's mood today. Later, I'll have someone send over a gift, including my adopted sister, as an apology for disturbing your son's wedding."
"No, no, it's a blessing that the Governor is here..."
"Then I will stay here to celebrate the occasion?"
“…”
Song Tangning glanced at Minister Qian's face, which had stiffened in an instant, and almost laughed out loud even though he tried hard to hold it back.
As soon as her eyebrows curved, she met Xiao Yan's gaze.
He seemed to be smiling, his eyes were clear and gentle, his eyebrows were raised, and he curled the corners of his mouth at her.
Tang Ning quickly narrowed the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Yan suddenly laughed, what a little coward.
"Alright, I was just kidding. I've been delayed here long enough. I have to go to the palace to see His Majesty, so I won't stay any longer."
"I'll take you there, Lord Governor."
This time, Qian Baokun didn't dare to say a word. He followed without stopping and personally sent the plague god away.
The crane cloak fluttered as Xiao Yan and his party walked down the steps in front of the door. A sudden spring breeze blew outside, gently swaying the red silk hanging outside the door.
Song Tangning stared blankly at the direction he left, thinking about the smile he had just had.
Xiao hates him...
It seems like he is trying to make her happy?
