Chapter 31 Song Jinxiu Get Out of the Song Family, I Will Go Back
Old Madam Song looked at her granddaughter deeply, as if she was meeting her for the first time.
"Child, falling off the cliff was an accident. How can you keep talking about death? If I had known you were so scared, even if I was too sick to get out of bed a few days ago, I would have still come to get you."
She wanted to hold Tang Ning's hand, only to find that her hand was wrapped in bandage and was severely injured.
Old Madam Song had no choice but to put her arm around Tang Ning's shoulders, her eyes red and she sobbed, "It's all Grandma's fault. Grandma shouldn't have let you suffer in the outside world."
Song Tangning was held in the old man's arms, but he felt a chill down his spine.
She had never felt so clearly how eloquent her grandmother was, nor how soothing her kindness was.
If she had not experienced her indifference before, she might have really believed the old man's favoritism towards her.
Tang Ning pinched the injured part of her finger lightly, and tears came out of her eyes due to the pain. She leaned on Old Madam Song's arms and sobbed softly:
"Don't blame grandma. It's my brother. He didn't want me to live. He abandoned me in the forest. No matter how I called him, he refused to come back."
"Grandma, I'm so scared. Whenever I see my brother, I'll remember what happened that day. I remember the despair of crying out in the pitch-black forest with no response. The moment I was thrown off the cliff, all I could think about was how much my brother hated me. He actually wanted me dead..."
The girl cried silently and sadly. Her voice was not loud, but every sob made Zou look ugly, and even Old Madam Song changed color.
Zou couldn't help but stand up and angrily said, "Song Tangning, what are you talking about?"
"What happened in the mountain was clearly just an accident. Why do you have to say such harsh words, saying that your brother wanted to harm you? He was just careless for a moment and forgot you were still in the forest. You are such a grown-up, and you don't know how many maids and followers you have around you. Why do you come here to slander your brother after something happened?"
Tang Ning was frightened and trembled. Her face turned pale as she hid in Old Madam Song's arms.
"I'm not talking nonsense. The mountain wasn't an accident. He left me there on purpose. He took all the servants with him before leaving. He knew it was getting dark, cold, and damp, and he didn't go back to look for me even when it started to rain. He just wanted to kill me..."
"Shut up!"
Zou was furious and wanted to step forward, but was blocked by Old Madam Song, but she was still furious.
"If you weren't ignorant, why would your brother have taught you a lesson? Besides, he asked you to go back to Lingyun Temple, and it was still daylight when he left. Who would have known that you would wander around and almost fall to your death!"
"Aunt..."
Song Tangning seemed to be unable to believe it, looking at Zou who was making excuses and speaking ill of her.
Old Madam Song reached out and took Tang Ning's shoulder, saying in a serious tone, "Tang Ning, although your aunt's words may be a little unpleasant, you can't say that about your brother."
"Ever since he learned of your accident, your brother has been filled with deep regret and grief. He blames himself for not being considerate enough in his momentary anger and wishes he could sacrifice himself in your place."
"You know how much your brother loved you in the past. You've hurt him these past few days and he's heartbroken and haggard. You can't just say nonsense because you're angry with him. If these words get out, you'll ruin your brother..."
Bang!
Before Madam Song could finish her words, she suddenly felt the person in front of her suddenly push her hand away.
Tang Ning looked at her in disbelief.
"Tang Ning?" Old Madam Song reached out to pull her.
Song Tangning stood up quickly, staggered back a few steps and almost fell.
"Girl!" Hua Wu was frightened and hurried forward.
Tang Ning leaned on her and barely managed to stand steady, but the color on his face had completely drained away, and his almond-shaped eyes were filled with tears: "So even my grandmother doesn't believe me?"
"Tang Ning..."
Old Madam Song was startled, and before she could say anything, she saw Tang Ning's tears rolling down her cheeks.
"In a fit of rage, he could ignore me, scold me a few times, and not care whether I live or die."
"I also want to tell myself that my brother loves me, but he knew it was my mother's death anniversary, but he took Song Shulan to Lingyun Temple to attract attention. He knew she was the one who made the mistake, but he didn't care about right or wrong and was biased."
"The roads in the mountains are dangerous and the snow is slippery. He was afraid that Song Shulan would get lost and get into trouble, so he didn't dare leave. But he never thought about how far it was from Lingyun Temple. He took Song Shulan back to the city, took her to the lake to buy jewelry, and personally sent her to the Qian family for a banquet. Does he still remember me, who was left in the mountains by him?!"
"Grandma said he was remorseful and in pain, and that he was uneasy, but isn't that what should happen? He just looked haggard, but I almost died!"
"You said I ruined him, but why didn't you say he almost ruined me... Look at my face, look at me!!"
The little girl was covered in wounds and her face looked horrible. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she became hoarse after being questioned.
"I originally thought that Grandma came to see me because she truly loved me, but you actually came because of Song Jinxiu. No wonder you never asked me a single question in all the time I've been back in Beijing. He was impeached yesterday, and you came here in person today."
Old Madam Song was annoyed by her questioning, but she stood up and stepped forward: "Tang Ning, don't let your imagination run wild. How could Grandma not love you? Grandma didn't come to see you before because she was sick..."
"I don't believe it!"
Song Tangning slapped Madam Song's hand away, pushed her away, and angrily asked with red eyes, "If you love me, why do you let me tolerate Song Jinxiu even though you know he is harming me?"
"You are siblings, Jin Xiu is your brother..."
"He is not, he is Song Shulan's brother. I don't have a brother like him!"
Old Madam Song's eyelids twitched. At first, she almost thought Song Tangning knew Song Shulan's identity. However, seeing her eyes filled with tears and resentment, she knew she was just blurting it out. She suppressed her fear and spoke as gently as possible: "Don't talk nonsense, you are the closest siblings."
"I know you're unhappy with your brother's partiality for Song Shulan. He was just confused and lost his mind for a moment. Grandmother has already taught him a lesson for you. When you return home, Grandmother will send Song Shulan away immediately, okay? Then, let your brother apologize to you. Then you can punish him or punish him as you wish..."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and wanted to hug Song Tangning.
"Tang Ning, be good and go back with grandma, okay? Grandma loves you."
Song Tangning dodged away and just looked at Old Madam Song with tears in her eyes.
"You want me to go back? Yes..."
Before Old Madam Song could even feel happy, the smile froze on her face.
"Tell Song Jinxiu to get out, and tell him to take Song Shulan away from the Song family. Whenever I see him, I have nightmares, thinking about how he threw me on the mountain and let me fall off the cliff."
"Grandma, if you really love me, then let Song Jinxiu leave. As long as he leaves the Song family, I will go back immediately."
