Chapter 98 Lu Zhinian was struck by lightning: That’s not him!
"My dear!"
Song Mo was suddenly awakened by the noise inside, and hurriedly pushed the door open. He saw Lu Zhinian sitting on the bed, clutching the corner of the quilt tightly and gasping for breath.
He quickly lit the lamp and walked over, and was shocked by Lu Zhinian's pale face.
"My dear, what's wrong with you? Are you in a nightmare?"
Song Mo saw cold sweat rolling down his face. Just as he was about to reach out to wipe the sweat off his face, he woke up the person in bed.
Lu Zhinian suddenly waved his hand and pushed him away. Song Mo was caught off guard and bumped into the bedpost. He cried out in pain in his lower back, and the oil lamp in his hand was knocked to the ground.
When Lu Zhinian raised his eyes from the bed, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he didn't see Song Mo at all. He lifted the quilt and walked out barefoot.
"My dear!"
Song Mo hurried forward and stopped the man: "It's late at night, where are you going?"
He just thought that Lu Zhinian was going to meet Lu Chongyuan and the others, so he tried to comfort him, "My dear, they are probably resting now. If you want to see them, go tomorrow..."
"Get out of the way!" Lu Zhinian's eyes were red, "Tang Ning is injured!"
So much blood.
Tang Ning was calling him.
She was in great pain, and he wanted to see her...
Song Mo was stunned when he heard this: "Miss Song?"
Lu Zhinian pushed him away and ran out with his underwear on and his hair disheveled. His steps were unsteady and panicked. Song Mo hurried forward and grabbed him.
"My dear, are you confused? Miss Song is fine. The wound on her face has been healing for a long time and is no longer a problem. Besides, she just drove you and my dear out today and said those heartless words. You won't see her even if you go to Jiyun Lane now."
Lu Zhinian paused: "Cumulus Alley?"
"Yeah, Cumulus Lane."
Song Mo thought her husband had a high fever and was confused, so she stopped him and said, "Have you forgotten that Miss Song moved to Jiyun Lane after returning from the mountains more than a month ago, and even Princess Cheng moved in with her in Tang Mansion."
"She relied on the protection of the eunuch Xiao Yan to send everyone in the Duke of Song's mansion to jail. Two days ago, she even threatened to break off the engagement with you. She even publicly humiliated you and the Master and broke off relations with our Lu family..."
Lu Zhinian looked dazed: "Tang Ning... wants to cancel the engagement..."
He stared at Song Mo blankly, his mind seemed to be filled with water and gradually became clearer. The confused feeling of being restrained by the dream gradually faded away. When his sanity returned, he looked at the dimly lit room and suddenly remembered the cold words Song Tangning said in Jiyun Lane today.
Like thunder exploding in the sky, his face turned pale and he covered his forehead with his hands. Not only did he not feel relieved at all, but the basins of blood in his dream penetrated deeper into his heart, filling his eyes with a glaring red.
Why……
Why did that scene happen?
Why did Tang Ning appear in his dream in such a bloody state?
The screams of "Brother Lu" lingered in his ears, and the bloody scene could not be shaken off even if he shook his head hard.
He felt as if someone was tearing his brain apart, and the pain was so severe that he almost fainted. He hunched over, hugged his head and groaned.
"My dear!"
Song Mo panicked when he saw this, and quickly shouted outside: "Someone, come quickly..."
"Don't scream." Lu Zhinian grabbed Song Mo.
"But my dear..."
"I'm fine."
Lu Zhinian was in so much pain that he pressed his hands so hard that his nails almost dug into his flesh. It felt like someone was cutting his skin inch by inch with a knife. He pulled Song Mo and said in a low, trembling voice, "Get the car ready. I want to go to Jiyun Lane."
"My dear?!"
Song Mo's face was instantly filled with shock. Seeing that he was sweating and weak, he couldn't help but said hurriedly:
"What are you doing in Jiyun Lane? It's already dark and curfew is almost here. If you leave the house now and get caught, you'll be in trouble."
"Besides, Miss Song just humiliated you and the Master during the day, and everyone in the mansion is angry with her. If you go looking for her at this time, the Master and the others will definitely be furious..."
Besides, given how cruel Song Tangning was to her husband, she would never meet them.
Lu Zhinian, however, completely ignored his words and said, enduring the headache, "Go prepare the car."
"My dear..."
"I told you to prepare the car!"
When Lu Zhinian looked up, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and his voice was shaking as he spoke: "Don't you even listen to me? If you can't tell who your master is, then get out of this yard right now, I'll go by myself!!"
He wants to see Song Tangning!!
After Lu Zhinian finished his words in a hissing voice, he pushed Song Mo away, turned around and walked out.
Song Mo suddenly became anxious and quickly chased after him, saying urgently, "My dear, don't be angry. Don't be angry. I'll go get someone to prepare the car."
Lu Zhinian was finally comforted: "Don't disturb Grandfather and the others, go quietly."
Song Mo nodded: "Yes."
…
The capital city at night was already devoid of the hustle and bustle of the day. When Lu Zhinian wrapped himself in his outer coat and took a carriage to Jiyun Lane, only a few hurried pedestrians could be seen outside.
He closed his eyes and leaned against the car wall, seemingly taking a nap, but his lips were trembling and pale, and his fingers were curled up and tightly clenched on the clothes above his knees. It was as if someone was holding an awl and drilling it into his brain, and the bumps on both sides of his temples were throbbing with pain.
The carriage was not shaking too much, it just stopped and swayed a little when it went the wrong way and met a pedestrian. The scene flashed through Lu Zhinian's mind again like thunder.
In the dim and dark room, a pungent fishy smell filled the air, and the shabby bed looked like it would break at any time with a push.
"He" held Song Shulan, whose hands were red, with heartache. On the bed opposite, Song Tangning, with an ugly face covered with pus-filled sores, was curled up there.
"It's not me, it's really not me, Brother Lu, I didn't hurt her."
Her legs were covered with old bedding, and she seemed unable to move her waist. She could only cling to the edge of the bed. When she raised her head with a look of sorrow, her face was horrifying. Her almond-shaped eyes had lost their luster and were misty with tears.
Tang Ning's voice was hoarse and harsh: "I didn't touch her, I didn't... You believe me, Brother Lu..."
"Don't call me!"
The person in the picture couldn't see her tears at all, but felt that her crying face was disgusting. He supported the weak woman beside him and said sternly:
"It's not you or Lan'er herself? You two are the only ones in this room. Lan'er personally drew your blood to make the medicine and waited for you to drink it. And you're still arguing with her?!"
Lu Zhinian was furious when he heard “himself” speak harshly:
"Song Tangning, you've always been narrow-minded and intolerant. It was you who fell off the cliff and injured your face out of willfulness. We all felt guilty about it and let you do whatever you wanted, but you kept pushing it further, thinking that everyone in the world owed you."
"You've been causing unrest in the Song family these days, and Lan'er has been repeatedly hurt by you. She's gone everywhere looking for medical help for you, burning incense and praying for you every day, wishing she could sacrifice herself for you. What else do you want from her?"
