Chapter 68 Tang Ning, this evil creature, deserves to die with her mother!
The wound on Old Madam Song's right wrist had mostly healed, but her wrist bones were broken, her tendons were injured, and several of her finger bones were crushed. The scar across her wrist was hideous and terrifying, and her entire right hand was strangely twisted.
Now, let alone lifting heavy objects, I can’t even hold a spoon, paper or pen steadily.
There was a bronze mirror not far in front of her. The old woman in it looked haggard. When Mrs. Song saw the little girl supporting herself on the ground, she had delicate features and tears in her eyes, looking pitiful. Her hands were especially slender and beautiful, like the finest white porcelain. She felt as if she was stabbed in the heart, and she stepped on the girl's hands hard, crushing them hard.
“Hmm…”
The maidservant almost screamed in pain, but she could feel the violence in Old Madam Song, and thought of the servants in the mansion who had been beaten to death by the moody old madam, and thought of their miserable lives as they were rolled up in straw mats and thrown out.
She bit her lips tightly and dared not say a word. In just a moment, a layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. She fell to the ground with a pale face and trembling all over, with tears hanging in her eyes and she dared not let them fall.
"You bastard, how did you make the old lady angry again?"
Aunt Qi, who was serving Old Madam Song, walked in quickly. Seeing the mess on the floor and the little maid kneeling on the ground with a pale face, almost fainting from the pain, she hurried forward:
"Old lady, please calm down and don't get yourself hurt by anger."
"You lowly bastard!"
Old Madam Song had vented her anger after torturing the servant mercilessly. She was supported by Madam Qi before she raised her foot and snorted coldly, "Drag her out and make her kneel in front of the courtyard."
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the sunlight felt a little hot on my body.
Aunt Qi felt a little sorry when she saw the little maid's bloody hand, but she didn't dare to plead with the moody old lady. She just pretended to be angry and said, "Go out and kneel down quickly."
After driving them out, she helped Madam Song sit aside and said, "It's all because of these servants who are ignorant. Madam, calm down. The doctor said you can't be angry now."
She carefully calmed Old Madam Song down, and after a while Old Madam Song snorted coldly: "What time is it?"
"It's almost noon."
"It's already this late, why haven't Zou and the others returned yet?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Qi said cautiously, "It's still early, and there's a banquet being held at Prince Cheng's mansion. Although the Madam and the Young Master are going to make peace with the young lady, there are other distinguished guests at the banquet."
"My dear, your husband is in a bad situation right now. I don't think he will be back soon if he has the chance to socialize with others. Madam, why don't you get some sleep first? I'll come and call you when the Madam and the others return."
How could Old Madam Song sleep? Ever since she was injured, every time she closed her eyes she would think of Song Tangning's face and the humiliation she suffered in Jiyun Lane that day.
"In the past, our palace was never so humble. Everyone would ask for an invitation to a banquet held by our palace, but now we have to beg Prince Cheng to mediate before we can socialize with others."
"Jin Xiu's bright future has been completely ruined. It turns out that those families who proposed marriage to him have also changed their minds. Everyone laughs at our Duke Song Mansion. It's all because of that little bastard Song Tangning."
She lowered her eyes and looked at her hands with resentment, gritting her teeth with a gloomy expression.
"Why didn't she die with her mother back then..."
"Old lady!"
Nanny Qi was startled and interrupted Madam Song abruptly.
Old Madam Song's expression froze for a moment, and she realized what she had just said. The corners of her mouth twitched and then she pursed them tightly, her brows furrowed and her eyes gloomy.
Aunt Qi's heart was beating fast: "Old Madam, you can't talk about what happened back then."
If those secrets were revealed, it would be a disaster that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan. She lowered her voice:
"I know you are angry and dissatisfied with what the girl did, but she is no longer the same as before, and our Duke's Mansion can no longer withstand such turmoil."
In the past, the young lady from the second house cared about the people in the mansion. She looked bright and flamboyant, but in fact she was very gentle and could be manipulated by the old lady and others.
But since returning from the mountain, the originally docile little girl seemed like a different person. Not only was she cold and cruel to the eldest son, she also had no attachment to other people in the mansion. She was no longer the little girl who used to act coquettishly and let the old lady scold her, and could only cry in grievance.
Nanny Qi suppressed her panic and advised, "Prince Cheng had a hard time coaxing the girl to forget what happened before, and let the young master and the girl reconcile and forget what happened before. If the old lady doesn't like the girl's claim of illness and not seeing her, then that's fine, but please don't quarrel with her again..."
"Am I afraid of her?!"
Old Madam Song's eyes were furious. After she finished speaking, she saw that Madam Qi remained silent. She was extremely ashamed and angry. She wanted to curse a few words, but when the words came to her lips, she was holding her breath and couldn't utter them.
She was indeed afraid of Song Tangning.
That evil creature is no longer the same as before. Relying on the protection of Princess Cheng and the eunuch surnamed Xiao, they can't do anything to her. Old Lady Song blames Song Tangning for being cruel and hates her for being ruthless. She conspired with the eunuch Xiao Yan to cut off her hand, causing her to lose the imperial edict and making everyone in the Duke's Mansion a laughing stock in the capital.
But she had to admit that now they were begging Song Tangning to come back.
No one dared to say anything when Song Tangning left the Song family because she had Xiao Yan's protection, but the Song family was messed up by her. Only when she came back could the outside gossips stop. Only when she repaired her relationship with the mansion could Song Jinxiu have a future.
They were the ones begging Song Tangning.
Old Madam Song was feeling extremely aggrieved, and the room was also depressing. At this moment, someone suddenly ran in from outside and broke open the door without any prior notice.
"You bastard, you're looking for death by being so reckless!"
Madam Song, who was already furious, grabbed the teacup and smashed it over. The servant was immediately dizzy and dazed. He covered his bleeding forehead and cried, "Madam, someone is breaking in to take someone away."
Arrest someone?
Who do you want to take?
Old Madam Song frowned and said angrily, "What are you talking about? Who dares to break into our mansion..."
"It's the Black Armor Guards. It's Governor Xiao who brought the Black Armor Guards with him."
Old Madam Song stood up suddenly, and Aunt Qi beside her also looked up suddenly in surprise. Before they could say anything, they heard the door to the outer courtyard being kicked open, and a moment later, the screams of maids and servants were heard.
As the armor was running, the sound of footsteps shook. Old Madam Song and her servants looked through the window lattice at the people rushing into the courtyard. They were so scared that their bodies were stiff and their faces were pale.
…
The Black Armored Guards were extremely vicious. After entering the Duke Song's Mansion, they arrested everyone they saw. At first, some people from the Song family wanted to stop them, but after several of them were beheaded, the remaining people dared not resist anymore when they saw the bloody blades in the hands of the Black Armored Guards.
When Song Qin, Song Ru, Old Madam Song and Song Shulan were all taken to the front yard, they saw Song Tangning and Xiao Yan standing in the yard.
