As early as when she saw Lord Li's attitude towards Changqing, Song Wanyu was stunned.
Noticing Song Qianning's gaze, Song Wanyu shuddered and subconsciously stepped back, almost tripping over herself.
Seeing that Song Qianning was getting closer and closer, her fingers pointing at Song Qianning were trembling, and her voice became stammering: "You, what do you want to do!"
As she stepped back with trembling legs, she looked towards Lord Li, wanting to ask for help.
Seeing Lord Li pretending to be dead like a quail, Song Wanyu was so angry that her nose was crooked and she kept cursing in her heart.
She had thought that Lord Li had such a high status, but she didn't expect that he was even afraid of a guard. He was a complete waste.
Stopping in front of Song Wanyu, Song Qianning looked at her with a smile: "Song Wanyu, you don't have to pretend."
Her expression twisted for a moment, and Song Wanyu felt an unprecedented panic in her heart, her face turned pale: "Song Qianning, I tell you, you you you..."
You talked for a long time but couldn't say a complete sentence.
After admiring Song Wanyu's panic for a while, Song Qianning crossed her arms and said slowly, "Song Wanyu, you wanted to hit me just now, but I haven't settled the score with you yet."
Hearing this, Song Wanyu immediately became nervous and stammered in denial: "I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Chang Qing, who was standing aside, immediately turned cold when he heard Song Qianning's words.
Meeting Song Qianning's gaze, Chang Qing understood instantly and sneered at Song Wanyu: "Since you want to beat Miss Song, why don't I give you one too."
"Come here, take her away."
Seeing that the officers and soldiers didn't move, Lord Li panicked and kicked them anxiously: "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what the guards of Changqing said? Hurry up and take the man away!"
"Yes, yes."
Before the soldiers took Song Wanyu away, Chang Qing said calmly, "Thirty strokes of the cane, not a single one less."
The first one to react was Song Wanyu. She widened her eyes and struggled violently.
That was thirty lashes of the cane, not three. If she really got hit, she would lose half her life.
"Let me go! I belong to Lord Li, and you can't touch me!"
In extreme terror, Song Wanyu struggled to break free from the officers' grip, rushed to Lord Li, hugged his thighs, and cried out, "Lord Li, I know I'm wrong. Please save me. I'll be your slave."
Sensing Chang Qing's half-smile, and fearing that the fire would spread to him, Lord Li slapped Song Wanyu in the face, kicked her away, and yelled at the officers and soldiers, "Hurry and take this person away!"
Song Wanyu's screams were getting farther and farther away. Chang Qing took a look and then looked away, looking at Song Qianning beside him.
He took the initiative to bow and gestured, "Miss Song, please take a seat."
Knowing that Chang Qing was deliberately giving her face, Song Qianning did not refuse, but just nodded to him: "Thank you, Master Chang Qing."
After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked upwards.
Seeing that his previous position had been taken, Lord Li did not dare to express the slightest dissatisfaction.
After sitting down, Song Qianning looked towards Lord Li below and called out with a smile, "Lord Li."
The smile was very pretty, but Lord Li didn't even dare to have the slightest romantic thought. He just smiled at Song Qianning and said, "Song, Miss Song, you called me...what do you want from me?"
"I just want to ask you, Master Li. We are not enemies, so why do you have to make things difficult for me?"
Thinking of his lustful self, Lord Li felt even more regretful and just wanted to go back to the past and slap himself.
"I was confused for a moment, so I sealed off your house, Miss Song. Miss Song is very generous, please don't hold it against me."
With Chang Qing standing by, Lord Li didn't dare deny it, nor did he have the courage to admit it. He racked his brains to put the blame on Song Wanyu: "It's all Song Wanyu's fault."
"It was Song Wanyu who found me. Seeing her crying so pitifully, I asked her a few questions..." After adding fuel to the fire, Lord Li slapped himself again. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been deceived by Song Wanyu and misunderstood you, Miss Song."
"Really?" Song Qianning stroked her chin and muttered to herself, "Then why did Lord Li force me to admit my mistakes as soon as I arrived at the mansion? He even indulged Song Wanyu and wanted to beat me with a stick. Could it be that I remembered it wrongly?"
"If Master Changqing hadn't arrived in time, those boards would have hit me."
Lord Li groaned inwardly, but dared not show any displeasure on his face: "No, no, no, it was because I was misled by Song Wanyu that I did such a treasonous thing to Miss Song."
"If I had known that Miss Song and Guard Changqing knew each other, I would not have dared to arrest you even if I had ten times the courage."
"According to Lord Li's intention, it's thanks to my acquaintance with Young Master Changqing that I would have lost my life under Lord Li's beating."
Facing the relentless Song Qianning, Lord Li cursed Song Wanyu to death in his heart, and bent his waist even lower: "It is my fault. I am willing to beat myself with a stick to appease Miss Song's anger."
"No, I don't dare to hit Lord Li with a stick."
Waving to Lord Li, Song Qianning sighed and said with a gloomy expression, "Many people have seen Lord Li seal my family's name this time. I might get gossiped about when I return home. I'm afraid the business of the shop will also be affected."
Changqing stood aside, secretly shocked by what he heard, his eyes wandering on Lord Li.
Noticing Chang Qing's "unintentional" gaze, Lord Li felt more and more annoyed and regretful.
He gritted his teeth and said to Song Qianning, "Miss Song is right. It was my fault that caused Miss Song to suffer such an impact. I am willing to compensate you."
"How can I ask Lord Li to pay for it?" Song Qianning said slowly, "Lord Li is a high-ranking official. I am just a commoner. Even if my house is sealed and people gossip about me, I dare not blame you."
"No, no, blame me, blame me. It was me who caused Miss Song's family to be sealed. I am willing to make compensation for this matter."
Fearing that Song Qianning would reject him, Lord Li took out all the silver bills in his arms and stuffed them into her.
"This is a small gift from me, Miss Song, please accept it."
Looking at the banknotes that Lord Li stuffed over to her, Song Qianning didn't bother to be polite with him and accepted them with a smile on her face.
Song Qianning finally stopped talking about the board matter after getting what she wanted. However, before leaving, she did not forget to warn Master Li: "Forget it this time, but if there is a next time..."
After warning Lord Li, Song Qianning waved to Chang Qing beside him.
After Song Qianning's figure disappeared in the hall, Lord Li had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Chang Qing walking towards him.
"When you return to the capital in the future, Lord Li, don't forget to accept your punishment."
Seeing the sneer on Chang Qing's face, Lord Li felt his vision go dark before he fell to the ground with a thud.
