Chapter 456 The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)

The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the handsome widow (bushi)

Song Ning always felt something strange these days.

He was a little confused at first, but after two days he noticed that no one bothered him anymore and thought it was because of this.

But it didn't take long for him to realize that it was not because of this, because he felt someone was secretly watching him.

This discovery made Song Ning feel uneasy.

I really can’t stay in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion for even a day longer!

Song Ning thought to himself that if Marquis Zhennan came again, he would immediately ask him to release him from the house, and the engagement would be treated as if it had never happened.

Thinking so, Song Ning held the scissors hidden in his sleeve.

"Are the people monitoring outside still there?"

The sharp pen stroke turned into a restrained one as he made the last stroke. Lance stood up from the desk, dressed like a scholar.

I didn't expect that the master would be dressed like a scholar, playing the piano with his head lowered.

"My Lord, the surveillance personnel are still here, but I have noticed that they have become tired these days."

"Watch and observe again."

But the fact that Juanhuan hasn't left yet means that the Marquis of Zhennan is still staring at him. Lance is not a fool.

"Yes, I know."

After Fuqin finished replying, she continued, "By the way, Master, it seems that the future master has noticed me these days. Do you want to..."

"Did he find you?"

Lance looked up.

Fuqin felt a little ashamed, "It must be that I was too careless. The future young master seems to have known about my existence."

Fuqin was somewhat nervous because she made a mistake the first time she did something for her master.

"Master, would you like to come to my house to explain something? If the future young master misunderstands, it will be my fault."

She tried her best to save it.

Did Song Ning already know?

Lance thought about it and refused.

"No need, just keep doing what you are doing."

"But the future young master..."

Playing the piano with confusion.

Isn't the master interested in the future young prince?

"It's good that he found out. The Marquis of Zhennan is keeping a close eye on me. It would be better to let him come to me in person."

As soon as Lance said that, Fuqin immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes, I understand."

Sure enough, within two days, Song Ning finally couldn't hold back his anger and came to the door in a rage.

At that time, Fuqin had just gone out to do something for Lance. As soon as Lance opened the door, Song Ning pointed at his nose and scolded him.

"Okay, so it was you who was secretly staring at me. How shameless of you to be a grown man and do such a sneaky thing!"

Song Ning was furious and felt an indescribable depression.

This person looks like a decent person, but I didn't expect him to actually...

Lance burst out laughing. He didn't expect that Song Ning would misunderstand him because of the piano-playing incident.

He was about to explain, but when he saw Song Ning's angry look, the words suddenly changed in a teasing tone.

"You are so shameless? I didn't steal or rob anything, so how can I be considered a thief?"

"you!"

Song Ning was so angry that his hair almost stood up. "How could you be like this! You are actually quite handsome, how, how..."

His lips trembled with anger, and he was at a loss for words.

"You think I'm handsome?"

Lance's eyes were filled with smile and surprise.

He has never come into contact with the little prince in this world, but he didn't expect that Song Ning had such a good first impression of him?

"I-I didn't."

Song Ning's pale face turned red, and he realized that he had let the cat out of the bag.

He secretly regretted what he was doing. Why was he praising this man?

But he said stubbornly, "I didn't say that, you just heard it wrong."

After Song Ning denied it, he muttered, "Shame on you."

"Well, I have no shame."

Lance was not angry either. He stretched out his right arm, leaned on the door, and looked down at Song Ning.

"So what are you going to do? Are you going to settle accounts with a shameless person like me? Or are you going to go to the Marquis and report me, saying that someone has bad intentions towards the prince's fiancée?"

Song Ning's expression, which had been lively just now, immediately turned dull.

Report?

He curled his lips, glanced at Lance, and turned away.

"You're lucky. This time I'm just warning you. If I find you again next time, I won't let you off."

Lance didn't stop him, but just watched the slightly thin figure go back.

Fuqin just came back hurriedly with something, "Master, when I entered the room just now, I saw the future master seemed to have come?"

She just happened to pass by Song Ning and thought she was seeing things.

"Yes, I've been here."

Lance took the thing from her hand and threw her a silver coin.

"Well done."

"It's just a small matter. Thank you for the reward, Master."

Fuqin accepted the reward and came forward to make tea.

"Master, is it possible that the future master is coming..."

"I came here to relieve my boredom."

Lance thought of Song Ning's angry little face, with a hint of iron-blooded tenderness flowing in his eyes, which surprised Fuqin and made him exclaim that the master really valued the future lord.

"To relieve boredom?"

Fuqin pondered over these two words, and after a while he covered his mouth and laughed.

"I think the master is talking nonsense. The future master should be here to cause trouble."

But the master was happy, so he became the future master who came to find someone to entertain him.

"I mean, it's inconvenient for him to go out there, so isn't it a good idea to come here and vent his anger to relieve his boredom?"

Lance did not deny it, which was why he did not explain but instead made Song Ning angry.

Although the Marquis of Zhennan was a high-ranking official, his position was similar to that of Song Ning - not only did he have to live under someone else's roof, he was also not allowed to move around the mansion at will.

Song Ning doesn't seem to like going out either. He has been playing the piano and hasn't left the house for several days. Sooner or later, he will get sick from doing this.

Another thing is that Sikouhong’s birthday is approaching, and that thing will happen soon, so he has to find a way to stop it.

"Shameless, shameless!"

Song Ning returned to his room angrily and threw himself on the bed without even changing his coat.

He really didn't expect that the man was actually a...

Song Ning thought for a long time but couldn't find any words to describe it, which made him even angrier.

"Grandpa is right. People out there are all very cunning. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come here in the first place."

Song Ning grabbed the quilt angrily, with a hint of loneliness in his eyes.

He originally thought that he would have more relatives by leaving that land and coming to the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion. But now he has been in the Zhennan Marquis' Mansion for such a long time, and not only does he not know anyone, he has never even seen Si Kou Hong, with whom he was engaged.

Although the Marquis of Zhennan came several times, he always said that Sikouhong had to study and that it was inconvenient for them to meet as a couple, as this was the rule.

The more Song Ning thought about it, the angrier he became. In their place, let alone having an engagement, even if they were attracted to each other, they could make an appointment to go to the temple fair together or something. How come in this wealthy family, even if they had an engagement, they couldn't even meet each other?

"No, I need an explanation today."
