Chapter 459 The heroic scholar and his neighbor, the pretty widow (bushi)

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

It's him?

Why is he with Marquis Zhennan?

Song Ning noticed Lance.

Lance also walked past Si Shuyi and Zhennan Hou in front of him and smiled towards this side.

The smile was as gentle as a spring breeze, and carried a hint of intimacy, which immediately made Song Ning furious.

This guy, is he here to laugh at his joke?

Si Shuyi was slapped in the face, and five finger marks were immediately left on her face.

She looked at her father in disbelief, "Dad, you actually hit me for such a country thing? I am your own daughter!"

Could it be that in her father's heart, she is not as good as such a thing?

The Marquis of Zhennan was furious.

When he was threatened by Song Ning that day, he did deliberately not give Song Ning face when dealing with the servants. He also wanted to give Song Ning a warning so that Song Ning would suffer in the future and learn to be careful.

But he never expected that his daughter would come to him directly and ask Song Ning to kowtow to her?

What if humiliating Song Ning like this ruins his grand plan?

The more Zhennan Hou thought about it, the angrier he became, his eyes cold and warning.

"Where are your girl's manners? Is this how you talk to your father?"

When Si Shuyi's clothes were tugged by the maid, she realized that her words and actions just now were inappropriate.

Although she felt extremely aggrieved, she still bowed and said, "Hello, father. It was my daughter who was impulsive."

"It's good that you know you're impulsive. You acted rashly today, so I won't bother with you since it's your first offense. But don't act like that again in the future."

After saying this, Marquis Zhennan turned and looked at Song Ning. Although he was unwilling, he still gave priority to comforting him.

"Don't blame me, my dear nephew. My daughter was spoiled by her mother and Hong'er, so she was really impulsive. But after all, she was young and was instigated by someone with ulterior motives. I hope my dear nephew will not take it personally for Hong'er's sake."

Song Ning was extremely disappointed with him, and there was a hint of depression in his eyes.

"My Lord, do you want me to just swallow my anger?"

There was sarcasm and self-mockery on his face, and it only made it funnier to see Si Shuyi's eyes filled with hatred after she was slapped.

If Marquis Zhennan really cared about him, why would he teach Si Shuyi a lesson in front of him?

Acting like this would only make Si Shuyi hate him even more. If he really married Si Kouhong, there would be one more person who would be difficult to get along with in this mansion in the future.

He looked at these principles coldly, not believing that Marquis Zhennan didn't understand.

"Moreover, this young lady kept saying that I was a relative who came from the countryside to beg for money. I didn't know that my identity was so shameful in the eyes of other people in the Marquis' Mansion."

Song Ning looked puzzled and sarcastic, "When the Marquis came to my house to tell me that the prince and I were engaged, he didn't say anything like this."

Marquis Zhennan's face tightened, and he felt a little unhappy when he noticed Song Ning's anger.

Song Ning was very easy to talk to before, why did he become so aggressive in the past few days?

He has already slapped his own daughter, what else does Song Ning want to do?

But he did have his own plan, and his eyes rolled back in a look of heartache.

"My dear nephew, you don't know that my little girl has been closest to her eldest brother since she was young. I think she is a little uncomfortable knowing that her eldest brother is going to get married, so she said something rude."

He blames everything on this and pretends to have good intentions.

"But Hong'er really dotes on her. If he knew about this, he would probably hope that you would forgive me this time. And I have already taught him a lesson. My dear nephew, please don't continue to care about it. The best policy is to keep the family peaceful and harmonious."

Another moral kidnapping.

Song Ning finally saw clearly that everyone in this marquis's mansion, young or old, was shameless!

He stiffened his neck and was about to argue, but Lance just took a step forward and stood between him and the Marquis of Zhennan.

"Your Majesty is right, but Miss Si was indeed a bit reckless today. Why don't we let Miss Si apologize to this young master and let the matter go?"

"what?"

"I still have to apologize to him?"

Marquis Zhennan glared at Si Shuyi, who reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Song Ning was also a little furious. He gritted his teeth in hatred as he looked into Lance's eyes.

[Why do you decide for me? She just wanted me to kneel down and kowtow!]

Lance turned sideways to prevent Song Ning from being discovered by the two people behind him, and with a hint of kindness in his eyes he comforted and explained.

[Miss Si is the Marquis's biological daughter after all. If you really argue with her, you will be in trouble if they fall out.]

And if he hadn't asked Fuqin to keep an eye on this place, and hadn't hurriedly found an excuse to bring Marquis Zhennan here, Song Ning would definitely not have had an easy day today.

Song Ning knew this was the truth, but he was still very angry.

It was obvious that he was in the right and was being bullied, but in the end he had to swallow his anger.

He was unwilling, but suddenly a wrapped candy was stuffed into his hand.

Song Ning was stunned, but saw that the person in front of him was smiling gently.

[Don't worry, I won't let you suffer any loss today. Do you think I'm someone who would suffer any loss? ]

Song Ning remembered that he had a hard time getting a good response from this person, and felt inexplicably relieved.

Just when he felt relieved, he felt something was wrong again.

This person can't suffer any loss, but why should he let this person make decisions for him regarding his own affairs?

Now that both sides have reached an agreement, things will be much easier.

Si Shuyi was forced to make an insincere apology, and Song Ning also said forgiveness insincerely, and it seemed that everyone was happy.

After the unpleasant meeting, Marquis Zhennan took Lance back to his study.

As soon as he entered, he looked at Lance with dissatisfaction.

"Didn't I tell you not to associate with that boy?"

He said and looked at Lance warily.

"Have you been in contact with Song and him?"

Lance pretended to be surprised, "What are you talking about, Lord? Didn't Lord tell me not to talk to him?"

He pretended to be aggrieved, "It was because the Marquis said so that I thought I couldn't do it myself today, so I had to come to see the prince."

It sounded as if he was too obedient and that was why he did not go up to stop it himself, but instead went to find the Marquis of Zhennan.

This is also what Marquis Zhennan understood.

He thought about it carefully and agreed.

If Lance and Song Ning were really having an affair, why would I have to come here to deal with this matter?

He felt a little relieved and then asked again.

"So how have you been studying in the mansion these days? Do you feel bored?"

Lance naturally smiled and shook his head.

"My quiet place is perfect for studying on weekdays. If Miss Si hadn't gone to cause trouble today, I would still be studying and practicing calligraphy in the mansion. I would not dare to neglect it and wait for the next imperial examination to try to get a place on the list."

"Okay, okay, that's great."

Marquis Zhennan believed it for the time being. He spoke a few more words to Lance and then let the man go.

Not long after Lance left, Marquis Zhennan thought for a moment and called his servants.

"Go and call the young master over to me."
