Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Fang Ning's face turned pale, and he shouted, "Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about? This ginseng fruit was clearly given to me by Miss Song herself. How can it be considered a reward for you?"

Because of his anxiety, his tone unconsciously became heavier, revealing a bit of the materialism of a petty man.

Xiao Tao frowned even deeper. Although she was not smart, she knew that it would be bad for her lady's reputation to expose her without restraint.

Thinking about it, he said without hesitation: "If I hadn't introduced you to Miss today, Miss wouldn't even know that there is such a person as you in the world. You are so shameless, saying that Miss gave you the ginseng fruit personally. Don't say that Miss didn't give it to you. Even if she did, it was because of my face. How can you just take it out and show it off."

Compared to Fang Ning's character, many people in Beijing knew Xiao Tao and knew that Xiao Tao was Song Zhi's personal maid.

It was obviously much more credible for her to say this at this time.

The group of students looked at Fang Ning with contempt, especially the one who challenged him at the beginning, who even laughed out loud.

"So that's how it is. How dare you tell such a lie? It's really a disgrace to a scholar."

"I did not lie!"

Fang Ning's face flushed crimson. He walked over to Xiao Tao and said sternly, "Tell them the truth! That ginseng fruit was given to me by Miss Song!"

Xiao Tao looked at the man in front of her who had lost his composure, and felt that he could not compare to the gentle and elegant man he was a few days ago.

At that time, she was saying goodbye to Aluan and was about to return to the Song Mansion when she was accidentally bumped by a bookcase. When she turned around, she met a pair of gentle eyes.

She recognized the boy next door almost instantly. It seemed as if they were destined to be together in the vast crowd.

The two of them recognized each other smoothly, and she was busy helping him settle down in the capital. He mentioned his childhood engagement seemingly unintentionally, and his earlobes were red as if they were about to bleed in the candlelight.

Xiao Tao took a step back, the admiration in her eyes cooling down, "The lady has never given you anything, so don't try to get close to her."

Song Zhi was moved. No matter in the previous life or this life, Xiao Tao had never thought of stabbing her in the back.

Although she could have gotten away with it without Xiaotao's clarification, but with Xiaotao's words, she felt that the ginseng fruit bait was not thrown in vain.

In stark contrast to her mood was Fang Ning. His eyes widened as he placed his hands on Xiao Tao's shoulders and shook them violently. "How could you say that? Why did you lie to everyone? You...are you saying that on purpose because you're afraid the young lady will fall in love with me and take me away from you?"

With every word Fang Ning said, Xiao Tao understood him a little more clearly.

The female guard behind him stepped forward quickly and threw him out with a clean and neat pull.

Fang Ning fell to the ground, grimacing in pain. He had lost both face and dignity, and finally revealed his true colors as he glared at Xiao Tao fiercely, "You bitch, you actually lied and framed me."

Xiao Tao was so angry that she rushed forward and slapped him, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth. Why would I frame you?"

After saying that, she pulled off the pouch from his waist and said, "You are not worthy of using the things I made."

After that, he turned around and left.

The students present showed joking expressions and looked at Fang Ning with contempt.

Seeing Xiaotao leave angrily, Fang Ning suddenly realized the original purpose of his coming to the capital. He no longer cared about his face and hurriedly chased after Xiaotao.

"Taotao, Taotao, don't go. I was wrong just now. Men always need to save face when they are outside. I really didn't expect you to embarrass me in public. I..."

Fang Ning slapped himself in the face and stood in front of Xiao Tao, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have made Tao Tao angry."

Xiao Tao was startled by his action, "What are you doing!"

Seeing that his self-torture trick worked, Fang Ning slapped himself again. "Taotao, I'm willing to do anything as long as you can calm down. I just ask you not to ignore me. I really like you. You don't know how happy I was when you gave me the purse."

When Xiaotao saw his eyes on the purse, she quickly picked up a pair of scissors from a stall nearby and cut the purse into pieces.

Fang Ning didn't expect Xiao Tao to be so decisive. By the time he wanted to stop her, it was too late.

He was in immense pain, almost on the verge of tears. "Taotao, that ginseng fruit was originally given to me by your young lady. I was only speaking the truth, and my pride got the better of me. Are you really going to be so heartless?"

Xiao Tao didn't hear the nonsense he said at the beginning about her love for Fang Ning because of his great talent. Although Fang Ning's image in her mind had been completely overturned, she felt that she had indeed embarrassed him.

After thinking for a while, his expression softened a bit. "Cousin, I have an impatient temper. Whether we are distant cousins ​​or neighbors, we are not suitable to be husband and wife. I was careless before and mistook childhood friendship for love. From now on, we should just get along as old friends."

When a girl suddenly sees a man who treats her differently, she will feel a surge of love, but this feeling is just impulsive and not so deep that she cannot leave him.

Now that I have recognized who he is, I can just break up with him.

Fang Ning didn't expect that just because of such a small incident, the duck that was about to be in his mouth flew away.

He was eager to grab Xiao Tao's hand, "No, actually I have been fond of you since we were young. I am willing to tolerate your impatience. I will treat you well. Please don't give up, okay?"

However, just as his hand touched Xiaotao's collar, the female guard grabbed his wrist again without emotion and threw it away.

Fang Ning's face turned pale with pain, and he never dared to touch Xiao Tao again.

Without even thinking, he knelt down in front of Xiao Tao and said, "Tao Tao, I'm sincere to you. Can you give me another chance?"

His behavior attracted the attention of others. Xiao Tao hurriedly asked the female guard to pull him up. "A man's knees are made of gold. What are you doing?"

Fang Ning said confidently, "A man's knees are worth gold, but that doesn't mean he can't use them to win back the woman he loves. If I lose you, I won't have the heart to study for the exam anymore."

He thought Xiaotao would be touched by what he said, but unexpectedly Xiaotao looked down on him even more.

"A gentleman would never use such a major life event as a threat. Your studies were not easy, and your family sacrificed a lot to come to the capital to take the exam. Don't you feel ashamed of the time you have worked hard and the sacrifices your family has made when you say these things?"

Song Zhi agreed very much.

It seems that this little girl was quite clear-headed and did not give her body and soul to someone in her previous life. Fortunately, she successfully extinguished the flame of love in this life.

But there was one thing she said that was wrong. How could Fang Ning feel guilty about the time he had worked hard? After all, he had never worked hard at all.

As for the family’s contribution.

Thinking of the information he had investigated, Song Zhi's expression was indescribable.

This Fang Ning is truly a 'talent' picked from thousands of people.
