The old lady doesn't care about small things, she just wants to know this.
Yesterday Jiang Linrou came to test, and today the old lady came to test again. Si Ning felt that his guess was correct, and the Lu family was not of the same mind.
She straightened her face and replied, "Mom, of course I hope to wake my husband up as soon as possible, but it depends on his cooperation. If he wants to wake up, he may wake up tomorrow, but if he doesn't cooperate, then he won't. That’s easy to say.”
"It's ridiculous. Why doesn't third brother cooperate? I think it's because your magic doesn't work!"
Li Xutang was still worried about Si Ning beating her yesterday. No matter what Si Ning said, she wanted to get in the middle of it.
Si Ning's eyes fell accurately on her wrist, and Li Xutang retracted his hand fearfully, squeezing his neck.
"I'm not wrong!"
The old lady stared at her, "Since there is something uncertain, it's better not to talk about it outside. Although yesterday's incident has passed, you should all take it as a warning. You should weigh what you should do and what you should say."
She didn't know how Si Ning opened someone's eyes yesterday, so since it was still uncertain, she didn't pursue it further.
After getting the answer, he started beating Si Ning.
Si Ning didn't care about this trivial matter and nodded respectfully.
The old lady's expression softened a bit, but when Si Ning didn't like it, she simply dismissed her.
Li Xutang was reluctant, "Mother, are you really going to let her go like this?"
Unlike her anxiety, Mrs. Lu calmly took the tea handed to her by her servant and took a sip.
"Then what else do you want? With so many pairs of eyes staring at her, do you really want to kill her without caring about her?"
Of course it’s impossible!
Mrs. Lu cherishes her reputation, and Li Xutang knows this.
But the old lady wants fame, doesn’t she want it?
Being treated like that by Si Ning in front of everyone made it difficult for her to gain a foothold in the house in the future.
After returning home, I lost my temper quite a lot.
…
Si Ning knew nothing about this, so he went back to his room and locked the door, not letting anyone in.
Madam Lu's test this morning gave her a wake-up call.
He walked to the bed and put his hand on Lu Hanxiao's wrist.
His brows furrowed slightly for a while, and his face darkened.
It turned out to be a poison of opportunity!
This poison has been recorded in ancient medical books. The symptoms of poisoning are like those of the living dead, making it difficult to distinguish.
If the poison is not detoxified within the time limit, the whole body will fester and die.
"No imperial doctor can diagnose or treat it?"
It's hard to tell but not impossible to tell. Is it possible that no official in the huge Daxia Kingdom can judge?
What's even more strange is that this poison is not colorless and odorless.
Under what circumstances did Lu Hanxiao drink the poison?
Ning'an Hou Mansion really hides a lot of secrets!
Half an hour later, the door reopened and a maid ran over.
"Third Young Mistress, the second master will come back in the evening, and the old lady will ask you to come and have dinner with us."
Mrs. Lu has three sons in total, but she only has the second son. The old lady loves him very much.
Even her daughter-in-law chose her own niece, because she was afraid that people with a foreign surname would bully her son.
"knew."
Dinner was in the evening. Si Ning wanted to go out for a walk, but was stopped when he arrived at the concierge.
"Third Young Mistress, you cannot leave the house at will."
This was a change to put her under house arrest. Si Ning looked bad and the concierge explained fearfully.
"This is also the master's order."
The master in his mouth is Li Xutang, and now Li Xutang is in charge of the Ning'an Hou Mansion.
Si Ning did not embarrass the servant and returned to his yard.
The servants in the courtyard were whispering about what happened yesterday, "The third young lady is different, she looks a lot scary."
"It doesn't matter if she's scary, she doesn't have the final say in this family. We have to see the real master."
Si Ning stood at the door and listened for a long time before opening the door and going in.
The servants were shocked and ran to the side to work.
In the evening, Si Ning changed her clothes and planned to go to dinner, when a little maid took the initiative to come over.
"It's dark on the road. Let me hold the lamp for Third Young Mistress."
There are only four maids in the yard, except Qingjue, all of whom were arranged by Li Xutang.
Si Ning remembered this maid. She was the one who said that he needed to see his true master.
"Okay, let's lead the way."
Si Ning stared at it, and the little maid smiled and walked in front holding the lamp.
It was a straight line from the courtyard where Si Ning lived to the old lady's place, but the little maid made a circle.
"The old lady arranged to have dinner at Yuanwei Pavilion." The little maid explained.
Si Ning nodded and followed her calmly.
The two of them walked to a pavilion in the backyard, and the little maid suddenly stopped.
"Third Young Mistress, I think it will be cold when I come back. You didn't bring your cloak. You wait here for me. I will come back as soon as I go."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around hastily, not giving Si Ning a chance to refute.
It was already dark now, and no one was seen where the two of them were.
When the little maid turned around, she had a sneer on her lips, and there was a stick in her hand.
Under the cover of night, she turned to Si Ning again, and hit her on the back of the head with the stick without mercy...
Not long after, a man appeared sneakily in front of the pavilion. He looked around first, then hurriedly entered the pavilion and walked towards the people on the ground.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his waist, lifted the person on the ground, and stuffed the contents of the porcelain bottle into her mouth.
After finishing it in one breath, he moved the person towards him again.
When he saw his face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, he felt a cold touch on his neck.
He slowly raised his hand and raised his eyes to meet a joking gaze.
"Let's talk?"
…
Original flavor pavilion.
The second master, Lu Zhiyuan, was wearing a dark blue robe and was sitting next to the old lady.
He is now working as an errand in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although it is not an important position, he is still so busy that he does not even come home for several days.
When he came back, the old lady was so happy that she kept asking him questions for a long time.
"Where is the third wife?"
He mentioned Si Ning, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.
Mrs. Lu asked with a worried look on her face.
"Didn't you ask someone to come?"
Lu Zhiyuan finally came back. In order to show his status in the family, the old lady would invite the whole family to have dinner together every time.
The children were not at home, the eldest uncle was outside the customs, Jiang Linrou came, but Si Ning did not.
"I've already informed you. Maybe I was delayed on the way." The mother-in-law replied.
Old Mrs. Lu's face turned ugly, "There are no rules, we won't wait for her, let's eat first."
"The family should be in order. Mother should send someone to ask." Li Xutang said.
Mrs. Lu gave her a warning look, and Li Xutang lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
The old lady waved her hand to ask. Jiang Linrou watched the interaction between the two and pursed her lips calmly.
Lu Zhiyuan was the only one who spoke in a relaxed tone, "You might as well go and ask, just in time to ask about the third brother's situation."
Soon, the mother-in-law sent back the news, "Old madam, I sent someone to ask. The third young lady has gone out a long time ago. I don't know where she is now."
"Maybe I got lost on the way, why not wait." Jiang Linrou said.
Li Xutang snorted coldly, rarely adding insult to injury.
The old lady's face still didn't look much better and she ordered people to serve the dishes first.
Her son finally came back, and she didn't want to ruin the atmosphere.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but coaxed the old lady with some happy words.
The atmosphere became lively again, but at this moment a servant hurried in and shouted hurriedly as soon as he came in.
"The old lady is not well..."
