Mrs. Lu lowered her head and looked at the people next to her, and she understood clearly.
"Forget it, have a good meal, there are so many things happening, I really don't know what our Ning'an Marquis Mansion owes you?"
She originally planned to suppress the matter, but Si Ning had no intention of letting it go.
"Of course you owe me an explanation!" Si Ning said with a smile.
The old lady gave her a sideways glance and waved her hand for the servants to move the cage down.
She didn't care about a maid's life. If she died, she would die, but the Lu family's face couldn't be lost.
Si Ning stood in front of the cage, brushed the edge of the cage with his left hand, and said calmly, ignoring the murderous gaze in the cage.
"Mother, it is not a trivial matter that a thief has entered the Marquis of Ning'an Mansion. Whether he wants to kill me or come for my husband is unknown. I think the guards at this mansion are too lax, so why not borrow it from the government? We need some manpower to investigate this matter before we talk..."
"Si Ning, do you understand that family scandals should not be publicized?"
Si Ning was puzzled, "How could the thief's affair become a family scandal? What if that person was sent by the enemy..."
"Si Ning!" Mrs. Lu was frightened for a moment and interrupted her sharply, "He is just an ordinary thief who happened to be encountered by you. Why make such a fuss about it?"
She glanced at the servant carrying the cage and ordered, "Take the person down quickly, the noise is causing a headache."
Si Ning did not let go, "Why is mother so sure that that person is just an ordinary thief? I originally went to your yard to eat, but this maid brought me here in a hurry, and then I met the man in black. Mother felt Is this all a coincidence?"
What a coincidence indeed!
Si Ning originally planned to go back to sleep after watching the show, but a man in black came out halfway and attacked her without saying a word.
She doesn't understand the martial arts routines of ancient people, but she is very good at close combat.
Although he suffered some injuries, the other party did not get any benefits.
The Lu family came and instead of catching the person who hurt her, they let her go.
If they are talking about ordinary thieves, then don't blame her for labeling them.
She was brought here on her front legs and assassinated on her back legs. To say it was a coincidence, it was indeed a bit of a coincidence.
Just in time to talk about it!
The old lady looked worried and stared at Si Ning, but Si Ning did not back down.
She waved everyone aside, leaving only Si Ning in the courtyard.
"Si Ning, what do you want?"
Si Ning looked puzzled, "Mother, where did you start with these words?"
"Si Ning!" The old lady's face was ferocious, and all her grace was shattered. "You are still pretending to be stupid with me. You don't think you can pinch me over a trivial matter. Do you know how easy it is to pinch an ant to death?"
In Mrs. Lu's eyes, Si Ning is worse than an ant!
"It's easy to crush ants to death, but as Lu Hanxiao's wife, I cannot kill them at will." Si Ning said calmly.
"I know my mother doesn't like me and doesn't believe me, but my assassination was in full view of the public, and the maid also brought me here in full view of the public..."
"That's the person in your room!"
Mrs. Lu squeezed the words between her teeth and stared at Si Ning fiercely.
Si Ning laughed out loud, "Does mother really think so?"
Meeting the old lady's cold gaze, Si Ning smiled.
"But mother is right, family scandals should not be made public. I don't necessarily want the government to get involved in this matter. It's just that I was falsely accused of adultery last time in the government, and this time someone wanted my life. Why does mother think this is?"
Mrs. Lu's face darkened slightly and she did not answer immediately.
Si Ning continued, "Because I am soft-spoken, and because I am not the person in power in this house!"
"Si Ning, what do you mean?"
"Mother, the great glory of Ning'an Marquis Mansion is all earned by my husband. Before he got married, he gave the housekeeping rights to his second wife, but now he has it. Mother wants to gain the reputation of a good mother. Or do you want to see this mansion being tormented... and gone?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady's eyes narrowed together, and the beads in her hand spun a little faster, with no concealment of her murderous intent.
It’s the opposite, it’s really the opposite!
It seems that he has been pretending to be well-behaved in the past, but in fact he is just a wolf in sheep's clothing.
This kind of person must not be allowed to stay!
Si Ning was not afraid, he raised his head and waited for the old lady's decision.
She has gained a good reputation for so many years, and Si Ning believes that she will not be ruined in one day.
Sure enough, the old lady relaxed and said, "Okay, I can hand over the housekeeping rights to you, but I also have to give an explanation to the second roommate."
This was a bargain, so Si Ning accepted it and nodded.
"Mother, please speak."
"Brother Hu has always wanted to find a position in the army. Han Xiao is in a coma. This thing can't be done. You can run around for me. If there is a turn of events, the second room won't have too many complaints. Si Ning... Nothing can be done. This is too much!"
This was a warning to Si Ning. If Si Ning took advantage of her, she could be shameless and fight to the death.
Nowadays, the Marquis of Ning'an does not have any concubines, but they are all dead, which shows that Mrs. Lu's methods are not a joke.
Si Ning understood the truth. Her purpose was just to control the family, not to fight to the death with the old lady.
She smiled and said, "Okay, mother, I will try my best to achieve this."
"It's not about trying your best, it's about necessity."
Si Ning nodded, "It must be achieved."
Si Ning didn't care how difficult it was to send someone to join the army.
The two reached a consensus, and Mrs. Lu called everyone over.
"Second daughter-in-law, you should deal with Brother Hu and Ling'er's marriage first, and leave the housekeeping matters to Si Ning first."
Li Xutang's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Mother, what are you talking about?"
"Xu Tang, mother has her own reasons for this arrangement."
Lu Zhiyuan grabbed Li Xutang and motioned her to stop talking.
For his mother to announce such a decision in public, she must have given it careful consideration.
Either Si Ning threatened her with something to force her to do this, or the two of them reached an agreement.
He believed in his mother.
Li Xutang didn't believe it, but after meeting the old lady's warning gaze, he could only temporarily stop his activities.
After things were almost explained, Si Ning found an excuse and left.
What she asked for was achieved. As for how the old lady wanted to settle the matter, it had nothing to do with her.
She was still thinking about how to get the housekeeper rights, but the Lu family gave her a ready-made opportunity.
I really don’t know whether to say she is lucky or the Lu family is too stupid!
…
"idiot!"
As soon as he returned to the yard, before Li Xutang could express his grievances, the old lady cursed at her.
Li Xutang's eyes were red and he didn't dare to say a word, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Lu Zhi saw the situation and said from the side.
"Xu Tang, you are so confused about this matter today, so many eyes are watching!"
The old lady could still endure Li Xutang's scolding, but her husband still wanted to say that, and she raised her eyes and stared at Lu Zhiyuan.
The old lady couldn't stand it anymore and found an excuse to send Lu Zhiyuan away.
Only the aunt and nephew were left in the room, and the old lady slapped the table.
"Li Xutang, you still don't know your fault!"
Li Xutang trembled and knelt down.
"Mother, I..."
She gritted her teeth, showing forbearance on her face.
What did she know was wrong?
It was obvious that she had been robbed of the housekeeping rights, so what was her fault?
Old Mrs. Lu didn't know what she was thinking, but it could be seen from her appearance that she finally softened her heart and her tone softened a bit.
"What you did today was full of loopholes. So what happened to the man in black?"
Li Xutang looked up with red eyes, "Mother, I really don't know!"
The old lady frowned, thoughtfully, and then spoke after a while.
"Forget it, that's it anyway. It just so happens that you should take a break for a while. You should worry more about Ling'er and Brother Hu's marriage. They are all your own children. You have to keep your eyes open, you know?"
Li Xutang nodded and asked reluctantly.
"Mom, do we really have to hand over the housekeeping rights to her? If she gets the money, how will we live in the future? That person of hers..."
"It doesn't matter what she is. I'm only in charge of her temporarily. As long as her fault is found, the housekeeping rights will still be taken back."
"She is just a yellow-haired girl. She has nothing to be afraid of. Don't rush into everything. Do more and make more mistakes."
She wanted to make a few remarks, but it could be seen that Li Xutang still looked unhappy, so she didn't say anything more and waved her hand to let him go.
As soon as he returned to his yard, Li Xutang knocked over all the tea cups on the table.
She never expected that Si Ning, who was usually weak and incompetent, would suddenly bite her back.
The hanging hands were clasped together tightly, and there was a murderous look in the eyes.
"Bitch, sooner or later I want you to look good!"
