It was not unreasonable for the old lady to like Lu Qingling. Apart from the Taoist priest's words, she understood the old lady's thoughts best.
The old lady clapped her hand happily and told her about Si Ning asking her for 10,000 taels of silver notes to do something for the Lu family.
Li Xutang didn't expect that there would be such a trouble, so he immediately stopped letting his son make trouble.
Nothing is more important than your son's future.
But Lu Baohu didn't care at all, "Since I know that Lieutenant Liu can do it, just ask my father to give him instructions and send him away with some money. Why do you keep Si Ning?"
"Kill that Si Ning now!"
He said through gritted teeth, obviously hating Si Ning.
The old lady was quite helpless, so Lu Qingling answered on her behalf.
"Brother, if my father could do it, he would have done it a long time ago. Obviously the other party only cares about the third uncle's face, so he has to ask the third aunt to handle this matter."
The old lady nodded, "Ling'er is right. It's not that your father hasn't been looking for Captain Liu, but he has a very tough attitude. He doesn't want to let go this time. It seems he's doing it for your third uncle's sake." of."
"But let Xiao Qing die in such a mysterious way?"
"What's the point of being in the army? I don't want to go. I want Si Ning to pay for Xiao Qing's life!"
"Nonsense!" the old lady scolded.
She had never blushed at Lu Baohu, and this was the first time she used such a serious tone.
Lu Baohu was stunned immediately, holding his broken hand angrily.
The old lady looked at it, feeling distressed and annoyed.
Li Xutang hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "You kid, didn't the Lu family's success depend on military merit? As long as you can make a name for yourself in the military, will we still have to watch your third uncle's family live in the future? You are so ignorant. ?”
"Why don't you apologize to your grandmother quickly!"
Lu Baohu wanted to say that even if they didn't march into the army, they wouldn't have to look at the eyes of the living dead to live their lives.
But before he could say anything, Li Xutang nudged him with his elbow, and he swallowed it without saying anything.
Xiaoqing died, Si Ning was only punished, and Lu Baohu had nowhere to vent his anger.
Returning to his own yard, he kicked everyone out and was alone in a daze holding the cage in front of Xiaoqing. But as he stayed there, he noticed something was wrong.
Uncertainly, he opened the cage and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Xiao Qing!"
There was a green snake the same size as Xiao Qing hovering in the cage. The green snake spit out its core at him.
Lu Baohu was so happy that he shouted.
This sound attracted the servants who were waiting for him. The servants rushed over and saw Lu Baohu hugging the cage and calling Xiaoqing.
The next moment, "Xiao Qing" rushed out and punched Lu Baohu's neck...
…
On the other side, everyone left, but Li Xutang stayed.
The old lady just took out 10,000 taels to pave the way for her son. Naturally, she wanted to stay for a while to show off. The old lady happened to have something to tell her.
"Keep an eye on Si Ning during this period, make sure she handles Brother Hu's affairs, and give Brother Hu a little more attention. He is about to enter the army, so he can't be so childish anymore."
Li Xutang naturally responded to what the old lady said at this moment, and obeyed obediently.
The old lady finally felt better and said again.
"Ling'er's marriage will also be put on the agenda. I think the eldest young master of Jing'an Marquis Mansion is very good. He is a direct descendant, and his mother is the head of the county. He has a high status. There must be a lot of people coming to inquire. Do you want to hurry up and find out?"
When talking about his daughter's marriage, Li Xutang looked sad.
"Of course I know about it, but after I submitted several posts, Mrs. Jing'an Marquis excused herself by saying she was not feeling well. Obviously, she didn't give our Ning'an Marquis Mansion any face."
The old lady frowned, "After all, we are the ones who have reached a high level. I will find an excuse to ask Mrs. Jing'an Hou to come out and sit down later."
Mrs. Jing'an Hou doesn't have to give face to Li Xutang, but she, an old lady, still has to give her face.
She wanted to use this old face to get a good marriage for her granddaughter, which shows that the old lady is really good to her second wife.
When Li Xutang heard this, he smiled and nodded, "The fifth day of next month is my mother's birthday. I will send a message to Marquis Jing'an then. It's hard for them to refuse."
"Before that, let's settle Brother Hu's affairs..." It's also best to get rid of Si Ning before that.
"The old lady is not well..."
Before the words were finished, the servants hurried in and the old lady's scolding words had not been uttered, but she heard the servants speaking hurriedly.
"The young master was bitten by Xiao Qing and passed out from poison!"
"What!"
…
Ancestral hall.
Si Ning was enjoying the snacks when he sneezed twice.
"Madam, do you need a quilt for you?" Ming Han asked.
As soon as something happened to Si Ning, Ming Han came.
It's not that he has a crush on Si Ning, it's just that Lu Hanxiao's life is in Si Ning's hands and nothing can happen to her.
Si Ning waved his hand nonchalantly, "Have you arranged everything I asked you to do?"
Ming Han nodded, "Madam, don't worry, there will be results tonight."
"Okay, you go back first, and remember to ask Hui Huihui to take your master to bask in the sun."
Ming Han noted it down and left in a flash.
Si Ning looked at his disappearing back and felt envious.
When could she have such powerful kung fu and come and go without a trace?
At that time, she wanted to talk about Fu and Li Shu, so she ran away in a flash.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sound outside the door, followed by a conversation.
Si Ning stared and hid the food that Ming Han had brought. The next moment, the door was pushed open a gap, and Jiang Linrou's figure appeared.
"Aning."
As soon as Jiang Linrou came in, she stuffed two steamed buns into Si Ning's arms.
"Xutang is keeping a close eye on you. You can make do with it first. I'll give you something else later."
"Why are you here, sister-in-law?"
Si Ning put the steamed bun aside and asked calmly.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Linrou looked distressed.
"It's all because my sister-in-law is incompetent and can't protect you. Stop being angry with your second wife. If you go back and apologize to your mother and Brother Hu, you will suffer less."
Si Ning said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?"
"An Ning," Jiang Linrou took her arm and persuaded her earnestly, "I know your temper, but you have to bow your head under the eaves, unless Han Xiao makes the decision for you, but Han Xiao..."
She stared at Si Ning and lowered her voice a little.
"How about you wake up Han Xiao and let him help you!"
Si Ning frowned and stared at Jiang Linrou, who smiled awkwardly.
"Sister-in-law is also worried about you."
Si Ning nodded, "I certainly know what my sister-in-law wants, but have you forgotten what I said to my sister-in-law last time?"
Jiang Linrou looked at it and said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law is also concerned and confused."
She leaned closer to Si Ning and whispered, "I heard them saying that they will get rid of you after you finish the job!"
"Aning, what did you promise them to do?"
