"Old madam, please rest while I go ask the young lady to come over."
The mother-in-law took the tea cup from the old lady's hand, put it on the table, and said thoughtfully.
Mrs. Lu waved her hand and rubbed her swollen forehead tiredly.
"You want me, an old woman, to invite her. This girl is incredible."
After staying up all night, the old lady was visibly haggard.
But for the sake of Lu Baohu's future, he had to make this trip again.
She went to the ancestral hall in person and saw Si Ning kneeling on the futon with his back to the door, praying with his hands clasped together.
"Aning!"
Si Ning slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at the person at the door.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Asking questions knowingly!
The old lady felt a pang in her heart, but she had to keep her smile on her face.
"I have wronged you all night, and my mother will take you back."
Si Ning stood up slowly after hearing this. When he stood in front of the old lady, the old lady saw clearly how embarrassed Si Ning was.
His brows furrowed, with a look of surprise on his face.
"What are you..."
"My mother punished me, and Si Ning recognized it."
The old lady became even more confused after saying this and looked at the old lady who was following behind her.
The mother-in-law also didn't know why, so she stepped forward and said.
"Third Young Mistress, where did you start talking about this? The old lady only asked you to copy the family rules. When did she do this to you?"
Si Ning's face changed as he listened, "You mean this wasn't something my mother had someone beat, but...?"
The old lady's eyes turned cold, what else can't she figure out?
It was obvious that someone was using her order to avenge public and private revenge.
As for the person behind this, the old lady could guess who it was without even thinking about it.
He was so angry that he was such an idiot. Everything he said to her yesterday was in vain.
His heart was spinning a thousand times, but his face calmly comforted Si Ning.
"Some servant must have made such a stupid guess and did such a stupid thing. Don't worry, mother will definitely ask for an explanation on your behalf."
Si Ning's lowered eyes were full of sarcasm, but when he raised his eyes, there was nothing but grievance.
"Thank you for your understanding, mother."
Seeing that she was quite well-behaved, the old lady nodded and gave instructions.
"Let the maid come and clean up for you. You go out and take care of Brother Hu's affairs."
"Mom, I have copied the house rules a hundred times and never got them right. I will finish copying the house rules first and then run for Brother Hu."
As he said that, he walked to the low table beside him, knelt down and got the pen.
The old lady thought she had learned well, but who would have thought that something like this would happen, and her brows immediately frowned even more.
"There's no need to copy the family rules. You go and take care of things first."
Si Ning raised his eyes with a determined expression.
"Mom, there are no rules without rules. Since my mother believes that I killed Xiaoqing and wants to punish me, Si Ning dare not violate it. If I go out now, it will make people think that I don't respect my mother and don't take my mother's words seriously. What's more... …”
She paused, looking annoyed.
"I heard that Brother Hu fell ill because of me. I, an elder, actually made the younger generation so angry. It's all my fault. I should kneel here and reflect."
The old lady thought that if she came in person, Si Ning would be fine and leave.
But she forgot, how could Si Ning be so obedient?
If she was really so obedient, she wouldn't bother her with this trip.
The old lady's face darkened and she ordered in a bad tone.
"Si Ning, I want you to take care of Brother Hu's affairs first!"
Si Ning dared to say this, so he was not afraid of the old lady's anger and continued to sit on his knees with a complacent expression.
"Mother, I understand what you mean, but I can't get over this hurdle in my heart. I feel ashamed of Brother Hu..."
Seeing her pretending to be stupid, the old lady was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said.
"Brother Hu's matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to take it to heart..."
"But that woman said that I made Brother Hu angry!"
"Si Ning," seeing Si Ning's reluctance, the old lady could only confess, "Brother Hu's Xiaoqing is still there. He misunderstood you and wronged you. Mother will compensate you."
Si Ning looked shocked and looked at the old lady in confusion.
The old lady looked embarrassed and coughed twice before saying.
"This matter was caused by mother's negligence. I punished you without finding out."
Si Ning said gently, "How can I blame my mother for this? She only misunderstood me after listening to Brother Hu and Second Sister-in-law."
This was asking Brother Hu and Li Xutang to come and apologize to her, and the old lady was confused.
"Brother Hu is ill now. I will ask your second sister-in-law to come and talk to you later."
Si Ning looked worried, "Brother Hu is really not mad at me, so why did he suddenly fall ill?"
"Improper treatment of the wound on the wrist is not a serious problem."
Si Ning's eyes flashed with sarcasm, the old lady was so tough.
She asked Ming Han to find that snake specially. One bite would cost Lu Baohu half his life.
Lu Baohu wanted her to die from a snake's mouth, so she followed his example and let him taste the snake venom.
Snakes are not humans. How can anyone tell whether they are the same snake except the person who feeds it?
The Lu family will only feel that Lu Baohu failed to frame her, and instead suffered the consequences.
Si Ning's eyes swept over the old lady's face without any trace, and he nodded lightly.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, then I have to run for my nephew."
Seeing her spitting out, the old lady secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you are willing to see Captain Liu, we will discuss the rest later.
Si Ning came out of the ancestral hall and happened to meet Mrs. Liu in the front yard.
When Mrs. Liu saw her coming out, her eyes were full of hatred.
Si Ning stopped and waved his hand to the butler beside him, who reluctantly stepped forward.
"Third Young Mistress..."
"Pull him out and take charge of a hundred big boards!"
The housekeeper was puzzled and saw Si Ning raising his hand and pointing at Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu turned pale and said loudly, "Third Young Mistress, what right do you have to order me to be beaten?"
Si Ning stared at her and smiled suddenly.
"Wouldn't you just ask your mother if you have the right?"
She cast her gaze on the housekeeper, "She is fine, but you are the unlucky one!"
The housekeeper saw her expression was sinister, but it didn't look like she was threatening, so he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Si Ning left, and Mrs. Liu went to beg the old lady, hoping that she would make the decision for her.
Who would have thought that the old lady not only did not stop him, but also gave another order.
"Just kill him with a stick..."
She didn't care whether a mother-in-law lived or died. She had to let Si Ning calm down.
The news that Mrs. Liu was killed with a stick quickly spread to various courtyards.
The servants all vaguely noticed something was different, and they all secretly thought that they must not offend Si Ning when they see him in the future.
The old lady not only killed Mrs. Liu with a cane, but also sent a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to Si Ning's yard.
When the mother-in-law came with the old lady's reward, she deliberately told Si Ning what the old lady said word for word.
"The old lady said, if you calm down, you can leave the house first."
Si Ning nodded, but had no intention of getting up.
Li Xutang hasn't come to apologize yet, so how can she be said to have calmed down?
