A wonderful birthday party ended with the government coming to arrest someone.
The old lady's expression could no longer be described as ugly. If she had been in poor health, she would have fainted by now.
She called Si Ning into the room. As soon as they stood still, a teacup was thrown out.
Si Ning ducked away, his eyes darkening.
When Mrs. Lu saw this, she became even more annoyed.
"Si Ning, you have to destroy the Lu family before you are willing to do it!"
The Lu family was all disgraced today. She couldn't even imagine how many people in the capital would see their Ning'an Marquis Mansion's jokes and hers after today's banquet.
And all this is thanks to Si Ning!
Si Ning looked at the furious old lady and asked coldly.
"Can I just wait obediently when others harm me? Can't I fight back when my mother wants to kill me?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The old lady looked away.
Si Ning did not continue to pretend to be dumbfounded with her, but simply pointed it out directly.
"Although I don't know why my mother insisted on my death, I still advise my mother that the Lu family is what it is today because of Lu Hanxiao. As Lu Hanxiao's wife, I want to break up with you because I have been wronged in the Lu family. Home, no one should say anything!"
"Si Ning!"
The old lady stood up from the chair with a sudden look on her face.
Si Ning slowly picked up the fragments on the ground, looked at them in his hands, and said calmly.
"This tea cup is expensive, I guess. With my second brother's salary, I may not be able to afford it. I heard that my eldest brother is also not well-off. My mother has enjoyed blessings that she shouldn't have. Why is she not satisfied?"
"Si Ning, what do you mean!"
The old lady was completely anxious, her face turned ferocious with anger.
Si Ning threw the tea cup fragments aside and said calmly.
"My meaning is very clear. I don't want to be your enemy. Don't always make trouble for me. The mainland will go its own way, okay?"
"If you make me anxious, the fish may not die, but the net will definitely break!"
This is not to scare the old lady, but a piece of advice from her.
She didn't want to go to that point, but if the old lady insisted, she wouldn't mind a fight to the death.
Anyway, she had already earned enough to live an extra life, so there was no reason for her to remain indifferent while others bullied her to the extreme.
She's never had such a good temper!
After Si Ning left, the old lady concentrated on the chair for a long time before calling her maid in.
"Go and fetch Li Xutang!"
Si Ning left the old lady's courtyard and went to the guest room.
Mrs. Jing'an Hou was about to leave, and Li Xutang was leading Lu Qingling to say good things.
"It's all a misunderstanding. I'll bring Ling'er to your door one day to apologize."
Mrs. Jing'an Hou's expression was still not so good, but her speech was not as weak as before. Her expression was slightly restrained and she directly rejected the two of them.
"No need, the affairs of the government are busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to entertain you two. Besides, I don't want my old illness to relapse, so I won't bother you two."
"Hey, Mrs. Luo..."
"Mrs. Luo, have you rested?"
Si Ning's appearance interrupted Li Xutang's entanglement, and Li Xutang's eyes turned cold when he saw Si Ning.
Si Ning did not look at her at all, but asked about Madam Jing'an Hou's health.
Mrs. Jing'an Hou, who was originally in a hurry to leave, was patiently talking to Si Ning.
Li Xutang couldn't say anything at the side. When she was anxious, the maid came to call her to see the old lady.
"Mrs. Luo, I have something else to do, otherwise Linger..."
"Third Young Mistress, I have always wanted to visit General Lu. I wonder if it would be convenient for you to take me to see the General today?"
Si Ning nodded and made a gesture of invitation, and the two of them left one after the other, leaving only two angry people behind.
Si Ning took Mrs. Jing'an Hou back to the room, while Lu Hanxiao was still lying quietly on the bed.
The two walked over and Mrs. Jing'an sighed.
"General Lu is young and promising, but he doesn't want to suffer this disaster. It's a pity."
He turned to look at Si Ning and said softly, "It's hard for you, guarding such a family."
Needless to say what happened today, everyone can see what is going on.
The Lu family failed to frame Si Ning, but they shot themselves in the foot. It was a joke when you think about it.
Si Ning smiled and said, "It would be great if I could marry the general, but today I have to thank Mrs. Luo for her help."
Mrs. Jing'an Hou patted her hand and sighed softly.
"I am the one who should thank you. Don't worry. When I get back, I will truthfully tell the Marquis what happened today, and I will also take advantage of the situation to beat those people."
Upon hearing this, Si Ning saluted Madam Jing'an Hou, "Thank you, madam."
Mrs. Jing'an Hou held her hand and smiled more gently.
"Don't be so outspoken. The general saved my master back then. This little thing is nothing."
Qiu Ju brought tea in and poured tea for the two of them.
Si Ning asked Madam Jing'an to take a seat. Madam Jing'an sat down and Si Ning said casually.
"This is Ganoderma lucidum tea, which has a protective effect on the heart."
Mrs. Jing'an Mansion paused while holding the tea cup before remembering to ask.
"I was so busy that I forgot to ask, does the third young lady know medical skills?"
Si Ning didn't hide anything and nodded.
"I learned some from my aunt at home when I was young. Later, my aunt passed away and no one knew about it."
Madam Marquis Jing'an also heard about Si Ning's situation. She was a concubine of the Zhenguo Palace. Her biological mother died of illness when she was ten years old. She was not favored at home, otherwise this marriage would not have fallen on her. .
Feeling love in his heart, he comforted her.
"Your mother would also be pleased if she knew that you look so good now."
Si Ning nodded. When he thought of the fate of the original owner, he didn't know how to answer.
Then he changed the topic, "Madam, we need to pay more attention to her health. It's not a good sign if she gets sick more often."
She had just checked the pulse of Mrs. Jing'an Houfu. Her heart failure was very serious. If she didn't take medicine in time, her life would be in danger at any time.
If the situation wasn't critical, Si Ning wouldn't have planned to mention this matter.
When Mrs. Jing'an Hou heard this, she just smiled and nodded without saying anything.
If she didn't say anything, Si Ning couldn't say much.
The two chatted for a while about other things, and then Mrs. Jing'an Hou stood up and left.
Si Ning sent her to the door and saw her getting on the carriage before returning to his room.
Lu Hanxiao was already leaning on the bed reading a book. When he saw her coming back, he asked in a low voice.
"Were you bullied today?"
Si Ning thought Lu Hanxiao was going to tease her again, but he didn't want to say something like this.
He walked to the table without thinking about himself, put the unfinished tea to his lips, took a sip, and then hummed.
Seeing this, Lu Hanxiao threw a token on the table.
Si Ning looked surprised and turned around to see Lu Hanxiao standing up.
"What's this?"
"Don't go out and embarrass me!"
Si Ning was speechless, and Lu Hanxiao had already walked away.
The token was engraved with the character "Xiao", but nothing else.
Si Ning didn't know what was so wonderful about this token, but since Lu Hanxiao could give it to her, it meant it might be of some use.
He casually put it in the dressing table and didn't bother with it anymore.
On the other side, in the carriage, Mrs. Jing'an Hou held her wrist and concentrated for a long time.
Si Ning actually knew that she had a heart problem. Was it because he really had great medical skills or...
