Si Ning didn't want to talk to Qin Yi, but after hearing his words, his eyes narrowed.
Seeing Si Ning staring at him, Qin Yi hurriedly explained.
"Third Young Mistress, don't get me wrong. Brother Han Xiao was kind to me and saved me once. Now that I can't repay his kindness, it will be the same for Third Young Mistress."
Si Ning wanted to refuse, but when he heard the second half of the sentence...he hesitated.
Lu Hanxiao was unpredictable, and asking him to do something was even harder than going to heaven.
If Qin Yi is willing to help her with this small favor, it can be regarded as reciprocating the favor.
At worst, when she goes back to help Lu Hanxiao perform acupuncture, she will give him some benefits as a reward.
Without thinking about it, he told Sun Yifan's story again.
However, he did not mention that he had shares in the medical clinic. He only said that he was also a doctor, so he was particularly sympathetic to Sun Yifan's experience, and because of Miao'er's request, he wanted to help.
Qin Yi was simple-minded and didn't think much about it. The more he listened, the angrier he became. When he finally heard it, he started to protest angrily.
"It's really contrary. There is still such a thing at the foot of the imperial city. Don't worry, I will definitely help you handle this matter."
"Thank you so much, little Marquis. If Dr. Sun is really released, Si Ning will definitely come to express his gratitude."
Seeing the seriousness on Si Ning's face, Qin Yi blushed and replied in a low voice, not daring to look at Si Ning again.
"I can't bear to see these injustices, so there's no need to say thank you."
Si Ning didn't say anything when he saw this and thanked Qin Yi with tea instead of wine.
Qin Yi scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a red face.
"From now on, Third Young Mistress can come to me if you have anything to do, including if someone in the Lu family bullies you."
Qin Yi originally thought that he would never have any delusions about Si Ning in the future, but after talking to her today, he rejected this idea in his heart.
He knows her identity, will not do anything, and will abide by his duty and keep his distance from her.
But I really didn’t want to go against my heart and turned a blind eye to her.
If something happens to her, he is willing to help.
Si Ning did not return his kindness and nodded with a smile.
The doctor hurried over, treated Si Ning's wound, gave some instructions and left.
Seeing that the matter was done, Si Ning stood up and left.
Qin Yi couldn't keep people around, so he sent them outside the door.
When he turned to leave, the waiter stopped him.
"Little Marquis, there is someone inviting you upstairs."
"Who?"
Qin Yi rushed to help Si Ning in a hurry, his tone showing impatience.
The waiter looked embarrassed and said, "He is a cold-faced young master. He called you up by name."
Cold-faced young man?
Could it be that guy Ning Xi, but that face isn't cold either?
Without thinking too much, he let the waiter lead the way and followed him to the box on the second floor.
…
It was too early for Si Ning to return home today. As soon as he walked to the garden, he met an old lady admiring flowers. Li Xutang and Jiang Linrou were with her.
Si Ning wanted to run away, but Jiang Linrou had already stopped her first.
"Did the third sister come back from outside?"
Si Ning had no choice but to step forward and salute the old lady.
"Mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law."
Because of Song Qingya, Si Ning had completely broken up with the Lu family.
Neither the old lady nor Li Xutang looked good, but Jiang Linrou nodded towards Si Ning with a smile.
The old lady didn't say anything, and Si Ning didn't bother to stay. She didn't have that habit, and it would be hard to find someone in a hurry.
She turned to leave when Li Xutang's sarcastic words came over her.
"I haven't been home all day, and I don't know which wild man I'm hanging out with outside,"
"The third brother is still unconscious. If there is a real problem, the grave must not be filled with green grass."
Si Ning slowly turned back to look at Li Xutang. Even with the old lady there, Li Xutang was not afraid. His eyes fell on Si Ning's tied left hand and he said something shocking again.
"Is this too intense, hitting the hand?"
Si Ning lowered his eyes and looked at his hands and smiled, "It seems that the second sister-in-law is quite experienced."
"You...I won't be as shameless as you!"
"Who can say anything about this kind of thing? I'm not the second brother. I don't know if it's itchy on my head."
"Si Ning..."
"That's enough. If you keep talking nonsense, that's your second brother."
Si Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, sliding over the old lady's dark face, and asked coldly.
"When my second sister-in-law cursed my husband just now, my mother didn't say anything. Was she telling me that there is a difference between closeness and distance?"
The old lady was stunned and half-dead with anger.
"I didn't mean it!"
"I hope my mother doesn't mean this. After all, everything in the Ning'an House is earned by my husband."
"Si Ning!"
"Mom, Aning has gone out frequently recently, probably to buy clothes."
Jiang Linrou stood up, shook her head at Si Ning, and explained to the old lady.
The old lady frowned and said nothing more, but the look on her face said everything.
Si Ning thought Jiang Linrou was making excuses for her, but she didn't want Jiang Linrou to continue talking.
"I heard that Mrs. Jing'an Marquis invited Aning to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet. I have sent the post. It is the first time for Aning to attend such a banquet since she married into the Marquis of Ning'an. It is inevitable that she has to dress up and go out to buy some clothes from time to time. That’s what it should be.”
"Jiang Linrou, what are you talking about?"
"What kind of feast of flowers, what kind of post?"
Si Ning looked at Li Xutang, and Li Xutang raised her hand to hold her temples guiltily.
After Jiang Linrou heard this, she looked at Si Ning in surprise.
"Didn't Third Sister receive the invitation? The day after tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Banquet?"
"The second younger brother and sister and Ling'er have already made preparations. In the past few days, Ling'er has gone to Jing'an Marquis Mansion to help..."
"Jiang Linrou, shut up!"
Li Xutang scolded her harshly, and Jiang Linrou bit her lower lip in embarrassment.
Si Ning's eyes swept over the two of them, and finally looked at the old lady.
"Mother should also know about this. It seems that she wants to give me a surprise. Since mother is fine, Si Ning has gone down to prepare for the Hundred Flowers Banquet the day after tomorrow."
As soon as she walked away, Jiang Linrou admitted her mistake in a panic.
"Mom, second brother and sister, I don't know what she doesn't know. I just think that we are all a family. There is no need to be too stiff. I..."
Snapped!
Before Jiang Linrou finished speaking, Li Xutang stepped forward and slapped her.
Jiang Linrou covered her face and glared angrily at the person in front of her.
Li Xutang looked confident, "Don't pretend to be innocent, Jiang Linrou, the eldest brother is relying on my father now, and your son, he hasn't had enough training in the border town. Do you need my husband?" Send him further away?"
Jiang Linrou's expression changed, and she hurriedly grabbed Li Xutang, crying and begging for mercy.
"Second brother and sister, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I didn't mean to do it, I really didn't know that Si Ning didn't know, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Li Xutang shook her off.
"Don't think that my mother and I are fools. We still want to see your son. Please be careful in the future."
She stepped forward to support the old lady, turned and left.
It wasn't until they were far away that Jiang Linrou wiped away the tears on her face, changing her previous weak and bullying attitude.
