Qiu Ju looked disgusted and asked, "Do you want me to get rid of her..."
She was talking about Qing Jue. From the moment she came to Si Ning's side, she felt that Qing Jue's mind was too active. Keeping such a person around would be a disaster after all.
Now that he knew that she dared to betray his wife, he suddenly became murderous.
Si Ning waved his hand and said, "Keep it for a while, I still have use for it."
Qiu Ju didn't hear anything being said and put her thoughts away.
Si Ning added, "Go and ask Ming Han why Qing Jue came here at this hour today, if he didn't find anything."
Qiu Ju took the order, poured the soup in the bowl into a flower pot nearby, and walked quickly out the door.
As soon as she reached the door, Si Ning stopped her again.
"land……"
Seeing Qiu Ju looking over, Si Ning waved her hand.
"Nothing, just rest early."
When Qiu Ju saw it, she didn't ask any questions, walked out and closed the door from the outside.
Si Ning looked at the empty room and remembered what Lu Hanxiao said that day.
The grace of saving life can be changed on other terms...
But what should I replace it with?
…
Butler Wu quietly sent his daughter in early the next morning.
Although everyone in the family knew that he had a daughter, very few people had actually seen her.
He didn't want to be caught by the old lady and Li Xutang, so he did it very secretly.
Si Ning didn't say anything, just called Qing Jue in and introduced Butler Wu's daughter to her.
"This is Qiu Ju's sister. She will also be responsible for my food, clothing, and daily life. You can give her some of the work."
Qing Jue looked dissatisfied when he heard Si Ning's words.
But when Si Ning asked her to arrange work for Butler Wu's daughter, she became happy again.
His young lady knows that she and Qiu Ju are not getting along, but she lets her take care of her sister. Isn't this a disguised attempt to appease her?
It seems that her young lady still relies on her, otherwise there would be no need to put so much thought into it.
He raised his head with a smile on his face and asked arrogantly towards Butler Wu's daughter.
"What's your name and what do you know?"
Although Butler Wu is cunning and cunning, this daughter is not of the same temperament as him.
She smiled sweetly, and she looked like a little girl who didn't know much about the world.
"Sister, my name is Wu Qianqian. Sister, just call me Xiaoqian from now on."
"How dare you, this slave's name is given by the master, you dare to let me call you by your real name..."
When Butler Wu's daughter saw this show of force, she immediately lowered her head in fear.
Si Ning said calmly from the side, "Okay, it doesn't matter what you call her, as long as you can work with peace of mind, give her some of the work in hand, and go down if nothing happens."
After Si Ning finished his instructions, he waved his hands towards the two of them, and Qing Jue retreated with Butler Wu's daughter.
Si Ning called Qiu Ju again and gave instructions.
"Look at some green tangerines, don't scare the little girl."
Qiu Ju knew Wu Qianqian's origin and nodded, then went out to watch.
With her intervention, Qingju was convinced of Wu Qianqian's identity and gave her all the dirty work.
Qiu Ju came back to report, and Si Ning waved her hand nonchalantly.
"Let her be. Butler Wu wants his daughter to live comfortably, so he has to show his sincerity."
Soon the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet arrived. As soon as Si Ning got up, Qiu Ju walked in to wait on her.
After finishing dressing up, it was almost time.
"Ma'am, do you want to leave now?"
"Let's go."
She asked Qiu Ju to bring gifts, and also brought a bottle of beauty cream along the way.
Mrs. Jing'an Hou's prestige is not small. Many ladies in the capital have made friends with her and asked her to help with publicity. Naturally, the effect is remarkable.
She went to the banquet for this reason.
As soon as he went out, he saw Lu Hanxiao walking out of the study.
The two had not seen each other for a long time since they broke up on bad terms that day.
Si Ning nodded at him, but Lu Hanxiao turned around and left as if he hadn't seen her.
Si Ning, "..."
He ignored her, and Si Ning didn't intend to get involved. He took Qiu Ju to leave the house, but met Li Xutang and Lu Qingling at the door who were also attending the banquet.
When the three of them met, Li Xutang had a bad expression, but Lu Qingling smiled gently.
"Third Aunt, can we ride in the same carriage?"
Li Xutang listened and tugged at his daughter dissatisfied.
"Tell her what to do, but she may not be willing to do what you want. Come on, don't miss the time."
"Mother, I still want to be with my aunt. Why don't you go to the carriage in front and we'll meet at Jing'an Marquis Mansion."
"you……"
Li Xutang couldn't resist Lu Qingling and could only rely on her. However, he did not forget to give Si Ning a warning look before approaching.
Lu Qingling tugged on Si Ning's sleeve, looking pitiful.
"Third aunt is not as knowledgeable as my mother. She is just like that. Can I ride in a carriage with third aunt? If third aunt doesn't agree, I have to walk to Jing'an Marquis Mansion."
Si Ning didn't understand what Lu Qingling wanted to do, but he nodded and agreed.
Qiu Ju opened the car curtain for the two of them, and Si Ning got in first. Lu Qingling smiled and thanked Qiu Ju, and also got in.
The carriage was driving slowly, and Si Ning was leaning in the carriage with her eyes closed, while Lu Qingling stared at her unblinkingly, as if he wanted to see her as a fool.
With burning eyes, Si Ning could not pretend to know anything even if he wanted to. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the person opposite.
"Is something wrong?"
Lu Qingling shook her head, "I just feel that the third aunt is different."
Si Ning's heart sank, and he only frowned slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"Third aunt used to be timid and fearful, but now she is very powerful, like a different person." Lu Qingling said without hesitation.
She thought about this sentence more than once in her mind.
She doesn't understand, even if she still has the same skin, why is her behavior so different?
In the past, Si Ning would have died dozens of times in the house, but now she is not only intact, but also caught up with the Marquis of Jing'an.
After much guessing, I couldn't figure out the reason why there was such a big gap between Si Ning's front and back.
Si Ning knew that she was testing it. After all, no one would believe it if they didn't experience it personally.
She smiled, opened the curtain on the side, and looked outside.
"Humans, as long as you die once, you know that life is precious, and you also know that you can't be bullied all the time, otherwise others will take advantage of it..."
She turned to look at Lu Qingling, who smiled at her.
During the next journey, Lu Qingling no longer laid her eyes on Si Ning, but lowered her head and wondered what she was thinking.
Soon the carriage stopped in front of the Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Qiu Ju opened the curtain and helped the two of them get out of the carriage.
Li Xutang had already arrived first. Seeing the carriage stop, he came up to meet it.
"What's going on on the way?"
These words were obviously meant for Si Ning, but Si Ning seemed not to have heard them and went straight into the Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
Li Xutang was so angry that she pinched the handkerchief in her hand. She could not be embarrassed in front of everyone.
Lu Qingling reached out and grabbed her mother's wrist, shook her head at her, and the two of them quickly followed her.
The boy led the three of them to the back garden, and someone had already arrived first.
Mrs. Jing'an Hou was sitting in the pavilion in a purple brocade dress, talking to a woman.
The woman was sitting on the main seat, and her gorgeous clothes were even more noble than the Marquis of Jing'an's. It was obvious that she was of high status.
Hearing the sound, he glanced sideways. The moment he saw Si Ning, a chill flashed through his eyes.
