Once an idea is generated in the mind, it will continue to deepen and deepen.
Li Xutang felt that the only way to save his daughter now was for Lu Hanxiao to die.
So he worked hard to fan the flames, "The third brother is my mother's son. My mother is going in for a visit. Why are you stopping her? Do you have any evil intentions?"
The old lady didn't know her plan. When she heard these words, her eyelids twitched and she rushed inside.
Minghan couldn't do anything to the old lady, so in desperation, he could only tap her acupuncture points.
"I'm sorry, old lady, the doctor won't let anyone disturb you."
The old lady's old face was livid with anger, "Minghan, you are so presumptuous, please untie me."
Seeing this posture, Li Xutang looked at Ming Han with fear, and shouted while holding his neck.
"My mother also has good intentions. Why can Si Ning get in but we can't? What are you going to do?"
"I want to tell the emperor that you are plotting to kill my third brother so that you can walk around without food."
These words are just to scare people. Apart from Mr. Lu, the Lu family doesn't even have the qualifications to meet the saint.
Last time, because of a small mistake, he was demoted two positions in a row. Now he is a handyman in the household department. Of course, he has never mentioned this to his family.
Li Xutang dared to make such a noise only because of Lu Zhiyuan.
But Ming Han had no intention of giving in.
The noise was in full swing outside, but inside the house it was a different scene.
Si Ning looked at Lu Hanxiao who was sitting at the table eating hot pot and spoke coldly.
"Lu Hanxiao, does this mean you are feeling ill?"
Lu Hanxiao ignored her anger and pointed to the chair next to her.
"You haven't eaten yet. I made it according to your recipe last time. I wonder if it tastes good?"
He had an indifferent look on his face. Seeing that she had no intention of sitting down, Lu Hanxiao slowly put down the chopsticks in his hands and raised his eyes to look at her.
"Why, are you willing to go to her room and explain?"
Si Ning hurried back with anger, but after hearing these words, he disappeared without a trace and looked at Lu Hanxiao with some surprise.
"You did this because..."
"Would you like to eat? I'm very hungry."
Si Ning sat down and looked at the man beside him hesitantly.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time after their last quarrel. She thought they would never interact with each other, but she didn't want to...
"You're helping me, why?"
"Those who are close to red are red..."
Si Ning frowned, vaguely remembering Lu Hanxiao's words before.
Is he... helping others?
Just as she was thinking about it, Lu Hanxiao put a piece of meat on her plate and ate it.
"Eat quickly, do you have to deal with the people outside later?"
Si Ning, "..."
Emotions only help half the battle, right?
After a day of hard work, Si Ning was really hungry and quickly finished a plate full of meat.
Lu Hanxiao's face was full of disgust, "A starving ghost Tuosheng doesn't look like a girl."
With his mouth full, Si Ning glared at Lu Hanxiao and retorted.
"You look like a girl. You'll die after eating."
Lu Hanxiao, "..."
The two of them glared at me and stuffed food into their mouths.
After the meal, my stomach was bulging.
Lu Hanxiao asked someone to remove the things, walked to the imperial concubine chair, sat down, and said calmly.
"I will still live here in the future so that you can detoxify me."
Si Ning listened without saying a word, stood up and walked out.
She had to end the mess!
Outside the door, Mrs. Lu and Li Xutang had not yet left, and were shouting at the top of their lungs.
Lu Zhiyuan was also alerted, and Jiang Linrou also came.
Seeing Si Ning come out, several people asked hurriedly.
"How is it? How is Han Xiao?"
"The doctor said that I need to rest for a while. Mother will not come back beforehand."
"Si Ning, I am the mistress of the Lu family, Han Xiao's mother. You have no right to drive me away."
She always felt that Si Ning was hiding something from her, and she was worried if she didn't see Lu Hanxiao with her own eyes.
Si Ning glanced at her lightly, and then fell on Li Xutang.
"Second sister-in-law, how do you plan to give an explanation to the Marquis of Jing'an?"
Li Xutang stiffened and glared at Si Ning angrily.
"It's you, it's you who harmed Ling'er..."
"Lu Qingling bribed the servants of Marquis Jing'an to frame me and Marquis Jing'an. This is what so many pairs of eyes have seen. If the second sister-in-law feels it's unfair, she can ask the Yamen to resolve the case..."
"Mother, my husband still needs someone to accompany him. If nothing happens, I will go back."
She turned to leave, but the old lady stopped her.
"Si Ning, Ling'er is your niece after all. Don't you care about her life or death?"
Si Ning stared, stopped, and turned to look at the people behind him.
"Mother, there is no need to put me on such a high pedestal. The affairs of Jing'an Marquis' Mansion are beyond my control. Why don't you go and beg Madam Jing'an Marquis and see if she can be more generous and let Lu Qingling off for once?"
After speaking, he paused again and looked at Lu Zhiyuan with a smile.
"Second brother, please make a plan and don't get involved. Our family is counting on our second brother to get promoted step by step!"
"Si Ning, what are you talking about?"
Si Ning is not talking nonsense to these people. The Lu family is now in a difficult situation. It will be difficult for them to deal with Jing'an Marquis Mansion without peeling off their skin.
She wanted to see how the old lady would choose between her granddaughter and her son.
After Si Ning left, Li Xutang planned to make a fuss, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Zhiyuan slapped him in the face.
"Bitch, if you hadn't taught your daughter well, why would you have caused so many troubles? Come back with me and see how I deal with you!"
Lu Zhiyuan pulled Li Xutang's hair and left angrily. Seeing this, the old lady didn't stay any longer. She let Ming Han relieve his acupuncture points and left in a hurry.
Only Jiang Linrou stayed. She looked at the closed door and spoke to Ming Han with the corner of her mouth slightly twitching.
"Excuse me, please tell my siblings that I'm going back first. If you need any help, just go to me."
As soon as everyone left, Ming Han knocked on the door. When he heard Lu Hanxiao's voice, he opened the door and walked in.
"Master, everyone is gone."
He then conveyed Jiang Linrou’s words to Si Ning.
Si Ning was not surprised, "My sister-in-law always likes to do things to provide help in times of need."
Lu Hanxiao winked at Ming Han, and Ming Han retreated.
The door closed again, and Si Ning walked to the bed and sat down.
"Do you have a big opinion against my sister-in-law?" Lu Hanxiao asked.
Si Ning looked up at the person opposite and replied calmly.
"What's wrong, you have a good impression of her?"
Lu Hanxiao shook his head, "I am not often at home. When my eldest brother got married, I never came back. I was still the eldest sister-in-law I met later."
Si Ning has always been curious about the Lu family's big room, and it seems that he has never seen him before.
"Your eldest brother is not at home?"
"He and Heng'er were sent to border defense. It was the second brother's work."
Si Ning was puzzled and wanted to ask about the Lu family, but it was too punishing, so he didn't ask any more questions.
He yawned and lay on the bed, quickly falling asleep.
Lu Hanxiao looked at Si Ning's sleeping face, which was completely different from the little fox that usually showed its teeth and claws.
He twitched the corners of his mouth, pulled the quilt, raised his hand to extinguish the candle, and fell asleep.
A dreamless night.
Si Ning got up early in the morning and wanted to ask about Sun Yifan, but before she even left the door, the concierge came to report that someone was looking for her.
Si Ning was surprised that she was not on good terms with others in the capital, so why would someone come to see her so early in the morning?
When asked about the identity of the other party, the concierge only said that the carriage he was riding in was expensive and he did not show up. It was a servant who came to pass the news.
Si Ning thought for a while and went out.
A young boy was waiting outside the door. When he saw her coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said respectfully.
"Madam, my young master invites you..."
