When the old lady came in, she saw two people lying neatly in the room. Lu Hanxiao was motionless as usual, while Si Ning was lying on the bed, secretly crying.
The old lady's first reaction was that if Eunuch Song saw her like this, she would have to go to the emperor to complain.
So he didn't even need to be supported by the maid, and he reached the bed in a few steps.
"An Ning, does it still hurt?"
This tone was more like a mother's than a mother's. Si Ning felt that his acting skills were still a bit weak and his performance was not true enough.
The hand hidden in the quilt became fierce again, and his eyes dazzled.
The old lady's heart trembled, and her tone became even more disgusting.
"A-Ning, it's all your mother's fault. You have been wronged. I was also blinded by others. How could I know that you are the lucky star of our family? Don't cry anymore. I will send someone to find a doctor. Let's go first. Let your injuries heal, okay?"
Si Ning looked aggrieved and said nothing, and the old lady became even more anxious.
"A-Ning, mother knows that you blame me, so you can hit me twice or scold me a few times, but no matter what, we are still a family. We have broken bones and connected tendons. Didn't you also say that at the beginning? She is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and we will be both prosperous and humiliated."
Si Ning seemed to be touched by these words and looked up at her.
Why did my daughter-in-law have her bones and tendons broken?
Is she still the person she was born to be?
The old lady thought she had heard it, and continued to coax.
"Now you are in charge of the Lu family. The quality of the Lu family is in your hands. Mom promises that as long as she is still here, she will not let you be bullied for a day. See if you can enter the palace and Eunuch Song, tell me, after all, it is our Lu family’s own business, how can we tell the emperor?”
Si Ning stopped crying and started sobbing quietly.
She pushed her body up and tried to sit up, but when she moved a little, her little face immediately turned whiter than before in pain.
The old lady frowned, pretending to be concerned and trying to help her up.
Si Ning secretly laughed in his heart, isn't it just breaking the bones and connecting the tendons?
Your own daughter is in such pain and you still drag her up. Does your conscience really not hurt?
Thinking of this, he leaned forward and used all his strength towards the old lady.
The old lady couldn't bear the strength of the two of them, and Si Ning secretly used her strength. She immediately lost her balance and fell directly to the ground.
With an ouch, the maid outside hurried in and saw the old lady lying on the ground howling.
As she hurriedly helped the man up, the old lady was furious and wanted to attack Si Ning.
But seeing Si Ning crying aggrievedly, he changed his words again.
"Is Aning injured anywhere?"
Si Ning's tone was full of guilt, "It's all An Ning's fault. His body is so unsatisfactory. He only received a hundred blows and that's what happened. It's okay, mother. I will go to the palace to beg Eunuch Song right now, even if I faint and die." In the palace, I will also try my best to stop people..."
Faint to death, try your best to stop people!
The old lady was frightened when she heard this, and then she became frightened.
Yes, she had just received a hundred blows, and her body was like this. If she really entered the palace and bumped into someone, or fainted in the palace, wouldn't this matter end more poorly?
Ningyan looked at her again and saw that her face was pale, there was cold sweat on her forehead, and her body was still hot when she just touched her.
Not wanting to pretend anymore, he didn't say anything more. He just told her to have a good rest and left.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't say anything about calling a doctor for Si Ning, nor did he ask about the condition of his injuries.
It was as if she had not ordered the beating.
As soon as the old lady walked away, Qiu Ju walked in behind.
Lu Hanxiao also sat up from the bed.
He looked at Si Ning with a worried look on his face.
"Really beaten?"
Si Ning deliberately teased him and nodded innocently.
Lu Hanxiao's face darkened visibly, Qiu Ju said hurriedly upon seeing this.
"Madam, please stop teasing the master. Who among the servants of the Lu family dares to hit you?"
Qiu Ju couldn't help laughing when she recalled the scene in the yard just now.
"The old lady asked the mother-in-law to take the madam down. The two boys from the concierge were the ones who made the arrangements. They are both madam's people. I don't dare to do it even if they don't have the courage..."
Then a strange scene appeared in the yard. Si Ning, who was about to be beaten, lay down on a chair and cried out in pain, while the servants who were beating the boards knelt on the ground in fear.
The housekeeper ordered that anyone who dared to say a word about what he saw today would have no chance of living.
The housekeeper has always had a high prestige, and coupled with the results of housekeeper Sining's kindness and power, no one will be in trouble.
Even the mother-in-law in the old lady's yard turned a blind eye to this matter.
The old lady is getting older, and sooner or later there will come a time when she can no longer make the decision.
With the ability of their second young lady, she may not be a match for the third young lady.
When the king of hell fights, the right way is for them little devils to stay away.
After being exposed by Qiu Ju, Si Ning stopped pretending and took out the hot water bottle from under the quilt.
Not to mention, this trick works anytime.
Si Ning patted the hot water bottle with satisfaction and said proudly to Lu Hanxiao.
"How about it? Is this show good? Give me some money."
Looking at that scoundrel look, Lu Hanxiao wanted to pinch her.
Just seeing her pale face made her heart soften a little.
He stood up from the couch and said something lukewarm.
"Boring." After saying that, he stood up and left.
Si Ning rolled her eyes at his back and ignored him, urging Qiu Ju to bring the rice.
Acting is also strenuous, and she can suddenly understand how hard it is for those actors.
When the food was served, Si Ning found that it was much richer than usual, and it was strange.
"Why did you do so much?"
Qiu Ju thought of her master's instructions, her eyes evasive.
"The kitchen heard that Madam had been injured, so she specially made something to replenish her health."
Si Ning nodded, "Go back and give me some reward money."
When the cook got a piece of silver, she was so frightened that she didn't know what the third young lady meant. Of course, this is all a story later.
After Si Ning had eaten and drank, he thought it was time to go see Sun Yifan. The Lu family would definitely be quiet for a while, so it was a good time to go and see how Sun Yifan was doing.
But she was injured and couldn't go out during the day, only at night.
How to get out quietly is a problem.
Although all the people in this house belong to her, there are still a few traitors.
The old lady got wind of it, and the matter became troublesome again.
After thinking about it, I thought of Qiu Ju.
She can come and go freely in the eldest princess's mansion, and it should be no problem to move around in the Lu family.
Without further ado, she called Qiu Ju in.
When Lu Hanxiao came back from outside, he saw Si Ning putting on clothes. The styles and colors were very strange.
I didn't know what was going on at night, so I asked curiously.
"What are you doing?"
Si Ning didn't even look at him and replied while putting it on.
"Exploring the capital at night."
Lu Hanxiao's brows furrowed even more, "Are you a vegetarian in the patrol camp in the capital, and are you playing with me as the Marquis of Jing'an?"
As he spoke, he gave Si Ning a look of disdain, "With all your skills as a three-legged cat, let alone exploring the capital at night, even if you step out, I would consider you to be great."
Si Ning, "..."
Why didn't anyone arrest him?
