Several strong men held sticks and sharp knives in their hands. After hearing Si Ning's words, they all threw the things in their hands to the ground.
Si Ning was slightly stunned, and the next moment several people knelt down.
"What are you..."
"Miss, please accept us!"
Si Ning, "???"
Seeing that Si Ning didn't say a word, the strong man in the lead thought she was unwilling, so he introduced himself sincerely with his hands clasped in fists.
"We brothers did do some sneaky things before, but we guarantee that we have never killed anyone or set fire to anything. We had no choice but to do something like this."
"But don't worry, Miss. From now on, our brothers will obey your orders. If you say to go east, we will never go west..."
Si Ning finally understood and they wanted to follow him.
Several people saw her looking at them and clasped their hands to show respect.
Si Ning raised his eyebrows, "Have you never done anything harmful to the world?"
Several people hurriedly shook their heads, clapped their chests and promised, "I've never done it, I've definitely never done it."
Si Ning stared for a moment, "Isn't it a sin to hit Doctor Sun?"
Several people choked, and the leader was the first to express his position.
"Miss, we really didn't know that Dr. Sun was yours at that time. We didn't kill him. Otherwise, you would have beaten us, or asked Dr. Sun to beat us."
Si Ning listened, glanced at a few people coldly, turned around and left.
Several people looked at each other, and the younger brother behind asked the person in the lead.
"Brother, what does my aunt mean?"
"I don't know, but I know one thing. If I want the lady to take us in, I have to ask Doctor Sun for forgiveness. Let's go and find Doctor Sun."
…
After returning from the street, Si Ning returned to his house and passed a carriage.
Si Ning felt strange and asked the concierge, only to find out that Lu Baohu was back.
Since Lu Baohu went to the military camp that day, he has not returned to his home for a long time.
Si Ning almost forgot about this person, he didn't expect that he would come back today.
Si Ning was not interested in those people from the Lu family.
As long as he doesn't cause trouble for her, everything will be fine.
When he returned to Qingfeng Garden and passed the main house, Si Ning took a look and went back to his room without staying any longer.
In the room, Qing Jue was waiting for her with soup. There were too many things going on recently, and Si Ning suddenly felt as if he hadn't seen this person in a long time.
Seeing that Si Ning was back, Qing Jue hurriedly came over.
"Miss, are you finally back?"
"Why are you here?"
As soon as he heard this, Qingjue's eyes suddenly turned red, and he recounted what he had experienced this time in a low voice.
"I just stepped out of the door and was beaten with a sack. It was too dark at the time and I couldn't see the person clearly. Miss, you have to make the decision for me."
The peach blossoms outside the window have begun to wither, and the sunlight hits the fallen leaves, revealing a sad beauty.
Si Ning stared and realized that she had been here for so long without realizing it.
"Miss, did you hear what I said?"
Si Ning nodded, "I'm listening. If you know who hit you, I'll seek justice for you. But if you don't know, there's nothing I can do. After all, I'm not a member of the government, so I can't check them one by one, right?"
Qingju always felt that Si Ning had become too strange, so strange that she thought he was another person.
After this idea sprouted in my mind, I couldn't get rid of it.
Although she spent very little time with Si Ning these days, it was enough for her to notice something was wrong.
I was lost in thought, and when I came back to my senses, I found that I was behind the pond, and there was no one around.
Turning around to walk back, he bumped into someone and was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
As soon as his legs bent, his arms were grabbed and his hands were brushed.
Qing Jue was shocked and looked up at the person opposite, her little face flushed red.
"Young Master...Young Master..."
"Sister Qingju, are your hands so slippery?"
Lu Baohu took Qing Jue's hand and smelled it at the tip of his nose, his face full of anger.
Qing Ju's body trembled slightly and he secretly looked at Lu Baohu.
She was scared and surprised at the same time. She didn't know what Lu Baohu meant when he suddenly stopped her, but she also hoped that his thoughts would be the same as hers.
Although Lu Baohu is young, he has many experiences.
Seeing that Qing Jue was still trying to talk, he smiled even more obscenely and raised his hand to touch her face.
Qingju turned his head to avoid it, but the tips of his exposed ears were red and bleeding.
When Lu Baohu saw it, he opened his mouth and bit it without hesitation.
Qingju's body trembled again, but this time the trembling was different.
"Young Master..."
The numbness on her body made her forget to resist, and her words became more like an invitation.
Lu Baohu no longer restrained himself, pulled Qing Jue behind the rockery, and used his hands and feet on her body.
Afterwards, Qing Jue blushed and wanted to nestle in Lu Baohu's arms, but was pushed away by the latter.
She was slightly stunned and looked at the person wearing the clothes with red eyes.
"Young Master, what are you doing..."
"Sister Qingju, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's true that your master and I are incompatible. If you follow me, your good master won't know how to deal with me!"
Qingju listened, raised his hand and grabbed Lu Baohu, speaking affectionately.
"Young master, I can't. I've given Qingjue's body to you. You can't let me go. You and the master begged me. She doesn't like me now and won't embarrass you."
Naturally, he would not embarrass Lu Baohu. Even if he valued Qingju, Si Ning would not block his way.
But the problem is that it's not that Si Ning wants to stop it, it's that Lu Baohu doesn't want Qingju at all.
He lowered his eyes to look at the person below him, raised his hand to hook her chin, and said with a slight smile.
"If you want to follow me, you have to submit a certificate of submission, don't you think?"
…
Si Ning went out early and came back late these days, either to go to Jing'an Marquis Mansion or to see Sun Yifan. He returned home very late every day.
What warmed her heart was that no matter how late she came back, the puppy and Qiu Ju would be waiting for her.
Si Ning has never felt the warmth of home. She has no relatives and few friends.
But when I came here, everything seemed to have changed.
Qiu Ju handed over the warm meal, and the puppy nestled in her arms and ate with her.
Qiu Ju stood aside and looked at the man and the dog with a smile, and would chat with Si Ning from time to time.
The atmosphere was extremely warm, and Si Ning regarded Qiu Ju and the puppy as relatives.
When I see them every day, no matter how tired I am, I feel instantly better.
The days passed. Today, Sining came back earlier than usual. He went to the street to buy a lot of food and planned to make a barbecue for Qiu Ju.
As a result, as soon as she entered the yard, she noticed something was not right. When she returned home, she hurriedly greeted her when she came back.
"Madam, your dog...is missing..."
Si Ning frowned, "Isn't Qiu Ju watching? What's going on?"
"Qiu Ju left for a while, and when she came back, the dog was gone. She went out to look for it with them. We were afraid that you would be worried, so we stayed and waited for you."
The puppy is only one month old and doesn’t run around.
If it disappears, there is only one possibility: someone took it away.
But what’s the use of taking away a puppy?
Just as he was thinking about the sound of footsteps behind him, a little maid walked in.
"Third Young Mistress, the old lady asked you to come over."
Si Ning didn't know what kind of monster the old lady wanted to be, so she refused directly.
"Tell mother, I have something to do now..."
"Third Young Mistress, the old lady has something very important to ask you. It's about that puppy..."
Si Ning paused, took a moment to look back at the little maid.
The little maid didn't dodge, she turned around and walked away.
Hui Huihui listened on the sidelines and hurriedly stepped forward to speak.
"Madam, let's wait until the master comes back."
"No need, I'll come back as soon as I go. Just ask Qiu Ju to wait for me in the house when she comes back."
She walked out, and the little maid was waiting for her outside.
Seeing her alone, he smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
She walked in front, with Si Ning following behind, going around and around and finally stopping in front of Lu Baohu's yard.
"Third Young Mistress, here we are."
Si Ning looked over, and the little maid didn't dodge her eyes. She stretched out her hand to signal Si Ning to come in.
Si Ning's eyes darkened. Before, she thought that as long as the Lu family didn't provoke her, she would stay away from them, but now it seemed like that was no longer possible.
She walked in, and the door behind her was closed from the outside.
Si Ning didn't care. He walked a few steps forward and stopped. He saw Lu Baohu sitting on a low stool in the middle.
There was a fire in front of him, and something was roasting, emitting bursts of aroma.
Hearing the footsteps, Lu Baohu did not look back, but smiled and called Si Ning over.
"Third aunt, come here quickly. I'll cook something delicious for you. See if you like it?"
