It turned out that he was not only here to test, but also to demonstrate.
Si Ning felt that she was too soft-tempered, otherwise why would everyone be jumping in front of her?
He didn't answer immediately, but picked up the tea cup and took a sip before speaking calmly.
"Second brother asked me about this. Ever since I was wrongfully accused of adultery and she stood up to testify, I don't dare to use this person anymore."
"This girl has big ideas. Is it a temporary decision to follow Brother Tiger, or is it... an instant hit? I have to ask Brother Tiger."
Lu Zhiyuan's hanging hands clenched tightly into fists, staring at Si Ning with a half-smile.
Si Ning didn't care and looked back at him with a smile.
Lu Zhiyuan laughed out loud after a while, lowered his eyes, picked up the teacup on the table, and said while drinking.
"Brothers and sisters are really good at joking. Brother Hu is still a child. He must have been deceived and would never have other thoughts."
Everyone knows whether Lu Baohu has other thoughts or not.
Lu Zhiyuan was willing to play dumb, but Si Ning didn't point it out.
She smiled and asked, "Why is my second brother here today?"
Lu Zhiyuan was busy all day long and would not come to their third room for no reason.
Lu Zhiyuan straightened his gown and spoke slowly.
"My mother is sick. I thought I should pray for my mother. But you also know how your second sister-in-law is. If nothing happens to your brother and sister, why don't you make this trip for us and pray for your third brother's safety on the way? Wake up early.”
He even thought of an excuse for Si Ning. Si Ning had to leave this time.
But what kind of trick this is, Si Ning doesn't know yet.
She didn't refuse and agreed.
"Okay, second brother, I will set off in a few days."
"Don't wait for a few days. I think the weather will be good tomorrow. Fuyuan Temple is the closest to us, so just go there. If you go early, you can come back early."
Si Ning stared, Lu Zhiyuan smiled and raised the tea cup in his hand, raised his head and drank it all.
He stood up and warned.
"Brothers and sisters must not forget, otherwise my mother will not be able to recover if she has no one to pray for her."
Si Ning nodded and watched Lu Zhiyuan leave.
As soon as he left the yard, Lu Hanxiao walked out of the house.
Seeing Si Ning still sitting dumbly in the courtyard, he walked over.
"My second brother often travels to and from the outskirts of Beijing recently, and Fuyuan Temple is in that direction."
This was to remind Si Ning that Lu Zhiyuan had no good intentions in asking her to pray.
Si Ning raised his eyes and met Lu Hanxiao's gaze, Ming Han's previous words echoed in his mind.
While concentrating, I received a tap on my forehead.
"Lu Hanxiao!"
Seeing her furious look, Lu Hanxiao twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his hand and hit her on the head again.
"You're not allowed to go, you know!"
Si Ning covered his head and stood up from the chair.
Hearing this sentence, he was stunned for a moment. When he came to his senses, Lu Hanxiao had already left the yard.
She was left standing there in a daze.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Si Ning in a daze, Qiu Ju stepped forward and asked.
Si Ning came to his senses and looked up at the person above.
"Where were you just now?"
"My slave went to the front yard, and someone sent you a letter."
Si Ning was puzzled and took the envelope from Qiu Ju's hand. After unfolding it, he only glanced at it and stood up from the chair.
"Who sent it?"
Qiu Ju was shocked when she pinched her wrist, and she hurriedly replied.
"I don't know. When I left, the letter had already been placed in the concierge. The concierge said that someone named it to be given to Madam."
Si Ning clutched the letter in his hand tightly and narrowed his eyes little by little.
"Go to Fuyuan Temple with me tomorrow, and don't disturb Lu Hanxiao."
Qiu Ju didn't know what was written in the letter, but knowing Si Ning's temperament, she didn't ask any more questions, so she agreed.
Si Ning returned to his room, thinking about Lu Zhiyuan's purpose.
Even if Lu Zhiyuan didn't write that letter, it still had something to do with him.
He forced himself to go to Fuyuan Temple, there must be some purpose.
Apart from killing himself, Si Ning could not think of anything else.
But now Lu Zhiyuan has the upper hand, she has to go even if she doesn't want to.
She didn't want to die, and she couldn't cause innocent people to suffer.
That night, Si Ning slept particularly restlessly.
The next day it was just dawn, so I got on the carriage and went straight to Fuyuan Temple.
Fuyuan Temple is located on the outskirts of the city, not too far away. It only takes two hours to get there.
As soon as he sat on the horse, Si Ning asked Qiu Ju.
"What did you say to Ming Han?"
Lu Hanxiao had gone back to his room to rest yesterday. Si Ning added something special to the incense in the room, so that Lu Hanxiao was still sleeping.
Qiu Ju replied truthfully, "I said my wife had to go out to do some errands, but I didn't mention the matter of burning incense."
"Did you bring everything you were asked to bring?"
Qiu Ju nodded, hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously.
"Madam, why did you let your slave bring a dagger and these things? Did something happen?"
Since he brought Qiu Ju here, Si Ning had no intention of hiding it from her.
"Something did happen. One of my friends was kidnapped and his life and death are unknown. That person sent me a letter yesterday and asked me to come to Fuyuan Temple today."
"Qiu Ju, I know you are sincere to me, but what happened today is very dangerous. You don't have to follow me for a while, you will only be outside to provide support. If I still don't come out, you go find Lu Hanxiao and let him take care of me."
Qiu Ju was shocked and said, "No, madam, how can I let you take risks? I can go as long as I do. Don't worry, I am not talented, but I can save a person. I will never let your friend have any chance." accident."
"They asked me to go by name. If you go, it will only be counterproductive. This matter is directed at me. Only if I go can they get what they want."
"But madam, how can I let you..."
Si Ning pulled Qiu Ju, his expression more serious than ever.
"I'll be fine. Just remember my words and don't follow me."
In her previous life, Si Ning was immune to all poisons, and she found that the same was true for this body.
In this case, she doesn't have to worry about the other party poisoning or plotting against her.
If she goes there, she will be able to escape unscathed!
But Qiu Ju was still worried and insisted on following Si Ning.
Seeing that halfway through the journey, the two could not reach a consensus, and Si Ning's tone became a little harsh.
"Qiu Ju, this is an order!"
"But madam..."
Before he finished speaking, there was just a thud, and the horse suddenly went crazy and rushed forward.
Qiu Ju immediately supported Si Ning and opened the curtain to check the situation outside, but she didn't know when the coachman had disappeared.
"Madam, I'm going to drive the horse. You can help it."
Si Ning nodded and clasped the edges of the carriage with both hands to steady his body.
Qiu Ju went outside and tightened the reins, forcing the horse to stop.
But it doesn’t help!
The horse was frightened and ran wildly.
There are cliffs all around here, and if you are not careful, cars will be destroyed and people will be killed.
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Qiu Ju's nervous forehead. Even though she tried her best, she still could not slow down the carriage.
Seeing the carriage rushing towards the cliff, Qiu Ju's heart was shaken and when she was at a loss, Si Ning leaned out of the carriage and said coldly.
"Abandoning the horse and jumping from the carriage..."
