Mrs. Wang's mind went blank for a moment. She came to her senses and hurriedly asked the little maid to lead the way.
Everyone had different thoughts and followed behind, listening to Mrs. Wang asking the maid the whole story on the way.
"Just now, Miss Lu sprained her foot. The servant helped her to rest in the wing. She wanted to find some ointment, but before she could walk a few steps, she saw a man breaking into her wing. When the servant knocked on the door, there was a miserable sound inside. , I don’t dare to delay, I’m here to find my wife..."
The more she heard what happened, the more Mrs. Wang's heart sank.
Lu Qingling's identity is not what it used to be. If something happens to their house, even if she has a hundred heads, it won't be enough.
For the first time in my life, I felt that my birthday was so bad. I should find someone to calculate the date before the birthday party.
But now it's too late to say anything.
Mrs. Wang kept thinking about countermeasures in her mind. Should she ask someone to call their master back?
After concentrating hard, he arrived at the door of the wing.
As the maid said, the sound coming from inside can be heard from a distance.
"Be gentle...don't touch this place, it hurts..."
Mrs. Wang's heart sank to the bottom. What should she do now?
She was so anxious that she wanted to let someone break in, but she was also worried that it would not end well.
When she was hesitating, someone scolded her one step ahead.
"What are you doing standing still? Open the door first and rescue the people!"
"Quickly go and invite the Third Prince. How can we hide something like this?"
Mrs. Shen stood up, as if this was not the Wang family, but their minister's house.
She led the Wang family's servants and kicked the closed door open from the outside. Everything in the room was revealed to everyone without any concealment.
Except for Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Shen, the other ladies stretched their necks and looked inside.
Although it is better to be less involved in such things, the excitement makes people want to find out more.
"this……"
But after seeing everything inside clearly, everyone was surprised and didn't know what to say.
"what happened?"
There was no unexpected sound, and Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Wang slowly looked back towards the room.
Lu Qingling was seen sitting on the bed, with one foot slightly raised and resting on the person opposite.
The person opposite held her ankles with both hands and was secretly exerting force.
"Lu...Mrs. Lu?"
That's right, the person holding Lu Qingling's ankle was none other than Si Ning.
She had been massaging Lu Qingling just now, and the sound Lu Qingling made was also caused by touching a painful spot during the massage.
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Wang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank God, Miss Lu is fine."
Lu Qingling glanced at Mrs. Shen's face next to her and asked meaningfully.
"Of course I'm fine, I just sprained my foot. My aunt is worried about me and is setting my bones. I wonder what Mrs. Wang is doing with so many people here?"
Mrs. Wang looked embarrassed when she was asked, and her eyes glanced sharply at the maid who reported the news.
The little maid's face was pale, she was trembling with fear, and she hid aside and didn't dare to say a word.
Mrs. Wang withdrew her gaze and replied with a faint smile.
"It's nothing. It's just that the servants are ignorant and worried about bumping into Miss Lu and Mrs. Lu. Is your foot injury okay? I'll ask a doctor to come over."
"Auntie knows medical skills, has Mrs. Wang forgotten?"
Before the banquet started, Mrs. Wang told everyone present that Si Ning saved his master's life.
Now hearing what Lu Qingling said, she chuckled.
"Look at me, I forgot about this in the rush. That's right, Mrs. Lu's medical skills are among the best in the entire capital. Why should we hire a doctor? Mrs. Lu, how about Miss Lu?"
Si Ning said, "It's okay. It's just a sprain. It's not a problem. Just apply some plaster and it will be fine."
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked someone to get ointment for bruises.
The ointment was brought and a maid came forward to apply it on Lu Qingling. Si Ning stood up and stood aside.
She glanced sideways at Mrs. Shen who was standing aside. Mrs. Shen was also looking at her with a playful light in her eyes.
Their eyes met, and they all saw murderous intent in each other's eyes.
Mrs. Shen smiled provocatively at Si Ning, and Si Ning also looked at her smile.
Just then, a man wandered in.
He smelled of alcohol and ran straight inside as soon as he came in.
Xu was blocked by someone and scolded him with displeasure.
"Get out of my way, young master. My cousin said she wanted to give me a beauty, so get out of my way..."
One wave after another, everyone looked at the drunk man.
"Bold and crazy, no one dares to break into the inner courtyard of my Wang family!"
Mrs. Wang had never invited a male guest to a banquet, and she did not know this man.
She didn't know him, but Mrs. Shen did.
The moment Mrs. Shen heard the man coming out, she froze on the spot.
Her whole body felt like someone had poured cold water on her from top to bottom, and for the first time in summer, she felt a biting chill.
What's the matter?
Why didn't this person appear before, but now he appears?
She slowly raised her head and looked at Si Ning, who was also looking at her.
She mouthed and asked her, "Do you like it?"
Si Ning told her without hesitation that all this was done by her own hands.
If she can harm herself, Si Ning will naturally return a great gift to her!
When the man was about to go inside, Han Liangan arrived just in time.
He heard the muttered words from the man's mouth, and saw the dark faces of the ladies in the yard. After thinking about the words of the servant who came to report to him, he quickly understood what happened.
He crossed the crowd, kicked the drunken man away, and then walked straight towards Lu Qingling.
From the moment he appeared, Lu Qingling's eyes were full of tenderness.
She was about to stand up and salute Han Liangan, but Han Liangan raised his hand to support her and asked softly.
"Ling'er, what's going on?"
Lu Qingling looked at him and then at Si Ning before saying.
"I don't know what happened. I just sprained my foot. My aunt treated me. Then Mrs. Wang came with someone and kicked the door open. Then this person came in from outside and said... His cousin introduced someone to him..."
Han Liangan's expression was unclear. He looked at Mrs. Wang and wondered.
"This matter...how does Mrs. Wang plan to give this prince an explanation?"
Mrs. Wang was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, "Third Prince, please forgive me. It was my wife who failed to investigate and allowed this drunken man to sneak in. My wife deserves death."
"You really deserve to die. Mr. Wang is still the Minister of Rites. He can't even take care of the affairs of the back house. I don't think it's okay for him to be the Minister!"
Mrs. Wang was shocked and kowtowed several times anxiously.
"I beg you, Third Prince, to have mercy on me. This matter has nothing to do with me. It's all about my wife's negligence and inability to manage the house. I beg you, Third Prince, to punish me and not to implicate my master."
"Implicated, how can I be implicated? I will go to the palace to ask for an imperial edict and cut it off..."
"Third Prince, my wife has something to say..."
Si Ning interrupted Han Liang'an's words. Han Liang'an stared at him, his face no longer as serious as before, and asked softly.
"What do you have to say, Mrs. Lu?"
