Mrs. Shen in the carriage on the other side also thought about today's events from beginning to end.
The feud between her and Si Ning can never be settled like this.
But Sining's identity meant that it was impossible to bring someone down with just a little scheming.
So after she learned that Mrs. Wang also invited Lu Qingling, she thought of this good idea.
She first left Si Ning and Lu Qingling alone. The two were not on good terms, which she knew early on.
Although such an occasion wouldn't be too ugly, it wouldn't necessarily be amicable without others present.
As she expected, Lu Qingling walked away not long after.
So she took the opportunity to tell others that Si Ning and Lu Qingling had conflicts, laying the groundwork for what would happen next.
She bribed the Wang family's maid and led Lu Qingling to the wing in the inner courtyard.
Aphrodisiac drugs had been put in that wing beforehand, and something was also put in the tea Lu Qingling drank before. Lu Qingling was definitely going to fall for it.
Then she secretly bribed a boy who raised horses and asked him to sneak into the room where Lu Qingling was.
The medicine inside was enough for the two of them to do something when they were confused and infatuated. At this time, she was leading people to catch the rapist, and everything went smoothly.
Lu Qingling was humiliated in public, and the third prince must have been furious.
Mrs. Shen threatened the lives of the young man's family in advance and asked him to identify Si Ning. Si Ning would definitely die in this round.
Mrs. Shen thought that this round was done perfectly, but she didn't know that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind.
Mrs. Shen's hanging hands tightened again and again, and finally overturned the tea table in front of her.
"You eat the inside out, you take advantage of me, and you dare to betray me."
It was impossible for Si Ning to predict this. It was the Wang family who betrayed her.
She blamed all her faults on those people, thinking about how to get rid of those eyesores, without realizing how much trouble she had gotten into.
…
The carriage headed south, and about half an hour later, it stopped in front of the Marquis of Ning'an's Mansion.
Si Ning got out of the car and saw Lu Qingling, who had been waiting for a long time, at the concierge.
Seeing Si Ning approaching, Lu Qingling pushed away the maid beside her and saluted Si Ning.
"Third aunt."
"What is Ling'er doing?" Si Ning asked pretending not to understand.
Lu Qingling didn't hide it, "Thank you aunt for helping me today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Ling'er will remember this friendship."
Si Ning knocked on her skirt with one hand and said with a smile.
"Ling'er's words are obvious. We are a family. How could I see Ling'er being wronged? It's just that the third prince deliberately favored Mrs. Shen today. This is somewhat unreasonable."
Si Ning stopped what he was doing, stepped forward and took Lu Qingling's hand, and said seriously.
"Ling'er, although I am only a few years older than you, I am your aunt after all, so I care about you. I think you should choose a good man to marry, who has you in his heart, instead of putting you behind in the queue. people,”
"Of course... everyone has their own choice. No matter what you choose, aunt will support you."
Si Ning let go of her hand, smiled and patted her shoulder again, then walked inside in a swaggering manner.
Although Lu Qingling and Han Liangan were just a deal, this was only Han Liangan's opinion, and it may not be what he thought in Lu Qingling's mind.
So Si Ning wants to bury the thorn deeper. When the flowers mature and fall off, it will be the harvest season.
Si Ning returned to the room, and Lu Hanxiao also came back.
He heard what happened today, and as soon as Si Ning walked in, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her to look around.
"Where's the injury?"
There was anxiety in his eyes, and his tone was urgent when he spoke.
Si Ning was stunned and shook his head.
"I'm fine."
"In the end what happened?"
Si Ning sat on the chair, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then slowly told what happened today.
"I paid some attention to the Shen family's affairs earlier. I sent someone to find that nephew."
She actually knew very well that even if she broke up with Mrs. Shen, she shouldn't involve the rest of the Shen family.
But Si Ning couldn't hold it back. She hated others blindly plotting against her.
"Well done. If Han Liangan wants to protect the Shen family, he has to see if he has the ability."
Si Ning raised his eyes and looked over, "Don't blame me for ruining your good deeds. I thought it was useful for you to keep the Shen family."
It is indeed useful. The current situation is not yet time to disturb the Shen family, otherwise it will arouse the emperor's suspicion and feel that Lu Hanxiao is taking advantage of the situation to gain power.
But Lu Hanxiao didn't care, "The Shen family has to be exterminated sooner or later. There is no difference if it is exterminated early or late."
Si Ning lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes covering his clear eyes.
She sat there without speaking, and Lu Hanxiao walked over, snatched the cup from her hand, and put it aside.
"I'm tired now. I'll take you out for a walk."
Si Ning was puzzled, Lu Hanxiao had already pulled her out.
This was the first time that Sining visited the capital at night since arriving here. The scenery was very different from the scenery he saw during the day.
Si Ning is like a child who is not familiar with the world, and everything feels fresh when he looks at it.
Lu Hanxiao followed her, and would buy anything she touched or even glanced at.
Unknowingly, Ming Han's hands and shoulders were all filled with Si Ning's trophies.
Si Ning still had more to say.
Lu Hanxiao asked Ming Han to put his things in the carriage and come back, while he followed Si Ning into the crowd.
Si Ning stopped in front of an archery stall and listened to the shopkeeper's instructions with great interest.
"Ten coins and ten arrows, as long as they all hit, I will take away a hundred coins."
As soon as this was said, everyone cheered and eagerly prepared to pay.
You can get ten times the profit with just ten coins. Where can you find such a good thing?
"I want to try."
A man in a long cloth shirt stepped forward and threw ten cents on the table.
He picked up the bow and arrow, drew and aimed it in one go, and you could tell he was an expert at it.
People around were booing, saying that the shopkeeper would definitely suffer a heavy loss.
But the shopkeeper always smiled and didn't take these words to heart at all.
The man hit the target with an arrow, and the crowd cheered, but then he was not so lucky.
Si Ning looked at the arrow as if it had eyes. He was about to hit the target when it suddenly turned a corner and fell to the ground.
The man only shot one arrow and walked away angrily.
Si Ning felt bored and was about to leave, but then he saw a young man in tattered clothes squeeze in, with his dirty palms spread out and ten cents in it.
"If you really hit it, will you give me a hundred coins?"
"It's natural."
Someone kindly advised the young man, "You will definitely miss this shot. It seems that it is not easy for you to get the ten cents, but don't lose all of it."
The young man looked stubborn and said, "Bring me the bow."
Si Ning's original steps to leave stopped again.
She looked at the young man and felt like she had seen him before somewhere.
But where it is, I can't remember.
