After Minghan left, Si Ning took a nap.
If the maid in Zhuangzi hadn't called her, she might not have woken up.
All the ladies have gathered in the front hall, chatting over tea and refreshments.
Seeing her come in, Li Xueying happily asked her to sit next to her.
"Mrs. Lu, why did you sleep for so long? Could it be that you missed the general, so you wanted to meet him in your dream?"
These words attracted everyone's attention. Si Ning smiled and said nothing. More ladies came forward and asked curiously how Si Ning and Lu Hanxiao interacted with each other on weekdays.
Most young ladies have reached the age of marriage and are curious about how to get along with their husbands.
The only married woman present was Si Ning, so naturally everyone came to ask her for advice.
Si Ning didn't know how to answer for a while. How did she and Lu Hanxiao get along?
If he is angry with himself, then she will get a few more injections, right?
But seeing the expectant looks on the ladies' faces, these words also changed.
"The General will care about me when I'm sick, and make me happy when I'm in a bad mood. Sometimes he will also find some fresh gadgets for me to play with. Anyway, it's great for me."
"Ah, I really envy my wife's blessing. If my husband can treat me like the general in the future, I will have no regrets even if I die."
"Shy, shy, not married yet, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, you actually said that I..."
All the ladies were in a commotion, you pushed me, I pushed you, laughing without any image at all.
Perhaps Lu Hanxiao's awakening meant that the Ning'an Marquis Mansion would no longer be stepped on by others. Perhaps the eldest princess did not invite anyone who could not deal with Si Ning, so no one said anything to embarrass Si Ning.
The atmosphere was indescribably harmonious, except for one person who was out of place.
Si Ning had been observing Lu Qingling's reaction. She seemed to be chatting with the people next to her, but in fact she had been absent-minded. Even when others asked her, she could tell that she was preoccupied. She asked a few worried questions, but she was prevaricated. go back.
In this way, Si Ning was more sure of his guess.
In the evening, Zhuangzi prepared dinner for everyone as usual, but this time the food was delivered to the ladies' rooms.
Halfway through the meal, a note was thrown in from the window.
Si Ning picked it up, looked at it, and threw it into the candlestick to burn it.
After dinner, the maid in Zhuangzi came to tell everyone to rest in their rooms. The princess will come over tomorrow to enjoy the flowers with everyone.
Although the ladies are still not finished, it is really late and it is not easy to walk around in the village.
When I was bored, there was a knock on the door.
Si Ning and Li Xueying appeared outside the door and asked the young lady in the room excitedly.
"Want to play games together?"
There was no sound in the huge village, as if no one had been there.
Unlike the tranquility in Zhuangzi, there was already a commotion in the capital.
First, someone came to the house of the Minister of Justice late at night. The visitor claimed to be the personal maid of Sun Moran, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, and said that her young lady asked her to deliver a message.
"Something happened to your beloved, the eldest princess, Zhuangzi. The minister must leave the city quickly."
The old servant loved his daughter as much as she loved her, this was something everyone in the capital knew.
When he heard that something happened to his precious daughter, he was stunned on the spot.
Finally, his wife came out and asked about the situation carefully.
"My daughter went to the eldest princess Zhuangzi as a guest. How could something happen? Please tell me clearly."
"Madam, this is how it is. The Zhuangzi is not far from our Zhuangzi. My young lady didn't go there today because she had something to do. But I also want all the ladies to play together and have someone go to the Zhuangzi to deliver some food and gadgets. I don't want that person to go to the Zhuangzi. When we arrived outside Zhuangzi, we found a lot of wailing inside. The lady didn’t dare to hide such a big thing, so she notified everyone and sent people to rescue those ladies.”
The old servant almost fainted after hearing these words, and his wife naturally couldn't sit still. She hurriedly prepared a carriage and hurried out the door.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Moran's people knocked on the doors of the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, the Chancellor of the Hanlin Academy, and the Governor of Fengtian Prefecture.
The first words he spoke were, "Something happened to your love, please leave the city quickly."
That night, all the mansions in the capital were brightly lit. Sun Moran and the eldest princess sat in the soft room, watching the official sedans speeding past in front of them, with a smile on their lips.
"Has everything been arranged?"
The eldest princess asked aloud, and a reply came from outside the sedan.
"Princess, there is news from Zhuangzi that the matter has been settled."
The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction, held Sun Moran's hand behind her and said lovingly.
"Girl, don't worry this time, that silly boy will only be yours."
Sun Moran looked shy and stood up to salute the eldest princess, but was pushed down by the eldest princess.
"What are you doing with these gifts? When things come to an end, you will be the benefactor of those people, and that Si Ning is the sinner. This should be yours. Qin Yi is not clear in his head. As a mother, I cannot let it happen. Keep her confused."
In the dim carriage, the eldest princess's eyes shot out a cold light, and there was a hint of coldness on the corners of her lips.
Si Ning, a happy concubine, tried to seduce her son. She was simply seeking death.
Today's game is her death.
The killers outside Zhuangzi were all desperadoes she had brought from the frontier. Even if they were caught, they would not give out any useful information.
Even if the government intervenes, it will only be considered an ordinary revenge case.
Si Ning, who was seeking revenge, was seriously injured and died, and the other ladies were severely injured and disabled because of her injuries.
Of course, everything can't go wrong, otherwise the emperor will definitely order a thorough investigation into such a major matter, which will be very troublesome.
It only takes one or two young ladies to suffer, and then Sun Moran steps in to save them. It is logical that he becomes the benefactor of these people and prepares for her to marry his son in the future.
As for everyone's anger, since Si Ning died, it would naturally be passed on to Lu Hanxiao.
How Lu Hanxiao would deal with this mess, and how that person would use this matter to attack Lu Hanxiao, these were not her concerns.
All she had to do was get rid of Si Ning so that her son wouldn't be haunted all day long.
He even went to the border for this woman.
The border is cold and bitter, and there are many dangers. If you really die and become disabled, your life will be ruined.
So she couldn't just sit back and watch her son fall to pieces.
She reached out and patted Sun Moran's hand, returning to her previous kindness.
"Live a good life with Qin Yi in the future. When this matter is over, I will formally propose marriage to Mr. Hou."
Sun Moran looked excited, "Thank you, Princess Xie."
The eldest princess was quite satisfied with her performance and gave instructions to the coachman.
"Let's go, it's time for us to appear."
About an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Zhuangzi.
The maid hurriedly opened the curtain and helped the two of them get out of the carriage. The eldest princess walked in front and Sun Moran followed.
There were already many carriages parked in front of Zhuangzi, and some ministers and ladies had just arrived. When they saw the eldest princess, they had to stop and bend down to salute.
"Join the eldest princess, eldest princess, stay safe."
The eldest princess waved her hand for everyone to stand up and spoke to comfort them.
"If something like this happened in my princess's village, I am also responsible. You don't have to be polite. Go and see what's going on first?"
After saying that, she took Sun Moran's hand again and said, "Thank you for coming to report this time, otherwise what would happen to these children?"
