Si Ning entered the inner room. Apart from the old lady, Li Xutang was also there.
Seeing Si Ning, Li Xutang's eyes were a little more evasive, and instead of speaking, he walked behind the old lady and stood still.
The old lady motioned for Si Ning to sit down first, with a hint of chaos in her originally sharp eyes.
After Lu Baohu's accident, the old lady's health deteriorated day by day. Later, Lu Zhiyuan was arrested, and the old lady became visibly older.
She looked at Si Ning. She no longer had the fierceness of the past, and she looked more like an ordinary old woman.
She pointed to the tea cup on the table and said.
"Try the tea that your second sister-in-law brought me years ago."
Si Ning nodded, raised the teacup and took a sip, then put the teacup down calmly, waiting for the old lady's words.
Calling her here at this time is by no means as simple as drinking tea.
Sure enough, after the scene was finished, the old lady got to the point.
"In a few days, relatives from your second sister-in-law's house are coming. Now the housekeeping power is in your hands. When the relatives come, naturally you have to do a decent job, tidy up the two empty rooms, and entertain them well. Do you understand?"
Si Ning stared at Li Xutang, who explained with a smile.
"My brother and two nephews from my mother's side are coming to the capital to do some things. They stopped by to see me. They originally wanted to live outside, but my mother said it would be more convenient to live at home. It might be hard for my three younger siblings to help. Work hard."
"It's not hard, but I don't know whether it would be better to stay in the second sister-in-law's yard, or to arrange a separate residence?"
"Look at the arrangements. There are family members on both sides. As long as they live more comfortably, it will be fine." The old lady replied on Li Xutang's behalf.
Si Ning nodded and went down to make arrangements.
Lu Baohu was broken by his own hands. Li Xutang just used Mrs. Song to irritate Sining without any pain, just like scratching an itch. This is not like Li Xutang's character.
It's not that Si Ning thought highly of Li Xutang, but he could have given birth to a daughter like Lu Qingling, so he couldn't have been too stupid.
Si Ning felt that Li Xutang was brewing something again, but what kind of conspiracy it was, Si Ning couldn't figure out.
Because she couldn't figure it out, she stopped thinking about it.
After returning to her yard, Qiu Ju prepared some tea and sat in the yard teasing Xiaobai and Xiaoxiao.
The wolf grew up very quickly. He was only two months old, but he looked much stronger than an ordinary dog.
She had never raised a wolf before, and she didn't know how big these two little guys could grow or whether they would need to be kept in separate captivity when they grow up.
There is only so much space in the yard, and they can be raised in the backyard, but there are many people there, and it is easy for things to happen.
Si Ning thought that maybe he could buy a separate yard and put Xiaobai and Xiaoxiao there, which would save a lot of trouble.
"Qiu Ju, are you familiar with the capital?"
Qiu Ju didn't understand what she meant, but she still nodded truthfully.
"It's okay, madam, is there something wrong?"
"I want to buy a separate yard. Can you help me take a look?"
Si Ning had no one available around her, so she could only place her hopes on Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju was slightly surprised, "Why do you want to buy a separate yard, madam? Isn't it good to live here?"
In Qiu Ju's mind, if she didn't want to live alone, she would never buy a yard.
The wives of wealthy families would buy a separate village, but not a separate courtyard, both in the same place.
Si Ning couldn't explain it to Qiu Ju, so she only said, "It will be prepared for Xiaobai Xiaoxiao in the future."
"Are you still moving out with them?"
Si Ning, "..."
A little later, Lu Hanxiao came back.
He came to find Si Ning, who was just about to go to bed.
"Did you have meal?"
"You want to leave?"
The two voices sounded at the same time. Si Ning looked surprised and only nodded momentarily.
"Isn't this agreed upon a long time ago? Don't you also know it?"
From the moment she arrived here, she had no intention of staying here forever.
It was enough to live on tenterhooks all day long in her previous life. In this life, she wanted to live a more stable life.
She arranged the quilt, lay down, and said calmly.
"The poison in your body has been cured, and the three-month deadline mentioned at the beginning is coming soon. It's time to leave. You promised me and Lishu that you won't go back on your word, right?"
She lay on the bed, looking up at the person under the bed.
Lu Hanxiao pursed his lips and his tone was a little cold.
"Si Ning, there is nothing worthy of your nostalgia in Ning'an Houfu, so why did you marry in the first place?"
Si Ning stiffened and replied angrily.
"I don't want to either. I just can't help myself. Forget it. Anyway, please remember to give me the He Li Shu, lest the time drags on and it's not good for you or me."
She lay back on the bed again, and noticed that the breath of the person behind her was a little heavier. She frowned but didn't think much about it, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Seeing her sleeping so peacefully, Lu Hanxiao was going crazy.
So it has always been his favorite to shave his head, right?
The next day.
When Si Ning woke up, it was already sunny. When he got up, he found that the imperial concubine's bed was neat and tidy, and it didn't look like someone had slept on it.
Qiu Ju came in to help her get up, and Si Ning asked casually.
"What about him?"
Qiu Ju replied while helping Si Ning get dressed.
"It seems something urgent happened. The master left with Ming Han last night."
Si Ning frowned, "What happened?"
Qiu Ju shook her head, "Master didn't say, but he should be very anxious. Madam, don't worry, Master should be back soon."
Lu Hanxiao was assassinated yesterday and left the house that night. Si Ning could not help but connect these things together.
She didn't know if Lu Hanxiao had found something, or if something important had happened in the army. Otherwise, why would he have left overnight?
Lu Hanxiao went to the military camp, and he asked Ming Han to come back with a message to Si Ning. Be careful and don't go out all the time.
Ming Han added, "The general probably won't be back for a while. Madam, do you have anything to say to the general?"
Si Ning took out a dagger and handed it to Ming Han.
"Let him use it for self-defense."
Ming Han looked at the dagger with a smile on his face.
"The dagger Madam gave me last time was so annoying to the general that he didn't even let me take it with me. This time, he has it too."
Si Ning was stunned, but he didn't know there was such a thing.
No wonder that during that time, Lu Hanxiao always asked him if she had anything for him, and later he got angry with her for a while.
Feelings are because of this!
Si Ning didn't think Lu Hanxiao was a taster. He must have felt that he didn't have what others had, so he was very unhappy.
He has always been a cautious person.
Although Ming Han only said a few words, Si Ning also guessed that things were not peaceful these days.
The medical clinic is on track. With Sun Yifan and Ren Zhongyuan there, Si Ning is not worried.
So she planned to stay at home in the past few days to develop some new medicines, but the Lu family didn't give her this chance.
Two days later, someone came from Li Xutang’s natal family.
