When Wu Qianqian came back, Si Ning had just finished drinking the sour plum soup in his hand.
She couldn't stand the heat very well, but she would be more comfortable with the cold.
The sour plum soup had bottomed out, and if Qiu Ju hadn't persuaded him from the side, Si Ning would have drank more.
She put down the cup and looked up at the person standing in front of her.
Because of nervousness, Wu Qianqian tangled her hands together and lowered her eyes, but her charming eyes and silky charm could still be seen.
Although Si Ning didn't know much about men and women, he wasn't blind either. He naturally knew what Wu Qianqian had done before she came to see him.
Si Ning's eyes flashed across her face, then he looked back calmly and asked.
"What did you do?"
"Madam, you...understand, right?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Qianqian did not cover up. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Si Ning.
Si Ning frowned, a little confused.
"Why did you choose this? You will have a better future."
Wu Qianqian is only sixteen years old this year and is in her prime.
Her father is the steward of Jing'an Marquis Mansion, and she serves in Sining's house. Si Ning will definitely give her a good place to go.
Butler Wu would send Wu Qianqian to the house not only because of Si Ning's threat, but also because of this point.
Si Ning believed that Wu Qianqian might not understand, but she still chose the same path as Qingju.
Fortunately, she was not as confused as Qing Jue. Si Ning wanted to give her a chance to make a new choice.
"Butler Wu may not hope that you will take this path. Although I can't let you marry those from a noble family, but from an ordinary family, with me and your father here, your husband's family will never wrong you, and you will be forever. Have a good time.”
"Madam, I only love the second master." Wu Qianqian said firmly without the nervousness just now. She raised her head and looked at her boss Ning without evading, "I will never regret it."
Si Ning's eyes darkened, he didn't expect Wu Qianqian to be so determined.
"Have you really thought about it?"
"My slave is with the Second Master, and I am already pregnant with the Second Master's child."
boom!
The words that followed were like a boulder falling into a calm sea, causing huge waves.
Si Ning's expression was cryptic, "Does the Second Master know about this?"
"He doesn't know yet. This slave wants to ask Madam to make the decision to marry this slave to the Second Master. The Second Master treats this slave sincerely, and this slave truly loves and protects the Second Master. Madam, please, for the sake of my serving you in the past, please give this slave to me." Second Master."
Si Ning narrowed his eyes and did not agree immediately.
"I have to ask Butler Wu about the marriage. You should go back and wait for the news."
Si Ning called Butler Wu again and asked bluntly.
"You should know about your daughter and the second master, right?"
There was a lot of buzz in the house, even Qiu Ju heard about it, so Butler Wu would not know about it.
He knew but didn't say anything, which seemed to be acquiescence.
Butler Wu was not as frank as Wu Qianqian, but instead knelt on the ground in panic and begged for mercy.
"Qianqian is confused. I really don't know what I'm doing. It's because I didn't investigate and caused trouble to the lady."
"It's not that she has caused any trouble to me. If she is willing to follow the second master, I will never stop her. I called you here to ask what you mean. Wu Qianqian is your daughter. Naturally, you are better than me in making the decision on such matters. It’s more appropriate to call the shots.”
Si Ning was telling the truth. She was an outsider after all, and she did not want to participate in the marriage of other people's daughters.
But Butler Wu said, "You are Qianqian's master. You have the final say on Qianqian's life and death. Naturally, you are more capable of deciding this matter. Even if you point her to Manu, it will be her fate."
Si Ning understood what Butler Wu meant, and she stared at Butler Wu.
Butler Wu lowered his head guiltily, his voice trembling.
"Ma'am, please make the decision for Qianqian."
Si Ning said no more and asked Butler Wu to retreat.
Coming out of the courtyard, Butler Wu broke out in a cold sweat.
He saw his daughter waiting anxiously for him not far away and walked forward quickly.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Third Young Mistress should agree."
Wu Qianqian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then hesitated.
"Would it be bad if we calculated the Third Young Mistress like this? I don't think she is a bad person."
"Silly girl, if you don't count her out, neither of us can live." He reached out and poked Wu Qianqian hard on the head, and scolded her in a low voice, "You are also confused. It's not good to provoke anyone, but you must provoke her." Second Master, how can that Second Young Madam be so easy to get along with?"
Wu Qianqian did not dare to refute her father. She lowered her head and listened to Butler Wu's scolding.
Butler Wu was not too harsh. After all, he only had such a precious daughter. He just felt that Wu Qianqian's choice was not a good one.
However, the deal is already done, and there is no point in saying more.
"Just wait, Third Young Mistress will definitely make arrangements for you in the past few days."
Si Ning was indeed planning for her, how to send people to Lu Zhiyuan?
"Madam, the Wu family father and daughter are obviously plotting against you. If it is as Wu Qianqian said, and the second master wanted her, how could he not give her a title?"
"It's obvious that she can't get married and has set her sights on Madam. She lets Madam be the evil person. If Madam forces someone in, not only will the Second Young Mistress be jealous of you, but even the old Madam won't be happy either. She will definitely feel that You are using the child in Wu Qianqian's belly to control the second wife."
When Qiu Ju was a secret guard, she only did things like raising and lowering swords with her hands, but after she came to Si Ning's side, she learned to think about problems through her ears and eyes.
She analyzed angrily, wishing she could hang Wu Qianqian up and beat her severely.
Their wife was not unkind to them, even the maids who acted harshly outside, she never treated them harshly.
It's really annoying that Wu Qianqian is so ungrateful.
"She only asked me this once, and I will help." Si Ning said calmly.
Of course she knew what the Wu family and his son were planning, but she didn't mind.
When Wu Qianqian left her room, she would definitely give her some face.
Si Ning never treats his own people harshly, even when it came to Qing Jue, Si Ning didn't deliberately feel sorry for her.
But things are a bit tricky right now. How to send people to the second room is a problem.
"You go and give an invitation to the British lady-in-law, and tell her that I am going to visit her and prepare gifts."
Qiu Ju didn't understand Si Ning's intention, but she arranged it as she said.
The next day, Si Ning took Qiu Ju out early in the morning.
She went to the British Duchess's residence, and the British Duchess was waiting for her at the door early in the morning.
Seeing her getting off the carriage, he greeted her with a smile.
"When I received your invitation, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep. I looked up to the stars and the moon to have you here."
Unlike other mansions, the British Crown Palace is not luxurious.
In the early years, the old prince and the emperor fought together to conquer the country. Later, when the emperor secured the throne, the British announced that the old man had returned to his hometown and planned to withdraw from the court.
The emperor did not release him, but gave him the status of a duke, but he did not give him much real power.
Although the name is resounding, he has no power after all, and the court is much colder than that of Jing'an Marquis Mansion.
The British father-in-law took Si Ning all the way back to her yard. Si Ning followed her in and found that Qian Aiyuan was also there.
Last time we met in the temple, we had a quick meeting. I said I wanted to give her diagnosis and treatment, but it was delayed because of Han Liangan's interference. It has been postponed until today.
