Wu Qianqian looked surprised, obviously not expecting Si Ning to ask such a question.
She had always envied Si Ning's calmness and calculation. She thought that everyone knew about this deal, but she didn't expect that Si Ning would ask such a question.
In an instant, she understood again, and her expression was a little moved.
"Third Young Mistress, Miao'er has a low status and dare not think anything wrong. Miao'er has had no mother since she was a child. She is very envious of others who have mothers who love her. They all call me a wild child and a motherless child. But next to Mrs. Yang Only then did I feel what my mother's love felt like. Mrs. Yang was sincere to me, and I, Miao'er, was ashamed of her love for her. Miao'er was just a housekeeper's daughter, and I had other thoughts when I accepted her as my mother. Miao'er didn't Don’t dare to think otherwise.”
Si Ning looked at Miao'er, his eyes flashing.
She knew that Miao'er might not understand what she meant, but she did understand but said this because she wanted to put herself in a very low position and win sympathy.
Si Ning was not afraid of her being scheming, but he was afraid that she would be complacent and get carried away.
Although Mrs. Yang's status is not high, the relationship between the Yang family and the British government is destined to be no ordinary family.
What's more, the Yang family is not an ordinary family.
Wu Qianqian knew that she was not worthy, and she explained why. Si Ning would not not help her, not to mention that this was Mrs. Yang's wish.
The reason why he asked this question was because Si Ning wanted to test Wu Qianqian's thoughts and give her a few points along the way.
"It's good that you know your identity. Mrs. Yang is soft-tempered and has some compassion for others. But I'm different. I sent you to the Yang Mansion, and naturally I won't let you do whatever you want. If you dare to treat Mrs. Yang If Mrs. Qian does anything that hurts their hearts, I will never be lenient."
Wu Qianqian nodded timidly and tidied her hair with lingering fear.
The two were talking inside, while Qiu Ju was waiting outside the door.
Li Xutang came over to talk to her, "Have a nice day, why are you waiting here, go to the front hall for a wedding drink."
Qiu Ju coldly refused, but Li Xutang still persuaded her.
"Although you are a maid in the house, you have been taking care of your third brother and sister for a long time. Wu Qianqian and you are serving her in her room. She won't blame you if you have a glass of wedding wine."
Seeing that Qiu Ju still didn't understand, Li Xutang smiled and stepped forward to hold her.
"On such a festive day, all the maids in the house have gone out to play. To be honest, your wife was in the room with you at some time. There will be ladies coming in and out for a while. What are you talking about waiting here? Your wife won’t blame you.”
"Cherry, you go inside and wait. When the third lady asked about Qiu Ju, she said that I sent someone to the front hall. If she blames her, I will be the one to blame."
Hearing what she said, Qiu Ju's expression relaxed a little.
She looked inside again, and Li Xutang had already pulled her out.
"It's okay. There are people taking care of you. Nothing will happen to your wife. By the way, you have been with your third brother and sister for so long, and I don't even know about you. Where are you from? Who else is at home?"
She pulled Qiu Ju away, glanced at the closed room behind her intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued to pull Qiu Ju to talk.
After sending Qiu Ju to the front hall, Li Xutang excused himself to greet others and left.
She walked aside and looked at the festivities in the room, feeling that it was terribly annoying.
She heard others congratulating Lu Zhiyuan, "Brother Lu is so lucky to have married such a lovely wife. He is really blessed by everyone. The first lady is virtuous and helps you take care of the housework. The second lady is young and beautiful. How many people envy you." ah."
Lu Zhiyuan was complacent, holding up a cup to show off his love with Wu Qianqian.
He and Wu Qianqian are very different in age, so getting married is a good story.
And because of the status of the two families, it has become a topic of discussion among others.
For this reason, Lu Zhiyuan not only didn't feel anything was wrong, but actually felt particularly honored.
Li Xutang looked on with cold eyes and a sneer on his lips.
"I don't know what's going on with Honglin. It's time for someone to report the news."
Li Xutang used to think Lu Zhiyuan was so handsome, but now he thinks he is so disgusting.
She had known since she was a child that she would marry this cousin in the future, and she had prepared a lot for this.
A popular girl who played music, chess, calligraphy and painting, she learned everything a housewife should learn.
She fantasizes about getting married to Lu Zhiyuan every day, and finally looks forward to her wedding day. She is as proud as Lu Zhiyuan is today.
He was pretty good to her after a few years of marriage. It wasn't until the concubine came in that she realized that he was no different from the men next to him.
Li Xutang didn't dare to have any more expectations. He took a step back and just wanted to secure his position as the mistress of the family. Until now, all his dreams were shattered.
But in this deep compound, without her identity, she didn't know how she died.
So how could she do what those people wanted?
She went to discuss with her elder brother and wanted to get rid of Wu Qianqian.
Her eldest brother came up with an idea, "Hong Lin is very good at martial arts. Let him do it, and he will pretend to be seeking revenge and get rid of Si Ning for you."
Li Honglin was thrown into the mountains to practice martial arts with authentic experts since he was a child. He had achieved some success a few years ago.
His most powerful skill is Qinggong. He comes and goes without a trace, so he is not afraid of others checking him.
Before, Li Honglin had his wrist broken by Lu Hanxiao and Si Ning, but it was just a deception. If he was serious about it, he would not lose to Lu Hanxiao.
He confuses everyone. Everyone thinks he is a free-spirited young man who is idle and has no ability, but they don't know how powerful he is.
It was easy for Li Honglin to get rid of the two women.
After the accident, they tried to find a way to blame others, so that no one would suspect the Li brothers and sisters.
Li Xutang was very devoted to marrying a woman for her husband, and no one would think that she had second thoughts.
Moreover, she had no accomplices. Her brother and nephew were just ordinary people. She was busy preparing for the wedding and rarely went out. No matter how they searched, they could not find anything on her.
Moreover, on the day of the wedding, the bride died. The Ning'an Marquis Mansion would definitely find a way to suppress this kind of scandal, and would not publicize it everywhere or even alert the government, so it would be done hastily.
As for Si Ning, the brother and sister agreed to smuggle her body out of the house.
Letting others speculate about her life and death is misleading everyone and makes people suspect that Wu Qianqian's death is related to her.
With Si Ning's life and death unknown, Lu Hanxiao would be busy looking for someone.
He has no time to take care of the affairs of the house. Without his intervention, things would go much smoother.
Everything is ready.
Li Xutang first pushed Qiu Ju away to give Li Honglin a chance.
When there is a happy event in the house, no one will notice Li Honglin's actions.
According to the time, I have succeeded now.
It's almost time for worship, and the servants have already gone to invite the bride.
Seeing everything in the house, the house will definitely be in chaos.
The more Li Xutang thought about it, the happier he became, and his eyes were filled with blazing fire.
She wanted to see how festive the Ning'an Marquis Mansion would be in a while!
