Si Ning was taken to Mrs. Xu's house by the maid. Mrs. Xu had just finished packing, and when she saw someone coming, she happily pulled her aside and sat down.
"How is it? Are you still getting used to it?"
Si Ning nodded, "Sister Xu, it's very nice here."
When Mrs. Xu heard what she said, she deliberately said with a straight face, "Why are you still separated from me? Don't worry. I will explain to them when I get out soon. I am begging you to treat me first and give you these things." The money is just a medical fee for you, how could they be spread like that?"
As she spoke, she turned around and took out a rectangular box from the drawer behind her and handed it to Si Ning.
"Although I have only known you for a short time, I sincerely treat you as my sister. You diagnose and treat me. I should thank you. You can put forward any conditions and I will not agree to it, but you insist on it." The medical fee is due to me..."
Seeing Mrs. Xu's hurt expression, Si Ning replied with a faint smile.
"I have no quarrel with Sister Xu, but this is my rule for treating patients and saving people. This applies to anyone I treat."
After hearing what she said, Mrs. Xu's expression improved a little and she put the box into Si Ning's hand.
"Although this is your rule, I also thought that it was because of me that you got hurt and said that. This is my sister's compensation for you."
Si Ning opened the box. Inside was a golden hairpin, which was inlaid with red gems. It was very precious and rare.
Si Ning closed the box and wanted to return it to Mrs. Xu, "Sister Xu has already paid the medical fee, so there is no need to give such an expensive gift again."
Mrs. Xu stuffed the box back into Si Ning's hand, "How precious is it? You saved my life. Even if I give you gold and silver, I don't think it's an exaggeration. If you refuse like this, you don't regard me as your sister." ?”
After Mrs. Xu said this, Si Ning couldn't refuse anymore and took the box and thanked her.
Mrs. Xu saw the gold hairpin in her hand and pulled her to stand up.
"They are still waiting. Let's go there first. Don't leave until it's over. I'll take you for a walk in my yard."
Si Ning agreed, and the two of them walked out hand in hand.
Halfway through, Si Ning suddenly felt pain in his abdomen. He stretched out his hand to cover it and said apologetically to Mrs. Xu next to him.
"I'm really sorry, Sister Xu. My stomach feels uncomfortable. Can I use the toilet at home?"
"But did you eat something bad?"
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Si Ning's forehead and he shook his head.
"Maybe I was craving for cold in the morning, so I drank a cup of herbal tea when I came out. I'll come back as soon as I go."
Seeing that her condition was really bad, Mrs. Xu no longer stopped her.
"How about I accompany you."
"It's okay, I'll let the maid accompany me."
Seeing this, Qiu Ju hurriedly stepped forward to support Si Ning and said to Mrs. Xu.
"My wife has some distinguished guests, so I'll just accompany my wife. If anything happens, I'll bother my sister at home to deliver news to you."
"Sister Xu, go quickly. You are the master, so it is best not to be there."
Hearing what Si Ning said, Mrs. Xu nodded and told Qiu Ju to take good care of Si Ning before turning and leaving.
The maids in the house led the way for Si Ning and Qiu Ju. When they arrived at the toilet, Qiu Ju dismissed them and accompanied Si Ning into the toilet.
The two stood inside for a long time, and after making sure that no one was around, Si Ning took out the brocade box given by Mrs. Xu from his sleeves.
"See if there's anything wrong."
Si Ning was good at killing people and escaping from prison, but he really had no experience with these ancient mechanisms.
She guessed that there must be a good show today, but she didn't know when and where the show would be staged.
Qiu Ju took the brocade box from Si Ning's hand, opened it, took out the gold hairpin and inspected it carefully, then shook her head at Si Ning.
"Looking at the box."
Ancient people seemed to like to hide things in hairpins, so Qiu Ju checked the hairpin especially.
Qiu Ju checked the box carefully and shook her head.
"It's nothing serious."
Si Ning stared at it, took the brocade box and put it in his hand to cushion it, then took the gold hairpin and looked at it, still a little worried.
"Can you find an identical box?"
Qiu Ju glanced at the box and nodded.
"It's the brocade box from Fengluan Pavilion. You can find it."
"how long?"
"I'll go and have a cup of tea together."
Si Ning handed the box and the golden hairpin to Qiu Ju without any further hesitation, "Don't let anyone notice. Go and come back quickly."
"But Madam, you..."
"I'm waiting here, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Qiu Ju nodded, leaned against the door and listened for a while to make sure there was no one outside, then opened the door and walked out.
As soon as Qiu Ju left, Si Ning stood in the toilet thinking about today's events.
There must be something missing that she didn't pay attention to.
Mrs. Xu's thoughts are too obvious, and the person behind her must be Shen Ranhao.
What method would Shen Ranhao use to deal with her coming to Dala to lure Lu Hanxiao into the water?
Si Ning thought about the time he met Mrs. Xu, as well as the Shen family's previous methods. Finally, he thought about Mr. Xu's identity, and an idea flashed through his mind.
Could it be...
"Mrs. Lu, how are you?"
As soon as the thoughts flashed through Si Ning's mind, he was interrupted.
The Xu family's maid's voice came from outside the door. Si Ning greeted her, straightened her clothes casually, stabbed the lily point again, then opened the door and walked out.
The little maid was shocked when she saw that Si Ning's face was paler than before.
"Mrs. Lu, do you want to call a doctor?"
Si Ning forced out a faint smile and shook his head, "I'm the doctor. It's okay. You can just rest for a while. But your wife asked you to come look for me?"
"Madam saw that you haven't been there for a long time. She was worried about you and asked your servant to come over and ask. Mrs. Lu, would you like me to help you go to the guest room to rest for a while?"
Si Ning nodded and let the little maid help her to the guest room.
This guest room was separated by a wall from Mr. Xu's study. After the little maid helped him lie down, he gave a careful warning.
"Madam, please lie here for a while. If you need anything, just call the slave. Next door is the master's study, which contains some military secrets. Madam, please don't go there, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Si Ning nodded, and the little maid bowed and bowed before retreating.
Si Ning calmed down and narrowed his eyes.
It seems that I guessed it right.
She called Si Yihan in, but Si Yihan had been hiding in the dark since he entered the house.
He looked like a half-grown child, so no one noticed him.
Si Yihan entered the room easily and asked worriedly when he saw Si Ning's expression was not good.
"What's wrong ma'am?"
"Nothing, how is your Qinggong?"
Now that Lu Hanxiao has placed Si Yihan by his side, he will definitely not be as simple as boxing and kicking.
Seeing the serious expression on Si Ning's face, Si Yihan replied truthfully.
"My subordinate is not as good as Qiu Ju, but I can't let anyone notice it."
"That's good. You go do something for me. Go back quickly and don't let anyone notice..."
