Mr. Xu is not stupid, and Mrs. Xu may not be unaware of what happened today.
Mr. Xue was here just now, so he couldn't make an attack lest it cause more trouble.
But now that Master Xue is gone, he has to give an explanation to Si Ning and the others.
"You bastard, why didn't you think everything through before doing anything? Madam Lu was wrongly accused by you in such a stupid way, and your sister is also implicated by you. Do you have any brains?"
He scolded Mrs. Xu because of Si Ning and also because of the letter. The letter clearly remembered his past with Mrs. Xu and that sister.
This is the secret history of the Xu family. Things like brother-in-law and sister are not very honorable after all.
Mr. Xu himself knew it, so he hid it very well. If Mrs. Xu hadn't made a big fuss, no one would know about it.
The incident is now well known to everyone, and it has a great impact on his reputation.
In addition to the loss of military reports this time, I wonder if the emperor will punish him.
Mr. Xu felt uncertain and wanted to give an explanation to Si Ning who had been wronged. This slap took all his strength.
Mrs. Xu was stunned by the beating, and when she reacted, she started to quarrel with Mr. Xu.
"How dare you hit me? I have been married to you for so long, I have given birth to children and taken care of such a big family for you. I have worked hard without any merit, and you actually treat me like this!"
Mrs. Xu burst into tears, but women in this era could not fight with their husbands.
Mrs. Xu just kept crying, and while crying, she talked about all the difficulties after marrying Mr. Xu.
Master Xu was upset after hearing this, and ignored Mrs. Xu on the ground. He walked up to Si Ning and said apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Lu. Xu really didn't expect that things would turn out like this and make you feel wronged. I'll wait until I take care of these housework and come to apologize in person."
Si Ning listened without any expression, and just said lightly, "If Master Xu is fine, I will leave first."
She clutched her chest, looking aggrieved.
Mrs. Jing'an Hou followed her and left. Before leaving, she looked at Mrs. Xu on the ground, then at Mr. Xu who was smiling apologetically, and threw something away angrily.
"The Xu family is really an eye-opener for me. Please don't leave me any posts in the future. I will never dare to come."
These words are serious, and they are equivalent to drawing a clear line with the Xu family.
Mr. Xu's face turned pale. When he was thinking about explaining, Mrs. Jing'an Hou had already followed Si Ning out of the door.
There are still a few ladies left in the house. It is difficult for Mr. Xu to catch up, so he can only stay with the remaining ladies.
The family background of these ladies was not as good as that of the Xu family, and they would not say anything wrong about the Xu family. They just followed Mr. Xu's words and said a few polite words before leaving.
After everyone left, Mr. Xu returned to the middle hall.
Mrs. Xu was still sitting on the ground. When she heard the sound, she looked up and saw him, and continued to speak sadly.
"You are trying to destroy me, so many people, you are..."
Before he could finish speaking, someone kicked him directly in the chest.
Mrs. Xu looked at the husband in front of her in shock, "Why are you..."
"It's not that I want to destroy you, but you want to destroy me. It's over, it's over. Everything I managed in the court is over, it's over..."
Mr. Xu walked back distractedly. Mrs. Xu stopped crying when he saw it. Only then did she realize what a stupid thing she had done.
In order to get rid of her sister, she did not hesitate to collude with Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen promised her that as long as she helped her frame Si Ning, she would help her get rid of her sister, and those who knew how to do it would do so without knowing it. Will be discovered by her husband.
Mrs. Xu had never had murderous intentions towards her sister before, but she was blocked by Mr. Xu.
Her husband protected her sister very well, so much so that he would notice even the slightest disturbance.
She had no choice but Mrs. Shen happened to find her and asked her if she was willing to help her deal with Si Ning. After that, she would help her get rid of her annoying sister.
Mrs. Xu was tempted.
She followed Mrs. Shen's instructions and secretly stole the newspaper while Mr. Xu was unprepared for her and put it into the brocade box given to Si Ning.
Master Xu will find out immediately and come to look for military reports.
The military report will be searched on the spot, and there will be no mistakes. Si Ning will also be arrested on the spot, and there will be no accidents.
Mrs. Xu actually felt guilty for harming an unrelated person, but in order to keep her position as the eldest wife of the Xu family, she would do it anyway.
I just don’t want to…
Inside the carriage.
Madam Jing'an Hou looked at Si Ning with a worried look on her face and asked aloud.
"what happened?"
It was still snowing outside, and the snowflakes fell on the roof of the carriage and formed a layer of water droplets. The temperature was low and the water droplets turned into ice, hanging beside the carriage with a sparkling light.
Si Ning looked at Madam Marquis Jing'an opposite and explained without mincing words.
"The doctor mentioned Mrs. Xu's poisoning to her."
Mrs. Jing'an Hou smelled something unusual with just one sentence, "So she deliberately lured you to see a doctor for her, and then gave you money in a big way, and deliberately did not explain it to make everyone criticize you. She took the opportunity to give you Are you framed for your chance to apologize?"
"She was bribed by Mrs. Shen, why?"
The fights in the inner house were always no worse than the fights between men in the previous dynasties, and were even more severe.
Mrs. Jing'an Hou felt sad that a person came to deal with Si Ning for no reason. How many undercurrents did Si Ning have to face?
Si Ning didn't care about this, she replied.
"She should be the sister who holds a grudge. Mrs. Shen can help her achieve what she wants. It's not like Mrs. Xu can think of a way to frame others by trying poison on her own body."
Mrs. Xu helped Mrs. Shen frame Si Ning, and Si Ning also returned her a big gift. She felt that they were even.
She doesn't owe Mrs. Xu, and Mrs. Xu doesn't owe her anything.
She felt little about what had happened to her.
"That sister is a powerful person. She didn't do anything to make the Xu family fall into this trouble. It seems that Mr. Xu is very protective of her."
"Yeah, I didn't pay attention to the Xu family's affairs before. If Mrs. Xu hadn't found me this time, I wouldn't have known there was such a thing going on in the Xu family. Aning, it's me..."
"It has nothing to do with you. Even without you, this thing will definitely happen. The Shen family and Lu Hanxiao are now fighting to the death. As the previous dynasties have fought with each other, Mrs. Shen will definitely drag me into the water."
Madam Marquis Jing'an nodded, "The situation in the court is unclear now. You must be careful in everything. They dare not attack General Lu directly. They must be thinking of using you to involve him. You must be careful."
"I understand, I hope the matter in the court can end soon."
Si Ning didn't want to get involved, but he got involved.
At this time, she could not make peace with Lu Hanxiao. Even if she left Ning'an Hou Mansion, those people would not let her go.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to rely on Lu Hanxiao to show off her power, and those people would be concerned about her identity.
