Li Xutang's words opened up new ideas to Mrs. Li.
She has always regarded Si Ning as too smart, so that she thought she could do anything.
But as Li Xutang said, she was not a bug in their stomachs, so how could she guess everything so accurately?
And no matter how powerful she is, she is still just a daughter-in-law in this house.
The housekeeper's power is in Li Xutang's hands, and the old lady hates her even more. She can still turn the world upside down.
"Sister-in-law, we should act quickly instead of being hesitant and she will find out the clues."
"Let me think about it."
Mrs. Li was obviously moved, and what Li Xutang said actually made sense.
It's just that she has always been cautious, which is also the key to her not falling into other people's traps.
Li Xutang, "What I'm thinking about is to give Si Ning some breathing space. I can continue to cause trouble for her and divert her attention."
Li Xutang found pleasure in torturing Si Ning, but he became tired of the pleasure after a long time.
She felt that Si Ning should not be allowed to live any longer, otherwise her eldest brother's life would be in vain.
And there was one thing she didn't tell her sister-in-law. She had chosen a marriage for Brother Hu, and the other party wanted a lot of betrothal gifts. She had to find a way to get the money from the third house into her own hands.
If Si Ning dies, Lu Hanxiao will not marry again immediately. Marrying a wife will take time.
Since the third bedroom lost its mistress, she, as the sister-in-law, could manage the middle class for Lu Hanxiao, and the money from the third bedroom would naturally flow into her pocket.
Brother Hu must have someone to take care of her, otherwise how will Brother Hu survive after a hundred years?
Li Xutang did not give up on his son. On the contrary, he planned the future for his son more carefully.
So Si Ning must be eliminated!
The next day, Jin Ling came to see Si Ning.
"Madam, what happened yesterday was my fault. I wanted to share some trouble with you. Can you forgive me?"
She held up a food box with both hands. Inside was the chicken soup she had stewed early in the morning.
It's no secret that Si Ning loves soup, and Jin Ling chose to do what he likes.
Si Ning didn't refuse and took a mouthful.
"I accept this gift, go down."
Jin Ling didn't expect it to go so smoothly and looked at Si Ning in confusion.
Si Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Is there anything else?"
Jin Ling shook her head and retreated.
Si Ning looked at her back and murmured, "It looks like it's almost done."
In the evening, the old lady invited everyone to have dinner in her courtyard, including Wu Qianqian, who was pregnant, and Jiang Linrou, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"My bones are getting worse day by day. I know you don't want to see me and wish I would die soon, but old lady, I..."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Who would think that?"
Lu Zhiyuan was not good at Li Xutang, but he really cared about this mother.
When he heard the old lady say this, he immediately cut off the words.
"Did anyone make you unhappy during this period? Don't worry, you still have the final say in the Lu family, and no one can get past you!"
When Lu Zhiyuan said this, his eyes swept over Si Ning.
He had also heard some rumors in the house, and knew that Si Ning was reluctant to attend to his mother's illness. In the end, he did not show up and sent a maid to attend to her in her stead.
Lu Zhiyuan hated this kind of behavior very much. Can someone else take over the job of serving patients?
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down, and Wu Qianqian stepped forward to smooth things over.
"What are you talking about? Who would wish bad things to my mother? Mother, if you don't mind my heavy body, I will spend more time with you in the future. I feel ashamed to say that my body is useless, otherwise I should be a sick person. It’s me.”
Wu Qianqian turned away from Si Ning, and the old lady turned her attention to her belly.
"Don't be pushy with your body now. I have so many people taking care of me, but you are still missing. A woman with a body is most taboo about having random thoughts, but please don't let my dear grandson worry with you."
A mother may not give up on her children, but a grandmother will.
Lu Baohu is now incapable of success. Even if he marries the princess, he will be a useless person and cannot be counted on.
But the child in Wu Qianqian's belly was different. If a boy was born, the Lu family would have another heir.
Not to mention the old lady's treasures, how could Wu Qianqian be allowed to do such a thing as waiting for the sick?
Lu Zhiyuan took over the conversation and mentioned the child in Wu Qianqian's belly full of affection.
This affection stung Li Xutang's eyes. The hand holding the chopsticks was so tight that his fingertips turned white.
Mrs. Li intentionally or unintentionally tugged at the corner of her clothes to signal her to calm down. Today is not the time to deal with Wu Qianqian.
The atmosphere was joyful, and suddenly the old lady let out an ouch, then turned blue and covered her chest.
Everyone was frightened by this sudden scene. Lu Zhiyuan was the first to react and supported the old lady.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Li Xutang, who had been silent until now, said anxiously, "It looks like... he's been poisoned!"
boom!
The words exploded in everyone's minds, and Lu Zhiyuan looked at his mother in disbelief.
"How is that possible? Call the doctor. Go call the doctor quickly..."
"Sir, my third brother and sister know medical skills, why are they called doctors?"
Everyone looked at Si Ning, but were stunned for a moment.
Because Si Ning's face looked like that of an old lady, she looked like she was...poisoned.
Wu Qianqian was the first to lose her composure at this time, "What's going on? Could it be that the third young lady is also poisoned? Is it because of this food..."
This suspicion is reasonable. Two people at the same table were poisoned. How could such a coincidence happen?
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhiyuan looked panicked.
"Go and call the doctor, go quickly..."
The hand holding the old lady was trembling, and the expression on her face was strange.
He was afraid that what Wu Qianqian said was true and he was also poisoned.
The doctor hurried over and examined the old lady first, confirming everyone's suspicions.
"It is true that he was poisoned. This poison did not occur suddenly, but penetrated into the spleen and stomach bit by bit, and it broke out today."
It is a chronic poison, and everyone is relieved.
Wu Qianqian urged the doctor to diagnose and treat Si Ning, but Li Xutang wanted to stop her but it was too late.
The doctor said the same thing, "It's a kind of poison. Judging from their pulses, they should have been poisoned for a long time, not just overnight."
how so?
"Doctor, you must save my mother."
The doctor nodded, "It's not difficult to detoxify, but the old lady's health is not good to begin with. This poison may have damaged her roots. In the future, her body will..."
Lu Zhiyuan endured his grief and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine.
Looking at the room full of people, Lu Zhiyuan scolded angrily.
"Check it for me, I want to see who has the guts to harm my mother!"
