Si Ning's words were always for the sake of the old lady. If the old lady didn't respond, she would be really ignorant.
And she couldn't let Si Ning leave. If the government got involved, the matter wouldn't be able to end satisfactorily.
The old lady coughed violently again, Lu Zhiyuan's mind changed slightly and he said calmly.
"Sister-in-law, you just want the truth. I promise you I will give you the truth. There is no need to go through any formalities."
Lu Zhiyuan noticed his mother's abnormality.
There must be another reason for this.
You can’t report to the official!
Si Ning refused to give up, "My second brother didn't mean to just introduce a maid to convict me when he told me to tell the truth. The person who murdered me and my mother could not be a maid. The maid in Ning'an Marquis Mansion is not capable of this."
"You...why do you have to make the house uneasy so that you can feel at ease? Si Ning, you are just a bastard!"
The old lady was so angry that she hammered the edge of the bed and stared at Si Ning with vicious eyes.
It's always Si Ning's fault.
Even if someone wanted to harm Si Ning, Si Ning deserved it and did not deserve to live.
Si Ning's eyes became calmer and quieter, "I have to give my mother an explanation..."
This is a refusal to give in.
"If mother is unwilling to report to the official, my husband has some friendship with Jingzhao Prefecture Yin, I will ask Mr. Xue to come and investigate secretly."
"no!"
The arrival of the governor of Jingzhao is equivalent to making the scandal of the Lu family public.
Mr. Xue is an upright person. If he really finds out something, how can he let him solve it secretly?
"Si Ning, you..."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I will give you an explanation."
Lu Zhiyuan compromised. He didn't want to cause too much trouble because of a certain person. He had other plans and couldn't offend Si Ning for the time being.
The old lady wanted to say something else, but Lu Zhiyuan pinched her arm secretly to stop her.
Si Ning was helped back to the yard by Qiu Ju. Now it was impossible for her to suffer from physical illness.
Lying on the bed, Si Ning's face was still a little pale.
Qiu Ju was anxious to find a doctor but was stopped by Si Ning.
"There is an antidote in the cabinet, go get it."
In fact, Si Ning was immune to all poisons, but she never mentioned this matter to anyone.
Whatever antidote she takes now is just to make Qiu Ju feel at ease. Even if she doesn't take it, she will be fine in a few days.
Qiu Ju hurriedly went to get the antidote and helped Si Ning take it.
Seeing that Si Ning's expression softened a little, he asked, "Madam, what's going on? Why are you and the old lady poisoned? This poison was..." Who gave it?
Qiu Ju didn't finish her words, but she had a vague answer in her heart.
Si Ning nodded, confirming her thoughts.
"I gave the poison myself, but the poison on the old lady was not from me."
"You...how could you poison yourself? You..."
Qiu Ju was so anxious that Si Ning comforted her.
"It doesn't matter. I know my body. This little poison won't hurt my body."
"But what if there is an accident?"
"Will not."
Si Ning said so confidently that Qiu Ju couldn't say anything in a hurry.
She couldn't persuade Si Ning, so she wanted to wait until his master came back to tell him about the matter so that he could persuade his wife.
"Don't tell Lu Hanxiao."
Si Ning guessed her plan, and Qiu Ju looked at her awkwardly.
Si Ning, "This is really not a big deal. I won't make fun of my body. I am a doctor who can control the toxicity. How could I hurt myself?"
"But this game must be broken like this, Qiu Ju, there is no reason to defend day and night in this world. If I am not poisoned, the old lady will crush me to death with filial piety. The most feared thing in this world is this kind of crime, and Lu Hanxiao will also be implicated .”
The old lady allowed Li Xutang to deal with Si Ning again and again, because she must get rid of Si Ning.
Si Ning could fight back against Li Xutang, but he couldn't do this to the old lady.
The old lady must have known this very well, so she oppressed Si Ning unscrupulously.
Not to mention Si Ning, not even Lu Hanxiao could resist the fact that Mrs. Lu was his adoptive mother.
If you do something out of the ordinary, you will be labeled as unfilial.
"Madam, you..."
"Qiu Ju, I don't like to be threatened by anyone."
Qiu Ju understood what Si Ning meant, and at the same time felt sad in her heart.
Her wife is so kind, why do those people have to target her everywhere?
Two days later, Lu Zhiyuan came to Qingfeng Garden.
Qiu Ju came in to report, and Si Ning went out to greet him in person.
"Why bother my second brother to make this trip in person?"
Si Ning's face was still abnormally white. Lu Zhiyuan looked at it calmly and motioned for Si Ning to sit down first.
The two of them sat in the yard, and Lu Zhiyuan pretended to be concerned before getting to the point.
"I've had people check it over the past few days but I still have no clue. Did my siblings find anything wrong?"
This was testing Si Ning's attitude.
Si Ning sneered in his heart. It would be too fanciful for the Lu family to want to settle the matter now.
"If second brother asked me, I would really notice something was wrong."
Lu Zhiyuan stared, "Oh, really, you noticed something was wrong?"
Si Ning, "Second sister-in-law has been causing trouble for me lately. She even put laxatives in my meals, and later brought me rotten rice. I asked her several times angrily, and she said she would make me regret it." "
Lu Zhiyuan's face darkened and he retorted, "Absolutely impossible. Your second sister-in-law wouldn't be so confused. My mother is your second sister-in-law's biological aunt. How could she harm her?"
Si Ning chuckled lightly, "Maybe it was an accidental injury, or maybe my mother was poisoned just to cover up my poisoning. Didn't my mother also say that someone wanted to harm me, so she was implicated? I think what my mother said may not be true. "
The words he used to tease Si Ning were now used by Si Ning to attack them.
Lu Zhiyuan was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, Si Ning said again.
"If it is really difficult for the second brother to continue the investigation, it is better to leave it to the government to investigate. After all, it involves the second sister-in-law, and it is really difficult for the second brother to make a decision."
This was a direct conviction for Li Xutang. Lu Zhiyuan had no choice but to say that he would investigate carefully when he got back.
By this time, he basically understood what Si Ning meant.
He went back to his mother to discuss what decision to make?
Li Xutang gave birth to children for him, and there was still some affection for him.
Furthermore, Li Xutang is the old lady's biological niece, so we have to ask the old lady about this matter.
Si Ning has been staying in his house these days. Except for meeting Lu Zhiyuan, Qiu Ju politely refused everyone else who came to the door.
The servants were also vaguely aware of the unusual atmosphere recently, and were a little more cautious in doing things.
Two days later, Lu Zhiyuan came to the door again.
This time he didn't play riddles with Si Ning like last time, but spoke straightforwardly.
"Third brother and sister, the person who poisoned me has been found."
Si Ning narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
Lu Zhiyuan, "My sister-in-law - Mrs. Li's family."
