Si Ning walked towards Mrs. Li step by step and stopped a step away from her.
Si Ning lowered his head, approached Mrs. Li's gaze, hooked her chin with his fingers, forcing her to look up at him.
She looked wanton and arrogant, and her smile was evil.
"It's such a pity. I'm afraid I'll die because you can't see me. Not only you, but your son may not be able to see it either."
"What do you mean?"
Mrs. Li looked at Si Ning with a look of fear and reached out to grab the hem of her skirt.
"Si Ning, if you touch my son, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"
Si Ning sneered, "Then I'll see you when you're a ghost."
She raised her feet to leave, but Mrs. Li held her tightly and refused to let go.
"Si Ning, don't mess around. My son is innocent. Don't involve her."
Si Ning lowered his eyes and looked at her with a cold light in his eyes.
"Who is not innocent in this world? If you want to ask for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help..."
"What do you want me to do?"
Mrs. Li was so smart, she guessed what Si Ning was thinking with just one sentence.
"I will help you get rid of aunt."
Mrs. Li was very aware of Si Ning's fears. She knew that Si Ning would not refuse the conditions she proposed.
"Okay, deal."
Si Ning did not refuse, because to her, the old lady was indeed more difficult.
As for Li Xutang, he is nothing more than a grasshopper after autumn.
She asked Qiu Ju to send the person to the Yamen, as she would not handle murder matters.
Although she had killed many people in her previous life, Si Ning knew that this world was different from her previous life.
If people want to stand high, they need a good reputation.
A person with blood on his hands will only be a butcher and someone else's knife, but Si Ning wants to be the one holding the knife.
Nowadays, Si Ning is famous. Just a few days ago, the emperor awarded her a reward for her contribution in disaster relief.
Qiu Ju sent the person to the Yamen in her name, and the Yamen handled the case actively.
Mrs. Li confessed to her crime and also confessed an accomplice - the old lady of the Lu family.
When the news came out, everyone in the capital was shocked.
There are many mothers-in-law who waste time on their daughter-in-law, but it is unheard of to directly poison someone to death.
The Lu family was set on fire, and everyone pushed the so-called wall down. Everyone stood up and accused the old lady of doing something wrong.
The old lady went to the Yamen dragging her body with illness and confronted Mrs. Li in court.
Mrs. Li didn't dare to look at her, but she made her motives clear.
During this period, the old lady's personal maid was also summoned, and the maid also admitted that she had seen the poison that the old lady had taken herself, and that she had given the medicine to Si Ning through the hands of Jin Ling, Si Ning's former maid in the Zhenguo Palace.
Everything was reasonable and reasonable, but the old lady's body was already shaky, and she was old. The key was that her status was a bit special. The county government did not sentence her immediately, but delayed and asked Si Ning what she meant.
The answer given by Si Ning was touching. She said that she must have not done well enough for her mother to treat her like this. She did not blame her mother and this matter would not involve her mother.
The county government official also breathed a sigh of relief. If Si Ning really held on to the old lady, it would make it difficult for him.
It's okay now, Si Ning's filial piety and generosity have been reflected, and he doesn't have to be too embarrassed.
The old lady fell ill after returning home and locked herself in the house.
Lu Zhiyuan went to find Si Ning, and his superficial greetings to her were actually secret threats.
Si Ning simply stopped pretending to be a harmonious family and responded directly.
"Second brother, I was poisoned. My mother tried every means to prevent me from finding the murderer. When the murderer found her, she couldn't let it go. If Mrs. Li hadn't confessed herself and my mother had helped me, I wouldn't have thought that my servant It’s so sick that such a mother is..."
"Second brother, you don't need to come and tell me this. You should ask your mother, what is wrong with our third bedroom? Is it because the house she lives in is not big enough, or the clothes she wears are not luxurious enough, so she doesn't like us?"
Lu Zhiyuan couldn't answer, and it was them who were at fault.
When Lu Hanxiao came back, the case was coming to an end.
He heard Ming Han's report and gave direct instructions.
"Let Mr. Sun change the exile to immediate execution, regardless of whose face it is."
Ming Han knew that Lu Hanxiao was angry, and he spoke very quickly when he was angry.
Lu Hanxiao returned home. He did not go back to his yard immediately, but went to the old lady's yard first.
The old lady didn't see anyone, but Lu Hanxiao didn't just disappear without her thinking.
Lu Hanxiao stayed in the old lady's room for half an hour, and all the maids who were serving him were kicked out.
Half an hour later, Lu Hanxiao walked out, and then the wailing of the old lady inside was heard.
From then on, Mrs. Lu completely shut herself up and refused to see anyone again.
No one knew what Lu Hanxiao said to the old lady, but the servants of the Ning'an Marquis Mansion knew that things were about to change for the Lu family.
Lu Hanxiao returned to the courtyard, where Si Ning was teasing Xiaobai and Xiaoxiao.
Now the two little guys have grown as tall as one person, and they are already majestic overlords.
But when facing Si Ning, he was as obedient as a puppy.
Lu Hanxiao walked over, and Qiu Ju poured tea for them and stepped aside.
After returning from the border, Lu Hanxiao hurried into the palace and went out to run an errand, and now he is back.
He took the initiative to mention what happened this time, "I did a good job, but I'm still a little soft-hearted."
If it were him, he would not leave the old lady alive, not even the second wife.
"That's your family." Si Ning said.
Lu Hanxiao handed her the teacup in his hand and replied softly.
"The only family I have is you."
Si Ning looked up at him, and Lu Hanxiao smiled and took out a brocade box from his arms.
"It's for you."
Si Ning was puzzled and opened the brocade box. It turned out to be a small wooden statue.
"Is this me?"
Si Ning found it strange and couldn't put it down while touching the little statue.
"Did you carve it yourself?"
"No, I just bought it at the stall."
Ming Han just walked over, "..."
Master, why are you still saying what you mean?
But based on his last experience, if he talks too much, he will get punished. Minghan silently put down the fruit he just brought back and left.
"Did you bring this back along the way?"
There were actually lychees, which Si Ning had not eaten for a long time.
Lu Hanxiao hummed softly, sat aside and touched Xiao Bai silently, his eyes glancing at Si Ning's movements from time to time.
Seeing that her mouth was full, an unnoticed smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and every household is busy preparing the things needed for the New Year.
More and more people went shopping on the streets, but gradually, strange symptoms appeared in various prefectures, that is, high fever that would not go away.
Even the mother-in-law of the Marquis of Ning'an who went out to buy ingredients had a high fever after she came back. Si Ning had not eaten fresh vegetables for several days, so she felt strange and asked, only to find out that the epidemic had spread to the capital.
