The shopkeeper mistakenly thought that Lu Hanxiao's dress was made for Si Wan, so he always answered Si Wan's questions.
He said something about the clothes just because he wanted Si Wan to know Lu Hanxiao's thoughts.
"I have never seen a general treat someone with such care. The girl is lucky."
Si Wan squeezed the handkerchief tightly and nodded lightly with a calm face.
The shopkeeper was not very happy to see her and added another sentence.
"The general ordered it to be completed as soon as possible. The girl is preparing in advance. Maybe there will be any surprises?"
The shopkeeper has a main wife and two aunts.
He is a frequent visitor to Tianxian Tower, and he has the tricks to coax girls at his fingertips. He also knows what women think and wants to get a good deal in front of the future young lady, so he reminded her kindly.
Si Wan smiled and nodded, turned and left.
She thought about what Li Xutang said to her last night, combined with today's events, and felt confused.
Is this dress really made for you?
If that's the case, then why is he so cold to me?
Si Wan is not stupid, on the contrary, she knows how to assess the situation. She does not just think that she is great and everyone should like her, but she knows how to make people like her.
After leaving Hongyifang, Si Wan returned to his mansion. If he wanted to stay in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion, Li Xutang's words were simply not enough.
When Zhen Guogong brought Si Wan to the door, Si Ning had just finished listening to Si Yihan's report.
"Madam, everything is almost ready, except for the pots you want to customize, the store said it will take some time."
"Um, don't worry. Are all the people you asked to find in place?"
Si Yihan nodded, "I have found everything. I paid the wages according to your instructions. I also told you not to go out to help for a while. I will wait for your dispatch at any time."
Si Yihan did things more neatly than Si Ning thought.
I don’t know why such a talented person would beg for a living on the street.
However, Si Ning would not take the initiative to pry into other people's past. He praised Si Yihan without hesitation and let him go out first.
She planned to wait until all the things were ready and conduct unified training for those people.
Since hot pot is a modern product, the service must also keep up with the modern trend.
Just as he was thinking about it, the maid outside came in and reported that the Duke of Zhen Guo was here.
Si Ning was not too surprised by the arrival of this good father.
She vaguely guessed something and met Duke Zhen Guo in the front hall.
Si Wan followed him, and when he saw Si Ning, Si Wan responded with tears in his eyes and held Si Ning's hand.
"Sister, how are you? My sister came to the house to see you, but her brother-in-law stopped me outside. I'm really worried. Are you feeling better?"
Such a scene of deep sisterly love, if it weren't for the memory of the original owner, Si Ning would almost have been moved to tears.
He calmly pulled his hand back, and when Si Wan's expression froze, Si Ning didn't even look at him, walked up to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and paid him respects.
The Zhenguo Duke's Mansion didn't have a good look towards Si Ning, but after all, the Ning'an Marquis Mansion did not deliberately embarrass her and waved her hand to let her get up.
"Are you feeling better? Your sister is very worried."
A father said to a daughter who had just had a miscarriage that your sister is worried about your health, without saying anything else.
I really don’t know whether I should say that this father is too shy to express his emotions, or that it is really just my sister who is worried about her health, and he, the father, has no intention of worrying at all?
Si Ning saluted Si Wan and said softly.
"Thank you for your concern, sister."
He was so polite and respectful that no one could find any fault with him.
When Si Wan saw it, he gave him an extremely kind smile.
"Seeing that my sister is fine makes me feel relieved."
Duke Zhen Guo, "I'm bringing your sister here this time, firstly to see how you are, and secondly because I want your sister to stay with you. You just had a miscarriage, and it's impossible without someone caring around you. It's just right Your sister has nothing to do now, so let her stay at home."
After hearing this, Si Ning looked at Si Wan with a troubled expression, then turned to Duke Zhen Guo and said.
"Father, sister, you don't know something. I am not in charge of the Ning'an Marquis Mansion now. I must not accept this kind of thing."
Si Wan had heard about this. Yesterday, Li Xutang showed off his stewardship.
Duke Zhenguo's face was full of displeasure, "Does it still need the head of the family to decide this kind of thing? With your health like this, doesn't my uncle feel sorry for you? How can you do it without a caring person around you?"
"Father, I am afraid that as a sister, I am not suitable for doing this. It is enough to have a maid to take care of you."
"Sister, what do you mean?"
Si Wan looked at Si Ning in confusion, and Si Ning looked confused.
"Didn't my father say that he should have someone by his side? Isn't that a maid? But my sister is not a maid, how can she do that kind of thing?"
Si Ning added, "If it's a maid's matter, my sister can still make some decisions, but if my sister moves in as the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, this is really inappropriate."
"My sister is not married yet. What should I do if someone criticizes her?"
As soon as the Duke of Zhen Guo heard what she said, he refused and his face turned cold.
"Who dares to criticize our Zhenguo Duke's mansion? Besides, we are just staying in the mansion for a short time. What can we criticize?"
Si Ning laughed, but there wasn't much to criticize.
She pinched her fingers and listed them to the Zhenguo Palace, "For example, I want to criticize my sister for wanting to live in the house to be Han Xiao's mistress, or to add happiness to my second wife. She may even put it in a worse way. Does my sister still have any problems? Other plots..."
"enough!"
Duke Zhenguo interrupted Si Ning fiercely, and he finally understood that Si Ning did it on purpose.
She deliberately humiliated her daughter because she didn't want to live in the house.
Si Wan thought the same way, and looked at Si Ning with a more sinister look.
But she is no better than the Duke of Zhenguo. She never uses her majesty to overwhelm others.
"Sister, I know you blame me for not coming to see you for so long, but I can't get away from it. Since you got married, a lot of things in the house have fallen on me, and I really can't do anything about it."
Si Ning pretended to be dumbfounded, and Si Wan followed suit.
On the contrary, Duke Zhen Guo became the least calm person in the middle hall.
He issued a death order, "Your sister will stay at home for a while. If anyone disagrees, let him come to me."
Although Lord Zhenguo is not as good as before, he is still Si Ning's father. For this reason, no one in the Ning'an Marquis Mansion can really stand up to him except the old Marquis.
The Si family made it clear that they were sending another daughter in. Si Ning remained silent and didn't say anything.
Seeing that she remained silent, Si Wan hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Sister, we are all a family. My sister will only help you when she comes. When you are well, I will leave naturally."
Si Ning nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, what exactly did the Si family have in mind?
