This maid was none other than Li Xutang's personal maid. She was also the little maid who appeared after Si Ning and Si Wan were knocked unconscious.
When she saw Li Xutang, the little maid cried for help.
"Second Young Mistress, please save this slave. I'm all following your orders..."
Li Xutang blushed and denied it.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What did I tell you to do?"
"Second Young Mistress, didn't you order your slaves to stun the Third Young Mistress and Miss Si, then trick the Third Master in and make him and Miss Si strip naked and lie together?"
What she said was concise, but enough for people to understand the twists and turns involved.
The few people present are not fools.
From the moment the little maid appeared here, Li Xutang acted panicked, to the moment the little maid identified her, she reacted furiously without asking any questions. You can all guess what Li Xutang did.
"That's nonsense. Who did you listen to to frame me?"
Li Xutang was still quibbling, but Lu Zhiyuan glanced at her with a cold expression.
He lowered his eyes and looked at the little maid kneeling on the ground, and ordered in a deep voice.
"Tell me everything you know. I want to know what good things she has done!"
He had made a decision in his mind.
"Master, how can you believe the words of a cheap servant?"
"shut up!"
Lu Zhiyuan looked at the maid, and the little maid didn't hide anything, and said it clearly.
"Madam has always hated the third young lady, so she wants to take advantage of this banquet to let Miss Si replace the third young lady,"
"She asked the slave to find someone to deliberately wet Miss Si's dress. When Miss Si and the Third Young Mistress go to the guest room together, she will put smoke in it,"
"After the two of them fainted, the slave put the undressed Miss Si on the bed. Someone would lead the third master into the room. The third master drank tea with medicine in advance. When he got into the room, he smelled the fragrance and the medicine The effect will take effect, and then it will be a matter of course that Miss Si and I... sleep together. After framing all this on the third young mistress, she said that she sent Miss Si to the third master's bed for her own selfish interests. Then the third master She will definitely dislike her, and Miss Si will be able to take the position of the Third Young Mistress." "It's just that the Third Young Mistress had something to do and didn't enter the room, and the Third Master didn't drink the cup of tea either..."
There is no need to say what happened next, everyone understands.
Lu Zhiyuan's eyes darkened as he listened.
He was not stupid. He only believed 70% of what the little maid said. Someone had obviously taught her to say this.
But he was convinced that Li Xutang was plotting against Si Ning.
The Li family has been defeated one after another in the hands of Si Ning and his good brother. If he were Li Xutang, he would not let it go like this.
However, it is not easy to deal with Lu Hanxiao, but it is much easier to start with Si Ning.
Challenging the two of them is a way of waiting for work.
Li Xutang's idea was good, but she overlooked one thing.
Si Ning knew medicine and had some genius, so it was not easy to scheme against her.
"Nonsense," Li Xutang was still denying, and he rushed up and slapped the maid on the floor, "You have been with me for so long, and I am not kind to you. How could you wrong me just for that little bit of money?"
The little maid had tears in her eyes and did not dare to refute Li Xutang's words.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at the two of them and his thoughts changed.
Since Lu Hanxiao had brought everyone here, there was no way he could return empty-handed.
If he doesn't give Sanfang an explanation, he may not have a good life in the future.
He spoke to Lu Hanxiao, "Third brother, this matter is our second wife's fault. I took her, you and my siblings to apologize. Li Xutang is unruly, jealous, and even hurt his mother. Considering our long-term friendship, I will give her a letter of divorce and let her go."
"As for...how the third brother and his sister want to deal with this person, I will never interfere with the second brother."
Li Xutang looked at Lu Zhiyuan in shock, unable to believe what he had just heard.
Lu Hanxiao lowered his eyes and smiled, making a sarcastic comment.
"Second brother is smart and shirks all the responsibility."
"Third brother, second brother is not, second brother is just..."
Lu Hanxiao didn't listen to what he continued to say and said to his subordinates on the side.
"Since the second brother has said it, drive people out of the house and tell the Li family that Li Xutang has offended our Ning'an Marquis Mansion. I want to ask the patriarch of the Li family how he plans to give an explanation to my Ning'an Marquis Mansion?"
He would not do anything to Li Xutang, otherwise he would be criticized.
If someone makes a fuss about this matter and says what he did to Li Xutang for Si Ning, it will put Si Ning in a disadvantageous situation.
After driving Li Xutang out of the house and saying those words, there was no way that the Li family would take in an abandoned woman who had a grudge against the Ning'an Hou Mansion.
Not to mention the Li family, no one in the entire Daxia would be willing to go against the Marquis of Ning'an for the sake of a divorced Li Xutang.
Li Xutang is a woman who has been silent in the back house for decades. She knows nothing about housekeeping except for some housekeeping skills. How can she gain a foothold in this world?
What awaits her is fearful suffering of displacement.
"No...you can't divorce me. I didn't do anything. It was that maid who was instigated by Si Ning to frame me."
She threw herself at Lu Zhiyuan, held his cuffs with both hands, and cried for mercy.
"Master, I have worked hard to take care of this family for so many years, to give birth to your children, to solve your problems, you can't divorce me,"
"The Li family will not want a divorced daughter. My eldest brother and sister-in-law are all gone. If I go back, I will die alone..."
Lu Zhiyuan threw her away ruthlessly. If Li Xutang didn't die, his reputation would be ruined.
Although Lu Hanxiao didn't say anything threatening, Lu Zhiyuan knew very well that if the old lady died, this would be Lu Hanxiao's leverage to attack him.
Because of him, the main wife had a conflict with a woman outside, resulting in the death of his mother. This incident was enough for him to be unable to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Now that pushing Li Xutang out would not only give an explanation to the world, but also calm Lu Hanxiao's anger, he would naturally not object.
Besides, he has long been disgusted with Li Xutang. If it weren't for the old lady, he would have divorced him long ago.
"Your life and death from now on has nothing to do with me."
It was so heartless that even Si Ning felt chilled watching it.
Too lazy to waste time here watching the second room solve household chores, he glanced at Hong Lian, who had nothing to do, and then pulled Lu Hanxiao away.
As soon as the two of them walked away, Li Xutang was thrown to the ground by Lu Zhiyuan.
Li Xutang raised his eyes and looked sadly at the husband who had been sleeping next to him for more than ten years, as if he was looking at a stranger.
She thought that after so many years of relationship, he would be somewhat intolerable, but she didn't expect that he would push her out to vent his anger on the third room without even blinking.
Li Xutang was not stupid, and he understood Lu Zhiyuan's plan after just a moment's thought.
Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, Li Xutang lowered his eyes and smiled, saying.
"Okay, I am willing to leave the Lu family, but before that I want to meet my mother and marry into the Lu family. My mother is my only relative. I have harmed her, and now I am leaving. I want to see her one last time. "
