When Si Ning came back from outside, she was blocked by Wu Qianqian.
She had a big belly and looked at Si Ning anxiously.
"Third Young Mistress, you are finally back."
Si Ning took her back to the third room. As soon as she sat down, Wu Qianqian complained to Si Ning uneasily.
"Third Young Mistress, I always feel that Mrs. Zhang is uneasy and well-meaning. Today I saw her and Miss Si going in and out together. The two of them had a very happy conversation!"
Si Ning asked Qiu Ju to pour her a cup of hot water, while she picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
She had been talking all afternoon at the hot pot restaurant today, and now she still felt that her throat was uncomfortable and tight.
The tea entered his mouth with a slight bitterness and then slipped into his throat. Si Ningfang felt a little better.
She held the tea cup, lowered her eyes and listened to Wu Qianqian's words. She tapped her white fingers on the table and replied casually.
"The two of them have similar personalities, so it's normal for them to chat together."
"How is it normal? One entered the house relying on the master, and the other is your sister. What can they say?"
"Third Young Mistress, I always feel that Mrs. Zhang is uneasy and kind-hearted. She must be planning something and wants to use Miss Si to do something."
Si Ning smiled and said, "You said they are all guests, what can they do?"
"Then what if Mrs. Zhang doesn't want to be a guest..." Wu Qianqian looked at Si Ning tentatively, and seeing no reaction from her, she continued, "What if Miss Si doesn't want to be a guest either?"
Si Ning raised his eyes and looked at Wu Qianqian. Wu Qianqian's eyes deepened and she leaned in front of Si Ning.
"Third Young Mistress, I have seen Li Xutang and Miss Si having private contact before. Miss Si seems to have taken a liking to... Third Master..."
Si Ning raised his eyebrows, "What the Second Madam said is nonsense. If my sister wanted to marry my husband, she should have told me and not secretly go to others for help."
She denied Wu Qianqian's statement. Wu Qianqian should not continue talking, as this would make Si Ning suspect that her motives were impure.
She originally wanted to use Si Ning's hand to drive Mrs. Zhang out.
Mrs. Zhang's presence in the mansion made Wu Qianqian very uneasy!
Since she arrived, Lu Zhiyuan no longer stepped into her room.
Even though she sent someone to find Lu Zhiyuan because she was unwell, he came to see her perfunctorily the next morning.
Now that she is pregnant, it is inconvenient for her to serve Lu Zhiyuan. Lu Zhiyuan does not have such deep feelings for her and will protect her like a jade.
Wu Qianqian knew that he had hooked up with Honglian before.
She didn't care at that time, a brothel woman posed no threat to her.
But this Mrs. Zhang is different. She is a good woman, and her beauty is hard to hide in her thirties.
She was not good-looking, but Wu Qianqian had seen her flirting with Lu Zhiyuan in private.
That kind of energy is not something she can learn at her age.
Lu Zhiyuan was fascinated by her, and she heard from her servants that he would accompany Mrs. Zhang in the room whenever he was free.
Without Li Xutang, Wu Qianqian thought she could become the mistress of the second room.
But now Mrs. Zhang is afraid that she will ruin her good deeds.
She didn't know what to do and wanted to persuade Si Ning to deal with Mrs. Zhang, but Si Ning was not fooled.
Wu Qianqian returned to her room angrily and bumped into Mrs. Zhang again.
Mrs. Zhang's eyes fell on her belly, and Wu Qianqian raised her hands to protect her vigilantly.
"You are coming back from the third room. With the current relationship between your master and the third room, you still go to the third room?" Mrs. Zhang said in a calm voice.
But these words were educating Wu Qianqian, and Wu Qianqian immediately turned red with anger.
"Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to care about me?"
"Master will not care about me, you are just a woman of unknown origin."
Wu Qianqian roared excitedly, but Mrs. Zhang's expression did not change at all.
She raised her hand to stroke her temples, lowered her eyes and smiled.
"A woman of unknown origin, are you talking about yourself?"
She took another step forward and approached Wu Qianqian.
Wu Qianqian was afraid and wanted to step back, but she tripped and almost fell.
At the critical moment, Mrs. Zhang took her arm and stabilized her body.
Wu Qianqian looked at the person opposite in shock, and Mrs. Zhang said with a half-smile.
"Look, it's very simple for me to want you to leave this home. How much affection do you think Lu Zhiyuan has for you?"
"It's nothing more than a seed in your belly. Without this child, anyone can lie next to him."
Wu Qianqian was horrified and looked at the person opposite with disbelief.
She pulled her wrist away from Mrs. Zhang's hand and stared at her fearfully without speaking immediately.
She didn't know what Mrs. Zhang was going to do, so she was waiting for her to make the first move.
Mrs. Zhang did not beat around the bush with her, "You are right, I will marry you in, but I have no intention of doing anything to you. We are one, and we should not fight among ourselves, but fight against the enemy together."
Wu Qianqian took a deep breath, "I don't understand what you mean, and I don't have any enemies."
Mrs. Zhang didn't care what she said now, she just left a faint sentence, then turned and left.
Wu Qianqian looked at her retreating back, thinking of what she had just said, her eyes darkened a bit.
Two days later, when Si Ning returned home, he bumped into Mrs. Zhang at the door again.
Mrs. Zhang was still very warm to her, "Where did the third young lady come from? Are you free today? I want to sit in your courtyard."
Si Ning stared at her. Mrs. Zhang's delicate jaw and bright red lips made her look charming.
Today she wore a dark purple long coat, which wrapped her body into a smooth shape.
I have to say that Mrs. Zhang has her own characteristics and knows how to maximize her advantages.
Si Ning did not refuse, "Okay, please."
She brought Mrs. Zhang back to the courtyard. Qiu Ju was stunned for a moment when she saw someone coming, then turned around to pour tea.
Mrs. Zhang glanced in the direction she left and said casually.
"You are a very skilled maid. Did you bring her here from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion?"
She didn't hide the fact that she knew about Si Ning's background, and told him openly.
Si Ning was not surprised, she asked with a smile.
"Ma'am, do you understand this?"
"The Zhang family has a lot of properties, some of which involve martial arts schools. I often go to see them, and I can see some of them."
"I have a big family and a big business, so I can't have no ability at all. Otherwise, in this world, I, a widow, will be eaten up by those people."
Mrs. Zhang spoke frankly and showed her details to Si Ning.
You and I chatted like this for an hour. It wasn't until Lu Zhiyuan came to Si Ning to look for someone that the two of them stopped.
Mrs. Zhang did not hesitate to take Lu Zhiyuan's arm and act coquettishly in front of Si Ning.
"I had a great time chatting with the third young lady. Can I come see her more often in the future?"
"I haven't been around the capital much. Can you let the third young lady accompany me?"
Lu Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed. He couldn't be Si Ning's boss, but he didn't want to lose face in front of women, so he said to Si Ning.
"Third brother and sister, if you have nothing to do, go out with Mrs. Zhang for more walks. She is very good at business. Don't you want to open a shop? You can ask her for more advice."
