Wu Qianqian seemed to have been opened up to Ren Tong's second channel. After chatting with the little maid, she kept running into Sining's courtyard.
Sometimes she would bring some food, sometimes a handkerchief she had embroidered by herself, and once she gave Si Ning all the dowry given to her by Butler Wu.
Si Ning naturally noticed her worries and kindly offered some words of comfort.
"I will not be partial to Mrs. Zhang. She gave me a gift that day, and I returned the gift. To me, she is just a guest in the house. Don't be afraid. At this time, the child in your belly is the most important thing. .”
She confiscated Wu Qianqian's dowry, which was all saved by Butler Wu, and was reserved for Wu Qianqian in the future.
Lu Zhiyuan was unreliable. After Wu Qianqian gave birth to the child, she could only rely on herself, and the dowry would become her reliance.
Of course Si Ning wouldn't want this, but in Wu Qianqian's eyes, Si Ning wanted to draw a clear line with her.
In front of Si Ning, she didn't show it, she just smiled and said that if Si Ning didn't regard her as one of her own family members, why should they be so clear about it?
Si Ning told her the pros and cons, and also said that when the child comes out, she will have a lot of money to spend.
She thought Wu Qianqian had listened, but the next day when she passed a restaurant on her way from the hospital, she saw Wu Qianqian and Mrs. Zhang sitting together.
Since Wu Qianqian became pregnant, she rarely goes out.
Now that she was about to give birth, she still took the risk to go out for dinner with Mrs. Zhang. For no other reason than that, she couldn't calm down.
Mrs. Zhang is more difficult to deal with than many people Sining has met. She is a woman in charge of her late husband's property, but she has not been swallowed up, which shows her ability.
Wu Qianqian was no match for her, and Si Ning was a little worried about Wu Qianqian.
For the sake of Butler Wu, she didn't want anything to happen to Wu Qianqian, not to mention the British father-in-law's face.
"It seems like she didn't listen to a word I said." Si Ning thought.
She had persuaded Wu Qianqian that day not to worry about Mrs. Zhang. If Lu Zhiyuan really wanted to marry her, he would marry her from the first day. How could he let her live in the Lu family for so long without any name or status?
Lu Zhiyuan is not stupid. Even if he is obsessed with Mrs. Zhang's beauty, he still knows that Mrs. Zhang has a poisonous tongue. How could a person of her ability only become the second wife of the Ning'an Marquis Mansion? She must have something bigger. The plot has not been revealed yet.
Many people in the house understood this matter, but Wu Qianqian did not.
If she is so eager for quick success, she will definitely fall into Mrs. Zhang's trap.
Si Ning could not just watch Wu Qianqian fall into the abyss, so she asked the concierge to keep an eye on the two of them. If Wu Qianqian returned to the house, she would be asked to come to her yard.
But when the words were brought, Wu Qianqian did not come. Si Ning had no choice but to go there in person, but Wu Qianqian asked her servants to excuse herself because she was not feeling well.
Si Ning frowned and said to the maid who was delivering the message.
"Tell your master that I will come to see her tomorrow."
The maid reported Si Ning's words to Wu Qianqian intact, and Wu Qianqian asked with displeasure on her face.
"What was her tone like when she said that?"
The maid didn't know why and replied truthfully.
"I'm not very happy. Second Madam, please don't mind me. Third Young Madam must have been tired all day, and she doesn't feel happy because of these things."
Wu Qianqian sneered, "Really? She won't lose face to Mrs. Zhang. She still thinks that I am the maid in the third room of Ning'an Marquis Mansion. She is putting on airs for me."
The little maid wanted to say that Si Ning was very hospitable to his servants and didn't put on any airs, but after seeing her master's angry look, she wisely didn't say anything.
Wu Qianqian waved her hand to let people go down, holding her stomach and lost in thought.
The next day, when Si Ning planned to go find Wu Qianqian, he was stopped by Mrs. Zhang again.
She said she had embroidered a few patterns and asked Si Ning to take a look at them for reference.
"Zhiyuan is out and I see that his wallet is old. Can you help me see what kind of clothes are suitable for him?"
Si Ning looked at the five or six patterns in her hand and did not refer to them for him.
"Mrs. Zhang should ask the second wife about the second brother's preferences. How would I know?"
Mrs. Zhang was not surprised that Si Ning would answer like this, nor did she feel embarrassed, so she spoke softly.
"I must have made things difficult for Aning. You must be busy with a lot of things. It's all my fault."
Mrs. Zhang's retreat made it appear that Si Ning was doing something wrong.
Si Ning looked at her with deep eyes, and there was finally a smile on his face.
"No, it's just that I really don't know what the second brother likes. Why don't you call the second lady over and we can give you some advice together."
Before Mrs. Zhang could react, Si Ning had already sent someone to call Wu Qianqian over.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Si Ning thoughtfully but said nothing.
Soon Wu Qianqian arrived. She heard that Mrs. Zhang had come to Si Ning's yard, so she naturally wanted to check on the situation.
When he saw the two of them, he pinched the handkerchief nervously, calmed down his mind, and then bent down to salute Si Ning.
Si Ning waved her hand and asked Qiu Ju to help her sit down.
"It's already this month, why are you still saluting? Be careful."
Wu Qianqian nodded, walked to the side and sat down.
She carefully observed their faces and felt a little relieved when she saw that there was nothing strange on their faces.
"Are you feeling better?"
But the heart that had sunk just now rose again because of Si Ning's sudden question.
She nodded in panic, realized something was wrong, shook her head, then nodded again, and replied awkwardly.
"It's just that I'm heavy and feel a little tired from time to time."
After speaking, he looked at Si Ning with a guilty conscience, and Si Ning nodded.
"It's normal to feel heavy. It's just that at this time, you can't slack off. You have to move around more to help with production."
Wu Qianqian said yes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Si Ning had no intention of causing trouble for her.
Mrs. Zhang saw everything and took over the conversation naturally.
"The third young lady has never given birth, how can she know such details?"
Si Ning didn't hide it, "I know some medical skills. Although I don't know much about childbirth, I also know some general things."
Mrs. Zhang looked surprised, "Is it true? I didn't know that the third young lady had such ability. Who did you learn it from? Not many noble ladies know medical skills."
"I used to learn from the same master, but I only knew a little bit about it. At that time, my mother was often sick and it was inconvenient to ask the doctor to come to my house, so I learned some by myself."
"I see, the third young lady is really eye-opening. She seems to be very proficient in many things."
What she said meant something, and Si Ning smiled without explaining too much.
The topic returned to the patterns embroidered by Mrs. Zhang.
Si Ning showed it to Wu Qianqian and said, "Mrs. Zhang said she wanted to embroider it for her second brother. She asked me for advice. I don't know what my second brother's preferences are. Why don't you come and take a look."
Wu Qianqian's expression was vague and unclear, and she held the pattern for a long time without saying anything.
Si Ning saw this, looked at Mrs. Zhang, and said with a smile.
"This girl must be a taster. To be honest, I am also very curious about Mrs. Zhang's role in embroidering purses for the second brother. You have been in the house for so long. Is it true that you want to marry the second brother as rumored? Brother?"
