The two people still don't know what the inside story of that battle was.
But they knew very well that this was definitely not the work of one person.
Lu Hanxiao didn't want Si Ning to get involved, so he warned.
"This matter ends here. I will ask Li Xutang to be transferred to another place, and I will investigate the rest."
Si Ning nodded and agreed happily.
But she was still thinking about the testimonies Li Xutang said, and she always felt that something was not right.
While he was pondering, the maid's voice came from outside the door.
"Second Madam, why are you here?"
Si Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at the person opposite. Lu Hanxiao smoothed his clothes, walked to the table and sat down.
Wu Qianqian saw this scene when she came in. Si Ning was leaning on the bed, and Lu Hanxiao was sitting by the bed offering her tea.
Wu Qianqian looked a little embarrassed, coughed lightly and then greeted the two of them.
"I've met the general, I've met the third young lady."
Although she is now Lu Zhiyuan's wife, it stands to reason that Si Ning and Lu Hanxiao should call her sister-in-law.
But every time Wu Qianqian saw the two of them, she would salute politely and treat herself as the cleaning maid in the third room.
Si Ning said it several times, but when she didn't change, he didn't say anything and let her go.
Lu Hanxiao nodded slightly at her and had no intention of leaving.
Seeing this, Wu Qianqian squatted towards Si Ning and said.
"Qian'er came today to apologize to the third young lady."
Si Ning asked her to get up and speak, and his eyes fell on Wu Qianqian.
In a few days, Wu Qianqian returned to her original state.
It's just that his face is not very good, showing a bit of abnormal paleness.
I had just been on the verge of life and death and had a caesarean section. I was able to get out of bed and move around so quickly. My physical fitness was already very good.
"Sit down first."
With Lu Hanxiao around, Wu Qianqian didn't dare.
There was no one in the entire Ning'an Hou Mansion who was not afraid of Lu Hanxiao, except for Si Ning.
Lu Hanxiao found an excuse and left, leaving the house to the two of them.
As soon as he left, Wu Qianqian's eyes turned red.
"Third Young Mistress, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have helped Mrs. Zhang do evil. I had no choice at the time. She threatened me with the child in my belly. If I didn't do what she said, she would make me I actually don’t want to abort the child without anyone noticing..."
Wu Qianqian started to cry, softly at first, then broke down in tears.
She was trembling all over, and then she knelt down in front of Si Ning.
"Third Young Mistress, I am only here for the child in my belly. You also know my situation in the Lu family. In the past, when Li Xutang was here, he always put pressure on me. I can't rely on anyone, only the child in my belly. If the child is gone, , I'm afraid that the master will believe what Mrs. Zhang said and kick me out of the house."
Si Ning glanced at her and pointed to the chair beside her.
"You haven't recovered yet, so sit down and talk."
Wu Qianqian propped herself up on the chair, sat on the chair, took out the handkerchief from her waist and wiped the tears on her face.
She cried sadly, but Si Ning was not moved at all.
"You know very well that second brother will not drive you out of the house. You are not Butler Wu's daughter now."
Wu Qianqian's eyes flashed unnaturally, "I was too scared at the time, and I just thought I was a helpless housekeeper's daughter."
"You think it's me that Mrs. Zhang wants to deal with, and as long as she achieves her goal, she won't do anything to you, right?" Si Ning asked.
Wu Qianqian tightened her fingers on the handkerchief and gritted her teeth and replied, "Third Young Mistress, you and I both know very well that I am not the daughter of the Yang family at all. Mrs. Zhang also knows that she wants to expose me as a threat. If it really becomes public, what will I face?”
"Third Young Mistress, I know what I did was wrong, but what if you were me?"
"Everyone thinks that Mrs. Zhang is trying to kill two birds with one stone, but a little person like me is not worthy of such a scheme. She is not trying to take my position. The person she wants to pull down is you!"
Wu Qianqian discovered this from the beginning. If Mrs. Zhang really wanted to deal with her, she would not threaten her and just attack her directly.
Si Ning narrowed his eyes and said, "In addition to threatening you, she also promised you a lot of benefits, right?"
Wu Qianqian stiffened and subconsciously wanted to deny it, but after looking at her boss Ning's deep eyes, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.
Si Ning knows everything.
So she didn't come to her directly, but asked her father to come to her and make the decision for her.
Si Ning added, "Actually, you should also know that Mrs. Zhang has a greater chance of winning if you die and get rid of me. Wu Qianqian, what are you thinking about?"
"Is that child really dispensable to you?"
Wu Qianqian was stunned for a moment, surprise flashed in her eyes.
Si Ning lowered his eyes, hiding his disappointment.
She thought that a mother would give everything she had for her children, but she didn't know that not all mothers were like that.
Some people will choose to give up the child in their belly to gain a future for themselves.
Wu Qianqian was educated and raised by Butler Wu since she was a child. Based on Butler Wu's expectations for her, she would be married to a good family and become the head matron in the future.
The children trained by Housekeeper Wu will not be without a bit of wealth. Even if Wu Qianqian has never seen the intrigues in the big house, she is familiar with them.
Only by getting rid of her can we deal a heavy blow to Si Ning. Even if the child in her belly falls out, it will not be enough to crush Si Ning.
Mrs. Zhang understands this, and so does Wu Qianqian.
So she had no intention of cooperating with Mrs. Zhang at the beginning. She just wanted to use Mrs. Zhang to get rid of the child in her belly and turn herself into a victim.
Use everyone's sympathy to feel guilty about her, so that she can move forward steadily in the Lu family, and can secure her position as the second wife of the Lu family, or the position of the mistress of the Lu family!
Wu Qianqian planned everything, including letting Si Ning know that she and Mrs. Zhang were colluding.
She thought she could hide everything, but she didn't expect Si Ning to know everything.
A chill ran down her spine, and she sat blankly on the chair, trembling.
Si Ning did not comfort her, "Wu Qianqian, for the sake of Butler Wu, I won't argue with you this time. I won't interfere with whether the child is your choice, but I want to give you a piece of advice. "
"Anyone who commits unjust acts will be punished by death. Don't let me know that you are not good for Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Qian, otherwise I will make you regret everything you have done!"
This is not to scare Wu Qianqian.
She was the one who introduced Wu Qianqian to Madam Qian and Madam Yang, and she must be responsible for this matter to the end.
Even if she just wanted to borrow their identities to help Wu Qianqian at first, and Mrs. Yang later regarded Wu Qianqian as her own daughter, she did not expect the development, but she is still responsible for this matter.
She beat Wu Qianqian hard, and Wu Qianqian left the room in despair.
When he walked to the door, he saw Si Wan coming out of the side hall.
Si Wan has always lived in the house, but since the last time she was implicated in Li Xutang's conspiracy, she rarely showed up. Even Si Ning had almost forgotten that such a person lived in the house.
Seeing Wu Qianqian's appearance at this time, Si Wan kindly stepped forward to comfort her.
"You just had a miscarriage, and your health is very important. My sister is too. Why are you allowed to go out alone? I will take you back..."
Wu Qianqian glanced sideways at her and regained some sense.
She nodded and thanked her weakly.
"Thank you very much, Miss Si. I offended the Third Young Mistress today, so I just want to ask Miss Si for advice on how to coax the person well."
