Chapter 571: Miss Du Protects Her Son
Lu Yunjue didn't even look at Jiang Ning: "If you want to kneel, kneel here!"
He walked away, looking very angry.
"What on earth is going on?" Hu Xin'er was confused.
The maid stepped forward, hinting at a complaint: "Young Madam, I don't know what happened today, but the Second Young Master kicked the young lady out early this morning, saying she shouldn't stay in the old lady's room, so as not to bother her!"
Hu Xiner calmed down and found that the maid in front of her looked to be in her thirties, dressed simply. Perhaps because of her poor life, her face showed signs of old age.
This is exactly the person they suspected was Li Ju, one of the traitors.
Because Li Ju often accompanies the old lady, she often comes into contact with Jiang Ning.
When Lu's mother fell asleep, she was the one who comforted Jiang Ning.
As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Ning cried even louder on the ground: "I want to follow my mother, I want to follow my mother!"
Li Ju said distressedly, "The young lady has been staying with the old lady these days, and the old lady loves her very much. With the young lady by her side, the old lady might wake up faster, don't you think?"
Hu Xiner looked at her without saying a word.
Li Ju then realized that as a slave, she seemed to have crossed the line, but she was a good citizen with a living indenture, not a slave with a death indenture, so she didn't need to be so fearful.
Moreover, she felt that what she said made some sense. She used to work for the old lady. When the old lady's condition suddenly worsened, she was sent by the second young master to sweep the yard.
However, cleaning work is not as decent and easy as serving the old lady. It was she who instigated Jiang Ning to serve the old lady. She wanted to make a contribution by this and regain the trust of her masters!
Hu Xiner had a very sharp eye and could see through the twists and turns in her heart in just a few glances, but she did not dare to conclude that Li Ju was the traitor.
After the last incident, all the servants around Lu's mother were replaced, and Lu Yunjue took care of all the personal matters himself and never allowed others to interfere.
If Li Ju is fine, then it is natural for her to feel resentful. But if she is really a traitor, then her desire to return to serve Lu's mother is likely to be out of ulterior motives.
At this time, Mu Qing said calmly: "Yun Jue has his reasons for doing things. Help the young lady up first."
Jiang Ning was crying and making a fuss on the ground, and his fierce look made the servants afraid to get close to him.
Mu Qing couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He had no feelings for this "cousin" who he had inexplicably recognized.
"Why don't I press her acupoints?" Seeing that his servants couldn't control Jiang Ning, he turned his head to ask his wife for her opinion.
Hu Xin'er was a little embarrassed: "She has a childish temper. Maybe she just hasn't come to her senses yet. Why don't I go and try to persuade her first?"
Mu Qing asked back, "You're pregnant too, why are you going to give in to her? She looks so fierce, what if she hits you?"
Seeing that he was only concerned about protecting her, Hu Xin'er couldn't help but laugh, "We can't just let her cry here, can we? It wouldn't be nice to press her acupoints rashly. Others would think we were torturing her."
Mu Qing pursed his lips, looking unhappy.
But although he did not refute, his arms were tightly holding Hu Xiner, preventing her from moving at all, let alone going over to comfort Jiang Ning.
Hu Xin'er had no choice but to let Xiao Liu go over to comfort Jiang Ning, and then she whispered to the people around her, "You are the head of the family now, you can't be so willful."
Unexpectedly, Mu Qing replied seriously: "My wife is the head of the family."
Hu Xin'er was helpless: "Then why don't you listen to me?"
Mu Qing frowned, as if he had made a very difficult decision. He turned around, lowered his head and whispered to her, "My lady, will you listen to me? Just this once."
His eyes were focused, affectionate, serious, and a little pleading, coupled with the devilish face under the mask, Hu Xiner almost felt overwhelmed.
Mu Qing actually used the beauty trap for such a small matter!
She had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll listen to you this time."
At this moment, even sharper cries erupted from the courtyard. Jiang Ning kicked his legs vigorously: "Bad guy! Don't come over! Don't come over!"
Xiao Liu was kicked to the side, feeling both pained and aggrieved, but she still held back her tears and stepped forward: "Young Miss, I'm not a bad person. Please get up first. The ground is cold. Don't catch a cold..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was kicked hard again.
Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel a little scared. If Mu Qing hadn't stopped her out of caution, she would probably be the one being kicked now.
How could the child be saved after this kick? Mu Qing also thought of this problem, and looked at Jiang Ning with increasing impatience.
At this time, the servant came hurriedly to report: "Master, Madam, Miss Du is here."
Mu Qing couldn't help but frown: "What is she doing here?"
The servant said hesitantly, "She is accompanied by the young lady's maid. It seems that the young lady sent someone to invite her..."
Jiang Ning doesn't look smart, so why would he send someone to invite Miss Du?
With this doubt, Hu Xin'er confirmed again and again, but heard Jiang Ning crying: "Sister Du, I want Sister Du to seek justice for me!"
She suddenly stood up and ran out quickly.
The couple hurriedly followed behind, and Hu Xiner said breathlessly, "Ning'er, slow down!"
As soon as Jiang Ning reached the door, he threw himself into Miss Du's arms: "Woo woo, Sister Du, my cousin bullied me."
Although Miss Du knew this little beggar before, they did not have much close contact because the little beggar was shy.
Now being held in Jiang Ning's small body with full of dependence, she was a little surprised at first, and then felt distressed.
"What's the matter?" she coaxed softly.
Seeing someone backing her up, Jiang Ning burst into tears: "I wanted to stay with Mom, but my cousin said he didn't like me and was annoyed when he saw me. He even kicked me out and told me not to see Mom anymore."
Miss Du knew that she was adopted by Lu's mother. She was a little surprised when she heard it, and when she saw that Mu Qing looked unhappy, she thought that Mu Qing had done something bad.
She frowned, questioning, "Jiang Ning never cries like this normally. I wonder what kind of injustice Master Lu has caused her?"
Mu Qing said unhappily, "This is our Lu family's affair. Even though Miss Du lives next door, she shouldn't interfere too much, right?"
He had long been displeased with Miss Du's sneaking into the Lu family.
Miss Du knew her behavior was inappropriate, but she hadn't done anything wrong, so she said confidently, "After all, Jiang Ning was entrusted to you by me. She's been wronged, so don't I even have the right to ask questions?"
Hu Xin'er sighed, "Ms. Du, our family has been a lot of things lately, and everyone is in a bad mood. How about this, after I get to the bottom of things, I'll tell you everything again?"
