Chapter 979: Denying Death.
Li Ning coaxed the baby to sleep, but he didn't feel at ease about putting him in the baby's room, so he opened the door and called the maid in.
"Replace everything on the child's bed and push the bed into my room." Li Ning lowered his voice and commanded.
After a while, the maid quickly prepared everything according to the instructions, and Li Ning carefully put the child on the crib, seeing that he was sleeping peacefully and there was no sign of waking up and crying, he had to change the dress on his body.
And just when Li Ning had just changed his clothes, Shen Muzhi's phone called.
"Mu Zhi, is it going well over there?" As soon as the phone was connected, Li Ning asked.
"It's all good."
"Well, I just put Xiao Yu to sleep. The baby was quite well-behaved and didn't cry at all. ”
There was silence on the phone for a moment, and Shen Muzhi said in a deep voice: "That's good." We'll go back later and we'll see each other. ”
"Okay, be careful on the road."
When talking on the phone, Li Ning kept speaking briskly, not wanting Shen Muzhi to notice what was happening at home, lest they worry that they would rush back in a hurry.
But after hanging up the phone, I faintly felt that Shen Muzhi's tone seemed to be a little strange, as if he had something to say and stopped.
Therefore, I guessed if Shen Muzhi would already know what was happening at home.
Out of the room, Li Ning saw Guo Yi standing by the door of the side hall, and in front of him was Mary who was sitting on a stool with a cower.
As soon as Li Ning turned around, Sun Yan was standing not far from her door, and the two of them looked a little prepared, so that the servants in the mansion did not dare to come out with a cautious atmosphere.
Li Ning walked up to Sun Yan and asked directly, "Did you tell Mu Zhi about Mary?" ”
Sun Yan also nodded unequivocally, "A few minutes ago, Assistant Li called and asked if you had arrived home safely and if everything was okay at home. ”
Sun Yan didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Li Ning also knew it.
She was hired by Shen Muzhi to protect the safety of Li Ning and her children, and to report what happened truthfully and without concealing it, these are her duties.
If Sun Yan hadn't been so loyal and conscientious, Shen Muzhi wouldn't have hired her to protect Li Ning and the child.
Sun Yan thought that Li Ning was displeased, but she just nodded lightly, didn't say anything and didn't show displeasure, her expression seemed to be just saying that she knew a few words.
Li Ning glanced around, but didn't see Uncle Zheng, so he asked Sun Yan: "How is Uncle Zheng, have you asked Dr. Zhao to check him up?" ”
Sun Yan bowed slightly, "I saw that Dr. Zhao and the housekeeper went to the direction of the side room." ”
Li Ning thought about it, but still a little uneasy, glanced at Mary in the direction of the hall, and walked over quickly.
"What did you give Uncle Zheng to eat?" Li Ning asked bluntly.
Mary lowered her head and saw Li Ning's exquisite shoes appear in front of her, and she was a little distracted for a while.
She is three years older than Li Ning, but the identities of the two are very different, she is also a woman, and she also wants such beautiful shoes.
"What do you ask, what do you want to eat for Steward Zheng!"
Seeing that Mary didn't speak, Guo Yi kicked her stool violently.
The stool squeaked against the ground, and Mary's body shook as well, almost falling to the ground.
"It's a laxative." After a moment's pause, Mary spoke.
"What kind of laxative? Where is the rest of the medicine! ”
As a doctor, Li Ning knows very well that it takes a while for ordinary laxatives that can be bought in general pharmacies and hospitals to take effect.
Moreover, Uncle Zheng drank tea and had diarrhea for less than an hour, and Uncle Zheng's face was ugly, and it was not a situation caused by ordinary laxatives.
"I don't know, I just bought it casually on the street, and the medicine has run out, and there is nothing else."
"Where's the box packaging!" Guo Yi asked on behalf of Li Ning.
"Thrown." Mary replied with her head bowed and a muffled voice.
Li Ning didn't talk nonsense with Mary, and directly instructed the servant, "The teacup that Uncle Zheng used, don't clean and keep it." ”
"Don't worry, Grandma Zheng, Steward Zheng has already filled the teacup just now." The servant replied.
Li Ning bowed his head slightly and looked at Mary in front of him thoughtfully.
She had just planned to put the baby to sleep and then interrogate Mary a few times as to why she had done such a thing, and whether she had been instructed to do so.
But since Shen Muzhi already knew about this matter at this time, and Mary seemed to be unwilling to cooperate, she didn't bother to waste her words, just waiting for Shen Muzhi to come back and deal with it.
With such a decision, Li Ning told Mary to take a good look at Mary, and then turned around and left directly.
Mary hung her head and watched the beautiful shoes go away, but she was a little surprised. She also thought that Li Ning would ask her a lot of questions, but she didn't expect it......
Li Ning's abnormal behavior made Mary even more worried.
It didn't take long for Shen Muzhi and his party to come back.
Li Ning got up and took a few steps to greet him, and when he saw the two Shen Muzhi brothers, he followed Mrs. Shen left and right and walked in.
"Grandma."
Seeing Old Madam Shen's frowning expression, Li Ning guessed that she must have known about Mary.
"Where's the babysitter!" Old Madam Shen's cane knocked on the ground with a bang, confirming Li Ning's guess.
"Someone is watching over the side hall." Li Ning replied.
Old Madam Shen turned her head directly and walked towards the side hall, and Li Ning followed behind.
Suddenly, with a "bang", Old Madam Shen's cane waved and landed on the doorpost beside Mary.
Mary shuddered, bounced off her chair, and then fell to the ground.
"I actually hit the ghost idea on my great-grandson of the Shen family! Say, Who gave you the guts of the dog! Old Madam Shen shouted angrily.
Old Madam Shen was already cold and solemn in the eyes of outsiders, and now she has no one to resist when she starts a fire.
Even Li Ning, a relative junior, couldn't help but be a little nervous at the moment, not to mention Mary, who was a thief, and the whole person couldn't stop trembling when she sat on the ground.
"I ...... I just want to hold ...... It's just a little young master basking in the sun. ”
Mary was crying, still clinging to the excuse she had just said.
"If you just want to hold Xiao Yu to bask in the sun, why do you want to give the housekeeper a cup of tea mixed with laxatives to support him first, and cover the monitor in the baby's room with something?" Li Ning asked in a deep voice.
"I ...... I ......"
Mary panicked, and couldn't think of a reasonable excuse to excuse the lie.
"Tell me why you did it, who instructed you. If you have a wronged debtor, you may be dealt with leniently. Otherwise......"
Li Ning, who has always treated people with everything, also had a bit of ruthlessness in his tone at the moment.
Mary clenched her teeth, terrified, but struggled inwardly to speak.
"It seems that you want to cover up the people behind the scenes and resist this matter yourself?" Li Ning asked with a threat.
