Yi Ge subconsciously looked at Chen Ningyuan and was about to speak.

But she saw Shen Ningyuan also looking at her, putting her index finger on her lips and making a "silence" gesture.

Then, Shen Ningyuan said in lip language: "Let's go to the secret room from the back."

Yi Ge nodded, walked to the villa with Shen Ningyuan, and entered the secret room of the main house from the woodshed.

Walking into the secret room, through the small hole in the bookshelf, Shen Ningyuan saw Ji Yunchuan with a ferocious face, standing condescendingly in front of Cui Mingzhu.

His voice was low and suppressed. "Write it down! Tell me who cut your tongue and who plotted against you! I will definitely seek justice for you!"

Upon hearing this, Cui Mingzhu immediately became excited.

He picked up the brush on the ground and couldn't wait to write Shen Ningyuan's name on the rice paper.

However, just as the tip of the pen touched the paper, Cui Mingzhu suddenly thought of something and stopped writing.

He suddenly looked up and looked at Ji Yunchuan.

When their eyes met, Cui Mingzhu caught a flash of murderous intent in his eyes.

At this moment, a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.

Cui Mingzhu couldn't believe what she saw, but the facts were before her eyes—as Shen Ningyuan had expected, Ji Yunchuan really wanted to kill her!

A terrible thought came to Cui Mingzhu's mind: Would Ji Yunchuan kill her immediately as soon as she wrote down Shen Ningyuan's name?

Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu's hand holding the pen couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Noticing Cui Mingzhu's strange behavior, Ji Yunchuan's heart tightened, but he pretended to be calm and anxiously urged, "Why don't you write anymore? Hurry up and write. If you don't tell me who cut off your tongue, how can I help you get justice?"

Cui Mingzhu pursed her lips and wrote a sentence on the paper: But you wanted to kill me just now, why?

Seeing this, Ji Yunchuan was slightly stunned.

Then he squatted down, raised his hand to push Cui Mingzhu's hair behind her head, and tried to make his attitude gentle.

She said softly, "Zhu'er, are you stupid? How could Brother Yunchuan really want to kill you? You're pregnant with our child, so it's even more impossible for me to kill you. I was so angry just now that I lost my mind and hit him too hard."

Cui Mingzhu froze for a moment, obviously not believing what he said.

Seeing this, Ji Yunchuan continued to persuade: "Zhu'er, even if it's not for the child or for you, you are still the cousin of the general's mansion. Your aunt loves you so much. If I really kill you, the general's mansion will not let the Ji family go, right?"

When Cui Mingzhu heard Ji Yunchuan mention Cui Jin, her expression relaxed a little, and she seemed to believe it a little.

Shen Ningyuan, who saw this scene, clenched her fists in anger.

It turned out that Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu both knew that their mother loved Cui Mingzhu very much.

That's why Cui Mingzhu dared to betray the Shen family without any scruples, because she was fearless!

The more Shen Ningyuan thought about it, the angrier she became.

How dare Cui Mingzhu trample on her mother's love for her like this!

Seeing Cui Mingzhu was showing some signs of wavering, Ji Yunchuan struck while the iron was hot and quickly urged, "So, Zhu'er, what are you still hesitating about? Hurry up and write down that person's name. Brother Yunchuan will go and settle the score with that person right away!"

But even so, Cui Mingzhu is still struggling.

Seeing her hesitation, Ji Yunchuan seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and asked anxiously, "Is it Shen Ningyuan?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Mingzhu paused holding the pen.

Even Shen Ningyuan, who was hiding behind the secret room, couldn’t help but be stunned.

Ji Yunchuan was not stupid, he guessed it was her so quickly.

Ji Yunchuan didn't notice Cui Mingzhu's actions, but just analyzed to himself: "At that time, everyone was called to the front hall, only Shen Ningyuan was still in the ancestral hall, and at that time, I asked you to take care of Shen Ningyuan."

At the end of his speech, Ji Yunchuan almost roared: "Tell me, is it Shen Ningyuan!"

If it was Shen Ningyuan.

That means she already knows the whole truth.

By then, his entire plan will fail!

Cui Mingzhu held the brush tightly, still making a final struggle, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

Thinking that Ji Yunchuan would still take her life, Cui Mingzhu suddenly didn't want to tell him the truth anymore.

Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu gritted his teeth and scribbled down a name.

"Chen Moer?"

Ji Yunchuan frowned, his face full of doubt and denial.

He immediately retorted calmly, "It can't be her!"

The name Cui Mingzhu gave casually could not be Chen Moer.

But so what?

Since Ji Yunchuan was determined to kill her, she would not tell him that Shen Ningyuan had seen through their conspiracy!

Sure enough, after confirming that the name Cui Mingzhu gave was Chen Moer, Ji Yunchuan stopped asking questions.

The look he gave Cui Mingzhu turned completely cold, and he no longer concealed the murderous intent in his heart.

He spoke lightly, his voice as cold as a frost blade: "Well, now that you have written your name, you can die in peace."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunchuan took out the dagger he carried with him and stabbed it into Cui Mingzhu's abdomen.

Cui Mingzhu's eyes widened instantly, full of disbelief.

After staring at Ji Yunchuan for a while, Cui Mingzhu's gaze slowly moved down to her bleeding abdomen.

His lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.

She could never have imagined that Ji Yunchuan stabbed her in the abdomen - where their child was still being nurtured.

Cui Mingzhu stretched out her hand tremblingly, and used her last bit of strength to hold Ji Yunchuan's hand, her eyes full of despair and pain.

It seemed to be silently asking: He could stab anywhere, why her abdomen?
