Xie Wanzhou gritted his teeth and said, "Luo Ziyuan, are you kidding me?"

Luo Ziyuan slurped his noodles. "What's wrong with teasing you? You rely on your status as my senior brother to show off in front of me every day. Can't I tease you a little?"

"I really want my master to take you back!" Xie Wanzhou gritted his teeth.

"Please, do you think I want to stay here? If it weren't for my master's orders, I would have left long ago!" Luo Ziyuan fought back.

Xie Wanzhou was furious. He glared at Luo Ziyuan and asked, "Which direction did she go?"

"I just took a look and it seems to be the Shen family."

"Why did she go back to the Shen family?" Xie Wanzhou asked puzzledly.

"How should I know this? If you want to know, go ask her!" Luo Ziyuan asked back bluntly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Wanzhou left without looking back.

Only Luo Ziyuan was left standing there blankly, still holding the unfinished noodles in his hand.

"Haha, whenever it comes to the little widow's affairs, Xie Wanzhou becomes abnormal... What? Are you not doing your work anymore?"

As he said that, Luo Ziyuan rolled his eyes in disgust and continued to eat the noodles with a "slurp slurp" sound.

-

General's Mansion.

Shen Ningyuan returned to the Shen family, but found that all the servants in the mansion looked hurried.

Lan Yin asked doubtfully, "What happened? Did something happen in the General's Mansion?"

Shen Ningyuan frowned, "I don't know."

Afterwards, Shen Ningyuan stopped a servant and asked, "What happened? Why does everyone in the mansion look so hurried?"

The servant who was stopped was stunned when he saw that it was Shen Ningyuan, and asked: "Why did the eldest lady come back suddenly?"

"I went out for a walk and passed by the General's Mansion. I came back to see my parents." Shen Ningyuan glanced around. "Did something happen in the mansion?"

The servant nodded quickly, "How would the eldest lady know? Didn't the cousin disappear before?"

Hearing the other party mention Cui Mingzhu, Shen Ningyuan frowned and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with cousin?"

"My cousin went missing. After searching for several days, there was no news at all. But she was brought back today!"

Shen Ningyuan's pupils shrank, "Cui Mingzhu is back?"

The servant nodded, "Yes, she is back, but the cousin is covered in wounds, and her stomach was cut several times, but they have been stitched up."

"Who sent her back?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.

The servant shook his head. "I don't know. She was thrown at the gate of the general's mansion early in the morning. The general and his wife are still investigating the matter! I don't know what kind of misfortune has befallen my cousin to have to encounter such a thing!"

Shen Ningyuan could no longer hear what the other party was saying, and said in a light tone: "Okay, I get it, you go and get busy first!"

"My lady, I will take my leave now!"

After the servant left, Lan Yin noticed that Shen Ningyuan looked strange.

He quickly asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, let's go to the backyard now and see what's going on!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ningyuan walked towards the backyard with a serious expression.

Cui Mingzhu had clearly been killed by Ji Yunchuan, so how could she come back alive?

When the man in black took Cui Mingzhu away, he said he would give the Shen family a surprise.

Could this be the surprise he was talking about?

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan quickened his pace and walked towards the backyard.

As soon as I walked to the backyard, I ran into Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue.

Seeing the two of them, Shen Ningyuan asked anxiously: "Brother, second brother, what's going on?"

The two looked at Shen Ningyuan and shook their heads helplessly, "Cui Mingzhu was sent back and is now covered in wounds. Mother was so worried that she almost fainted from crying!"

"What?"

Shen Ningyuan was shocked on the spot.

The thing she was most worried about finally happened.

Mother cares about Cui Mingzhu as much as she does about herself.

Now that Cui Mingzhu is injured so seriously, her mother must be very sad.

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan asked anxiously: "Brother, second brother, are you sure that person is really Cui Mingzhu?"

Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue exchanged a glance, and the latter asked doubtfully, "Sister, why are you asking this? Cui Mingzhu is Cui Mingzhu, how could she be fake?"

Shen Ningyuan looked solemn, shook his head imperceptibly, and said: "The one who was sent back may not be Cui Mingzhu, because Cui Mingzhu is already dead. I saw Ji Yunchuan kill her with my own eyes!"

"What?" Shen Haoyue was shocked on the spot, "Sister, are you sure you didn't see it wrong? Cui Mingzhu is really dead?"

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan looked at Shen Haobai, “Brother, didn’t you tell the second brother about that matter?”

Shen Haobai shook his head, "I've been too busy these past few days. As soon as I came back, I had to accompany your sister-in-law. I haven't had time to tell him yet."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Shen Haoyue asked in confusion: "What's the matter? We are siblings, what big thing are you hiding from me?"

Shen Ningyuan glanced around and whispered, "Second brother, let's go to the study and talk."

"good."

Shen Haoyue responded, and the three of them went to the study together.

After explaining everything clearly, Shen Haoyue frowned and gritted his teeth, saying, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! I didn't expect Ji Yunchuan to be so vicious that he wouldn't even let his own flesh and blood go!"

After saying that, Shen Haoyue looked at Shen Ningyuan, "Sister, it's a good thing you saw through his true face early on, otherwise I would be really worried. If you lived with such a person for the rest of your life, I would be so worried!"

Shen Ningyuan chuckled and said, “It doesn’t matter. Now that you can see clearly, it’s not too late.”

Shen Haobai was not as relaxed as Shen Ningyuan. He frowned and said, "But this villain has been hiding in the dark and has not shown up. We can't do anything to him!"

"If it weren't for the purpose of uncovering the mastermind behind this, I would have sent Ji Yunchuan to hell long ago!"

"Don't worry, big brother and second brother, as long as we force Ji Yunchuan to show up, he is in the open and we are in the dark, the mastermind behind this will definitely be exposed!"

Hearing this, Shen Haobai lost his patience.

He roared, "Who on earth is it that is plotting against our Ji family like this?"

Shen Haoyue snorted coldly, "Isn't this clear? It must be someone from the royal family!"

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan looked at Shen Haoyue in surprise.

I didn’t expect that my second brother could see things so clearly.

But then I thought, my second brother has always been a thoughtful person, how could he not notice this?

At this time, Shen Haobai suddenly looked at Shen Ningyuan and asked suddenly: "Sister, you came back suddenly today, is there something wrong?"

Shen Ningyuan nodded, took out the account book and letter from his sleeve, and handed them to Shen Haoyue.

He instructed: "Second brother, this is the evidence to bring down the Ji family. I just got it today. It's not safe in my hands, so I'll give it to you for safekeeping."

Shen Haoyue and Shen Haobai looked at each other, and they began to look through the account books and letters eagerly.

After reading it, the two looked at Shen Ningyuan with eyes full of shock and surprise.
