Upon hearing this, Madam Hai looked embarrassed and said, "Miss Mo'er, I came here quietly. I don't have the key, so I can't let you out."

Chen Moer's hands and feet were bound, and she frowned and asked, "Didn't my aunt go to Shen Ningyuan and ask her to let me go?"

Matron Hai shook her head, "Chen Ningyuan is determined to lock the young lady up here, and there's nothing Madam can do about it."

Chen Moer's heart sank, her eyes fell on the corner of the wall, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Miss Mo'er?" Nanny Hai called out.

Chen Moer came back to her senses, "Is the old lady back?"

Nanny Hai shook her head. "No news yet. They should be on their way."

Chen Moer breathed a sigh of relief, "That should be soon. When the old lady comes back, she will definitely put pressure on Shen Ningyuan and force Shen Ningyuan to let me out."

"Miss Mo'er, would you like to eat something? I made you some sweet-scented osmanthus cake and some water."

"Nonsense, I haven't eaten for a whole day. How can I not eat?" Chen Moer scolded.

Nanny Hai looked at the cake in her hand, still looking embarrassed.

Seeing her like this, Chen Moer had no choice but to move her body, like a twisting snake, to the crack of the door.

Nanny Hai fed osmanthus cake and water into Chen Moer's mouth through the crack in the door.

Because the gap was too small, no matter how careful Nanny Hai was, she was bound to make mistakes.

When feeding her water, the water overflowed from the corners of Chen Moer's mouth, choking her and causing her to cough violently.

"Cough cough cough, be careful, you're choking me!" Chen Moer scolded.

Matron Hai quickly apologized, "It's my fault."

Chen Moer rolled her eyes at Nanny Hai and continued eating.

"Cousin Mo'er, since you're locked up in my territory, shouldn't you be quieter?"

Suddenly, Shen Ningyuan's lukewarm voice sounded.

Chen Moer paused and looked at Nanny Hai in surprise, "Is that Shen Ningyuan's voice?"

"yes."

Chen Moer immediately stopped drinking water and shouted through the crack in the door, "Chen Ningyuan, you'd better let me go now, otherwise when the old lady comes back, you'll be in big trouble!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Ningyuan's shoes appeared in the crack of the door.

"A cousin living in the Marquis' Mansion, can you let the old lady save you?" Shen Ningyuan said coldly.

"Why not?" Chen Mo'er gritted her teeth and said, "My uncle is not here, and the old lady has the highest say in the mansion. It's no big deal for her to save me."

Shen Ningyuan continued to snort coldly, "Then I want to see how Madam Ji is going to save you."

As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan looked at Madam Hai in a calm tone, "After you've fed me, get out of here and don't show up in my yard again!"

Nanny Hai paused and continued to feed Chen Moer water.

It seemed that she was too nervous because of being stared at by Shen Ningyuan, and Nanny Hai choked Chen Moer several times.

Later, Chen Moer didn't want to eat in such a mess anymore, so she closed her eyes and told Madam Hai to get out.

Matron Hai shrank her neck and left with the last bit of food.

At this time, Shen Ningyuan walked over slowly, squatted down and looked at the miserable Chen Moer through the crack of the door, with a half-smile on his face.

Chen Moer panted, "Chen Ningyuan, seeing me in such a mess, you are very proud, right?"

"What should I be proud of?" Shen Ningyuan raised an eyebrow. "I don't care about you. What does your being in trouble have to do with me?"

“You——” Chen Moer paused, seemingly unable to react to what Shen Ningyuan meant.

"I'm not Ji Yunhuan. I never spend any time on people I don't care about."

"Just stay here and wait for the old lady you mentioned to come and save you."

Shen Ningyuan slowly stood up and threw down a sentence before leaving: "I want to see how she is going to save you."

When Chen Moer came to her senses, Shen Ningyuan had already left.

In the evening.

Shen Ningyuan slept peacefully for the entire afternoon.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Lan Yin said beside her: "Miss, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion is here."

Shen Ningyuan paused, and her eyes suddenly cleared up, "Oh? We're here so soon."

Sitting up, he asked again, "When did you arrive?"

"About an hour ago, the servant from the front yard came to inform us, but I didn't want to wake the young lady, so I sent him away."

"Well, I'll get up first."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old woman's voice was heard outside the door.

"Is the young lady awake? The old lady has been waiting in the front hall for a long time."

Shen Ningyuan winked at Lan Yin, who understood immediately.

She turned around and stood on the steps, shouting at the old woman, "The old lady is back. Why are you waiting for my young lady instead of taking a good rest?"

The old woman was frightened by Lan Yin and was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses.

Pointing at Lan Yin, she scolded, "How dare you! I'm Nanny Lian, the old lady's maid. You have such a big mouth!"

"You still know that you are the nanny beside the old lady. Why are you making trouble in our courtyard?" Lan Yin retorted.

Nanny Lian's face instantly twisted, her chest heaving with anger. She pointed at Lan Yin and cursed, "You little bitch! You're just a servant girl, yet you dare to be so rude to me? You're really outrageous!"

"The old lady hasn't been back to the Marquis' Mansion for many years, and it has become so unruly. I'll report this to the old lady and have her discipline you, this unruly thing!"

"You want to discipline me?" Lan Yin showed no fear at all. She raised her chin slightly, her eyes full of disdain. "I'm the young lady's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. I receive a monthly allowance from the General's Mansion, and I have nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion. If the Madam doesn't have the right to discipline me, what right does the old lady have to discipline me?"

"You, you, you..." Nanny Lian was so angry that she couldn't breathe. "What a sharp-tongued maid! She doesn't even take the old lady seriously!"

"I don't even know any old lady, so why should I take her seriously?" Lan Yin snorted nonchalantly.

After hearing this, Nanny Lian became even angrier.

He immediately started cursing, "Those born into a barbarian general family have no rules!"

"Who are you saying has no manners?" Lan Yin was extremely angry.

Nanny Lian continued to point at Lan Yin and cursed, "I'm talking to you! You little bitch from the General's Mansion, you have no manners!"

After the words fell, Shen Ningyuan's cold voice came from behind Lan Yin.

"People in the General's Mansion have no rules, but you, an old scoundrel who scolds women on the street, have rules?"

Shen Ningyuan walked out of the room and looked at Nanny Lian coldly.

Being stared at by Shen Ningyuan, Lian Ma was frightened for a moment and her body stiffened.

But she still forced herself to calm down and straightened her chest. "Madam, I have been by the old lady's side for decades. I accompanied her to obtain the imperial edict personally bestowed by the late emperor. Naturally, I know etiquette and understand current affairs."

As she spoke, the nanny snorted coldly, her words filled with innuendo: "Unlike some other families' daughters, who are still so unruly even after getting married, and don't even understand the most basic respect and inferiority!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yin was instantly furious.

"You old rascal, who are you calling unruly?"

He rolled up his sleeves and rushed over, "It's fine if you say that about me, but you even dare to say that my young lady has no manners. I'll tear your mouth apart today!"

But before Keren could rush over, she was stopped by Shen Ningyuan.
