On the other side, Cui Jin was checking the account books in the accounting office.

With her many years of business experience, she casually flipped through a few pages and determined that there was indeed a problem with the mansion's account books.

She frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I haven't checked the accounts in the mansion for a while. How come there are so many problems with the accounts?"

The accountant quickly said, "Madam, I just noticed this recently when I was checking the accounts, so I quickly notified you to come and take a look."

"Don't be nervous. I know this isn't your problem. Someone is secretly plotting something."

As he spoke, Cui Jin frowned even more tightly.

"Don't make any noise at this time. I have my own plans."

There was a traitor in the general's mansion!

She must find this person out!

Cui Jin continued to look through the account book.

"Mom, something bad has happened!"

Suddenly, Song Yaner's anxious voice came from outside the accounting office.

When Cui Jin put down the account book, she saw Song Yan'er, pregnant, hurriedly running over the threshold.

Seeing her panic, Cui Jin quickly put down the account book and walked over to calm Song Yaner.

"Child, walk slowly... You're still pregnant, be careful not to get bumped or hurt."

After calming Song Yan'er down, Cui Jin asked, "What's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Song Yan'er took a breath and said anxiously, "Mother, the maid from Yuan'er's yard came to tell me that Yuan'er and Mingzhu had a quarrel and asked us to go over quickly."

"What?" Cui Jin raised her voice. "Why would Yuan'er and Mingzhu suddenly start arguing? They have such a good relationship!"

Cui Jin thought of something and said, "No, I just passed by the front yard and saw Cui Mingzhu go to Yuan'er's yard with an unusual look on her face... Something must have happened!"

Song Yan'er shook her head and said, "I don't know the specific situation yet... Mother, let's go over and take a look. Don't let them fight... Yuan'er just experienced the pain of losing her husband, and her body is weak. If Mingzhu hurts her, it will be bad!"

"Yes, yes, let's go over there quickly..."

Cui Jin also reacted immediately and pulled Song Yan'er out of the accounting office.

At this time, Shen Ningyuan was still confronting Cui Mingzhu through a door.

Seeing Cui Mingzhu's astonished look, Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Just because you are my cousin, you can lecture me at will?"

Cui Mingzhu wanted to refute, but Shen Ningyuan did not give her a chance to refute.

As soon as she opened her mouth, Shen Ningyuan interrupted her directly: "But cousin, the Shen family didn't raise you just to let you teach me how to do things."

These words were like a slap in the face to Cui Mingzhu.

The hidden shame in her heart was exposed by Shen Ningyuan.

It made her heart beat faster, her eyes bloodshot, and her lips tremble.

Cui Mingzhu looked at Shen Ningyuan and couldn't utter a word of rebuttal for a long time.

"Cousin, do you understand what I mean?"

"Know who you are, and it will be good for you and everyone else."

Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Mingzhu with a calm voice and gentle tone.

Then, she looked at Cui Mingzhu's red and swollen fingers and said lightly: "This hand is useless, but it doesn't matter. There are excellent medicines in the mansion that can relieve the pain..."

After saying that, Shen Ningyuan turned around and went back to her room regardless of the embarrassment in Cui Mingzhu’s eyes.

She would not let Cui Mingzhu go, but now was not the time.

In the previous life, the Shen family’s huge foundation was uprooted in just three years.

Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu alone cannot do this.

There must be someone else behind them.

What she has to do next is to use these two people to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Cui Mingzhu looked at Shen Ningyuan's back, and the anger in her heart accumulated to the extreme at this moment.

She clenched her hands tightly, forcibly suppressing the urge in her heart to rush forward and tear Shen Ningyuan into pieces.

The round-faced maid was also shocked when she saw the vicious look on Cui Mingzhu's face.

At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the courtyard gate.

"What's going on? Why are Mingzhu and Yuan'er arguing?"

It was Cui Jin's voice, and her tone was obviously anxious.

The two maids walking in front took two quick steps to open the courtyard gate.

Song Yan'er and Cui Jin stepped over the threshold and walked into the yard.

Hearing the noise of her mother and sister-in-law coming in, Shen Ningyuan stopped and turned to walk outside.

After Song Yan'er entered the room, she did not forget to comfort Cui Jin.

"Mom, don't worry. Yuan'er and Mingzhu both know their limits and won't mess around—"

Come.

Before she could utter the remaining two words, Song Yan'er froze in shock.

Because when Cui Mingzhu turned towards them, she saw the bloody hand.

The glaring red startled Song Yan'er so much that she took two steps back and asked in disbelief, "Cousin, your hand...who hurt you?"

Cui Mingzhu's eyes were red and she was about to speak.

Behind him, Shen Ningyuan had already crossed the threshold and walked out of the house and onto the steps.

Facing the dumbfounded gazes of Cui Jin and Song Yan'er, Shen Ningyuan nodded calmly.

"I hurt him." Shen Ningyuan said softly.

Cui Jin looked at Shen Ningyuan, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Yuan'er, why did you hurt your cousin?" Cui Jin asked.

Just as Shen Ningyuan was about to speak, her sister-in-law spoke first, "Mother, Yuan'er definitely didn't mean it. The two sisters have such a good relationship. Yuan'er has treated Mingzhu as her own sister since she was a child. How could she deliberately hurt Mingzhu?"

Hearing this, Cui Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, Shen Ningyuan refuted Song Yaner's words.
