Hai Lian's pupils changed instantly, and she looked at Shen Ningyuan in disbelief, "What?"

What do you mean by asking her to pay attention in her next life?

For a moment, Hailian didn't understand the meaning of these words.

Chen Ningyuan looked at the panicked Hailian without any expression on her face. She only coldly ordered: "Hailian took advantage of the master's absence to occupy the master's bedroom and steal the master's property. You should be beaten to death!"

"Someone, bring the staff!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two maids walked in from outside the yard and twisted Hailian's hands behind her back.

No matter how hard Hailian struggled, she couldn't break free from the hands of the two maids.

"Young Madam, where will the execution take place?" one of the maids asked respectfully.

These two maids were the Shen family’s dowry and only listened to Shen Ningyuan’s words.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ningyuan said without hesitation, "Carrying out the execution here will dirty my yard. It's better to carry out the caning in the front yard and let the other servants of the Ji family see clearly what happens when they steal the master's property, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

Today, she is going to beat Hai Lian to death to disgust the Ji family!

"yes!"

The two maids responded without any hesitation and dragged Hailian out.

At this moment, Hai Lian realized that Shen Ningyuan really wanted to beat her to death.

She immediately struggled and yelled, "Madam, I didn't steal anything. When I entered the room, those things had already been taken away!"

"I just slept in the young lady's bed. I don't deserve death!"

"Wait a minute." Shen Ningyuan suddenly stopped.

The two maids stopped immediately but did not let go of Hailian's hand.

Seeing this, Hai Lian thought that Shen Ningyuan didn't care about her, and immediately smiled flatteringly, "I knew that the young lady was kind-hearted and would not really beat me to death."

Shen Ningyuan also smiled, walked two steps slowly to Hailian, squatted down in front of her, and whispered: "Of course I know that those things in the room were not taken by you."

Hai Lian also nodded quickly, "Young Madam is very observant. Those things were definitely not taken by this servant!"

"But so what? When you betrayed me, when you watched me take effect from the poison, did you ever imagine this day would come?"

Hai Lian's pupils shrank, and she looked at Shen Ningyuan in panic, "Madam, that day in the ancestral hall... did you see this servant?"

"Yes, I saw it." Shen Ningyuan said in a light tone, "I saw you hiding behind the pillar, watching me struggle with the poison, and I saw you leave the ancestral hall with my own eyes."

As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan took off the gold bracelet that Hailian was wearing on her wrist, "This gold bracelet was given to you by Chen, right?"

Hai Lian's face was panicked, and she quickly denied it: "Young Madam, no, I paid for this gold bracelet myself!"

"Your monthly allowance is one tael of silver. Even if you don't eat or drink for ten years, you can't afford such a pure gold bracelet." Shen Ningyuan retorted calmly.

Hai Lian was speechless and could only stare blankly at Shen Ningyuan.

Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan continued to speak to herself, "If I'm guessing correctly, when Chen gave you this gold bracelet, she should have instructed you to announce to the public after my death that I had been restless and unable to sleep since I learned of Ji Yunchuan's tragic news, and had long been considering suicide, right?"

Hai Lian became even more panicked, and looked at Shen Ningyuan with horror, "Young Madam, how did you know about this?"

"How should I know that?"

Shen Ningyuan sneered.

Because she saw it with her own eyes in her previous life.

Looking at Shen Ningyuan's expression, Hai Lian knew that she really had the intention to kill.

She immediately cried and begged for mercy, "Young Madam, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so obsessed with it. I shouldn't have accepted your bracelet. I shouldn't have betrayed you!"

"It's too late." Shen Ningyuan said in a light tone, stood up and ordered: "Drag him away."

"Yes, Madam!"

After saying that, the two maids continued to drag Hailian out of the gate of Xiyuanju.

Listening to Hailian's wailing, Shen Ningyuan's face was calm.

Then he stuffed the gold bracelet into Luying's hand and said lightly, "This is for you."

Lu Ying was startled. "Young Madam, isn't this the gold bracelet that Chen gave to me? Why did you give it to me?"

Shen Ningyuan sneered again, "This gold bracelet originally belonged to me. Chen used something from my private vault to reward Hai Lian and make her betray me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ying's expression changed immediately. "What? This originally belonged to the young lady?"

Lu Ying grew increasingly angry as she spoke. "This Ji family is so shameless! How could they steal their daughter-in-law's dowry? In my entire life, I've never heard of any aristocratic family stealing their daughter-in-law's dowry. Shameless people!"

Compared to Lu Ying's anger, Shen Ningyuan's expression was calm. "Oh, their shamelessness is more than that. You will know it later."

But Lu Ying was still very angry. She threw the gold bracelet in her hand heavily to the ground and cursed loudly: "What a filthy thing! I don't want it. The bracelet that the judge wore is so dirty that I would think it's dirty even if I touch it!"

Seeing Lu Ying's snorting expression, Chen Ningyuan couldn't help but chuckle. He glanced at the gold bracelet on the ground and said truthfully, "This pure gold bracelet weighs about two taels of gold. With the craftsman's exquisite carving skills, its value has increased several times. It's enough to buy a private house with two entrances and two exits in the most prosperous area of ​​​​the capital."

Hearing the value of the bracelet, Lu Ying almost cried, "Young Madam, why didn't you tell me in advance that this bracelet is so valuable..."

Green Warbler wailed and ran over to pick up the bracelet she had just thrown on the ground.
