Shen Ningyuan took the telescope and walked towards the bookshelf beside her.

After putting the telescope back to its original position, he turned and walked out of the private room.

Lan Yin hurriedly followed and asked in confusion, "Miss, are we leaving now? Why don't we stay for a while longer?"

Without even turning around, Shen Ningyuan walked down the stairs and said softly, "There's nothing to see, and I can't hear what they are saying."

"Why don't we go over now and listen to what this couple is arguing about?" Lan Yin suggested again.

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan stopped and turned to look at Lan Yin.

Seeing the gossip fire burning in her eyes, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but twitched her eyes, then looked away and turned back.

He said calmly, "If we go over now, we'll inevitably alert the enemy. Besides, by the time we get there, they'll have finished arguing, and we won't be able to hear any useful information."

Lan Yin couldn't help but feel disappointed, "That's true."

As Shen Ningyuan went downstairs, she comforted Lan Yin and said, "But it doesn't matter. If we go back to the Marquis' Mansion at this time, there will be good shows to watch."

Lan Yin's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Yeah." Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Yin instantly became energetic.

Pushing Shen Ningyuan down the stairs from behind, he urged as he pushed: "Then let's go back quickly, otherwise it will be too late and we won't be able to see anything!"

Being pushed by Lan Yin, Shen Ningyuan felt helpless, but could only speed up the pace of going down the stairs.

…

At this time, Ji Yunchuan was hiding in the house.

Cui Mingzhu was pressed against the wall, and a big hand with distinct joints was pinching her neck hard.

Looking at Ji Yunchuan's ferocious face so close to her, Cui Mingzhu's heart beat faster with fear.

The originally bright and pretty little face turned pale because of panic.

Seeing that Ji Yunchuan really wanted to kill him, Cui Mingzhu suddenly grabbed his hand and bit it on the tiger's mouth.

"ah!"

Ji Yunchuan was bitten and couldn't help but let out a scream.

He pulled his bitten hand out with force and slapped Cui Mingzhu in the face.

Bang!

The crisp sound of the slap was particularly abrupt in the silent and deserted night.

Ji Yunchuan held his right hand that was bitten and bleeding, staring at Cui Mingzhu fiercely, "Bitch, you dare to bite me!"

Cui Mingzhu covered her slapped face, her eyes red as she looked at Ji Yunchuan unwillingly, and asked in a broken voice, "Ji, Ji Yunchuan, are you really going to force me to abort the child and continue to stay in the General's Mansion?"

Ji Yunchuan remained silent, and Cui Mingzhu continued to accuse him, "But you promised me a few days ago that you would find a chance to take me back to the Marquis' Mansion and let your mother take care of me."

"If I had a choice, would I force you to abort the child?" Facing Cui Mingzhu's accusation, Ji Yunchuan couldn't help but yell: "How could I have known that Shen Ningyuan would be so lucky? It's like she gave a gift to the King of Hell. No matter how hard we try, she can't be killed!"

Ji Yunchuan's eyes were bloodshot, and for the first time since he faked his death, he lost control and swore, his saliva spraying all over Cui Mingzhu's face.

Seeing that Ji Yunchuan was really angry, Cui Mingzhu swallowed nervously.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ji Yunchuan continued to yell and accuse: "Also, do you know what people outside have been saying about me since Chen Ningyuan was brought back to the Marquis' Mansion? They all said that I was inhumane and that was why I left Chen Ningyuan alone in the empty room on our wedding night!"

"And all this is because of you!"

Ji Yunchuan pointed at Cui Mingzhu's nose and said, "You are so petty. You were jealous that I married Chen Ningyuan. You cried and made a fuss, forcing me to remain a virgin for you and not let me touch Chen Ningyuan. This is why she has remained a virgin until now. You gave her the opportunity to refute the rumors and restore her innocence. Not only did you make me and the Marquis' Mansion a laughing stock in the capital!"

"Cui Mingzhu, this is all your fault!" Ji Yunchuan's voice grew louder and louder. "I've paid so much to satisfy your demands, and have I ever complained? Now I ask you to abort the child, stay in the general's mansion and keep an eye on the Shen family's every move, and by the way, help me find the account book that your aunt has hidden. Am I really wronging you so much?"

As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan seemed to have lost control and shook Cui Mingzhu's shoulders vigorously.

He roared hoarsely, "Have you been wronged? Tell me, how have you been wronged? Ah?"

This series of accusations completely stunned Cui Mingzhu.

Realizing that Ji Yunchuan was really angry, Cui Mingzhu reached out her hand tremblingly and pulled Ji Yunchuan's sleeve.

Then, she softened her tone and pleaded, "Yun, Yunchuan, please don't be angry for now. Let's think of a solution, okay? Things will turn around. We don't have to sacrifice our child!"

Ji Yunchuan's expression froze, and then he slowly calmed down.

Then his eyes slid down to Cui Mingzhu's slightly bulging belly.

After a while, Ji Yunchuan said helplessly: "As long as Chen Ningyuan is alive, I can't take you to the Marquis' Mansion. When your belly gets bigger and bigger and it becomes too big to hide, our affair... will be exposed."

Cui Mingzhu paused, grabbed Ji Yunchuan's hand and begged, "No, no, Yunchuan, believe me, even if my belly gets bigger and bigger, even if the Shen family finds out that I'm pregnant, as long as you don't reveal that you're the father, nothing will happen. Auntie loves me so much, the Shen family won't do anything to me!"

Facing Cui Mingzhu's confidence, Ji Yunchuan's face was cold. He pried open her hands one by one, saying as he did so: "I'm sorry, Zhu'er, this is a serious matter. I can't gamble."

Because the plan failed, what he had to face was that man's immense wrath!

Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan's expression became even colder.

With thin lips, he pronounced Cui Mingzhu's fate word by word: "The child must be aborted!"
