Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan curled the corners of his lips and turned to walk towards the small door in the backyard.

But after taking a few steps, Shen Ningyuan suddenly thought of something.

He stopped and turned to look at Cui Mingzhu who was lying on the ground, unconscious.

After a moment, Shen Ningyuan muttered softly, "If I don't step on it now, when will I?"

After saying that, Shen Ningyuan strode to Cui Mingzhu's side.

Lift your skirt.

Lift your legs.

Kick your feet.

The movements are done in one go.

Shen Ningyuan kicked in the air and stepped hard on Cui Mingzhu's face.

Not satisfied with just one kick, Shen Ningyuan raised her leg high up and brought it down hard again.

He stepped on Cui Mingzhu's face again.

This time, in order to vent his anger, Shen Ningyuan kicked Cui Mingzhu's face repeatedly several times.

Only after she had stepped on Cui Mingzhu's fair face until it was red and swollen, like a pig's head scalded by boiling water, did Shen Ningyuan withdraw her foot with satisfaction.

He snorted coldly, "You ungrateful wolf, I'll give you a good deal by stepping on you a few times."

"If you weren't still useful, I'd really like to stab you to death with a hairpin."

After saying that, Shen Ningyuan patted the non-existent dust on her skirt, turned around and entered the Marquis' Mansion through the small door.

Cui Mingzhu deserves to die, but she doesn't deserve to die so easily.

She will have to pay a price worse than death for betraying the Shen family and then go to hell!

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan restrained his emotions and walked quickly towards the Ji family ancestral hall.

At this time, it was almost midnight.

I walked all the way to the ancestral hall, but didn't meet many people.

The two servants that Ji Zehai had arranged to guard the night were knocked unconscious at the door.

It seems that Ji Yunchuan is already in the ancestral hall!

Thinking that she and Ji Yunchuan were only separated by a wall, Shen Ningyuan's eyes trembled with excitement.

If she didn't want to find out who was behind Ji Yunchuan, Shen Ningyuan really wanted to rush in and pierce his throat with a hairpin!

After taking a deep breath, Shen Ningyuan forced himself to calm down.

Holding his breath, he tiptoed to the back of the ancestral hall and rushed in through the narrow door.

Coming to the side room of the ancestral hall where incense was offered, Shen Ningyuan hid behind the incense table, carefully lifted the curtain, and saw the scene of the ancestral hall patio clearly.

At this time, the Marquis' Mansion had already put Ji Yunhuan's body into a coffin and placed it next to Ji Yunchuan's coffin.

The two coffins, one large and one small, looked particularly strange in the dark night.

Ji Yunchuan was lying on Ji Yunhuan's coffin, his whole body trembling.

"This coffin... Is Huan'er really dead?"

"No, that's not the case! He was fine just a few days ago. How could he just disappear like that?"

"I don't believe it. I don't believe Huan'er is really dead. Wuuuuuuuu...sister...my sister..."

Because he didn't dare to make too much noise, Ji Yunchuan could only suppress his tears and lay on the coffin, sobbing uncontrollably.

Listening to Ji Yunchuan's suppressed crying, Shen Ningyuan suddenly felt relieved.

Ji Yunchuan, when you faked your death and escaped, did you ever think that this fake funeral would really send your sister to her death?

And this is just the beginning.

You owe me, your Ji family owes me.

I will get it back bit by bit!

Halfway through crying, Ji Yunchuan suddenly thought of something and shook his head violently.

"No, I don't believe it. Huan'er really drowned. This must be fake!"

After saying that, Ji Yunchuan suddenly exerted force and opened the coffin lid.

Bang!

The coffin lid fell to the ground with a "bang", which made Shen Ningyuan's heart beat violently.

Could it be that Ji Yunchuan discovered something wrong and wanted to check Ji Yunhuan's body?

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan's grip on the curtain tightened, and sweat oozed out of her palms.

Under Shen Ningyuan's nervous gaze, Ji Yunchuan's pupils shrank after seeing Ji Yunhuan in the coffin, and he could no longer suppress his tears.

"No!"

"How is it possible...it's really Huan'er!"

"How could this happen? My sister...my sister!"

At this moment, Ji Yunchuan's mind was filled with recollections of the time he spent with Ji Yunhuan, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

"It's big brother's fault. Big brother couldn't protect you. It's all big brother's fault, woooo..."

Ji Yunchuan could no longer hold back and let himself cry out loud.

Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Ji Yunchuan just wanted to take a last look at Ji Yunhuan.

Then it's okay.

But as he cried, Ji Yunchuan's crying stopped abruptly, and he suddenly said, "That's not right!"

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's expression tightened, and she stared at Ji Yunchuan intently.

Ji Yunchuan stared at Ji Yunhuan's body and murmured, "Something's wrong... Huan'er has been able to swim since he was a child. How could he have drowned in the lake in the back garden?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Yunchuan whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry."

After saying that, Ji Yunchuan actually stretched out his hand and began to examine Ji Yunhuan's body.

Seeing him checking Ji Yunhuan's body, Shen Ningyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

She really wanted to see what Ji Yunchuan would do when he saw the red mark on the corpse's neck and discovered that Ji Yunhuan's cause of death was unusual.

Should he keep silent about it, or take the blame for deceiving the emperor by faking his own death and seek justice for Ji Yunhuan's death?

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan looked at Ji Yunchuan with burning eyes, her eyes full of anticipation.

As Shen Ningyuan expected, Ji Yunchuan indeed saw the red mark on Ji Yunhuan's neck.

"This is……"

Ji Yunchuan frowned slightly, lifted up Ji Yunhuan's clothes with his hands, and finally saw the full picture of the red mark.

His pupils shrank immediately, his eyes filled with disbelief, "This is the mark left by strangulation. Huan'er was murdered!"
