Hearing these two voices, Shen Ningyuan's eyes instantly turned red.

Turning in the direction of the voice, she saw her parents coming towards her against the light under the gaze of countless people.

Chen didn't expect that the Shen family would arrive so quickly.

She stood stiffly beside the spirit pillar, frightened and at a loss as to what to do.

Shen Ningyuan hadn't expected to see her parents so soon, and she stood there in a daze.

Until the tall Shen Potian strode up to her and pulled her behind him.

Shen Ningyuan suddenly came back to her senses, and her nose became more and more sore.

Her parents really came.

Shen Potian stood in front of Shen Ningyuan, staring at Ji Zehai with a cold and intimidating look.

He yelled angrily: "Ji Zehai, if you have anything to say, come to me, don't bully the child!"

Seeing his ferocious look, Ji Zehai couldn't help feeling a little scared.

After all, Shen Potian was well-known, and no one knew how many lives he had taken with the spear in his hand.

But even if she was afraid, she had to be strong and calm, smiling ingratiatingly at Shen Potian.

At this time, Cui Jin glanced around, walked over and held Shen Ningyuan in his arms, and said distressedly: "Yuan'er, don't be afraid, your mother and father are here, no one will bully you anymore."

Looking at her father standing in front of her, and her mother standing in front of her, gently caring for her.

Shen Ningyuan's nose became even more sour.

Looking at my parents standing in front of me alive.

The scene of their previous life when they were turned into human pigs and taken to the chastity arch by Ji Yunchuan emerged in their minds.

Seeing Shen Ningyuan's eyes slightly red, Cui Jin felt even more distressed.

"Yuan'er, don't cry. Mother knows you've been wronged."

As he spoke, Cui Jin's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

His own daughter was forced to become a widow just after getting married.

Now that he had finally made it through, Ji Yunchuan left without a second thought.

As a mother, she didn't want her daughter to experience such pain more than anyone else.

Thinking of this, Cui Jin restrained her gentleness and swept her cold eyes towards Ji Zehai and Chen.

He said coldly, "On our way to the funeral, we heard that Yuan'er had committed suicide by taking poison. We all thought that our daughter was so upset that she committed suicide for her late husband. But no matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that it was Ji Yunhuan who wanted to poison my daughter, and you two from the Ji family actually wanted to force her to let the murderer go!"

After hearing Cui Jin's words, Ji Zehai quickly bowed and forced a smile, saying, "My dear relatives, this is all a misunderstanding. We have no intention of forcing Ning Yuan."

"Misunderstanding?" Cui Jin snorted coldly, "The poison of Hedinghong is right on the floor, and you're saying it's a misunderstanding!"

"Ms. Chen just threatened to commit suicide, saying that if she died, it would be my daughter's fault!"

"Ji Zehai, so many people saw everything that happened, and you're telling me now it's all a misunderstanding!"

Ji Zehai was speechless after being criticized by Cui Jin.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Cui Jin became even angrier.

"Ji Zehai, tell me, what is the grudge? My daughter is so young, and you want to attack her!"

Ji Zehai quickly waved his hands, "No, no, no, it's not like that. We never intended to harm our daughter-in-law. It really is all a misunderstanding!"

At this point, Ji Zehai really didn't know how to argue except to say it was a misunderstanding.

Cui Jin was not going to listen and continued to press, "Ji Zehai, since my daughter married into your Ji family, Ji Yunchuan has been away on a military expedition. My daughter has been a widow for a year. Do you recognize her?"

Ji Zehai gritted his teeth and said, "Admit it!"

Cui Jin continued, "Over the past year, my daughter has been respectful to her parents-in-law and compassionate to her husband's children. She has devoted herself to managing household affairs and taking care of the whole family. She even embezzled her own dowry to support the entire Ji family. Do you acknowledge her?"

Under Cui Jin's repeated questioning, Ji Zehai's face turned red and he had no idea how to respond.

Not to mention Chen, who was lying on the ground.

Because what Cui Jin said was true.

The others present widened their eyes in shock after hearing these words.

"What? From what Madam Shen said, has the young lady of the Ji family been using her dowry to support the Ji family for the past year since she got married?"

"This... is too shameless. No matter how poor you are, you can't embezzle your daughter-in-law's dowry. If this gets out, it will be so embarrassing!"

"I never thought that the Ji family would raise an ungrateful person like Ji Yunhuan. The Ji family's young mistress treated her so well, yet she actually poisoned her own sister-in-law!"

"Yeah yeah……"

After hearing these people's whispers, Chen and Ji Zehai were too embarrassed to look up.

In today's world, although women have a low status, they must be humble in their husband's family.

But the husband's family, who had a little dignity, did not dare to use the bride's dowry at will.

Now, Cui Jin has made it clear that their Ji family relies on Shen Ningyuan's dowry for support.

The Ji family has completely lost face!

"It's one thing to use my daughter's dowry, but you also want to poison her. What on earth are you, the Ji family, planning?"

Cui Jin still refused to give in. Today she must seek justice for Chen Ningyuan!

At this time, Ji Zehai had calmed down.

He forced a smile, bowed and stepped forward, saying, "My dear relatives, this matter is a long one. It's not a good idea to resolve it here with so many people watching. How about... we resolve it privately? I will definitely give my daughter-in-law justice!"

The more Ji Zehai thought about it, the angrier he became.

Shen Potian and Cui Jin are notoriously difficult to deal with in the capital.

One was a great general defending the country, and the other was from the Cui family of Qinghe.
