Chapter 008: Dad and Mom are Here

Hearing this, Ji Zehai's expression remained unchanged, and he pretended to be helpless and said, "I also know that today's incident was not very pleasant, but you also know that today is Yunchuan's funeral. He was always so good to you and always held you in his hands. You should never, ever, make such a fuss at his funeral, and you should not have lifted the tablets of your ancestors in front of his coffin!"

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Ji Zehai is worthy of being an official, he is so eloquent.

He was very good at grasping the key points, and in just a few words, he pushed all the faults onto her.

Just a few words easily turned the situation around.

At this time, many people in the crowd began to talk, and they all felt that Ji Zehai was right.

"Master Ji is right! Today is the funeral of the young master of the Ji family. As his wife, no matter how wronged she is, she should be patient. How could she force her mother-in-law to kill her sister-in-law and overturn her ancestral tablets at her husband's funeral?"

"Yeah, even if Ji Yunhuan really poisoned her, so what? She didn't die, right? We can just turn a blind eye to it. Why make such a big fuss?"

"Alas! Marrying a daughter-in-law who doesn't consider her husband's family is simply a misfortune for the family!"

“…”

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Ji Zehai stared at Shen Ningyuan coldly.

He wanted to see if Shen Ningyuan could still remain as calm as before in the face of countless people's accusations!

But he was going to be disappointed.

Shen Ningyuan did not react to these people's discussions, but just listened quietly.

Obviously, these words that went with the flow could not stir up the slightest ripple in her heart.

Seeing her so calm, Ji Zehai felt something was wrong for a moment.

Most people present were blaming Shen Ningyuan for her mistakes.

Any word spread out could affect Shen Ningyuan's reputation.

But how could she be so calm, as if she didn't care at all!

After a while, just when Ji Zehai was getting more and more annoyed and was about to continue attacking Shen Ningyuan.

Shen Ningyuan suddenly laughed.

"Master Ji!"

"You also know that Ji Yunchuan cares about me very much. If the dead are conscious, and he knows that his sister poisoned his wife, I'm afraid his coffin will not be able to hold him down!"

"Even if it's for Yunchuan, I want justice for myself!"

Shen Ningyuan said the last sentence with great force.

It doesn’t matter whether Ji Yunchuan loves her or not.

The important thing is that everyone knows that Ji Yunchuan pretended to love his wife dearly in order to get her.

She wanted to see how Ji Zehai would fight back if she pushed Ji Yunchuan out.

Sure enough, after hearing what Shen Ningyuan said, Ji Zehai's face looked very ugly.

He stared at Shen Ningyuan viciously, wishing he could cut off a piece of her flesh!

After a long while, Ji Zehai took a deep breath.

"I know Yunchuan cares about you a lot!"

Ji Zehai pressed again: “But I already have a son who died, it’s impossible for me to lose another daughter, Shen Ningyuan, you are the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, you know what to do!”

"Even if you fail to commit murder, you still have to pay the price. I still say that Ji Yunhuan must be sent to the authorities!"

Shen Ningyuan refused to give in, "I just want justice!"

"If the Ji family won't give it to me, I'll go ask the government for it!"

Shen Ningyuan emphasized the last sentence.

Seeing her uncompromising attitude, Ji Zehai frowned.

He didn't expect that Shen Ningyuan's attitude was so tough now.

But today's matter concerns the reputation of the Ji family, and he cannot give in at all.

Thinking of this, Ji Zehai clenched his fists, almost being irritated by Shen Ningyuan and losing his mind.

In his entire life, this was the first time that a woman made his heart beat faster.

Thinking of this, Ji Zehai gritted his teeth and pressed again: "Chen Ningyuan, do you really want to disregard the reputation of the Ji family for such a small matter?"

"Ji Yunhuan poisoned and murdered his eldest sister-in-law, which truly disregarded the reputation of the Ji family!" Shen Ningyuan counterattacked.

“You, you, you…” Ji Zehai pointed at Shen Ningyuan and said viciously: “You are going to force the Ji family into a dead end!”

Shen Ningyuan raised her head and looked at Ji Zehai coldly.

"I will never back down on this matter. Ji Yunhuan must be sent to the authorities!"

"Chen Ningyuan, if you dare to send Huan'er to the government, I will hit my head against this spirit pillar and die!"

At this time, Chen suddenly jumped out, pointed at Chen Ningyuan and shouted: "Anyway, I almost strangled Huan'er to death just now, I feel sorry for her, I will never send Huan'er to the government!"

Chen gritted her teeth and her red and swollen eyes were as big as copper bells.

He looked as if he was willing to die for the Ji family's reputation.

No one expected that things would come to this point.

But looking at Chen's resolute look, I still feel sincere admiration for her.

"Alas, Madam Ji is risking everything for the Ji family's reputation!"

"Yeah, if I were Chen Ningyuan, I would just turn a blind eye and make a big deal out of a small matter, and forget about it."

"Anyway, she didn't die. Not only is she alive and well, she also slapped Ji Yunhuan dozens of times. It's time for her to vent her anger."

"Yeah, that's too cruel..."

Everyone's discussions were heard by Shen Ningyuan without any hesitation.

She looked at the faint smile of success on Chen's lips and immediately guessed what the other party was planning.

He was trying to take advantage of his seniority and status as an elder to force her to compromise!

If Chen really died by hitting her head against the pillar, her reputation would probably be ruined.

The Shen family will also be greatly affected.

She may not care about her own reputation, but she cannot ignore the reputation of the Shen family.

I think Chen also thought so, so he dared to threaten death in public.

Because she knew that Shen Ningyuan would compromise everything for the Shen family's reputation.

But she seemed to be disappointed.

Shen Ningyuan walked slowly towards Chen, and when she got to her, she was just in time to meet her triumphant smile.

Shen Ningyuan stopped and pointed at the spirit pillar beside him, her tone as cold as frost.

"If you want to die, you can die now. I will never stop you."

Chen's pupils trembled!

“Chen, Chen Ningyuan, are you really not afraid at all? If I really crash into death here, your reputation and that of the Shen family will fall from the altar and plummet!”

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan squatted down and looked at Chen at eye level.

He said calmly, "You care about reputation, but I don't."

"Ji Yunhuan, you must be sent to the authorities!"

"I want this justice!"

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.

Chen values his reputation, but he values his life even more.

She was betting that Chen would not dare to die!

Seeing Shen Ningyuan like this, Chen felt a sense of fear for no reason.

"Chen Ningyuan, don't force me. Believe it or not, I will really crash into death here. I, I...I will crash into death right now!"

Shen Ningyuan lowered her eyes and looked at Chen, who had already failed, with a calm tone.

"Okay, you hit me, and I'll watch you hit me."

Chen didn't expect that even though she had reached this point, Shen Ningyuan would still be so calm.

The calmer Shen Ningyuan was, the more she collapsed.

What made her even more devastated was that her husband, her God, was standing by and watching quietly.

There was no intention of coming up to stop it.

It seems that it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies.

At this moment, Chen's defense was completely broken.

Pointing at Shen Ningyuan, he yelled, “Okay, you forced me to do this, I’m going to die now!”

As he spoke, Chen stood up and prepared to crash into the spirit pillar.

"You old thing, you are taking advantage of my little girl because she is young and ignorant! If you want to die, go ahead and die. Don't put the blame on my daughter!"

"If I had known that your boy would die young, I would never have agreed to let Yuan'er marry me! What? Your son died early, so you want to take my daughter away as well?"

Just when Chen was about to hit the pillar, two voices, one hard and one soft, suddenly came from outside the crowd.
