In her previous life, Shen Ningyuan was deeply devoted to her husband. Not only did she willingly live as a widow for him, but she also used her dowry to support his family.
However, in retur...
Chapter 011: Mother-in-law kneels down in public!
Shen Ningyuan took a step back in shock.
Cui Jin's expression changed immediately, and she scolded coldly, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Yuan'er is your junior, and you, as her elder, kneel down to her in public. You are going to shorten her life!"
As Cui Jin said this, she was about to step forward and help Chen up.
But Chen pushed her hand away, knelt down and crawled in front of Shen Ningyuan, tightly grasping Shen Ningyuan's clothes.
She cried out loudly, "Yuan'er, my good daughter-in-law, I kneel down to you, please give Huan'er a chance to live!"
Chen's sudden kneeling was something Shen Ningyuan had not expected.
Not only did she not expect it, but Ji Zehai, her husband who had slept in the same bed with her for decades, was also shocked by her behavior.
"Ms. Chen, what are you going to do?" Ji Zehai scolded in a low voice: "Today is Yunchuan's funeral, don't embarrass yourself!"
Chen Shi refused to listen and continued to kneel in front of Shen Ningyuan, shouting, "Ningyuan, I don't ask for anything else. I only ask you to give Huan'er a few more days for Yunchuan's sake!"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan frowned slightly.
Based on her understanding of Chen, Chen would not easily kneel down to her in such an occasion.
Unless she thought of a more sinister way to plot against me.
Before anyone could ask, Chen had already stated her request, "Ning Yuan, I know Huan'er has let you down, but can we discuss sending Huan'er away after Yunchuan's seventh day of mourning?"
"You also know that they have a very good relationship as siblings. At least let Huan'er send Yunchuan off!"
After Chen finished speaking, she burst into tears.
Shen Ningyuan's brows furrowed even tighter.
Wait until the seventh day after Ji Yunchuan's death, and then send Ji Yunhuan off.
This request is not excessive.
If she didn't agree, she would appear to be stingy.
But if you agree, who knows what tricks they will play behind your back.
"Okay, we agree to your request."
Before Shen Ningyuan could think it over, her mother had already agreed to this request for her.
Shen Ningyuan was startled and looked at Cui Jin in surprise, "Mother, you..."
Cui Jin patted her hand soothingly and whispered, "Yuan'er, don't worry, mother has a plan herself."
After saying that, Cui Jin looked at Chen and said, "Mother-in-law, we agree to your request. You get up first!"
"So many people are watching here, how do you want them to view Yuan'er?" Cui Jin added.
This concerns Shen Ningyuan's reputation, so she has to take it seriously.
If today's events were spread by someone with ulterior motives, I'm afraid they would all say that Shen Ningyuan was a wicked woman bullying her mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, Cui Jin walked forward and helped Chen up.
Chen was still crying, "If Yunchuan hadn't passed away so suddenly, things wouldn't have gotten to this point. It's our Ji family that is sorry for Ning Yuan, for letting her lose her husband at such a young age..."
Cui Jin frowned slightly and turned to look at Shen Ningyuan.
Seeing that she didn't react, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked at Chen and warned coldly: "This is all Yuan'er's fate. She has accepted it. Don't mention it in the future."
Only then did Chen shut her mouth and did not speak again.
At this time, Ji Zehai looked at Chen Ningyuan and said in a deep voice: "Daughter-in-law, it's settled then. After Yunchuan's first seven days, we will immediately send Huan'er to the temple and will never let her affect your life again."
Cui Jin immediately responded, "Of course Ji Yunhuan can stay at the Ji family. Let alone stay until the seventh day, even if he stays until the seventh day, we have no objection."
Upon hearing this, Chen's eyes lit up instantly.
I couldn't wait to ask, "Really? Can Huan'er stay longer until Qiqi?"
Cui Jin rolled her eyes at her. "Of course, we have no objection to sending Ji Yunhuan away whenever you want, but we have to bring Yuan'er back to the Shen family today."
"What?" Chen's eyes widened, "You want to take Ning Yuan back to the Shen family?"
"Why? Is it not possible?" Cui Jin looked at Chen calmly, "My daughter was almost poisoned to death by Ji Yunhuan. Do you think we will be at ease to let her live with Ji Yunhuan and live in the Ji family again?"
Cui Jin snorted coldly and said forcefully, "What's more, Yuan'er has been frightened today. No matter what, we must take Yuan'er away today!"
“That’s right!” Shen Potian immediately responded, “My daughter cannot be bullied by your Ji family!”
Seeing their tough attitude, Chen didn't dare to say anything and just turned his gaze to Ji Zehai.
Ji Zehai gritted his teeth secretly, looking back and forth between Shen Potian and Cui Jin.
Just as he opened his mouth to persuade the two to change their minds, a servant from the Ji mansion hurried over.
He leaned close to Ji Zehai's ear and said something quickly.
After hearing this, Ji Zehai's face changed instantly.
"Are you serious?" Ji Zehai grabbed the boy's collar and asked in disbelief.
The servant had a bitter face and nodded repeatedly, "Master, how dare I say such things? The eldest son of the Shen family is really with his troops, wandering outside the Ji Mansion, not too close, probably only a hundred meters away..."
Ji Zehai took a deep breath and looked at Shen Potian and Cui Jin, feeling angry but not daring to speak.
Finally, he could only grit his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Okay, let my daughter-in-law go back to her parents' home to rest for two days!"
He didn't say anything too decisive, just said to go back and rest for two days.
I’ll find a chance later and bring Shen Ningyuan back.
"Master, why did you agree so easily?"
Chen's face changed and she looked at Ji Zehai in disbelief.
Seeing that Ji Zehai didn't say anything, Chen hurried over and grabbed Ji Zehai's sleeve.
He whispered, "Master, if you let the Shen family take Shen Ningyuan away, where will our Ji family's face be?"
Ji Zehai glared at Chen fiercely, "Do you think I didn't think of this? They came prepared. Hundreds of soldiers have surrounded the Ji family!"
"What?" Chen's face changed drastically in shock.
He looked at the calm Shen Ningyuan and the other two with disbelief.
No wonder he was so unscrupulous, it turned out he had already prepared a way out.
Thinking of this, Chen had to force a smile and said to Shen Ningyuan amiably: “Okay, since Yuan’er wants to go back to her parents’ home to rest for two days, then go ahead and come back after you get well!”
Like Ji Zehai, Chen did not say anything absolute.
Then she asked again, "Is there anything you need me to help you pack?"
"No need." Cui Jin refused directly, "We have kept all of Yuan'er's things at the Shen family. We don't need anything."
Chen had no choice but to shut up in disappointment.
At this time, Cui Jin patted the back of Shen Ningyuan's hand and said gently: "Yuan'er, let's go home with our parents."
Having said that, regardless of Ji Zehai and Chen's reactions, or how the onlookers pointed, Cui Jin took Shen Ningyuan's hand and took her away without a care.
Shen Potian glared at Ji Zehai and Chen coldly, and warned in a deep voice: “On the seventh day of Yunchuan’s death, we will send Yuan’er back.”
"I hope that after Yunchuan's funeral, Yuan'er won't see anyone who shouldn't be there at the Ji family!"
After finishing speaking, Shen Potian didn’t care how ugly Ji Zehai’s face was, and turned around and strode out of the Ji Family Ancestral Hall.
Everyone was left standing there in a daze, watching the backs of the three of them walking away.
Shen Ningyuan originally thought that she would have a tough battle to fight at the Ji family today.
But unexpectedly, my parents showed up.
She did it so openly...
Was picked up.
Could it be that because she was reborn, the development of events became different from her previous life?
This doubt remained until Shen Ningyuan walked out of the Ji family.
It was only after seeing the big brother riding a tall horse and wearing armor that I suddenly realized.
