Chapter 053: Who dares to point at my daughter again?

Being pointed at the nose by Shen Potian with a sword, Eunuch Zhou and Ji Zehai were so scared that their eyes widened and they dared not say a word.

“Just because I don’t say anything doesn’t mean I’m dumb!” Shen Potian emphasized in a deep voice: “My daughter has the final say on whether she wants to return to the Ji family or not. You can’t point fingers here and make noises!”

"If you dare to point your finger at my daughter again, I will use this sword to chop off your filthy hands!"

Shen Potian raised his brows coldly and glared at the two men fiercely, forcing them to not even dare to breathe too loudly.

Because they knew that they really pissed off Shen Potian.

Not to mention their hands, they might even lose their heads.

Ji Zehai bowed his hands in apology, with a flattering smile on his face, "Father-in-law, Eunuch Zhou and I have no intention of offending our daughter-in-law, so calm down first!"

"We are here today with sincerity to take our daughter-in-law back home. Please don't let this little thing ruin the harmony between the two families."

Cui Jin snorted coldly and retorted unceremoniously, "How can our two families still be at peace? Ever since Ji Yunchuan died, you have repeatedly forced and plotted against my daughter. We know exactly what you are up to!"

As he said that, Cui Jin looked at Chen Ningyuan, “If Yuan’er hadn’t been willing to go back, it wouldn’t be your turn to point fingers at my daughter!”

"Yes, yes, what my mother-in-law said is right!" Ji Zehai nodded with a smile.

His attitude was so fawning and ingratiating that his face was almost pressed to the ground.

No matter what, let’s coax Shen Ningyuan back to the Ji family first.

Cui Jin didn't look kind to Ji Zehai. She glanced at Chen lying on the ground and said in a cold voice, "Master Ji, you should wake up Madam Ji first. It's not decent for a living person to lie here straight."

Ji Zehai's face changed slightly, he turned around and ordered his men to call Chen.

Before anyone could come forward, Shen Ningyuan picked up the tea on the table and poured it directly into Chen's face.

This sudden action startled Ji Zehai so much that his face changed drastically. "What are you doing?"

Shen Ningyuan smiled widely, "I'm helping to wake up my mother-in-law."

"Who taught you to wake people up like this?" Ji Zehai was a little incoherent.

Shen Ningyuan still said calmly, "My mother-in-law taught me."

Under Ji Zehai's surprised gaze, Shen Ningyuan slowly said: "When my daughter-in-law first married into the Ji family, my mother-in-law would punish me by making me kneel in the ancestral hall for a small mistake. Sometimes it was cold and I knelt for too long, and I fainted due to exhaustion. This is how my mother-in-law used tea to wake me up. She said this was the most effective way."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen, who was splashed with tea, woke up slowly.

Chen Ningyuan nodded with her chin, "Look, isn't he awake? Mother-in-law was right. Pouring tea is the most effective way to wake up an unconscious person."

"you--"

Ji Zehai stretched out his hand to point at Shen Ningyuan.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, after seeing Shen Potian’s cold expression, he immediately retracted his hand and forced himself to endure the depression in his heart.

"Where am I?" After waking up, Chen looked around blankly.

She raised her hand to touch her face and felt tea leaves all over it.

Chen reacted instantly, "Who threw tea on my face?"

"It's me." Shen Ningyuan was very honest.

"It's you?" Chen stood up and pointed at Chen Ningyuan angrily, "You little bitch, why did you splash tea on my face? I'm your mother-in-law!"

Before Shen Ningyuan could respond, Ji Zehai slapped Chen's hand away and warned in a deep voice, "Take your hand back!"

"Master, I am her mother-in-law, what's wrong with me pointing at her?"

Chen didn't understand and looked at Ji Zehai in confusion.

Ji Zehai did not respond, his peripheral vision was fixed on Shen Potian’s hand.

Seeing that he didn’t speak, Chen continued to raise her hand and pointed at Shen Ningyuan, “I’m her mother-in-law, so I can’t point at her anymore?”

After saying that, he continued to point at Shen Ningyuan, “I remember now, you almost killed me just now!”

Shen Ningyuan had a sneer on her face, “Mother-in-law has a really good memory, I almost killed you just now.”

If she wasn't afraid of dirtying the Shen family's land, she really wanted to kill Chen with a single blow.

"You are so unfilial!" Chen's face turned red with anger, "You even splashed tea on my face!"

"Mother-in-law was unconscious, so I poured tea on you to wake you up. Isn't that what you taught your daughter-in-law?" Shen Ningyuan asked back in a cold voice.

"you--"

Chen continued to point at Shen Ningyuan.

At this time, Shen Potian clenched the sword in his hand and stared at Chen with fierce eyes.

When Ji Zehai saw this scene, he was so scared that he pulled Chen's hand back.

But Chen seemed determined to fight Ji Zehai to the end.

Just as Ji Zehai pressed her hand down, Chen raised her hand again and continued to point at Shen Ningyuan.

Seeing that Shen Potian was about to take action, Ji Zehai couldn’t bear it anymore and slapped Chen in the face.

He shouted angrily: "Enough!"

This slap directly stunned Chen.

"Master?" Chen called out in a daze.

Ji Zehai did not respond, but signaled her with his eyes to look at Shen Potian.

Chen looked over and saw Shen Potian holding a sword, staring at her with a fierce look.

Chen reacted immediately and quickly put her hands behind her back.

I was afraid that if I was a second late, Shen Potian would chop off my palm.

“Since mother-in-law is awake, let’s go back now.” Shen Ningyuan said lightly.

She couldn't wait to go back and turn the Ji family upside down.

"Okay, okay, we'll go back now!"

Ji Zehai didn't expect that Shen Ningyuan would propose to return to the Ji family so soon.

But he didn't have time to think too much, he just wanted to follow Shen Ningyuan's wishes and bring Shen Ningyuan back to the Ji family as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Ji Zehai took Chen and turned around and walked outside.

But after taking two steps, when he turned around, he saw Shen Ningyuan standing there, not moving a step.

Ji Zehai was stunned and asked in confusion: "Didn't you say you were going back to the Ji family? Why aren't you leaving again?"

"Have you forgotten something?" Shen Ningyuan asked back.

Then, Shen Ningyuan said to herself: "You should still remember what conditions you agreed to in the Queen's bedroom yesterday?"

Hearing this, Ji Zehai was stunned and his facial muscles stiffened for a moment.

Of course he remembers.

The Ji family wanted to clear Shen Ningyuan's name in front of all the people in the capital.

But doing so would be equivalent to announcing the fact that Shen Ningyuan was still innocent in front of the entire capital!

Because the law stipulates that if a bride has been married to her husband's family for more than one year and is still a virgin, she can remarry at the discretion of the court.

If the Ji family tells the whole capital, Shen Ningyuan is still innocent.

Isn't it just hinting to the world: My daughter-in-law is still a virgin, you can come and ask for her hand in marriage, and you can also take away all her dowry!

Thinking of this, Ji Zehai was immediately in trouble.

Should he follow Shen Ningyuan's wishes and coax her back to the Ji family?

Or should he forcibly keep the truth secret and continue to let Shen Ningyuan stay in the Shen family?

The results of both choices were what he didn't want.

Just when Ji Zehai was in trouble, Chen leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

When Ji Zehai heard this, his eyes lit up instantly.

Turning to look at Shen Ningyuan, he suddenly changed his mind, "Okay, I promise you, I will clear your name in front of the whole capital later!"
