Chapter 054: The Second Brother Takes Action

Ji Zehai, who was frowning just now, suddenly changed his mind after hearing what Chen said.

Shen Ningyuan was very confused.

What did Chen say to Ji Zehai that could make him change his mind immediately?

However, she could probably guess from their reactions.

What Chen said to Ji Zehai should have something to do with himself.

"Now that we have discussed everything, let's set off quickly. I am still waiting to return to the palace to explain today's situation to the Empress!"

Eunuch Zhou urged him a few words.

Shen Ningyuan was unmoved, her eyes fell on the little bean lying on the floor, whose body had already stiffened.

Then, he turned his gaze to Shen Haobai and whispered, “Brother, after I return to the Ji family, you must bury her for me.”

"Sister, don't worry. When has my brother never done what you asked him to do?"

As he spoke, Shen Haobai leaned close to Shen Ningyuan’s ear and whispered, “Yuan’er, be careful about everything after returning to the Ji family.”

"No matter what you want to do, your eldest brother, your second brother, and your parents will always stand behind you."

Shen Ningyuan nodded and whispered, "Brother, take good care of my sister-in-law. I will be back when my nephew is born."

Half a year is enough time for her to destroy all the foundations of the Ji family and find out the culprit who harmed the Shen family in the previous life!

Just like that, a group of people followed him out of the general's mansion.

Looking at Shen Haoyue, who was sitting on a tall horse in a tight suit, Shen Ningyuan suddenly realized.

No wonder today, the second brother who always liked to wear loose robes suddenly changed into tight clothes. It turned out that he wanted to escort her and protect her.

The eldest brother is a military commander, and he escorted her with great fanfare, which gave people the suspicion that he was raising his own army.

But my second brother is just a scholar, and he knows a little bit about boxing.

There won't be any problem escorting her back to the Ji family.

After Shen Ningyuan and Shen Haoyue looked at each other, they turned around and got on the carriage back to the Ji family.

Seeing Shen Ningyuan sitting in the carriage obediently, Chen felt very proud.

So what if I have the support of the Shen family?

In the end, you still have to go back to the Ji family obediently!

Thinking of this, Chen also got on another carriage.

Cui Jin called out to Shen Haoyue worriedly, walked up to him and said, "There will be a lot of people around later, so you must remember to protect your sister and don't let her get hurt."

"Mom, I know." Shen Haoyue nodded, tightened the reins and turned the horse's head.

A group of carriages and horses headed towards the Ji family in a mighty procession.

The onlookers couldn't help but look up.

"What's going on? Wasn't the girl from the Shen family just brought back a few days ago? Why was she sent back again?"

"The funeral of Ji's Dalang hasn't been held yet. As a widow, she must go back to take care of the funeral!"

"A few days ago, there were rumors that Chen Ningyuan had long been unwilling to be lonely and had been cheating on a man. Now it seems that I don't know whether it is true or not."

"A fly won't bite an egg without cracks. If it's really fake, how come it's spread so true?"

"Yes, if the young lady of the Ji family really had good character, the rumors would not have come to her!"

“That’s right…”

The people talked a lot, and without knowing right or wrong, they threw all the dirty water on Shen Ningyuan.

Ji Yunchuan, dressed in black, wearing a thick felt hat, with some bruises on his face, stood in the crowd and looked at the carriage heading towards the Ji family, with a cold look on his face.

After planning all this, he finally forced Shen Ningyuan back to the Ji family.

At this time, Shen Ningyuan, who was sitting in the carriage, also curled the corners of his mouth coldly.

She could finally return to the Ji family with great fanfare.

Now, everyone in the capital is watching her and the Ji family.

In this way, she would no longer be restricted when doing things in the Ji family.

What awaits the Ji family will be a fierce hell!

The carriage had reached the busiest street district in the capital halfway through its journey.

Shen Ningyuan heard the noise outside, lifted the carriage curtain, looked up at Shen Haoyue, and called softly, "Second brother."

Shen Haoyue tightened the reins, lowered his head and looked at Shen Ningyuan, "Sister, what's wrong?"

"No need to go forward." Shen Ningyuan reminded.

Hearing this, Shen Haoyue immediately understood Shen Ningyuan’s thoughts.

With a single raise of his hand, the advancing team stopped immediately.

"What's going on? Why didn't you leave suddenly?" Eunuch Zhou opened the curtain and looked at Shen Haoyue in confusion.

Shen Haoyue said indifferently, “The Ji family promised my sister that they would clear her name in public. Isn’t it time to fulfill their promise?”

Eunuch Zhou's face changed, as if he had just remembered this matter.

"Our team is so long. If we stop here, it will only disrupt the lives of the people." Eunuch Zhou said in a slightly cold tone and waved his hand casually, "Alright, alright, hurry up and move forward. Don't waste time."

Shen Potian was not present, and Shen Haoyue was just a weak scholar, so he was not afraid at all.

But Shen Haoyue was unmoved and didn't even pay attention to Eunuch Zhou.

Eunuch Zhou's expression suddenly became very ugly. He lifted the curtain and glared at Shen Haoyue, snorting coldly and asked, "What? Doesn't my words work?"

At this time, Ji Zehai got off the carriage and came to the front of Eunuch Zhou's carriage, smiling flatteringly: "Eunuch Zhou is right. If we stay here rashly, it will affect the lives of the people. If there is anything, let's go back to the Ji family first!"

As he said that, Ji Zehai glanced at Shen Haoyue proudly.

The Shen family was so stupid that they actually sent a weak scholar to escort Shen Ningyuan.

Let alone Shen Potian, even if it was Shen Haobai who came to escort, they would be a little wary.

Shen Haoyue?

A thin scholar who can only write poetry.

He doesn't take it seriously at all!

Thinking of this, Ji Zehai didn't even look at Shen Haoyue.

He walked straight to the front of the team, waved to the leading guard, and said in a very contemptuous tone, "Alright, alright, hurry up and move forward. Don't stay here and waste everyone's time."

But the leading guard did not move at all, and did not even shift his gaze to look at Ji Zehai.

Seeing this, Ji Zehai's face instantly turned ugly.

She retreated to Eunuch Zhou's carriage and complained to him: "Eunuch Zhou, these are all people from the Shen family. They don't even listen to your orders and don't take you and the Queen seriously at all!"

"Master Ji promised in front of the Queen that he would clear my name in public and tell the truth to the people. If you break your promise, you will truly not take the Queen seriously."

As soon as Ji Zehai finished speaking, Shen Ningyuan's cold voice came over.

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhou's expression became even uglier than before.

He opened the curtain and angrily scolded, "Little bitch, why are you butting in before I say anything?"

While speaking, Eunuch Zhou raised his hand and pointed at Shen Ningyuan, his eyes were extremely fierce.

Almost at the same time, the sword on Shen Haoyue's waist was unsheathed and swung towards Eunuch Zhou's hand that was pointing at Shen Ningyuan.

Eunuch Zhou didn't notice Shen Haoyue's actions, and continued to point at Shen Ningyuan, shouting: "Believe it or not, I will go to the palace and tell the Queen about you now-"

"ah!!!"

Before Eunuch Zhou could finish his words, he covered his bloody arm and let out a terrible scream.

A bloody unknown object rolled to the ground. It was the right hand that had just pointed at Shen Ningyuan's nose...
