Chapter 061: Chen panicked

After hearing what Nanny Qin said, Shen Ningyuan was not very surprised.

From the beginning, she was prepared that Chen would stop her.

Seeing Nanny Qin's anxious face, Luying was very worried.

He immediately put down the work in his hands and walked towards Shen Ningyuan.

She suggested, "Young Madam, how about letting this servant go out and check the situation first?"

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan shook her head, “You can’t solve this matter, you just stay here and clean up that room for me, and I will go out alone.”

The green warbler had no choice but to give up and stay obediently in Xiyuanju.

Then, Shen Ningyuan looked at Nanny Qin and said, "Let's go to the front yard."

She wanted to see what Chen could do to stop her now.

-

Before he even reached the front yard, he heard Chen yelling, "Where's the young lady? Why hasn't she rolled over yet?"

"Young Madam, Chen is still waiting for you." Nanny Qin reminded softly.

Shen Ningyuan nodded, "It's okay, don't be afraid of her."

She proposed to beat Hai Lian to death in the front yard just to show it to Chen.

She found it strange that Chen wanted to do nothing.

Passing through the doorway, you arrive at the front yard.

At this time, Chen brought a lot of people and surrounded the front yard.

Seeing Shen Ningyuan appear with such a calm expression, Chen's anger grew even more intense.

Gnashing his teeth, he questioned, “Chen Ningyuan, I just brought you back to the Ji family, why are you showing off again?”

Seeing Shen Ningyuan coming, Hai Lian began to struggle again, shouting hoarsely: “Madam, you must make the decision for this slave, this slave did not steal the young lady’s things!”

Chen glanced at Hai Lian, ignored her, and directed her spearhead at Shen Ningyuan.

He continued to ask, "Yunchuan's funeral hasn't even ended yet, and you beat a servant to death in the front yard. If other celebrities knew about this, how would they look at our Ji family? Have you considered the consequences?"

As soon as Chen finished speaking, Shen Ningyuan directly refuted: “Why should I care about what the outside world thinks of the Ji family?”

"You are the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, how can you not care?" Chen's tone changed.

"Since mother-in-law treats me as a member of the Ji family, let me ask you, if my things were stolen from the Ji family, and I didn't deal with it at home, should I send it to the government for handling?"

"What was stolen from you?" Chen asked without thinking.

"Everything in my house, my jewelry, my valuable calligraphy and paintings, the vases and jades on the shelves, were all stolen."

As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan pointed at Hai Lian who was tied to a wooden bench, and said coldly: “I saw my gold bracelet as a dowry on the wrist of this maid, so I have every reason to suspect that she was the one who stole the things in my room while I was away!”

Chen's face darkened, and she subconsciously asked, "What gold bracelet?"

Shen Ningyuan didn't waste any words and took out the gold bracelet from his sleeve.

When Chen saw the bracelet, her expression changed immediately and she glared at Hai Lian viciously.

This short-sighted thing, how dare she wear that bracelet so blatantly on her wrist!

Hai Lian was glared at by Chen and was so scared that she dared not speak anymore.

Noticing the "interaction" between Chen and Hailian, Shen Ningyuan sneered and deliberately raised the bracelet to Chen, "Mother-in-law, don't you think this is strange? How could the dowry bracelet that was well placed in the private storehouse be worn on Hailian's wrist?"

Chen's face paused, and she deliberately avoided Shen Ningyuan's gaze, and said hesitantly: "It is indeed strange."

Then he pointed at Hai Lian fiercely, "It must be this bastard who took the things from your private vault!"

Of course she couldn't admit that she was the one who took things from Shen Ningyuan's private vault.

At this point, Hai Lian can only take the blame for her.

Who told her to be so short-sighted that she couldn't wait to put the bracelet on as soon as she got it?

She brought all this upon herself!

When Hai Lian heard Chen identify her, she became anxious instantly and looked at her in disbelief, "Madam, that bracelet was clearly given by you--"

Bang!

Before Hai Lian could finish her words, Chen rushed up to her and slapped her hard.

"You filthy slave who stole my master's things, and you still have the nerve to yell at me. It seems that my daughter-in-law has spoiled you too much!"

Chen raised her voice and ordered, "Someone, cover her mouth and don't let her make any more noise!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the nanny beside Chen picked up a stone from the flower bed, walked over and stuffed it into Hailian's mouth.

With her mouth blocked and her hands and feet tied by two maids, Hai Lian could only let out desperate screams of “Ah ...

Seeing this scene, Shen Ningyuan sneered in his heart.

Chen knew exactly who took those things!

Today's pretentious cover-up is really ridiculous.

After making sure that Hai Lian would not make any more noise, Chen heaved a sigh of relief and turned to look at Shen Ningyuan.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Ning Yuan, this girl has committed a heinous crime. She really should be beaten to death. But in two days, it will be the day of Yunchuan's funeral. Do you think we should delay it for two days and lock this girl in the woodshed first? You can deal with her after Yunchuan's funeral?"

Looking at Chen's hypocritical face, Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

Wait two more days?

Are we going to wait for them to kill Hai Lian secretly so that there is no evidence against her?

She is not a fool!

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan directly refused, “No, it must be dealt with today!”

Chen's face froze.

I didn't expect that Shen Ningyuan would be so stubborn now!

After thinking for a moment, Chen continued, "Ning Yuan, it's not that I don't allow you to deal with this girl. I'm doing this for your own good! You said that you just took a servant to the Ji family and beat him to death. If this gets out, it will affect your reputation. Don't you think that's right?"

reputation?

Fame again?

Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Every time, Chen used her reputation to threaten her.

In her previous life, she valued her reputation, but what was her final outcome?

She died without a burial place and her soul was imprisoned in the chastity arch for three whole years!

Shen Ningyuan's sudden smile made Chen feel inexplicably frightened.

So he asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at my mother-in-law's ridiculousness and naivety." Shen Ningyuan replied truthfully.

"Naive?" Chen was a little anxious, "Chen Ningyuan, I am considering your reputation, and you actually call me naive and ridiculous?"

"Isn't it ridiculous?" Shen Ningyuan raised her voice and retorted: "The reputation you mentioned is nothing compared to the valuables lost in my yard!"

"They are just some external possessions. How can they be as important as a woman's reputation?" Chen was still being stubborn.

Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan stopped arguing with her, raised her eyes and asked softly: "But what if it is a gift from the late emperor himself?"

"W-what? Something personally gifted by the late emperor?"

Chen couldn't speak clearly, "You said that there are things in your room that were personally given by the late emperor?"

Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and nodded.

Chen's face turned pale instantly.

If His Majesty knew about this, the Ji family would be doomed.

Seeing Chen's panic, Shen Ningyuan curled up a sneer at the corner of his lips and decided to add fuel to the fire.

So she said with embarrassment: "If mother-in-law feels that beating to death is inappropriate, I can send Hai Lian to the government and let the government handle it."

"no!"

Chen refused without thinking.
