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 105: Tongue Cutting in the Ancestral Hall
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but smile, and instead of answering, she asked, "Why wouldn't I kill you to silence you?"
"You know so much about me. If I still keep you alive, wouldn't that be planting the seeds of disaster for myself?"
After the words fell, a trace of cruel murderous intent flashed in Shen Ningyuan's eyes.
Seeing the cold murderous intent on her face, Cui Mingzhu's fear reached its peak at this moment.
She widened her eyes, shook her head desperately in disbelief, and then screamed angrily: "No, Chen Ningyuan, you dare not! This is the Marquis' Mansion, and today is the day of the Marquis's funeral. There are many guests outside. If you kill me here, you will definitely be discovered!"
"By that time, the Shen family won't be able to save you!"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan restrained her smile and asked back in a cold tone: “Cui Mingzhu, who said I want to kill you here?”
Cui Mingzhu widened her eyes again and asked in shock: "You're not going to kill me here?"
"Of course, I'm not stupid enough to give anyone a handle." Shen Ningyuan said faintly: "Besides, I won't let you die in my hands."
Cui Mingzhu's pupils suddenly shrank and a look of confusion appeared in her eyes.
Shen Ningyuan continued coldly: "Because I think you are dirty, and I don't want you to dirty my hands."
"You think I'm dirty, and you're afraid of dirtying your hands?" Cui Mingzhu laughed twice in mockery, and said mercilessly: "Chen Ningyuan, you're so funny! On the one hand, you said you wanted to kill me to silence me, and on the other hand, you said you were afraid of dirtying your hands. Who knows what you want to do?"
Chen Ningyuan smiled and said, "Killing you to silence you and being afraid that you will dirty my hands are two different things and do not conflict with each other."
"What do you mean?" Cui Mingzhu looked confused.
Shen Ningyuan said truthfully: "Because, you will not die in my hands."
Cui Mingzhu was stunned again, and cast her eyes towards Yi Ge, asking harshly: "Do you want this maid to do it? Don't think I don't know, she is the secret guard that Shen Haobai left for you, sent to protect you closely!"
“Sure enough, you know everything about the Shen family.” Shen Ningyuan said in a cold tone.
Cui Mingzhu continued to sneer: "I didn't know it before, but now that you have come to this point today, I guessed it."
As she spoke, the smile on Cui Mingzhu's face gradually turned into a bitter smile, her tone full of jealousy, "Chen Ningyuan, ah Shen Ningyuan, the Shen family treats you so well, whether it's Shen Haobai or Shen Haoyue, they are always on your side! Shen Haobai even gave you the secret guards who protected him!"
As she spoke, the jealousy on Cui Mingzhu's face became more intense.
He stared at Chen Ningyuan and shouted hoarsely, "Chen Ningyuan, why? Why can you have all this by birth!"
"Because you are jealous of me, you are willing to join forces with Ji Yunchuan and betray the Shen family who has raised you for many years?" Shen Ningyuan gritted her teeth and asked back.
Upon hearing this, Cui Mingzhu's face suddenly changed, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
After the shock, she asked in a trembling voice: "Chen, Chen Ningyuan, do you know everything?"
Shen Ningyuan did not respond, which was considered as her acquiescence.
Seeing this, Cui Mingzhu suddenly realized and said, "I know! You asked this maid to kill Uncle Chen. You wanted to control the account office of the Marquis' Mansion in your own hands!"
"Ji Yunhuan, you killed him too!"
Cui Mingzhu couldn't help but scream, "Even the person that Brother Yunchuan told me about, the one he ran into in the ancestral hall that night, was you!"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan sneered again.
He lowered his eyes and stared at Cui Mingzhu, and said coldly: "Cui Mingzhu, you are smarter than I thought."
Then, Shen Ningyuan squatted down.
He pinched Cui Mingzhu's chin, and said with a tone of sarcasm and pity, "But so what?"
"In the end, it was ruined by a man!"
Shen Ningyuan felt a little disappointed.
He mocked, "Cui Mingzhu, you are so infatuated! The brother Yunchuan you keep calling out just watched you get violated by a homeless guy, and he didn't even try to save you!"
Cui Mingzhu immediately retorted: "What do you know? Brother Yunchuan has his own frustrations, you don't understand him at all!"
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
After a moment of silence, Shen Ningyuan said faintly: "It doesn't matter if I don't understand, you will understand soon."
Unfortunately, Cui Mingzhu didn't understand what Chen Ningyuan meant, and continued to shout: "Chen Ningyuan, you'd better kill me now, otherwise I will tell Brother Yunchuan about all this, and he won't let you go!"
"Do you think you still have a chance to speak?" Shen Ningyuan asked faintly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ningyuan took out a dagger from his sleeve.
The dagger flashed coldly, and Cui Mingzhu was so scared that she stepped back desperately: "Chen Ningyuan, you just said that you wouldn't kill me here!"
"Of course I won't kill you." Shen Ningyuan said calmly, "I just didn't give you a chance to speak."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Ningyuan suddenly pinched Cui Mingzhu's chin and forced her mouth to open wide.
The dagger in his hand stabbed into Cui Mingzhu's mouth fiercely, and then he gently turned, poked, and swung it.
With a "plop", a bloody object was thrown to the ground.
Cui Mingzhu's tongue was cut off at the root by the dagger that could cut through iron like mud!
Seeing this scene, Yi Ge was once again shocked by Chen Ningyuan's ruthlessness.
When Shen Ningyuan asked her to borrow a dagger just now, she thought she was going to kill someone, but she didn't expect that she was going to cut off Cui Mingzhu's tongue!
Seeing Cui Mingzhu covering her bleeding mouth and looking at herself in horror, Shen Ningyuan showed a happy smile on her face.
She gently patted Cui Mingzhu's bloodstained face and smiled with satisfaction: "It's all right now, you don't have a chance to speak."
"Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo..."
Cui Mingzhu’s eyes were bloodshot, and she glared at Shen Ningyuan angrily, and could only make painful choking sounds.
Although she couldn't hear what she was saying, Shen Ningyuan knew that Cui Mingzhu's scolding was quite ugly.
However, there is nothing to be afraid of dying ants!
Chen Ningyuan stood up and whispered to Yi Ge: "Take her back to the other courtyard. Someone will come to take her life soon."
After that, Shen Ningyuan added: “By the way, remember to treat her wounds, don’t let her lose too much blood and fall into a coma.”
She wanted Cui Mingzhu to stay awake and see with her own eyes who killed her!
"Yes, Miss!" Yi Ge replied in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, he dragged the screaming Cui Mingzhu out of the ancestral hall.
After Yi Ge left, Chen Ningyuan wiped the bloodstains left in the ancestral hall alone.
The huge ancestral hall of the marquis's mansion was so clean that it seemed as if nothing had ever happened.
After doing all this, Shen Ningyuan looked up at the sky.
At this time, there was still about a cup of tea's time left before the time she and Chen had agreed upon.
Really good, perfect timing.
It won't be long before Chen brings people here.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan walked to the futon and knelt down.
Put your hands together in front of your chest and close your eyes to pray.
Pray to God for protection, and help her kill her enemy with one blow.
After a while, Lan Yin and Lu Ying walked into the ancestral hall.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan kneeling on the futon, Lan Yin asked with concern: “Miss, how long have you been kneeling here?”
Shen Ningyuan did not answer, but asked directly: "Where are the people in the front hall?"
"It's almost time. Chen has called all the guests over." Lan Yin said, "The funeral procession is about to begin. Miss, should we follow the funeral procession?"
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's my husband who died, of course I have to follow him."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise outside the ancestral hall.
It seems that Chen has brought people here.
