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 134: Opening a new family tree
As if she had noticed Shen the butcher's gaze, Chen Moer snorted coldly and said in a more serious tone: "It is only natural and reasonable for you to come to collect the debt!"
"But with the current situation... you can just collect the debt, why are you looting and destroying the Marquis' Mansion? Although the Marquis' Mansion has been defeated, it is still a famous family after all. Aren't you guys going too far by doing this?"
"When the government officials arrive later and see the mansion in such a mess, what do you think they will do?"
At the end, Chen Moer deliberately emphasized her tone and warned in a deep voice: "Don't let it end up like this, where not only do you not get your money back, but you get caught by the evil people in the government and thrown in jail for the rest of your life!"
For ordinary people, the most feared thing is going to jail.
Sure enough, after Chen Moer finished speaking, there was an immediate commotion in the crowd.
Those who actually came to collect debts began to back off.
"It seems what they said is true. We are just here to collect a debt. There is no need to risk our lives and our possessions!"
"That's right. If we are arrested and thrown into prison, who knows what tricks the Ji family will use to deal with us?"
"After all, there's really no need to make such a fuss just to collect a debt!"
"Why don't we just stop here and go back first, and pay the Ji family back when they have money?"
"I think it's okay, or let's go back first..."
Seeing that these people were backing off, Chen Moer's eyes turned cold.
Ordinary people are not to be feared.
Ji Zehai didn't expect that the situation that was causing him and Chen a lot of headaches could be solved by Chen Moer with just a few words.
For a moment, there was a hint of strangeness in the eyes looking at Chen Moer.
He didn't expect that his niece who had been fostered in the Ji family for five years had such ability!
Just when Ji Zehai breathed a sigh of relief, the troublemakers in the crowd started making noise again.
Someone stood up and pointed at Ji Zehai and said, "Everyone, if we go back now, can we get back the money that the Marquis' Mansion owes us?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked suspicious.
Seeing this, the man continued, "We have messed up the Marquis' Mansion like this today. Do you think the Marquis' Mansion will let us go?"
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.
"That's right. With things like this, will the Marquis' Mansion let us go?"
"Let's just fight till the end and get all the money back. Then we can tell others about it and it won't be our fault!"
"That's right, we must not let the Marquis' Mansion get away with it. The officials are rich and unkind. They usually like to exploit the people. Now they owe us so much money. If we give in, they will never let us go!"
“That’s right…”
For a moment, the crowd that had just been calmed down by Chen Moer started to become noisy again.
Chen Moer's expression paused, and her eyes were fixed on the people who were causing trouble!
It seems that this is the person who is plotting against the Ji family behind the scenes.
I won't give up until I achieve my goal!
Ji Zehai was also panicking. He looked at Chen Moer nervously and asked with a wry smile, "Moer, what should we do now? We can't drive these people away."
Chen Moer's face paused, and she suddenly thought of something.
He looked at Ji Zehai coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Uncle, is it possible that there is no money left in the account of the Marquis' Mansion to appease these people?"
Ji Zehai's expression froze, and he said in a low voice, "Yes... yes, the Marquis's Mansion has been in deficit for a long time, and there is no money left."
"You guys..." Chen Moer was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Seeing Chen Moer's face change drastically, Ji Zehai explained in a low voice: "You know, all the expenses of the Marquis' Mansion are spent on Shen Ningyuan's dowry, even secretly giving to the palace-"
Before he could finish his words, Chen Moer glared at him.
Ji Zehai instantly realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.
He quickly changed the topic and said, "Mo'er, you know better than anyone where the money of the Marquis' Mansion was spent. Now that bitch Shen Ningyuan has taken back all the dowry, there is nothing we can do!"
Ji Zehai became more and more helpless as he spoke, which made Chen Moer feel a headache.
He said in a cold voice: "Okay, uncle, stop talking. I will tell His Highness about these things in person!"
After saying that, Chen Moer looked at the group of debt collectors in front of her and gritted her teeth secretly.
She knew in her heart: if anything went wrong at this time, His Highness would not let her go!

Snap——
With the crisp sound of chess pieces falling, the situation on the chessboard clearly favored Ji Yunnuo's black pieces.
"Sister-in-law, if the situation continues like this, I seem to have a slight advantage?" Ji Yunnuo smiled lightly.
Chen Ningyuan lowered her eyes, looked around calmly, and said with a smile: "Bai Zi still has a chance to catch his breath. What if he struggles hard again?"
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan placed a piece slowly.
Ji Yunnuo's expression changed, and he placed a black chess piece close to the position where Shen Ningyuan's white chess piece was placed.
The voice was low and hoarse: "Sister-in-law, you can't escape..."
Shen Ningyuan did not respond, but just looked at Ji Yunnuo with a smile.
She could tell that Ji Yunnuo's words had more to say than just a reference to the chess game in front of them.
After a moment of silence, Shen Ningyuan pretended not to understand and changed the subject: "So Chen Moer, can you solve the problems encountered by the Marquis' Mansion?"
"As long as she dares to report to the police, the matter will be handled properly." Ji Yunnuo replied.
"Ji Zehai, will he let her report to the police?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.
Ji Yunnuo nodded affirmatively and said truthfully: "He can't stop Chen Moer, because the entire Ji family is afraid of Chen Moer."
Shen Ningyuan paused, not understanding what Ji Yunnuo meant.
Ji Yunnuo added: "It should be said that I am afraid of the person behind Chen Moer."
Shen Ningyuan reacted and immediately asked, "Who is the person behind Chen Moer?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Yunnuo, who usually knew everything, fell silent, which was unusual for him.
Chen Ningyuan frowned: "What? This is the sincerity you mentioned, you are not even willing to say this?"
Ji Yunnuo raised his lips and chuckled: "This issue has already involved the deal between me and my sister-in-law. After my sister-in-law helps me complete what I want to do, I will definitely tell my sister-in-law who is behind Chen Moer."
"If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I can find it out myself."
Shen Ningyuan dropped a piece expressionlessly.
"Sister-in-law, are you angry?" Ji Yunnuo's smile deepened, and he said slowly: "Won't you know when our deal is over?"
Chen Ningyuan glanced over coldly: "After talking for so long, you still haven't told me what our deal is?"
Ji Yunnuo raised his eyes and said word by word: "I will give sister-in-law the evidence to overthrow the Ji family, and sister-in-law will help me get the title of Marquis."
Shen Ningyuan's eyebrows sank instantly: "Ji Yunnuo, are you kidding me?"
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?"
Shen Ningyuan calmly analyzed: "Once I get the evidence to overthrow the Ji family, I will definitely use the power of the General's Mansion to destroy the entire Ji family. You are also one of the nine clans of the Ji family, so how can you get the title of Marquis Mansion?"
After hearing this, Ji Yunnuo said without thinking: "The Ji family is the Ji family, and the Marquis' Mansion is the Marquis' Mansion. I don't mind opening a new family tree."
Ji Yunnuo's tone was calmer than ever before.
But these calm words frightened Shen Ningyuan's pupils and she looked at him in disbelief: "Ji Yunnuo, you lunatic..."
