Chapter 185: Going to her house to ask for help

"What?"

Chen's face changed and she almost fainted on the spot.

Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and looked over, and found that Chen's emotions were even more excited than when she released Chen Moer just now.

It seems that in Chen's heart, the title of Marquis is above everything else.

Chen managed to calm herself down, stood up tremblingly, and held the hand of the maid who delivered the message.

He asked in a trembling voice: "Tell me, did you hear it wrong?"

The maid shook her head, "Madam, how dare this servant lie about such a big matter?"

"Who told you?" Chen asked again.

The maid pursed her lips and continued, "Madam, my servant's brother was on duty in the palace and he overheard it by accident while on guard last night."

"It is said that His Majesty is very serious and has revealed to the Empress that the Ji family has been sitting on the title for too long." The maid added.

“Really…really?”

Chen's face was distorted, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and exchanged a knowing look with Lan Yin behind her.

Sure enough, in Chen's heart, nothing could compare to the status of the Marquise.

She didn't care about her husband's situation or the life or death of her children.

The only person she cares about is herself.

Seeing Chen fainted, Madam Ji pretended to be calm and had someone help Chen down.

After Chen left, everyone else's expressions became very strange.

After the first person said goodbye and left, the others also stood up and said goodbye and left.

It was obvious that after hearing that His Majesty was going to strip the Marquis's title, they all didn't want to have anything to do with the Ji family anymore.

Seeing that the person who had just been trying to please her was now trying to avoid her, Old Lady Ji was extremely angry.

After everyone left, she angrily smashed the teacup on the table to the ground.

He angrily cursed, "What a bunch of filthy people! Just now you were trying to curry favor with the Marquis' Mansion, but now that you see the Marquis' Mansion is in trouble, you just leave!"

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan showed no expression on her face, but sneered in her heart.

After a while, Madam Ji set her sights on Shen Ningyuan.

But before she could speak, Shen Ningyuan stood up unexpectedly and said calmly: "Grandma, everyone has dispersed. The granddaughter-in-law doesn't dare to disturb your meditation, so she will go back first."

After saying that, without giving the other party any chance to respond, Shen Ningyuan turned and left.

"you……"

Madam Ji watched Shen Ningyuan leave, a word stuck in her throat, unable to utter it.

In an instant, the only people left in the huge front hall were Old Madam Ji, Nanny Hai beside her, and Ji Yunnuo who had not left yet.

Nanny Hai, with a red and swollen face, looked at Chen Ningyuan leaving with reluctance, but there was nothing she could do.

At this time, Old Madam Ji looked at Ji Yunnuo, and there was a little more relief in her turbid eyes.

"Grandma's good grandson, you are still filial at the critical moment--"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Ji Yunnuo: "Grandma, my sister-in-law is right. You have always liked to practice in seclusion. I will not disturb you and will take my leave first."

After saying this, Ji Yunnuo did not give Madam Ji a chance to react. He nodded and left.

Old Madam Ji sat on the Zen wooden chair, feeling very choked up in her heart but helpless.

Seeing that Madam Ji was on the verge of getting angry, even though Nanny Hai was also angry, she had to hold back her anger and patiently coax the old woman.

On the other side, Ji Yunnuo quickly caught up with Shen Ningyuan after leaving the front hall.

"Sister-in-law, wait for me."

Hearing the shout behind him, Shen Ningyuan turned around.

She saw Ji Yunnuo running towards her with beads of sweat on his forehead.

Shen Ningyuan stopped, looked at Ji Yunnuo indifferently, and asked softly: "Is there anything else?"

"Sister-in-law, today's incident was really great."

Ji Yunnuo praised sincerely: "Detaining Chen Mo'er is tantamount to cutting off the hand of the person behind the scenes who is reaching out to the Ji family. From now on, no matter what sister-in-law wants to do in the Ji family, she can do it without any scruples."

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan chuckled and said lightly: "I can't compare to you. You have seen through my plan long ago and arranged that scholar to slander Chen Moer for having an affair with a foreign man in front of everyone in the Ji family, so that the initiative is back in my hands."

"Didn't they slander my sister-in-law in the palace?" Ji Yunnuo smiled: "Now, it's just tit for tat, tit for tat."

Shen Ningyuan looked at Ji Yunnuo in surprise.

Suddenly she realized that he had arranged this incident today just to vent her anger.

"Thank you very much."

Shen Ningyuan uttered two words, turned around and was about to walk towards Xiyuanju.

Ji Yunnuo licked his face and followed, and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Shen Ningyuan said without even turning her head: “Go back and rest, and wait for someone to come.”

Ji Yunnuo was about to continue asking, but suddenly realized something.

He stopped immediately and watched Shen Ningyuan leave, with a look of attachment in his eyes.

Sure enough, Shen Ningyuan returned to Xiyuanju and had just laid down for a short time.

Lan Yin ran in hurriedly and said in panic, "Miss, Chen is here."

Shen Ningyuan sat up with a playful smile in her eyes.

"Oh, you woke up so soon?"

Lan Yin frowned and asked, "Miss, do you want her to come in?"

"Of course." Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and waved her hand indifferently, "Let her wait for me in the side hall."

"Yes, miss."

Lan Yin stepped back.

Shen Ningyuan sat up from the bed, put on her coat, and walked towards the side hall.

Before she entered the side hall, as soon as she heard her movement, Chen stood up anxiously and ran towards Shen Ningyuan.

He held her hand tightly and shouted in a trembling voice: "Yuan'er, now only you can save the Ji family!"

Shen Ningyuan: “…”

The call of "Yuan'er" made Shen Ningyuan feel uncomfortable.

Of course she knew what Chen meant by saving the Ji family.

Whether it is the relationship with Queen Mother Cui or the identity of the Shen family, they can help the Ji family overcome this difficulty and preserve the Ji family's title.

Although this was her plan from the beginning.

But she didn't expect Chen to speak so openly.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ningyuan withdrew his hand without leaving a trace.

He asked calmly, "Mrs. Ji, you are making things difficult for me. How can I save the Ji family?"

Hearing this, Chen looked at Shen Ningyuan and said more anxiously: “Yuan’er, you don’t have to say such things, mother knows you can do it.”

"As long as you are willing, you can definitely save the Ji family." Chen added again.

Shen Ningyuan smiled more playfully, walked around Chen and sat down on the chair in the middle of the side hall.

She slowly adjusted her dress, raised her eyebrows and looked at Chen, and asked meaningfully: "But what if I don't want to?"

"You don't want to?" Chen's eyes were fierce, "How can you not want to? You are the daughter-in-law of the Ji family!"

After hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's smile became even more playful.

Asked: "Oh? Did mother-in-law forget what she said before?"

Chen was stunned for a moment, and her surprised expression did not seem fake. "What did I say before?"

"At Yunchuan's funeral, Madam Ji said in front of many guests that the Ji family didn't want a daughter-in-law like me."

Chen's face froze, "I...I was..."

Shen Ningyuan didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued to ask: "Since the Ji family doesn't recognize me as their daughter-in-law, now that the Ji family is in trouble, I should not interfere, right?"

Do you remember to ask her now?

Too late!
