Chapter 236: Counterattack

Ji Yunchuan raised his head, looked at Ji Yunnuo, and asked coldly: "What do you mean? Are you trying to say that I directed and acted in all this myself?"

Ji Yunnuo chuckled and said, "It's not impossible!"

"Nonsense!" Before Ji Yunchuan could say anything, Chen stood up and shouted, "Do you know that if this gets out, the entire Marquisate will be buried with you!"

"Mrs. Ji, why are you so excited? My uncle is just talking casually, it's not a big deal."

As Shen Ningyuan spoke, her smile deepened, "But speaking of which, why are Madam Ji and my husband so nervous? Could it be that, as my uncle said, all this was directed and acted by my husband?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ningyuan looked at Ji Yunchuan with a half-smile on her face.

Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan's face changed instantly, he gritted his teeth and glared at Shen Ningyuan, and shouted angrily: "Shen Ningyuan, I am your husband, whose side are you on!"

"Just telling the truth, it has nothing to do with standing in line, right?" Shen Ningyuan raised an eyebrow.

"You..." Ji Yunchuan was choked and took a deep breath to calm down. "Do you understand the principle of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"

“If I understood, I wouldn’t have slapped you just now.” Shen Ningyuan sneered.

"puff--"

After Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, Ji Yunnuo couldn't help but laughed out loud on the spot.

His smile made Ji Yunchuan's face even uglier.

Looking at the two people who sang the same tune, Ji Yunchuan had no place to vent the anger in his heart.

"Since my husband is back, you should have a good rest. I guess I will have to go to the palace to meet His Majesty tomorrow."

After hearing this, Ji Yunchuan's face froze.

Only then did he realize that as soon as he returned, he must go to the palace to see the emperor.

After all, he was the only one who survived that battle.

Seeing Ji Yunchuan's stiff expression, Shen Ningyuan lowered her eyes slightly, "Then I won't disturb my husband's rest and will leave first."

After saying that, Shen Ningyuan turned around and was about to leave.

“Wait!”

As soon as Shen Ningyuan turned around, Ji Yunchuan called her.

"What's the matter?" Shen Ningyuan asked softly without turning her head.

Being ignored by Shen Ningyuan like this, even if Ji Yunchuan was unhappy, he could only endure it.

"Tomorrow, if His Majesty wants me to go to the palace, you... accompany me."

Ji Yunchuan almost squeezed out the last few words from between his teeth.

With Shen Ningyuan accompanying him, His Majesty would not make things too difficult for him for the sake of the Shen family.

"No, I don't have time."

Of course Shen Ningyuan knew what Ji Yunchuan was thinking and refused directly.

"Why not?"

Ji Yunchuan's face was stiff as he questioned in a deep voice.

Shen Ningyuan snorted.

"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Do you need a reason?"

After saying that, Shen Ningyuan raised her foot and left without looking back.

Looking at Shen Ningyuan's leaving back, Ji Yunchuan broke down on the spot.

He shouted at Chen Ningyuan's back, "Chen Ningyuan! Come back! Come back!"

But no matter how he shouted, Shen Ningyuan remained unmoved and left the yard soon.

Ji Yunchuan was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.

Seeing him like this, Chen quickly comforted him, "Chuan'er, don't be angry, or you will get sick from anger."

"Mom, look at her. She was such a good person. How could she become like this?"

Ji Yunchuan pointed in the direction where Shen Ningyuan left, “She wasn’t like this before!”

Chen said helplessly: “Chuan’er, the current Chen Ningyuan is indeed different from before.”

In the past, Shen Ningyuan was patient and virtuous, and treated her like her own mother.

But now Shen Ningyuan doesn't take them seriously at all and gets angry at the slightest disagreement.

“Chuan’er, during the time you’ve been back, you should coax Shen Ningyuan well and try not to make her angry.” Chen advised.

"Why?" Ji Yunchuan looked puzzled.

Chen sighed, "You'll know later."

While speaking, Chen glanced at Ji Yunnuo.

Ji Yunchuan seemed to realize something and immediately shut his mouth.

Ji Yunnuo glanced at the two of them and sneered in his heart.

Judging from the way the two of them are acting, there must be something they want to say that he can't hear.

Ji Yunnuo chuckled, "In that case, I won't disturb you to rest. If you need anything, just send someone to inform Yunnuo, and Yunnuo will make arrangements for you."

From his words to his exterior, he acted like a master.

After saying this, without waiting for Ji Yunchuan's response, Ji Yunnuo turned around and walked out the door.

After he left, Ji Yunnuo couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing.

"Damn it! I never thought that one day, I, Ji Yunchuan, would be stepped on by a bastard!"

Ji Yunchuan clenched his fists, and veins bulged on his fair and handsome face.

"Chuan'er," Chen gently pushed him and soothed him softly, "Calm down first, or you'll get sick from anger."

"Mom, and you."

This comfort successfully shifted Ji Yunchuan's attention to Chen.

"Why did you call all the doctors in the capital?" Ji Yunchuan lowered his voice, "Do you know that this will expose the fact that I pretended to be hunted back to the capital!"

"What? All these injuries of yours are fake?" Chen exclaimed.

As soon as the words fell, Chen finally reacted and asked in a low voice: "Chuan'er, don't tell me that you caused these injuries by yourself."

Ji Yunchuan nodded, "Yes, I cut them all myself."

Chen was even more surprised. "So, what the doctors said is true. Your injuries are not serious. They are just superficial injuries?"

"What else?" Ji Yunchuan said in a slightly cold tone, "Mom, you have ruined my good plans!"

“Oh my God, how could this happen?” Chen wailed, “How could I have thought that you would do this? You don’t know, when I saw you covered in blood, I was so scared that I thought you were… dying!”

"Mother!" Ji Yunchuan shouted in a low voice, "You can speak louder so that everyone in the mansion can hear it!"

After being scolded, Chen quickly shut her mouth, lowered her head and dared not look directly into Ji Yunchuan's eyes.

She said weakly, "Chuan'er, mother is too worried about you, so she is afraid that those quack doctors will delay your treatment."

Chen's tone became weaker and weaker. "After all, I didn't expect your plan to be like this. If you had told me in advance, I wouldn't have been so stupid as to call all the doctors in the capital to take your pulse."

"Okay, stop talking." Ji Yunchuan held his forehead and sighed, "Mom, didn't you notice that Shen Ningyuan has been deliberately seducing you and invited doctors over? If I guess correctly, she should know that I am pretending."

"What should we do then?" Chen's face was in a panic, "What if Shen Ningyuan leaks this matter out? Wouldn't we be finished?"

Ji Yunchuan shook his head, signaling Chen not to panic.

"It's okay. I'm still her husband. She won't be stupid enough to drag herself down with it."

Hearing this, Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's true. Even if Chen Ningyuan is stupid, she doesn't know how to harm you. After all, you are still her man and her heaven."

Speaking of the latter, Chen snorted coldly and said contemptuously: “In this world, without a man, you are nothing. Shen Ningyuan, this bitch, still relies on you!”

Seeing that Chen didn't learn his lesson, Ji Yunchuan felt a headache.

After taking a deep breath, he said helplessly: "Mom, next time you encounter this kind of situation, you should pay more attention to my expression, okay? Don't make the same mistake a second time!"
