Chapter 246: Begging her

At this time, Ji Yunchuan was extremely conflicted.

He was unwilling to kneel down to Shen Ningyuan, but he was also unwilling to go to the palace alone to bear Xie Lixuan's anger.

Ji Yunchuan stood stiffly at the door, motionless, staring at Shen Ningyuan.

He seemed to be still hesitating whether to beg.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and then the eunuch's sharp voice came from outside the door: "General Ji, His Majesty is still waiting in the palace! You'd better leave quickly!"

Hearing this urging, Ji Yunchuan dug his nails deeply into his palms, but the piercing pain could not overcome the panic in his heart.

If the stalemate continues like this, the emperor's patience will surely run out.

If he continues to delay, he doesn't know what will happen to him.

Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan became extremely flustered.

But my mouth seemed to be locked with chains and I couldn't open it.

Finally, Ji Yunchuan gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice: “Chen Ningyuan, I beg you!”

"Oh, what do you want me to do?" Shen Ningyuan asked knowingly.

"Please accompany me to the palace!"

After Ji Yunchuan finished speaking, his face instantly turned red.

But after waiting for a long time, there was no response from Shen Ningyuan.

Ji Yunchuan raised his head, looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise, and asked in a deep voice: "Why don't you speak?"

Shen Ningyuan snorted coldly and said jokingly: “This is not the attitude of begging, I refuse to enter the palace with you.”

Ji Yunchuan was furious, "I've already asked you for help, why don't you agree?"

"You ask?" Chen Ningyuan sneered, "Is it a great gift? As soon as you open your mouth, I will agree to you?"

"you--"

Ji Yunchuan was speechless, but he couldn't say anything to refute.

But even so, he was still unwilling to kneel down to Shen Ningyuan.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to test: "Chen Ningyuan, I know you love money. I still have some land deeds and shops under my name, and I will give them all to you, as long as you promise to help me get through this difficult time!"

Seeing Ji Yunchuan soften his attitude, Shen Ningyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction, but her tone was still cold: "Ji Yunchuan, the Ji family has already given me 500,000 taels. Do you think this little thing in your hand is enough to make me excited?"

Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan became anxious and shouted directly: “Chen Ningyuan, I can assure you that from now on, all the affairs of the Ji family will be decided by you, and I will never interfere at all!”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Ningyuan laughed again.

"Ji Yunchuan, you really are Madam Ji's son. You speak and act just like her."

Ji Yunchuan was surprised, "What do you mean?"

Shen Ningyuan said slowly: "A year ago, when I just married into the Ji family, your mother also said that I would be in charge of all the affairs of the Ji family. It seemed like a decentralization, which was a great benefit to me, a newly married daughter-in-law, but what did I get in the end?"

"In exchange for this year, I paid a lot of dowry and supported the Ji family, but in return I got treated so cruelly by a bunch of you!"

"So you think this little bit of land and shops can impress me?"

As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan emphasized his tone, “Ji Yunchuan, show some sincerity, you know what I want!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunchuan widened his eyes again.

He knew what Shen Ningyuan wanted, but his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't kneel down.

Just at this moment, the eunuch's shrill voice was heard again outside.

"Ji Yunchuan! Does His Majesty have to come to the Marquis' Mansion in person to invite you?"

After hearing this, Ji Yunchuan finally felt scared.

He suddenly knelt down on his knees, and with a "dong" he knelt heavily in front of Shen Ningyuan.

“Chen Ningyuan, I beg you!”

The voice trembles, the tail end trembles.

When he raised his head again, Ji Yunchuan's eyes were full of embarrassment and unwillingness, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

Seeing this scene, Shen Ningyuan raised his eyebrows and felt happy.

This kneeling is just the beginning!

Shen Ningyuan smiled and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Ji Yunchuan's tone softened, "Please, accompany me to the palace to meet His Majesty."

"As long as you are willing to help me, I will do anything!" Ji Yunchuan added.

"I want you to die, okay?" Shen Ningyuan chuckled and asked back with a smile.

Ji Yunchuan raised his head suddenly and looked at Shen Ningyuan fearfully, “You want me to die?”

Chen Ningyuan did not respond, but bent down and moved closer to him, her warm breath sweeping past his ears: "Ji Yunchuan, it seems that you still know me very well and know what I want. What did you do earlier? If you had knelt down and begged earlier, we would have left by now. Why would you let your father-in-law come to urge you again and again?"

Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and begged anxiously: “Please Shen Ningyuan, I really can’t go to the palace to see His Majesty alone in my current situation. If you accompany me, His Majesty may not embarrass me so much for the sake of the Shen family!”

Shen Ningyuan sneered and deliberately prolonged her tone, “Okay, since you are so sincere, I promise you that I will accompany you into the palace.”

"In that case, let's go!"

After saying that, Shen Ningyuan stood up straight, adjusted his sleeves slowly, turned around and opened the door.

Seeing the door wide open, Ji Yunchuan was startled and stood up quickly. He didn't want people outside to see him kneeling in humiliation.

But because he had been kneeling for too long, his legs were numb and he almost fell when he stood up.

Ji Yunchuan forced himself to stand firmly, and turned around suddenly, only to see the eunuchs and servants in the palace looking at him in surprise.

Obviously, several people saw clearly the scene of him kneeling just now.
