Chapter 28: Rumor Counterattack

After saying that, Shen Ningyuan's face darkened slightly, with murderous intent in his eyes.

What a vicious plot!

“Is that so?”

Song Yaner couldn't help but exclaimed.

Cui Jin also frowned, slowly digesting what Shen Ningyuan had just said.

She really didn't expect that there was such a conspiracy behind the rumors this time.

Every step was taken to calculate the Shen family and Shen Ningyuan's situation.

"Yuan'er, according to your opinion, what should we do next?" Cui Jin asked Chen Ningyuan.

Song Yan'er also looked at Shen Ningyuan, her eyes revealing anxiety.

Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and said in a deep voice: “We don’t have to do anything, it’s the biggest counterattack against the Ji family.”

"No, we still have to do something."

As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Song Yaner beside him.

Suddenly he asked, "Sister-in-law, should you buy a new set of clothes? Or should you buy a new headdress?"

Song Yan'er was stunned and asked in confusion: "Yuan'er, it's already this time, and you still have the mind to buy clothes for your sister-in-law?"

Chen Ningyuan nodded, "No matter when, we still have to buy what we need!"

Song Yan'er was stunned for a moment, looked at Cui Jin in surprise, and said, "Mom, look at my sister, is her mind confused?"

Cui Jin shook her head. "Yan'er, listen to your sister. After breakfast, go shopping with your sister. Remember to bring a few more girls with you."

"Mom!" Song Yan'er was anxious, "My sister is confused, and you are confused too. At this time, we still want to go shopping? Isn't it a bit too ostentatious?"

Shen Ningyuan quickly explained: "Sister-in-law, the more times like this, the more we can't hide at home and deliberately deal with these rumors. Instead, it will make us look guilty, so what we have to do is to pretend that we don't care about anything and be open and honest."

After hearing this, Song Yaner frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he vaguely understood what Shen Ningyuan meant.

I nodded immediately, "Okay, after dinner, sister-in-law will go shopping with you."

After saying that, Song Yaner turned and walked away to prepare things.

After Song Yan'er left, Cui Jin looked deeply at Shen Ningyuan, his eyes dark and unclear.

After a moment, he asked worriedly, "Yuan'er, do you really not care about the rumors outside?"

"Mom, since it's just rumors, why should I care?" Shen Ningyuan asked instead of answering.

Cui Jin was choked and couldn't refute.

Shen Ningyuan was now so calm that it frightened her.

She didn't know why Shen Ningyuan had such a change.

She just thought that her daughter had wasted the year she married into the Ji family.

Thinking of this, Cui Jin sighed again, "If that's the case, then Yuan'er will handle it. If it really can't be solved, it won't be too late for parents to take action."

“Mom, I know.” Shen Ningyuan nodded sensibly.

Seeing that she was so sensible now, Cui Jin felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

On the other side, Cui Mingzhu listened to the report from her personal maid with a cold smile on her face.

"I just don't believe it. The rumors outside are so rampant, and every word is poking at the Shen family and Shen Ningyuan's spine. How can they not be anxious!"

"Miss is right." The maid Lu Wan responded with her head down.

"I'll just wait and see when those two old men will get impatient and drive Shen Ningyuan back to the Ji family!"

As Cui Mingzhu spoke, the curve of her mouth became more and more obvious.

The scene of Shen Ningyuan being kicked out of the Shen family has already appeared in my mind.

The more Cui Mingzhu thought about it, the more proud she became.

Then, she turned to Lu Wan who was standing beside her and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and keep an eye on Chen Ningyuan. If she makes any movement, report to me immediately!"

"Yes, miss."

Lu Wan responded, turned around and went out.

Cui Mingzhu walked to the dressing mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, the pride in her eyes became more obvious.

“Chen Ningyuan, this time, let me see how you get away!”

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Wan ran in hurriedly from outside.

As soon as she entered the door, she shouted loudly: "Cousin, the eldest lady is out shopping with the young mistress and a group of maids and servants!"

"What?"

Cui Mingzhu was so shocked that she stood up from her chair and stared at Lu Wan in disbelief.

“Are you seeing things? At this time, with rumors flying everywhere outside, how could Shen Ningyuan go out shopping?”

Cui Mingzhu’s eyes almost popped out.

Lu Wan hurriedly shook her head, "Cousin, I am not mistaken. The eldest lady is still at the gate, ready to leave."

“Does this bitch Shen Ningyuan really plan to go out shopping at this time?”

"Something is wrong. Shen Ningyuan, that bitch, chose to go out at this time. She must have been planning something behind the scenes."

Cui Mingzhu frowned and looked at Lu Wan, "Follow Shen Ningyuan and Song Yaner and see what they do after they leave the house."

"I will go right away!"

Seeing that Cui Mingzhu was so anxious, Lu Wan also left in a hurry after she finished speaking.

Cui Mingzhu did not sit down. She stood there staring out the door, the expression on her face becoming increasingly sinister and distorted.

"I want to see what this bitch wants to do!"

"However, at this point, no matter what she wants to do, it will be useless."

"The rumors outside are so bad, she will definitely be scolded by the people soon after she leaves!"

"Humph, Shen Ningyuan, you will pay the price for your self-righteous cleverness!"

After saying that, Cui Mingzhu sat back in her chair.

Wait for Shen Ningyuan to return to the Shen family in a mess.

At this time, a spacious carriage was parked in front of the general's mansion.

With Luying's help, Shen Ningyuan slowly got into the carriage.

Then, he waved to Song Yaner, "Sister-in-law, what are you daydreaming about? Get in the car quickly."

Song Yan'er was still a little embarrassed, "Yuan'er, is it really appropriate for us to go out shopping at this time?"

Shen Ningyuan shook her head, her tone a little coquettish, "Sister-in-law, there's nothing inappropriate. After I married into the Ji family, I haven't gone out shopping much. Just think of it as accompanying me!"

Seeing Shen Ningyuan acting coquettishly, Song Yaner's heart softened, and she got on the carriage without any hesitation.

The curtain was lowered and the carriage swayed away.

The people on both sides of the street widened their eyes in shock when they saw the carriage.

"This looks like the General's carriage? How dare someone from the General's Mansion come out at this hour? Aren't they afraid of being spit upon?"

“The person sitting in the carriage seems to be Shen Ningyuan, who married into the Ji family from the General’s Mansion. Does she still have a brain? How dare she go out at this time?”

"If she had any brains, she wouldn't have come out!"

"No, do you think it is possible that the General's Mansion heard the rumors outside and was afraid of being implicated by Shen Ningyuan, so they used a carriage to send Shen Ningyuan back to the Ji family?"

"Remove the possibility and it must be yes!"

"Yes, she is just a married woman. How can the Shen family pay much attention to her? It's not like they don't have a son..."

"That's right. No matter how stupid the Shen family is, they will not put themselves in a disadvantageous position just for a daughter who marries out!"

“…”

In the carriage, hearing the discussions outside, Song Yaner held Shen Ningyuan's hand worriedly.
