Chapter 280: Terrified

After the butler said this, the surroundings fell into deathly silence.

All the guards lowered their heads, looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, not daring to make any noise.

Even at this moment, I wish I were deaf and dumb.

It is not a good thing for them to know the secrets of the master's family.

It’s hard to say, it’s very likely that your life will be in danger.

It was because, combined with what Chen had said just now, the housekeeper seemed to be indirectly reminding everyone what shameful things Shen Ningyuan was doing in the courtyard.

The coldness in Shen Ningyuan's eyes became even stronger.

The housekeeper and Chen are in unison, determined to put her on the pillar of shame today, and they won't give up!

Unfortunately, things did not turn out as they expected.

They are bound to be disappointed!

All the thieves who broke into Xiyuanju that night were killed by Xie Wanzhou.

The remaining one was unconscious and half dead, having been frightened out of his wits.

When Shen Ningyuan thought of this, the anger in her heart gradually subsided.

He didn't even glance at Chen or the housekeeper.

It was as if he didn't hear the hurtful words they said at all.

Or maybe I just don’t care at all!

Shen Ningyuan's expression returned to its usual indifference, and she spoke in a calm tone.

"Some thieves broke into the An Ning Marquis's mansion at night, intending to set off smoke to kill people and rob them. Fortunately, I didn't sleep well at night and discovered them in time. During the struggle, I accidentally killed two of the thieves, and the remaining one is still in a coma."

After saying this, Shen Ningyuan took a step back and slightly moved sideways to make way.

His attitude was very calm, and he just asked everyone to go and check it out.

Shen Ningyuan deliberately did not say that the thief broke into the Marquis' Mansion at night under someone's instructions.

Because at this critical moment, it doesn't make much sense to say it or not.

Even if he told her, Chen would not admit it.

After the buffering moment just now, Chen and the housekeeper have regained their composure.

The two looked at each other in silence.

He nodded imperceptibly.

Then, Chen was the first to step into the courtyard.

Others followed closely behind.

Everyone held torches in their hands, and in an instant, the courtyard was as bright as day.

Naturally, he could see clearly the three people lying in a pool of blood at the door of the main house, as well as the bamboo tubes scattered around the door frame.

The chief guard walked forward, examined the two bodies and a half-dead man on the ground, and came to his initial conclusion.

It was exactly the same as what Chen Ningyuan had said before.

A corpse, its head almost severed, with only a thin layer of skin still connecting it to the brain.

The other body had a cut on the aorta in the neck and was already dead.

The only person still alive was breathing out more than breathing in, and was just barely hanging on.

After checking, the chief guard looked at the bamboo tube by the door and found some residual smoke fragments inside.

All these circumstances provide irrefutable evidence.

Shen Ningyuan did not tell any lies.

The chief of the guards reported truthfully everything he had discovered.

As soon as Chen saw the bodies, her legs began to tremble like sieves and she could not even stand steadily.

I vaguely knew before that Shen Ningyuan was the daughter of a general and had extraordinary skills.

But she had never revealed such a horrifying side of herself in front of him.

No matter how arrogant and domineering Chen was, she was just a woman in the boudoir, powerless and had never seen such bloodshed.

At this moment, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes, and even standing still was very difficult.

If he hadn't retained the last bit of rationality, he would have fainted from fright.

I was even more panicked and at a loss.

The word "it's over" kept circling in my mind.

He clenched his hands into fists and pinched his palms with his fingertips so hard that blood oozed out.

It was the piercing pain in the palm of his hand that allowed Chen to barely maintain his sanity.

Chen was completely regretful. Why did she provoke such a cruel and vicious woman?

It is entirely foreseeable that Shen Ningyuan will never let her go easily.

It will definitely make her life worse than death.

When the butler saw this scene, layers of cold sweat broke out on his back.

Keep swallowing saliva.

Chen Ningyuan is really a person who never reveals his true identity. If he reveals his true identity, he is not a real person. He actually has such a thundering method.

At this moment, the butler felt an unprecedented fear.

I regret it so much.

Why did he betray Shen Ningyuan just because of the promise made by Chen's mother and son?

This time it's really all over!

Shen Ningyuan didn't know what the people in front of him were thinking.

But based on her temperament and personality, even if she knew that they were shocked and afraid, she probably wouldn't cause too much trouble.

All the blood feuds committed by the Shen family in the previous life must be avenged one by one.

No one from the Ji family can escape.

They are all executioners, there is no innocent person.

Everyone was silent and the atmosphere was extremely dead.

After Shen Ningyuan looked around, her eyes finally fell on the leader of the guards.

"Guard Zhou, such a disaster has occurred in the Marquis' Mansion today. We must punish them severely and investigate thoroughly. I will wait for your reply tomorrow morning."

The safety of the Marquis's Mansion is left in the hands of these guards, and they treat it like such a joke?

This time, the marquis’ mansion was in trouble, and none of the guards in the mansion could escape.

Guard Zhou bowed to Shen Ningyuan, beads of cold sweat falling from his forehead.

I knew clearly that if I couldn't give her a satisfactory answer, this day would definitely be ruined.

Sure enough, the next moment she continued speaking.

"Guard Zhou is in charge of hundreds of guards. The safety of the Marquis' Mansion is entirely your responsibility. Is this how you take charge? Great, that's really great!"

Guard Zhou felt that he was even more wronged than Dou E.

It was not their day on duty today, and for some unknown reason, all the guards at that time were unconscious and are still unconscious now.

But as the commander of the guards in the marquis's mansion, he has an unshirkable responsibility for such a disaster.

If he finds out who is behind this, he will be punished miserably.

"I obey your command and will give the young lady a satisfactory answer."

Chen Ningyuan had no idea what it meant to quit while you are ahead.

After looking at Chen and the housekeeper steadily with his ink-black eyes, he spoke in a deep voice.

"As the saying goes, it's hard to guard against a thief in your own house, even if you have to guard against them day and night. If there is no one helping from the inside, how could this gangster be in the mansion as if there is no one? Guard Zhou, you must investigate thoroughly!"

This statement is almost as clear as a hint.

Guard Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and a chill instantly ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

I was extremely shocked!

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Ningyuan in disbelief.

His eyes were full of fear.

No matter how stupid one is, after being reminded like this, one will know that the person who can do such a disaster must have absolute control over the Marquis' Mansion.

In this way, the scope of people who could cooperate with outside forces would be greatly reduced.

At this moment, Guard Zhou wanted to die.

This is really a fight between gods, and the little devils are suffering.

What had he done to offend anyone? He was only paid a monthly salary, so why was it so difficult?

But unfortunately, I encountered such a disaster and there was no way to retreat.
