Chapter 291: Nightmare

Now, it depends on who can keep calm.

Shen Ningyuan said this to herself in her heart.

The night passed in a flash.

In the sky, the sun is rising, and the sky is full of brilliant light.

Brilliant light poured down into the An Ning Marquis Mansion, covering every blade of grass and every tree.

What a vibrant scene.

Inside Xiyuanju, Lan Yin carried the copper basin, walked around the long corridor, and slowly walked to the outside of the main house.

Waiting with a calm expression.

Lan Yin looked up at the sky, and seeing that it was getting late, she gently lifted the bead curtain and walked into the inner room.

As soon as I put the copper basin down, I heard whispers mixed with pain from behind the screen.

“Don’t…don’t…don’t die…”

When Lan Yin heard the voice, she frowned, walked hurriedly around the screen and came to the bed.

He swiftly picked up the golden hook hanging by the bed door and hung up the bed curtain.

When her eyes fell on the young lady's face, her brows furrowed even more tightly.

Called softly.

"Miss? Miss, wake up..."

Seeing beads of sweat oozing out of Shen Ningyuan's fair forehead, her delicate little face was wrinkled tightly, as if she was in great pain.

Lan Yin felt mixed emotions.

He called a few more times, but still got no response. After thinking for a while, he turned back to the table and dipped the handkerchief in the copper basin.

He gently wiped the cold sweat off Shen Ningyuan's cheek.

While wiping, he called out softly to the young lady.

In recent years, Shen Ningyuan often had nightmares, but after being treated by a Chinese medicine expert, she has gotten much better.

But now I am trapped in the nightmare again.

Shen Ningyuan heard the gentle call and gradually woke up from the nightmare.

I slowly opened my eyes, and my eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

A physiological tear oozed from the corner of the eye.

Slide slowly down the cheek.

Lan Yin looked at the young lady's current state, feeling sad, and asked with a worried look.

"Miss, why did you have a nightmare again out of nowhere? Are you worried about that person?"

Chen Ningyuan stared blankly at the veil above her head, pursed her lips, and said nothing.

After a long while, he slightly turned his head and looked at the mottled light pouring down through the window lattice on the ground.

She told herself more than once in her heart that this was Xiyuanju where she lived.

It was not the tragic scene of blood flowing like a river at the Meridian Gate.

But even though I have been awake for such a long time, the scenes in the dream are still vivid in my mind, as if they happened yesterday.

In the nightmare, there was a strange red color everywhere, and blood was flowing and spreading to the ground.

Under the sunlight, the blood gradually dried up and turned reddish brown.

This was in my previous life, when I witnessed with my own eyes the scene of members of the Shen family being beheaded in public at the Meridian Gate.

This is also the nightmare that will haunt her throughout her life.

Unless thanks to the previous ending.

Let the Ji family be destroyed.

All those who have hurt her will go to hell without exception.

It is estimated that only at that time will Shen Ningyuan be able to truly let go of the past and look forward to the future.

In recent days, I have been under too much psychological pressure, which caused nightmares that I haven't had for a long time to reappear in my dreams.

Shen Ningyuan's thoughts gradually regained clarity, and she curled the corners of her lips weakly.

He slowly shook his head at Lan Yin, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

If she had not witnessed the demise of the Ji family, she would have been alive and well.

You must also live well.

Lan Yin clearly understood that the young lady only looked fine, but all her thoughts were hidden in her heart, with no one to tell.

But she was just Shen Ningyuan's personal maid, so even if she had a lot to say, she couldn't speak it out loud.

Lan Yin nodded and then said.

"Miss, how about sending someone to deliver the letter..."

As for who this letter was sent to, it was naturally Xie Wanzhou.

There will be no one else except him.

Shen Ningyuan wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes and shook her head indifferently.

"No need. If there is any news, he will send someone to inform you. No need to worry about it."

Then, he got up and washed and dressed.

It was just a bad nightmare.

There's no need to be so suspicious.

After making so many preparations in this life, if you still can't get what you want, it's purely fate.

Don't blame anyone.

Although he thought so in his heart, if that day really came, he would definitely drag Ji Yunchuan to be buried with him.

He won’t stay at all. Ji Yunchuan is living freely and happily in this world.

Half an hour later.

Chen Ningyuan had just finished breakfast. She put down the ivory chopsticks in her hand, picked up the warm cotton towel that Lan Yin had prepared long ago, and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.

At this moment, Yi Ge walked slowly to her and said, "Miss, Ji Yunnuo wants to see you. He said he has something important to discuss with you."

When Shen Ningyuan heard the name, her expression was slightly startled.

I reacted quickly.

With his eyes half closed, he thought carefully in his mind.

Ji Yunnuo, is there something important? Why are you here so early?

Could it be that he already knew what happened in Marquis An Ning's mansion?

A lot of thoughts came to my mind.

Shen Ningyuan's expression showed nothing unusual, and she gave the order casually.

"Arrange them to the pavilion by the lake. Some things really need to be made clear right now."

Otherwise, Ji Yunnuo would feel resentful again in the future.

If that were the case, it would not be beautiful.

The An Ning Marquis' Mansion has long been the target of public criticism, and there must be no more trouble.

If Ji Yunnuo was the one who tipped off the outside world and disclosed what happened in the mansion, then she would become the target of public criticism and reviling.

Shen Ningyuan would never allow such a thing to happen.

Any potential danger must be nipped in the bud at the first opportunity.

There will not be any hidden dangers left.

Yi Ge received the order from his master, bowed and retreated, and quickly arranged everything.

After about two quarters of an hour, Shen Ningyuan had packed up and slowly walked towards the lake.

The breeze blows on my face, willows sway in the wind, and there is a damp vapor in the air.

Chen Ningyuan had no intention of looking at the scenery at this moment, because she had too many things in her mind, which made her feel a little heavy.

He walked to the pavilion and looked at Ji Yunnuo who was sitting upright in the pavilion.

Shen Ningyuan was originally a little nervous, but the moment her eyes met his, she returned to her usual cool and elegant self.

With a calm expression, she walked up the stairs as usual, then slowly came to sit down opposite him.

The moment she sat down, Yi Ge placed the food box on the stone table and laid out the exquisite pastries inside one by one.

Lan Yin served a pot of tea.

Shen Ningyuan watched their actions silently, and when the sword handle was almost in place, she waved at them.

"Go and guard the surroundings. Don't let anyone get close."

"Yes, miss."

As they were talking, Yi Ge and Lan Yin bowed respectfully and left the pavilion.

The two of them guarded each direction, keeping watch on the surroundings and not letting anyone get close.

When the footsteps gradually faded away, Shen Ningyuan slowly raised her head and looked at Ji Yunnuo with a frank gaze.
