Chapter 304: Storm is coming

"Xiyuanju doesn't support people who are disloyal to its own people. You should take care of yourself!"

Yi Ge said this and no longer cared what Lan Yin was thinking. He strode into the house.

Lan Yin could clearly feel that her body was as if falling into an ice cave, getting colder inch by inch.

She was also well aware of the hardships the young lady had suffered in the Marquis's Mansion.

But when will the cycle of revenge end?

What the young lady has done in recent days has been a completely devastating blow to the Marquis' Mansion.

Even Chen and Ji Yunchuan have been punished, isn't that enough?

Yi Ge walked around the screen and saw the girl sitting on the beauty couch at a glance.

He paused slightly and sighed softly in his heart.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart, Lan Yin is so confused!

How could you say those words and hurt the young lady's feelings?

Shen Ningyuan looked at the person in front of her who was silent for a long time, raised her eyebrows slightly, and asked.

"If you're here to plead for Lan Yin, then don't say anything."

She can't tolerate people who are disloyal, let alone people who have ulterior motives.

Lan Yin has been with her for such a long time, so naturally, she remembers vividly what she had experienced.

But now, to be able to say such heart-wrenching words is really disheartening.

Shen Ningyuan didn't lose her temper on the spot, which was already a favor to her.

If it were someone else, how could Lan Yin stay in Xiyuanju?

He had already been kicked out.

Yi Ge was also well aware of this.

He lowered his brows slightly and sighed countless times in his heart.

Lan Yin is confused!

But as good sisters for many years, I still have to plead for mercy.

"Miss, please don't be angry. There's no need to worry about such a thing. Lan Yin is just obsessed for a while. She will figure it out after some time."

Shen Ningyuan smiled with curved lips, but the smile was a little cold.

"Forget it, let's not talk about her. Remember to keep an eye on his movements at all times and report any unusual behavior in a timely manner."

They both knew who he was referring to.

Yi Ge nodded in agreement.

"This matter has been arranged properly. Once there is any news, it will be reported immediately."

Shen Ningyuan waved her hand, indicating that she was going out.

Want some quiet time.

I tossed and turned last night and finally fell into a deep sleep at dawn. At this moment, I had a splitting headache.

Yi Ge bowed and walked out.

Shen Ningyuan sat back on the beauty couch, thinking about things, and soon fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I was awakened by the dazzling heat of the sun.

He raised his hand and placed it in front of his forehead to block the scorching light.

After a long while, my brain finally regained its clarity.

We had a simple lunch and had no other plans in the afternoon, so we went to the lakeside to enjoy the scenery.

Soon it was nightfall.

Shen Ningyuan held a book in her hand and sat by the candlelight, reading quietly.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of pages.

There was a sound of footsteps.

"Miss, there is news from Ji Yunchuan."

Chen Ningyuan put down the book in his hand, raised his ink-black eyes, and stared straight at Yi Ge.

"What is it?"

Yi Ge took a step forward and whispered something in his ear.

After Shen Ningyuan heard this, her eyebrows couldn't help but frowned.

"It's worth it that I stabbed him. It seems that Xie Yumin's people contacted him. What did the two of them conspire? Did you find out?"

Yi Ge shook his head. "The black-clad man who sneaked into the house was very skilled in martial arts. The people who were secretly monitoring him were afraid of being discovered, so they stayed a little far away and didn't hear what they were talking about."

Shen Ningyuan was not surprised by this.

Ji Yunchuan is a fool, but Xie Yumin is not.

How could he be a fool if he could climb from an unpopular prince to where he is today?

Shen Ningyuan thought about it for a long time, and then said, "I know about this matter. Tell the people who are monitoring to not let down their guard."

Yi Ge naturally had no objection to this.

After thinking about it, he decided to express his guess.

"Miss, the way you treated him today, I guess he will be very angry and will probably be ready to take action in the next two days."

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled and nodded.

"I know that."

The reason I stabbed him today was to make him speed up.

Otherwise, he would have been treated the same way as Chen.

First he gave up, and then he was tortured.

Now that I think about it, I just stabbed him, it was really easy for him.

Fortunately, Ji Yunchuan didn't know what she was thinking.

If I knew, I would probably be so angry that I would die.

There is no need for Shen Ningyuan to take action.

For the next two days, the mansion was peaceful and quiet, with no mysterious people coming in or out.

Chen Ningyuan stood in front of the window, looking at the colorful falling leaves, with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Yi Ge, look at the sky. It's covered with dark clouds in the blink of an eye. It looks like a storm is coming. It won't be long before the heavy rain starts pouring down."

Hearing this, Yi Ge was stunned.

For a moment I didn't understand. Did the young lady mean that the weather in the mansion was going to change, or was she simply saying that the weather was unpredictable?

Or maybe both.

Yi Ge smiled and replied, "Isn't it? It's already autumn, and the weather is so changeable, it's really unpredictable."

The smile on Shen Ningyuan's face became more and more obvious, and she looked at her with admiration in her eyes, "Yes! It is indeed hard to figure out."

As the two were talking, several bolts of lightning struck from the thick clouds, and the thunder was deafening.

Immediately afterwards, raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound.

There was a storm outside, and raindrops hit the window frames. In just a blink of an eye, a small area of Shen Ningyuan's clothes was wet by the rain.

But she still stood there, motionless.

His eyes were fixed on the rain outside.

Yi Ge was temporarily slow, but he also realized something was wrong.

His brows were tightly knitted, as if he had tied a deep knot that could not be untied.

After thinking it over again and again, he called out softly.

"Miss, the autumn rain is cold and you are weak, so you'd better not stand here in the wind and rain."

Shen Ningyuan retracted her gaze and closed the window with a snap, and the light in the room dimmed instantly.

Yi Ge was a very discerning man. The moment the window was closed, the candle was lit.

Thinking about the past few days when Lan Yin secretly cried at night, Yi Ge felt a little bit reluctant.

He looked at Shen Ningyuan hesitantly, wanting to plead for mercy.

But I still felt hesitant.

Shen Ningyuan naturally saw her gaze and knew clearly what she was thinking.

"Just do your job well, and don't interfere in other matters that are not your business."

Just one sentence instantly dispelled my previous thoughts.

Yi Ge lowered her head and replied docilely, "I know."

"Add more people to patrol secretly. The weather is very good today, which is suitable for doing some dirty things."

Yi Ge was shocked, raised his head suddenly, looked at her in disbelief, and murmured, "Miss, what are you talking about?"
