Chapter 311: Commander of the Imperial Guard

Just as she was about to speak, screams broke out outside.

Shen Ningyuan's face was as cold as frost, and her eyes were fixed on Ji Yunnuo.

"I don't care what your purpose is in saying this today. Since you wrote to me before, I will forgive you for what you did."

Speaking of this, Shen Ningyuan seemed to have suddenly been drained of all his strength.

The body is a little shaky.

She waved at him feebly.

"Just go!"

Ji Yunnuo stood there in a daze.

Obviously he didn't expect that after he mustered up so much courage to seek a result, he would be ruthlessly rejected.

As the two of them confronted each other silently.

Outside the flower hall, a burly man in armor came quickly.

The big man looked at the guards and Yi Ge standing at the door, glared at them with his tiger eyes, and shouted harshly.

“Get out of the way!”

Yi Ge and the guards looked at each other, and finally retreated to the side obediently.

Because I already knew before, what is the purpose of this commander of the Royal Guards coming here?

At this critical juncture, we naturally cannot allow any unnecessary complications to arise.

Shen Ningyuan's purpose has always been very clear.

It was when the An Ning Marquis' Mansion was destroyed that she divorced and returned home.

Naturally, one does not want to cause any more trouble.

The commander of the Royal Guards finally looked somewhat satisfied after seeing the people blocking their way withdraw.

He kicked open the door of the flower hall and walked in aggressively.

Seeing the two people confronting each other inside, the commander of the Royal Guards glanced back and forth between them.

Finally it stopped on Shen Ningyuan.

“Are you Shen Ningyuan?”

Faced with such a question, Shen Ningyuan naturally could not pretend to be dead. He took a step forward and bowed to him.

"This subject is Shen Ningyuan."

Claiming that everything has changed.

The attitude is very clear.

The commander of the Imperial Guard was Xie Wanzhou's man, so naturally he wouldn't make things difficult for her.

Seeing this, he nodded indifferently.

"This commander has great respect for the great general who guards the country. I believe that a good father will have a good daughter. Today, I received a secret letter that the An Ning Marquis's mansion is plotting treason. We have found evidence of treason in the study room in the front yard."

There is no need to say the rest, everyone knows it.

Ji Yunnuo already knew that he would encounter such a situation.

But hearing it with my own ears, my heart still ached.

Logically speaking, he had long wanted to escape from the An Ning Marquis Mansion, the cage that imprisoned him, but this was also the place where he had lived for more than twenty years.

The emotions are even more complicated.

However, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.

There is absolutely no room for regret.

Ji Yunnuo staggered, took a step back, and in panic he managed to stand firm by holding onto the wall.

Shen Ningyuan was not as out of control as Ji Yunnuo, but she was also shocked when she heard the news suddenly.

He swallowed hard, trying to stay calm.

"Thank you for telling me, sir. What the An Ning Marquisate did has nothing to do with me as a woman in the backyard. Besides, Ji Yunchuan and I have long since severed our relationship and no longer have any marital relationship. I hope to be able to divorce him and return home."

The commander of the Royal Guards had already received the order and naturally would not make things too difficult for her.

After hearing this, he agreed very readily.

"This matter still needs to be investigated. If you did not participate in the treason, the emperor will certainly show you extra mercy and allow you to return home peacefully."

This is equivalent to making a promise.

Shen Ningyuan's hanging heart finally settled down at this moment.

He bowed solemnly to him.

"Thank you for your understanding, Commander. I am very grateful! If he can use me in any way, I will definitely report it to him."

The commander of the Royal Guards nodded indifferently, neither saying yes nor no.

Then he shifted his gaze to Ji Yunnuo.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of murderous intent in them.

The aura on his body suddenly changed.

The pressure is very heavy.

It feels like it's suffocating.

Ji Yunnuo pinched his palm with his fingertips, and the pain kept his brain rational and clear.

He bowed to him and spoke to him with great respect.

"Commander, I am Ji Yunnuo. I have already expelled myself from the Ji family many days ago and am no longer a member of the Ji family. Regarding the title of Marquis An Ning, I have also written a memorial on the dragon desk of Your Majesty..."

The rest of the words were not said.

But the meaning expressed is very clear.

It's nothing more than stating one's position.

Everything in the An Ning Marquis' Mansion does not belong to him.

He wasn't involved in any of it either.

Naturally, they will not bear the responsibility.

The commander of the Royal Guards did not agree immediately, but spoke ambiguously.

"The emperor will make the final decision on this matter. How can we decide it?"

Ji Yunnuo's face turned pale and his legs went weak.

Seeing him like this, Shen Ningyuan just glanced at him lightly and didn't say much.

Everyone has his or her own predetermined destiny.

How to do it and how to choose is your own business.

It is impossible for her to take responsibility for someone else's life.

Shen Ningyuan glanced at the commander of the Imperial Guard and saw him nod slightly.

I understood what he meant instantly.

Shen Ningyuan smiled at him gratefully, "Your Excellency should have other official business to attend to, so I won't bother you any more. I'll take my leave first."

The commander of the Royal Guards waved his hand at her, indicating that she could do as she pleased.

After Shen Ningyuan got the permission, he subconsciously glanced at Ji Yunnuo.

He still looked frightened.

An inexplicable emotion arose in my heart.

But I didn't meddle in other people's business.

I have helped in every way I could before.

As for what to do next, Ji Yunnuo can only rely on himself.

Shen Ningyuan quietly left the flower hall.

After coming out of the flower hall, he saw Yi Ge pacing anxiously and called out to him softly.

"Pigeon."

Hearing the sound, Yi Ge turned around suddenly and saw the young lady appear in front of him safely. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, the mansion is in a mess. Let's hurry back to the courtyard to avoid being bumped into!"

Shen Ningyuan frowned, looking at the mansion that used to be well-organized, but now it was in chaos, with countless servants carrying gold and silver and valuables, scrambling to escape.

But they were herded together by the guards and were not allowed to move around freely.

Fortunately, the Imperial Guards had strict military discipline and no one was killed.

Shen Ningyuan knew clearly that this must have been a special order from Xie Wanzhou.

Otherwise, how could the Imperial Guards act so honestly and uprightly in the face of such a heinous crime as confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan?

He just took a glance and then looked away.

It is enough as long as we can avoid harming anyone's life.

It is estimated that the slaves in this mansion will be sold to human traffickers in the future and then sold as slaves elsewhere.

But at least, there is no danger to one's life.

It's a good thing.

There is no need to commit murder.

Shen Ningyuan nodded gently and said with deep emotion.

"Yesterday's prosperity is gone. That's all! It has nothing to do with us now! Let's go back first!"

Yi Ge nodded in agreement.

He and a group of guards escorted her to the courtyard next to Xiyuanju.
