Chapter 314: House Arrest

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.

Now, the most important thing is to calm down.

Shen Ningyuan kept reminding herself in her heart.

After a while, he exhaled heavily from his chest.

"How many of our people are still in the mansion?"

The guard answered without any hesitation.

"Including my subordinates, there are six of us in total. The rest have gone out to gather information and have not returned yet."

Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's eyes went dark and black.

I never expected that there were only a few possible people left around me.

Even if I wanted to do something, it would be absolutely impossible.

Now, we can only preserve our strength.

Shen Ningyuan quickly thought of a countermeasure.

Respond to ever-changing situations with constancy.

We can't disperse people anymore.

It's been so long since the incident happened, so what else is there that Shen Ningyuan doesn't understand?

Whether it is Yi Ge or the situation on Xie Wanzhou's side.

Someone definitely did this on purpose.

Deliberately delaying them.

But who did this?

A person suddenly appeared in Shen Ningyuan's mind.

Thanks Yumin.

It must be him.

Don't think about anyone else except him.

Ji Yunchuan hasn't sent back any news yet, so it's impossible for Xie Yuming to do nothing.

And he definitely has people in Marquis An Ning’s Mansion.

But that person hid it very deeply.

Shen Ningyuan just didn't find it.

Just as she figured this out, Shen Ningyuan became more and more flustered.

But the more time passed, the calmer she became.

Especially figure out all the key points.

It seems that Xie Yumin wants to put her under house arrest in the mansion.

But what is his purpose in doing this?

Is it just house arrest?

No, absolutely not!

There was no way Xie Yumin would go to so much trouble to do such a simple thing.

There must be a bigger conspiracy.

Are you going to send someone to assassinate her?

But this doesn't make sense.

There were layers of imperial guards surrounding the Marquis's mansion. If Xie Yuming dared to take action at this time, he must have been extremely bold.

People leave traces when they pass by; wild geese leave sounds when they pass by.

It is impossible for him to eliminate all the clues.

What's more, the Royal Guards have already been dispatched, which means that they have already made their mark with the Emperor.

Xie Yumin dared to take action at this time. He must be an old man who wants to hang himself because he is tired of living.

Shen Ningyuan's mind was in a mess.

He always felt that there was something he had overlooked, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't grasp that faint inspiration.

In the blink of an eye, Shen Ningyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the guards.

"Go and see what Ji Yunnuo is doing now?"

If all this was really done by Xie Yumin, he would definitely not be able to handle it alone based on his ability.

There must be helpers in this mansion.

And there would be no other best candidate except Ji Yunnuo.

And they had just had a falling out this morning.

Even if Ji Yunnuo turns around to deal with her, it is not impossible.

Otherwise, how could all these things happen so coincidentally.

Shen Ningyuan never believed in any coincidences.

All coincidences are intentional by someone.

The guard came back soon with a very grim look on his face.

"Miss, Ji Yunnuo is not in his courtyard. I specifically asked the guards and he has not left the mansion."

Shen Ningyuan's head exploded with a bang, and her brain was buzzing.

The body is crumbling.

He fell directly into the chair.

There is no need to think about it, Ji Yunnuo must have played a certain role in this.

After what happened today, the guards realized the seriousness of the matter.

After some hesitation, he finally asked what was on his mind.

"Miss, what should we do next? Are we just going to sit there and wait for death?"

But if we don't just sit there and wait for death, do we have to break out directly?

Once you come face to face with the Royal Guards, all your arguments will become unreasonable.

Maybe they are also to blame for what happened this time.

There is absolutely no way to escape this.

No, that certainly can't be done.

Shen Ningyuan refused directly.

He shook his head solemnly, looked at the guard with a cold gaze, and gave orders in a cold voice.

"Don't do anything. Now we only have one option, which is to wait."

Before Ji Yunchuan did these things, Shen Ningyuan had already thought of all the consequences.

Naturally, I had anticipated that if I could not successfully divorce and return home, I would have to get out of this matter.

Let's see what choice Daddy will make when the time comes.

If you want to save her, you'll probably have to hand over the military power in your father's hands.

There is no other possibility except this method.

Shen Ningyuan felt a chill in her heart and clenched her hands into fists.

The veins on his forehead kept throbbing.

He pressed his forehead and spoke after a long time.

"Go down first and be alert around you. There might be another fierce battle tonight."

Of course, this is the worst-case scenario.

Or maybe she was overthinking it.

The guards took orders and withdrew.

As Shen Ningyuan was leaning back on the couch and drowsy, she suddenly heard a familiar bird song coming from outside the window.

With a start, he woke up instantly.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the window.

Just then I saw a dark shadow coming in.

The candlelight in the room went out at some point.

The room was pitch black.

Shen Ningyuan blinked for a while before she adjusted to the darkness.

She could clearly feel that the dark shadow that rushed in had no intention of killing her.

At this moment, Shen Ningyuan's mind was full of thoughts.

He called out tentatively.

"Xie Wanzhou, is that you?"

Soon, there was a response from the darkness, "Yeah."

Just one word instantly calmed her anxious mood.

At this time, Shen Ningyuan had also adapted to the darkness.

He moved gently towards the shadow.

There was a barely perceptible hint of crying in his voice.

"You, why did you come just now?"

Xie Wanzhou was keenly aware of the fear and terror in her voice.

There was a tingling pain in my heart.

It was like countless embroidery needles constantly piercing my heart.

The pain was constant.

In the darkness, Xie Wanzhou reached out and held the girl in front of him tightly in his arms.

He buried his head in her neck and spoke in a muffled voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'm coming."

Just two short words made the grievances and resentment in her heart seem to have found an outlet and burst out.

Tears flowed silently.

It passed across his cheek, disappeared into his neck, and dripped onto Xie Wanzhou's cheek.

Xie Wanzhou raised his head and kept a slight distance between them.

He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and comforted her softly.

"There was a small problem, it's okay, it's been resolved. You can leave the mansion tomorrow."

Shen Ningyuan's heart was filled with complicated emotions.

In the darkness, she stared at him blankly.

For a moment, I was speechless and didn't know what to say.
