Chapter 78: The couple caused a dispute

After being shocked, Lan Yin's first reaction was to suspect that she had seen it wrong.

But soon, she picked up the telescope again and looked back to the place she was just at.

This time, Lan Yin saw it clearly.

In that remote house, the two people standing by the window hugging each other were Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu!

Lan Yin swallowed, her hands holding the telescope trembling slightly, and she kept muttering, "How could it be? How could it be my uncle and my cousin?"

"Son-in-law is dead, isn't he? My cousin should stay in the general's mansion. How come they are together and hugging each other so intimately at this late hour?"

Lan Yin looked at Shen Ningyuan, her eyes full of shock, "Miss, what is going on?"

"This is the truth I brought you here to let you see."

Shen Ningyuan tried her best to keep calm.

Just now, when she saw Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu, the couple hugging each other through the telescope, her heart beat faster.

Every time I see this kind of scene, the hatred in my heart accumulates and my emotions fluctuate accordingly.

When Lan Yin was looking through the telescope, she took several deep breaths before she calmed herself down.

After hearing what Shen Ningyuan said, Lan Yin trembled and put down the telescope, and said: "So Miss, the uncle is faking his death, then... isn't this the crime of deceiving the emperor? If His Majesty knew about this, then the uncle would..."

Before Lan Yin finished speaking, Shen Ningyuan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is deceiving the emperor. If you expose it, it will be a capital crime!"

"Oh my God! What on earth does my uncle want to do?"

For a moment, Lan Yin still couldn't accept the truth before her.

"Obviously, it was the son-in-law who pursued the young lady first. He wrote three letters of engagement and sincerely wanted to marry the young lady. How come within a year of marriage, he risked the crime of deceiving the emperor and faked his death to get together with the young lady?"

Lan Yin kept muttering.

No one believed what he said, Ji Yunchuan really faked his death.

Shen Ningyuan sneered and asked calmly, "What if what he was plotting was the dowry I brought to the Marquis' Mansion?"

"What?" Lan Yin was even more shocked. "The son-in-law and the Marquis's Mansion want the young lady's dowry?"

"right."

Shen Ningyuan nodded, and then explained to Lan Yin about Ji Yunhuan's poisoning at the funeral, the venomous snake in the ancestral hall tonight, and Ji Yunhuan's drowning.

Of course, she concealed the truth about her rebirth.

After hearing this, Lan Yin fell directly into the chair, looking like she had lost her soul.

She continued to murmur, "The Ji family... the son-in-law... they want not only the young lady's dowry, but also her life. How can they be... so vicious?"

After being stunned for a moment, Lan Yin stood up and rushed to Shen Ningyuan.

She shouted anxiously, "Miss! You clearly know that the Ji family is a den of wolves, so why did you return to the Ji family? Just tell the general and his wife, and they will take you away from the Marquis' Mansion even if it means risking their lives!"

"It's not that simple." Shen Ningyuan shook her head. "Ji Yunchuan and I were married by His Majesty. As long as the Ji family hasn't made a big mistake, the Shen family would be bullying if they force a divorce. Now that the Shen family holds military power, His Majesty is already wary of them. If they cause trouble like this again and lose the support of the people, the Shen family's situation will only become more difficult."

After rebirth, Shen Ningyuan thought everything through.

So she could only return to the Marquis' Mansion, force out Ji Yunchuan, who had faked his death and was hiding in the dark, and find evidence of the Marquis' Mansion's crimes, so that she could leave the Ji family with her dowry with a clear conscience.

Compared to Shen Ningyuan's calmness, Lan Yin was still very pessimistic, with a look of sorrow on her face.

The next second, she lay directly on Shen Ningyuan's legs and cried softly: "My poor lady, how could I marry such a black-hearted family!"

"If the Madam and the General knew their plan and the young lady's current situation, they would be so distressed!"

Lan Yin knew Shen Ningyuan very well. If she had no chance of winning, she would never let Shen Potian and Cui Jin know about the Ji family's conspiracy.

So, she could only bear it all by herself.

Thinking of this, Lan Yin choked with sobs.

"God should really open his eyes and send down thunder to strike this black-hearted family to death. Oh, my poor young lady!"

"Okay, there's nothing to cry about." Chen Ningyuan stretched out her hand and pressed Lan Yin's shoulder. "I'm sure you've guessed it. Ji Yunhuan's death tonight was not an accident. I drowned her in the lake with my own hands. In the future, there will be more Ji family members who die in my hands."

Lan Yin raised her head from Shen Ningyuan's legs and held her hand tightly.

"Miss..." Lan Yin's defense broke down as soon as she called out "Miss".

She cried and wailed, "Miss, your hands are for playing the piano and holding the pen. In the past, you were reluctant to even crush an ant to death, but now you want to use these hands to kill people. I am really heartbroken to see you become like this..."

Seeing that Lan Yin's crying was getting louder and louder, Shen Ningyuan was afraid of attracting the attention of someone with ulterior motives, so he quickly reached out and covered Lan Yin's mouth.

He raised his eyebrows and said helplessly: "I told you not to cry. I let you know this not to see you cry."

With her mouth covered, Lan Yin slowly stopped crying, but she still couldn't help sobbing a few times.

Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan let go of her hand, looked at Lan Yin's red and swollen eyes, and said earnestly: "You don't have to worry too much. Since I dare to return to the Ji family, I naturally have my own plans."

"Besides, I'm not alone, am I?"

Chen Ningyuan once again pressed Lan Yin's shoulders and said in a deep voice, "You are calm and collected, so you can help me keep an eye on the Marquis' Mansion; Yi Ge is highly skilled in martial arts, so she can protect me at any time; Lu Ying is simple but kind-hearted, and she is also smart and agile. If we encounter an emergency in the future, she will be able to handle it on her own."

"And my parents, my elder brother and my second brother, they all support me behind the scenes."

"Your young lady has so many people behind her. How can you say she is fighting alone?"

After hearing this, Lan Yin was silent for a long time, then she wiped away her tears and nodded heavily, "Miss, you are right. We will always be with you. The general, his wife, and the two young masters will also support you from behind. It's just a small marquis' mansion. There is nothing to be afraid of!"

"Um."

Shen Ningyuan nodded and reached out to help Lan Yin up.

His tone became lighter. "So you should get up quickly. Kneeling for too long will hurt your knees."

Looking at the teasing in Shen Ningyuan's eyes, Lan Yin felt a little embarrassed.

She rubbed her knees and said angrily, "Miss, you are such a fool. Why didn't you help me up earlier?"

"I see you are kneeling very seriously, and I don't have the heart to disturb your interest." Shen Ningyuan responded seriously.

Lan Yin: “…”

After a moment of silence, Lan Yin rolled her eyes at Shen Ningyuan.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Lan Yin picked up the telescope and looked at Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu again.

After watching for a while, Lan Yin frowned and said, "Miss, those two dogs and bitches seem to be quarreling."

"A quarrel broke out?"

Shen Ningyuan was stunned, and hurried over, took the telescope from Lan Yin's hand, and pointed it at the house where Ji Yunchuan was hiding.

Through the telescope, Ji Yunchuan suddenly pushed Cui Mingzhu heavily against the wall.

He held Cui Mingzhu's shoulders with both hands, shook her body continuously, and roared with a hideous and distorted face.

Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan tightened his grip on the telescope.

What are this couple arguing about so late at night?

Could it be that...

Is it related to her?

Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan put down the telescope, and a smile of determination appeared on the corner of his lips.

It doesn’t matter, she doesn’t care whether it has anything to do with her or not.

Anyway, she had already planned it out.

On the day of the funeral, she will give Ji Yunhuan and Cui Mingzhu, the couple, a gift that they will never forget!
