In her previous life, Shen Ningyuan was deeply devoted to her husband. Not only did she willingly live as a widow for him, but she also used her dowry to support his family.
However, in retur...
Chapter 79: Your sister committed suicide by jumping into the lake
Shen Ningyuan took the telescope and walked towards the bookshelf beside her.
After putting the telescope back to its original position, he turned and walked out of the private room.
Lan Yin hurriedly followed and asked in confusion: "Miss, are we leaving now? Why don't we stay for a while longer?"
Shen Ningyuan didn't even turn around, walked straight down the stairs, and said softly: "There's nothing to see, and I can't hear what they are saying."
"Why don't we go over now and listen to what this couple is arguing about?" Lan Yin suggested again.
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan stopped and turned to look at Lan Yin.
Seeing the gossip fire burning in her eyes, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but twitch her eyes, then looked away and turned back.
He said calmly: "If we go over now, we will inevitably alert the enemy. Besides, by the time we get over there, they will have finished arguing and we won't be able to hear any useful information."
Lan Yin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "That's true."
As Shen Ningyuan went downstairs, she comforted Lan Yin and said, “But it doesn’t matter. If we go back to the Marquis’ Mansion at this time, there will be something good to watch.”
Lan Yin's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Yeah." Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Yin instantly became energetic.
Pushing Shen Ningyuan down the stairs from behind, he urged as he pushed: “Then let’s go back quickly, otherwise it will be too late and we won’t be able to see anything!”
Being pushed by Lan Yin, Shen Ningyuan felt helpless, but could only speed up the pace of going down the stairs.
…
At this time, in the house where Ji Yunchuan was hiding.
Cui Mingzhu was pressed against the wall, and a large hand with distinct joints was pinching her neck hard.
Looking at Ji Yunchuan's ferocious face so close to her, Cui Mingzhu's heart beat faster with fear.
The originally bright and pretty face turned pale because of panic.
Seeing that Ji Yunchuan really wanted to kill her, Cui Mingzhu suddenly grabbed his hand and bit it on the tiger's mouth.
"ah!"
Ji Yunchuan was bitten and felt pain, so he couldn't help but let out a scream.
He pulled his bitten hand away with force and slapped Cui Mingzhu in the face.
Bang!
The crisp sound of the slap was particularly abrupt in the silent and deserted night.
Ji Yunchuan held his right hand that was bitten and bleeding, and glared at Cui Mingzhu fiercely, "Bitch, you dare to bite me!"
Cui Mingzhu covered her beaten face, looked at Ji Yunchuan unwillingly with red eyes, and asked in a lost voice: "Ji, Ji Yunchuan, are you really going to force me to abort the child and continue to stay in the general's mansion?"
Ji Yunchuan remained silent, and Cui Mingzhu continued to accuse him, "But you promised me a few days ago that you would find a chance to take me back to the Marquis' Mansion and let your mother take care of me."
"If I had a choice, would I force you to abort the child?" Facing Cui Mingzhu's accusation, Ji Yunchuan couldn't help but yell, "How could I know that Shen Ningyuan would be so lucky? Damn, she's like a gift to the King of Hell. No matter how hard you try, she can't be killed!"
Ji Yunchuan's eyes were bloodshot, and for the first time since he faked his death he lost control and swore, his saliva spraying all over Cui Mingzhu's face.
Seeing that Ji Yunchuan was really angry, Cui Mingzhu swallowed nervously.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Ji Yunchuan continued to yell and accuse: "Also, do you know what people outside have been saying about me since Chen Ningyuan was brought back to the Marquis' Mansion? They all said that I was inhumane, so I left Chen Ningyuan alone in the empty room on the wedding night!"
"And all this is because of you!"
Ji Yunchuan pointed at Cui Mingzhu's nose, "You are petty, you are jealous that I married Chen Ningyuan, you cried and made a fuss to force me to stay pure for you, not letting me touch Chen Ningyuan, so that she still remains a virgin until now, giving her the opportunity to refute the rumors and restore her innocence, and also making me and the Marquis's Mansion a joke in the capital!"
"Cui Mingzhu, this is all your fault!" Ji Yunchuan's voice became louder and louder. "I have paid so much to meet your demands. Have I ever complained? Now I ask you to abort the child, stay in the general's mansion and keep an eye on the Shen family's every move, and help me find the account book hidden by your aunt. Am I wronging you so much?"
As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan seemed to have lost control and shook Cui Mingzhu's shoulders vigorously.
He yelled hoarsely, "Have you been wronged? Tell me, where have you been wronged? Huh?"
This series of accusations completely stunned Cui Mingzhu.
Realizing that Ji Yunchuan was really angry, Cui Mingzhu reached out her hand tremblingly and pulled Ji Yunchuan's sleeve.
Then he softened his tone and begged, "Yun, Yunchuan, don't be angry for now, let's think of a solution, okay? Things will turn around, and we don't have to sacrifice our child!"
Ji Yunchuan's expression froze, then he slowly calmed down.
Then his eyes slid down and fell on Cui Mingzhu's slightly bulging belly.
After a while, Ji Yunchuan said helplessly: "As long as Chen Ningyuan is alive, I can't take you to the Marquis' Mansion. When your belly gets bigger and bigger and it's too big to hide, our affair... will be exposed."
Cui Mingzhu paused, grabbed Ji Yunchuan's hand and begged, "No, no, Yunchuan, believe me, even if my belly gets bigger and bigger, even if the Shen family finds out that I'm pregnant, as long as you don't reveal that you're the father of the child, nothing will happen. Auntie loves me so much, the Shen family won't do anything to me!"
Facing Cui Mingzhu's confidence, Ji Yunchuan had a grim expression and pried open her hands one by one, saying as he did so: "I'm sorry, Zhu'er, this is a serious matter, I can't gamble."
Because the plan failed, what he had to face was that man’s tremendous wrath!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan's expression became even colder.
With thin lips, she pronounced Cui Mingzhu's fate word by word: "The child must be aborted!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Cui Mingzhu's face instantly turned pale.
After a while, her hands dropped weakly.
After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Okay, I'll listen to you and abort the baby."
Seeing Cui Mingzhu compromise, Ji Yunchuan's expression eased a little.
Just when he was about to say something to comfort her, he heard Cui Mingzhu pleading, "But Yunchuan, can you give me a few more days, so that the baby can live a few more days in my belly? I can already feel his fetal movements, so Yunchuan, give me a few more days, okay?"
Ji Yunchuan looked embarrassed about Cui Mingzhu's request.
But when he saw Cui Mingzhu's slightly red eyes, Ji Yunchuan softened his heart.
It wouldn't make any difference if you abort the baby a few days later.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan gritted his teeth and was about to nod and agree to Cui Mingzhu.
But before he could open his mouth, a man in black suddenly flipped in from the outside of the yard and landed behind the two men with a "bang".
The man in black knelt on one knee and clasped his hands together.
He shouted in a panic, "Master, something happened in the Marquis' Mansion!"
Ji Yunchuan's face tensed up, and he turned to look at the man in black, and asked hurriedly: "What could have happened in the Marquis' Mansion? Is that bitch Shen Ningyuan making trouble again?"
"No." The man in black shook his head, "It's the eldest lady..."
Before the man in black could finish his words, Ji Yunchuan interrupted him anxiously, "What happened to my sister?"
The man in black hesitated for a moment, looked up at Ji Yunchuan, and said in a deep voice, "The eldest lady... committed suicide by jumping into the lake."
"What?"
Ji Yunchuan was struck by lightning.
He could hardly stand steadily and was moving backwards step by step.
