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 91: Confess the Truth
After saying this, Ji Yunchuan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Cui Mingzhu's arm tightly.
Cui Mingzhu gasped in pain and said in a deep voice, "Ji Yunchuan, be gentle, it hurts!"
Seeing Cui Mingzhu frowning and looking painful, Ji Yunchuan realized that he had been too extreme.
He quickly let go of Cui Mingzhu's arm and asked with concern: "Zhu'er, are you okay? I'm sorry, I was too strong, did I hurt you?"
As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan began to nervously examine Cui Mingzhu's arm.
"Brother Chuan, I'm fine, just let me go."
"It's all my fault. I was too nervous just now." Ji Yunchuan said angrily, "The situation is chaotic now. As long as there is a little disturbance, I will panic."
"It's okay, Brother Yunchuan, I understand your difficulties." Cui Mingzhu said very considerately.
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Zhu'er, tell me in detail what happened last night."
Seeing Ji Yunchuan looking nervous, Cui Mingzhu also started to get nervous.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's like this. Last night, when Brother Yunchuan entered the Marquis' Mansion, I fainted. When Chen Ningyuan and her maid were returning home, they saw me fainted outside the Marquis' Mansion, so they took me to her villa and called a doctor for me."
"So, it was really Shen Ningyuan who saved you?"
Ji Yunchuan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt on his face.
Cui Mingzhu nodded in agreement with Ji Yunchuan's words, "Yes, she saved me."
"Has she been with you in the villa all the time?" Ji Yunchuan asked again.
Cui Mingzhu was silent and lowered his head to think for a moment.
Thinking that she had just opened her eyes, Shen Ningyuan came in immediately.
Maybe, he also guarded her all night?
Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu nodded seriously, "She should be in the other courtyard too. As soon as I opened my eyes, she came in to see me."
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan stopped talking.
If this is the case, then the person who appeared in the ancestral hall last night was definitely not Shen Ningyuan.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Ningyuan is the key figure in his plan. Apart from dying obediently, nothing can happen to her!
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Ji Yunchuan thought of something and looked at Cui Mingzhu nervously again.
He hurriedly asked, "You just said that Chen Ningyuan hired a doctor for you and stayed with you all night. Doesn't that mean that Chen Ningyuan already knew about your pregnancy?"
Cui Mingzhu nodded and said without hesitation: "Yes, she knows."
Seeing Ji Yunchuan's face darken, Cui Mingzhu hurriedly explained: "But Brother Yunchuan, don't worry, Shen Ningyuan doesn't know that the child is yours. I lied to her and said that I fell in love with a poor scholar. I was afraid that my aunt and uncle would not agree, so I concealed the matter of the child."
"She believed it?" Ji Yunchuan asked softly, his brows relaxed a little.
Cui Mingzhu nodded, "Yes, she believed it."
Cui Mingzhu explained: "I guess she remembered the time when she fought with her aunt and uncle a year ago and insisted on marrying you, so she softened her heart and promised me that she would never tell my aunt about my pregnancy."
When Ji Yunchuan heard the word "marry down", his eyes flashed and he was obviously unhappy.
But he returned to normal the next second, looked at Cui Mingzhu approvingly, and said, "I didn't expect that Zhu'er is quite smart. She knew that Shen Ningyuan was stupid, dumb, and in love, so she came up with such an excuse to evade her."
Ji Yunchuan added: “In this way, Shen Ningyuan will never think that the child in your belly is mine.”
Hearing this, Cui Mingzhu became even more excited.
She continued, "Not only that, she also promised me to live in her villa under the pretext of accompanying her to relieve her boredom. This way, I can stay in the villa to take care of my pregnancy, and after the child is born, I will let Shen Ningyuan take the child to the Marquis' Mansion and raise him under her lap as the Marquis' legitimate son."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunchuan frowned.
He asked in disbelief: “Did Chen Ningyuan agree?”
"Yes, she agreed." Cui Mingzhu nodded vigorously.
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan had no doubt at all and just snorted contemptuously.
He said with contempt: "This bitch is really stupid! She was fooled by us a year ago, and she is still so stupid a year later, willing to pave the way for us."
"Yes, in this way, our child can be raised in the Marquis' Mansion legitimately."
Cui Mingzhu looked at Ji Yunchuan excitedly and asked, "Brother Chuan, in this case, you don't have to force me to have an abortion!"
Cui Mingzhu pouted in grievance, "You know, if I force an abortion, I might die."
Ji Yunchuan didn't say anything, and seemed to be really thinking about what Cui Mingzhu said.
After a moment, Ji Yunchuan seemed to have figured it out.
He nodded, "Since you have made it clear to Shen Ningyuan, then do as you said. You will stay in Shen Ningyuan's villa to take care of the baby first. After the child is born, you will be adopted by Shen Ningyuan and become the legitimate heir of the Marquis' Mansion."
"But..." Ji Yunchuan thought of something and asked again: "Will Shen Ningyuan agree to the adoption of a child?"
Ji Yunchuan thought that if Shen Ningyuan agreed to adopt the child, he could consider letting her live longer.
"Why didn't she agree?" Cui Mingzhu said as a matter of course: "She has no children, and has no basis for living in the Marquis's Mansion. If the Marquis's Mansion is willing to let her adopt a child, she will definitely agree with gratitude!"
"That's true. Shen Ningyuan's melon seed-sized brain can only think of these."
Ji Yunchuan snorted coldly, "It's just that I'm afraid the general's mansion will have objections."
“They are daughter slaves. As long as Shen Ningyuan is willing, they won’t say anything.”
Cui Mingzhu suddenly thought of something while talking. She stared at Ji Yunchuan suspiciously and asked, "Ji Yunchuan, you ask this and that. Are you asking this because you don't want our child to be the heir of the Marquis' Mansion?"
Cui Mingzhu thought more and more outrageous, and suddenly asked excitedly: "Or did you already have other women when you were in the frontier?"
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan's eyelids twitched, but soon returned to normal.
He quickly coaxed her, "What are you talking about? You are the only one in my heart. I remained pure for you a year ago, leaving Chen Ningyuan alone in an empty room, living a widow for a year. I love you so much, how could I fall in love with other women?"
Seeing Ji Yunchuan's serious attitude, Cui Mingzhu stopped pursuing the matter and snorted coldly, "Okay, then I'll believe you this time!"
Ji Yunhuan nodded quickly, "Of course it's true, I won't lie to you!"
Pregnant women are easy to get angry, but also easy to coax.
Ji Yunchuan coaxed Cui Mingzhu into submission with just a few words.
Cui Mingzhu snuggled in Ji Yunchuan's arms, with a happy smile in her eyes and brows.
Ji Yunchuan's hand was originally on Cui Mingzhu's back.
But as they held each other, his hand unexpectedly slid down dishonestly and pinched Cui Mingzhu's buttocks.
"Oh, Brother Chuan, I'm still pregnant!" Cui Mingzhu said coquettishly.
But one could tell that in her charming voice there was a hint of emotion, like a long-awaited blessing.
"I asked the doctor, it's been three months, it's okay." Ji Yunchuan swallowed.
"Really?" Cui Mingzhu still didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true, how could I lie to you?" Ji Yunchuan said hoarsely, "Zhu'er, just listen to me, I've been thinking about it for a long time!"
Having said that, Ji Yunchuan picked up Cui Mingzhu regardless and gently threw her onto the bed.
Soon, the two of them huddled in the quilt, creating a huge wave.
…
"Pooh!"
"Bastards!"
"Pooh!"
"You are so shameless to be so promiscuous in broad daylight!"
"Pooh!"
"Looking at it any longer pollutes my eyes!"
In the private room of Zuixiang Pavilion, Lan Yin put down the telescope and spat every time someone cursed.
After cursing, Lan Yin was still not satisfied and chopped her feet twice.
"Bah, bah, bah, you sons of bitches, go to hell, go to the eighteenth level of hell, and roll around in the frying pan of hell!"
