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 96: Evidence of Chen's affair
Shen Ningyuan swallowed.
Put the telescope back on the stand aside.
Just at this moment, Lan Yin woke up slowly.
Raising her head from the table, Lan Yin covered her aching head and looked around blankly.
"Miss, what happened to me just now?" Lan Yin asked.
She just remembered that she was about to talk to Shen Ningyuan when she suddenly fell asleep.
"It's okay, we should go back." Shen Ningyuan said lightly.
"Huh? Are you going back now?" Lan Yin asked puzzledly.
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "It's getting late, we should go back."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan walked straight out of the private room.

After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, Chen Ningyuan specifically called Yi Ge and asked her to go to the pharmacy outside to buy some things.
Not long after Yi Ge left with the list, someone from the General's Mansion came to ask about Chen Ningyuan and Cui Mingzhu's plan to move out.
After hearing this, Shen Ningyuan knew that Cui Mingzhu had already started discussing with his parents about moving out of the general's mansion.
It can be seen that Cui Mingzhu is really anxious.
Chen Ningyuan told the servant of the general's mansion: "Go back and tell my parents that I'm not in a good mood these days and I really need my cousin to stay with me for a while. Please don't worry."
The servant got Shen Ningyuan's response, bowed, and left.
"Miss, do you really want your cousin to live in the other courtyard?"
After the servant left, Lan Yin asked worriedly.
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "The words have been spoken, of course she should be allowed to live."
Lan Yin frowned and said worriedly, "But I am always afraid that something might happen."
When serving Shen Ningyuan at the Shen family, Lan Yin could vaguely see that Cui Mingzhu was behind many things.
It was just that at that time, Shen Ningyuan and Cui Mingzhu had a very good relationship, so she could only remind Shen Ningyuan implicitly.
"It's okay, I've already arranged it."
Shen Ningyuan smiled coldly.
It was agreed that a big gift would be given to Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu on the day of the funeral.
She does what she says.
Hearing this, Lan Yin stopped persuading and closed her mouth silently.
After an incense stick of time, Yi Ge came back.
Handing the medicine bag in his hand to Shen Ningyuan, Yi Ge whispered: "Miss, I have bought what you want."
“Well, you arrange someone to light these incense sticks in several rooms in the villa.” Shen Ningyuan ordered.
Yi Ge nodded, didn't ask any more questions, took his things and went out again.
Shen Ningyuan has gotten used to this.
After Yi Ge left, Lan Yin asked in confusion: "Miss, what is that?"
"The wood fragrance that helps to calm the fetus and soothe the mind." Shen Ningyuan answered truthfully.
"Young lady is so kind. She even prepared some things for my cousin to take care of her pregnancy." Lan Yin said softly.
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, on the funeral day in two days, you will know what those things are useful for."
Shen Ningyuan didn't want to reveal too much about his plan.
In short, it was definitely a "big gift".
At this time, Lan Yin suddenly thought of something and said quickly: "By the way, Miss, there is something I forgot to tell you."
"What's up?"
"Didn't you ask my parents to buy a house in the capital? My parents followed the young lady's advice and have already picked out a house. They will decide on one tomorrow."
"So fast?" Shen Ningyuan was a little surprised.
Lan Yin smiled, "Father and mother said that the young lady has done a great favor to our family. It's not easy to get a chance to help the young lady. They have to hurry up and not delay the young lady's business."
Chen Ningyuan thought about it, and then said: "That's perfect, you bring more silver tomorrow and accompany your parents to decide on a house, and after it's over, you can ask your father to come to the Marquis' Mansion, I have something I need him to do."
"good."
-
The next day, Lan Yin went out early in the morning.
Not long after Lan Yin left, Chen came with her people.
As soon as she entered the door, Chen sent the servants in the yard away.
Everyone else listened to Chen and left obediently.
Only Green Warbler stood in front of Shen Ningyuan like a child protecting its own.
He looked at Chen steadily, fearing that Chen would hurt Shen Ningyuan.
When she was still in the General's Mansion, she swore that she would protect Shen Ningyuan after arriving at the Ji family.
Now Chen came with a group of people and wanted to send the servants of Xiyuanju away.
Her first reaction was that Chen wanted to hurt Shen Ningyuan.
So Luying stood in front of Chen without any hesitation.
Chen glared at Luying and said coldly, “Chen Ningyuan, call you, the maid, out.”
Shen Ningyuan was unmoved, just looking at Chen quietly.
Chen immediately became anxious, "Chen Ningyuan, didn't you hear me? I told you to tell this maid to get out!"
"Mother-in-law sent everyone away from my yard. Is there something wrong?"
Shen Ningyuan jumped directly to the topic.
When will Chen be able to order her maid around?
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan was unmoved, Chen had no choice but to lower her status and wink at the people she brought with her.
These people followed the people from Xiyuanju and went out together.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan said to Lu Ying, “You go out too.”
"Miss..." Luying looked worried.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "It's okay, just be obedient and go out first."
Luying had no choice but to give up and followed the others out of Xiyuanju.
After a while, only Shen Ningyuan and Chen were left in the huge courtyard.
Chen Ningyuan frowned frivolously and asked meaningfully, "Mother-in-law, is that handkerchief easy to use?"
Chen's expression changed instantly, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, stared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely, and asked, "Where did you get this handkerchief?"
"What do you think?" Shen Ningyuan asked instead of answering.
Chen was stunned and immediately asked, "This is Uncle Chen's handkerchief. How did it end up in your hand?"
"Although it is Uncle Chen's handkerchief, now that Uncle Chen is dead, the handkerchief should naturally be returned to its original owner." Shen Ningyuan said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” A trace of panic appeared on Chen’s face, and her eyes dodged to avoid Shen Ningyuan’s gaze, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”
"Since mother-in-law doesn't know, let me tell you." Shen Ningyuan smiled meaningfully, "This handkerchief is Uncle Chen's personal belongings, but the stitches on the handkerchief are obviously made by mother-in-law. Doesn't it count as returning the item to its original owner?"
Chen's face jumped, and she shouted directly: "Chen Ningyuan, I don't know what you are talking about!"
"Whether you really don't know or are pretending not to know, mother-in-law knows it clearly!" Chen Ningyuan smiled, "Take out a handkerchief of yours and let a professional embroiderer compare it, and you will know whether this handkerchief is made by mother-in-law."
"So, mother-in-law, are you still going to pretend to be confused in front of me?"
As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan took a step forward, her tone a little cold, "This handkerchief was made by my mother-in-law. It was a token of love that my mother-in-law gave to Uncle Chen!"
As soon as the words fell, Chen looked at Shen Ningyuan in panic, her eyes full of disbelief.
After a long while, Chen finally found her voice, "Chen, Chen Ningyuan, I don't know what you are talking about!"
