Obviously, just mentioning the person behind Ji Yunchuan.
Cui Mingzhu couldn't help but feel a chill growing from the bottom of her bones.
From the moment they started working for that person, they had their heads hanging on their waists.
If you succeed, you will be granted a title of nobility.
Failure means death!
"Zhu'er, be careful with your words!" Ji Yunchuan scolded.
Cui Mingzhu then shut up, but still looked at Ji Yunchuan with worry.
He asked, "Brother Yunchuan, if we can't find that person, and he exposes your fake death, then we're done for, right?"
Ji Yunchuan nodded, "That's exactly the truth."
Cui Mingzhu's face darkened. "If that's the case, then we must find a way to find that person today!"
"But before that, there is one thing that Zhu'er needs to do."
"What's up?"
Ji Yunchuan said, "When you are in the Marquis' Mansion today, find an excuse to stay with Shen Ningyuan, and follow her closely."
"Why?" Cui Mingzhu asked subconsciously.
“Because I suspect that the person I met in the ancestral hall that night was Shen Ningyuan.”
Ji Yunchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a dangerous look flashed in his eyes.
"What?" Cui Mingzhu exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible?"
Ji Yunchuan shook his head, his expression even more serious than before, and said: "Chen Ningyuan has changed so much recently that I can't help but wonder if she has discovered something."
Cui Mingzhu shook her head and said, "Brother Yunchuan, you must be wrong. Shen Ningyuan is so stupid, how could he notice these things?"
She didn't believe it at all.
If the person that night was really Shen Ningyuan.
She should have exposed this matter a long time ago, why did she wait until now?
Ji Yunchuan was silent for a moment and decided to be cautious.
He immediately said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. This is a serious matter, so we should be careful."
Ji Yunchuan looked at Cui Mingzhu, "So Zhu'er, you better listen to me. You must stay by Shen Ningyuan's side today, and don't leave her side for a single step. If she makes any move, notify me immediately."
Cui Mingzhu was originally reluctant.
But seeing Ji Yunchuan's insistence, Cui Mingzhu agreed.
"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Chuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the yard.
The two were startled and hid in the corner cautiously, listening to the noise outside.
"What on earth is Madam going to do? Why did she suddenly invite all the guests to the front hall and leave the young lady alone in the ancestral hall?"
Hearing that it was related to Shen Ningyuan, Ji Yunchuan's expression immediately became serious.
"Who knows? They say the young master's funeral is coming soon, so they want to keep the young mistress and the young master for a while."
"So that's how it is. I thought something had happened!"
"Let's not ask about the above matters casually, just do our work properly!"
"Yes, yes, it's more important to get things done first."
“…”
Hearing the noisy footsteps fading away, Ji Yunchuan's face turned ugly.
He asked in a low voice: "Mother invited all the guests to the front yard, why did you leave Chen Ningyuan alone in the ancestral hall?"
After a while, Ji Yunchuan suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately said, "Something is wrong!"
Then he looked at Cui Mingzhu, "Zhu'er, listen to me. Go to the ancestral hall and guard Shen Ningyuan. No matter what happens, don't leave her alone!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Before leaving, Cui Mingzhu specifically told Ji Yunchuan to be careful in everything.
Ji Yunchuan nodded in agreement.
After Cui Mingzhu left, Ji Yunchuan lowered his head and walked towards another courtyard in the marquis' mansion.
After faking his death for so long, it was time for him to go see her.
-
After Cui Mingzhu and Ji Yunchuan separated, they immediately went to the ancestral hall.
At this moment, the ancestral hall, which happened to be crowded with people, was now unusually quiet.
As Cui Mingzhu stepped into the threshold of the ancestral hall, she saw Shen Ningyuan kneeling in front of the coffin with her hands clasped together, praying for something.
Seeing this scene, Cui Mingzhu thought that Shen Ningyuan must be praying for Ji Yunchuan.
But in fact, Shen Ningyuan put his hands together and was praying.
But she prayed:
"God bless me, let me get hold of something that could hold the Ji family and Ji Yunchuan accountable, and send the Ji family to hell in one fell swoop!"
"May Ji Yunchuan do all the bad things he has done and be reborn as a pig in his next life!"
"May the little nephew in my sister-in-law's belly be born safely."
Shen Ningyuan muttered something.
When footsteps sounded behind him, Shen Ningyuan stopped praying and waited quietly for the person behind him to approach.
"Cousin, your cousin is here to accompany you."
Hearing Cui Mingzhu's voice, Shen Ningyuan's mouth curled up slightly.
She knew that Cui Mingzhu would definitely come.
"Cousin, everyone has gone to the front hall, why are you here?"
Shen Ningyuan raised her head, revealing a pair of slightly red eyes.
Seeing her red eyes from crying, Cui Mingzhu knew that Ji Yunchuan's guess was false.
Shen Ningyuan loves Ji Yunchuan so much, how could she be the one in the ancestral hall that night?
Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu squatted down and said with feigned concern: "Your brother-in-law's funeral is about to begin. You're alone in the ancestral hall. Your uncle is afraid that you might do something stupid, so he asked me to come and keep you company."
"Cousin, it's okay. You don't have to come and accompany me. You should go out and rest!" Shen Ningyuan pretended to be reserved and refused.
Cui Mingzhu quickly said, "We are all family, don't be so formal. Now that your brother-in-law is in trouble, your cousin needs someone to accompany her. As your sister, of course I have to stay by your side."
Now that things have come to this, if Shen Ningyuan refuses again, it would be that she is ignorant.
