At this time, in a simply decorated room in the Marquis' Mansion.
Ji Yunchuan sat at the table, picked up a cup of tea and was about to bring it to his mouth.
At this moment, a deep female voice suddenly came from behind the screen.
"I haven't been back to the Marquis' Mansion since my cousin faked his death. Why did he choose to come back today? Today is the day for the funeral, and there will be many people watching."
Ji Yunchuan's brows darkened slightly. He stopped drinking water and said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to talk about this. I always feel that the initiative is no longer in our hands in the current situation."
"Oh? What happened?" the woman asked.
Ji Yunchuan replied truthfully: "Chen Ningyuan."
After that, the woman stopped talking.
Ji Yunchuan continued to bring the tea to his mouth.
After a moment of silence in the room, light footsteps were heard.
A woman dressed in mourning, with a pale and feminine face, walked out from behind the screen.
"A lot has happened in the Marquis' Mansion in recent days. Whether it's the death of cousin Ji Yunhuan or Uncle Chen being shot by an assassin, it seems to be related to Shen Ningyuan."
As the woman spoke, she slowly walked to Ji Yunchuan and sat down.
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan's face became even gloomier than before.
He suddenly put down the teacup and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ningyuan drank the Crane's Beak Red, but was not poisoned to death. This is already the biggest change!"
As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan slammed his fist on the table in anger and said angrily: "I should have taken this matter seriously from the beginning, then Huan'er would not have died an untimely death!"
Hearing this, the woman lowered her head slightly.
He lowered his eyes silently, a hint of sarcasm flashing across his eyes.
In her opinion, Ji Yunhuan died of stupidity.
He couldn't even do the smallest thing right, and ruined His Highness's plan.
You deserve to die!
Ji Yunchuan didn't notice the woman's expression. He suddenly looked up and asked, "Cousin Mo'er, has His Highness investigated the matter thoroughly? How did Huan'er die?"
Hearing this, Chen Mo'er calmed down, shook her head, and said truthfully, "Your Highness has sent people to investigate, but there are no clues. Moreover, there was a poisonous snake in the ancestral hall that day, and it has been investigated clearly that it was my aunt and Huan'er who secretly did it."
"And there's one more thing we didn't notice. There are two small red spots on Ji Yunhuan's calf. They are the marks left by a venomous snake bite."
"So I guess that Huan'er was bitten by a poisonous snake in the ancestral hall. When he passed by the lake, he struggled when the poison took effect, accidentally fell into the lake, and then drowned." Chen Moer analyzed seriously.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunchuan frowned and did not agree with this statement.
He said in a deep voice, "But, a few nights ago, I sneaked into the ancestral hall of the Marquis' Mansion and found marks of strangulation on Huan'er's neck."
Chen Moer said indifferently, "That explains it. When bitten by a venomous snake, there will be a feeling of suffocation when the poison takes effect. It was probably at that time that Ji Yunhuan caught it himself."
"Is that so?" Ji Yunchuan was still a little skeptical, "But I still think Huan'er's death was not an accident!"
There were too many coincidences, which only made him more suspicious.
Seeing this, Chen Moer stopped talking and waited for Ji Yunchuan to think it through himself.
After a moment, Ji Yunchuan decided not to pursue the matter further.
After all, Ji Yunhuan is already dead.
The current situation is not the time to pursue these issues.
Suddenly, Ji Yunchuan thought of something and looked at Chen Moer in confusion.
He asked, "By the way, did Mother listen to you and invite all the guests to the front hall, leaving Shen Ningyuan alone in the ancestral hall, hoping to give Shen Ningyuan a warning on the day of the funeral?"
Hearing this, the expression on Chen Moer's face was even more confused than Ji Yunchuan's.
"When did this happen?" Chen Moer frowned and shook her head, "I've never told this to my aunt."
"Didn't you teach me?" Ji Yunchuan was stunned.
Chen Moer shook her head affirmatively, "Of course not! How could I be so stupid as to leave Shen Ningyuan alone in the ancestral hall on the day of the funeral?"
"This wasn't your arrangement?" Ji Yunchuan's eyes widened as he suddenly realized, "Oh no! This is a trick!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear whistle reached their ears from afar.
Ji Yunchuan stood up suddenly, looked in the direction of the whistle, and exclaimed, "It's the ancestral hall!"
Chen Moer also quickly stood up and looked nervously in the direction of the ancestral hall.
This whistle will not attract other people's attention.
But Chen Moer and Ji Yunchuan knew very well that this was the whistle that conveyed information!
Not daring to think too much, Ji Yunchuan immediately stood up and strode towards the door.
Before leaving, Ji Yunchuan turned around and told Chen Moer seriously, "Cousin, go to the front hall and ask mother what she wants to do!"
"If we ruin His Highness's plan, our lives will be in jeopardy!"
Finally, Ji Yunchuan added in a cold voice.
It was a warning to Chen Moer as well as to himself.
After saying that, Ji Yunchuan walked out of the room without looking back.
After Ji Yunchuan left, Chen Moer also walked out the door.
-
At this time, when Ji Yunchuan hurried to the ancestral hall, the situation in the hall had already gotten out of control.
Cui Mingzhu completely lost her mind and let out blushing moans under the homeless man.
Shen Ningyuan was afraid of dirtying his eyes, so he turned away early, lowered his head, and didn't know what he was thinking about.
The sounds from the ancestral hall behind him still reached his ears intermittently.
Yi Ge thought that Chen Ningyuan would be soft-hearted.
When the homeless man assaulted Cui Mingzhu, he would order her to go in and stop it.
But to her surprise, Shen Ningyuan was terrifyingly calm.
Standing outside the ancestral hall, it seemed as if nothing had happened inside.
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.
Shen Ningyuan raised her head abruptly and said in a cold tone, "He's here."
She could finally see what choice Ji Yunchuan would make after seeing this scene in the ancestral hall.
Should he choose to show up on the spot and expose the truth about his fake death?
He should give up Cui Mingzhu and continue to hide in the dark and be his coward.
"Miss, someone has arrived at the door of the ancestral hall. Do you want to stop him?" Yi Ge asked.
Shen Ningyuan shook his head and whispered: “No, it’s not the time yet. I’ll let you in, and you can go in later.”
"Okay." Yi Ge nodded.
Shen Ningyuan did not look back, not wanting the white scene inside to pollute her eyes.
I just held my breath and listened quietly to the movement inside.
Ji Yunchuan stood at the door of the ancestral hall. When he heard the intermittent shouting from inside, he clenched his fists instantly.
He was so familiar with this voice.
Countless times, Cui Mingzhu made such sounds when she lay under him.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan clenched his fists even tighter.
But he still restrained himself and did not kick the door open easily.
Finally, a loud scream was heard from inside the ancestral hall.
Ji Yunchuan could no longer restrain himself. With bloodshot eyes, he kicked open the door of the ancestral hall.
Bang--
Ji Yunchuan saw it the moment the door was kicked open.
This is a scene he will never forget in his life...
