(The previous plot has been slightly changed, please remember to read the previous chapter)
Ji Yunchuan would never have thought that Shen Ningyuan would turn back at this time!
The moment their eyes met, Ji Yunchuan's whole body stiffened and layers of cold sweat broke out on his back.
Shen Ningyuan actually saw him!
Ji Yunchuan's eyes widened as he kept thinking about what to do.
For a moment, Ji Yunchuan was extremely flustered and stared at Shen Ningyuan closely.
Just when Ji Yunchuan thought that Shen Ningyuan would expose his fake death in public, she suddenly looked away after making eye contact with him.
Then, Shen Ningyuan, who was walking in front, suddenly burst into tears.
"Wuwuwu, my husband, I miss you so much. How could you just leave like that and leave Ning Yuan here alone?"
The team stopped and their eyes were fixed on Shen Ningyuan.
Some may cherish, some may pity, some may despise, some may just watch the show...
Chen, who was closest to Shen Ningyuan, immediately stepped forward and asked with a look of pity: "My dear daughter-in-law, you were fine just now, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan pointed in the direction of Ji Yunchuan and cried loudly, "Mother-in-law, you don't know, I really miss my husband so much. Because I miss him so much, I just had an illusion and saw my husband following the funeral procession!"
Ji Yunchuan didn't expect Shen Ningyuan to do this.
But he still breathed a sigh of relief and moved to another position quietly.
Fortunately, Shen Ningyuan did not recognize him and thought it was just an illusion.
But despite this, Shen Ningyuan's words still caused panic in the funeral procession.
Everyone looked in horror in the direction of her finger, but there was no one there.
At this time, someone trembled and asked, "There's no one here. Could it be that Ji Yunchuan appeared in spirit? What the young lady just saw was Ji Yunchuan's ghost?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there were several screams from the crowd.
Everyone dispersed and moved away from the position where Shen Ningyuan's finger was.
Seeing the chaos in the team, Ji Zehai couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Daughter-in-law, could it be that you missed Yunchuan too much and had hallucinations?"
Shen Ningyuan was still sobbing softly, and whispered: "Maybe I really saw it wrongly. After all, it's late at night, it's normal to be dazzled."
At this time, someone asked tremblingly: "It's late at night, isn't it the time to see ghosts?"
As soon as the words fell, the surroundings immediately became quiet.
The funeral procession was eerily silent and deathly quiet.
Ji Zehai gave the Taoist a wink, and the Taoist instantly understood what he meant.
He quickly stepped forward, waving his dustpan and saying, "Don't worry, everyone. With me here, no matter what kind of monsters they are, we have nothing to fear!"
Afterwards, the old Taoist priest jumped up and down in the funeral procession like a monkey.
The dust was waving non-stop, hitting here and there, and the scene was as funny as it could be.
Shen Ningyuan lowered her head and curled her lips in a sneer. The people Ji Zehai brought in were really good at pretending.
After the Taoist priest made a circle around the team, he came to Shen Ningyuan in a pretentious manner and said in a serious tone: "Young Madam, the evil spirits have been driven away by the old Taoist priest. Do you think you will still have hallucinations?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan raised her head and looked around, her gaze falling on the place where Ji Yunchuan had stood before.
He shook his head pretending to be frightened, "No, no more."
The Taoist straightened his chest, shook off the dust in his hands, and said loudly: "Okay, let's continue the funeral!"
Following the Taoist priest's order, the funeral procession continued to move forward.
Ji Yunnuo stood in the funeral procession and saw all the subtle moments of Shen Ningyuan.
Neither the coldness in her eyes nor the raised corners of her lips escaped his eyes.
While thinking, Ji Yunnuo pretended to be casual and looked at the position of Shen Ningyuan's fingers before.
A servant who was walking with his head down but obviously trembling caught Ji Yunnuo's attention.
Ji Yunnuo was stunned at first, then turned around with a knowing smile on his face.
She whispered softly, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, how many surprises do you have that I haven't thought of?"
She had clearly recognized that the servant was Ji Yunchuan, but she refused to expose him.
With just a few pretentious words, he fooled Ji Yunchuan.
If his guess was correct, Ji Yunchuan must still be feeling frightened at this moment.
Ji Yunnuo smiled coldly and said sinisterly with his lips: "In that case, let my sister-in-law play with my brother first!"
Shen Ningyuan didn't know that Ji Yunnuo was looking at her meaningfully.
Now, her mind was full of the eye contact with Ji Yunchuan just now and his panic-stricken look.
Shen Ningyuan raised the corners of her lips, her eyes full of a playful smile of success.
Ji Yunchuan, it turns out that you, who are so scheming, can also be afraid sometimes!
You were so panicked just now, did you think I would expose you in public?
I've exposed you and am now forcing you to reveal yourself?
That would be so boring.
I will only step on the pile of corpses of the Ji family and force you into a desperate situation step by step, leaving you with no way to retreat!
At this time, the discussion behind him caught Shen Ningyuan's attention.
"It's so strange. Why did the Ji family choose to hold the funeral at night? Is there some special reason for this?"
"Of course there are some things to consider. The Ji family has lost two people in a row, both of them tragically. One died on the battlefield, leaving no trace of his body, while the other drowned in a lake and was completely disfigured. Their resentment was so strong that they couldn't be buried during the day when the yang energy was plentiful, so they had to be buried at night."
"Alas, how tragic! All the legitimate children are dead, leaving only Ji Yunnuo, the useless illegitimate son. How can the Ji family ever rise again?"
