"Sister, the evidence above is hard for ordinary people to find. How did you get it?"
The two asked in unison.
"Don't worry about this matter, big brother and second brother. Anyway, you must hide the account books and letters." Shen Ningyuan said in a serious tone: "Once we find out the mastermind behind this, we will immediately hand these things over and send the entire Ji family to hell!"
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan was unwilling to say more, Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue did not ask any more questions.
Shen Haoyue took the account book and the letter, "Okay, listen to my sister, and my second brother will definitely keep these things well."
"Um."
Shen Ningyuan responded, then looked towards the backyard.
He sneered and said, "I'm going to the backyard now to see if the person who was sent back is really Cui Mingzhu!"
"In that case, sister, please go ahead and we'll go hide the letters and account books."
"good."
After the three siblings separated, Shen Ningyuan walked straight to the backyard.
"Miss, is the person you sent back really your cousin?" Lan Yin asked with a worried look on her face.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head: "I don't know, I'll have to go and see it first."
Hearing this, Lan Yin became even more worried and said anxiously, "If it really is my cousin, and she knows that my cousin has plotted against her, she will definitely not let her go!"
Shen Ningyuan remained unmoved and said calmly, “Don’t worry, Cui Mingzhu can’t cause any trouble.”
"Well, I hope my worries are unnecessary." Lan Yin said sullenly.
As they were talking, the two had already arrived at Mingzhu Pavilion where Cui Mingzhu lived.
As soon as I walked in, I heard Cui Jin's grief-stricken crying.
"Mingzhu, tell me, who is this damned scoundrel who turned you into this?"
"If anything happens to you, how can I be worthy of my dead brother?"
Shen Ningyuan frowned slightly.
Sure enough, Cui Mingzhu’s father will always be a knot in her mother’s heart.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan quickened his pace and walked into Cui Mingzhu's room.
As soon as she entered the door, Shen Ningyuan pretended to know nothing and asked anxiously: "Mother, what happened?"
After approaching, seeing Cui Mingzhu's pale face, Shen Ningyuan immediately looked worried and asked: "Cousin...why is she so pale?"
Cui Jin quickly turned around and looked at Shen Ningyuan.
Asked: "Yuan'er, why are you back?"
Shen Ningyuan took two steps forward and made up an excuse, "I heard that my cousin was in trouble, so I came here."
As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan asked in surprise: "What's wrong with her?"
Cui Jin wiped away her tears and said sadly, "Your cousin has been missing for several days and was suddenly thrown at the door of the general's mansion. Not only that, there is also..."
"What's wrong with your abdomen?" Shen Ningyuan asked deliberately.
Cui Jin said hesitantly, "Her abdomen was cut open. Although the bleeding was stopped and sutured in time to save her life, the doctor said that she will never have the chance to have children again!"
"The abdomen was cut open, so we can't have children?" Shen Ningyuan pretended to be surprised.
Cui Jin nodded, then started crying again.
"Who the hell is that to do this to your cousin?"
Listening to Cui Jin's crying, Shen Ningyuan asked hesitantly: "Mom, has the doctor spoken? When will my cousin wake up?"
"The doctor isn't sure either, but your cousin's current condition is indeed very unstable. The doctor said her survival depends on tonight!"
"What if I can't wake up tonight?" Shen Ningyuan asked tentatively.
Hearing this, Cui Jin cried even louder, "If I don't wake up tonight, the doctor will ask us to prepare for my funeral immediately!"
"Oh? If you can't wake up...prepare for your funeral?"
Shen Ningyuan muttered softly, staring straight at Cui Mingzhu's pale face.
In that case, it would be best if she never wakes up!
Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Jin comfortingly, "Mother, I will stay at the General's Mansion tonight. I will return to the Marquis' Mansion after my cousin wakes up."
"Okay." Cui Jin held Chen Ningyuan's hand, "Yuan'er, your sister-in-law is inconvenient because of her weight. You stay here first and keep an eye on your cousin for me. I'll go ask the housekeeper for some thousand-year-old ginseng to extend your cousin's life."
Shen Ningyuan nodded obediently, “Yes, go ahead, mother. Yuan’er will definitely take good care of my cousin!”
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan agreed readily, Cui Jin no longer had any worries and turned around and walked out of the room.
After she left, Shen Ningyuan turned to look at Lan Yin and whispered, "Lan Yin, go back to the Marquis' Mansion now and tell them that I'm not going back tonight and I'm staying at the General's Mansion."
"Yeah, okay."
Lan Yin retreated in response.
Afterwards, Shen Ningyuan looked at the other maids and servants in the room and softly ordered them, "You all go down, cousin, I'll be with you here."
"Yes, Miss!"
After that, several maids and old women also left the room.
After waiting until there was no one around, Shen Ningyuan walked to the bed and sat down, looking down at the pale Cui Mingzhu.
After a moment, he said in a cold tone: "Cousin, there is no one in the room anymore, you don't have to pretend to be unconscious anymore."
Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, but Cui Mingzhu did not open her eyes.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan raised his eyebrows, with a strange smile on his face.
"Since you don't want to wake up, I'll send you off so you won't wake up for the rest of your life."
As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan picked up the soft pillow beside the bed and pressed it against Cui Mingzhu's face.
Just as the soft pillow was about to press down, Cui Mingzhu finally opened her eyes.
She gritted her teeth and asked, "Bitch, you took the opportunity to attack me while my aunt was away!"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan retracted the soft pillow and looked at Cui Mingzhu's distorted face.
"Are you not pretending anymore?" Shen Ningyuan asked playfully.
"Did you know I was pretending the moment you walked in?" Cui Mingzhu asked gritting her teeth.
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Your breathing rate is not right, I can tell at a glance that you are pretending."
Cui Mingzhu looked at Chen Ningyuan coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Ningyuan, you are so bad! You dared to plot against me and let that disgusting homeless man violate me!"
"You know everything?" Shen Ningyuan chuckled.
Cui Mingzhu roared, "I'm not a fool. If I think about it for a moment, I'll know that you're plotting against me!"
Shen Ningyuan didn't say anything, still looking at Cui Mingzhu with a smile.
Seeing her like this, Cui Mingzhu's anger intensified, and she continued to ask, "Chen Ningyuan, tell me, who is helping you behind the scenes? Who helped you get rid of those people on the day of the funeral?"
"Cousin, didn't you just say that you were not a fool? How come you can't even guess this?" Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and asked back.
"What do you mean?" Cui Mingzhu frowned in confusion.
Shen Ningyuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who is the head of the Marquis' Mansion and who makes the decisions? My cousin knows it better than anyone else. Is this... hard to guess?"
