Yi Ge's sudden appearance instantly turned the situation around.
Seeing that the long sword was about to pierce her, Chen Moer dodged the sword quickly.
Chen Moer glared at Yi Ge fiercely, "Who are you?"
"You take care of me."
Without any extra words, Yi Ge drew out his second long sword and charged towards Chen Moer, with almost every sword strike aimed at Chen Moer's fatal spot.
"You are not from the Marquis' Mansion, why do you want to interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion?"
"I have been ordered to protect my master, so of course I will not interfere in the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."
"Master? Chen Ningyuan?" Chen Moer exclaimed, "You were sent by the General's Mansion to protect Chen Ningyuan!"
Yi Ge did not respond, but his moves were deadly.
At this moment, Chen Moer realized that killing Shen Ningyuan was not an easy task.
Faced with Yi Ge's fatal attack, Chen Moer could only dodge continuously, but still couldn't avoid Yi Ge's sword.
Until Yi Ge put the sword on her neck, Chen Moer's face instantly turned pale.
"Miss, how should we deal with this?" Yi Ge looked at Chen Ningyuan and asked in a light tone.
At this time, Shen Ningyuan had just finished dealing with the servants in the Marquis' Mansion. Seeing Chen Moer with Yi Ge holding her neck, Shen Ningyuan threw down the bamboo stick in his hand and walked towards Chen Moer.
After approaching, Shen Ningyuan looked down at Chen Moer from above and sneered, "I thought you were so powerful, but I didn't expect you to be just like this."
"Chen Ningyuan, do you dare to kill me?" Chen Moer said with a puff.
Shen Ningyuan asked back: "Chen Moer, why do you think I dare not kill you?"
"Don't you want to know who is behind the plot against the Shen family?" Chen Moer laughed cruelly. "Kill me, and you'll never know who that person is!"
"It's okay, I'll find out."
Chen Ningyuan looked at Chen Moer coldly and gave Yi Ge a try.
Yi Ge nodded and pretended to kill Chen Moer.
At this critical moment, Chen rushed out.
“Wait!”
Chen stopped Yi Ge and looked at Shen Ningyuan pleadingly, "Ningyuan, can you please spare Mo'er?"
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan didn't say anything, Chen lowered her posture, "Ningyuan, I beg you just this once, please let Mo'er go."
"If it weren't for Yi Ge, I would have been beaten to death by you!" Shen Ningyuan asked in return, "If it were you, would you let me go?"
Chen was speechless and looked at Chen Moer helplessly.
The latter did not expect that this would be the situation after he had a falling out with Shen Ningyuan.
But unexpectedly, Shen Ningyuan suddenly changed her mind and didn't want to kill Chen Moer anymore.
"Yi Ge, lock her up in our yard. No one is allowed to visit her without my order."
"Yes, miss."
Yi Ge responded, then walked away with Chen Moer twisting her like a chicken.
During this time, Chen Moer tried to resist, but was strangled by Yi Ge and instantly lost the strength to resist.
Chen watched helplessly as Yi Ge took Chen Moer away, but she was powerless to do anything.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
When Ji Yunhuan died before, Chen was not so worried.
Why is it that at this moment, seeing Chen Moer being taken away, Chen was so worried.
Is the relationship between them really as simple as that of aunt and niece?
After a moment of confusion, Shen Ningyuan asked with a half-smile, "Madam Ji, these people... should be withdrawn, right?"
Hearing this, Chen gritted her teeth and said, “Chen Ningyuan, did you know from the beginning that we decided to take action against you, so we arranged this maid to be by your side to protect you closely?”
"Why, is it not possible?" Shen Ningyuan sneered and asked back, "Madam Ji, you must have forgotten that when I got married a year ago, the General's Mansion had already arranged ten maids who knew martial arts for me. But you forced me to remove all the maids because you thought the Ji family was a family of scholars and shouldn't have violence."
Shen Ningyuan continued, "Now that Yunchuan is gone, I have no one to rely on in the Ji family. Is there any problem in arranging one or two people who are good at martial arts to protect me personally?"
"Of course no problem." Chen was speechless again.
"Since there is no problem, I will go back and rest."
Shen Ningyuan waved her hand and walked straight towards her yard under Chen's unwilling gaze.
Chen stood there, staring at Shen Ningyuan's back, the resentment in her eyes even worse.
"You useless bastards!" Chen turned around abruptly and shouted at the trembling servants beside her, spit flying everywhere. "A bunch of useless people who are always causing trouble! With so many people, you can't even deal with Shen Ningyuan. What's the use of you?"
The servants were so frightened that they all fell to their knees with a thud, not daring to breathe.
Seeing how timid they were, Chen felt even more resentful.
Seeing that Chen was getting angrier and angrier, Nanny Hai, who was serving her, hurried forward.
He carefully soothed her, "Madam, please don't get angry and hurt yourself."
After hearing what Madam Hai said, Chen couldn't help but ask, "How could I not be angry? That bitch Shen Ningyuan is becoming increasingly out of our control!"
Hearing this, Madam Hai bent down and whispered in Chen's ear, "Madam, the young lady's temperament is indeed different from before. If we want to deal with her, we still have to take a long-term approach!"
Chen glared at her fiercely, "Huh! Take the long view? That's easy for you to say! Now that Mo'er has been captured by Chen Ningyuan, we are afraid of the consequences. What good solutions can we have?"
"Madam, don't worry." Madam Hai said calmly, a cold glint in her eyes. "Madam, the incident at the palace banquet tonight has caused quite a stir. We'd better not confront the young lady head-on. After all, the Ji family... still relies on the General's Mansion!"
"What do you mean? Do you want me to watch Chen Ningyuan wantonly hurt my daughter—" Chen immediately changed her words, "Lock Mo'er up and hurt her wantonly?"
Matron Hai shook her head. "It's only a few days. Can't Madam be patient for a moment?"
"What ideas do you have?" Chen asked quickly.
Madam Hai immediately replied, "Madam, think about it, as long as Chen Ningyuan is the daughter-in-law of the Marquis' Mansion, the General's Mansion will never watch anything happen to the Marquis' Mansion."
"You mean... even if we don't do anything, the General's Mansion will find a way to resolve this crisis at the Marquis' Mansion?"
"Business." Nanny Hai nodded firmly.
Chen was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and a sinister smile appeared on her face.
"Okay! Let's do as you say. We will hold our ground for now. For Shen Ningyuan, the General's Mansion will have to step in to resolve this crisis!"
Nanny Hai comforted her in a flattering manner, "Don't worry, Madam. The Marquis will be back soon."
Hearing this, Chen's expression improved a little.
On the other side, as soon as Shen Ningyuan returned to her yard, Lan Yin ran towards her with tears and snot.
"Miss, you're finally back!" Lan Yin said, wiping away tears. "When I realized something was wrong just now, the Chen family had already surrounded Xiyuanju. I couldn't get out at all."
"Fortunately, there is Yi Ge, otherwise the young lady would have been harmed by those black-hearted people!"
