"What?"
Chen's face changed and she almost fainted on the spot.
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and looked over, and found that Chen's emotions were even more excited than when she released Chen Mo'er just now.
It seems that in Chen's heart, the title of Marquis is above everything else.
Chen managed to calm herself down, stood up tremblingly, and held the hand of the maid who delivered the message.
He asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me, did you hear it wrong?"
The maid shook her head, "Madam, how dare this servant lie about such a serious matter?"
"Who told you?" Chen asked again.
The maid pursed her lips and continued, "Madam, my brother is on duty in the palace and accidentally heard it while on guard last night."
"It is said that His Majesty is very serious and revealed to the Empress that the Ji family has been sitting on the title for too long." The maid added.
"Really... is that so?"
Chen's face twisted, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and exchanged a knowing glance with Lan Yin behind her.
Sure enough, in Chen's heart, nothing could compare to the status of the Marquise.
She didn't care about her husband's situation or the life or death of her children.
The only person she cares about is herself.
Seeing Chen fainted, Madam Ji pretended to be calm and had someone help Chen down.
After Chen left, everyone else's expressions became very strange.
After the first person said goodbye and left, the others also stood up and said goodbye and left.
It was obvious that after hearing that His Majesty was going to strip the Marquis's title, they no longer wanted to have anything to do with the Ji family.
Seeing that the person who had just been trying to please her was now trying to avoid her, Old Lady Ji was extremely angry.
After everyone had left, she angrily threw the teacup on the table to the ground.
He cursed angrily, "What a bunch of filthy bastards! Just now you were trying to curry favor with the Marquis' Mansion, but now that they see the mansion is in trouble, you just leave!"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's face showed no expression, but he sneered in his heart.
After a while, Madam Ji set her sights on Shen Ningyuan.
But before she could speak, Shen Ningyuan suddenly stood up and said calmly, "Grandma, everyone has dispersed. I, your granddaughter-in-law, dare not disturb your meditation, so I will go back first."
After saying this, without giving the other party any chance to respond, Shen Ningyuan turned and left.
"you……"
Madam Ji watched Shen Ningyuan leave, the words stuck in her throat, unable to utter them.
In an instant, the only people left in the huge front hall were Old Madam Ji, Nanny Hai beside her, and Ji Yunnuo who had not yet left.
Nanny Hai, with a red and swollen face, watched Chen Ningyuan leave with unwilling eyes, but she was helpless.
At this time, Old Madam Ji looked at Ji Yunnuo, and there was a bit more relief in her turbid eyes.
"Grandma's good grandson, you are still filial at the critical moment—"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ji Yunnuo: "Grandma, my sister-in-law is right. You have always liked to practice in seclusion. I will not disturb you and will take my leave first."
After saying that, Ji Yunnuo didn't give Madam Ji a chance to react. He nodded and said goodbye and left.
Old Madam Ji sat on the Zen wooden chair, feeling very suffocated but helpless.
Seeing that Madam Ji was on the verge of getting angry, even though Nanny Hai was also angry, she had to hold back her anger and patiently coax the old woman.
On the other side, Ji Yunnuo quickly caught up with Shen Ningyuan after leaving the front hall.
"Sister-in-law, wait for me."
Hearing the shout behind him, Shen Ningyuan turned around.
She saw Ji Yunnuo running towards her, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Shen Ningyuan stopped, looked at Ji Yunnuo calmly, and asked softly, "Is there anything else?"
"Sister-in-law, what a commotion today."
Ji Yunnuo praised sincerely: "Detaining Chen Mo'er is equivalent to cutting off the hand of the person behind the scenes who is reaching out to the Ji family. From now on, no matter what my sister-in-law wants to do in the Ji family, she can do it without any scruples."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan chuckled and said lightly: "Nothing like you, you saw through my plan early on and arranged for that scholar to slander Chen Mo'er for having an affair with a man outside in front of everyone in the Ji family, so that the initiative is back in my hands."
"Didn't they slander my sister-in-law in the palace back then?" Ji Yunnuo smiled, "Now, it's just tit for tat."
Shen Ningyuan looked at Ji Yunnuo in surprise.
Suddenly she realized that he had arranged this incident today to vent her anger.
"Thank you very much."
Shen Ningyuan uttered two words, turned around and was about to walk towards Xiyuanju.
Ji Yunnuo followed with a licked face and asked with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Without even turning around, Shen Ningyuan said, “Go back and rest, and wait for someone to come.”
Ji Yunnuo was about to continue asking, but suddenly realized something.
He stopped immediately and watched Shen Ningyuan leave, with a look of attachment in his eyes.
Sure enough, Shen Ningyuan returned to Xiyuanju and had just laid down for a short time.
Lan Yin rushed in and said in panic, "Miss, Chen is here."
Shen Ningyuan sat up with a playful smile in his eyes.
"Oh, you woke up so soon?"
Lan Yin frowned and asked, "Miss, do you want her to come in?"
"Of course." Shen Ningyuan raised an eyebrow and waved her hand indifferently, "Let her wait for me in the side hall."
"Yes, miss."
Lan Yin retreated.
Shen Ningyuan sat up from the bed, put on her coat, and walked towards the side hall.
Before she even entered the side hall, upon hearing her movement, Chen stood up anxiously and ran towards Shen Ningyuan.
