"That's right, the Marquis' Mansion cannot forget its roots!"
"We've been through this for so many years, how can it be cancelled just like that?"
"That's right, we are still relying on this money to make a living. You are just leaving us alone by doing this!"
"The Marquis' Mansion must give us an explanation today!"
"That's right, you must give an explanation!"
"Otherwise we won't leave and will stay in the mansion and not go anywhere!"
“…”
The Ji family's noisy voices rang out again.
The young eunuch holding the imperial edict shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene.
No wonder His Majesty wants to revoke the Ji family's title.
With the Ji family's barbaric behavior, they cannot keep the title even if they have the highest honor.
Just now, he was about to get off the car, but Shen Ningyuan stopped him.
Said he should stay in the carriage and watch a good show.
Looking at it this way, if he had gotten off the bus early, he would not have been able to see such a good show.
The young eunuch sighed.
I'm afraid the Ji family is finished.
At this time, listening to the shouting of the people from the Ji family, Chen's face turned pale.
If things go on like this, she will definitely have to pay the one hundred taels.
Thinking of this, Chen's eyes rolled, ready to continue pointing the finger at Shen Ningyuan.
Unexpectedly, before she could even open her mouth, Shen Ningyuan took the initiative to attack.
"Madam Ji, everyone's making such a fuss, why haven't you said anything? Could it be that you're reluctant to give me this hundred taels?"
Upon hearing this, Chen's face became even uglier.
After hearing what Shen Ningyuan said, Ji Nian also looked at Chen with a blaming look, and asked coldly: "From what your daughter-in-law said, you are reluctant to give this hundred taels?"
Chen quickly defended herself, "Of course not. How could I be reluctant to give you this hundred taels?"
Ji Nian sneered, "Then you give it to me!"
Chen: “…”
After holding it for a few seconds, Chen took a deep breath.
"Okay, I'll give it to you."
These three words were almost squeezed out through gritted teeth.
Chen looked at Madam Hai and said, "Go and get a hundred taels of silver."
Matron Hai was in a dilemma. "Madam, there's no money left in the treasury of the Marquisate!"
Chen glared at Madam Hai and said, "I still have some money in my private vault. Give it to me."
Hearing this, Nanny Hai's face turned even uglier. "Madam, that's your last resort. Are you sure you want to give all the money away..."
"Stop talking nonsense and get it!" Chen ordered.
Having said this, Nanny Hai had no choice but to turn around and get the banknotes.
After Nanny Hai left, Chen looked at Ji Nian and said, "I've already sent someone to get the money. Please stop making trouble."
Hearing this, Ji Nian also forced a smile.
"Of course, you've already given us the money, so why would we make a fuss?"
Ji Nian's words made Chen speechless with anger.
What do you mean by giving money and not making trouble?
Does this mean that it is natural for her to pay for this?
However, at this point, Chen didn't want to argue with the Ji family anymore.
I just wanted to hurry up, take the money and send the guy away.
After all, there have been so many things going on in the Marquis' Mansion recently, and she doesn't want to create any more trouble.
But some people just happen to bring up things that are not related to the topic.
Before Chen could say anything, someone suddenly asked.
"When the old lady came back a few days ago, she said that His Majesty was going to strip the Ji family of their titles. Is that true?"
Chen immediately retorted, "The old lady is delirious and talking nonsense, and you believe it?"
The man closed his mouth and looked at Ji Nian meaningfully.
It can be seen that this person was specially arranged by Ji Nian to test Chen.
"Could it be that the old lady is talking nonsense and His Majesty does not want to strip the Ji family of their title?" Ji Nian asked.
Chen nodded and said with certainty, "Of course the old lady is just talking nonsense. Our Ji family has inherited the title for decades. How could we just withdraw it?"
Shen Ningyuan stood aside with a sneer on his face.
As far as she knew, the title of Marquis was bestowed upon the Ji family by the previous dynasty.
It was because the Ji family was not valued by the current dynasty that Ji Yunchuan took the risk and faked his death to escape and help Xie Yumin, just to restore the Ji family's former glory.
It was obvious that Ji Nian didn't believe Chen's words either.
He glanced around and asked in a deep voice, "Since Your Majesty will not strip the Ji family of their title, why hasn't the Marquis been released yet?"
When Chen heard this, her expression changed again, and she no longer had the toughness she had just shown.
"Your Majesty is still angry. Once he calms down, he will definitely release the Marquis." Chen said in a low voice.
"Oh? Then did His Majesty say when the Marquis would be released?"
"Soon, probably in the next two days."
"Since he will be released in the next two days, we will stay in the Marquis' Mansion for two more days and go back after the Marquis is released." Ji Nian said in a deep voice.
"What? You still want to wait until the Marquis is released?" Chen's face changed immediately.
Seeing this, Ji Nian snorted coldly, "What? You don't want to?"
Chen didn't dare to say no, so she could only grit her teeth and nodded, "Of course I do, you can stay as long as you want."
As long as you don't cause her any trouble, staying for a few days is not a problem.
Moreover, she can use this group of people to cause trouble for Shen Ningyuan.
Chen's wishful thinking went smoothly, but she didn't know that at this time, the young eunuch was holding the imperial edict and striding towards her.
