Chapter 258: Silencing the Witness



Seeing Chen's excited expression, Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and said slightly aggrievedly: "Madam Ji, even if you don't like me, you shouldn't wrongly accuse me in front of so many people!"

"Who wronged you?" Chen was even more anxious. "Speak clearly, how did I wrong you?"

Chen pointed at Shen Ningyuan, "You clearly can't stand seeing our Ji family doing well! Look at these onlookers, they are all laughing at the Ji family's jokes. It's because of you that the Ji family has lost all face!"

After saying that, Chen glared at Shen Ningyuan viciously, wishing she could gouge out a piece of her flesh.

Shen Ningyuan did not respond, but just looked at Chen calmly with a meaningful smile on her face.

Seeing this scene, the onlookers immediately discovered something and pointed at Chen and Shen Ningyuan.

"Mrs. Ji, what you said is so unreasonable. What does Young Madam Guan have to do with it? It's clearly the Ji family who are embarrassing themselves!"

"Young Madam is truly wronged, having to deal with this unreasonable family."

"Alas, the world is going downhill! I heard that the young lady of the Ji family has been using her dowry to support the Ji family for the past year since she married into the family. I didn't expect that she would raise such a family of ungrateful people!"

After hearing this, the others immediately joined in.

"Yes, yes, if I were the young lady, I would have returned to my parents' home long ago and not cared about this family anymore!"

"That's right, why would you stay in the Ji family and endure the bullying of this family?"

"But then again, Ji Yunchuan has been on the battlefield all year round, how could he not tolerate even this little bit of filth?"

"He even despises his own father. What a filial son!"

"If I had a son like this, I would just die instead of suffering like this."

“…”

Seeing the sighs from the crowd growing louder and louder, Ji Yunchuan felt a roar in his ears.

I know that today, the Ji family has completely lost face.

The veins on Ji Yunchuan's forehead throbbed, and he angrily shouted at the coachman beside him, "Hurry up and drive the carriage into the mansion!"

Upon hearing this, the groom said with a look of embarrassment: "Master, this carriage is too big, we can't get in!"

Ji Yunchuan was choked by his words, clenched his teeth, and said angrily: "The carriage can't get in, don't you know to find a sedan chair? Why don't you go quickly?"

After saying this, Ji Yunchuan walked away angrily, waving his sleeves amid the pointing and talking of the onlookers.

Chen glared at Shen Ningyuan, and quickly arranged for the servants to carry Ji Zehai onto the sedan chair, and followed him into the mansion.

Looking at the furious mother and son, Shen Ningyuan sneered.

"Yi Ge, let's go."

"Yes, Miss!"

Afterwards, the master and servant walked into the marquis's mansion and returned to Xiyuanju.

After making the Ji family lose face today, Shen Ningyuan just felt comfortable all over.

-

On the other hand, Ji Yunchuan's situation was not so good.

After suppressing his nausea and washing away the bad luck on his body, Ji Yunchuan eagerly came to Chen's yard.

As soon as he entered the room and saw Chen, Ji Yunchuan rudely accused her, "Mother, you are so stupid today!"

When Chen heard Ji Yunchuan's accusation, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, as if it was about to split open.

Originally, Chen felt uncomfortable when she thought about becoming the topic of conversation among others.

Now seeing Ji Yunchuan's many complaints about her, Chen couldn't hold back any longer and her eyes turned red in an instant.

She clutched her chest and cried softly, "I did all this to restore the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion. Why are you blaming me like this?"

Seeing Chen crying, Ji Yunchuan also became anxious and said hurriedly: "Mother, I don't mean to blame you, but what happened today has indeed brought shame to the Marquis' Mansion!"

Even though Ji Yunchuan softened his tone, Chen thought he was just blaming her.

He immediately pointed at Ji Yunchuan and said in dissatisfaction, "You heartless man! I gave birth to you and raised you, and now you want to blame all this on me?"

"Wow, who am I doing all this for? If it wasn't for you and the Ji family, would I have lost my composure and humiliated myself in front of so many people?"

As she spoke, Chen patted Ji Yunchuan's chest, "And you, how could you even despise your own father? He's your father!"

"Mom, please stop talking." Ji Yunchuan said embarrassedly.

Thinking of the scene of being ridiculed by everyone today, Ji Yunchuan's face turned purple.

In his entire life, has he ever lost face like this?

Ji Yunchuan's face turned cold, his brows furrowed tightly, and he reminded her in a cold voice: "Mother, don't mention what happened today again."

As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan looked at Ji Zehai, who was still unconscious on the bed, with a grim look in his eyes.

"The most urgent thing is to wait for Dad to wake up and discuss with him how to take back the position of Marquis from that bastard Ji Yunnuo!"

"You're right, we have to find a way to get the title back!"

As she spoke, Chen recalled the shocking scars on Ji Zehai's body when she changed his clothes just now, and the resentment in her heart could not stop rising.

He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "The dog emperor is a poor judge of people. Not only did he imprison your father, he also gave the title of Marquis of Anding to Ji Yunnuo!"

"Look at your father. Those people in the prison that day were determined to kill him! And that bastard Ji Yunnuo, with such a lowly status, how could he be qualified to sit on the title of Marquis."

Seeing her calling him "dog emperor" all the time, Ji Yunchuan became more and more agitated and his words became more and more incoherent.

He looked panicked and quickly stopped her: "Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? If this gets to His Majesty's ears, how many heads will our Ji family have enough to chop off?"

Chen was silenced by Ji Yunchuan's hand, and her feverish head gradually calmed down.

Thinking of his own nonsense just now, Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back and began to feel scared.

Seeing Chen like this, Ji Yunchuan was extremely grateful that he had invited the imperial physician when he left the palace.

He had just left the Ji Mansion after examining Ji Zehai.

If the imperial physician heard those words, the Ji family would be in great danger.

but……

Ji Yunchuan thought of something and glanced at the servants in the room with a sinister look, murderous intent gradually gathering in his eyes.

None of these people can be left alive!

"Someone come!"

Ji Yunchuan called out to his followers outside the house.

The attendant bowed and walked into the room, "Master, what are your instructions?"

Ji Yunchuan pointed at the servants in the room and said in a stern tone, "Deal with all the servants in this room!"

"Yes, Master!"

Upon hearing this, the servants in the room turned pale with fright, fell to their knees on the ground, and kowtowed to Ji Yunchuan, begging for mercy.

Ji Yunchuan's eyes were cold and stern, and he remained unmoved by these people's pleas for mercy.

"Only the mouths of the dead are trustworthy. It's your fault that you heard things you shouldn't have heard!"

Then he shouted at his followers, "Hurry up and drag these people away!"
