Chen Ningyuan helped Cui Jin get off the carriage. Cui Jin looked at the plaque of the villa and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Yuan'er, why did you bring mother here?" Cui Jin asked.
"Mom, you'll know if you follow me in."
As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan's face darkened, and he reminded her seriously: "Mom, be mentally prepared."
Seeing her so serious, Cui Jin became even more confused.
"Yuan'er, you're so serious. Is there someone in the other courtyard that you're afraid of meeting?"
"Mom, you'll know when you get in."
Before Cui Jin met Cui Mingzhu, Shen Ningyuan didn't want to say too much.
Cui Jin didn't ask any more questions, and quietly followed Shen Ningyuan into the gate of the villa.
After entering the villa, Cui Jin inexplicably began to get nervous.
But when she turned around, Shen Ningyuan's face was indifferent, as if she was indifferent.
Cui Jin frowned, feeling even more uneasy.
As they approached a door, Cui Jin felt even more uneasy.
Shen Ningyuan lowered her head and whispered, "Mom, Cui Mingzhu is in there, you... go in and take a look."
"What?" Cui Jin was surprised: "Mingzhu is in there? Wasn't she killed by Ji Yunchuan?"
"Mom, you'll know if you go in and take a look."
Cui Jin didn't hesitate and quickly opened the door.
The moment the door opened, Cui Jin panicked.
Lying on the bed was a man who was so thin that he was almost skin and bones.
Although he had changed into clean clothes, one could still barely see that the man was covered in scars.
After seeing the other person's face clearly, Cui Jin panicked and quickly ran to the bed, "Mingzhu!"
Cui Jin held Cui Mingzhu's thin hand, tears welling up in her eyes, "Mingzhu, how could you become like this?"
Hearing Cui Jin's voice, Cui Mingzhu opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw that it was Cui Jin, her eyes lit up instantly.
She wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.
She could only hold on tighter, holding Cui Jin's hand tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing Cui Mingzhu like this, Cui Jin immediately panicked and choked up, "Mingzhu, how could you become like this?"
Cui Mingzhu shook her head, as if she wanted to tell Cui Jin about her grievances, but she couldn't say a word.
Cui Jin turned around, looked at Shen Ningyuan, and asked in a trembling voice: "Yuan'er, how could Mingzhu become like this?"
Shen Ningyuan slowly took two steps forward and whispered, “Mom, she is even more miserable than what you see now.”
"What do you mean?" Cui Jin's voice trembled.
Shen Ningyuan did not respond. She reached out and pinched Cui Mingzhu's chin, forcing her to open her mouth.
Cui Jin's face was filled with panic, and her voice trembled even more. "Her tongue was cut off?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded and released Cui Mingzhu’s chin.
"Who cut it?" Cui Jin asked excitedly.
Cui Mingzhu's eyes hardened, and he raised his hand tremblingly, wanting to point out Shen Ningyuan.
But the next second, Shen Ningyuan said directly: "I."
The tone was indifferent, as if he was narrating an insignificant matter.
Cui Jin's body softened, and he looked at Shen Ningyuan in disbelief, and asked incoherently: "Yuan'er, tell me, why did you cut off Mingzhu's tongue?"
Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Jin and said word by word: "Mother, before you entered the courtyard, I asked you to be mentally prepared."
Cui Jin nodded, "Mother knows, but Mingzhu's situation..."
Cui Jin wanted to speak but was interrupted by Shen Ningyuan.
"Mom, you promised me that no matter what happens, you will stand by me."
Cui Jin paused, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
