As soon as Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, Chen subconsciously covered her mouth.
When she realized that she was actually stunned by Chen Ningyuan's words, she felt ashamed for a moment, but her tongue seemed to be really pulled out by someone. Chen shuddered and felt an inexplicable pain at the root of her tongue.
Ji Yunchuan suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his hand, wanting to teach Shen Ningyuan a lesson.
Shen Ningyuan didn't even blink. Just when Ji Yunchuan's hand was about to fall on her face, she grabbed his wrist and kicked his knee with her right foot. Ji Yunchuan immediately knelt on his knees.
Ji Yunchuan felt pain, raised his head and glared at Chen Ningyuan fiercely, then saw Chen Ningyuan lean over slightly and meet his eyes.
But just this one glance made Ji Yunchuan stand there in a daze.
In the past, Shen Ningyuan always lowered her head and looked submissive in front of him, which made him feel dull and boring.
Therefore, when the charming Cui Mingzhu came to him, he could not resist the temptation and secretly had an affair with Cui Mingzhu.
But since when, Shen Ningyuan is no longer as obedient as before. Looking at her now beautiful face, Ji Yunchuan feels itchy in his heart.
Shen Ningyuan noticed the obsession in Ji Yunchuan's eyes and couldn't help but frowned in disgust.
Chen, who was standing by, came to her senses when she saw Ji Yunchuan being kicked to the ground by Shen Ningyuan. Her arrogance, which had subsided, instantly exploded again.
She quickly helped Ji Yunchuan up, and then angrily scolded Shen Ningyuan: "Shen Ningyuan, you knew that Chuan'er had an injury on his leg, but you still deliberately kicked him in the sore spot. Are you trying to murder your husband?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled softly and said with a hint of meaning: "Madam Ji, today, why don't you ask your son, who is his husband?"
Hearing the hidden meaning in Shen Ningyuan's words, Chen and Ji Yunchuan's pupils shrank uncontrollably almost at the same time, and they were frightened.
Ji Yunchuan couldn't help but wonder if Shen Ningyuan already knew about what happened between him and Cui Mingzhu?
Shen Ningyuan looked at the guilty look on the two people's faces, and her clear eyes were filled with chills.
"A few days ago, my cousin suddenly disappeared. My mother was extremely worried and sent a large number of people to search for her everywhere."
Shen Ningyuan's eyes turned slightly, and she looked directly at Ji Yunchuan, who was avoiding her gaze. "Speaking of my cousin, I think you are not unfamiliar with her. Or rather, you may be more familiar with her than I am."
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan denied it without a second thought: "Your cousin and I only met from a distance a few times before, and we didn't even say hello a few times, so how can we talk about whether we are familiar with each other or not!"
"Really?" Chen Ningyuan smiled and gestured to Yi Ge, "Go and get that thing and let General Ji take a good look at it."
Seeing the master and servant pretending to be mysterious, Ji Yunchuan was in a state of confusion. His intuition told him that what Shen Ningyuan wanted to show him was definitely not a good thing.
Yi Ge quickly came over with a pitch-black box. Looking at the box covered with patterns, Ji Yunchuan's mind buzzed and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
When Chen saw Ji Yunchuan's lips turned pale with nervousness when he saw the box, she immediately protected Ji Yunchuan and did not let Yi Ge get any closer.
"Chen Ningyuan, what exactly are you going to do?" She looked at Chen Ningyuan warily.
Shen Ningyuan sneered, her eyes growing colder. "It's nothing, just letting General Ji see his unborn child. But since Madam Ji is standing in the way, it's the same if I let you see him first."
Yi Ge understood what Chen Ningyuan meant, stepped forward, placed the box on the ground, and then opened the box in front of Chen.
Chen's mind had already gone blank from the shock of Shen Ningyuan's previous words. She followed Yi Ge's movements and looked inside the box.
After seeing clearly what was in the box, he screamed in horror the next second.
"ah!"
She kicked the box away, and the contents fell to the ground.
When the servants around saw the bloody baby corpse on the ground, they immediately turned pale with fright, and bursts of screams instantly rang out around Xiyuanju.
At this time, Ji Yunchuan was already so frightened that his limbs went limp when he smelled the fishy odor.
Suppressing his inner fear, Ji Yunchuan asked with chattering teeth, "What's your intention in bringing out this thing and playing tricks on me?"
Seeing that he was still trying to be stubborn even at this point, Shen Ningyuan said sternly, "What is this? Don't you know better than me?"
"That day, you brutally murdered Cui Mingzhu, not even caring about your own flesh and blood. How could a shameless, dishonest person like you still dream of the title of Marquis of Anding?"
Hearing Shen Ningyuan talking about the title, Chen's originally chaotic mind instantly became clear.
She pointed at Chen Ningyuan and argued urgently, "What evidence do you have to prove that this is Chuan'er's child? You actually want to use this unclear thing to frame my son, Chen Ningyuan, you really are a vicious woman!"
After hearing this, Ji Yunchuan gradually regained consciousness.
Yes, he had killed Cui Mingzhu that day, and she would definitely not survive. Even if this thing was his own flesh and blood, there would be no evidence now. Shen Ningyuan must be trying to trick him into admitting the crime.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan stiffened his neck and grinned grimly, "My mother is right, Shen Ningyuan, can you produce evidence to prove it? Framing one's own husband is a serious crime punishable by death. I will file a complaint before His Majesty and let His Majesty judge what your Shen family's intentions are."
Seeing Ji Yunchuan's fearless look, Shen Ningyuan forced a cold smile: "Ji Yunchuan, do you really think Cui Mingzhu is dead?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunchuan's face turned pale.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly as she sarcastically said, "You thought you were dead and had no evidence, but haven't you ever considered how I knew about your affair? You did kill her that day, and my mother used up all the elixirs she had treasured for years to finally revive Cui Mingzhu."
Ji Yunchuan froze in place, and subconsciously said, "Impossible, I clearly..."
Before he finished speaking, seeing Shen Ningyuan's smiling expression without saying anything, Ji Yunchuan realized that he had spoken out of turn.
"Aren't you going to go before His Majesty and have your say? I think today is worse than tomorrow. Let's go to the palace and have a good discussion today."
When Ji Yunchuan heard this, his scalp went numb and his fingers couldn't help but spasm.
"No! No way! Chen Ningyuan, Cui Mingzhu has also wronged you. Why do you have to stand up for her like this?" Chen on the side hurriedly grabbed Chen Ningyuan's sleeve.
"My dear Yuan'er, it's my son who has wronged you, but a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. Are you really going to put your husband to death for an outsider?"
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan was still indifferent, Chen gritted her teeth and said, “As long as you promise not to pursue this matter, my Ji family will agree to whatever you want.”
Seeing that the fish finally took the bait, Shen Ningyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly.
