Seeing the gloomy look on his second brother's face, Shen Ningyuan guessed what he was worried about.
He sighed silently and spoke in comfort.
"Brother, what you're worried about won't happen. I will protect myself. Don't forget, I'm the daughter of a great general who protects the country. How could I not be able to protect myself?"
When Shen Haoyue heard this, instead of feeling relieved, he became even more worried.
Shen Ningyuan used to be a spoiled and willful person, doing things as she pleased, completely according to her own wishes.
But now, she has become so sensible. I don’t know how much suffering she has endured in the process.
Shen Haoyue was silent for a while, and reminded him again and again.
"The Ji family is on its last legs. Everything they have done is a capital crime. You must be careful in everything you do while in the Ji Mansion."
Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and the smile on her face disappeared completely.
"Don't worry, I will never put myself in danger. Even if you don't trust me, you have to trust the secret guards you have arranged in the dark."
Although after what happened yesterday, Shen Ningyuan didn't know where those secret guards were?
But I didn’t tell the truth to my second brother from the beginning. I decided to keep it a secret for as long as I could!
Shen Ningyuan thought so in her heart.
Thinking of the person he was secretly protecting, Shen Haoyue's expression eased a little.
"No matter what the circumstances, promise me that you will protect yourself."
In recent days, Shen Ningyuan has heard these words so many times that her ears are callused.
He waved his hand impatiently.
"knew!"
Seeing that he had explained almost everything, Shen Haoyue stood up and prepared to leave.
However, just as he was about to cross the threshold, he seemed to suddenly think of something and stopped.
He turned around and looked at Shen Ningyuan steadily.
Asked suddenly.
"By the way, has Xie Wanzhou come to see you privately these days?"
Shen Ningyuan's heart skipped a beat.
Why did my second brother mention Xie Wanzhou?
How could he know about her and Xie Wanzhou?
Did someone around you secretly inform on me?
Should, shouldn’t it be!
Shen Ningyuan thought with some uncertainty.
But no matter how turbulent the waves in his heart were, he still looked calm and composed.
He frowned casually, looking at Shen Haoyue in confusion with a look of surprise.
"Second brother, what do you mean by that? Why would Xie Wanzhou come to me privately? I've only met him a few times and we're not familiar with each other in private."
Seeing her indifferent expression, Shen Haoyue muttered in his heart, was it really that he was overthinking?
He knew exactly what his sister's temper and personality were like.
Plus, Shen Ningyuan is not good at lying at all.
Shen Haoyue immediately put away all his thoughts, nodded lightly, and smiled faintly.
"Nothing, just a casual question."
Chen Ningyuan accompanied him to the gate of An Ninghou Mansion, and only turned back home after his second brother got on the carriage.
But the moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared completely.
Lan Yin noticed that the young lady's face had turned cold, and asked cautiously.
"Miss, what did the Second Young Master say..."
However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a cold voice.
"Have you conveyed my instructions to Ji Yunnuo? What was his reaction?"
Seeing that the young lady changed the subject, Lan Yin stopped worrying about the second young master.
He looked stunned and spoke uncertainly.
"Master Ji didn't give an accurate answer. I guess we should investigate."
Shen Ningyuan was not surprised by this.
As a bastard's son, Ji Yunnuo has always been the ignored one in the mansion.
If Ji Yunchuan had not committed a serious crime, how could the title of Marquis of An Ning have fallen upon him?
I'm just used to being timid, so it's normal not to believe such shocking news.
It would be a good idea to investigate.
Ji Yunnuo is doing pretty well in the Marquis of An Ning's mansion.
Otherwise, Shen Ningyuan would not have planned this for him.
Although the situation is complicated, there are certain situations where things go smoothly.
But it is undeniable that after Shen Ningyuan married into the An Ning Marquis Mansion, Ji Yunnuo did not target her openly, but instead helped her secretly several times.
Shen Ningyuan's doing this can be considered as returning a favor.
Just when Shen Ningyuan mentioned Ji Yunnuo, he had just come out of the Ji family's old house.
Ji Yunnuo's face was tense, making it impossible to guess what he was feeling.
It was not until he sat in the carriage that his stiff back relaxed a little and he slumped down in the carriage.
At this moment, Ji Yunnuo was recalling the scene of threatening and bribing the patriarch just now.
Although his relationship with his clan had reached a freezing point after this incident, or even broken down, he did not regret it.
In his opinion, as long as the goal is achieved, it's fine.
What Ji Yunchuan is doing now is definitely a capital crime that will cost him his life.
Even if one thing is not handled properly, the entire Ji family and others will be implicated.
Of course, if Ji Yunchuan's plan succeeds, it will also allow the entire Ji family to soar to a high position.
But the possibility is very small.
Ji Yunnuo would never gamble on that one in ten thousand possibility.
The most important thing is that Ji Yunnuo believed in Shen Ningyuan, and followed the information and clues she gave and the situation she investigated.
This made him even more certain that Ji Yunchuan was courting his own destruction by doing this.
Before the incident gets exposed, cut ties with the Ji family as soon as possible.
We broke off all ties from then on.
