Shen Ningyuan was speechless for a moment.
He glanced at Cui Jin quietly, smacked his lips, and didn't know what to say.
She felt her mother was showing off her wealth, but she had no evidence.
"Yuan'er, listen to me. Don't sacrifice the rest of your life for the sake of a dowry. Even if you live at home for the rest of your life, I can still support you."
Seeing that Cui Jin really planned to support her for the rest of her life, Shen Ningyuan quickly held her down and said seriously, "Mom, things are not as simple as you think. Didn't you listen to what Dad said just now? The Ji family is the weaker party now, and everyone will sympathize with and pity the Ji family."
As soon as Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, Shen Haoyue took over her words and said in a deep voice: "In this situation, no matter what we do, outsiders will think that our Shen family is bullying the Ji family who just lost their son."
After hearing what the two said, Cui Jin fell silent.
After a moment, Cui Jin could no longer suppress her anger and screamed, "Then what should we do? Are we just going to watch the black-hearted Ji family abuse my Yuan'er?"
Shen Haoyue didn't say anything, but just looked at Shen Ningyuan with eyes full of heartache.
The other people also looked at Shen Ningyuan with complicated expressions.
Only Cui Mingzhu looked at Shen Ningyuan with a sinister and complacent look, snorting contemptuously from her nose.
Of all the people present, she was the only one who knew the truth best.
What will Shen Ningyuan face after returning to the Ji family?
Or in other words...how many days can he live?
At this time, Qin Lin, Shen Potian’s personal guard, ran in from outside and said with a stern face: “General, the Ji family has arranged a carriage and entered the palace!”
"What?"
Shen Potian immediately couldn't sit still, he stood up and rushed to Qin Lin, twisting Qin Lin's collar, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong, the Ji family really entered the palace?"
Qin Lin nodded calmly, raised his hand and pushed Shen Potian's hand away, "General, this is about the young lady... and the Shen family. I am not wrong. Ji Zehai really brought Chen into the palace. I estimate that they are almost at the palace gate now."
As he spoke, Qin Lin's gaze involuntarily swept towards Shen Ningyuan.
Seeing that her eyes seemed to be looking in this direction, Qin Lin immediately looked away.
"The Ji family came to the palace at this time, they must have gone to complain to the emperor!" Shen Potian angrily pounded the table with his fist and snorted, "Ji Zehai, that old guy, is still complaining to the emperor at his age."
"I despise it!"
Shen Potian raised his finger to the sky. "You want His Majesty to put pressure on me and force us to send Yuan'er back to the Ji family? Don't even think about it!"
After shouting these words, Shen Potian's old face swelled up black and red.
He barely managed to catch his breath and fell back into his chair, slumping over it and taking a deep breath.
"Daddy, are you okay?"
Shen Ningyuan was startled and quickly ran over to help Shen Potian calm down.
Then he asked Cui Jin who was standing beside him, "Mother, what happened to father?"
Cui Jin frowned slightly, but quickly returned to normal. He said in a cheerful tone, "This is an old ailment of your father's. He fought in the frontiers for many years, and the wind and sand damaged his lungs. It wasn't obvious when he was young, but now that he's older, the symptoms are becoming more apparent."
"Really?" Shen Ningyuan was a little unconvinced.
Cui Jin nodded heavily, "Of course it's true. How could mother lie to you about this?"
Although Cui Jin spoke frankly, Shen Ningyuan still had doubts in her heart. She always felt that her father's health was not as easy as her mother said.
But it doesn’t matter. If my parents don’t want to tell me, it means the time is not right yet.
She'll know later.
After Shen Potian recovered, Shen Ningyuan suddenly looked at Qin Lin and asked seriously, "Besides Chen, who else did Ji Zehai bring with him when he entered the palace?"
Being stared at by Shen Ningyuan, Qin Lin seemed a little nervous, with a strange blush on his face.
But it was only a moment, and Qin Lin returned to normal, answering Shen Ningyuan's words, "Miss, besides Chen, there seems to be another nanny. I heard Chen call her Nanny Ming..."
"Madame Ming?" Shen Ningyuan's eyes widened in shock.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan so surprised, Cui Jin asked nervously, "Yuan'er, who is this Aunt Ming?"
Shen Ningyuan frowned and said truthfully: "Madame Ming is the head nanny in my courtyard. Why did Chen bring her into the palace?"
Cui Jin was also a little confused and asked suspiciously, "Indeed, if you are going to the palace to file a complaint, why bring a nanny with you?"
After a moment of stalemate, Shen Ningyuan suddenly reacted, "I know what the Ji family wants to do!"
"What does the Ji family want to do?" Cui Jin asked nervously.
But after taking a look at Cui Mingzhu, Shen Ningyuan chose to remain silent.
Cui Mingzhu is still here, so she definitely can't say it now.
"Yuan'er, tell me quickly, are you trying to make your mother anxious to death?" Cui Jin poked Shen Ningyuan.
Cui Mingzhu also twisted her handkerchief nervously, her eyes fixed on Shen Ningyuan.
She just didn't believe it.
Shen Ningyuan, this bitch, could even foresee the Ji family's plan.
While Cui Mingzhu was staring at Shen Ningyuan, the latter was also staring at her out of the corner of his eye.
After seeing the calculation in Cui Mingzhu's eyes, Shen Ningyuan pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Mom, I'm not really sure. Anyway, the Ji family summoned Ming Ma from my courtyard to the palace. They must have bad intentions. I guess it won't be long before we have to enter the palace too."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan shrugged, looking very helpless.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan's reaction, Cui Mingzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She was saying, how could Shen Ningyuan be so prophetic and foresee the Ji family's conspiracy in advance?
When Cui Jin heard that she was going to enter the palace, she immediately became excited and said, "Let's go to the palace!"
