“Ahhhh!”
“Murder!”
"The young lady of the Ji family has killed someone!"
Screams rang out one after another.
In the huge Pepper Room, many palace servants subconsciously retreated to the corner out of fear.
Chen was so frightened that she shrank behind Ji Zehai, her whole body shaking.
When He Yunshu heard the scream, she immediately stopped and turned around to look in confusion.
The next second, He Yunshu's pupils suddenly shrank.
From her perspective, Shen Ningyuan looked like the god of death from hell, standing behind Lin Shu with an expressionless face.
The silver hairpin in his hand had pierced Lin Shu's throat, and streams of blood kept coming out of Lin Shu's mouth.
Lin Shu covered his pierced neck and looked at Shen Ningyuan in despair, "Why, why do you want to... kill me first?"
Shen Ningyuan's tone was cold, "Because you just called me 'Yuan'er', it disgusted me."
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan pulled out the silver hairpin and made up for it from the side.
“Hmm—”
Lin Shu's eyes widened, his neck tilted, and he was no longer breathing the next second.
Shen Ningyuan pulled out the bloody silver hairpin and threw it lightly to the ground. Lin Shu's body fell directly to the ground.
The hairpin fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
But it was like a huge hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
Song Yan'er stared at Shen Ningyuan, unable to recover for a long time.
This was the first time she saw Shen Ningyuan kill someone.
The moment when she raised the hairpin and stabbed it towards the tree has always lingered in her mind.
She had never thought that women in this world could be as clean and efficient as men.
Even He Yunshu, who was used to big scenes, slowly came to her senses at this time.
Then, He Yunshu heard her own trembling voice, "Chen, Chen Ningyuan, how dare you kill someone in my palace's Pepper Room!"
Shen Ningyuan turned around, and the hand that had just killed someone was still dripping with blood.
She looked up at He Yunshu and said, "Didn't Her Majesty just say that I can deal with these two servants who betrayed and slandered me?"
"I did tell you to deal with it, but I didn't ask you to kill anyone in the Pepper Palace!" He Yunshu was so anxious that she almost vomited blood.
She felt that Shen Ningyuan did it on purpose, but she had no evidence.
"But the Queen didn't say that we can't kill people here." Shen Ningyuan said in a respectful tone.
"You--" He Yunshu was extremely angry, but she couldn't say anything to refute.
Now that the emperor is still wary of the Shen family, she can't do anything to Shen Ningyuan.
Thinking of this, He Yunshu took a deep breath and ordered the palace servants in a cold voice, "You guys, drag the body away. I won't live in this Pepper Room anymore!"
After saying that, He Yunshu glared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely, then turned around and left angrily.
She never dreamed that being scolded by Cui Jin and crying ten years ago would be fine.
Ten years later, he was forced to move out of the Pepper Palace by Cui Jin's daughter!
Did she owe them and their daughter a lot of money in her previous life?
I will chase her to collect the debt for the rest of my life!
After He Yunshu left, the Pepper Room was quiet for a moment.
Then, two palace servants came over and carefully dragged the body away.
Nanny Ming knelt on the ground, looking sideways at Lin Shu's body as it was dragged past her.
Some inexplicable thoughts flashed through his cloudy eyes.
At this moment, a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes suddenly stopped in front of her.
Nanny Ming raised her head and saw Shen Ningyuan, with an expressionless face, looking down at her condescendingly.
This scene is so similar to the previous one.
But at this moment, Nanny Ming's back was obviously not as straight as before.
The whole person hunched over, as if all his energy had been drained away in an instant.
"Young Madam."
After a while, Nanny Ming finally found her voice.
Shen Ningyuan squatted down.
She tilted her head, with a hint of confusion on her face, and looked at Nanny Ming quietly.
"Mammy." Shen Ningyuan called softly.
Hearing this name, the corners of Aunt Ming's eyes instantly turned red.
Finally, he dared to look up and look directly into Shen Ningyuan's eyes.
But after meeting her eyes, he quickly lowered his head.
"Mammy, I can't figure it out." Shen Ningyuan murmured in a low voice.
"Just a few days ago, we were fine. You made a lot of shrimp dumplings for me and Little Bean."
When saying this, Shen Ningyuan's face was still cold and her tone was calm.
It seemed like he was just complaining about a trivial matter.
Listening to Shen Ningyuan's accusations, Aunt Ming couldn't help but shed tears.
She choked and shook her head, "Young Madam, please don't say anymore. It is this old servant who has let you down."
Chen Ningyuan didn't stop and continued, "Mammy knows that I like to drink before going to bed, so every year when the peach blossoms bloom, you will carry a bamboo basket to the mountain to pick peach blossoms, brew a few jars of pear blossom white for me, and bury them under the albizzia tree in the yard."
Nanny Ming was sobbing and incoherent, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Shen Ningyuan repeatedly, "Young Madam, please stop talking, it is this old slave who has wronged you... Please, stop talking."
"Mammy, I don't understand. You've been so good to me, so why would you... betray me?"
When asking this question, Shen Ningyuan's face remained calm.
Then he stopped talking and just looked at Nanny Ming quietly, waiting for her answer.
Nanny Ming continued to kowtow, her voice choked with sobs, "Young Madam, I am sorry for you. I was forced to do this. If I didn't do this, my daughter would—"
"Madame Ming!"
Before Nanny Ming could finish her words, she was interrupted by Chen's sudden shout.
Shen Ningyuan turned around and saw Chen glaring at Nanny Ming viciously, her eyes full of intimidation.
