Stared at by Ji Yunhuan with questioning eyes, Chen seemed to feel a little guilty and did not dare to look him in the eye.
At this time, Uncle Chen said in a deep voice, "Huan'er, just listen to your mother. Will your mother harm you?"
Ji Yunhuan was also anxious, "But uncle, if someone sees me, I'll be completely finished!"
Hearing this, Chen immediately assured him, "Huan'er, don't worry. When you make your move, I will clear everyone in the backyard so no one will see you!"
Uncle Chen then echoed, "Right, right, right. Send everyone away and no one will see us!"
The two looked at Ji Yunhuan anxiously, fearing that she would change her mind at the last minute.
Seeing Ji Yunhuan remained silent, Chen held her hand again and said seriously, "Huan'er, you should know better than anyone that as long as Shen Ningyuan is not dead, she will never give up. She will definitely force your father to send you to the temple to become a nun."
Ji Yunhuan's eyes trembled.
Seeing that she seemed to be loosening up, Chen raised her hand and made a gesture of wiping her neck, and said coldly: "So, Shen Ningyuan must die!"
Ji Yunhuan's eyes trembled again, and he stared at Chen in a daze.
…
At this time, Shen Ningyuan also got the news that Chen had taken Uncle Chen to Ji Yunhuan’s yard.
Lan Yin frowned and looked at Shen Ningyuan nervously, "Miss, Chen Shi just stopped taking blood ginseng and bird's nests from you. She didn't come to you first, but went to Ji Yunhuan's yard instead. I think there must be something fishy going on."
Shen Ningyuan curled her lips and sneered, "Of course she won't come to me. What she wanted to calculate from the beginning was my life."
"Miss, I don't understand." Lan Yin looked puzzled and asked, "If Chen wanted to plot against you, why did she go to Ji Yunhuan?"
"A selfish mother and a stupid and brainless daughter, what do you think?" Shen Ningyuan curled her lips and raised her eyebrows to look at Lan Yin.
Hearing this, Lan Yin was still a little confused.
Seeing that she didn't understand, Shen Ningyuan patiently explained: "You just returned to the Marquis' Mansion and don't know that Chen instructed Ji Yunhuan to poison me at the funeral, so it's normal that you don't know."
"What?" Lan Yin was shocked again. "Poisoning at a funeral? How dare they do that? It was at my uncle's funeral. Aren't they afraid of being exposed?"
"Of course they are not afraid of being exposed. They are just afraid that they can't poison me to death."
“…”
Lan Yin was speechless again, opening her mouth not knowing what to say.
Obviously, she didn't expect that such great changes would take place in the Marquis' Mansion in just one year.
The Ji family's calculations on Shen Ningyuan have risen from money to human life.
"What should we do then?" Lan Yin looked at Shen Ningyuan with worry.
Shen Ningyuan spoke in a low voice, with a hint of determination in his eyes, "Just wait, it won't be long before Ji Yunhuan comes to me on his own."
Although Chen Ningyuan looked calm, Lan Yin was still worried, fearing that something might happen to Chen Ningyuan.
Two hours passed, but it was still dusk and the sun had not yet set.
Lan Yin kept pacing in the yard, not daring to leave at all.
She was afraid that the Ji family would take advantage of her inattention and do something to hurt Shen Ningyuan.
After a while, just as Shen Ningyuan had finished dinner, Ji Yunhuan ran to Xiyuanju with an anxious look on his face.
As soon as he entered the room, he put his hand on Lan Yin's sleeve and said, "Hurry up, ask my sister-in-law to go to the ancestral hall and take a look. I don't know what's going on, but there are suddenly so many snakes around my brother's coffin!"
Lan Yin was stunned. "What? Miss, please explain clearly. Isn't there someone watching over the ancestral hall? How did a snake suddenly enter?"
Ji Yunhuan quickly explained, "We don't know either. The servants guarding the ancestral hall haven't left, but a lot of snakes have inexplicably appeared around the coffin, as if..."
"Like what?" Lan Yin asked quickly.
Ji Yunhuan replied in panic, "It's like it appeared out of thin air!"
"!" Lan Yin was so shocked that she dared not speak.
Ji Yunhuan continued speaking in a mysterious tone, "I think that this is my eldest brother's spirit in heaven, unable to rest in peace, that he deliberately possessed the snake and came to the Marquis' Mansion to warn my sister-in-law. After all, what my sister-in-law has done to the Ji family during this period is really too much!"
"Impossible!" Lan Yin denied it without even thinking, "This is sheer nonsense!"
Hearing this, Ji Yunhuan glared at Lan Yin warningly and said quietly, "If it wasn't my eldest brother's spirit appearing, how can you explain why the coffin was surrounded by snakes instead of other animals? My eldest brother's zodiac sign is the snake, you know that, right?"
“…”
Lan Yin was speechless. She glanced at Ji Yunhuan hesitantly, then immediately turned and walked towards Shen Ningyuan's room.
Who knew that just as I walked up the stairs, the door opened with a creak.
Shen Ningyuan appeared in the door with a very calm expression.
As soon as she saw Shen Ningyuan, Lan Yin quickly said, "Young Madam, over at the ancestral hall—"
"Don't worry, I've heard it."
Shen Ningyuan's expression was still calm, as if she was talking about something insignificant.
Ji Yunhuan kept staring at Shen Ningyuan's face, and seeing her expression so calm, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
This Shen Ningyuan is a little too calm.
Why didn't she react at all when she heard that her eldest brother's coffin was surrounded by snakes?
While Ji Yunhuan was suspicious, Shen Ningyuan had already closed the door and walked down the stairs to Ji Yunhuan.
He asked coldly, "Aren't you under house arrest?"
Ji Yunhuan paused, then explained sheepishly, "I was confined to the courtyard, but when I heard there were a lot of snakes surrounding my eldest brother's coffin, I got anxious and ran over to inform my sister-in-law."
