At this time, Lan Yin and Lu Ying heard the noise in the back garden and hurried over here.
Pushing through the crowd, they saw Shen Ningyuan sitting on the shore, soaking wet. They were so anxious that they almost shed tears.
"Young Madam!"
The two of them said in unison, running towards Shen Ningyuan eagerly.
Lan Yin helped Shen Ningyuan up, and Lu Ying took off her coat and covered Shen Ningyuan with it.
"Young Madam, are you okay?" Lan Yin asked with concern.
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan shook her head and said softly: “I’m fine, she’s the one who’s in trouble.”
Shen Ningyuan's gaze fell on the crowd gathered on the other side.
Lan Yin and Lu Ying immediately turned their gaze and saw Ji Yunhuan lying unconscious on the ground.
"Miss!" Lan Yin exclaimed, "What happened to her?"
Shen Ningyuan responded in a low voice, "Dead."
"Dead?" Lan Yin was even more surprised. "How did he die?"
"Drowned." Shen Ningyuan's tone was still calm.
"How could he drown in the lake in the back garden?" Lan Yin asked puzzledly.
But on second thought, Lan Yin suddenly remembered something and immediately shut her mouth.
Looking at Shen Ningyuan's strange expression, Lan Yin obviously guessed something.
At this time, Chen was finally awakened by everyone.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Chen saw Ji Yunhuan lying unconscious on the ground and immediately pounced on him.
"Huan'er!"
Chen let out a wail.
"My daughter! Wake up quickly and open your eyes to look at your mother!"
Chen pounced on Ji Yunhuan and shook her body vigorously, trying to wake her up.
But no matter how she called, Ji Yunhuan did not open his eyes.
Chen was born wailing, with tears and snot all over her face.
She never thought that the person who died in the end would be Ji Yunhuan!
Suddenly, Chen thought of something, looked up and glanced around, and finally saw Shen Ningyuan protected by Lan Yin and Lu Ying on the shore.
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan was safe and sound, the hatred in Chen's eyes immediately burst out.
Chen stood up suddenly and pointed at Shen Ningyuan's nose, "Bitch! Why aren't you dead!"
As she spoke, Chen raised her hand high and slapped Shen Ningyuan in the face.
Before her hand fell, Chen's wrist was grabbed by someone.
Seeing this, Chen's eyes widened and she angrily scolded, "You bitch, how dare you grab my hand!"
Lan Yin snorted coldly, shook Chen's hand away, and snorted: "I am the young lady's servant, so of course I have to protect her. You want to hit my master? No way!"
"This is outrageous!" Chen roared angrily, "How dare a slave like you ride on my neck and act wildly!"
Without saying a word, Chen raised her hand again and slapped Lan Yin in the face.
This time, she still failed.
When the slap was about to fall, Shen Ningyuan grabbed Chen.
He asked word by word, "May I ask, mother-in-law, what is the reason for hitting me?"
Chen glared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely, gritting her teeth, and asked viciously: "You killed Huan'er, why can't I beat you!"
"What evidence do you have to prove that I killed Ji Yunhuan?" Shen Ningyuan asked coldly.
At this moment, Chen's mind was already filled with hatred. She stared at Shen Ningyuan with a sinister look and said without thinking, "You and Huan'er are the only ones in the back garden. You are alive and well, but Huan'er was drowned. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan laughed directly and shook Chen's hand away heavily.
He snorted coldly, "Just because I'm still alive and well, it means I killed Ji Yunhuan. Where does this logic come from?"
"There was a snake incident in the ancestral hall just now. Many servants saw it. Huan'er left the ancestral hall with you. Why did Huan'er drown as soon as he reached the back garden?"
"How should I know? My sister-in-law and I walked to the ancestral hall, and I didn't ask her to see me off. Who knows why my sister-in-law suddenly appeared in the back garden? And she drowned in Heli!"
“I don’t care!” Chen pointed at Shen Ningyuan’s nose again, “Shen Ningyuan, I have reason to suspect that you are the one who killed Huan’er!”
Seeing Chen's mindless question, Shen Ningyuan sneered and asked in a cold voice: "After my husband's funeral in two days, my sister-in-law will go to the temple to become a nun and will never be able to return to the capital. I will not see her in the future in the Marquis' Mansion, and she will not affect my life. What reason do I have to harm her?"
Chen was suddenly choked and couldn't find any words to refute.
Yes, to the outside world, Ji Yunhuan was going to be sent to a temple to become a monk.
From now on, Shen Ningyuan will never have to see Ji Yunhuan again in her life, and she has no reason to harm her.
Seeing that Chen Shi didn't say anything, Shen Ningyuan continued to ask, "As far as I know, my sister-in-law should be confined to her own yard at this time. Why did she leave the yard? And what a coincidence, she came to my yard and told me that there was a snake in the ancestral hall?"
With this series of questions, Chen became even more confused.
You can't tell everyone that they planned it and wanted Ji Yunhuan to kill Shen Ningyuan, so they couldn't let Ji Yunhuan go, right?
Watching Chen's expression change again and again, Shen Ningyuan sneered in her heart, "Mother-in-law, it's time to discipline the servants of our Marquis' Mansion. While the eldest lady was under house arrest, she suddenly ran to the back garden and lost her life. These servants must be severely punished!"
As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan glanced around coldly and asked in a deep voice, "Who is guarding the young lady's yard tonight? Stand up and accept the punishment!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two servants knelt on the ground with a plop.
A servant pleaded loudly, "Young Madam, we are the two guarding the young lady's yard tonight, but we can guarantee that the young lady has not left through the main gate!"
