After saying that, Ji Zehai turned around and walked out of the back garden without even looking at Ji Yunhuan.
But when passing by Chen, Ji Zehai glanced at her and Uncle Chen coldly, with a hint of shame and anger in his eyes.
Such a look really scared Chen.
He didn't care about Ji Yunhuan anymore and immediately turned around to chase after Ji Zehai.
Before leaving, he reminded Uncle Chen, "I'll leave this to you!"
Then he left the back garden.
Shen Ningyuan looked at their backs as they left, and a chill inexplicably arose in her heart.
Shen Ningyuan heard clearly what the couple had just said.
Ji Zehai's cold tone made it seem as if Ji Yunhuan was just an insignificant person and Ji Yunhuan's life or death had no effect on him at all.
As for Chen, she actually cared a little about Ji Yunhuan.
However, in front of her husband, her daughter seems less important.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but feel depressed.
She knew that the Ji family was ruthless and unrighteous.
But I didn't expect that they were so heartless that they didn't even care about the death of their own daughter.
Shen Ningyuan retracted her gaze and fixed it on Ji Yunhuan, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
She really wanted to know if Ji Yunhuan's soul was also nearby.
Seeing the attitudes of Ji Zehai and Chen, would he regret listening to Chen's instigation and attacking her?
If she had waited quietly for the funeral and then gone to the temple to become a nun, she might not have died at her hands.
Thinking about it, Shen Ningyuan sighed and said to Lan Yin and Lu Ying beside him: "No need to watch, let's go back."
"Yes, miss."
The two of them said in unison, supporting the cold Shen Ningyuan and walking towards the exit of the back garden.
Unexpectedly, they had only taken two steps when Uncle Chen blocked their way.
"The eldest lady's death has not been fully clarified yet, Madam, you can't leave!"
Shen Ningyuan raised her head coldly, her eyes fixed on Uncle Chen, and asked in a deep voice, "You still insist that I was the one who killed Ji Yunhuan?"
"That's not what I meant. It's just that the eldest lady was with you before she died." Chen said firmly.
It looked like he was determined to drag Shen Ningyuan into the water.
Of course Shen Ningyuan knew his little thoughts and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
Uncle Chen, relying on his relationship with the Chen family, takes himself too seriously.
She had originally thought of not touching Uncle Chen for the time being.
Now it seems that we have no choice but to move!
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan didn't speak, Uncle Chen thought she had given in, and immediately continued: "So Madam, you should wait here. Wait until I figure things out, and then you can go back and rest!"
Before Shen Ningyuan could even begin to speak, Lan Yin jumped out, pointing at Uncle Chen and cursing, "You old bastard! Didn't you see that the young lady was soaked to the skin in order to save the eldest lady? You deliberately let the young lady blow the cold wind here and let her catch a cold, didn't you?"
"How can a scumbag like you be qualified to be the accountant of the Marquis' Mansion? Go to hell!" Lan Yin became more and more angry. "You still want to let the young lady sit here in the cold wind? Be careful or I'll pick up a stone and smash it on your head!"
After saying that, Lan Yin glared at Uncle Chen fiercely, and without saying anything, she helped Shen Ningyuan walk forward.
When passing by Uncle Chen, Luying also glared at Uncle Chen fiercely.
It seemed as if she would rush up and tear his mouth apart if he dared to speak nonsense again.
Uncle Chen looked at the three people who just walked past him and was so angry.
"Someone, come and stop the young lady!" Uncle Chen ordered coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, two servants ran over and stopped Shen Ningyuan and the other two.
Shen Ningyuan stopped, turned around and stared at Uncle Chen calmly, with an expression that couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.
She opened her red lips slightly and said in a cold voice, "Chen Jichang, are you sure you want to stop me?"
Chen Jichang is Uncle Chen's full name.
Now that Chen Ningyuan called out his full name in public, Uncle Chen looked a little embarrassed.
Still gritting his teeth, he said, "The eldest lady's death is too strange. We have to wait until the matter is thoroughly investigated before we can let the young lady go back."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan suddenly laughed.
He let go of Lan Yin and Lu Ying's hands and walked up to Uncle Chen.
In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he whispered, "Chen Jichang, Ji Yunhuan told me everything you and your mother-in-law said to her when you went to Ji Yunhuan's yard this afternoon."
Uncle Chen's pupils shrank.
Shen Ningyuan continued slowly: “You used coercion and inducement to force Ji Yunhuan to attack me.”
"You first deliberately caused a snake plague in the ancestral hall and had Ji Yunhuan bring me to the ancestral hall. Ji Yunhuan deliberately smeared snake-attracting powder on me, hoping that I would be bitten to death by a venomous snake. But you didn't expect that I would use your trick and let Ji Yunhuan block the venomous snakes for me."
"If one plan fails, come up with another."
"When we passed by the lake in the back garden, Ji Yunhuan tried to push me into the lake, but I ended up pulling him into the water instead."
"She struggled in the water, so I locked her neck and didn't give her a chance to struggle."
"She tried to surface to call for help, but I stepped on her back to prevent her from coming up."
"She just struggled and suffocated in the water until she drowned."
Listening to Shen Ningyuan's description, Uncle Chen's eyes widened as big as copper bells, and he pointed at Shen Ningyuan tremblingly.
Seeing that he wanted to speak, Shen Ningyuan did not give him a chance to speak and continued: "Even if I killed Ji Yunhuan? But who would believe it? When you came in just now, everyone saw that I jumped down without hesitation and pulled my sister-in-law up!"
"I will save my sister-in-law regardless of the danger. How could I kill her?"
"You..." Uncle Chen pointed at Shen Ningyuan and asked in a trembling voice: "Why are you saying this to me? Aren't you afraid of me-"
Before Uncle Chen could finish, he was interrupted by Shen Ningyuan.
"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that you will spread this matter?"
Shen Ningyuan still smiled, put his index finger between his lips, and said with silent lip language: "What do I have to be afraid of? A dead person has no chance to speak."
After seeing what Shen Ningyuan said, Uncle Chen wanted to shout.
But it was too late.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a sharp arrow came flying through the wind.
It went straight through his neck and out through his open mouth.
Uncle Chen maintained his previous expression, took one last look at Shen Ningyuan, and fell straight to the ground.
Shen Ningyuan curled her lips in a cold smile, then turned her head and pretended to be panicked, screaming, "Ah!!! Quick, someone come, there's an assassin, there's an assassin!"
Afterwards, Shen Ningyuan immediately ran to Lan Yin and Lu Ying, huddled in their arms, trembling all over, looking very frightened.
