Everyone was frightened by this sudden change and hid aside in fear.
"Young Madam, are you okay?" Lan Yin looked at Shen Ningyuan nervously.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "I'm fine, go and inform the Marquis and his wife, Uncle Chen has been killed by an assassin!"
Lan Yin nodded and immediately turned to the others, "Did you hear that? Quickly inform the Marquis and his wife that there's an assassin in the Marquis' Mansion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two servants nodded and ran out to inform Ji Zehai and Chen.
Those who stayed behind gathered in groups of three or five. Some of them stared at Uncle Chen's body with horror, while others looked around in panic, fearing that they would be the next person to be shot.
Shen Ningyuan huddled in Lan Yin's arms, still looking terrified on the surface, but secretly leaned close to Lan Yin's ear and whispered, "Tell the servants of the Marquis' Mansion to dispose of Ji Yunhuan's body."
"Miss?" Lan Yin looked at Shen Ningyuan in confusion, but the moment her eyes met hers, she immediately guessed what Shen Ningyuan was thinking.
"Miss, I understand."
Lan Yin nodded seriously and pushed Shen Ningyuan into Lu Ying's arms, "Lu Ying, take the young lady back."
"Uh-huh, okay."
Lu Ying responded in a daze, and under Lan Yin's gaze, she took Shen Ningyuan and left the back garden.
After the two men left, Lan Yin ordered the servants present to move Ji Yunhuan's body away.
"Be careful not to offend the young lady. Have the maids in the boiler room boil some hot water, clean the young lady, and change her into clean clothes. As for what to do next, wait for the instructions from the Marquis and his wife."
After hearing Lan Yin's words, everyone who was originally at a loss immediately started to get busy.
After everyone dispersed, Lan Yin looked at the bodies of Ji Yunhuan and Chen Bo, and couldn't help but frowned in worry.
She just hoped that what happened tonight would not be traced back to the young lady.
At this time, Chen Ningyuan had already returned to her own Xiyuan Residence with the support of Luying.
After entering the yard and seeing that there was no one around, Shen Ningyuan changed her panicked look and calmly broke free from Luying's hand.
"Come out." Shen Ningyuan said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid dressed in coarse linen clothes walked out from the corner calmly.
Seeing the maid coming out, Lu Ying immediately stood up and blocked Shen Ningyuan's way. "Who are you? Don't hurt my young lady!"
From Green Warbler's tone, you can tell that she is also very scared.
But she still stood firmly in front of Shen Ningyuan, acting like a hen protecting her chicks.
Until the maid took two steps forward, knelt on one knee and saluted Shen Ningyuan, "Shen Family Army archer Yi Ge, greets the young lady!"
Lu Ying looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise, "Miss, is she yours?"
"Yeah." Chen Ningyuan nodded, walked around Luying and came to Yige, and said softly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Miss!" Yi Ge stood up and responded in a loud voice.
Shen Ningyuan looked at her carefully and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
He is worthy of being the best in the Shen family army. Even she couldn't help but admire his demeanor.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan asked in a deep voice: "Are you the secret guard that big brother arranged for me?"
Yi Ge nodded, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Yes, Miss."
"Besides being good at bows and arrows, are you good at anything else?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.
Yi Ge was silent for a moment before answering, "I know a little bit of boxing and kicking."
Do you know a little bit of boxing?
Shen Ningyuan glanced at the back of Yi Ge's hand.
I immediately realized that this was just a humble statement.
How could the best of the Shen family army have only one skill?
"You did a great job just now." Shen Ningyuan praised sincerely.
Yi Ge nodded and lowered his eyes, "Miss, you are too kind. I'm glad I didn't scare you."
Her attitude remained neither humble nor overbearing, and she did not act servile just because Shen Ningyuan was the young lady of the Shen family.
Seeing Yi Ge's calm appearance, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but recall the moment when she had the intention to kill.
Yi Ge was originally hiding in the crowd, but his eyes were always fixed on Shen Ningyuan.
Until he realized that Shen Ningyuan had murderous intentions towards Chen Bo, Yi Ge quietly hid behind a big tree and made the Shen Family Army's gesture to Shen Ningyuan.
As soon as the two men responded, Uncle Chen was shot dead by a pigeon.
"In a few days, I will bring you to Xiyuanju to work. Then you can be with me to protect me."
"Yi Ge is always at the lady's disposal."
"Okay, go down."
"yes."
Yi Ge bowed and then turned and left Xiyuanju.
After she walked out, Lu Ying couldn't help herself any longer and asked, "Miss, is she really on our side?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded, “The person my eldest brother arranged will not be wrong.”
What's more, before she got married, she had heard from her eldest brother that there was an archer named Yi Ge in the Shen family army who was good at archery and never missed his target.
But I didn't expect that my elder brother would send Yi Ge to protect me.
In this way, her safety in the Marquis' Mansion would be guaranteed.
"With her protecting the young lady, this servant feels relieved." Lu Ying said, looking at Shen Ningyuan, "Young lady, you should go in first and take a hot bath. You are soaking wet and will catch a cold."
"Yeah, okay."
Shen Ningyuan did not refuse and followed Lu Ying into the room.
Soaking in the warm water, Shen Ningyuan's mind became clearer.
Thinking of what Ji Yunhuan said to her before her death, and Ji Zehai and Chen's indifferent attitude after seeing Ji Yunhuan's death, Shen Ningyuan felt a sigh in her heart.
