After hearing what Shen Ningyuan said, Lan Yin lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment, then quickly raised her head again.
He said vaguely: "Miss, you have really changed. You are completely different from the you were a year ago."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan did not respond.
After putting on his clothes, he slowly walked out from behind the screen.
Looking at Lan Yin, Shen Ningyuan said indifferently, "People will change."
Seeing Lan Yin was silent, Shen Ningyuan looked at Lu Ying who was standing beside her and softly instructed, "Go and arrange for a few servants to clean up this room."
"Yes, miss."
Luying didn't suspect anything, responded and turned to walk out of the room.
Lan Yin stared at Shen Ningyuan's back and closed her mouth.
She knew that Shen Ningyuan had deliberately sent Lu Ying away, and that she must have something important to tell her.
Sure enough, after Luying walked away, Shen Ningyuan looked at Lan Yin and said in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the day I took you back to the Marquis' Mansion and told you that Ji Yunchuan was still alive?"
Lan Yin's pupils shrank slightly, and she nodded blankly, "This servant... remembers."
At first, she thought Shen Ningyuan couldn't accept her husband's death and was just talking nonsense.
But after coming to the Marquis' Mansion for a few days and witnessing the changes in Shen Ningyuan, Lan Yin suddenly realized that the fact that Ji Yunchuan was still alive was probably true.
If Ji Yunchuan was still alive, what would this funeral mean?
What is the Marquis' Mansion planning by treating Shen Ningyuan like this?
Thinking of this, Lan Yin looked at Shen Ningyuan silently.
She said sadly, "Miss, tell me what you have been through in the past year."
When asking this question, Lan Yin's eyes were full of pity.
She grew up with Shen Ningyuan, and she knew very well that behind Shen Ningyuan's earth-shaking changes, she must have experienced countless sorrows and pains.
Facing Lan Yin's pitying gaze, Shen Ningyuan felt a pang of pain in her heart.
The next second he turned his back and said, "Come with me."
After saying that, the man walked out of the room.
Seeing this, Lan Yin followed Shen Ningyuan out.
As we walked from Xiyuanju to the main gate of the Marquis' Mansion, all the servants we met on the way looked hurried.
It can be seen that Ji Zehai took the assassination in the Marquis' Mansion very seriously.
At least, when Ji Yunhuan was drowned just now, Ji Zehai would not have mobilized such a large force like he does now.
After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Shen Ningyuan took Lan Yin to Zui Xiang Ting, the largest restaurant in the capital.
"Miss, this seems to be our Shen family's property, right?"
Before entering, Lan Yin asked doubtfully.
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan nodded and hummed softly, "Yes, this is indeed our family's property."
"Then Miss, why did you bring me here?" Lan Yin asked again.
"You'll find out in a moment."
After finishing speaking, Shen Ningyuan walked straight into Zuixiang Pavilion, and Lan Yin followed closely behind.
The shopkeeper standing behind the counter saw a customer coming in and immediately stepped forward to greet them with a bow, "Are you... the young lady?"
After seeing that the person coming was Shen Ningyuan, the shopkeeper's eyes flashed with surprise, "Miss, is it really you?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded and said, "Uncle Cui, long time no see."
Cui Ming, the shopkeeper of Zuixiangting, is my mother's confidant and a member of the Qinghe Cui family branch.
Cui Ming's eyes were filled with joy at Shen Ningyuan's arrival, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. "What a rare guest, Miss. You haven't come here to drink since you married into the Marquis' Mansion. Why did you suddenly come here today?"
As he spoke, Cui Ming thought of something and his expression immediately became serious.
"My dear Miss, please accept my condolences!"
Cui Ming's voice was a little deeper than before.
After finishing speaking, Cui Ming felt uneasy, fearing that he had offended Shen Ningyuan.
But unexpectedly, Shen Ningyuan just waved his hand lightly and said indifferently: "It's okay, Uncle Cui, don't worry about it. It's just a man who died. It's no big deal."
After saying this, Cui Ming's body trembled, and he looked up at Shen Ningyuan in surprise, "Miss, what did you just say?"
Cui Ming subconsciously thought that he had heard wrongly.
The Shen Ningyuan he knew had always been law-abiding. How could she say such outrageous words?
But in Cui Ming's surprised eyes, Shen Ningyuan remained calm and patiently repeated what she had just said.
"I said, it's just a man who died, it's no big deal."
Cui Ming: “…”
After getting a positive answer, Cui Ming was speechless for a moment, and just stared at Shen Ningyuan in a daze.
Gradually, his gaze changed from dazed to suspicious.
Finally, Cui Ming looked at Lan Yin and asked in a trembling voice, "Lan Yin, is the young lady possessed by something?"
Shen Ningyuan and Lan Yin: "..."
Seeing that Cui Ming still doubted him, Shen Ningyuan asked helplessly: "Uncle Cui, did Aunt Ming find the ten taels of silver notes you hid in the sole of your shoe?"
After saying this, Cui Ming's eyes widened again, "Miss, you still remember that incident!"
At the same time, he was basically certain that the person in front of him was the Shen Ningyuan he knew.
Guaranteed genuine!
Because when he secretly hid his private money that day, only Shen Ningyuan was present.
Shen Ningyuan nodded and said, “I even remember that when Uncle Cui saw me hiding behind the pillar, I even tied my shoelaces wrong.”
Cui Ming felt a little embarrassed when Shen Ningyuan revealed it.
"Miss, let's not talk about what happened back then." Cui Ming scratched the back of his head. "I wonder if you've come here for something, or if you're here for the funeral wine at my son-in-law's funeral?"
