After being shocked, Lan Yin's first reaction was to suspect that she had seen it wrong.
But soon, she immediately picked up the telescope and looked back to the place she was just at.
This time, Lan Yin saw it clearly.
In that remote house, the two people standing by the window hugging each other were Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu!
Lan Yin swallowed, her hands holding the telescope trembling slightly, and she kept muttering, "How could it be? How could it be my uncle and my cousin?"
"Son-in-law is already dead, and Miss Cousin should be staying in the General's Mansion. How could they be together and hug each other so intimately at this late hour?"
Lan Yin looked at Shen Ningyuan, her eyes full of shock, "Miss, what is going on?"
"This is the truth I brought you here to show you."
Shen Ningyuan tried her best to remain calm.
Just now, when she saw Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu, the couple hugging each other through the telescope, her heart beat faster.
Every time I see this kind of scene, the hatred in my heart accumulates and my emotions fluctuate accordingly.
As Lan Yin looked through the telescope, she took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
After hearing what Shen Ningyuan said, Lan Yin trembled and put down the telescope. She said, "So, Miss, my son-in-law is faking his death. Then... isn't this the crime of deceiving the emperor? If His Majesty knew about this, then my son-in-law would..."
Before Lan Yin could finish, Shen Ningyuan nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes, it is deceiving the emperor. If you expose it, it will be a capital crime!"
"Oh my God! What on earth does my uncle want to do?"
For a moment, Lan Yin still couldn't accept the truth before her.
"It was clearly the son-in-law who pursued the young lady first. He wrote three letters and six engagements, sincerely wanting her to marry him. How come less than a year after their marriage, he risked the crime of deceiving the emperor by faking his own death and getting together with my cousin?"
Lan Yin kept muttering.
No one believed what he said, thinking that Ji Yunchuan was faking his death.
Shen Ningyuan sneered and asked calmly, "What if what he was after was the dowry I brought to the Marquis' Mansion?"
"What?" Lan Yin was even more shocked. "The son-in-law and the Marquis' Mansion want the young lady's dowry?"
"right."
Shen Ningyuan nodded and explained to Lan Yin everything about Ji Yunhuan poisoning her at the funeral, the snake trouble in the ancestral hall tonight, and Ji Yunhuan being drowned.
Of course, she concealed the truth about her rebirth.
After hearing this, Lan Yin fell directly into the chair, looking like she had lost her soul.
He continued to murmur, "The Ji family... the son-in-law... they want not only the young lady's dowry, but also her life. How could they be... so vicious?"
After being stunned for a moment, Lan Yin stood up and rushed to Shen Ningyuan.
He shouted anxiously, "Miss! You knew the Ji family was a den of wolves, so why did you return? Just tell the general and his wife, and they will take you away from the Marquis' Mansion even if it means risking their lives!"
"It's not that simple." Shen Ningyuan shook her head. "Ji Yunchuan and I were married by His Majesty. As long as the Ji family hasn't committed a serious mistake, the Shen family would be bullying if they force a divorce. The Shen family now holds military power, which has already made His Majesty wary. If they cause trouble like this again and lose the support of the people, the Shen family's situation will only become more difficult."
After rebirth, Shen Ningyuan thought everything through.
So she had no choice but to return to the Marquis' Mansion, force out Ji Yunchuan who was faking his death and hiding in the dark, and find evidence of the Marquis' Mansion's crimes, so that she could leave the Ji family with her dowry with a legitimate reason.
Compared to Shen Ningyuan's calmness, Lan Yin was still very pessimistic, with a sad look on her face.
The next second, she actually lay directly on Shen Ningyuan's legs, crying softly: "My poor lady, how could you marry into such a black-hearted family!"
"If the Madam and the General knew about their plan and the young lady's current situation, they would be so heartbroken!"
Lan Yin knew Shen Ningyuan very well. If she had no chance of winning, she would never let Shen Potian and Cui Jin know about the Ji family's conspiracy.
So, she had to bear it all by herself.
Thinking of this, Lan Yin choked with sobs and burst into tears.
"God, God, please open your eyes and send down thunderbolts to kill this wicked family alive. Oh, my poor young lady!"
"Okay, there's nothing to cry about." Shen Ningyuan reached out and pressed Lan Yin's shoulder. "I'm sure you've guessed it. Ji Yunhuan's death tonight was not an accident. I drowned her in the lake with my own hands. In the future, there will be more Ji family members who die at my hands."
Lan Yin raised her head from Shen Ningyuan's legs and held her hand tightly.
"Miss..." Lan Yin's defense was broken as soon as she called out "Miss".
She cried loudly and wailed, "Miss, these hands of yours were meant for playing the zither and holding a pen. In the past, you wouldn't even want to crush an ant to death, but now you're using these hands to kill people. I'm truly heartbroken to see you become like this..."
Seeing Lan Yin's crying getting louder and louder, Shen Ningyuan was afraid of attracting the attention of someone with ulterior motives, so she quickly reached out and covered Lan Yin's mouth.
He raised his eyebrows and said helplessly, "I told you not to cry. I didn't let you know this just to see you cry."
With her mouth covered, Lan Yin slowly stopped crying, but she still couldn't help sobbing.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan let go of her hand, looked at Lan Yin's red and swollen eyes, and said earnestly: "You don't have to worry too much. Since I dared to return to the Ji family, I naturally have my own plans."
"Besides, I'm not alone, am I?"
Chen Ningyuan once again pressed Lan Yin's shoulders and said in a deep voice, "You are calm and collected, so you can help me keep an eye on the Marquis' Mansion. Yi Ge is highly skilled in martial arts and can protect me at any time. Although Lu Ying is simple, she is kind-hearted and smart. If we encounter any emergencies in the future, she can also handle it on her own."
