"W-what?"
These unexpected words startled Shen Ningyuan so much that she couldn't speak clearly.
She widened her eyes and looked at Ji Yunnuo in disbelief.
Then he frowned and said in a cold voice: "Ji Yunnuo, I asked you a question seriously, but you played a trick on me. How can this be possible?"
Hearing this, Ji Yunnuo's smile deepened.
"Sister-in-law, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you so anxious?"
Ji Yunnuo added: "My original words were - I want you, sister-in-law, to make a deal with me."
Shen Ningyuan: "..."
After a moment of silence, Shen Ningyuan reminded in a cold voice: "Next time you speak, don't say half and leave half, it's easy to cause misunderstanding."
"Okay!" Ji Yunnuo nodded and agreed readily, "I'll listen to my sister-in-law."
"You want to make a deal with me?" Shen Ningyuan asked.
Ji Yunnuo nodded, "Yes, I wonder if my sister-in-law is interested?"
"Is it related to the Ji family?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.
“Besides the Ji family, do my sister-in-law and I have any other connections?”
When asking this question, Ji Yunnuo looked at Shen Ningyuan with a look that was actually quite meaningful.
Because it was too dark at night, Shen Ningyuan didn't notice that there was a bright light in his eyes when he looked at her.
Shen Ningyuan thought for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "Why do you think I will definitely make this deal with you?"
"I saw my sister-in-law kill someone with my own eyes, and I also saw her confronting my eldest brother. I know so many of her secrets. Am I not qualified to make this deal with her?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled unceremoniously.
There was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes as he looked at Ji Yunnuo. "Just based on these, you want to make a deal with me? Ji Yunnuo, you are too naive!"
"It's true that I killed Ji Yunhuan, and you accidentally saw me, but so what?" Shen Ningyuan's smile deepened. "Do you think Ji Zehai and Chen can't guess that I killed Ji Yunhuan?"
"Especially my hypocritical and cunning mother-in-law. She knows better than anyone that I was the one who killed Ji Yunhuan!"
"But...she couldn't produce any evidence."
As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan suddenly thought of something and immediately changed her words: "No, she can produce evidence, but she doesn't dare to produce it!"
After finishing speaking, Shen Ningyuan stared straight at Ji Yunnuo and asked coldly, "So, my brother-in-law, why do you think that these secrets you rely on can control me?"
She is no longer the Ji Shen who can be manipulated by others!
She is Shen Ningyuan! A living person! The only daughter of the General's Mansion!
Just because she got married doesn’t mean she is no longer herself!
Shen Ningyuan's tone was calm, but it made Ji Yunnuo feel an inexplicable chill.
Ji Yunnuo looked at Shen Ningyuan deeply.
After a while, he said, "Okay, I know what sister-in-law means."
"Tonight, I saw nothing."
After saying that, Ji Yunnuo turned around and left the ancestral hall under Shen Ningyuan's gaze.
It was not until Ji Yunnuo's back disappeared into the night that Shen Ningyuan withdrew his gaze and looked at the two coffins in the courtyard.
Finally, her eyes fixed on the large coffin.
To be honest, she felt quite sorry for not sending Ji Yunchuan in.
But it didn't matter, she had plenty of time.
There is a long way to go, so take your time!
At this time, the moon was setting in the west.
The night wind blew, and Shen Ningyuan suddenly felt a chill.
He immediately stretched his muscles, walked out of the ancestral hall, and headed towards his own Xiyuanju.
After taking two steps, I suddenly thought of something.
He immediately changed direction and went to the yard where Chen lived.
Not long after Shen Ningyuan left, the two servants who were knocked unconscious by Ji Yunchuan also woke up.
The two men rubbed their weak necks and looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.
When he looked at the two coffins in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and remembered that the two people had suddenly fallen asleep, he felt a chill on his back.
Three people died in the Ji family within a month. It was as strange as it could be.
I don’t know if I was possessed by an evil spirit or if a ghost came to take my life.
Thinking of this, the two servants shuddered at the same time and closed the door of the ancestral hall tacitly.
…
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Shen Ningyuan arrived at Chen's yard.
Before she could get close, she heard low, suppressed crying coming from Chen's yard.
She was very familiar with this crying sound.
It’s Chen who is crying!
Shen Ningyuan's eyes lit up, and she immediately walked towards the corner in small steps.
Standing on the flower bed beside him, he poked his head out from outside the courtyard wall and peeked at everything in the yard.
There was still candlelight in the room where Chen lived. Her figure was reflected by the window, and she looked like she was crying very sadly.
Shen Ningyuan knew that Chen was crying for Uncle Chen.
I was afraid that Ji Zehai would be angry if he heard it, so I hid in the room and cried quietly.
Seeing Chen crying so hard that she almost fainted, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but sneer.
Just as Lan Yin said, Chen didn't cry so sadly even when she saw Ji Yunhuan's body.
Instead, when she saw Uncle Chen's body, she cried as if the sky had fallen.
If you didn’t know, you would think she was mourning for her husband!
Just as Shen Ningyuan sneered, two maids walked into Chen’s room carrying hot water.
After taking care of Chen, the two maids carried the basin of water out of the room.
In the room, Chen was still crying quietly.
The two maids had already reached the gate of the courtyard. After hearing the crying, they looked back and shook their heads helplessly.
After walking out of the yard, they started talking.
"Madam, you're such a fool! It's just the death of an accountant. Why are you crying so hard?"
