Hearing this, Caiyun took the brocade bag from the servant.
"The stuff has been delivered, you can go down now."
"yes!"
After the servant left, Caiyun closed the door and walked towards Chen with something in her hands.
Before Caiyun could come up to her, Chen snorted coldly with a somewhat arrogant look on her face.
He asked, “Huh, I knew it. Shen Ningyuan knew that she had made a mistake, so she sent me something good in advance.”
Caiyun did not respond, frowned slightly, and looked at the brocade bag in her hand.
It's very light, I don't know what's inside.
As soon as Caiyun walked up to Chen, the latter couldn't wait to snatch the thing from her hand.
"Bring it here!"
Chen snatched the brocade bag and weighed it in her hand.
Then he frowned and muttered softly, "Is the gift this time so light?"
After saying that, Chen opened the brocade bag and took out the handkerchief inside.
"handkerchief?"
Chen felt very strange, "Why did Chen Ningyuan suddenly give me a handkerchief?"
"Could it be an embroidery from Jinxiu Pavilion?" Chen asked suspiciously.
Jinxiu Pavilion is the top embroidery workshop in the capital, and any handkerchief costs a lot of money.
Chen was guessing in her heart while opening the handkerchief in her hand.
But when she saw the pattern embroidered on the handkerchief clearly, her body suddenly softened and she almost slipped off the stool.
"That bitch Shen Ningyuan, how come this thing is in her hands?"
Chen roared angrily, her hand clenching the handkerchief trembling slightly, her expression full of panic.
He muttered quietly, "What does she want to do by sending these things here? Does she know something else?"
Seeing Chen's expression, Caiyun felt very strange and subconsciously asked, "Madam, the young mistress only gave me a handkerchief. Why are you so nervous?"
"What's it to you?"
As soon as Caiyun finished asking, Chen scolded her anxiously.
Caiyun just asked casually, but she didn't expect Chen to react so strongly.
And judging from her expression, she was obviously feeling guilty.
Caiyun felt a little uneasy and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just kept her mouth shut.
Chen clenched her handkerchief and comforted herself over and over again in her heart.
It's okay, it's just a handkerchief, it doesn't prove anything.
What's more, Shen Ningyuan has no evidence.
Even her bedmate can only suspect her in his heart, and can't do anything to her without any evidence.
What's more, what about Shen Ningyuan?
That being said, Chen was still a little uneasy when she thought about the changes in Shen Ningyuan during this period.
For a moment, the handkerchief in my hand became a little hot.
Chen took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and handed the handkerchief to Caiyun.
He ordered, "Burn this handkerchief."
"Madam, it's a good handkerchief. Why burn it?"
Caiyun didn't think too much about it and asked subconsciously.
"Just burn it when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Chen scolded directly.
Seeing this, Caiyun had no choice but to take the handkerchief, walk to the candlestick, light the handkerchief and throw it into the charcoal brazier.
After finishing all this, Caiyun returned to Chen and asked, "Madam, should I arrange for the young mistress to kneel in the ancestral hall to keep vigil?"
Chen shook her head, "No need, just let her be."
His tone was somewhat weak, a stark contrast to his aggressive demeanor just now.
"Chuan'er and Huan'er are dead, and my only relative in the mansion was also inexplicably killed by an assassin. Now I am truly alone in the mansion!"
After a moment's silence, Chen suddenly sighed.
Caiyun glanced at her, then lowered her head without responding to Chen.
As a servant, the most taboo thing is to say the wrong thing and make the master unhappy.

On the other side, Cui Mingzhu finally woke up after lying down all night.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I found myself in an unfamiliar room.
Cui Mingzhu frowned slightly and began to recall what happened before she fell into a coma.
She vaguely remembered that Ji Yunchuan insisted on going to the Marquis' Mansion and they had an argument about this.
She was pushed by Ji Yunchuan and fell to the ground, with a lot of blood flowing from her body.
Just as Cui Mingzhu was thinking about it, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Miss, she seems to have woken up."
Is anyone there?
Cui Mingzhu's pupils shrank and she subconsciously clutched the quilt.
He looked at the door nervously, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
A moment later, the tightly closed door was pushed open from the outside.
Shen Ningyuan, wearing a lake blue dress, walked in and came to Cui Mingzhu in two or three steps.
"Chen Ningyuan, is it you?" Cui Mingzhu's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
Without waiting for Shen Ningyuan to answer, Cui Mingzhu glanced around the unfamiliar surroundings and asked anxiously, "Why is it you? Where did you take me?"
Seeing Cui Mingzhu's anxious look, Shen Ningyuan's eyebrows were indifferent.
He answered Cui Mingzhu's questions one by one in a calm tone.
"This is my villa."
"Last night when I returned to the Marquis' Mansion, I happened to see my cousin fainted in a secluded spot in the backyard. I took it upon myself to bring my cousin to my villa to rest and even called a doctor for her."
Finally, Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Mingzhu with "sincere" concern in her eyes.
He asked softly, "Cousin, you are feeling better now. Are you still feeling unwell?"
Cui Mingzhu didn’t answer, still digesting what Shen Ningyuan said in her mind.
Finally, Cui Mingzhu stared at Shen Ningyuan in astonishment, "You took me back to your villa and even hired a doctor for me?"
