After saying that, Ji Yunchuan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Cui Mingzhu's arm tightly.
Cui Mingzhu gasped in pain and said in a deep voice, "Ji Yunchuan, be gentle, it hurts!"
Seeing Cui Mingzhu frowning and looking painful, Ji Yunchuan realized that he had been too extreme.
He quickly released Cui Mingzhu's arm and asked with concern: "Zhu'er, are you okay? I'm sorry, I was too strong. Did I hurt you?"
As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan began to nervously check Cui Mingzhu's arm.
"Brother Chuan, I'm fine, just let me go."
"It's all my fault. I was too nervous just now." Ji Yunchuan said angrily, "The situation is chaotic now. As long as there is a little movement, I will panic."
"It's okay, Brother Yunchuan, I understand your difficulties." Cui Mingzhu said very considerately.
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask, "Zhu'er, tell me in detail what happened last night."
Seeing Ji Yunchuan's nervous expression, Cui Mingzhu couldn't help but start to get nervous as well.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's like this. Last night, when Brother Yunchuan went into the Marquis' Mansion, I fainted. When Shen Ningyuan and her maid were returning home, they saw me fainted outside the Marquis' Mansion, so they took me to her villa and called a doctor for me."
"So, it was really Shen Ningyuan who saved you?"
Ji Yunchuan frowned slightly, with a hint of doubt on his face.
Cui Mingzhu nodded in agreement with Ji Yunchuan's words, "Yes, she saved me."
"Has she been with you in the villa all the time?" Ji Yunchuan asked again.
Cui Mingzhu was silent and lowered his head to think for a moment.
Thinking that she had just opened her eyes, Shen Ningyuan came in immediately.
Maybe, he also guarded her all night?
Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu nodded seriously, "She should be in the other courtyard too. As soon as I opened my eyes, she came in to see me."
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan stopped talking.
If that was the case, then the person who appeared in the ancestral hall last night was definitely not Shen Ningyuan.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Shen Ningyuan is the key figure in his plan. Apart from dying obediently, nothing can happen to her!
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Ji Yunchuan thought of something and looked at Cui Mingzhu nervously again.
He hurriedly asked, "You just said that Chen Ningyuan hired a doctor for you and stayed with you all night. Doesn't that mean that Chen Ningyuan already knew about your pregnancy?"
Cui Mingzhu nodded and said without hesitation: "Yes, she knows."
Seeing Ji Yunchuan's face darken, Cui Mingzhu hurriedly explained: "But Brother Yunchuan, don't worry, Shen Ningyuan didn't know the child was yours. I lied to her and said that I fell in love with a poor scholar. I was afraid that my aunt and uncle would not agree, so I concealed the matter of the child."
"She believed it?" Ji Yunchuan asked softly, his brows relaxed a little.
Cui Mingzhu nodded, "Yes, she believed it."
Cui Mingzhu explained, "I guess she remembered the time a year ago when she fought with my aunt and uncle and insisted on marrying you, so she softened her heart and promised me that she would never tell my aunt about my pregnancy."
When Ji Yunchuan heard the word "marry down", his eyes flashed, and he was obviously unhappy.
But he returned to normal the next second, looked at Cui Mingzhu approvingly, and said, "I didn't expect that Zhu'er is quite smart. She knew that Shen Ningyuan was stupid, foolish, and in love, so she came up with such an excuse to prevaricate her."
Ji Yunchuan added: "In this way, Shen Ningyuan will never think that the child in your belly is mine."
Hearing this, Cui Mingzhu became even more excited.
She continued, "Not only that, she also promised me that I could live in her villa under the pretext of accompanying her to relieve her boredom. This way, I could take care of my pregnancy in the villa, and after the child is born, I would let Shen Ningyuan take the child to the Marquis' Mansion and raise him under her lap as the Marquis' legitimate son."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yunchuan frowned.
He asked in disbelief: "Did Shen Ningyuan agree?"
"Yes, she agreed." Cui Mingzhu nodded vigorously.
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan had no doubt at all, but just snorted contemptuously.
He said contemptuously: "This bitch is really stupid! She was fooled by us a year ago, and a year later she is still so stupid and willing to pave the way for us."
"Yes, in this way, our child can be raised in the Marquis' Mansion with full justification."
Cui Mingzhu looked at Ji Yunchuan excitedly and asked, "Brother Chuan, this way, you don't have to force me to have an abortion!"
Cui Mingzhu curled her lips in grievance as she spoke, "You know, if I force an abortion, I might die."
Ji Yunchuan didn't say anything, and seemed to be really thinking about what Cui Mingzhu said.
After a moment, Ji Yunchuan seemed to have figured it out.
He nodded and said, "Since you have made it clear with Shen Ningyuan, then as you said, you will first stay in Shen Ningyuan's villa to take care of the baby. After the child is born, you will be adopted by Shen Ningyuan and become the legitimate heir of the Marquis' Mansion."
"But..." Ji Yunchuan thought of something and asked again: "Will Shen Ningyuan agree to the adoption of a child?"
Ji Yunchuan thought that if Shen Ningyuan agreed to adopt the child, he could consider letting her live longer.
"Why wouldn't she agree?" Cui Mingzhu said matter-of-factly, "She has no children, and she has no means of survival in the Marquis's Mansion. If the Marquis's Mansion is willing to let her adopt a child, she will definitely agree with gratitude!"
"That's true. Shen Ningyuan's brain, which is the size of a melon seed, can only think of this much."
Ji Yunchuan snorted coldly, "It's just that I'm afraid the General's Mansion will have objections."
