Let the government handle it, and the Ji family's theft of their daughter-in-law's property will be discovered.
Wouldn’t the good reputation that the Ji family had worked so hard to build be ruined in an instant?
Thinking of this, Chen emphasized again: "You must not send him to the authorities!"
Seeing Chen's expression changing again and again, and her anxious look, Shen Ningyuan felt so happy.
He then said bluntly, "Mother-in-law, Ji Yunhuan poisoned me a few days ago, and I accepted your insistence that I couldn't send him to the authorities. But today's theft involves the gift of the late emperor, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate to refuse to send him to the authorities for handling."
Hearing Shen Ningyuan's aggressiveness, Chen regretted it very much.
I wanted to slap myself hard half an hour ago.
She shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.
If Ning Yuan wants to beat a servant to death, then let her beat him to death.
Why did she have to fight for this and take the opportunity to cause trouble for Shen Ningyuan?
Now, you have shot yourself in the foot!
Seeing that Chen Shi didn't speak for a long time, Shen Ningyuan asked in a cold voice: "Mother-in-law, have you thought it through? Can your daughter-in-law beat this girl to death today?"
Now that things have come to this, what else can Chen do?
I could only grit my teeth and nod, "Since she's your girl, you can do whatever you want with her!"
As she spoke, Chen glared at Shen Ningyuan, then turned and walked towards the backyard.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly thought of something and turned back to look at Hailian who was tied to a stool.
"When you're beating her to death, cover her mouth so she doesn't scream. If the people outside hear her, it will affect our Ji family's reputation!" Chen threatened, "Yunchuan's funeral is coming soon, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Shen Ningyuan said in a deep voice: "My daughter-in-law doesn't want to get involved, but many of the lost items were gifts from the late emperor to the Shen family. If we can't find them back, it doesn't seem good."
"you--"
Chen was choked.
Why is Shen Ningyuan, this bitch, still obsessed with this matter?
After taking a deep breath, Chen gave up struggling.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, this is all a misunderstanding. Those things are locked in my warehouse. I'll have my servants deliver them to you later."
Shen Ningyuan's lips curled up, a smile on his face, "Oh? How did my dowry end up in my mother-in-law's warehouse?"
Chen's expression changed instantly, and she twitched her lips as she made up a random excuse, "There's been a big funeral at the mansion these past few days, and many people will be coming to pay their respects. I'm worried that with so many people around, some petty thieves might sneak in and steal things from the mansion, so I've stored all the valuables from the various courtyards in the warehouse."
"I was originally thinking of returning the things to you after Yunchuan's funeral. Now that you've brought it up, I'll send it back to you!"
Chen almost gritted her teeth when she said the last sentence.
I originally thought of taking this opportunity to cheat Ning Yuan out of some money.
Unexpectedly, among the things she displayed, there were even gifts from the late emperor?
"In that case..." Shen Ningyuan's face still had a half-smile, "Mother-in-law is thoughtful."
Hearing this, Hai Lian's eyes flashed with joy, and she raised her head and looked at Shen Ningyuan eagerly.
Those things were not lost. Does that mean she can save her life?
Unexpectedly, after Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, his gaze shifted.
When he looked at Hailian again, his eyes revealed a fierce look, "But, this girl committed treason and must be beaten to death!"
Not wanting to stay in this troublesome place any longer, after listening to Shen Ningyuan's words, he simply waved his hand and said casually: "Since she is your girl, you can do whatever you want with her!"
After saying that, he didn’t even look at Shen Ningyuan again, and walked away with the anger in his chest.
Seeing Chen's leaving back, Hailian's eyes instantly lost their light.
Seeing the coldness in Shen Ningyuan's eyes again, Hai Lian knew that she would really be beaten to death, and began to struggle violently again.
The ropes that bound her were about to break free.
Two maids ran over and held her hands tightly, preventing her from breaking free.
When Hailian no longer had the strength to struggle, the two maids immediately tightened the ropes and tied Hailian tightly to the wooden bench.
At this time, Shen Ningyuan waved her hand gently at the two maids, "Let's do it!"
"Yes, Miss!"
After saying that, the two maids picked up the bamboo sticks beside them and beat Hailian hard.
Each time, there was a very loud noise.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan took two steps forward and looked down at Hai Lian from above.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan coming over, the two maids stopped.
Shen Ningyuan raised her hand, her voice very cold, "No need to stop, keep fighting."
Hearing this, the two maids continued to fight.
The bamboo stick hit Hailian again and again, causing her to sweat profusely and her eyes to be bloodshot due to the pain.
Hai Lian stretched out her hand tremblingly and grabbed the hem of Shen Ningyuan's skirt, her eyes full of pleading.
"Want to beg me to let you go?" Shen Ningyuan asked softly.
Hailian nodded hypocritically, her eyes full of hope.
She knew that Shen Ningyuan was a soft-hearted person, and she would definitely not really beat herself to death.
But it turned out that she was going to be disappointed.
Seeing the pleading in Hailian's eyes, Shen Ningyuan squatted down and slowly approached Hailian.
He asked softly, "Looking at your eyes, are you sure that I will let you go?"
Hearing this, Hailian's tears flowed even more violently and she nodded even more vigorously.
"Do you know?" Shen Ningyuan took another step closer, almost close to Hailian's ear, "I knew from the beginning that those things were stolen by the Chen family."
Hai Lian's pupils shrank, and she looked at Shen Ningyuan in disbelief.
