At this time, Chen was still crying.
There were a few muttered curses mixed in with the crying.
However, Shen Ningyuan still heard her name clearly.
Although I couldn't hear what Chen was cursing.
But Shen Ningyuan knew that the scolding must be very unpleasant.
Shen Ningyuan didn't want to listen anymore, so she jumped down from the flower bed and walked towards Xiyuanju.
After killing two people in a row, she was physically and mentally exhausted and needed to take some time to rest.
After all, I have to go to the villa tomorrow morning to check on Cui Mingzhu's condition.
There must be no mishap for the baby in her belly.
While thinking, Shen Ningyuan had already arrived at Xiyuanju.
As soon as they pushed open the courtyard gate, Lan Yin and Lu Ying heard the creaking sound of the door opening and immediately walked towards Chen Ningyuan.
"Miss, you are finally back!"
"Miss, I'm so worried. Where have you and Sister Lan Yin been? Sister Lan Yin just came back."
Looking at the worried faces of the two, Shen Ningyuan felt warm in her heart.
He immediately shook his head and said soothingly: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Then he looked at Lan Yin and asked softly, "Have you completed what I asked you to do?"
Lan Yin nodded and replied seriously, "Miss, it's done. I've sent my cousin to the other courtyard."
"Did she wake up in the middle?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.
Lan Yin shook her head, "I never woke up."
"Where's the child?"
"The baby was saved. After taking my pulse, the doctor prescribed medicine to protect the fetus." Lan Yin explained the situation truthfully.
"Well, that's good."
After Shen Ningyuan responded, she walked straight towards her house.
Luying was confused by what she heard and looked at the two of them in surprise, unable to get a word in.
After entering the house, Shen Ningyuan sat at the table and Lu Ying poured her a cup of tea.
Shen Ningyuan drank it all in one gulp and said coldly: "Rest well tonight, and go to the other courtyard tomorrow to see my cousin who is three months pregnant!"

The next day, the news that Ji Yunhuan had committed suicide by jumping into the river had spread throughout the capital.
Many mourners came to the Marquis' Mansion. After burning incense for the Ji brothers and sisters, they couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone was sighing, wondering how Ji Yunhuan, who was so young, could be so pessimistic.
You just jump into the river without thinking about your parents.
The Marquis's Mansion was originally sparsely populated, with only two legitimate children and one illegitimate son.
Now that the two legitimate sons have died in unclear circumstances, only one illegitimate son is left, and I'm afraid he won't be able to achieve anything.
The Marquis' Mansion was already in decline, and only by marrying up with the only daughter of the General's Mansion did they have a chance to breathe.
Now that two legitimate sons have died in succession, even with the support of the General's Mansion, I'm afraid his situation will continue to decline.
Thinking of this, everyone who came to pay their respects sighed.
"Young Madam, how long are we going to stand here?"
Lan Yin stood beside Shen Ningyuan and asked in a low voice.
Shen Ningyuan bowed to the guests who came to pay their respects, and replied to Lan Yin, "Wait a little longer, it will be fine soon."
"Miss, you shouldn't be responsible for these things!" Lan Yin said with a frown.
"No way." Shen Ningyuan didn't care. "I'm standing here to entertain guests. It makes me look sensible."
Lan Yin nodded in agreement. "Miss, you're right. If you don't even show your face, the rumors out there will be completely different!"
Shen Ningyuan did not respond again, and bowed again to the newly arrived guest.
Early in the morning, Chen made an excuse that she was not feeling well.
She, the daughter-in-law, was asked to come to the ancestral hall to keep vigil and receive guests who came to pay their respects.
Shen Ningyuan did not refuse. She put on a white linen robe and stood in front of the ancestral hall, bowing calmly.
From an outsider's perspective, she was already numb from the grief over the deaths of her husband and sister-in-law.
It's normal to have no expression on your face.
By noon, few people came anymore.
Shen Ningyuan took off her mourning clothes and said calmly, "Let's go. No one should be coming."
Lan Yin took the mourning clothes from Shen Ningyuan's hand, frowned slightly, and asked worriedly: "But Miss, what if Chen comes over and sees that you are not here to guard, what should I do if she makes trouble for you?"
"It's okay." Shen Ningyuan answered concisely: "If she dares, I will expose her affair with Uncle Chen and make her unable to hold her head up in the capital again."
Hearing this, Lan Yin suppressed her worries and followed Shen Ningyuan towards the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
After crossing the threshold, Shen Ningyuan took out a brocade bag and handed it to the servant guarding the door.
Facing the servant's puzzled gaze, Shen Ningyuan softly instructed: "Give this brocade bag to the lady."
The servant nodded quickly, took the brocade bag and walked towards Chen's yard.
After the servant walked away, Shen Ningyuan also strode out of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Lan Yin asked in a low voice: "Miss, what's in your brocade bag?"
“Ms. Chen personally embroidered the handkerchief for Uncle Chen.” Shen Ningyuan said in a light tone.
"What?" Lan Yin's eyes widened in shock. "Madam embroidered a handkerchief for Uncle Chen? How could Miss have such a thing?"
Whenever Shen Ningyuan and Uncle Chen met, Lan Yin followed closely.
How could she not know when Shen Ningyuan got this thing?
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan's expression remained calm.
In response to Lan Yin's words, "This handkerchief fell out of Uncle Chen's body when he was shot by Yi Ge last night. I felt something was wrong with it, so I picked it up during the chaos."
But when I got back and took a look, I found that the embroidery on the handkerchief was clearly the needlework that Chen often used!
Lan Yin thought for a moment before she suddenly remembered.
When Uncle Chen was shot last night, Shen Ningyuan did take something from the ground in the chaos.
