Xie Wanzhou really treated her like a three-year-old child and fooled her.
The voice was hoarse and carried a strong smell of dust.
All of them show how tired they are from travel.
Shen Ningyuan did not expose his clumsy lie.
He just curled his lips slightly and said meaningfully.
"That's good. It's just troublesome for you to come here so late."
The sarcasm in his words was simply too obvious.
Xie Wanzhou was choked by her words.
I opened my mouth to explain, but didn't know where to begin.
In the end, he just shut his mouth in disappointment.
He touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.
Even in the darkness, Shen Ningyuan was able to keenly capture his movements.
She reached out and pushed him away, creating some distance between them.
I lit the candle in the dark.
Dim light instantly filled the entire room.
Likewise, the dark circles and fatigue in Xie Wanzhou's eyes were completely visible.
After Shen Ningyuan looked at him carefully, he asked solemnly.
"What on earth happened? Yi Ge took my letter and seal to Jingzhao Prefecture to handle the divorce documents. Why is there no news until now?"
When he said this, he paused slightly, and Shen Ningyuan deliberately looked at Xie Wanzhou.
Seeing his eyes wandering and flickering, he looked like he didn't want to talk about it any more.
Shen Ningyuan thought about it again and again, and finally asked again.
"The people I sent to look for you haven't returned yet. It's as if they disappeared out of thin air. Can you tell me what happened out there?"
In fact, she herself did not hold out much hope.
In her heart, it would be best if Xie Wanzhou could tell the truth.
If she avoids talking about it, there is nothing she can do.
There are really no extra people on hand to send out to gather information.
The only source of information was Xie Wanzhou.
If he wasn't willing to tell the truth, there was absolutely nothing she could do.
Xie Wanzhou lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, so long that Shen Ningyuan said in a heavy tone when he was silent.
"Xie Yumin defended the Ji family in the court today and said that the so-called evidence was all fabricated and that someone had framed them."
When Xie Wanzhou received the news, he couldn't believe it at all.
According to his original expectation, given Xie Yumin's selfish and suspicious nature, he would never meddle in other people's affairs.
But this time, he chose to publicly defend the An Ning Marquis Mansion in the hall.
It was also specifically pointed out that Ji Yunchuan had been secretly murdered and had long been dead.
Shen Ningyuan heard countless subtle hints hidden in his words from just a few words.
After a long silence, when she raised her head again, she looked at Xie Wanzhou with a firm gaze and asked in a dull voice.
"So what are your plans next?"
The reason why this question was asked was because Ji Yunchuan had indeed been burned into charcoal.
The fact that Xie Yuming was able to say this in the court meant that he had evidence.
Otherwise, how could I say this in front of Your Majesty?
If Xie Wanzhou withdrew at this point and no longer interfered in the affairs of the An Ning Marquis' Mansion, he would naturally be able to escape unscathed.
No more troubles.
But if he doesn't cut ties in time, Xie Wanzhou is likely to get into trouble.
Because if nothing unexpected happens, he should still be imprisoned in the abandoned Prince's Mansion.
When Shen Ningyuan asked these questions, a sense of panic arose in her heart.
I feel inexplicably afraid and worried.
But then I thought, I have died once, so why should I be afraid?
At worst, I'll just die again!
At least this time, revenge was taken!
She did not drag down the Shen family, nor did she drag down the lives of her two brothers, parents, and more than a hundred people in the mansion. No one died tragically because of her.
Chen Ningyuan staggered towards the couch, fell down on it, and stared out the window in a daze.
It's like being trapped in my own emotions and unable to extricate myself.
At this moment, Xie Wanzhou was thinking about how to tell her tactfully that he was not afraid of being a burden.
He would not withdraw at such a critical moment, which would completely go against his creed in life.
Now that you have made the choice, you must stick to it unwaveringly.
How could you do such a treacherous thing?
Xie Wanzhou would never do such a thing.
But before he came to his senses, he found his beloved girl staring out the window with a panicked look on her face.
Xie Wanzhou felt helpless and walked slowly towards the couch.
When she heard the movement beside her, Shen Ningyuan subconsciously shuddered, shrank her neck, and looked at him with a puzzled look.
But she never expected that at this moment she was like a frightened quail.
Looks fragile and helpless.
Xie Wanzhou felt very sad.
He cleared his throat and then spoke solemnly.
"Just wait for news in the mansion. Everything will be resolved in five days at most. Trust me."
The last three words seem to have a magical power.
Her originally anxious heart instantly gave rise to infinite hope.
It seems to be injected with vigorous vitality.
Shen Ningyuan widened her eyes slightly and looked at him in surprise.
Said in a trembling voice.
"You... do you know what you mean by saying this?"
Then, as if suddenly realizing what Xie Wanzhou was going to do, Shen Ningyuan frowned and asked in a whisper.
"Could it be that you want to restore your identity? But now is not the best time. If you arouse His Majesty's suspicion, you will be in endless trouble later..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by him.
"Chen Ningyuan, from the day we started working together, I never thought of abandoning you halfway. Give me some time, and I will definitely be able to solve this matter perfectly."
Isn't it just about revealing your identity?
We have already made so many plans earlier, and even if the announcement now is a bit hasty, it is by no means completely hopeless.
But if she didn't restore her identity now, it would be impossible for Shen Ningyuan to leave An Ning Hou Mansion safely.
Having said that, Shen Ningyuan also knew clearly that nothing she said would help.
Xie Wanzhou had already made up his mind, and he could not change the decision he had made.
What's more, she is the direct beneficiary.
What position do we have to stop it?
Shen Ningyuan quickly figured out the connection and felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
What on earth has she done to deserve such treatment from him?
My originally numb heart now felt a burst of warmth.
Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
Xie Wanzhou miraculously understood what she wanted to express.
He raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her head, with a hint of pampering in his tone.
"Don't think too much. For me, restoring my identity is just a little bit earlier. Don't feel burdened."
