Chapter 007: Moral kidnapping? No way!
“Hmm—”
As Chen pinched him, Ji Yunhuan's throat tightened and he let out a painful sob.
Ji Yunhuan raised his hand with difficulty, grabbed Chen's wrist, and begged with tears.
"Mom, please don't. I am Huan'er, your daughter. Do you really want to kill your own daughter with your own hands?"
Ji Yunhuan's voice became more and more choked, "Mother, I didn't want to kill my sister-in-law. It was you who made me... Uh, Uh, Uh!"
Seeing that Ji Yunhuan was about to say something that he shouldn’t.
Chen used so much force that Ji Yunhuan could only utter weak sobs.
Because Chen's mind was full of the Ji family's reputation and her position as the wife of a marquis in the capital.
Ji Yunhuan would never be allowed to say anything that was detrimental to her or the Ji family.
Thinking of this, Chen's strength in his hands became stronger and stronger.
Until Ji Yun was suffocated by joy and could no longer utter any words of pleading.
"Huan'er, I'm sorry. It's my mother who is sorry for you... In the next life, I want you to be my good daughter!"
Chen closed her eyes, unable to bear to see Ji Yunhuan suffocating and rolling his eyes.
She clenched her back teeth tightly and exerted force with her wrist, preparing to send Ji Yunhuan on his final journey.
"stop!"
At this critical moment, a powerful voice came from outside the ancestral hall.
Shen Ningyuan was startled when she heard the voice.
Ji Zehai, why are you here at this time?
Ji Zehai is her father-in-law and the current person in charge of the Marquis' Mansion.
The crowd of onlookers made way for him, and Ji Zehai swaggered into Shen Ningyuan's sight.
After entering the ancestral hall, Ji Zehai narrowed his gloomy eyes, looked at Shen Ningyuan coldly, and then winked at the head nanny beside him.
The head nanny understood immediately and walked up to Chen with her head down.
He whispered, "Ma'am, I'm sorry."
Then he slapped him hard.
Snap——
After a crisp sound, Chen was hit and her body tilted, and she fell to the side.
After the beating, the nanny retreated respectfully behind Ji Zehai.
Seeing Chen being beaten, Shen Ningyuan narrowed her eyes, raised her eyes and looked at Ji Zehai carefully.
Unexpectedly, her father-in-law, who liked to hide in the dark, would actually show up.
At this time in his previous life, Ji Zehai did not appear.
It was after she was dead that Ji Zehai pretended that he had just learned that she had committed suicide for love. He acted extremely sad and unable to accept it, and rushed over with a group of people.
Shen Ningyuan remembered the scene at that time clearly.
Ji Zehai cried so hard that he was out of breath, and looked even more sad than Chen and Ji Yunhuan.
Many people became suspicious when they saw this scene.
There were even people spreading rumors that after Ji Yunchuan went to the war, she was unwilling to remain a widow and unfaithful to her husband, so she seduced her father-in-law!
How hateful that the Ji family was. After poisoning her to death, they made her suffer these rumors for nothing!
It even implicated the Shen family!
But now, why would Ji Zehai show up in advance?
Could it be that he failed to die and disrupted the Ji family's plan, so he came here to take charge of the "overall situation"?
While Shen Ningyuan was looking at Ji Zehai, the latter was also looking at Shen Ningyuan.
He had only met his daughter-in-law, who had been married for only a year, a few times.
Only when he needed money or needed to say hello to her would he bring people to let her know.
Although they had only met briefly a few times, in his impression, Shen Ningyuan had always been a well-behaved, sensible, and simple person.
How come now, in front of so many people, you dare to force Chen to kill Ji Yunhuan with just a few words?
Thinking of this, Ji Zehai looked at Shen Ningyuan with a little more seriousness in his eyes.
"you……"
Just as Ji Zehai was about to speak, Shen Ningyuan suddenly smiled at him.
This smile stunned Ji Zehai, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth were blocked back.
Shen Ningyuan moved her feet calmly, not letting herself block the doorway and obstructing Ji Zehai’s view.
Ji Zehai was confused and didn't know what Shen Ningyuan was going to do.
When he glanced at the room where the tablets were enshrined, he was immediately dumbfounded.
He didn't care about his image at the moment and staggered and crawled into the room where the tablets were enshrined.
Looking at the ancestral tablets scattered on the ground, Ji Zehai seemed to hear the curses and roars of the Ji family's ancestors.
"Who... who did it, and what did they use!" Ji Zehai wailed, slapping his thigh.
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan raised her hand with a smile, “I did it.”
After saying this, he raised his little hand and pointed to the bamboo cane in the corner, "Use this to do it."
Ji Zehai’s eyes widened even more and he almost couldn’t breathe.
"You, you, you..." Ji Zehai pointed at Shen Ningyuan and asked angrily, "Why did you overturn the ancestral tablets of my Ji family?"
Shen Ningyuan looked a little innocent, and said quietly: "There is no other way. My sister-in-law hid the poison that was used to poison me behind the tablets of my ancestors. My mother-in-law asked me to find evidence, so I can only do this!"
"What?"
Ji Zehai was dumbfounded again.
However, seeing the reactions of the people around him, he immediately realized that Shen Ningyuan did not speak nonsense.
He immediately glared at Chen and Ji Yunhuan fiercely.
Now is a time of trouble, and he can't do anything to Chen Ningyuan!
At this time, after being slapped by the nanny, Chen took a long time to recover.
She turned to look at Ji Yunhuan, who was almost strangled to death by her, and burst into tears on the spot.
"Huan'er!"
Chen threw herself on Ji Yunhuan, crying breathlessly.
"It's my fault. I can't protect you!" Chen wailed while hugging Ji Yunhuan.
Hearing her crying, Ji Zehai's eyes were full of disgust.
I have lived in vain to such an old age that I cannot even protect the tablets of my ancestors!
Ji Zehai walked up to Chen and scolded her coldly, "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. When you encounter a problem, you don't want to find a way to solve it. You even want to strangle your own daughter to death in front of so many people... Chen, you are really great!"
After being scolded by Ji Zehai, Chen choked up and said, "Master, I didn't mean it. I don't know why... why just now..."
Chen explained incoherently.
But Ji Zehai didn't want to listen to her explanation at all, so he interrupted her and said, "Huan'er better be okay, otherwise I won't forgive you!"
Chen's neck shrank and she lowered her head in fear.
She also knew that she shouldn't strangle Ji Yunhuan.
But...she was also thinking about the Ji family's reputation!
Thinking of this, Chen felt very aggrieved.
She was clearly considering the Ji family, so why didn't Ji Zehai understand her?
Although she felt aggrieved, she did not dare to refute when being scolded by Ji Zehai.
After Chen calmed down, Ji Zehai looked at Shen Ningyuan, his expression even colder than before.
He scolded directly: “And you, as the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, you did not consider your husband’s family when you encountered problems, but forced your mother-in-law to kill your own daughter with your own hands, and also overturned the tablets of your ancestors, Shen Ningyuan, you have such a vicious heart!”
As soon as he opened his mouth, he pushed all the faults onto Shen Ningyuan.
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and sneered, “Look at what you said. My sister-in-law poisoned me, but I didn’t die obediently, so it’s my fault?”
"As for those tablets, if you want to blame someone, blame your sister-in-law. Who told her to hide the poison behind the tablets?"
Shen Ningyuan shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
Anyway, no matter how you blame others, it can't be blamed on her!
Ji Zehai's heart sank, and he said in a cold and forced voice: "It's too arbitrary to say that Huan'er poisoned me before the matter has been thoroughly investigated!"
Ji Zehai bit it to death, it was Shen Ningyuan’s fault.
Chen Ningyuan snorted coldly: “Everyone present saw everything that happened here just now. They can help me prove that it was Ji Yunhuan who poisoned me, and she admitted it herself!”
Ji Zehai looked at Ji Yunhuan, whose face was as red as a pig's liver, and said in a deep voice: "She is still young, and she may have said something wrong in panic. What's there to worry about? You shouldn't argue with a child."
"What's more, you are her elder sister-in-law, she has no reason to harm you!" Ji Zehai emphasized again.
After hearing what Ji Zehai said, everyone's suspicion of Ji Yunhuan immediately dissipated a little.
Indeed, there is no reason for an unmarried young lady to harm her elder sister-in-law.
After all, the incident became a big deal and her reputation was ruined.
Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Zehai, and asked in a cold voice: "From what Lord Ji said, is Ji Yunhuan's poisoning of me just going to be left unresolved?"
