Chapter 032: The marriage is over, Shen Ningyuan does not take her husband's surname
Shen Ningyuan did not notice this scene.
Chen, who was standing at the door, felt even more proud as she listened to the people's "condemnation" of Shen Ningyuan.
She must take advantage of today's opportunity to bring Shen Ningyuan down in one fell swoop.
Let Shen Ningyuan lose her reputation and let her roll back to the Ji family like a dog!
Thinking of this, Chen pointed at the people outside who were talking about it, and yelled at Chen Ningyuan: “Chen Ningyuan, did you hear that? People outside are spitting on you. Tell me honestly, have you found a new employer?”
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled, "Mother-in-law, the whole capital knows that after Yunchuan went to war, I never left the house. I stayed in the Ji Mansion to serve my parents-in-law and take care of the whole family. How could I have the chance to find another husband?"
Chen immediately retorted, "I don't believe it! If you hadn't found a buyer, why would you be in such a hurry to buy new clothes? Do you need these few clothes?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled softly, "Madam Ji, you misunderstood. I was accompanying my sister-in-law to go out and buy clothes, not to buy new clothes for myself. It's just that my sister-in-law thought that Yunchuan had just left, and was afraid that I would be bored at home for a long time, so she took me out to relax."
"If you say so, then it is so. I don't believe it!" Chen insisted on this point.
Shen Ningyuan shrugged, “If Madam Ji doesn’t believe me, go ask the owner of this store if I bought myself new clothes.”
Just as he finished speaking, the head of Yushang Pavilion just came out from the inner room, holding a large bag of something in his hand, "Miss Shen, I have found the clothes you asked me to prepare for you."
When Chen saw what was in the manager's hand, her eyes lit up instantly.
Pointing at the head, he shouted, “Chen Ningyuan, you said you didn’t buy yourself any clothes, so what is in the head’s hand?”
As she spoke, Chen rushed to the head clerk, snatched the thing from his hand, and ran towards the entrance of Yushang Pavilion with it.
After running out of the door, Chen shook out everything in the cloth bag.
While shaking, she shouted loudly: "Come and see, this is the good daughter-in-law our Ji family married. Her husband's body is still warm, but she is busy buying herself new clothes. This clearly shows that she doesn't take the Ji family seriously and deliberately mistreats my poor son!"
After shaking, Chen stepped on it hard a few times.
After venting her anger, Chen found that the people's reaction was not what she expected, which was to angrily attack Shen Ningyuan.
On the contrary, everyone looked at what Chen shook out with weird expressions on their faces.
After a while, Chen also reacted. The situation seemed to be different from what she thought.
Why didn't these people jump out and accuse Shen Ningyuan?
Just at this moment, Ji Yunhuan came over and carefully pulled Chen's sleeve.
"Mom, look..."
Ji Yunhuan pointed at the things that were shaken out.
Chen looked suspiciously in the direction of Ji Yunhuan's finger.
This sight made Chen's eyes widen instantly.
There was an exclamation on the spot, "How is it possible?"
What Chen had just shaken out was indeed a pile of clothes, but they were not clothes for women.
"What's going on? Didn't Shen Ningyuan say she was out buying new clothes for herself? How come she shook out a bunch of men's clothes?"
"It's really strange, and these clothes are... all old styles, long out of date."
"Yeah yeah……"
The people looked at the pile of clothes with inquiring eyes.
Chen didn't come back to her senses for a long time, looking at the clothes on the ground in surprise, "How, how could this happen?"
Then, he turned around and glared at Shen Ningyuan in surprise, gnashing his teeth and asking, “Shen Ningyuan, why did you buy these clothes?”
When asked by Chen, Shen Ningyuan suddenly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and pretended to cry.
"Mrs. Ji, these are all clothes I customized for Yunchuan. Why did you throw all my gifts to Yunchuan on the ground without asking any questions? And you even stepped on them twice?"
As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan continued to cry and accuse, "I know you have always disliked me as your daughter-in-law, but these are my feelings for Yunchuan. Why do you want to trample on my love for Yunchuan?"
"What? These clothes were all custom-made by you for Yunchuan?" Chen's eyes were full of disbelief.
Chen Ningyuan wiped her tears and nodded while crying, "Since Yunchuan went to war a year ago, I have come here every once in a while to customize a set of clothes for Yunchuan, just waiting for him to come back and wear them, but I didn't expect that Yunchuan died on the battlefield before he could even wear the clothes I picked for him!"
"How I wish Yunchuan could return safely and wear the clothes I made for him!"
"But now, I can only burn these clothes for him!"
As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan cried even more sadly.
Hearing this, Chen's gaze towards Shen Ningyuan became somewhat complicated.
Especially when I saw her crying so sadly, I didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, the onlookers looked at Shen Ningyuan with eyes full of shock.
It turned out that Shen Ningyuan was not buying new clothes for herself, but was burning her thoughts for her late husband.
In this world, there is actually a woman who is so loyal and loves her husband!
And the man wearing a cloak who was hiding in the crowd was so shocked that his eyes trembled slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Shen Ningyuan.
At this moment, his mood was extremely complicated.
Shen Ningyuan also noticed this gaze, and while wiping her tears, she looked up and glanced.
The man quickly lowered his head and pulled the brim of his hat down again.
Chen looked at Shen Ningyuan, whose eyes were slightly red, still feeling a little unwilling.
He looked at the person in charge beside him and asked in a deep voice, "You said, did Chen Ningyuan really not buy any new clothes today?"
The manager shook his head and answered truthfully: "Madam, indeed not. Miss Shen just came to accompany her sister-in-law to buy new clothes."
As he spoke, the manager glanced at the clothes on the ground and continued to add: "As for these clothes, they were indeed made by Miss Shen for the eldest son of the Ji family in the past year."
Chen was startled, and looked at Shen Ningyuan even more unwillingly.
She originally thought that she could drag Shen Ningyuan into the water today, but who would have thought that in the end, it would be a waste of time!
Moreover, she lost face in front of so many people.
Thinking of this, Chen's breathing became a little rapid.
Then, she suddenly realized something and turned to look at the head of Yushang Pavilion, "What did you call her just now? Miss Shen?"
At the end, Chen's tone suddenly became sharp, "She is still the daughter-in-law of my Ji family, why do you call her Miss Shen?"
The headmaster glanced at Shen Ningyuan and said nothing.
Chen glared at Chen Ningyuan again, "Tell me, why did he call you Miss Chen? Did you two have an affair for a long time?"
Being accused without reason by Chen, the person in charge's face changed and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
At the same time, everyone's eyes were looking back and forth between Shen Ningyuan and the person in charge.
Seeing this, Chen smiled smugly again and looked at Shen Ningyuan provocatively.
But Shen Ningyuan remained expressionless and glanced at Chen calmly.
She opened her red lips and said, "Mrs. Ji just said that the Ji family doesn't recognize me as their daughter-in-law. How come now, they acknowledge my identity as the daughter-in-law of the Ji family?"
Chen's face was grim, and she said in a deep voice: "Don't hold on to this matter, just tell everyone why the head of Yushang Pavilion called you Miss Chen!"
"I told him to call me that." Chen Ningyuan's eyes darkened as she looked back at Chen and said word by word, "My husband has passed away. From now on, our relationship is over. Chen Ningyuan will not use my husband's surname!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
