Chapter 034: The rumor has changed
Finally, when the crowd was rushing towards Yushang Pavilion, Ji Yunchuan turned around and walked in the opposite direction.
Just at this moment, Shen Ningyuan turned around and noticed Ji Yunchuan at a glance.
This familiar back figure made Shen Ningyuan's eyes linger.
Shen Ningyuan whispered, “Why does this back look so much like Ji Yunchuan?”
“Yuan’er, what are you looking at?” Song Yan’er noticed Shen Ningyuan’s gaze and couldn’t help but ask.
Shen Ningyuan turned her head and looked at Song Yaner, shook her head and said, “Sister-in-law, I didn’t see anything.”
After she finished replying to Song Yaner, when she looked back, the figure had disappeared in the crowd.
Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but frowned.
After thinking for a moment, he put the idea behind him.
"Yuan'er, let's go back quickly. Our family must be waiting anxiously." Song Yan'er reminded.
Shen Ningyuan responded, and followed Song Yaner into the carriage back to the Shen family.
Along the way, the familiar figure just now kept flashing through Shen Ningyuan's mind.
For some reason, she had a vague feeling that the man was Ji Yunchuan.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan's heart sank.
If that person was really Ji Yunchuan, it could only mean that Ji Yunchuan had begun to watch his every move.
This is not a good thing for her.
"Yuan'er, listen to what the people outside are saying."
Just as Shen Ningyuan was deep in thought, Song Yaner's reminder rang in his ears.
Shen Ningyuan came back to her senses and immediately pricked up her ears to listen to the conversation of the people outside the carriage.
"I said the rumors might be false. If Shen Ningyuan really did something shameless, how dare the Shen family let her out in such a high profile?"
"Yes, I heard that when the wife and daughter of the Ji family left Yushang Pavilion, their faces were as ugly as they could be. If they really caught Chen Ningyuan's handle, would they be driven away in such a miserable way?"
"That's right. I think we should wait and see how this matter will be handled in the end. Anyway, the seventh day after the death of the eldest son of the Ji family is coming soon."
"Yes, let's wait and see for a while..."
Hearing these words, Shen Ningyuan curled up the corners of her mouth into a smile.
When she looked up, Song Yan'er was looking at her and smiling. She said, "Yuan'er, you are really amazing. You turned the situation around in an instant and gradually made public opinion lean towards us."
"How do you know that the rumors will change as soon as we show up?" Song Yan'er asked again.
"Because the people don't care about the truth at all. They only believe what they see and hear, and then turn what they see and hear into what they want."
"As I said at the beginning, the more rumors spread, the more we do nothing, the more it will appear that we are guilty. This is what the Ji family wants to see, but it is not what the people want to see."
"So once we show up, we will break the people's perception that we are guilty... This way, our situation will be reversed."
Song Yaner's eyes lit up, "So that's the case!"
"Um."
Shen Ningyuan nodded, and had completely erased the figure from her mind.
Soon, the carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion.
After Shen Ningyuan got off the car, she saw her mother and eldest brother already waiting at the door. She didn't know how long they had been waiting.
"Yuan'er, Yan'er, you are finally back!"
Seeing the two people get off the carriage, Shen Haobai and Cui Jin immediately walked forward.
Cui Jin walked towards Shen Ningyuan, and Shen Haobai walked towards Song Yaner.
"Yuan'er, you scared your mother to death. There are so many rumors outside, how dare you run around?" Cui Jin couldn't help feeling scared.
Shen Haobai hugged Song Yaner and breathed a sigh of relief, “Fortunately, you are back safely.”
Then he looked at Song Yaner's abdomen, "The baby didn't bother you, did he?"
Song Yaner pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head, "No, the child is very well behaved."
Song Yan'er and Shen Haobai looked at their abdomens together, their eyes sparkling, "Husband, I think this baby must be a daughter, look how cute she is..."
Shen Haobai chuckled, "That's great. If I give birth to a daughter with big eyes like Yan'er, I will have my own little cotton-padded jacket in the future!"
Shen Ningyuan heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but tilt her head to look at them, with inexplicable emotions in her eyes.
My eldest brother and sister-in-law must be a pair of parents who love their children.
My little nephew in my previous life should have lived a peaceful and happy life under the care of his parents.
But in the end, he was turned into a human pig by Ji Yunchuan!
Shen Ningyuan was furious and couldn't help but remind herself again.
This time, Ji Yunchuan will have no chance of succeeding!
"Yuan'er, why are you suddenly grinding your teeth?" Cui Jin asked puzzledly.
Shen Ningyuan came back to her senses at this point. It turned out that she had just revealed the hatred in her heart without realizing it.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan immediately restrained her expression and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, my teeth just suddenly itched and I wanted to grind them."
Cui Jin glanced at Chen Ningyuan and said, "You have had the habit of grinding your teeth since you were a child, and you still can't change it even at this age."
"Mother, I'm glad that Yuan'er and Yan'er are back safely. It's windy outside, let's go in quickly." Shen Haobai hugged Song Yan'er and walked into the general's mansion, "Second brother and father should be back soon, let's wait for them inside."
"That's right, it's windy outside, let's go in quickly!"
Chen immediately reacted, holding Shen Ningyuan’s hand and walking towards the mansion.
When they arrived at the front hall, not long after the four of them sat down, Cui Mingzhu appeared at an inopportune time.
After entering the room, Cui Mingzhu deliberately exposed her hands wrapped with meat dumplings and bowed weakly.
After seeing Cui Mingzhu's wound, Shen Haobai immediately frowned and asked, "Cousin, how come your hand is so seriously injured?"
As soon as the voice fell, Cui Mingzhu subconsciously glanced at Shen Ningyuan, and then pretended to be weak and said: "It's all my fault that I was careless and got hit by the door. I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Shen Haobai frowned even more, "The doors in the mansion are all good, how could they suddenly break my hand? And it was broken so badly?"
Cui Mingzhu was just waiting for this sentence.
As soon as Shen Haobai finished speaking, Cui Mingzhu's eyes immediately turned red. She was about to start crying, but was suddenly interrupted by Song Yaner.
"It was hit by the door, it was hit by the door, and you still ask how it was hit, and why it was hit so badly? Shen Haobai, do you still have a heart? Aren't you rubbing salt into your cousin's wounds?"
After Song Yaner finished speaking, she stretched out her index finger and poked Shen Haobai’s forehead.
He scolded: "You, you have no sense at all."
Shen Haobai immediately "surrendered": "My wife is right, I really shouldn't rub salt into my cousin's wounds."
Then he looked at Cui Mingzhu and apologized earnestly, "Cousin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask these questions. You... take good care of your wounds. If you need any herbs for injuries, just tell me and I'll find them for you!"
Seeing Shen Haobai's sincere apology, Cui Mingzhu felt as if something was blocking her heart and she felt very aggrieved.
There was a voice in my heart, constantly clamoring: Chen Haobai, you idiot, you can ask, I beg you to ask quickly!
But when the words came to his lips, they became: "Thank you for your concern, cousin. Mingzhu must take good care of herself..."
