Chapter 062: The fate of betraying the master
If the government is allowed to handle the matter, the Ji family's theft of their daughter-in-law's property will be discovered.
Isn't the good reputation that the Ji family has worked so hard to build ruined in an instant?
Thinking of this, Chen emphasized again: "We must not send him to the authorities!"
Seeing Chen's face changing again and again, looking extremely anxious, Shen Ningyuan felt so happy.
At that moment, he said bluntly, "Mother-in-law, Ji Yunhuan poisoned me a few days ago, and I accepted your insistence that he should not be sent to the authorities. But today's theft is related to the gift of the late emperor, and you still don't allow me to send him to the authorities for handling. I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"
Hearing Shen Ningyuan's aggressiveness, Chen regretted it very much.
I wanted to slap myself hard half an hour ago.
She shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.
If Ning Yuan wants to beat a servant to death, then let her beat him to death.
Why did she have to fight for this and take the opportunity to cause trouble for Shen Ningyuan?
Now look what happened, you've shot yourself in the foot!
Seeing that Chen Shi didn't speak for a long time, Shen Ningyuan asked coldly: "Mother-in-law, have you thought it through? Can my daughter-in-law beat this girl to death today?"
Now that things have come to this, what else can Chen do?
I could only grit my teeth and nod, "Since she's your girl, you can do whatever you want with her!"
As she said that, Chen glared at Shen Ningyuan, then turned and walked towards the backyard.
Halfway through the walk, he suddenly thought of something and turned around to look at Hailian who was tied to a stool.
"When you beat her to death, cover her mouth and don't let her scream. If the people outside hear her, it will affect the reputation of our Ji family!" Chen threatened, "Yunchuan's funeral will be held soon, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."
Shen Ningyuan said in a deep voice: "My daughter-in-law doesn't want to get involved, but many of the lost things were given to the Shen family by the late emperor. It doesn't seem good if we can't find them back."
"you--"
Chen was choked.
Why is Shen Ningyuan, this bitch, still staring at this matter?
After taking a deep breath, Chen gave up struggling.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, this is all a misunderstanding. Those things are locked in my warehouse. I will have my servants deliver them to you later."
Chen Ningyuan's lips curled up, with a half-smile on her face, "Oh? How did my dowry end up in my mother-in-law's warehouse?"
Chen's face changed instantly, and she twitched her lips as she made up a random excuse, "There's a big funeral in the mansion these days, and many people will come to pay their respects. I'm worried that with so many people, some thieves will sneak in and take away things from the mansion, so I put all the valuables in the courtyards of the mansion into the warehouse."
"I was originally thinking that I would return the things to you after Yunchuan's funeral. Now that you've mentioned it, I'll send it back to you!"
Chen almost said the last sentence through gritted teeth.
Originally, I was thinking of taking this opportunity to cheat Ning Yuan.
Unexpectedly, among the things she displayed, there were actually gifts from the late emperor?
“In that case…” Shen Ningyuan still had a half-smile on her face, “Mother-in-law is thoughtful.”
Hearing this, Hai Lian's eyes flashed with joy, and she raised her head and looked eagerly at Shen Ningyuan.
Those things were not lost, so does that mean she can save her life?
Unexpectedly, after Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, her gaze shifted.
When he looked at Hai Lian again, his eyes revealed a fierce look, "But this girl committed treason, she must be beaten to death!"
Not wanting to stay in this headache-inducing place any longer, after listening to Shen Ningyuan’s words, he simply waved his hand and said casually: “Since she’s your girl, you can do whatever you want with her!”
After saying that, he didn’t even look at Shen Ningyuan again, and walked away holding back the anger in his chest.
Seeing Chen's leaving back, Hai Lian's eyes instantly lost their light.
Seeing the coldness in Shen Ningyuan's eyes again, Hai Lian knew that she would really be beaten to death, and began to struggle violently again.
The ropes that bound her were about to break loose.
Two maids ran over and held her hands tightly, preventing her from breaking free.
When Hailian no longer had the strength to struggle, the two maids immediately tightened the ropes and tied Hailian tightly to the wooden bench.
At this time, Shen Ningyuan gently waved her hand at the two maids, "Go ahead!"
"Yes, Miss!"
After saying that, the two maids picked up the bamboo sticks beside them and beat Hai Lian hard.
Each time, there was a very loud sound.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan took two steps forward and looked down at Hai Lian from above.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan coming over, the two maids stopped what they were doing.
Shen Ningyuan raised her hand, her voice was very cold, "No need to stop, keep fighting."
Hearing this, the two maids continued fighting.
The bamboo stick hit Hailian again and again, causing her to sweat profusely and her eyes to be bloodshot due to the pain.
Hai Lian stretched out her hand tremblingly and grabbed the hem of Shen Ningyuan's skirt, her eyes full of pleading.
"Want to beg me to let you go?" Shen Ningyuan asked softly.
Hai Lian nodded hypocritically, her eyes full of hope.
She knew that Shen Ningyuan was a soft-hearted person, and she would definitely not really beat herself to death.
But it turned out that she was going to be disappointed.
Seeing the pleading in Hailian's eyes, Shen Ningyuan squatted down and slowly approached Hailian.
He asked softly, "From the look in your eyes, are you sure that I will let you go?"
Hearing this, Hailian's tears flowed even more violently and she nodded even more vigorously.
“Do you know?” Shen Ningyuan took another step closer, almost close to Hai Lian’s ear, “I knew from the beginning that those things were stolen by Chen.”
Hai Lian's pupils shrank, and she looked at Shen Ningyuan in disbelief.
"Want to know why I framed you?" Shen Ningyuan asked.
"Because..." Chen Ningyuan's voice was cold and expressionless, "When the poison took effect and I lay on the coffin and struggled violently, and reached out to you, you didn't save me."
"Is the look in my eyes at that time exactly the same as yours now?"
"At that time, I really thought that since you had been by my side for so long, you would save me."
"But you didn't. You looked at me and turned away."
“So…” Shen Ningyuan paused for a moment and said coldly: “You deserve to die.”
Three words.
It directly determined Hai Lian’s life or death.
Hai Lian's eyes, which were full of hope at the beginning, slowly turned into despair.
Shen Ningyuan stood up and signaled the two maids with her eyes to continue to work hard.
After getting Shen Ningyuan's hint, the two maids became even more ruthless.
But after being hit dozens of times, Hai Lian was in so much pain that she didn't even have the strength to struggle.
Seeing that Hai Lian was slowly dying, Shen Ningyuan immediately turned around and walked towards the gate.
After Luying cleaned up the yard, she immediately ran to the front yard to help, fearing that Shen Ningyuan would suffer any loss.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she reached the front yard, she saw Shen Ningyuan walking outside, and Lu Ying hurriedly chased after her.
While chasing after her, he asked, "Young... Madam, we just returned to the Ji family, why are you going out again?"
After Lu Ying caught up with Shen Ningyuan, she asked anxiously, "Young Madam, where are you going?"
Shen Ningyuan did not stop and explained to Lu Ying beside her: "After dealing with Hai Lian, I should go... to pick her up."
