Chapter 108: The mystery behind the scenes
The man had a black mask on his face, so his appearance couldn't be seen clearly.
But he was thin, with a belt around his narrow waist.
Looking from the side, one could vaguely see the figure of a woman.
Shen Ningyuan stood in the dark and slowly retracted his hand.
With his brows slightly furrowed, he stared calmly at the man outside.
Who is this person?
Why did he appear in her villa?
What is the relationship between him and Ji Yunchuan?
A series of questions exploded in Shen Ningyuan's mind.
At this time, Yi Ge asked in a low voice: "Miss, do you want me to go out and send someone to give them to..."
Before Yi Ge could finish his words, Shen Ningyuan raised her hand to interrupt him.
"No, I want to see what these people are going to do!"
Hearing this, Yi Ge had no choice but to give up and retreated silently.
At this time, in the room outside, the masked man was staring at Cui Mingzhu's body.
He made a clicking sound: "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Ji Yunchuan is really cruel, he can be so cruel to his own woman and flesh and blood!"
Just as the words fell, another female voice interrupted: "Your Highness chose Ji Yunchuan that day, wasn't it because of his ruthlessness?"
Your Highness?
The masked man is a member of the royal family!
Realizing that the man was from a royal family, the fog that had previously shrouded Shen Ningyuan's heart suddenly dissipated.
She should have thought of it earlier.
Apart from the royal family, who else would covet the Shen family's military power and property?
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan couldn’t help but feel excited.
She finally got a glimpse of the truth behind the Shen family’s extermination in the previous life!
When Shen Ningyuan was getting excited, the masked man's deep voice came: "I chose him because of his ruthlessness, but now seeing that he can be so cruel to his wife and children, I am a little scared. I always feel that one day, he will stab me in the back."
After hearing this, the woman who had spoken just now immediately assured: "Your Highness can rest assured, the Ji family has always been under my surveillance. Ji Yunchuan can't cause any trouble, and it will not affect Your Highness's plan!"
This time, the woman spoke louder.
Shen Ningyuan heard it clearly and was startled.
This voice looks so familiar, she seems to have heard it somewhere before?
Unfortunately, the woman was out of Xiao Kong's sight, so he couldn't see her appearance or figure clearly.
While Shen Ningyuan was thinking, the masked man said coldly: “Ji Yunchuan can’t affect this king’s plan, but Shen Ningyuan can!”
When calling out the name "Chen Ningyuan", the masked man deliberately emphasized his tone.
Hearing this, the woman stopped talking and seemed to agree with what the man said.
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan, who was hiding in the dark, heard her name from the masked man and her eyes widened.
From what he said, it seems that she is an indispensable part of their plan?
It was just that after her rebirth, she was not poisoned to death at the funeral, disrupting their plans.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan looked at the masked man carefully, trying to find some clues from him.
At this time, the man suddenly turned his back and ordered in a cold voice: "Take Cui Mingzhu's body away, I want to give the Shen family a surprise!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two men in black came in and carried Cui Mingzhu's body away.
Shen Ningyuan didn't care what happened to Cui Mingzhu's body.
What she cared more about was the identity of the masked man.
Just as Shen Ningyuan was thinking, the man seemed to notice something and suddenly looked in the direction of Shen Ningyuan.
Shen Ningyuan was startled and immediately took two steps to the side.
"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" the woman asked.
The man shook his head. "Nothing. I just had a feeling that someone was watching me from behind."
"Your Highness must be worrying too much. This villa of the Shen family has been uninhabited for a long time. It's just that recently, Cui Mingzhu and Ji Yunchuan got carried away and wanted to use the Shen family's villa to rest their pregnancies." The woman explained immediately.
"I hope so!" The masked man's voice turned cold.
Then, he suddenly asked, "By the way, are the killers ready?"
"Your Highness, everything is ready."
"That's right, today's assassination plan must succeed and not fail!"
Killer? Assassination?
Who do they want to kill?
Shen Ningyuan widened her eyes, feeling panic in her heart.
This didn’t seem to happen in my previous life.
"Let's go, get out. The smell of blood here is making my nose uncomfortable."
With that, the masked man turned and walked out the door.
As he turned around, the jade pendant on his waist swayed.
Shen Ningyuan's eyes were attracted by the jade pendant, and she couldn't help but take a closer look.
Upon seeing this, Shen Ningyuan's eyes widened instantly.
She has seen this jade pendant!
Not long ago, when I met the deposed Crown Prince Xie Wanzhou in the palace, he also had a jade pendant of the same size hanging around his waist.
Even the patterns on the jade pendants are exactly the same!
It was not until the footsteps faded away that Shen Ningyuan slowly came back to her senses.
Could it be that Xie Wanzhou was the person behind Ji Yunchuan who harmed the Shen family?
But on second thought, if a deposed prince wants to regain the throne, he must need the support of some loyal ministers.
Daddy has always remained neutral and will not support any prince.
Since Xie Wanzhou couldn't get the support of the Shen family, he came up with this plan, using Ji Yunchuan to get the military power and property of the Shen family!
After sorting it out, Shen Ningyuan gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Xie Wanzhou, you deserve to die!
If she doesn't tear him into pieces, she will have lived this life in vain!
Yi Ge was startled when he heard the sound of Chen Ningyuan grinding her teeth.
He called out immediately, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Ningyuan did not respond, so Yi Ge went straight to her and pushed her gently.
"Miss, can you hear me?"
Shen Ningyuan came back to her senses and asked, "Has everyone left?"
Yi Ge nodded, "He left a long time ago, there's no one outside anymore."
"Okay, let's go back quickly. The funeral is about to start, so we can't stay outside for too long."
"Uh-huh."
Yi Ge nodded and left the secret room with Shen Ningyuan.
When walking out of the villa, Shen Ningyuan was in deep thought, and the jade pendant kept appearing in his mind.
She gritted her teeth and swore secretly: She would definitely kill Xie Wanzhou with her own hands and avenge her family who were turned into human pigs in the previous life!
On the way back, Yi Ge suddenly thought of something and asked, "Miss, the body of my cousin is still in the hands of those people. Should we send someone to get it back?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, “No, they will send it back.”
Since Xie Wanzhou said that he wanted to give the Shen family a surprise.
Then she would wait and see what tricks he was going to play!
After an incense stick of time, Shen Ningyuan returned to the Ji family.
Fortunately, there are many people coming and going in the Ji family today.
When she went out, no one noticed that she had left.
After returning to her own yard, Lan Yin and Lu Ying walked towards her.
"Miss, you are finally back!"
The two were extremely anxious, fearing that something might happen to Shen Ningyuan.
"What's the matter?" Shen Ningyuan asked softly.
Seeing how anxious the two were, Shen Ningyuan knew that something must have happened while she was away.
Lan Yin quickly explained: "Miss, a big shot came to see you just now, and we said you were not feeling well and were resting in your room, so we sent him away."
Shen Ningyuan frowned, "Who is it?"
"This... Luying and I don't know his identity either. He came here in a wheelchair and claimed to be an old friend of the young lady in the palace. He came to the Marquis' Mansion today to pay his respects and wanted to meet the young lady by the way!"
wheelchair?
Thanks for the boat!
Except Xie Wanzhou, no one in the palace uses a wheelchair.
Did he come to find me after leaving the villa?
When Shen Ningyuan was suspicious, Lan Yin suddenly thought of something.
He turned around, picked up a jade pendant, handed it to Shen Ningyuan, and said, “By the way, Miss, that person also left this jade pendant, saying that if Miss needs it, you can take this jade pendant to find him in the palace.”
Shen Ningyuan took the jade pendant and after seeing the pattern on it clearly, her pupils shrank again in shock.
