Chapter 111: Eye contact
Ji Zehai and the Taoist priest's eyes met, Shen Ningyuan saw it clearly and immediately noticed that there was something wrong between them.
I thought to myself: Is the Ji family planning something again?
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan's heart sank.
Ji family, is this ever going to end?
But then I thought, Dad and elder brother are here, so there's nothing to worry about.
“Woo——”
Just as Shen Ningyuan was thinking, the Taoist priest hummed softly, bringing her back to reality from her trance.
Looking up, I saw the Taoist priest gently waving his hand, and the dust was blown away.
Then, two Taoists walked out steadily from the crowd and sat cross-legged in front of the coffin.
It looks like they are going to start a ritual.
"The living retreat, the relatives kneel!"
The Taoist priest's loud voice echoed in the ancestral hall.
As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of people from the Ji family knelt in unison in front of the coffins of Ji Yunchuan and Ji Yunhuan.
Ji Zehai and several elders of the Ji family knelt in the first place.
Shen Ningyuan knew these elders and could even clearly say each of their names!
In her previous life, every time her death anniversary came, the Ji family would, under the leadership of these people, hold grand sacrifices and rituals under the chastity arch.
On the one hand, they were afraid that she would turn into a ghost and escape, so they performed a ritual to capture her soul.
On the other hand, it was to remind the world that their Ji family had produced a chaste and heroic woman, and that they were a truly chaste family.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan gritted his teeth secretly and suppressed the hatred in his heart.
After glaring at these people, he knelt side by side with Chen.
The moment she leaned over, Chen Ningyuan clearly heard Chen muttering, "Huan'er, although it was mother who bewitched you to kill Chen Ningyuan, you messed up everything yourself. You slipped and fell into the lake and drowned. That was your own fate, so you can't blame mother. If you have any confidants or hatred in the afterlife, go find Chen Ningyuan, don't come to mother!"
After hearing this, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
It's really ridiculous!
At this point, it’s fine that Chen doesn’t show any apology or sadness, but she is still thinking about this matter!
As a mother of two children, she is shameless to the extreme.
Then, Chen continued to mutter in a low voice: "Huan'er, we are mother and daughter. If you are in heaven, please protect me from being caught by that little bitch Chen Ningyuan. Please protect me from being safe and living a long life!"
Shen Ningyuan: “…”
Chen almost said the last sentence silently.
But Shen Ningyuan had excellent hearing and could still hear it clearly, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little more complicated.
Having such a selfish mother, it doesn't seem unfair that Ji Yunhuan died in her own hands.
"Open the coffin!"
At this moment, the Taoist priest shouted loudly, and Chen was so frightened that her body trembled.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ningyuan sneered again.
She couldn't imagine how guilty Chen must have felt to be so frightened that she trembled.
When several big men went to carry the coffin, Shen Ningyuan looked around and found nothing unusual in the crowd.
I couldn't help but wonder, after Ji Yunchuan killed Cui Mingzhu in the villa, didn't he return to the Marquis' Mansion?
After all, not everyone can have the experience of seeing themselves being buried with their own eyes.
When Shen Ningyuan looked around, a pair of vicious and resentful eyes were also staring at Shen Ningyuan.
Just as Shen Ningyuan expected, after Ji Yunchuan left the villa, he returned to the Marquis' Mansion without stopping and hid in the crowd.
Through the gap in the crowd, Ji Yunchuan stared at Shen Ningyuan with a cold expression.
At this moment, the contempt in his eyes was no longer there.
Become more cautious.
After all, he still underestimated Shen Ningyuan!
He should have been more wary of Shen Ningyuan after the failed poisoning at the funeral!
If he had planned earlier, Cui Mingzhu would not have been tricked by that disgusting homeless man...
Thinking of that unbearable scene, Ji Yunchuan's anger began to rise again.
He knew very well that Cui Mingzhu was plotted against and it must be related to Shen Ningyuan!
But there was still one thing that Ji Yunchuan couldn't figure out.
Why did Chen help Chen Ningyuan and send the crowd away to leave the ancestral hall to Chen Ningyuan?
While Ji Yunchuan was thinking, the crowd began to get restless.
Following the Taoist priest's order, the Ji family's male members stepped forward in groups of eight and lifted up the coffin.
Ji Yunchuan looked at his coffin, which was being lifted up easily, and he couldn't help feeling a little weird.
This scene is weird no matter how you look at it.
As the two coffins were lifted up, a group of people walked out of the ancestral hall in a mighty procession.
Shen Ningyuan slowly moved forward with the funeral procession, with Shen Potian and Shen Haobai following closely behind.
His heart and eyes were filled with Shen Ningyuan, fearing that she would be in a bad mood and do something stupid.
After taking a step, Shen Haobai looked around and suddenly noticed something was wrong.
He quickly turned around and asked Shen Potian, “Dad, have you noticed that Cui Mingzhu is missing?”
Hearing this, Shen Potian frowned instantly, and his eyes quickly turned around.
He nodded and replied, "Yeah, it's true that no one can be seen."
Then, Shen Potian asked, “When did she leave?”
Shen Haobai shook his head, "I'm not sure, it seems that when we were in the front hall, she said she was going to the ancestral hall to accompany her sister, and then she never saw her again!"
Hearing this, Shen Potian’s face darkened, and a trace of worry appeared in his eyes, “You arrange two people to find her, and make sure she is safe.”
"Okay, father," Shen Haobai responded.
Although he knew in his heart what kind of person Cui Mingzhu was.
But at the moment, he had promised Shen Ningyuan that he would not let Shen Potian and Cui Jin know Cui Mingzhu’s true identity.
Seeing Shen Haobai turning around to leave, Shen Potian stopped him and specifically instructed: “Haobai, after you finish this matter and return to the funeral procession, you must keep an eye on your sister and never let her do anything stupid.”
"Yes, I understand, father." Shen Haobai agreed quickly.
Because he knew in his heart that the current Shen Ningyuan was not someone who would do stupid things.
Arranged two people to find Cui Mingzhu, when Shen Haobai came back, he saw that there was no one around Shen Ningyuan.
Leaning over calmly, Shen Ningyuan looked up at Shen Haobai and asked, “Brother, what’s the matter?”
Shen Haobai frowned and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: “Sister, Cui Mingzhu is missing!”
Shen Ningyuan nodded lightly, “I know.”
Shen Haobai’s eyes widened immediately, “You know?”
"Where did she go?" Shen Haobai asked again.
"Dead."
Shen Ningyuan did not hide anything and said in a calm tone.
Shen Haobai immediately became anxious and asked nervously, "How did he die?"
"Killed by Ji Yunchuan."
"Killed by Ji Yunchuan——"
Shen Haobai was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyes and looked at Shen Haobai calmly.
He placed his index finger between his lips and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Shen Haobai immediately understood that Shen Ningyuan’s calculations must be behind this.
Then he didn't ask any more questions, just told Shen Ningyuan to be careful, and then turned around and retreated to Shen Potian.
As the funeral procession walked out of the marquis's mansion, the people waiting outside to pay their respects also joined the procession.
At this time, Ji Yunchuan was at the very end of the team, feeling extremely awkward.
Hearing the Taoist priest talking about his "life" and "battle achievements" in a very proud manner, Ji Yunchuan wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Unexpectedly, this happened during Ji Yunchuan’s lifetime.
Not only did he attend his own funeral, but he also witnessed that unbearable scene on the same day.
All of this is thanks to Shen Ningyuan!
Now that Cui Mingzhu is dead, there is no need to keep Shen Ningyuan.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan's eyes, full of murderous intent, locked tightly on Shen Ningyuan's back.
This damn bitch must die!
Shen Ningyuan vaguely sensed something and subconsciously turned around to look.
When he turned around, he met Ji Yunchuan's murderous gaze!
