Chapter 117: Getting the Dowry Back
Shen Ningyuan followed his gaze.
There was no one on the slope over there.
Shen Ningyuan then withdrew his gaze and put the sword on his neck again.
He asked coldly, "How can I trust you if you don't even want to say this?"
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Shen Haobai quickly persuaded: "Yuan'er, can you just trust your elder brother this time? Today's assassination really has nothing to do with Xie Wanzhou. Can you swear in your own name?"
As he spoke, Shen Haobai raised his right hand and was about to swear to the sky.
Seeing him like this, Shen Ningyuan became anxious.
He quickly stopped her and said, "Brother, don't do this. I trust you!"
After saying that, Shen Ningyuan gritted his teeth and retracted the sword that was on Luo Ziyuan's neck.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."
She could see that Shen Haobai had something to hide.
But it doesn’t matter, since he doesn’t want to say it, then forget it.
She would investigate it.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan glared at Luo Ziyuan fiercely.
Luo Ziyuan suddenly felt aggrieved, and said with a bitter face: "Sister Ning Yuan, this assassination really has nothing to do with us. For the sake of my pretty face, can you please trust me once?"
Seeing him pretending, Shen Ningyuan became even angrier and warned him coldly: "Luo Ziyuan, go back and tell Xie Wanzhou that no matter whether today's assassination has anything to do with him, I will definitely investigate his calculations against the Shen family behind the scenes!"
Luo Ziyuan was stunned, and subconsciously asked: "You...you know everything?"
Did Shen Ningyuan see through Xie Wanzhou's silent protection of the Shen family behind the scenes?
Shen Ningyuan's expression changed instantly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, then why were you pretending to be confused just now!"
Luo Ziyuan paused and opened his mouth to speak.
But at this time, Shen Potian had just dealt with the last assassin, and rushed over covered in blood, and asked with a worried look on his face: “Yuan’er, are you okay?”
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "I'm fine, is Daddy injured?"
General Shen smiled nonchalantly: "It's all the blood of these bastards. Yuan'er, don't worry. Daddy is not injured."
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly swept to Luo Ziyuan.
General Shen frowned and said, "Where did this androgynous thing come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ziyuan's eyes widened instantly, and he subconsciously wanted to refute.
But when he saw General Shen gasping for breath, he immediately held his breath and said nothing.
Shen Ningyuan said coldly: “Dad, ignore him, let’s go back.”
General Shen nodded: "Okay."
Having said that, Shen Ningyuan got straight into the carriage.
Shen Haobai hesitated to speak, as if he wanted to explain something to her.
But due to the presence of General Shen, he shut his mouth in disappointment.
He just jumped into the carriage silently and drove away.
The father and son, one driving the car and the other riding a horse, escorted Shen Ningyuan back to the Marquis' Mansion.
Luo Ziyuan watched them leave with a sullen look on his face.
I originally wanted to help, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this?
It’s over, it’s over. It seems that he left a bad impression on the young widow.
At this time, footsteps were heard behind me.
Luo Ziyuan didn't even need to turn around, and said directly: "The little widow seems to have some misunderstandings about you, what should I do?"
Xie Wanzhou walked to Luo Ziyuan's side and watched with him as the carriage disappeared into the depths of the woods.
After a while, Xie Wanzhou said puzzledly: "I can see it, but I can't understand why she thinks that this assassination was arranged by me?"
"I don't know, have you offended her in some way?" Luo Ziyuan asked again.
Xie Wanzhou shook his head, "No."
"Do you believe what you said?" Luo Ziyuan rolled his eyes at him, "I can see that the little widow really wanted to kill me just now. If Shen Haobai hadn't stopped her, I would have died long ago!"
As he spoke, Luo Ziyuan shrank his neck: "This is the first time in my life that a woman dares to hold a sword to my neck."
Xie Wanzhou responded coldly: "You deserve it. You asked for it."
"What do you mean you deserve it? I was just trying to help, but who knew she would react so strongly?"
Luo Ziyuan suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xie Wanzhou: "By the way, when she said 'I'm yours' just now, her tone was a little strange. Is there something you didn't tell me?"
Xie Wanzhou: "..."
Luo Ziyuan looked distressed, and Xie Wanzhou said nothing.
Luo Ziyuan pressed on: "Xie Wanzhou, are you hiding something from me?"
Xie Wanzhou: "."
What do you want him to say?
Tell Luo Ziyuan that Shen Ningyuan thinks they are a couple and that he is his mistress outside the palace?
Sorry, he couldn't say it.
Thinking of this, Xie Wanzhou stopped talking nonsense with Luo Ziyuan and turned to look at the corpse in front of him.
"With so many assassins, Xie Yumin has invested a lot of money."
Xie Wanzhou's eyebrows sank: "It seems that he is really going to attack the Shen family when he returns to Beijing this time!"
Luo Ziyuan also calmed down and asked seriously: "Then what did they think about your previous visit to Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue?"
Xie Wanzhou shook his head: "They haven't responded to me yet, but they are smart people and know what to choose."
"General Shen has always remained neutral. This matter... is very difficult!"
"It doesn't matter, they will figure it out."
This is a matter of life and death for the Shen family, and General Shen knows what to choose.
When turning to leave, Xie Wanzhou suddenly reminded: "By the way, you are not allowed to harass her again in the future."
Luo Ziyuan didn't react for a moment and wondered who the "she" Xie Wanzhou was referring to was.
Then Xie Wanzhou continued, "You are not allowed to call her the little widow anymore."
Luo Ziyuan: “?”
What a great Xie Wanzhou is! For the sake of the young widow, he even gave up his junior brother!
-
On the way back to the Marquis’ Mansion, Shen Potian and his son had gloomy faces, and no one said a word.
Thinking of today's sudden assassination, they felt heavy in their hearts.
We don’t even know who is plotting against the Shen family behind the scenes!
Shen Potian examined the assassin's body, originally wanting to see if there was any evidence left on the assassin's body!
But after searching around, he still found nothing!
At this time, Shen Ningyuan suddenly opened the curtain and called softly: "Daddy, brother."
Shen Potian asked, “Yuan’er, what’s the matter?”
Chen Ningyuan said calmly: "Taking advantage of today, you and my elder brother are here, I want to settle all the dowry and return it to my own hands."
Hearing this, Shen Haobai immediately shouted: “We should have done this a long time ago!”
"Over the past year, every time I heard those people outside say that my sister is stupid and rich, and that she emptied her dowry to support the Ji family, I was so angry that my liver hurt. Today, my father and I are here, and we must support my sister and get the dowry back!"
Shen Potian echoed, “Yuan’er, your eldest brother’s meaning is also Daddy’s. As long as you are ruthless enough, the Shen family will support you in whatever you want to do!”
"Okay." Chen Ningyuan chuckled: "Then Dad and Big Brother, we will act according to the situation later. We must take the dowry back after the funeral today!"
"good!"
Shen Haobai echoed.
When he thought about getting back the dowry for Shen Ningyuan, he was so excited that he swung the whip in his hand even harder!
