Chapter 125: Indifferent
It’s just that his voice was too low, and Shen Ningyuan couldn’t hear the grievance in his words at all.
The mockery on his face was even more obvious than before: "If you say it's not true, then it's not true. Why should I believe you?"
"Chen Ningyuan, are you stubborn?" Xie Wanzhou asked through gritting his teeth.
"Xie Wanzhou, you are the one who refuses to listen to me!" Shen Ningyuan sneered again: "You keep asking me to believe you, but you don't tell me anything I want to know. How can I believe you?"
"you……"
Xie Wanzhou was left speechless.
In the end, he had to give up and let go of Shen Ningyuan.
"Okay, I'll tell you, there are indeed people who want the Shen family's military power and property."
"Who is it?" Shen Ningyuan asked anxiously.
Xie Wanzhou's voice suddenly turned colder: "A creepy crawly creature from a gutter!"
Shen Ningyuan: "What?"
Seeing Xie Wanzhou didn't say anything, Shen Ningyuan was so angry that she laughed.
He snorted coldly: "From what you said, you still don't want to say it?"
"Xie Wanzhou, I listened to your nonsense for nothing!"
"Forget it, just go away, I don't want to see you again."
Shen Ningyuan waved her hand, urging Xie Wanzhou to leave quickly.
"Then do you believe in me?" Xie Wanzhou asked stubbornly.
"Why should I trust you?"
Although she said so on the surface, Shen Ningyuan obviously believed it in her heart.
"No, you must believe me. I really won't harm you."
At this moment, Xie Wanzhou was as stubborn as a child.
Shen Ningyuan took a deep breath, "Okay, I believe you, can you go now?"
"Then wear this jade pendant. If you need my help in the future, you can bring it to me."
As he spoke, Xie Wanzhou took out the jade pendant again and stuffed it into Shen Ningyuan's hand.
Feeling the warmth coming from his palm, Shen Ningyuan picked up the jade pendant and asked doubtfully: "Xie Wanzhou, is this the only jade pendant?"
"Who said that?" Xie Wanzhou rolled his eyes. "Everyone in the royal family has one. It's a symbol of royal status."
“…”
Shen Ningyuan was speechless.
After all the work, I still have a lot of jade pendants like this.
Doesn’t that mean that she really misunderstood Xie Wanzhou?
The person I saw in the villa that day was not him at all, but someone else?
While thinking, Shen Ningyuan began to look up and down at Xie Wanzhou's waist.
He became even more convinced that he had really wronged Xie Wanzhou.
The masked man seen in the courtyard was obviously thinner than the woman.
Xie Wanzhou has broad shoulders, narrow waist and clear muscle lines.
There was such a huge gap between the two of them, how come she couldn't tell the difference?
Being stared at by Shen Ningyuan, Xie Wanzhou couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He asked faintly, “Chen Ningyuan, why are you staring at me like this?”
"It's okay, just take a look."
Shen Ningyuan waved her hand, looking indifferent.
Xie Wanzhou couldn't help but be shocked.
How come Shen Ningyuan, who was just unfriendly to me, suddenly became like a different person?
What, she succeeded in her self-conquest and no longer doubts him?
Thinking of this, Xie Wanzhou asked tentatively: "Chen Ningyuan, you should believe what I said now, right?"
"I believe it!" Shen Ningyuan nodded quickly, and then changed the subject: "But Xie Wanzhou, you should go back."
"good."
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan believed in him, Xie Wanzhou was inexplicably excited and agreed readily.
Without waiting for Shen Ningyuan's response, he gently opened the door and walked out of Shen Ningyuan's yard.
Through the crack in the door, I looked at Xie Wanzhou's back.
Shen Ningyuan felt inexplicably heavy in his heart. What on earth did this guy want to do?
Did I come here late at night just to prove my innocence to her?
"Miss."
Suddenly, Yi Ge's voice sounded outside the door.
Shen Ningyuan's face sank, and he asked in a cold voice: "You were here just now?"
"I have to protect the young lady's safety, of course I'm here." Yi Ge remained neither humble nor arrogant.
"Since you were protecting me, why didn't you take action when Xie Wanzhou entered my room? Why did you show up only after he left?"
Shen Ningyuan's voice was even colder than before.
Yi Ge remained calm and replied calmly, "Because he has no ill will towards the young lady and will not hurt her, so I did not take action."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan looked suspicious and asked, "Can you feel that he has no ill will towards me?"
Yi Ge answered truthfully: "I crawled out of a pile of dead bodies, and I am very sensitive to the evil thoughts of human nature."
Shen Ningyuan was shocked, “I didn’t expect you to have such ability?”
Yi Ge nodded, his tone still calm, "If I wasn't sharp enough, the young master wouldn't have arranged me to be with the young lady."
Then, Yi Ge added: "In this world, apart from the eldest young master's wife, the young lady and the mistress are what the eldest young master cares about the most. Now that the young lady is alone in a den of wolves, the eldest young master will definitely arrange for the right people to protect her."
"And that person is this servant."
When saying the last sentence, Yi Ge's tone actually had a hint of confidence.
"This is the first time you've spoken with emotion during the days you've been by my side." Shen Ningyuan chuckled: "It seems that you are very confident in your own strength."
"certainly."
Yi Ge nodded and returned to her indifferent self.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan didn't ask any more questions and said, "Okay, then I'll rest first, and you should rest early too."
"Yes, miss."
Yi Ge responded and retreated calmly.
Shen Ningyuan returned to the room, and thinking of what Xie Wanzhou had just said, her brows darkened even more.
"If the person we saw in the courtyard wasn't Xie Wanzhou, then who could it be?" Shen Ningyuan whispered.
"Forget it. If the assassination attempt fails, the mastermind will definitely find another chance to attack. I will ask my eldest brother to pay attention and I will definitely find the mastermind!"
Shen Ningyuan didn't think any more, turned off the lights and went to bed.

On the other side, as Xie Wanzhou walked out of the Marquis' Mansion, he was blocked by a red figure.
Luo Ziyuan asked quietly, "Xie Wanzhou, you are really capable. You sneaked into the young widow's room late at night. What's going on? Do you want to be a flower thief?"
Xie Wanzhou's brows sank, "Why are you here?"
"You can go to the young widow's room, why can't I be here?" Luo Ziyuan said jokingly.
"what ever."
Xie Wanzhou threw down two words and walked past Luo Ziyuan towards the palace.
Seeing the direction he left, Luo Ziyuan's face changed instantly and he hurriedly chased after him.
While chasing him, he shouted, "Xie Wanzhou, Xie Yumin has already returned to the capital. Aren't you afraid of running into him if you return to the palace now?"
"We have to face it sooner or later. There's nothing wrong with meeting him now." Xie Wanzhou said in a flat tone.
"What, you really want to meet him?"
Luo Ziyuan suddenly became anxious, grabbed Xie Wanzhou's hand, and said forcefully: "No, you can't meet now!"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything." Xie Wanzhou said calmly.
Luo Ziyuan was so angry that he laughed and asked, "Xie Wanzhou, do you think I believe it?"
"what ever."
After uttering these two words, Xie Wanzhou once again passed Luo Ziyuan and continued walking towards the direction of the imperial palace.
Luo Ziyuan was completely anxious, and shouted at Xie Wanzhou's back: "Xie Wanzhou, you know why I stopped you, and I also know that you will definitely do this!"
"But if you kill him, you will die too!"
