Chapter 153: She is not Cui Mingzhu
"Yes, cousin, what did I do to make you hate me so much?"
Cui Mingzhu looked at Shen Ningyuan and asked provocatively.
Looking at her lips opening and closing, Shen Ningyuan suddenly realized something.
wrong.
Is the person in front of me really Cui Mingzhu?
When Cui Mingzhu was in the Marquis' Mansion, she cut off her tongue. How could she still speak?
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan suddenly reached out and grabbed Cui Mingzhu's chin, forcing her to open her mouth wide.
When Cui Jin saw this scene, she was so shocked that she grabbed Shen Ningyuan's hand, "Yuan'er, what are you going to do?"
"Mom, don't worry about it for now."
Shen Ningyuan didn’t explain, and looked at Cui Mingzhu’s tongue carefully.
There is no sign of the tongue being cut off, this person is not Cui Mingzhu!
Shen Ningyuan frowned and slowly withdrew her hand.
"aunt……"
Cui Mingzhu touched her lips and snuggled into Cui Jin's arms.
She said pitifully, "What's wrong with my cousin? Why did you treat me like this?"
"Zhu'er, it's okay. You and Yuan'er had a misunderstanding. Everything will be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved." Cui Jin comforted Cui Mingzhu.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ningyuan inexplicably felt that something was wrong.
"Mom, you weren't like this before." Shen Ningyuan asked hesitantly.
Cui Jin's face paused, and she looked at Chen Ningyuan in confusion, "Yuan'er, isn't mother always like this?"
Chen Ningyuan stared at Cui Jin and said word by word: "Mother, even if she felt guilty towards Cui Mingzhu before, she would never be so unscrupulous in favor of her like she is now."
Shen Ningyuan kept thinking in her mind.
When did things start to go wrong?
It seemed that since her engagement with Ji Yunchuan, something was becoming increasingly abnormal with my mother.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Jin and Cui Mingzhu with a little more coldness than before.
Noticing Shen Ningyuan's gaze, Cui Jin's face became even stiffer than before, and he turned his head to avoid Shen Ningyuan's gaze.
She explained weakly, "Yuan'er, since you got married a year ago, I haven't heard from you. It was your cousin who was with me all the time, so I unconsciously favored your cousin."
"Really, is it just because of this?" Shen Ningyuan continued to ask.
Cui Jin didn’t know how to explain it, so she could only bite the bullet and forcefully change the subject.
"Okay, Yuan'er, I know you care about me, but your cousin has suffered so much and finally returned home. Don't keep pursuing these things. Go back to the Ji family first and let your cousin have a good rest for a few days!"
Cui Jin couldn't help but emphasize the last few words.
Shen Ningyuan's expression changed, and her tone became a little colder, "Mom, are you chasing me away?"
Cui Jin's face froze again, and she realized that she was too nervous and actually said harsh words to Shen Ningyuan.
She quickly stood up and apologized to Shen Ningyuan: “Yuan’er, mother was too worried about your cousin and accidentally said something harsh to you, please don’t mind it, okay?”
Looking at the smile on Cui Jin's face, Shen Ningyuan suppressed the doubts in his heart.
She said a few perfunctorily, "You are my mother, why would I care about these little things? Well, since my cousin is not feeling well, I will go back first. I will come to visit my cousin again after she has rested well."
"Okay, I'll ask your brother to arrange a vehicle right away!"
Hearing that Shen Ningyuan was leaving, Cui Jin's tone was actually a little anxious.
Shen Ningyuan saw all her reactions.
He immediately shook his head and said, "No, I can go back by myself. My eldest brother is busy with his work, so I won't bother him."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cui Jin's response, Shen Ningyuan turned around and left without a trace.
Cui Jin stood by the bed, looking at Shen Ningyuan's leaving back, with a very unnatural expression on her face.
After Shen Ningyuan walked away, Cui Mingzhu, who had just been extremely weak, suddenly stood up from the bed and stood side by side with Cui Jin.
In a cold tone, he asked, “Sister, did Shen Ningyuan find out something?”
Cui Jin shook her head. "No, she has never been back to the Shen family since she got married. Even if her mother has changed a little, it is normal. She will not suspect us."
Cui Mingzhu frowned and fumbled with her lips, “Also, why did she pry my mouth open just now? Shen Ningyuan is not stupid, she will not observe these for no reason.”
Cui Jin frowned, "This is indeed a problem."
Then he looked at Cui Mingzhu and asked, "When you threw the body away, was there anything strange about Cui Mingzhu's mouth?"
Cui Mingzhu shook her head. "There was no inspection. The master was sure that Cui Mingzhu had passed away, so he had her body thrown into a mass grave."
Cui Jin frowned even more tightly, puzzled: "Then what is the reason that made Shen Ningyuan suddenly check your mouth?"
"No matter what, we must tell the master about this. If our identities are exposed by the Shen family, the master will not let us go!"
"Okay, I'll go out of the house in the next few days and report this matter to the master!"
"Um."
The two looked at each other and saw the same coldness in each other's eyes.
On the other side, Shen Ningyuan lowered her head and thought on the way out of the house.
"Miss, we just got home, why is Madam in such a hurry to send you back to the Ji family?" Lan Yin was puzzled.
"You also feel something is wrong, right?" Shen Ningyuan asked.
Lan Yin nodded, "Yes, the Madam's attitude towards Miss was not like this a few days ago."
"right."
As he said this, Shen Ningyuan's heart sank.
Even Lan Yin noticed it.
Then her guess was right.
There's something wrong with both mother and Cui Mingzhu!
Just as Shen Ningyuan was thinking, Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue suddenly blocked her way.
Shen Haobai asked doubtfully: "Sister, you just got home, why are you leaving now?"
Shen Haoyue glanced around and deliberately lowered his voice, “We have hidden the things, and we will take them out when my sister needs them.”
"No matter what, the things must be hidden well." Shen Ningyuan instructed seriously.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll leave it to you, brother!"
Shen Ningyuan looked at Shen Haobai, “Brother, in order to let Cui Mingzhu rest in peace, mother ordered me to leave.”
"What?"
Shen Haobai was startled at first, then immediately shook his head.
"Impossible! I have loved you since you were little. How could I possibly send you back to the Ji family just for Cui Mingzhu? I wish you could stay at home for a few more days!"
The more Shen Haobai spoke, the more he felt something was wrong, so he turned around and headed towards Mingzhu Pavilion.
Shen Ningyuan quickly stopped him, “Brother, don’t go, tell me first, there are more important things!”
Shen Haobai stopped, frowned and asked, "Is there anything else important?"
"There are too many people in the mansion to talk about mother and Cui Mingzhu. Let's talk about it somewhere else!"
Shen Ningyuan glanced around, his expression even more serious than before.
Seeing this, Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue looked at each other and realized the seriousness of the matter.
He immediately took Shen Ningyuan to another empty yard.
