Chapter 16: Fight or not? Beat or not?
After an exclamation, Ji Yunchuan fell into deep doubt.
He couldn't figure out what kind of accident had happened.
It actually brought Shen Ningyuan, who drank the poisoned wine, back to life!
But in fact, Shen Ningyuan is still alive.
While Ji Yunchuan frowned and thought, Cui Mingzhu continued, “Not only did Shen Ningyuan survive, but the Shen family originally went to the Ji family to attend your funeral, but they brought Shen Ningyuan back.”
"What?"
Ji Yunchuan's expression changed again.
He immediately said viciously: "Even if Shen Ningyuan is not dead, she will still be vigil for me. How can the Shen family take her away so easily?"
After he finished speaking, Ji Yunchuan suddenly felt that what he said was not right.
What does it mean that Shen Ningyuan still has to keep vigil for him?
This sounds so unlucky!
Ji Yunchuan made a "Pooh" sound and looked at Cui Mingzhu anxiously.
She asked again and again: "Tell me quickly, how did the Shen family take Shen Ningyuan away? She is the daughter-in-law of the Ji family. How can the Shen family take her away just like that? What are your parents doing? Didn't they stop them?"
Hearing his matter-of-fact tone.
Shen Ningyuan was hiding in the dark and watching all this.
He clenched his fists tightly, and the hatred in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.
Ji Yunchuan!
I am marrying you!
It wasn’t sold to the Ji family!
My parents, why can't you take me home?
Seeing Ji Yunchuan so anxious, Cui Mingzhu told him about the Ji family's current situation.
"Brother Yunchuan, the plan has failed."
"Not only did the Crane's Beak Red fail to poison Shen Ningyuan, but she also found out that Huan'er was the one who poisoned her. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, Shen Ningyuan is forcing Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji to send your sister to the government and put her in a pig cage!"
"Impossible!" Ji Yunchuan gritted his teeth and said, "We can't send Huan'er to the government. Have my parents agreed?"
Cui Mingzhu shook her head, "Of course Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji would not agree, but the Shen family took advantage of their power and insisted on sending Huan'er to the temple to become a nun, and it was Shen Ningyuan who came up with the idea!"
"What? Send Huan'er to the temple to become a nun?" Ji Yunchuan was so shocked that he almost couldn't stand still, and he cursed directly: "Chen Ningyuan, this bitch, she has such a vicious heart!"
After cursing, Ji Yunchuan looked at Cui Mingzhu and asked through gritted teeth: "Has Huan'er been sent away? No, I will send someone to bring her back now!"
As he said that, Ji Yunchuan was about to walk out of the yard.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ningyuan immediately retracted his head.
"Brother Yunchuan, don't go out!"
Cui Mingzhu grabbed him and whispered to comfort him, "Brother Yunchuan, don't worry. Huan'er hasn't been sent away yet. Uncle Ji bought some time and waited until the seventh day after Brother Yunchuan's death, which was the day of the funeral, to let Huan'er see you off for the last time before sending Huan'er away. Huan'er is still staying in the Ji family."
After saying this, Cui Mingzhu looked up and noticed that Ji Yunchuan's face was as dark as ink.
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he quickly corrected himself and said, "Pooh, pooh, pooh, it's seven days later. Send Huan'er to Yunchan Temple seven days later."
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan's expression eased a little.
Seeing that Ji Yunchuan didn't come out, Shen Ningyuan poked his head out again.
During the spying, Shen Ningyuan's entire mind was in the yard.
No one noticed that there was a high wall under the courtyard.
Two sneaky figures quickly hid behind the thick trunk of the albizzia tree.
In the yard, Ji Yunchuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
He raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Seven days... Then there is still time, as long as Shen Ningyuan is dealt with, our plan will proceed as usual!"
As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan made a gesture of wiping his neck, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, the hatred in Shen Ningyuan's eyes became even stronger.
She glared at Ji Yunchuan fiercely, wishing she could jump down right then and there and tear the ugly faces of the couple apart.
Can……
She also knew that now was not the time!
Shen Ningyuan clenched her fists tightly, forcibly suppressing the hatred in her heart.
Perhaps it was because Shen Ningyuan’s hatred was too strong, Cui Mingzhu inexplicably felt a chill on her back.
She turned around abruptly and suddenly looked at the Albizia Julibrissin tree where Shen Ningyuan was hiding!
Catching the slightest movement of Cui Mingzhu, Shen Ningyuan had already retracted her head before she turned back.
When Cui Mingzhu looked carefully, there was nothing there.
The wind blew gently, and the branches and leaves of the Albizia Julibrissin tree swayed. There was no Tibetan inside at all.
Seeing this, Cui Mingzhu frowned slightly and looked away uneasily.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her like this, Ji Yunchuan hurriedly asked in a low voice, his tone becoming more cautious.
Cui Mingzhu raised her hand slightly, pointed at the tree, and said hesitantly, "Brother Yunchuan, I feel like there is someone there."
"Anyone?"
Ji Yunchuan was suspicious and his face darkened.
He put his finger to his lips and made a "shut up" gesture.
Then, the two of them tiptoed towards the albizzia tree.
Under Cui Mingzhu's nervous gaze, Ji Yunchuan climbed up the courtyard wall next to the albizzia tree and looked around.
There was no one in sight.
Ji Yunchuan couldn't help but frown and asked, "Zhu'er, did you see it wrong? There is no one here."
Cui Mingzhu urged anxiously: "Brother Yunchuan, please take another good look. I still feel something is wrong."
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan glanced around again.
Still nothing.
This place is very remote and there is almost no population.
He searched for a long time before he found this suitable hiding place.
It is remote, yet not far from the general's mansion, making it very convenient for him to move around.
After making sure the surroundings were safe, Ji Yunchuan jumped down from the courtyard wall.
He comforted Cui Mingzhu and said, "Don't worry, there is no one here, it's safe."
Ji Yunchuan is very confident.
After all, he had lived here for some time, and went out to do business from time to time, and had never been discovered.
Ji Yunchuan confirmed again and again that this place was safe.
Cui Mingzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
After the uneasiness in her heart just now dissipated, Cui Mingzhu slowly raised her head and covered her abdomen.
She said with a trembling voice, "Brother Yunchuan, my belly is getting bigger and bigger. I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it anymore in a few days."
“As soon as Shen Ningyuan came back today, she noticed my belly and said that I looked like I was three months pregnant… I wonder if she discovered something?”
As she spoke, Cui Mingzhu looked at Ji Yunchuan in panic.
"Brother Yunchuan, you have to think of a solution. I'm so scared that the Shen family will find out that I'm pregnant."
After hearing Cui Mingzhu's words, Ji Yunchuan patted her on the back and soothed her softly, "Don't worry, Shen Ningyuan won't find out anything. You stay at the Shen family first and help me deliver money and information. If I can't hide it anymore, I'll find a way to bring you back to the Ji family and let your parents take care of you!"
"Really?"
Cui Mingzhu's eyes turned red as she asked softly.
Ji Yunchuan nodded, "Of course, when has Brother Yunchuan ever lied to you?"
As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan held Cui Mingzhu's shoulders and said firmly, "When I solve the Shen family and get the Shen family's military token, I will use Shen Ningyuan's dowry to marry you in style and make up for the grievances you have suffered these days, okay?"
"Okay, I believe you, Brother Yunchuan."
Cui Mingzhu said this, leaning her face against Ji Yunchuan's chest.
She muttered in a muffled voice: "As long as I can help Brother Yunchuan, no matter what grievances I suffer, Zhu'er is willing to bear them."
Hearing this, Ji Yunchuan hugged Cui Mingzhu tightly and said with emotion: "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for? Zhu'er, it's great to have you by my side!"
The two embraced each other in the yard, expressing their deep love to each other.
But I never imagined that it was under the Albizia Julibrissin tree outside the yard, in the overgrown thorn bushes.
Shen Ningyuan was curled up under the thorn bushes, staring at two pairs of eyes.
Inside the courtyard wall, the three of them could hear clearly the conversation between Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu.
Shen Haoyue took a deep breath and looked at Shen Haobai who was gritting his teeth in anger.
Using lip language, he asked silently: "Do you want to beat me or not? Do you want to beat me or not?"
Shen Haobai gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words with his lips: "Hit! Beat!"
