Chapter 18: Beat up the scumbag and the white lotus together
Cui Mingzhu's eyes went dark.
Before he could react, he was trapped in a claustrophobic and narrow space.
Then someone pressed down on her through the quilt, almost making it hard for her to breathe. She could only struggle and twist in the narrow space.
Shen Ningyuan rode on Cui Mingzhu and punched and kicked her.
Even through the quilt, Cui Mingzhu felt a piercing pain.
It is not difficult to see that the person who beat her really meant to kill her.
Cui Mingzhu was tied up so tightly that she couldn't even cry out in pain.
Not only her, but Ji Yunchuan on the other side was also beaten dizzy.
I could only groan and howl in the quilt until I could no longer make any sound.
The three siblings, like three primitive wild beasts, vented their anger on Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu.
It was almost dusk and the three men were exhausted from fighting.
Chen Ningyuan was worried that she would go back too late and make her parents worried, so she winked at her two brothers.
The three of them looked at each other and conveyed the same message - retreat!
The next second, three people jumped off the bed at the same time.
Before Ji Yunchuan lifted the quilt, he quickly ran out of the room.
Then he rushed out of the yard and ran towards the general's mansion like a mad dog.
After a cup of tea, the three finally ran to the open space in the backyard of the general's mansion.
The three siblings looked at each other and immediately burst into laughter.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The three of them took off the cloth covering their faces one after another, and beads of sweat appeared on their faces to varying degrees.
Among them, Shen Haobai is the most numerous.
Because he worked the hardest when beating Ji Yunchuan.
Almost every punch hit the flesh.
Amid Ji Yunchuan’s wailing.
Shen Ningyuan seemed to faintly hear the sound of bones breaking.
After recovering from the shock, Shen Haoyue looked at Shen Ningyuan and finally asked, "Yuan'er, what exactly is going on?"
Shen Ningyuan's body stiffened, and he turned his head to look at Shen Haoyue, and said in a deep voice: “Second brother, as you have seen and heard, all this is Ji Yunchuan’s calculation.”
Seeing the two men's faces change drastically, Shen Ningyuan continued: "But I can't reveal too much to the two brothers now. After Ji Yunchuan's funeral, I will explain the whole story clearly."
“Can’t we tell you what Yuan’er meant now?” Shen Haobai asked in a deep voice.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "No."
He then added: "Also, you can't tell our parents what happened today."
Hearing this, Shen Haobai and Shen Haoyue frowned even more tightly.
The two looked at each other and saw the same worry in each other's eyes.
However, they also knew that if Shen Ningyuan didn't want to talk, no one could pry her open.
Thinking of this, the two had to compromise.
Shen Haoyue looked at Shen Ningyuan and said earnestly: "Sister has her own plans, so we won't force you. But in a word, sister, be careful, my brother and I will arrange secret guards to protect you closely."
Shen Ningyuan nodded, "Okay."
Shen Ningyuan felt even more heavy-hearted because of the respect and care for her two brothers.
In her previous life, it was because the Shen family cared about her too much that Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu took advantage of the opportunity.
“Sister, it’s getting late, let’s go in quickly.” Shen Haoyue frowned and said, “I always feel that Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu will have some doubts. After Cui Mingzhu returns to the general’s mansion, she may come to find you first.”
"Uh-huh."
After Shen Ningyuan responded, the three of them entered the general's mansion together.
Shen Haoyue was right. Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu were very suspicious and might really suspect them.
So they had to hurry back and not let Cui Mingzhu become suspicious.
Now is a time of turmoil, and any slight disturbance may affect the subsequent results.
After entering the backyard, the three of them separated and returned to their own yards.
And the fact was exactly as the three had expected.
After returning to the general's mansion with an injury that was not obvious but made her grimace in pain, Cui Mingzhu walked all the way to Shen Ningyuan's yard.
For some reason, after being beaten up by those three unknown men, a thought kept flashing through her mind: The Shen family might have known something!
Even though she was suspicious, she could only look for a breakthrough from Shen Ningyuan.
As she walked along, Cui Mingzhu's attention was focused on this matter.
Even Cui Jin, who passed by, greeted her.
She didn't hear anything and just walked past Cui Jin.
Seeing his niece in a hurry, Cui Jin's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
"You look so hurried, what are you going to do?"
"No, she seemed to be heading towards Yuan'er's yard?"
Cui Jin was suspicious, but didn't think much about it and went straight to the accounting office.
These days, the housekeeper told her more than once that there were serious problems with the accounts in the mansion.
She hurried to check what was wrong with the accounts.
Cui Mingzhu panted all the way and finally reached Shen Ningyuan's yard.
She didn't even knock on the door, she just pushed it open and walked in.
When the maids in the yard saw her, they all asked in confusion, "Miss cousin, what are you doing here?"
"Where is the eldest lady?" Cui Mingzhu asked in a deep voice.
The maid pointed to the house and said, "The young lady is bathing in there!"
"Has she been bathing in the room?" Cui Mingzhu's tone became a little colder.
Hearing this, the maid's face became even more confused.
"Yes, when we came, the eldest lady had been bathing in it, cousin...but what's the problem?"
"I'm going in to chat with my cousin."
After saying that, Cui Mingzhu walked straight into the house.
Halfway through the journey, he was stopped by a maid.
The maid's tone and attitude were respectful, but her words could not be refuted: "Cousin, the eldest lady said that she wanted to bathe quietly by herself and not let anyone come in to disturb her!"
Don't let anyone in to disturb you?
There must be something fishy!
At this time, Cui Mingzhu was even more certain: Shen Ningyuan was not in the yard!
"Get out of the way!" Cui Mingzhu shouted coldly, "You let the young lady bathe alone in the room. If something happens, can you bear the responsibility?"
The maid was frightened and dared not speak any more.
Indeed, Shen Ningyuan had been in there for a long time.
If anything goes wrong, they will definitely be punished.
"snort!"
Seeing the maids hesitating, Cui Mingzhu snorted coldly.
He pushed the maid away with his shoulder and walked up the stairs with a swagger.
Looking at the closed door, Cui Mingzhu's eyes turned cold.
Chen Ningyuan, I must make sure whether you know something!
Thinking of this, Cui Mingzhu's heart sank and she pushed open the door.
When the door was opened, a puff of mist blew in my face.
Along with the sound of the shaking water, Shen Ningyuan's cold voice also came:
"Cousin, what's the matter?"
Hearing Shen Ningyuan's voice, Cui Mingzhu's pupils were shocked.
Subconsciously, he raised his voice and asked, "Cousin, have you been bathing here just now?"
"What else?" Chen Ningyuan asked in a cold tone: "What on earth is the reason that makes my cousin so anxious to confirm whether I have bathed in it!"
"Why? I'm in my own yard. Does my cousin have to decide whether I want to take a bath, when I want to take a bath, and how long I want to take a bath?"
Shen Ningyuan emphasized the tone of the last question.
Cui Mingzhu's face changed slightly, and she smiled awkwardly, "Of course not, I was just worried that my cousin was bathing alone in the room, and no one was watching her. I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I came in to take a look."
"Since my cousin is fine, I won't bother you anymore. I'll come find you after you finish your bath!"
Having said that, Cui Mingzhu was about to leave.
“Wait!”
Cui Mingzhu had half a foot out.
But he was stopped by Shen Ningyuan.
After a pause, Cui Mingzhu looked in the direction of Shen Ningyuan through the hazy curtain.
"Cousin, is there anything else?" Cui Mingzhu asked.
"Of course there is something!"
Behind the curtain, Shen Ningyuan's voice was filled with coldness from the bones.
"Cui Mingzhu, this is my yard, and those people outside are my maids!"
Cui Mingzhu's face darkened, and her hands gripping the door frame tightened, "Cousin, what do you want to say?"
"There is one thing I think you need to understand."
Shen Ningyuan's tone completely turned cold.
"Even if I'm married, even if I haven't been back for a year, the Shen family is still my home! You barged into my yard without my permission and scolded and threatened my maid at will. Isn't that too much!"
