Chapter 183: Throwing Dirty Water
Ji Yunnuo appeared without warning, shocking everyone present, and many of them frowned subconsciously.
Some people even had a sudden blank in their brains, and for a moment they couldn't remember who Ji Yunnuo was.
It was not until someone around him reminded him that he suddenly realized that in addition to the eldest son Ji Yunchuan, the Ji family also had a illegitimate son like Ji Yunnuo.
With the appearance of Ji Yunnuo, Chen's face instantly turned gloomy.
When Ji Yunnuo strode into the hall, before he could even greet her, Chen asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"
The voice was chilling.
It can be seen that Ji Yunnuo's appearance was not what she expected.
Ji Yunnuo paused, not even bothering to salute, and said respectfully: "In reply to mother's words, I heard that grandma was back, so I immediately rushed over to visit her to show my filial piety, there is nothing else."
"Really just to visit your grandmother?"
Chen didn't believe it.
In her opinion, now that Ji Yunchuan is dead, Ji Yunnuo will definitely have to plan for his own future.
The reason he came to Old Madam Ji to make his presence felt was for the title of Marquis.
Realizing this, Chen's face became even gloomier.
Without waiting for Ji Yunnuo to speak, Chen said coldly: "If you just come to visit your grandmother, of course you can."
"But if it's for other reasons, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!"
Chen narrowed his eyes and emphasized again.
After hearing this, Ji Yunnuo did not show much reaction.
I smiled and asked back, "Mother, what else do you think I can think of besides visiting my grandmother?"
"Of course—"
Chen opened her mouth but suddenly realized something and immediately shut her mouth.
"Since you are here to see your grandmother, you can leave after just one look." Chen looked around, "With so many elders here, it is not appropriate for you, a bastard, to stay here for too long."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions on everyone's faces became somewhat amused.
With a strange look, he looked back and forth between Chen and Ji Yunnuo.
Shen Ningyuan raised her head slightly and looked at Ji Yunnuo with raised eyebrows.
She wanted to see how Ji Yunnuo would respond to Chen's blatant provocation.
Then, Ji Yunnuo replied calmly: "Mother, what you mean by this is that a bastard doesn't even have the qualifications to honor his elders?"
"you……"
Chen was stunned.
I was speechless after hearing this.
Since ancient times, filial piety has been more important than anything else.
Since Ji Yunnuo said this, no matter how she refutes, she will be caught.
Chen gritted her teeth secretly and forced a smile.
"Good boy, your grandmother will be very happy with your filial piety."
Then Chen turned to the old lady, "Right, mother?"
Hearing this, Madam Ji's expression paused slightly, then her face was full of kindness and she waved towards Ji Yunnuo.
"Grandson, come to grandma and let her take a good look at you."
Ji Yunnuo walked straight towards Old Madam Ji without any hesitation.
When passing by Shen Ningyuan, Ji Yunnuo blinked slightly without leaving a trace, as if hinting at something.
Shen Ningyuan understood what Ji Yunnuo meant immediately.
When Ji Yunnuo came up to her, Madam Ji gently stroked Ji Yunnuo's forehead and asked lovingly, "Grandson, how old are you now?"
Ji Yunnuo paused for a moment, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
But he still replied truthfully: "Grandma, my grandson is now twenty years old."
Upon hearing this, Madam Ji was stunned for a moment.
Looking at Ji Yunnuo in surprise, he smiled awkwardly and said, "Oh, before I knew it, you are already twenty years old. Are you married?"
Ji Yunnuo shook his head and said calmly, "Never married."
"You're still not married at this age, but you haven't met a girl you like?"
"Marriage is a matter of the father's will and the matchmaker's words. My parents haven't arranged it yet, so how can a grandson dare to make his own decision?"
"It's okay. When you meet a girl you like in the future, just tell grandma and she will definitely help you arrange it."
"Okay, grandson thanks grandma!"
This seemingly cordial, but actually nonsensical conversation sounded very funny to Shen Ningyuan.
She had been puzzled by the hypocritical and affected behavior of the Ji family before.
Now it seems that it is true that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beams are crooked.
This Ji family is hypocritical from top to bottom.
At this moment, Ji Yunnuo suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Grandma, I saw you guys were discussing so intensely just now, what was it about?"
Madam Ji didn't even think about it and blurted out, "Your sister-in-law has locked up your cousin, saying that she behaved improperly and ruined the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion."
"Oh? Is this true?" Ji Yunnuo pretended to be surprised.
Madam Ji nodded heavily and asked, "You usually live in the mansion. Have you ever heard about this? Do you know what outrageous thing your cousin did?"
Ji Yunnuo shook his head and said, "I have been staying in the front yard and know very little about what happened in the backyard. I really don't know what outrageous things my cousin did."
Hearing this, Madam Ji’s eyes were like blades, and she glanced at Shen Ningyuan with ill intentions.
The look in her eyes was obvious. She thought she had won over one more person to stand against Shen Ningyuan.
Seeing this, Chen also struck while the iron was hot and took the lead in attacking.
The tone was sharp, and the spearhead was pointed directly at Chen Ningyuan, "Chen Ningyuan, you also heard it. No one in the mansion saw Mo'er do anything out of line. In my opinion, all of this was directed and acted by you, deliberately throwing dirty water on Mo'er."
As she spoke, Chen emphasized her tone and warned in a cold voice: "I advise you to be sensible and release Mo'er quickly."
"Just because no one saw it, does that prove that it didn't happen?" Shen Ningyuan asked back with a cold expression, neither humble nor arrogant.
When Chen heard this, he became even angrier.
He stood up with a bang, pointed his finger at Chen Ningyuan's nose, and shouted, "Chen Ningyuan, now there is no evidence, I won't bother with you about your private detention of Mo'er. But I'll say it again,
"Oh? I want to hear how Mrs. Ji is being rude."
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, looking directly at Chen with a smile, her eyes full of provocation.
Chen was furious, her voice trembling with anger, "Chen Ningyuan, are you really going to be so ungrateful and determined to lock up Mo'er?"
Shen Ningyuan did not respond, but just shrugged casually.
His eyes were like a sharp knife, piercing Chen's heart and almost making her lose her composure in public.
"Chen Ningyuan, you——"
Chen was filled with rage, and just as the words were about to come out of her throat, she was suddenly interrupted by Ji Yunnuo.
Ji Yunnuo seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said calmly: "By the way, when I just entered the door, a man who looked like a scholar stopped me in a hurry and said he wanted to see Miss Chen in the mansion."
Ji Yunnuo said, looking around meaningfully, and finally stopped at Chen, "I wonder if the person he is looking for is Cousin Mo'er?"
