Chapter 201: Mother-in-law's Defense Breaks
Cui Jin's question stumped Shen Ningyuan.
Looking at her mother's serious eyes, Shen Ningyuan even suspected in her heart that she was attracted to that handsome young man outside and was looking for an opportunity to divorce her father at any time?
Seeing that Shen Ningyuan didn't speak, Cui Jin suddenly became anxious.
She urged again: "Yuan'er, please speak up. If your mother separates from your father, who will you live with?"
"Mom, you and Dad are not at the point of separation."
Shen Ningyuan replied faintly.
"Your father is doing something with someone else, and I shouldn't separate from him?" Cui Jin snorted coldly.
Seeing that Cui Jin was becoming more and more agitated, Lao Guai's eyes looked more and more wrong when he looked at the two of them.
Chen Ningyuan had no choice but to explain: "Mom, that fake guy was afraid of being exposed, so he has been hiding from Dad all this time. When Dad talked about this today, he told me in confusion that he hadn't seen you for more than a month."
"What? In other words, your father still doesn't know I'm missing?"
Cui Jin's tone was even more unpleasant than before.
Shen Ningyuan didn't dare to lie, so she just nodded, "Yes."
Cui Jin was silent for a moment and finally accepted his fate.
"Well, I knew that this old man, who didn't understand romance, only cared about his soldiers and had no place for me at all."
Cui Jin became more and more depressed as he spoke, and simply waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, I'll just stay here. There's no place for me in that house anymore."
"Mom, stop making trouble." Shen Ningyuan quickly persuaded: "In two days, it will be the Queen Mother's vegetarian banquet. Then mom can exchange with that fake person. Mom, don't let anything happen to you at this time."
"Okay, for your sake, I won't confront your father for now." Cui Jin gritted his teeth, "I'll deal with this old man when I get back!"
Seeing that Cui Jin had gotten used to life in Ningle Tower, Shen Ningyuan felt relieved.
When I returned to the Ji family and just returned to the yard, Chen came over after hearing the noise.
As soon as he entered the room, he asked anxiously, "Yuan'er, has your father entered the palace?"
Chen Ningyuan turned around and asked, "Madam Ji, the way you address my father has changed so quickly. Before, you called him father-in-law, and it was so affectionate. Now that the matter is settled, you keep calling him 'your father'. What's going on? Are you going to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
Chen's face froze, and she quickly explained, "Of course not. How could I cross a river and then destroy the bridge?"
"You have crossed the river and destroyed the bridge many times, haven't you? Do you want me to list them one by one for you?"
Shen Ningyuan continued to ask.
The question left Chen speechless. She smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject.
"Yuan'er, mother just came to ask how things are going, there is no other intention."
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and replied: "Don't worry, Madam Ji, I always keep my word. Since I have received the money, there is no reason for me not to do the job."
Chen heaved a sigh of relief, "In this case, I'm relieved."
As she spoke, Chen suddenly thought of something and continued to ask, "By the way, Yuan'er, did you take the 500,000 taels that your mother gave you back to your mother's home?"
The servant came and said that when Chen Ningyuan left, she took the box containing the money with her.
Most likely, he took the money back to the Shen family.
"Yes, I was afraid it would get lost in the mansion, so I took it back to my parents' home."
Chen frowned and scolded, "Yuan'er, I'm not saying this as your mother-in-law. You are still the daughter-in-law of the Marquis's Mansion. How can you send everything to your parents' home?"
Chen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and sneered, "If you really want to dig deeper, the money was given by my mother as a dowry. Taking it back to my mother's house is at most returning the property to its original owner."
"Mrs. Ji, why do you always think about other people's dowries?"
Shen Ningyuan said, taking a step closer, her tone even colder than before, “Don’t you have one yourself?”
After saying this, Chen's face changed.
Shen Ningyuan's words clearly touched her pain point.
When she got married, her dowry was pitifully small, and she became the laughing stock of the entire capital.
Unexpectedly, today, Shen Ningyuan would use this matter to laugh at her.
"No matter if I have anything or not, I won't send everything to my mother's house. Besides, your mother is so rich, does she need the five hundred thousand taels?"
"My mother is not bad, but my sister-in-law is!" Shen Ningyuan replied with a smile.
Chen immediately felt something was wrong, "What do you mean?"
"Mrs. Ji, you may not know that my sister-in-law is about to give birth. I gave the 500,000 taels to my sister-in-law as a gift for my future nephew."
"W-what?"
Chen's expression suddenly turned ugly. "Five hundred thousand taels, that's not a small amount. How can you just give it to me as I said?"
Shen Ningyuan's expression turned cold, "My money, I can give it to whoever I want, you have no right to interfere!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Chen pointed at Chen Ningyuan and screamed, "Do you know how much effort I put in to get those five hundred thousand taels? I emptied the entire Ji family, I begged and pleaded, and finally got these five hundred thousand taels. You just gave it to me when you said so. Have you ever considered my feelings?"
"puff--"
As soon as Chen finished speaking, Shen Ningyuan couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
"You, you, you, what are you laughing at?"
Shen Ningyuan's smile was so dazzling that it made Chen unable to speak clearly.
