Chapter 204: Questioning, Xie Wanzhou breaks down
Could it be that the Shen family deliberately retained the title of the Ji family just to make Shen Ningyuan's life easier in the future?
Doesn't that mean that Shen Ningyuan will stay in the Ji family forever?
When he thought of this possibility, Xie Wanzhou's face became even colder than before.
Seeing his expression change, Luo Ziyuan quickly asked, "What's wrong with you? You were fine just now, why did you suddenly change your expression?"
“I’m wondering what Shen Ningyuan wants to do.”
Xie Wanzhou asked in a low voice.
"Why do you care about her? Anyway, with the character of the little widow, she will not suffer any loss."
Luo Ziyuan said this and lowered his head to take a bite of the apple.
Xie Wanzhou did not respond, but his brows were even colder than before.
"No, I have to find out what she wants to do!"
After saying that, Xie Wanzhou stood up abruptly and strode towards the Ji family.
Luo Ziyuan looked at his back and couldn't help but sneered twice, "How interesting, he went to look for the little widow again in the middle of the night!"
But when Xie Wanzhou arrived at Xiyuanju, he saw that someone had already got there.
Ji Yunnuo and Shen Ningyuan stood side by side, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, without saying a word.
Xie Wanzhou paused.
Are they... admiring the moon?
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Wanzhou's face darkened.
It's a dark and windy night, a man and a woman are alone, standing side by side facing the moon. How disgraceful!
Xie Wanzhou clenched his fists and was about to rush out to separate the two people opposite him.
The next second, Ji Yunnuo suddenly spoke.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for planning for me."
Xie Wanzhou stopped and looked at the two of them in surprise.
Planning for Ji Yunnuo?
Could it be that Shen Ningyuan asked General Shen to enter the palace in order to transfer the title of the Ji family to Ji Yunnuo, the illegitimate son of the Ji family?
When did the relationship between them become so good?
Xie Wanzhou took a deep breath and continued to hide in the dark, eavesdropping on their conversation.
Then, Shen Ningyuan was heard to take over Ji Yunnuo’s words, “No need to thank me, I have my own thoughts.”
When Xie Wanzhou heard this, his expression became even gloomier than before.
What's on your mind?
Let Ji Yunnuo take over the Marquis' Mansion. Will she remarry Ji Yunnuo?
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Wanzhou immediately felt his heart beating faster.
Has Shen Ningyuan already considered marrying Ji Yunnuo?
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Wanzhou clenched his fists, but still patiently continued to listen.
At this time, Ji Yunnuo was heard asking, "I just don't know when the imperial edict will come down?"
"If I'm right, your Majesty will announce this matter after the Queen Mother's fasting banquet is over."
Hearing this, Xie Wanzhou became even more nervous.
What imperial edict?
Imperial decree granting marriage?
Does Shen Ningyuan not only have to help Ji Yunnuo get the title, but also ask the emperor for permission to marry?
"It's okay. We've already waited for a year. A few days won't make a difference," said Ji Yunnuo.
At this time, Shen Ningyuan suddenly thought of something and continued to ask: "As a concubine of the Marquis's Mansion, you have no one to rely on. Can you hold on to this position?"
"Don't worry about that, sister-in-law. Since I dare to take this position, I will naturally find a way to keep it."
"Okay, now that we've finished talking, you can go back first. It's so late, I should rest."
Shen Ningyuan ordered them to leave.
Ji Yunnuo was stunned, looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise, and asked: "Sister-in-law, is there something you want to do? Are you in such a hurry to get me out?"
"It's okay, I just want to rest." Shen Ningyuan said in a light tone.
Hearing her tone, Xie Wanzhou felt inexplicably relieved.
Seeing this, Ji Yunnuo had no choice but to give up.
"Then... Yunnuo will go back first, sister-in-law should rest early."
After saying that, Ji Yunnuo bowed, turned around and left.
After Ji Yunnuo walked away, Shen Ningyuan immediately retracted his gaze and looked in the direction of Xie Wanzhou.
"Your Highness, come out!"
Xie Wanzhou's body stiffened.
Did Shen Ningyuan discover his existence?
Or was it because they noticed his presence that they sent Ji Yunchuan away?
Before Xie Wanzhou could think any more, Shen Ningyuan had already raised her foot and walked towards him.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan approaching little by little, Xie Wanzhou had no choice but to come out from the dark.
"It's me."
Xie Wanzhou responded in a deep voice.
Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Xie Wanzhou, and said, "I knew it was you."
"You didn't see me, so how can you be so sure it was me?" Xie Wanzhou asked back.
"Who else besides Your Highness would have such a habit of hiding outside my yard in the middle of the night?"
Xie Wanzhou opened his mouth and wanted to retort.
But I found that I couldn't say anything to refute it.
Then, he set his eyes on Shen Ningyuan and asked directly: “Shen Ningyuan, you asked General Shen to enter the palace today just to transfer the title of the Ji family to Ji Yunnuo?”
"Why are you asking this? What does this have to do with you?" Shen Ningyuan asked back.
Xie Wanzhou's expression froze. "I'm just asking casually. If you really don't want to say it, you don't have to answer."
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Ningyuan really closed his mouth without saying a word.
Xie Wanzhou remained in a stalemate for a long time, and when he saw that she really had no intention of talking, he became unable to hold it in any longer.
"No, Chen Ningyuan, are you really not going to tell me?" Xie Wanzhou asked.
Shen Ningyuan shrugged, "That's not what your highness said. You don't have to say it if you don't want to."
"I want to know, but you won't tell me?"
"What does that have to do with me?"
Shen Ningyuan shrugged, still looking indifferent.
Seeing her like this, Xie Wanzhou instantly became anxious.
