Chapter 226: Ji Yunchuan is coming back
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled even more playfully.
He stared at Chen Mo'er motionlessly and asked directly, "Who said that the title of the Ji family must fall to your uncle?"
“Don’t the Ji family have another son?” Shen Ningyuan added again.
Chen Moer frowned and looked at Shen Ningyuan in confusion, "What do you mean? Cousin is back?"
Thinking of this possibility, Chen Moer panicked instantly.
If Ji Yunchuan came back, wouldn't all their plans go down the drain?
Under Chen Moer's stunned gaze, Shen Ningyuan smiled and shook her head, and said directly: "You don't only have one cousin."
After hearing this, Chen Moer's face turned pale instantly.
With a trembling voice, he asked, “Chen Ningyuan, don’t tell me that the title of Marquis Mansion was given to Ji Yunnuo?”
"How clever! You guessed it right!"
After getting a positive answer, Chen Moer's face became uglier than ever.
“No, no, it shouldn’t be like this!” Chen Moer shook her head, and suddenly glared at Shen Ningyuan angrily, and asked loudly: “Shen Ningyuan, was it you who asked His Majesty to give the title to Ji Yunnuo?”
Shen Ningyuan didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement.
Despite this, Chen Moer still didn't believe it and looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise.
Unwillingly, he asked, “Chen Ningyuan, the title of the Marquis’ Mansion should belong to my cousin. How could you give it to a bastard?”
"What's wrong with a bastard? A bastard is also the blood of the Ji family, isn't he?" Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows even higher, "What's more, I promised your aunt that I would keep the title of the Ji family, and I did it, didn't I?"
"you--"
Seeing Shen Ningyuan so proud, Chen Moer was furious.
He stood up suddenly and stretched out his hand to Shen Ningyuan's neck, "Bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
Shen Ningyuan took a step back and sneered as she watched Chen Moer approach.
Just when Chen Moer's hand was about to grab Chen Ningyuan, Yi Ge suddenly appeared from behind and kicked Chen Moer away.
Chen Moer was kicked to the ground and spit out blood.
But even so, Chen Moer still raised her head and looked at Shen Ningyuan with difficulty, her eyes full of unwillingness.
Gritting his teeth, he questioned, “Chen Ningyuan, you have already married into the Ji family, you are a member of the Ji family, why are you doing this?”
Shen Ningyuan smiled, squatted down and leaned close to Chen Moer's ear, and said word by word: "Before this, I always regarded the Ji family as my own home and everyone here as my family, but how did you treat me? When you were calculating against me, did you ever think that I am the daughter-in-law of this family, and I am also a part of this family?"
Facing Shen Ningyuan's questioning, Chen Moer suddenly thought of something, looked at Shen Ningyuan unwillingly, and asked: "You...when did you know it?"
Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and chuckled, saying word by word: “At your cousin’s funeral, I already knew everything.”
Things have come to this point, so she might as well just come clean.
Chen Moer's face turned pale, and she looked at Shen Ningyuan thoughtfully, "It turns out that you already knew everything from that time."
"No wonder you smashed the Ji family's ancestral tablet that day."
As she spoke, Chen Moer smiled bitterly and said, "I always thought that you were insane because you couldn't accept your cousin's death. It turns out that you did it on purpose from the beginning."
Shen Ningyuan smiled gently and slowly lowered her voice, "It's okay. In a couple of days, your long-missed cousin should be back. Then I will let you out and reunite you and your brother."
Upon hearing this, Chen Moer suddenly came back to her senses and tightly grasped Shen Ningyuan's ankle.
He asked harshly, “Chen Ningyuan, don’t tell me that you did all this just to force your cousin to show up!”
Shen Ningyuan looked down at Chen Moer, although she didn't say anything, her eyes said it all.
At this moment, Chen Moer stared into Shen Ningyuan's eyes and felt a chill on her back.
“Chen Ningyuan, you have already planned everything in just one month. Every step you take is to force my cousin to show up!”
Chen Moer's voice couldn't stop trembling, "You are so scary!"
"Scary?" Shen Ningyuan sneered, "Compared to you who eat people without leaving any bones, what do I have?"
Shen Ningyuan kicked Chen Moer away.
"You continue to stay here for the next few days. I will release you when Ji Yunchuan comes back."
After finishing speaking, Shen Ningyuan turned around and walked out the door.
Chen Moer took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, and ran towards the door that was about to close.
But as soon as he ran to the door, the door of the woodshed had already been closed.
Shen Ningyuan stood outside the door and slowly locked it.
Chen Moer kept shaking her head, “No, Shen Ningyuan, let me out, I can’t stay here!”
"You can go out if you want? Then what's the point of me locking you up here?"
Shen Ningyuan stood at the door, looking at Chen Moer with a sneer, and continued to add: “After all, from the beginning, I locked you up here just to prevent you from being around Chen and disrupting her choice.”
"Chen Moer, you are much smarter than your aunt."
"So I can only be cautious and lock you up here."
After that, Shen Ningyuan ordered Yi Ge, "Before Ji Yunchuan returns home, no one can be allowed to approach this woodshed."
"Miss, I understand."
Yi Ge responded in a deep voice.
"Miss?"
Chen Moer looked at Shen Ningyuan in confusion.
Afterwards, Chen Moer seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help smiling bitterly.
He smiled bitterly and said, “Hehe, Shen Ningyuan, I think I know what you want to do.”
Shen Ningyuan's smile deepened, and she said faintly: "Chen Moer, I'm not wrong, you are really smart."
After praising Chen Moer, Shen Ningyuan changed the subject and said seriously: "So, locking you up is the best decision I have made in the past month."
After finishing speaking, Shen Ningyuan turned and left.
Chen Moer stood weakly behind the door, looking at Shen Ningyuan's leaving back, and she no longer had the intention to struggle.
She knew that Shen Ningyuan would not let her go until Ji Yunchuan came back.
All she could do now was to stay here and pray that Ji Yunchuan would not show up.
Shen Ningyuan left the firewood room and just returned to her room, Lan Yin walked in nervously, leaned close to her ear and said, "Miss, there is news from over there. After Chen woke up, she left the house immediately and seemed to be heading in the direction where Ji Yunchuan was hiding."
After hearing this, Shen Ningyuan was not surprised, and a triumphant smile appeared on her face.
"Lan Yin, your 'son-in-law' will be back soon. I don't know if he will like the gift I prepared for him."
After saying that, the smile on Shen Ningyuan's face became even weirder.
