Chapter 271: Bargaining
Seeing her like this, Chen's heart skipped a beat, and she remembered that she had been deceived by Shen Ningyuan and handed over all the money of the Ji family, but in the end she was tricked and the title of the Ji family fell into the hands of Ji Yunnuo.
Thinking of this, Chen felt a little scared and asked cautiously: “Chen Ningyuan, are you going to play some tricks again?”
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan did not respond.
But the coldness in his eyes flashed by so quickly that people couldn't catch it.
Seeing this, Chen asked hesitantly: "Chen Ningyuan, I'm asking you a question, but you don't say a word, what's your intention?"
Seeing Chen being so cautious, Ji Yunchuan said coldly, "Mom, why are you talking so much nonsense to her? What other tricks can she play?"
After hearing Ji Yunchuan's words, Chen opened her mouth, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
She really wanted to tell Ji Yunchuan that if she didn’t ask clearly, Shen Ningyuan would really play tricks.
Compared to Chen's panic, Shen Ningyuan just smiled coldly.
But soon, he returned to his calm and composed look.
But for some reason, the calmer Shen Ningyuan was, the more obvious Ji Yunchuan's uneasiness became.
Before he could think about it, he heard Shen Ningyuan speak calmly: "Madam Ji, this is what you said, are you really willing to agree to any conditions?"
As she said that, Shen Ningyuan looked at Ji Yunchuan, “I wonder if my husband means the same thing?”
When saying this, Shen Ningyuan's expression remained calm, and her tone seemed to be smiling but not laughing.
Ji Yunchuan opened his mouth, but didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and smiled softly, then turned to look at Chen.
"Madam Ji, it seems that my husband agrees with you. So...I wonder if Madam Ji will keep her word?"
Shen Ningyuan paused deliberately, and the smile in her eyes when she looked at Chen became more playful.
Seeing her like this, Chen felt hatred growing in her heart and she was so angry that she gritted her teeth again.
In the past, she would have rushed forward and torn Shen Ningyuan's face to pieces!
But at this moment, she was controlled by others, so she had to give in and agree to Shen Ningyuan's conditions.
After a mental struggle, Chen closed her eyes tightly, trying to hide the coldness in her eyes.
He managed to force out a sentence through his teeth: "Have I ever broken my promise? Since I have already promised you, how can I go back on my word?"
Chen emphasized again, "As long as you don't pursue the matter of Cui Mingzhu and Yunchuan anymore, and don't make things difficult for the Ji family because of a dead person, no matter what conditions you put forward, the Ji family will meet them."
Seeing Chen Shi so serious, Shen Ningyuan wanted to play with her.
He raised his eyebrows slightly and pretended to be puzzled, "Mrs. Ji, you need to explain clearly, what is Cui Mingzhu's matter?"
"Are you referring to the affair between Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu?"
"Or does it mean that you won't investigate Ji Yunchuan's murder to silence him?"
Seeing that Chen Ningyuan pretended to be ignorant, Chen's anger surged again.
He immediately asked angrily: "Chen Ningyuan, you ask even though you know the answer, is there any difference between these two things?"
Chen wanted to speak, but now that Shen Ningyuan had such a big handle on Ji Yunchuan, she had to swallow her anger.
Thinking of this, Chen forced a smile and looked at Shen Ningyuan flatteringly, looking like she was trying to persuade him with good words.
"What's the matter with killing or not killing? This is all misunderstanding, Yuan'er, don't believe everything your cousin says."
As she spoke, Chen stretched out her hand, trying to hold Shen Ningyuan's hand.
Seeing her stretch out her hand, Shen Ningyuan was prepared and just slightly turned sideways, letting Chen miss.
Shen Ningyuan snorted coldly, "The person is already dead, and of course you have the final say on right and wrong."
At this time, Chen's hand stopped in mid-air, and she could only smile awkwardly: "Even if Chuan'er couldn't resist the temptation, it was Cui Mingzhu who tempted him first. How can you put all the faults on Chuan'er? What's more, your cousin is not a good person either. Now that she has such a result, how can you know that it is not her retribution."
"Oh? Was it really my cousin who seduced your son first?" Shen Ningyuan asked back.
"Of course, I can't lie to you!" Chen gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you know that Cui Mingzhu--"
Seeing that Chen was still trying to shirk responsibility for Ji Yunchuan, she wanted to put all the blame on Cui Mingzhu.
Shen Ningyuan became even more impatient and interrupted her directly: "Madam Ji, I have already investigated the matter between Ji Yunchuan and Cui Mingzhu. Do you think it's fun to throw dirty water on a dead person here?"
"What do you mean?" Chen asked in surprise.
Shen Ningyuan raised her head coldly, looked at Ji Yunchuan who had been hiding behind Chen, and sneered: "Even though Cui Mingzhu seduced him first, your son had sex with her many times, and even got pregnant with her. He got pregnant after we got married. Is your son a good person?"
"You, you, you--" Chen pointed at Shen Ningyuan, "Do you know what you are saying? Chuan'er is your husband!"
"Husband?" Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows and looked at Ji Yunchuan, "Although I, Shen Ningyuan, am a woman, I disdain to marry a deserter!"
"You, you, you, what are you talking about?"
Hearing Chen Ningyuan say without any scruples in front of all the servants that Ji Yunchuan was a deserter, Chen felt a fishy and sweet taste in her throat.
She tried her best to suppress her anger and wanted to argue again.
But Shen Ningyuan didn't give her a chance to refute, and snorted coldly: "Isn't Ji Yunchuan a deserter?"
"My son is not a deserter!" Chen retorted loudly.
"It's no use telling me this. You have to tell the people outside and make them believe it before it works."
Hearing this, Chen's face became even more flustered than before.
Because what Shen Ningyuan said was right. Now the people outside are saying that Ji Yunchuan is a deserter.
If we don't find a solution, I'm afraid His Majesty will suspect Ji Yunchuan.
Thinking of this, Chen looked to Ji Yunchuan for help, and both mother and son had helplessness on their faces.
Seeing their eye contact and those little thoughts, Shen Ningyuan understood them better than anyone else.
I'm just thinking about what to do next, and I need their cooperation.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan restrained his tough tone and said slowly: "Ji Yunchuan bullied me, humiliated me, betrayed me, and did many evil things, but I am magnanimous and don't want to bother with a mad dog."
Having said this, she paused for a moment.
He then turned his gaze to Ji Yunchuan standing beside him, admiring his helpless and furious look.
Seeing him gritting his teeth, Shen Ningyuan felt very happy.
I originally thought of using a blunt knife to cut the meat, so that they would feel the pain little by little.
But after going through so many things, Shen Ningyuan deeply realized that delay would lead to changes.
She must resolve the Ji family's affairs as soon as possible!
After thinking for a moment, Shen Ningyuan concealed the darkness in his eyes, stretched out his right hand and made a "two" gesture.
He said in a cold tone: "If you want me to stop pursuing the matter, that's fine, but you must agree to two conditions."
