Chapter 281: Gentle and Affectionate
Shen Ningyuan seemed to be aware of Guard Zhou's embarrassment and collapse.
Not only did he not show any sympathy or pity, but the corners of his lips curled up and his laughter was crisp and pleasant.
"Guard Zhou, you are loyal and dedicated, and everyone has seen you work hard for the Marquis' Mansion. You will definitely not let me down, right?"
At this point, Shen Ningyuan changed the subject and his expression instantly darkened.
"If I find out that someone is betraying their own people, don't blame me for reporting it to Jingzhao Prefecture. There are always a few places in this world where you can reason with them, mother-in-law, am I right?"
Chen was called out of the blue and she hummed reflexively.
After a few breaths of hesitation, he finally realized the meaning of Shen Ningyuan's words.
The originally well-maintained and wealthy face now became hideous and distorted, looking terrifying!
He glared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely like a demon.
I wish I could drink his blood and eat his flesh.
Shen Ningyuan was not afraid of such a look at all.
On the contrary, the smile on her face became more charming and flamboyant.
"Alright! It's late at night. Butler, send someone to clean up this place. As for the others, just do what you need to do!"
After Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, he turned around and went back into the house in a cool manner.
The door slowly closed, blocking out the extremely complicated gazes.
She did not walk far, but leaned against the door, listening attentively to the noise outside.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the people outside the house came to their senses.
No matter what he thought in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
Everyone did their job and soon dispersed.
Under the housekeeper's arrangement, a servant quickly cleaned up the corpse and bloodstains at the door.
In less than a cup of tea, the outside of the door became completely silent.
Shen Ningyuan sneered, with countless ridicule in his eyes.
It’s true!
It takes evil to deal with evil!
In this world, good people don't live long.
Only the wicked can fight their way out of this cannibalistic mansion!
And she, Shen Ningyuan, will be the evilest among the evil ones.
Protect the people you want to protect.
Ensure their peace, wealth and prosperity throughout their life.
He walked slowly into the inner room, and the smile on his lips froze instantly.
Shen Ningyuan's pupils suddenly shrank.
The good mood I had originally had completely disappeared.
I saw Xie Wanzhou sitting at the table leisurely.
It was as if he was the owner of this room.
The slender and powerful hand was stroking the handle of the big knife that was shining with a cold light.
The candlelight on the table shone on his face, half hidden in the darkness and half in the dim light.
The whole person is like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, or like a terrifying beast that is suppressing its bloodthirstiness but can suddenly attack and eat people at any time.
When Shen Ningyuan saw the frightening aura emanating from him, for some reason, she suddenly felt her throat dry.
With his eyes slightly lowered, his mood was dark and difficult to discern.
Fortunately, these inexplicable emotions come quickly and go away even faster.
In a flash, Shen Ningyuan adjusted her mentality, walked to the table calmly, and sat down opposite him.
He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of herbal tea.
She picked up the teacup with her delicate hands, tilted her head back and took a big gulp.
Finally relieved the dryness in my throat.
Shen Ningyuan played with the teacup in her hand and spoke nonchalantly.
"How come you are here so timely tonight?"
It's a test and I want an answer.
The timing of Xie Wanzhou's appearance was just perfect.
If Shen Ningyuan didn't know him well, it would be hard for her not to doubt the purpose of his appearance here.
Cooperation requires openness and honesty.
If either party deceives others, the cooperation will naturally not be able to continue.
Another reason why she asked so directly was that until now, she had not seen Yi Ge, Lan Yin and others.
Not to mention the secret guards who are protecting in secret.
Where are they now?
Life or death?
There were too many questions lingering in Shen Ningyuan's mind.
And she inexplicably had a hunch that Xie Wanzhou must know something?
Just now, after the noise in the yard completely died down, she searched the entire Xiyuanju almost thoroughly, but did not see those people at all.
This is really abnormal!
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. There must be another hidden story.
Xie Wanzhou slowly raised his eyes and looked steadily at the girl in front of him.
His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if he could see directly into the depths of her soul.
Shen Ningyuan stared at the pressing gaze, her brows slightly furrowed.
I don't understand why he is staring at me so closely.
"But I doubt you because the timing of your appearance is too coincidental..."
There is no need to say the rest, everyone knows it.
Xie Wanzhou suddenly laughed.
He was born with a pair of passionate and romantic eyes.
At this moment, the smile faded, the coldness in the eyes gradually faded, and was replaced by spring.
"Shen Ningyuan."
He called her softly, gently and affectionately.
Deep in his eyes there is an unbreakable affection, as well as a hint of darkness that is difficult to describe.
For some reason, Shen Ningyuan suddenly felt her throat become even more thirsty, just like the dry land that had not received a drop of water for three years, so thirsty that it was about to smoke.
She looked away somewhat unnaturally, avoiding his deep and dark gaze.
She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, her eyes wandering, "You, why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong? The timing of your appearance is indeed a coincidence."
The voice was urgent and hurried.
Shen Ningyuan herself didn't know why she was so anxious.
It was as if I had done something wrong to him.
But this is clearly a reasonable suspicion.
Once this thought came into my mind, it instantly occupied my mind.
The original guilty look disappeared in an instant.
Shen Ningyuan suddenly turned her head to look at Xie Wanzhou, her eyes clear and calm.
"I'm asking you a question. Are you mute? Although you helped me a lot today, but..."
After the emotional outburst just now, Xie Wanzhou has now regained consciousness, but he still feels bitter in his heart.
He thought he had made it so obvious, but it seemed as if the girl hadn't gotten the idea and couldn't see anything he did.
That’s all!
This is what he enjoys, isn't it?
What are you complaining about right now?
Now that you have made a firm choice, proceed step by step.
Whatever you want, you will get it sooner or later, whether it is a person or an object!
Xie Wanzhou suppressed the emotions in his eyes and returned to his usual gentle and jade-like appearance.
A faint smile appeared on his lips, and he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.
"There's blood on your face, wipe it off first!"
There was no mention of the question she had just asked.
Shen Ningyuan couldn't understand at all, what on earth was this guy doing?
His frown deepened.
Just as she was about to open her mouth to scold him, she heard the man's tone that would not brook rejection.
"Wipe the blood stains first. I will tell you everything you want to know. I will tell you everything I know."
