Chapter 287: Second Brother Visits
There was no need for Shen Ningyuan to give any special instructions. The strong men in the yard exchanged glances quietly and went straight to the door of the woodshed to guard it.
After Shen Ningyuan saw that there was no one he disliked in the courtyard, he looked around.
It was not until this time that I noticed that there were several unrecognizable corpses a few meters away.
I guess this is the thief who broke into the yard last night.
No wonder Chen wanted to escape from here like crazy.
When Shen Ningyuan's eyes fell on the corpses, the other strong men guarding the yard all turned their eyes to their leader.
The chief strode up to her and bowed.
“Miss Shen, these are the people who broke into the courtyard yesterday and tried to take Chen away. They are all assassins trained in secret.”
As the name suggests, if a death soldier fails to complete the task assigned by his master, he will have no choice but to die.
Shen Ningyuan nodded calmly, indicating that she understood.
Didn't ask too many questions.
However, judging from the traces at the scene, it must have been a fierce fight.
Only then were these assassins killed here.
"Thank you for your hard work! Once this matter is over, I will definitely reward you handsomely."
The leader responded in a deep voice, “Miss Shen is too polite. This is our duty. It is not hard work, let alone a generous reward from the lady.”
Shen Ningyuan glanced at him with a smile but didn't say anything.
The leader touched his nose a little awkwardly, but did not dwell on the matter and quickly changed the subject.
“Miss Shen, what are your instructions next?”
Seeing her confused look, the leader added another sentence.
“The master specifically ordered that the subordinates and others in An Ning Marquis’ Mansion fully obey Miss Shen’s arrangements.”
After listening to the explanation, Shen Ningyuan nodded with satisfaction.
I feel quite happy.
Xie Wanzhou is very nice.
I feel very safe in the An Ning Marquis Mansion, protected by a group of people with great martial arts skills.
There is no need to worry about safety at all.
Excellent!
"I don't know what to call you?"
The leader still bowed his body and spoke in a humble tone.
"My name is Jin Ge."
When Shen Ningyuan heard the name, she subconsciously asked back.
"Is there another person called Tiema?"
Jin Ge nodded respectfully.
Seeing his actions, Shen Ningyuan's eyes twitched uncontrollably.
I silently complained in my heart, Xie Wanzhou's name was too casual!
In this world of war and iron cavalry, is it possible that there are people named Horse Hide and Corpse Shroud?
Although he thought so in his heart, Shen Ningyuan did not say anything more.
Thinking that there was still something important that he hadn't asked, Shen Ningyuan cleared his throat, "Has the news from the mansion been released?"
Jin Ge was stunned at first, then asked cautiously.
“Miss Shen, are you talking about the news about Chen’s serious illness?”
Shen Ningyuan hummed.
"Early this morning, we have sent people to infiltrate various teahouses. I believe that everyone in the city must have known about it by now."
Shen Ningyuan got the news she wanted, and the smile on her lips became even wider.
Nodded with satisfaction.
Just as I was about to say something else, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the yard.
I saw Lan Yin walking hurriedly towards the gate of the courtyard and arrived in a flash.
She reported respectfully, "Miss, the second young master is here! I have arranged for him to stay in the flower hall in the courtyard."
When Shen Ningyuan heard that his second brother was coming, he looked a little dazed.
"What is he doing here? Is it because of the Ji family's affairs?"
Even though there were many thoughts in my mind, I suppressed them all one by one.
Didn't say much.
Only after seeing the second brother, I will know why he came here in such a hurry.
Shen Ningyuan shifted his gaze to Jin Ge in front of him and warned.
"I'm going to need your help on Chen's side. Things may not be peaceful in the future."
Jin Ge naturally knew what this meant and responded in a crisp voice.
"Miss Shen, please rest assured that I will take good care of Chen. If there is any mistake, I will bring my head to you."
Shen Ningyuan looked at him deeply.
"That's not necessary. You all need to pay more attention to the safety of the mansion."
Jin Ge naturally agreed readily, without any intention of refusing.
Seeing that everything had been explained almost completely, Shen Ningyuan did not linger for too long.
Turned around and left in a hurry.
Although these people are ruthless in their actions, they are Xie Wanzhou's men and they know their limits.
Know clearly what to do and what not to do.
Chen Ningyuan hurried back to Xiyuanju and saw that her hair was disheveled. Lan Yin hurried forward to help her re-dress.
After everything was packed up, we went to the flower hall.
As soon as I stepped into the hall, I saw my second brother stand up from his chair and walk towards me hurriedly.
Seeing his second brother in such a hurry, Shen Ningyuan raised her eyebrows slightly, with a puzzled look on her face, "Second brother, why are you so anxious?"
Shen Haoyue glanced back and forth over her body several times, and when he saw that there was nothing strange about her, he breathed a sigh of relief with an imperceptible degree of relief.
"You are such a heartless person. I am just worried about you. Otherwise, why would I do this?"
Shen Ningyuan instantly understood his subtext, and a look of joy appeared on her face.
She walked slowly to the table, poured him a cup of tea personally, and handed it to Shen Haoyue.
"Brother, drink some tea to moisten your throat first. If you have anything to say, take your time. There's no rush."
Shen Haoyue looked at her deeply, wondering in his heart, does this girl know the purpose of my coming here?
I thought this in my mind and asked the same question.
Shen Ningyuan nodded generously in response.
"I guessed it was about the Ji family, right?"
Shen Haoyue was even more confused, and looked at her suspiciously, blurting out.
"How do you know that the Ji family has already taken action?"
Shen Ningyuan's expression froze, and then he shook his head sincerely.
No matter how huge the waves in his heart were, his expression remained calm and indifferent.
He didn't reveal any of his feelings.
"I thought someone was going to deal with the Ji family, but it turns out that's not the case!"
Shen Haoyue took the teacup from her hand, raised his head and drank the tea in one gulp.
Then, he told her all the news he knew.
What Shen Haoyue was talking about was news from several days ago.
It seems that my second brother is not well-informed.
After listening to it, Shen Ningyuan concluded in a pretentious manner.
"Ji Yunchuan is so bold that he dares to challenge the power of heaven. He is simply courting death!"
I said these words intentionally to calm Chen Haoyue's heart.
Shen Ningyuan did not tell her second brother about the many things that happened in his mansion.
Why should I let my second brother worry about what’s happening in Marquis An Ning’s mansion?
Shen Haoyue had no idea what her sister was thinking and nodded in approval.
The Ji family is not only extremely bold, but is simply seeking their own destruction.
But my younger sister Chen Ningyuan is still in the Ji Mansion, and what Ji Yunchuan did is very likely to implicate her.
Shen Haoyue felt sad when he thought about this.
He regretted more than once why he did not try his best to stop his sister from marrying into the Ji family.
Let my sister fall into such dire straits.
Even though I regret it so much, now that things have come to this, I can only do my best to protect my sister.
Don't let Shen Ningyuan be implicated by the Ji Mansion.
