Chapter 290: Dare not show up
The cool night wind hit the lanterns in the corridor, and the candlelight flickered.
Above the sky, the waxing moon had slowly stopped above the willow branches at some point.
The moonlight is as cold as water, bringing bursts of chill.
Shen Ningyuan stood in front of the window, thinking about what had happened recently, and a deep fatigue surged in her heart.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but he raised his hand and tidied up the hair at his temples that was messed up by the wind.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Shen Ningyuan did not turn around, but asked calmly.
"Still no news?"
Lan Yin shook her head. "The people secretly guarding the city gate didn't see him. I guess they haven't received the news yet."
However, three full days had passed since the news of Chen's critical illness was released.
If Ji Yunchuan had heard any rumors, he would never have been so calm.
The only explanation is that he never knew.
If he didn't know, he naturally wouldn't secretly return to the Marquis' Mansion.
Shen Ningyuan didn't know why, but she always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
It's like there is something that I have overlooked.
But after racking my brains for a long time, I still couldn't figure it out.
My thoughts have drifted away slowly without me noticing.
Originally, he thought that after Chen was released, she would suddenly fall ill and die soon. When he heard the news, Ji Yunchuan would definitely return to the Marquis' Mansion as soon as possible.
As long as he comes back, I will never let him escape this time.
But there was no news for many days, and Shen Ningyuan was afraid that something had gone wrong.
I thought about it carefully in my mind.
I am very sure that all those who have ulterior motives in the Marquis' Mansion have been controlled, and no news that is disadvantageous to them will be leaked.
I still remember that day when something unexpected happened in the Marquis' Mansion.
If Xie Wanzhou hadn't arrived in time, she would probably be too embarrassed to see anyone now.
Either they live out the rest of their lives with a secluded Buddhist temple, or they find a remote town to escape from the countless rumors.
If Ji Yunchuan could come up with such a vicious plan, how could he not have other channels to learn about Hou Fuzhong's news?
Something must have gone wrong.
But we still have to investigate what they are specifically.
Sitting and waiting for death is definitely not her style.
If it weren't for multiple investigations that confirmed that Lan Yin had no ulterior motives and no other strange behavior, the incident that day would have been unsolved.
Shen Ningyuan would probably doubt the maid who had served her closely for many years.
And that day, the secret guards guarding Xiyuanju did consume the food that was poisoned with sleeping pills, which led to their collective loss of trace.
The same is true for Lan Yin.
In order to erase all traces, they were all taken away and hidden by the housekeeper's men. They slept for seven or eight hours before they slowly woke up.
After Shen Ningyuan found out all the truth, he immediately controlled the housekeeper.
If he hadn't been afraid of alerting the enemy, the butler would have already reported to the King of Hell and entered the reincarnation of reincarnation, becoming an animal.
But no one who hurt her can escape.
How to repay kindness when you repay evil with kindness?
Shen Ningyuan has always been a vengeful person, even if the housekeeper was used by her before.
Once unfaithful, never to be trusted again.
This is her principle of doing things.
Lan Yin was very nervous when she saw that the young lady had not answered for a long time. Finally, she carefully expressed her guess.
"Miss, Ji Yunchuan was injured so badly before, I guess he must be hiding in some corner to recover from his injuries?"
The corners of Shen Ningyuan's mouth twitched.
She would not be surprised if anyone else would do such a thing.
But Ji Yunchuan was extremely filial to Chen, almost to the point of being foolishly filial.
It's impossible to ignore it for many days.
But where exactly did this problem arise?
It's really puzzling!
I am really sad about all the things that have happened in recent days.
One thing after another, one after another, leaving people no time to breathe.
At this moment, the crisp sound of the bead curtain was heard again.
Familiar footsteps slowly approached.
Chen Ningyuan leaned against the window with her head slightly tilted, and lazily opened her eyes to look at Yi Ge.
Seeing Yi Ge pursed his lips and looked displeased.
She already knew the answer before she asked.
"Did Xie Wanzhou send anyone to deliver the message?"
Yi Ge lowered his head silently without saying a word.
Nothing was said, yet it seemed as if everything had been said.
Shen Ningyuan was not too surprised about something that had been expected long ago.
He just sighed softly and then said.
"Okay, I understand. You guys go down first. Keep an eye on the movements in the mansion at all times. If there is any disturbance, report it to me immediately."
The two sighed silently and left the house quietly.
Only after they walked out of Xiyuanju did Lan Yin look at Yi Ge, biting her lower lip with her pearly teeth and said with a worried look on her face.
"Yi Ge, what do you think we should do? The young lady has been depressed these past few days. She has been staying in the house and not going anywhere. Will something happen to her?"
The reason why Lan Yin said this was because she had no idea how dangerous that day and night was.
That day, she ate a meal with sleeping pills in it and felt very sleepy early, so she went to bed.
When I woke up the next day, my head was dizzy.
Although everyone was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right, no one dared to breathe, and even the maids and servants who usually liked to be lazy looked very conscientious.
He was afraid that if he angered Shen Ningyuan, he would be sold out of the Marquis' Mansion and become the lowest-ranking slave.
Lan Yin tried to test Yi Ge several times afterwards, but was repelled every time by her powerful words.
No useful information was found at all.
There is no way of knowing what happened that night.
Yi Ge knew a little bit, but that was all.
"No news is the best news. Let's wait!"
Since the young lady hadn't given any instructions, they naturally wouldn't speculate on other matters.
Yi Ge has always known that his mission is to protect the young lady.
Fortunately, no irreparable mistakes were made that day.
If anything happens to the young lady, she will be absolutely blamed.
Yi Ge pursed her lips and looked at Lan Yin with displeasure.
"Just do your duty and don't meddle in other matters that are not your business."
After Yi Ge finished speaking, he looked at her deeply, walked hurriedly, and soon disappeared into the dark night.
Lan Yin was completely dumbfounded. She didn't understand why her former good sister would say such heartbreaking words to her.
She pouted, feeling extremely depressed.
Shen Ningyuan didn't know that her two personal maids had an argument outside.
Looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky, I always feel like a storm is about to come.
Presumably, this peaceful life will not last for a few more days.
As soon as Ji Yunchuan learned that Chen had suddenly fallen ill and was in critical condition, he would definitely find a way to return to the Marquis' Mansion.
No matter how bad the situation is, he will still inquire about the news in the Marquis' Mansion from various sources.
As long as there is any movement, the truth will definitely be revealed.
