Chapter 76: The Ji Family is Turned Upside Down
Everyone was frightened by this sudden change and hid aside in fear.
"Madam, are you okay?" Lan Yin looked at Shen Ningyuan nervously.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "I'm fine, go and inform the Marquis and his wife, Uncle Chen has been killed by an assassin!"
Lan Yin nodded and immediately turned to the others, "Did you hear that? Quickly go inform the Marquis and his wife that there is an assassin in the Marquis's mansion!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two servants nodded and ran out to inform Ji Zehai and Chen.
Those who stayed behind gathered together in groups of three or five. Some of them stared at Uncle Chen's body with horror, while others looked around in panic, fearing that they would be the next person to be shot.
Shen Ningyuan huddled in Lan Yin's arms, still looking frightened on the surface, but secretly leaned close to Lan Yin's ear and whispered, "Tell the servants of the Marquis' Mansion to dispose of Ji Yunhuan's body."
"Miss?" Lan Yin looked at Shen Ningyuan in confusion, but the moment her eyes met hers, she immediately guessed what Shen Ningyuan was thinking.
"Miss, I understand."
Lan Yin nodded seriously and pushed Shen Ningyuan into Lu Ying's arms, "Lu Ying, take the young lady back."
"Uh-huh, okay."
Lu Ying responded in a daze, and under Lan Yin's gaze, she took Shen Ningyuan and left the back garden.
After the two men left, Lan Yin ordered the servants present to move Ji Yunhuan's body away.
"Be careful not to offend the young lady. Ask the maids in the boiler room to boil some hot water, clean the young lady and change her into clean clothes. As for what to do next, wait for the instructions from the Marquis and the Madam."
After hearing Lan Yin's words, everyone who was originally at a loss immediately started to get busy.
After everyone dispersed, Lan Yin looked at the bodies of Ji Yunhuan and Chen Bo, and couldn't help but frowned in worry.
She just hoped that what happened tonight would not be traced back to the young lady.
At this time, Chen Ningyuan had returned to her own Xiyuan Residence with the help of Luying.
After walking into the yard and seeing that there was no one around, Shen Ningyuan changed her panicked look and calmly broke free from Luying's hand.
"Come out." Shen Ningyuan said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid dressed in coarse linen clothes walked out from the corner calmly.
Seeing the maid coming out, Luying immediately stood up and blocked Shen Ningyuan, "Who are you? Don't hurt my lady!"
From Green Warbler's tone, I could tell that she was also scared.
But she still stood firmly in front of Shen Ningyuan, like a hen protecting her chicks.
Until the maid took two steps forward, knelt on one knee and saluted Shen Ningyuan, "Shen's army archer Yi Ge, greets the young lady!"
Lu Ying looked at Shen Ningyuan in surprise, "Miss, is she yours?"
"Yeah." Chen Ningyuan nodded, walked around Luying and came to Yi Ge, and said softly: "Get up."
"Miss Xie!" Yi Ge stood up and responded in a loud voice.
Shen Ningyuan looked at her carefully and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
He is worthy of being the best in the Shen family army. Even she couldn't help but admire his demeanor.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan asked in a deep voice: “Are you the secret guard that big brother arranged for me?”
Yi Ge nodded, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Miss, yes."
"Besides being good at archery, are you good at anything else?" Shen Ningyuan asked again.
After a moment of silence, Yi Ge finally replied, "I know a little bit of boxing and kicking."
Do you know a little bit of boxing?
Chen Ningyuan glanced at the back of Yi Ge's hand.
I immediately realized that this was just a humble statement.
How could the best of the Shen family army have only one skill?
"You did a great job just now." Shen Ningyuan praised sincerely.
Yi Ge nodded and lowered his eyes, "Miss, you are too kind. I'm glad I didn't scare you."
Her attitude remained neither humble nor arrogant, and she did not act in a servile manner just because Shen Ningyuan was a lady of the Shen family.
Seeing Yi Ge's calm appearance, Shen Ningyuan couldn't help but recall the moment when she had the intention to kill.
Yi Ge was originally hiding in the crowd, but his eyes were always fixed on Shen Ningyuan.
It was not until he realized that Shen Ningyuan had murderous intentions towards Chen Bo that Yi Ge quietly hid behind a big tree and made the Shen Family Army's gestures to Shen Ningyuan.
As soon as the two men responded, Uncle Chen was shot dead by a Yige arrow.
"In a few days, I will bring you to Xiyuanju to work. Then you can protect me."
"Yi Ge is always at the young lady's disposal."
"Okay, go down."
"yes."
Yi Ge bowed and then turned and left Xiyuanju.
After she walked out, Luying couldn't help herself any longer and asked, "Miss, is she really on our side?"
Shen Ningyuan nodded, “The person my eldest brother arranged can’t be wrong.”
Moreover, before she got married, she had heard from her eldest brother that there was an archer named Yi Ge in the Shen family army who was good at archery and never missed his target.
But I didn't expect that my eldest brother would send Yi Ge to protect me.
In this way, her safety in the Marquis' Mansion would be ensured.
"With her protecting the young lady, this servant will feel relieved." Luying said, looking at Shen Ningyuan, "Young lady, you should go in first and take a hot bath. You will catch a cold if you are soaked all over."
"Yeah, okay."
Shen Ningyuan did not refuse and followed Lu Ying into the room.
Soaking in the warm water, Shen Ningyuan's mind became clearer.
Thinking of what Ji Yunhuan said to her before her death, and Ji Zehai and Chen's indifferent attitude after seeing Ji Yunhuan's death, Shen Ningyuan felt a sigh in her heart.
If Ji Yunhuan had not been bewitched by Chen and had not attacked her twice in a row, perhaps she would not have died in her own hands today.
Even if you go to a temple to become a monk and spend your life surrounded by Buddha, it is better than losing your life early.
Although she felt sorry for it, Shen Ningyuan did not regret having dealt with Ji Yunhuan personally.
She was the first member of the Ji family to die at her hands, but she would not be the last.
Just as Shen Ningyuan was lost in thought, Lu Ying's voice rang out outside, "Madam, Sister Lan Yin is back."
"Let her in."
After saying that, Lan Yin walked in.
Through a layer of mist, Lan Yin said in a deep voice: "Young Madam, the assassination of Uncle Chen has been reported to Ji Zehai and Chen."
"Hmm." Shen Ningyuan pondered for a moment before asking, "What was their attitude after hearing the news?"
Lan Yin answered truthfully: "Ji Zehai didn't react at all, his face was very calm. But when Chen heard that Uncle Chen was dead, her reaction was very strange. She cried her heart out, and without waiting for Ji Zehai to say anything, she ran to the back garden crying. She looked so sad and angry that if you didn't know her, you would probably think her husband was dead!"
Lan Yin showed doubts as she analyzed seriously, "Madam, I feel that the relationship between Chen and Uncle Chen is not as simple as siblings... You know, Chen didn't cry so sadly when she saw the body of the young lady just now."
After hearing Lan Yin's words, Shen Ningyuan raised his eyebrows, with a triumphant smile in his eyes.
He immediately stood up from the bathtub, wiped his body with a dry towel, and said with a smile while putting on his clothes: "This is why I want Uncle Chen to die. I want Chen to reveal her true face in front of Ji Zehai."
"Once the seeds of doubt are planted, it will be out of control. Now that I have returned to the Ji family, I will turn the Ji family upside down!"
Now that Ji Yunhuan is dead, it's Chen's turn...
