Chapter 90: Fake Sisters
"Cousin, are you going to...walk back by yourself?"
Shen Ningyuan looked at Cui Mingzhu with a half-smile on her face.
"It's only half an hour's walk from here to the general's mansion, but it's very tiring. Cousin, you're still so weak. Are you sure you want to walk back by yourself?" Shen Ningyuan asked.
"It's okay, it's okay. My cousin has been busy lately, so I won't bother you."
Cui Mingzhu still insisted on walking back by herself, and even looked a little anxious.
Seeing her like this, Shen Ningyuan knew that she was not in a hurry to return to the Marquis' Mansion, but to see Ji Yunchuan.
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan stopped persuading him.
So he said, "Since my cousin insists, I will not arrange a carriage and send my cousin back to the general's mansion."
"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry about me. My brother-in-law's funeral will be held in two days. My cousin has already delayed you for a day by coming out to take care of me."
"Okay." Shen Ningyuan nodded in response, "Then cousin, go back by yourself."
As she spoke, Shen Ningyuan looked at the sky outside and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's getting late, so I'll go back to the Marquis' Mansion first. My cousin will live in the other courtyard from now on. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll arrange for the servants to prepare it."
"Thank you, cousin."
"You're too polite, cousin. We're all family, there's no need to be so formal."
"Cousin, I was wrong about what happened a few days ago. I shouldn't have made you angry when you were in a bad mood."
"It's okay, cousin. I was wrong too. I shouldn't have crushed your hand and left a scar on it."
"My aunt hired the best doctor for me and used the best medicine for wounds. I won't have any scars on my hands."
"From now on, we sisters will put aside our past grudges and stop fussing over trivial matters."
"Cousin, you are alone in the Marquis' Mansion, so you must take good care of yourself."
"My cousin is alone in the courtyard, so please take good care of yourself."
"good!"
"Um!"
“…”
After some false concern between the two "sisters", Shen Ningyuan used the excuse that she had other things to do in the Marquis' Mansion and took Lan Yin away.
After Shen Ningyuan left, Cui Mingzhu was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he waited until the time was almost right before tidying up his clothes and walking out of Shen Ningyuan's villa.
After walking out of the house, Cui Mingzhu did not forget to look back and took a proud look at the big house in front of her.
"This bitch Shen Ningyuan is still as gullible as before. I just lied to her for a few seconds and she let me have my baby. This way, I don't have to worry about being discovered by the Shen family, and I can keep the baby in my belly!"
Cui Mingzhu said with a bit of excitement in her eyes, "I'm going to find Brother Chuan and tell him the good news!"
After saying that, Cui Mingzhu quickly turned around and hurriedly walked towards the house where Ji Yunchuan was hiding.
After she walked away, two figures slowly walked out from the corner.
Lan Yin pointed in Cui Mingzhu's direction and said angrily, "Miss, my cousin is betraying us. Why don't you tell the general and his wife about this?"
Chen Ningyuan shook her head. "It's useless. She is my mother's closest relative. My uncle died at the hands of the bandits to save my mother. My mother has always felt guilty and has taken good care of Cui Mingzhu."
"Even if I tell my parents about this, even if they believe it, given my mother's personality, she won't do anything to Cui Mingzhu. At most, she will send her to the countryside and find a few maids to take good care of her."
"No way?" Lan Yin didn't believe it at all. "My cousin treated my young lady like this, will my lady let her go? My lady dotes on my young lady the most!"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, “You don’t understand.”
"My mother loves me, but she can't bear to be cruel about Cui Mingzhu's matter."
Hearing this, Lan Yin stopped talking.
She didn't expect that Cui Mingzhu was so important to Cui Jin.
Shen Ningyuan smiled lightly, not really caring.
She had guessed this outcome from the very beginning.
So she did not rush to take action against Cui Mingzhu, but instead took advantage of the situation and followed her and Ji Yunchuan's plan, moving forward step by step.
She was waiting for the day when her mother would discover Cui Mingzhu's true face and completely let go of this aunt-niece relationship.
By then, she will push Cui Mingzhu into hell with her own hands!
"Come on, let's follow."
After Shen Ningyuan finished speaking, he walked directly in the direction where Cui Mingzhu left.
Lan Yin said nothing, just blindly following Shen Ningyuan.

On the other side, after Ji Yunchuan returned from the Marquis' Mansion, he sat in the study all night.
Until dawn, and then sat there from dawn till now.
He didn't even drink a drop of water, but just kept frowning in thought.
"Who was hiding in the dark corner of the ancestral hall last night? Why would he hide behind the incense table in the middle of the night?"
Also, has the other party recognized him?
If this is true, then his situation is dangerous!
Thinking of this, Ji Yunchuan frowned even more tightly.
What was even more puzzling to him was why Ji Yunnuo suddenly appeared at the critical moment.
He was so frightened that he ran away in a panic without even seeing what the man looked like!
The more Ji Yunchuan thought about it, the more confused he became. He leaned his head back and looked up at the ceiling.
"We must find a way to catch that person and eliminate the root of the problem!" Ji Yunchuan said gritting his teeth.
And for some reason, a thought even flashed through his mind.
Could that person last night be Shen Ningyuan?
Apart from Shen Ningyuan, the love-brained one who would "keep vigil" for him, he couldn't figure out who else would appear in the ancestral hall in the middle of the night.
After pondering for a moment, Ji Yunchuan suddenly thought of something.
It was a direct blow to the head, and he sat up straight abruptly.
"I was just saying, I forgot something important. Mingzhu hasn't come to see me since she left the Marquis' Mansion. Did something happen?"
"Or is it that she is afraid that I will force her to have an abortion, so she hides from me?"
As he spoke, a hint of coldness appeared in Ji Yunchuan's eyes.
"Sure enough, all women in the world are the same, they have no sense of the overall situation!"
"A year ago, when Shen Ningyuan married into the Ji family, if the Shen family was willing to pay more dowry and follow me to be loyal to that person, why would I be so calculating towards her and the Shen family?" Ji Yunchuan snorted coldly, "No wonder we are a family, and we all only care about the immediate interests!"
Ji Yunchuan wanted to complain a few more words when Cui Mingzhu's anxious voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Brother Chuan!" Cui Mingzhu pushed open the door of the study and rushed towards Ji Yunchuan. "Brother Chuan, there was no news from me all night. Are you worried about me?"
Cui Mingzhu lifted up Ji Yunchuan's face and felt even more distressed when she saw the dark circles under his eyes.
She asked with concern: "Brother Chuan, did you not sleep all night because you were worried about me?"
Ji Yunchuan: “…”
This question made Ji Yunchuan nod and shake his head in a negative way.
But looking at Cui Mingzhu's anxious eyes, Ji Yunchuan nodded.
She pretended to be nervous and said, "Yes, I didn't see you when I came out of the mansion last night. Then you didn't come to see me for a whole day. I was very worried, afraid that something happened to you like Huan'er."
As he spoke, Ji Yunchuan stood up and looked at Cui Mingzhu affectionately.
After a while, he said with fear: "Fortunately, Zhu'er was fine, otherwise I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"
Cui Mingzhu shook her head, “Brother Chuan, don’t worry, I did faint outside the Marquis’ Mansion last night, but Shen Ningyuan saved me.”
Ji Yunchuan was startled at first, a hint of danger flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a cold voice: “You said, it was Shen Ningyuan who saved you?”
