Chapter 97: The Calculation Begins
"Whether mother-in-law really doesn't know or is pretending not to know, you know it better than anyone else." Shen Ningyuan said in a cold tone.
Even so, Chen still insisted, "Produce evidence to prove that what you said is true."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan smiled again.
"Mother-in-law, what's the point of me showing you evidence? What you need to do now is to make your partner believe that you and Uncle Chen are truly siblings."
After saying this, Chen's expression became even uglier than before.
He immediately asked, “Chen Ningyuan, where did you hear these things?”
"My mother-in-law cried very loudly in her own yard last night. Many people heard it, didn't they?" Shen Ningyuan said faintly.
Once these words were spoken, Chen had no way to refute them.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Ningyuan continued: "Mother-in-law came to me today just to know if I have evidence of your affair with Uncle Chen. You are afraid that I will give the evidence to Ji Zehai and affect your relationship as husband and wife."
Shen Ningyuan continued to add: "Not only that, I also know that Ji Zehai has doubts about the relationship between you and Uncle Chen, but he has no evidence."
After hearing these words, Chen was completely confused.
Gritting his teeth, he asked, "So do you have any evidence?"
"Yes!" Shen Ningyuan said loudly.
She was pretending.
Actually she didn't.
Chen believed it, and immediately looked flustered, and shouted coldly: "Bring out the evidence!"
"Why?" Shen Ningyuan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I am your mother-in-law!" Chen put on the airs of an elder again.
Chen Ningyuan smiled nonchalantly, "What's wrong with the mother-in-law? The mother-in-law's affair is also against moral ethics! She will also be despised by the people! She will also be thrown into the pig cage!"
"you--"
Chen was speechless after hearing Shen Ningyuan's light words.
After a moment, Chen took a deep breath and asked through gritted teeth, "Tell me, what do you want?"
"I want to make a deal with my mother-in-law." Shen Ningyuan got straight to the point.
"You want to make a deal with me?" Chen's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes were even more surprised than before.
She frowned, looked Shen Ningyuan up and down, and asked, "What deal do you want to make with me?"
Just after she finished speaking, Chen thought of something and immediately added: "I won't do anything that is detrimental to the Marquis' Mansion!"
“Don’t worry, this matter will not affect the Marquis’ Mansion.” Shen Ningyuan said sincerely.
It will only affect your son.
Shen Ningyuan added in her heart.
Seeing Shen Ningyuan's sincere tone and calm expression, Chen believed it a little.
But he was still worried, so he immediately said, "Then you swear to heaven that the deal you want to make with me will not have any impact on the Marquis' Mansion!"
"Okay, I swear." Chen Ningyuan raised four fingers, "I, Chen Ningyuan, swear to heaven that the deal I made with my mother-in-law Chen today will not have any impact on the Marquis' Mansion. If what I said is wrong, I will be struck by lightning!"
After swearing the oath, Shen Ningyuan withdrew her hand, looked at Chen and said, “I have finished swearing, do you believe these?”
Chen nodded, "Okay, then tell me, what deal do you want to make with me?"
"It's very simple. Mother-in-law only needs to take the guests who come to pay their respects to the front yard on the day of the funeral and leave the space in the ancestral hall to me. It will only take an hour. After an hour, I will hand over the evidence of the affair between mother-in-law and Uncle Chen to her."
"Is it that simple?" Chen was a little unconvinced.
Shen Ningyuan nodded, “It’s that simple.”
Even so, Chen was still unsure and continued to ask, "No other requests?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "No."
"Okay, I promise you." Chen hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed.
The evidence was in Shen Ningyuan's hands, so she had no choice but to agree.
Shen Ningyuan smiled gently, “Then Ning Yuan is here, thank you mother-in-law!”
Thank you for helping me to trap your son.
Seeing Chen Ningyuan laughing so happily, Chen's heart began to beat fast, and she quickly asked, "Chen Ningyuan, what are you going to do in the ancestral hall on the day of the funeral? You are not going to do anything crazy like last time, are you?"
Whenever Chen thought of that time, her eyelids would twitch.
Shen Ningyuan shook her head and said with certainty: “Don’t worry, mother-in-law, I won’t touch a single brick or tile of the Ji family’s ancestral hall.”
Hearing this, Chen felt relieved.
He immediately said, "Okay, I will do what I promised you. On the day of the funeral, I will lead the guests to the front yard, and then bring them in an hour later."
"Remember to keep your word. Once you're done, hand over the evidence to me!"
"Okay." Shen Ningyuan agreed.
The deal was done, and Chen didn't want to stay here any longer, so he immediately turned around and left Xiyuanju.
After Chen left, Luying ran in anxiously and asked with concern, "Miss, did the Madam do anything to you?"
"Don't worry, she didn't do anything to me."
Then, Shen Ningyuan asked again: "Is Lan Yin back?"
"I'm back. Sister Lan Yin and her father are waiting outside the yard!" Lu Ying pointed outside.
Shen Ningyuan frowned slightly, "Why don't you come in?"
Luying explained: "Sister Lanyin said that the young lady's status is special now, so it's better for Lanbo not to come in casually."
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan felt warm in her heart.
No matter what the situation is, Lan Yin will always consider her from many aspects.
Shen Ningyuan ordered: "Okay, go out and tell Lan Yin to take Lan Bo to the accounting office to wait for me. I'll come right after I pack up."
"good."
Luying nodded, turned and walked out of Xiyuanju.
Chen Ningyuan returned to the room, took the several account books left by Uncle Chen, walked out of Xiyuanju, and headed towards the accounting office.
When they arrived at the accounting office, Lan Yin was already waiting there with Lan Bo.
As soon as he saw Shen Ningyuan, Lan Bo immediately stood up and bowed to Shen Ningyuan.
Shen Ningyuan gave him a helping hand and said, "We are one family, no need to be polite."
"Etiquette cannot be abolished."
After Lambert finished speaking, he stood up and then slowly sat down.
At this time, Lan Yin came over worriedly and asked, "Miss, I just heard when I came back that the lady went to your yard. Did she make things difficult for you?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "Don't worry, she can't embarrass me."
Hearing this, Lan Yin breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. I was afraid that if I wasn't around, the young lady would be bullied by the Ji family."
"Relax, now only your young lady can bully them."
As he spoke, Shen Ningyuan sat down in the main seat.
He handed the account book in his hand to Lan Yin and motioned her to pass it to Lan Bo.
Lan Yin took the account book and handed it to Lan Bo.
"Lambert, finish reading these account books first."
Shen Ningyuan said softly, picked up the teacup and started drinking tea.
Lambert nodded, "Miss, I'll take a look right away."
After saying this, Lambert began to look through the account books.
I read every page very carefully, afraid of missing any details.
After reading just a few pages, Lambert began to frown.
Halfway through reading, Lambert's brows furrowed even more tightly.
At the end, Lambert's face was filled with shock.
Time passed minute by minute until Lambert finished reading the last page of the account book.
Shen Ningyuan put down the teacup and asked gently, "Lamber, have you found any problems after reading the account book?"
