Chapter 058: The Abacus is clacking
Following Shen Haoyue's order, the team started moving again, heading towards the Ji family in a mighty manner.
Ji Zehai and Chen, covered in dust, got into the carriage amid the pointing and talking eyes of the crowd.
Originally, when Ji Zehai left the Shen family, he was riding a horse.
But after what happened just now, he didn't dare show up in public again and could only squeeze into a carriage with Chen.
When she got on the carriage, Chen glared at Shen Ningyuan’s carriage viciously.
This bitch made them suffer such humiliation!
When we get back to the Ji family, let’s see how she deals with her!
She will let Shen Ningyuan know who has the final say in the Ji family!
The carriage swayed and soon arrived in front of the Ji family's gate.
After a few days, the Ji family was still in mourning, with white silk hanging everywhere inside and outside the house.
Looking at all this, Shen Ningyuan suddenly remembered that in two days it would be Ji Yunchuan's seventh day.
She wanted to see what kind of funeral the Ji family could hold without her dowry!
Thinking of this, Shen Ningyuan, with the help of Lu Ying, slowly got out of the carriage.
At this time, Shen Haoyue also turned over and dismounted, and came to Shen Ningyuan's side.
"Sister, I will take you here, and you will have to walk the rest of the way on your own."
As he spoke, Shen Haoyue glanced at the Ji family's door plaque and gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will definitely smash this door plaque!"
Shen Ningyuan tilted her head to look at the profile of Shen Haoyue, and said in a deep voice: “Don’t worry, second brother, this day will come soon, and I won’t let you wait too long.”
Shen Haoyue nodded, retracted his gaze and lowered his voice again, "Don't worry, sister, father has already made arrangements. There will be two secret guards with you to protect your safety at any time."
Before Shen Ningyuan could respond, Shen Haoyue continued, "However, it is easier to dodge an open attack than to defend against a hidden arrow. Even if you have the protection of secret guards, you still have to be careful and don't let the Ji family take advantage of you."
"Okay, I understand, second brother." Shen Ningyuan nodded in response.
While the brother and sister were still talking, Ji Zehai and Chen also got off the carriage at this time.
Ji Zehai walked towards the two of them with a smile on his face, looked at Shen Haoyue and said, "Don't worry, nephew, we will take good care of our daughter-in-law when she returns to the Ji family."
Ji Zehai deliberately emphasized the word "take care of", and stared at Shen Ningyuan viciously with a pair of gloomy eyes.
Chen also took the opportunity to say, "That's right. After my nephew goes back, please let my father-in-law and mother-in-law rest assured that my daughter-in-law will have the final say in our Ji family from now on. She will always be the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. She will make the decisions on all family affairs. I should let my daughter-in-law take over the Ji family."
As she said that, Chen looked at Shen Ningyuan, smiling so much that wrinkles appeared at the corners of her eyes, “Don’t you think so, daughter-in-law?”
After hearing this, the smile in Shen Ningyuan's eyes became very playful.
She looked up at Chen's calculating eyes, and her smile deepened.
This is not about asking her to take over the Ji family, this is clearly about asking her to use her dowry to subsidize the Ji family.
Once she takes over the Ji family, she will spend her own money to hold a decent banquet for Ji Yunchuan's funeral.
The sound of the abacus beads was deafening.
This mother-in-law, she doesn't really think that she is so smart that neither she nor her second brother can see through her little thoughts, right?
Sure enough, before Shen Ningyuan could speak, Shen Haoyue rejected Chen's proposal.
"Mrs. Ji, I think this is inappropriate."
Shen Haoyue did not refute, "My sister has just experienced the pain of losing her husband, and her body and mind have not recovered yet. I am afraid that her body will not be able to bear it if I let her worry and manage the Ji family."
"What's more, when you are worried, you are bound to make mistakes. I am afraid that my sister will make mistakes in a hurry and lose face for the Ji family." Shen Haoyue said, deliberately emphasizing his tone, "So you should take charge of the household affairs yourself."
"What?" Chen was stunned. "Let me do it?"
"That's right!" Shen Haoyue said seriously, "I heard from my sister before that Madam Ji has the final say on all matters of the Ji family, so I think it's better for you to be in charge of the Ji family!"
This series of words left Chen unable to refute.
When she came to her senses and wanted to say something.
Shen Haoyue had already turned to look at Shen Ningyuan, and said in a serious tone: "Sister, look how much your mother-in-law cares about you, you should be more filial to her in the future!"
Shen Ningyuan pursed her lips and smiled, and looked at Chen "touched", "Mother-in-law is so considerate of her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law will definitely be filial to her in the future!"
Chen: “…”
The brother and sister sang in unison, leaving Chen speechless.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
When Ji Zehai saw her like this, he glared at her fiercely, looking as if he was disappointed in her.
In this way, the "heavy burden" of managing the Ji family's finances finally fell on Chen.
She looked at Shen Ningyuan, who had a smile on her face and lowered her head in silence, and felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.
She was also thinking about asking Shen Ningyuan to take the initiative to pay for a decent funeral for Ji Yunchuan!
Unexpectedly, they didn't suffer any loss at all!
Now, with the little money the Ji family has, after the funeral, there will be nothing left!
Thinking of draining her own family assets, Chen felt so painful that she glared at Shen Ningyuan fiercely.
This black-hearted bitch wasn't even willing to pay a penny more for her husband's funeral!
I am really unworthy of being a wife!
At this moment, Shen Ningyuan suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of Chen.
When he looked up, he happened to meet Chen's gloomy gaze.
Chen was startled. She didn't expect that she would be caught by Shen Ningyuan on the spot just by glaring at him.
He immediately retracted the fierce look in his eyes and turned his head to avoid Shen Ningyuan's gaze.
Shen Ningyuan didn't care, she turned her head to look at Shen Haoyue and said, "Second brother, you have already sent me to the Ji family, it's almost time to go back, on the day of the funeral, you and my parents will come to pay your respects."
"Yes." Shen Haoyue nodded, "Sister, take good care of yourself and don't be too sad. Second brother will go back first. After a few days of the funeral, second brother will come to see you again."
Having said that, Shen Haoyue didn't even look at Ji Zehai and Chen, turned around, climbed onto the horse's back, and left with the Shen family's guards.
Looking at Shen Haoyue's straight back, Shen Ningyuan's heart also calmed down.
Turning around, he looked at the plaque above the gate.
Shen Ningyuan had the same idea as Shen Haoyue.
One day, she will smash this door plaque to pieces!
Ji Zehai and Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Shen Haoyue walk away.
The look he gave Shen Ningyuan was no longer as polite as before.
Ji Zehai glanced at Shen Ningyuan and said indifferently: "Hurry up and go in. There are so many people watching outside. Don't you think it's embarrassing!"
Having said that, Ji Zehai walked straight into the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
Chen followed closely behind, keeping a distance from Ji Zehai.
It seemed as if she was afraid that he would vent all the anger that had accumulated today on her.
Watching the two people crossing the threshold of the Ji family one after the other, Shen Ningyuan's murderous intent grew in his heart.
Sooner or later, she will turn this mansion into the burial place of the nine members of the Ji family!
