Chapter 139: Borrowing money from her again?
After the man finished speaking mysteriously, the people around him were instantly aroused with curiosity and began to ask questions eagerly.
"What's so strange? Tell me quickly."
"Yeah, don't keep us in suspense at this point, it's driving us crazy!"
Seeing this, the man lowered his voice and whispered, "Haven't you noticed that the Marquis' Mansion has been in trouble for the past few days, and the Marquis's young lady has rarely shown up?"
Shen Ningyuan was stunned when she heard this.
It’s fine if these people are gossiping, but why are they involving her as well?
"Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true. Since the funeral at the Marquis' Mansion, the young lady has indeed not made any appearances."
"Moreover, when those people came to collect the debt, she didn't show up. You know, she has so much dowry in her hands. If they deduct any part of it, it would be enough for the Marquisate to pay off the debt!"
"Haha, the eldest young master of the Ji family has passed away. What is she still doing guarding the Ji family?"
"In my opinion, she wants to protect her money and is ready to run away!"
"She's in such a hurry to run away right after her late husband was buried? Isn't she worried about being stabbed in the back?"
"She has the support of the Shen family, what is she afraid of?"
Hearing these people talking more and more unpleasantly, Lan Yin was angry and couldn't help looking at Shen Ningyuan, and asked anxiously: "Miss, do you want me to go up..."
"Need not."
Before Lan Yin could finish her words, Shen Ningyuan raised her hand to interrupt her.
"Whatever they say, when the truth comes out, they will know that the poor fellow they are talking about is actually a complete liar!"
Shen Ningyuan looked calm and waved her hand, "Let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion."
"good."
Lan Yin had no choice but to follow Shen Ningyuan and leave.
Behind him, the gossip of those people continued.
On the way back to the Marquis' Mansion, almost all passers-by were talking about what happened in the Mansion today.
Who would have thought that a simple debt collection incident could cause such a stir.
But it’s better this way. Now that the matter has gotten out of hand, if the Marquis’ Mansion wants to stir up trouble again, they’ll have to think twice!
When they were almost at the Marquis' Mansion, Lan Yin asked suspiciously, "Hey, Miss, look, the debt collectors have left, why are there still so many people gathered at the door of the Marquis' Mansion?"
Shen Ningyuan looked up and saw that there were indeed many people gathered at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, looking inside curiously, not knowing what they were looking at.
"Today's incident has caused such a big stir, there must be a lot of people watching the fun. It doesn't matter, let's go on our way."
Shen Ningyuan quickened her pace and walked towards the Marquis' Mansion.
At this time, the people who were watching outside the Marquis' Mansion saw Shen Ningyuan coming back and made way for him.
Countless gazes fell on Shen Ningyuan, almost poking her into a hornet's nest.
In response, Shen Ningyuan seemed unaware and walked straight into the Marquis' Mansion.
After she left, the discussion behind her started again:
"Such a big thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion, and she actually hid outside and didn't come back. She is really unworthy of being a wife!"
"She has the support of the Shen family, so she is not worried about what the Ji family will do to her."
"Maybe one day, the Shen family will forcibly take her back and find someone else to marry her to!"
"She and Ji Yunchuan are married according to the emperor's order. Does she dare to return to the Shen family?"
"Who knows? But judging from her current attitude, I'm afraid she doesn't want to stay in the Ji family!"
“…”
Hearing the unbearable discussions outside, Lan Yin's face turned red with anger, and she immediately became anxious: "Miss, what they said is so unpleasant, I'm going to go and argue with them!"
Lan Yin said, and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Shen Ningyuan.
Shen Ningyuan asked nonchalantly, “People are just following the crowd. People in the whole capital are talking about me. Can you stop everyone?”
"I just can't stand it. They speak so badly of the young lady!"
"It's okay. I don't care."
Shen Ningyuan smiled indifferently and pulled Lan Yin into the Marquis' Mansion.
The master and his two servants were about to walk towards their own yard when they were suddenly stopped by someone.
The nanny beside Chen had a cold expression, looked at Shen Ningyuan unkindly, and said coldly: “Young Madam, Madam asked you to go to her yard immediately after you come back.”
Lan Yin took a step forward and refuted sharply: "Young Madam has just returned, can't she go back to the yard to rest first?"
The nanny still had a cold expression. She ignored Lan Yin and stared at Chen Ningyuan and repeated, "Madam said that as soon as the young lady comes back, she must go to her yard immediately."
"you--"
Lan Yin wanted to curse a few more times, but was stopped by Shen Ningyuan.
Chen Ningyuan looked at the nanny and said with a half-smile: "It's okay. Such a big thing happened in the Marquis' Mansion. Madam Ji must be very anxious. Let's go and see if she is dead."
The nanny's face changed and she glared at Shen Ningyuan, "Young Madam, what are you talking about?"
"Such an obvious meaning, don't you understand?" Shen Ningyuan raised an eyebrow and asked back.
"Young Madam, you you you..."
Mammy pointed at Shen Ningyuan and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Shen Ningyuan gave her a cold sidelong glance.
Without saying anything, he walked straight towards Chen's yard.
Lan Yin didn't expect that Shen Ningyuan could speak so directly.
After glancing at the nanny and snorting coldly, he immediately turned around and followed Shen Ningyuan.
…
At this time, after experiencing the debt collection turmoil in the morning, Chen was exhausted both physically and mentally, and was leaning on the chaise longue in the room to rest.
At this time, the voice of the nanny sounded outside the door: "Madam, the young lady is back."
When Chen heard this, she instantly became alert.
The originally exhausted body immediately became energetic.
When Shen Ningyuan walked in, Chen quickly stood up and walked over to greet her.
He grabbed Shen Ningyuan's arm and shouted excitedly: "Ningyuan, you are finally back!"
Shen Ningyuan glanced calmly at the arm that Chen was holding.
Then he pulled it out without leaving a trace, and said in a cold tone: "Mrs. Ji, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to be so enthusiastic. I am a little uncomfortable with it."
Chen's face froze, and she said hesitantly, "Ning Yuan, what are you talking about? I'm your mother-in-law. It would be nice if we could get closer and get along more easily, wouldn't it?"
Hearing this, Shen Ningyuan mocked unceremoniously: “Madam Ji, you don’t have to be like this. The relationship between us is not as good as you say.”
Chen's face changed, but Shen Ningyuan ignored her expression and continued, "As for getting along comfortably, that's even more impossible. After all... I will only be at ease if you die!"
After hearing this, Chen's face turned red with anger, and cursed: "Chen Ningyuan, you bitch-"
But then he changed his mind and realized that he still needed help from Chen Ningyuan, so he immediately shut his mouth.
Seeing her like this, Shen Ningyuan laughed on the spot.
He asked very impolitely: "What's the bitch? A bitch? Does Madam Ji want to scold Shen Ningyuan again, you bitch?"
Chen's face changed and she quickly denied it: "Of course not, why would I scold you?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "If you want to scold, just scold, don't hide it, what's more, haven't you scolded enough?"
"you--"
Chen was once again left speechless.
