Chapter 030: My husband is dead, I will not take his surname
Seeing Chen so nervous, the servant didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing that he was slow to speak, Chen's expression changed immediately.
He scolded, "Are you back or not? Why don't you say something?"
The servant shuddered and said quickly, "Madam, the young mistress is not coming back!"
"What do you mean?" Chen's eyelids jumped.
The servant replied helplessly: "Madam, the young mistress took the carriage arranged by the Shen family and did not come to the Ji family at all. Instead, she went to the bustling street market and went shopping with her sister-in-law..."
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
Chen and Ji Yunhuan were so shocked that they staggered and almost lost their balance.
After a moment, Chen was the first to come back to his senses.
He asked in disbelief: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong, Shen Ningyuan really went shopping?"
The servant nodded affirmatively, "Madam, I am sure I am not mistaken. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself. The young lady is now sitting in the most famous Yushang Pavilion in the capital, having her clothes tailored for her!"
Ji Yunhuan exclaimed, "My eldest brother's coffin is still in the ancestral hall. How could she still have the mind to make new clothes?"
"This, this bitch!"
Chen was so angry that she stamped her feet.
"My son just died, his body is still warm, and this bitch is busy buying new clothes! Does she really take the Ji family seriously?"
“Ahem…”
After Chen finished yelling, he began to cough violently.
"Mom, are you okay?" Ji Yunhuan ran over and patted Chen's back gently.
He comforted her, "Mom, don't be anxious. Don't get angry and hurt yourself."
Chen looked at Ji Yunhuan, her eyes bloodshot.
Nusheng shouted, "Huan'er, I'm not angry, I'm just upset for your brother! This bitch, when your brother's body was still warm, bought new clothes in front of countless people in the capital. This is clearly... trampling on your brother's heroic spirit!"
Seeing Chen so excited, Ji Yunhuan opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort her.
After a while, Chen slowly regained his composure.
"Huan'er, let's go!" Chen gritted her teeth.
"Mom, where are we going?" Ji Yunhuan asked.
"Go find Chen Ningyuan and fight for your brother's honor!"
Having said that, Chen walked out angrily without caring about Ji Yunhuan's reaction.
Ji Yunhuan was stunned for a moment, then followed.

At this time, Shen Ningyuan was sitting in the elegant seat of Yushang Pavilion, drinking tea slowly.
Song Yan'er held a piece of cloth and gestured on her body, "Yuan'er, what do you think of this color? Is it too bright?"
Shen Ningyuan looked up and praised directly: “Sister-in-law has fair skin, this color suits her very well.”
"Okay, then use this fabric." Song Yan'er handed the fabric to the head of Yushang Pavilion, "There's no need to measure the size, just follow the last size."
"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away."
The head waiter took the cloth respectfully and handed it to the tailor behind him, but he did not leave. Instead, he turned his gaze to Shen Ningyuan beside him.
"Madam Ji..." The head waited a little hesitantly, "Do you want to try it out?"
The headmaster saw Shen Ningyuan sitting quietly, and was not sure whether she planned to make clothes, so he asked politely.
“I don’t need it.” Shen Ningyuan shook her head and said lightly, “I came here today to accompany my sister-in-law to buy new clothes.”
"Okay, I understand." The head of the office was still respectful, "Mrs. Ji, in the future--"
"Stop."
Before the headmaster could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Ningyuan's cold voice.
Being stared at by Shen Ningyuan's slightly cold gaze, the head of the department also felt a chill on his back.
He quickly said, "Madam Ji, is there anything we cannot do to entertain you well——"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Ningyuan's cold voice.
"My husband has passed away, so I won't use his surname." Shen Ningyuan closed the teacup and placed the teacup on the table. She said calmly, "When I come to your house in the future, please call me Miss Shen with both my full name!"
The head's pupils shrank, and he looked up at Shen Ningyuan in slight shock, but he quickly reacted.
He quickly changed his words and said, "Okay, okay, Miss Shen, I'm not good at talking, please don't argue with me."
"Yeah." Shen Ningyuan responded, and then asked, "Do you have ready-made men's clothing in your store?"
"Huh?" The person in charge looked confused.
Shen Ningyuan added: "It doesn't matter what the style is, as long as it's ready-made."
The manager looked at Shen Ningyuan suspiciously, “If you don’t care about the style, there are indeed a few pieces in the store.”
"Take it out. I want them all."
The manager was even more puzzled, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll get it out right away."
Having said that, the manager turned and left.
At this time, Song Yan'er also looked at Shen Ningyuan strangely, "Yuan'er, didn't you say you were going out to buy new clothes? Why don't you buy a few for yourself?"
Shen Ningyuan shook her head, "Now is not the time to buy new clothes, we'll talk about it later when we have the chance."
"Then what do you want to do when you ask the manager for those out-of-season men's ready-made clothes?" Song Yan'er asked again.
She was really curious, and she really couldn’t figure out what Shen Ningyuan, the sister-in-law, wanted to do.
"Don't worry about it, sister-in-law. I'll show you a good show later, and you'll know what I want to do."
Shen Ningyuan said, picking up the teacup beside him and taking a slow sip.
Although Song Yaner was curious, she didn’t ask any more questions when she saw that Shen Ningyuan didn’t want to say more.
He turned around and sat down, turning his gaze towards the outside of Yushang Pavilion.
At this time, the streets were already crowded with onlookers, all craning their necks to look inside, wanting to see what Shen Ningyuan was doing inside.
Countless people pointed at Shen Ningyuan inside, with mixed words of praise and criticism.
"The rumors outside are so bad, but Shen Ningyuan still has the mind to go out shopping. Isn't she afraid of being stabbed in the back?"
"Yes, as far as I know, the rumors outside are as bad as they can be. Chen Ningyuan is really brave to come out at this time."
"However, on the other hand, the fact that Shen Ningyuan dared to come out shows that she has an open mind. Perhaps those rumors are all false..."
"Yes, the Shen family has always had a good tradition, and the daughter they brought up shouldn't be too bad. I also think the rumors are too sudden and too weird!"
"However, she is busy buying new clothes right after her husband died. This is really too much. She doesn't care about her husband's family and her late husband at all!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I didn't expect that she would still want to buy new clothes at this time. You said buying new clothes is fine, but she bought them quietly. But she dared to make such a fuss. It's really too much!"
“…”
"Mrs. Ji and Miss Ji are here!"
Amidst the discussion, someone shouted.
Everyone stretched their heads to look, and saw Chen, supported by Ji Yunhuan, and a group of servants rushing towards this side.
Judging from the situation, he is not well-intentioned.
Shen Ningyuan picked up the teacup and was about to drink tea when she heard the noise outside and looked up suddenly.
Gently placing the teacup back on the table, Shen Ningyuan raised the corners of his lips.
It came as expected.
