Chapter 121

When Old Lady Shen thought about what Lu Rou had done, she became even more worried.

She had treated Lu Rou with some favoritism because she thought she was gentle and sensible, and had given birth to the first child for the Shen family.

But she had never thought that it would bring so much trouble. If she had known this, she should not have agreed so easily.

As soon as Shen Yun'an left the house, he saw the guards rushing over.

"My Lord, things are not good!"

Seeing the guards like this, Shen Yun'an frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Aunt Lu went to the Duke's Mansion."

"What?" Shen Yun'an paused. The Duke's Mansion was not Xu Yuan's natal home. What was Rou'er doing there at this time?

It was not until a long time later that Shen Yun'an figured out the whole story.

Xu Yuan, this vicious woman, dared to conceal the fact that Yi'er was sick.

What worried Shen Yun'an the most was Lu Rou. If Rou'er told the truth in her excitement...

If Xu Yuan was in the Marquis' Mansion, perhaps he could still use Shen Nu to coerce and bribe Xu Yuan.

But if we go back to the Duke's Mansion, with Xu Jing there, there's really nothing we can do.

Just thinking about this, Shen Yun'an immediately rushed to the Duke's Mansion.

He just hoped to stop Lu Rou when everything happened.

At this time, Xu Yuan had already returned to the Duke's Mansion with the child, but she didn't expect that Ye Siyan was there too.

"Why is Your Highness here?"

Xu Yuan asked when she first saw Ye Siyan.

Ye Siyan's eyes fell on the child in Xu Yuan's arms, with inquiry in his eyes, and he moved closer to Xu Yuan.

Feeling Ye Siyan's gaze, Xu Yuan hugged the child tighter.

"I just want to see the child."

Ye Siyan explained to Xu Yuan.

"Your Highness, you haven't answered my question yet."

Xu Yuan was still alert. Even though she had cooperated with Ye Siyan, there was no guarantee that he would not make other moves.

Once again, Xu Yuan became more cautious about external things.

"Passing by."

"Huh?" Xu Yuan was stunned, and she doubted the truth of Ye Siyan's words even more. While she was thinking, she heard the voice of her father Xu Jing behind her.

"Yuan'er, I invited His Royal Highness the Regent to come into the mansion."

Xu Jing explained, looking at the two of them. He didn't expect that his daughter had actually saved this prince.

It was really a subtle fate.

Hearing Xu Jing's answer, Xu Yuan looked at Ye Siyan again and let down her guard a little.

"Can I see the child now?"

Ye Siyan asked her again with a calm tone and a smile in his eyes.

Although Xu Yuan was a little surprised, why Ye Siyan was obsessed with looking at the child in her arms, but this was in the Duke's Mansion, and there was a father around.

After thinking about it, Xu Yuan finally agreed.

Ye Siyan took the child from Xu Yuan's arms, and his eyes became soft.

Xu Jing didn't expect that the Regent, who was always rumored to be unkind, would show such a gentle side.

"Yuan'er, come with me."

Xu Jing looked at Xu Yuan, and he was obviously confused about her sudden return to the mansion this time.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xu Yuan was a little worried about Yi'er who was held by Ye Siyan.

Ye Siyan looked at Xu Yuan like this, and his mood was complicated for a while.

"Xu Yuan, are you afraid that the king will do something?"

"..."

Although Xu Yuan knew that Ye Siyan would not do anything, she always felt that something was wrong.

Why would her father invite Ye Siyan into the house? She remembered that they had no intersection in the past.

Xu Yuan had more doubts in her mind, so she simply took this opportunity to ask one by one.

Before leaving, Xu Yuan asked the wet nurse and Cui Liu to stay around.

Ye Siyan is a man after all, and he may be unfamiliar with taking care of children.

With them around, they can respond in time at critical moments.

Ye Siyan naturally noticed these actions of Xu Yuan. He looked at the baby in his arms and sighed, "Yier, your mother really doesn't trust the king."

The baby in the arms seemed to understand what Ye Siyan said. When the two little hands were waved in the air, they giggled.

Leaving the main hall, Xu Yuan and Xu Jing came outside.

"Father, do you have something to ask?"

"Yuan'er, when did you become the savior of the Regent?" Xu Jing looked at Xu Yuan, very confused.

Xu Yuan was stunned, "So father knew this, so he invited me into the mansion?"

Xu Jing nodded. He wanted to use this as an excuse to ask, but he didn't expect Xu Yuan to suddenly return to the mansion at this time.

"It was just a coincidence."

Xu Yuan could only tell Xu Jing what happened.

Xu Jing was relieved after hearing this, but the next second, his eyes fell on Xu Yuan again, "What about you?"

"Me?" Xu Yuan looked surprised.

"Father, what do you mean by this?" Xu Yuan was puzzled.

Xu Jing frowned at this time, "You suddenly returned to the mansion with Yi'er. Did something happen in the Duke's Mansion that upset you?"

"I already know about the incident in the Imperial College some time ago. This Shen Yun'an is really a piece of shit."

"Yuan'er, you..."

Although Xu Jing was angry about what Shen Yun'an did, he couldn't help but worry.

"Father, I'm just standing here. Nothing happened."

Xu Jing saw Xu Yuan said it easily, but his intuition told him that his daughter must have encountered something in the Duke's Mansion.

As for why he didn't say it, I'm afraid he didn't want to worry himself.

Thinking of this, Xu Jing became more worried about it.

When Xu Jing wanted to continue, he saw a guard walking quickly towards him.

"Master, a woman suddenly appeared outside the mansion, claiming to be the concubine of the Marquis' Mansion, and said that she had something important to see the young lady."

"Concubine?"

Xu Jing was shocked. There was not only Yuan'er, the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, how could there be another concubine.

It seems that Yuan'er's return this time must be related to these things.

Seeing Xu Jing was about to go and check, Xu Yuan stopped him and said, "Father, they are just some unimportant people."

"Then tell me, what is going on with the concubine in the Marquis' Mansion?"

What happened here was really too abnormal.

Xu Yuan was helpless. It seemed that if she didn't explain the whole story today, her father would obviously not give up.

But she was not surprised by Lu Rou's coming, and she even expected it.

In the Marquis' Mansion, the fight between Chun'er and Lu Rou alone could not cause any waves.

Then she would have to take further action.

"Yuan'er."

Xu Jing's voice interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts.

"Father, I'll go over and take a look first. As for the matter about the concubine in the Marquis' Mansion, I'll explain it to you later, okay?"

Hearing Xu Yuan say this, Xu Jing had to agree.

"I'll go with you to take a look."

Xu Yuan shook his head and looked in the direction.

"Father, His Royal Highness the Regent is a guest when he comes here. How can we let him stay in here alone? This would make our Duke's Mansion seem impolite."
