Chapter 124

After a long silence, Xu Jing slowly said, "Yuan'er, it was your father who failed to protect you."

Xu Yuan's eyes were wet, but there were some things she had to make up her mind.

After leaving the study, Xu Yuan returned to the room where Yi'er was before. She didn't see Ye Siyan just now, so she thought he should have left by now.

But what surprised Xu Yuan was that Ye Siyan not only didn't leave, but on the contrary, he was guarding the cradle.

Cui Liu and the nanny stood quietly aside, and no one dared to step forward until they saw Xu Yuan coming. Cui Liu came to her side.

Xu Yuan looked at the scene in front of him, and his mood became a little complicated for a while.

"Cui Liu, what's going on?"

"The Regent has been here just now?"

Cui Liu nodded.

Ye Siyan looked at Xu Yuan, with deep meaning in his eyes.

"Is the matter resolved?"

He came in front of Xu Yuan, his tone seemed normal, but with an indescribable emotion.

Seeing this situation, Xu Yuan had to let Cui Liu and the people present leave first.

Then she walked to the cradle again, and after seeing Yi'er fall asleep, she slowly said, "It's not resolved yet."

"Do you need my help?"

Ye Siyan asked.

"No need."

"Why send Your Highness to deal with those people in the Marquis' Mansion?"

"How are you doing today?"

Xu Yuan thought of the frost poison that Ye Siyan was infected with. Since the last treatment, it has been a long time since he was treated.

I wanted to find some free time to find out, but I didn't expect Ye Siyan to appear here today.

Seeing that Ye Siyan was just staring at her, Xu Yuan thought that his condition was a little more serious, and pointed to the chair over there and said to Ye Siyan, "You sit over there, I'll take your pulse first."

Ye Siyan didn't answer, but cooperated with what Xu Yuan said.

After taking the pulse, the pulse was normal.

Xu Yuan was even more puzzled about this, wondering why Ye Siyan looked at him like this when the pulse was obviously normal.

"Your Highness, do you have anything to say?"

Xu Yuan was confused in his heart, and was uncomfortable with Ye Siyan's gaze, so he simply asked.

"Xu Yuan, when did you and Shen Yun'an get divorced?"

Ye Siyan's question stunned Xu Yuan, and she looked at him in surprise.

"Why do you ask that?"

"With the situation in the Marquis' Mansion like this, are you really willing to stay there forever?"

"Your Highness, this matter seems to have nothing to do with the cooperation we mentioned."

If the person who asked these questions was Xu Jing, she would tell him some of her plans without wanting to worry him.

But for the man in front of her, except for the initial cooperation, they knew too little about each other.

"Did you forget what you promised me?"

"Xu Yuan, how can I find you?"

Xu Yuan was a little surprised. Although Ye Siyan's words were straightforward, they were not unreasonable.

If she was still the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, with Ye Siyan's status as the regent, if they really wanted to meet, there would indeed be some twists and turns.

It's just that...

Xu Yuan paused and said to Ye Siyan, "Your Highness, whether Shen Yun'an and I are divorced or not will not affect my treatment for you."

"You are hesitant, is it because of Yi'er's life experience?"

Xu Yuan's expression changed, and her eyes became alert when she looked at Ye Siyan.

She frowned and almost subconsciously said, "Your Highness, do you know something?"

Ye Siyan shook his head.

Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. She really thought that this prince knew something.

But the next second, she saw Ye Siyan's expression was very serious, and he said to her word by word, "Xu Yuan, I just want to tell you that no matter what the reason is, you are hesitant about the Marquis' Mansion."

"You have not only the Duke's Mansion behind you, but also me. Since I agreed to the cooperation that day, I will protect you to the end."

"As for Yi'er, you don't have to worry."

Xu Yuan listened to Ye Siyan's words, and her mood was a little complicated for a while.

The person in front of her was almost telling herself that no matter what she wanted to do, there was someone to support her.

But why did she feel that something was weird.

"Thank you."

Xu Yuan replied to Ye Siyan.

On the other side.

Shen Yun'an dragged Lu Rou directly back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Looking at her red wrist being pulled, Lu Rou felt pain, and her expression was even more frightened.

"Brother Yun'an, why are you..."

Before Lu Rou finished her words, she saw Shen Yun'an looking at her with a gloomy face.

"Rou'er, tell me why you went to the Duke's Mansion!"

Facing Shen Yun'an's sudden questioning, Lu Rou trembled all over, obviously frightened.

"Brother Yun'an, Xu Yuan concealed the fact that Yi'er was sick and brought Yi'er back to the Duke's Mansion. There must be something strange about this."

Lu Rou bit her lower lip, and under Shen Yun'an's gaze, she became more and more unsure.

"I... I just wanted to find out what happened, so I went there. Who knows those people..."

"But you forgot that your identity is now the mother of Shen Nu!"

Shen Yun'an became more and more angry. If he hadn't appeared in time, Lu Rou would have told everything.

Just the commotion at the Duke's Mansion, plus the previous letter of commitment, has made him a hot topic.

Shen Yunan suddenly regretted his decision to bring Lu Rou into the mansion.

Lu Rou had been raised outside for so many years, and everything was fine. Why did she become so unreasonable now?

Lu Rou also felt wronged. She was obviously Yier's biological mother, but now she couldn't even see the child. She didn't say that at the beginning.

"Brother Yunan, I just want to see Yier."

Lu Rou sobbed softly.

On the other side of the mansion.

Old Madam Shen became a little anxious when she learned that Shen Yunan brought Lu Rou back.

Because of the substitution, even she was tolerant of some of Xu Yuan's behaviors. She couldn't let Lu Rou ruin everything at this juncture.

Old Madam Shen thought about it and immediately decided to go to the yard where Lu Rou was to see what the current situation was.

"Old Madam, I'll go with you."

Seeing that Old Madam Shen wanted to go to the house, Chun'er was about to step forward and lend a hand.

Old Madam Shen frowned slightly at this time.

"No need, Chun'er, you are pregnant now, so you should pay more attention to your own condition. As for Lu Rou, Cui'er and other maids can accompany me there."

After saying this, Madam Shen took her people away.

Chun'er was stunned where she was, obviously surprised by Madam Shen's sudden attitude.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to see what happened to Lu Rou.

But now... Madam Shen's words just now clearly expressed that she did not trust herself.

This is not a good thing.

Everyone knows that she used to be someone close to the old lady, and now that she has entered the mansion and become a concubine, it can be regarded as a kind of reliance.

But if Madam Shen no longer trusts herself, then she must find another way to make a living.

Thinking of this, Chun'er found other people in the mansion.

"Concubine Chun, what do you want?"
