Chapter 125

"Did the Madam come back with the Marquis and Lu Rou?"

Chun'er asked the maid.

"No, the Marquis only brought Concubine Lu back to the mansion, and the Madam was not among them."

Chun'er's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Lu Rou, a concubine, dared to make trouble in the Duke's Mansion. It has always been heard that Duke Xu is extremely fond of the Madam. How could he remain indifferent after knowing the existence of Lu Rou.

But now that Lu Rou has returned safely, does it prove that something has happened to the Madam?

Chun'er covered her slightly bulging belly, feeling even more uneasy. Although the Madam had clearly said that she would help her in the past, she would not stand idly by if she encountered trouble.

And that Lu Rou, although she did not get along with her, her focus was mostly on the Madam and the young master.

Now that the Madam is not here, her future situation will be even more difficult.

Chun'er felt panic when she thought about this. She had to do something, at least she could not be in a completely passive situation.

Old Madam Shen quickly came to where Lu Rou was. As soon as she entered the room, she saw Lu Rou sobbing quietly, while her son Shen Yun'an frowned and said nothing.

Shen Yun'an's face softened when he saw Old Madam Shen.

"Mother, why are you here?"

Lu Rou stopped crying when she saw the visitor.

Old Madam Shen snorted coldly, glanced at Shen Yun'an, and then quickly moved her eyes away until she fell on Lu Rou, with anger mixed in her voice.

"I came to see if you are going to favor Lu Rou again."

"Where is Xu Yuan, and Yi'er, didn't they come back with you?"

After his mother mentioned it, Shen Yun'an's face was a little ugly. This time when he went to the Duke's Mansion, in addition to thinking of stopping Lu Rou, he also wanted to bring Xu Yuan back.

Who would have thought that so many things would happen, and even almost let Lu Rou tell the story.

Without getting Shen Yun'an's answer, Old Madam Shen already had a guess in her heart. She walked towards Lu Rou and slapped her before anyone could react.

Lu Rou, who was suddenly slapped, looked at Old Madam Shen in disbelief.

Shen Yun'an was the first to react and asked his mother, "Mother, why did you hit Rou'er?"

"Yun'an, don't you think about how much trouble Lu Rou has brought to our Shen family since she came into the mansion? Many things were caused by her."

In the eyes of Old Madam Shen, even if Xu Yuan was disobedient, she could still get away with it in terms of face, but Lu Rou was different. She was basically making trouble blindly.

After explaining the reason once, she continued to make the same mistake.

She could ignore the previous things, but it didn't mean that she could let go of her prejudice against Lu Rou.

Shen Yun'an heard his mother's answer and wanted to defend her when he saw Lu Rou with tears in her eyes, but the fact was indeed so.

If Lu Rou's position in his heart was not different, he would have dealt with it directly if it was someone else.

Lu Rou widened her eyes and looked at Shen Yun'an for help at the first time.

But she didn't expect that Shen Yun'an not only didn't mean to explain for herself, but also said, "Rou'er, admit your mistake to your mother."

"Brother Yun'an?" Lu Rou was shocked. You know, she was slapped by Old Lady Shen.

Shen Yun'an actually asked her to admit her mistake to this old man.

Seeing Lu Rou biting her lower lip and not admitting her mistake, Old Lady Shen became even more angry. As a woman, she knew what Lu Rou was thinking.

At that time, she didn't care because Lu Rou gave birth to the first child of their Shen family. Now Chun'er is pregnant and the child is with Xu Yuan. Lu Rou seems not so important at this time.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Shen didn't care about Lu Rou being here, and spoke directly to Shen Yun'an.

"Yun'an, I think this Lu Rou is even more unruly than Xu, so just let her move out for a while."

"Move out?"

Lu Rou was shocked and said to Old Madam Shen, "Old Madam, now that I have entered the mansion, I am also your daughter-in-law. You can't do this to me."

Shen Yun'an also felt that this was inappropriate, "Mother, Rou'er is weak, where can you ask her to move out?"

Old Madam Shen didn't care.

"Where she lived before, she will go now, not to mention that she has been kept outside all these years."

"Yun'an, you have to consider the consequences of what she did."

Old Madam Shen reminded Shen Yun'an.

Shen Yun'an was obviously hesitant.

Lu Rou, who had relied on Shen Yun'an's favor, was completely panicked after hearing these words.

If it were someone else, saying these words to Shen Yun'an might not have any effect.

But this person happened to be Shen Yun'an's mother, Old Madam Shen.

This old thing.

Lu Rou was furious, but she had no way out. She knew that once Shen Yun'an agreed to this, it would be really difficult for her to return to the mansion.

What's more, her baby Yi'er was still in Xu Yuan's hands.

"Brother Yun'an, please don't drive me away."

Lu Rou begged Shen Yun'an.

Shen Yun'an saw Lu Rou like this, and he couldn't bear it.

"Mother, since Rou'er has entered the mansion, how can she move out again? I have already punished Rou'er with confinement for this matter. I think she will definitely not do it again."

Shen Yun'an looked at Lu Rou and winked at her.

Because he knew that his mother had come here, he rushed over again. He

just hoped that Rou'er would not waste his efforts.

At this time, Lu Rou was afraid of moving out, so how could she dare to do it like before? At Shen Yun'an's signal, she hurriedly said, "Old lady, I will definitely not dare to do it in the future."

Seeing Lu Rou give in, Old Lady Shen snorted coldly and didn't say anything else.

"I'm asking you, how is Yi'er?"

"I... didn't see Yi'er."

Lu Rou answered hesitantly under the gaze of Old Lady Shen.

She didn't even step into the door of the Duke's Mansion.

Old Lady Shen's face became even uglier.

She turned and looked at Shen Yun'an on the side, "Yun'an, what about you, don't tell me that you didn't see Yi'er either."

Shen Yun'an was silent.

Old Lady Shen frowned even tighter, "It's ridiculous, Lu Rou may just be fooling around in the Duke's Mansion, but you are the father of the child."

"Can Xu stop you from visiting the child?"

"Mother, this matter is a bit complicated, can I explain it to you later?"

Seeing that Old Lady Shen didn't stop asking questions, Shen Yun'an could only try to divert attention with other topics.

He was concerned about what Lu Rou said about the child, and was afraid that Xu Jing and Xu Yuan would completely doubt it.

There were so many people around at the time, how could he dare to stay any longer, let alone visit the child.

Old Madam Shen seemed to think of something, and her eyes changed. "Lu Rou, you didn't tell the truth this time, did you?" Thinking of the stupid things Lu Rou had done some time ago, Old

Madam Shen asked directly.
