Chapter 130

It is hard to believe these words if you don't hear them with your own ears.

"Aunt Lu, the old lady has been in poor health recently. She said that since you are the mother of our young master, the child should be raised by you."

"What kind of words are these!" Lu Rou was so angry.

She had a rare peaceful life without Shen Nu in the past few days, but now

she wants to send this bastard back. It was hard not to think that Old Lady Shen did it on purpose.

Although Lu Rou was angry, she had no choice. She couldn't rush to Old Lady Shen to ask for an explanation like she did before.

If she did so, she might not be able to stay in the Marquis' Mansion. It

was all Xu Yuan's fault. If she hadn't appeared, how could her situation be so passive now.

She would get this account back from Xu Yuan sooner or later.

Lu Rou's eyes suddenly fixed on the crying Shen Nu, as the saying goes, the son pays for the mother's debt.

Xu Yuan has done so many things to let her down, so don't blame her for being rude!

"Nanny, bring the child here."

Lu Rou suddenly said to the nanny in an uncharacteristic way.

The nanny was shocked by Lu Rou's attitude and had a bad feeling.

"Aunt Lu, what do you want to do?"

The nanny asked carefully.

"Nanny, you have to remember your identity." Lu Rou reminded fiercely. If she didn't want to keep this person with Shen Nu, she would have sold him out for other reasons just based on the trouble she had caused in the past few times.

How could she keep him until this time? But Lu Rou knew that if there was no nanny, the job of taking care of Shen Nu would really fall on her.

That's why she chose to let the nanny go.

In the Duke's Mansion.

Xu Jing held the child in his arms with a smile on his face, "Yuan'er, leave the child here to me, you don't have to worry."

"Do whatever you should do. If you have any difficulties, tell your father."

Xu Jing knew that his daughter's determination could not be changed even if he was dissuaded. Instead of doing so, he might as well give it a try.

If something really happened, he, the old father, would still be there to support her.

He would never let his daughter get hurt again.

"Father, the Queen will hold a Hundred Flowers Banquet tomorrow, and I have to go to the palace. I'm afraid Yi'er will really trouble you."

"What trouble, Yuan'er? After all, I am Yi'er's grandfather, and this is what I should do."

Xu Jing was dissatisfied with Xu Yuan's words.

"By the way, I have something to ask you."

Xu Jing was delayed by Shen Yun'an's visit to the mansion before, and now he thought of this and asked Xu Yuan.

Seeing his father's eyes fall on him, Xu Yuan replied with confusion, "Father, please tell me."

"Yuan'er, what is your relationship with His Royal Highness the Regent?"

Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, especially when he heard these questions from Xu Jing.

"Father, don't you already know that I accidentally saved the Regent?"

"That's all?" Xu Jing obviously doubted Xu Yuan's answer, "But why do you think..."

Xu Yuan naturally couldn't tell Xu Jing directly, because there was still a layer of cooperation between her and Ye Siyan.

As the regent, if the news of Ye Siyan being poisoned by the frost poison spreads, it is conceivable how much impact it will have, and it is likely to cause Ye Siyan a lot of trouble.

Moreover, Ye Siyan did help her a lot in the previous things.

In response, Xu Yuan met Xu Jing's gaze again and answered him, "Yes."

"Father, did you hear anything?"

Xu Yuan also felt strange. Why would her father ask her about the relationship between her and Ye Siyan?

There seemed to be something strange in it.

"The regent once asked me about something about you."

Seeing Xu Yuan's question, Xu Jing did not hide these things. Although he asked about some trivial matters, he always felt that there was something strange.

"About me?" Xu Yuan's eyes were full of surprise when he heard this.

What exactly does this prince want to know?

Xu Yuan returned to his own courtyard, still confused about these things, and the possibility in his heart began to linger again.

Could it be that Ye Siyan discovered something, but if so, why didn't he come to ask him directly, but asked his father instead.

Xu Yuan was slightly worried. It seemed that she would have to find a suitable time to test the prince the next time she met him.

Soon it was the day of the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

Yi'er was taken care of by a wet nurse and a maid. Besides, it was the Duke's Mansion and her father was there, so Xu Yuan had nothing to worry about.

Xu Yuan also felt strange about this Hundred Flowers Banquet.

"Miss, this is the second time you have attended a banquet since you got married."

Cui Liu was beside Xu Yuan in the carriage and said to her.

Xu Yuan nodded. When she was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, she had received many invitations. But after she married Shen Yun'an and became the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion, she went to a banquet for the ladies of aristocratic families. But she didn't expect that she would be scolded by her mother-in-law, Old Lady Shen, and others after she came back.

Because of Shen Yun'an, she didn't want to argue with Old Lady Shen, and she hadn't attended any banquets since then.

If it weren't for the Queen in the palace handing over the invitation to the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she would not have gone.

Thinking about the past, I was so careful and cautious in order to make Shen Yun worry-free, but in the end, I was betrayed and heartless.

I was really stupid at that time.

Xu Yuan felt that the past was not worth it just thinking about it.

The carriage soon stopped at the palace gate.

As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw a maid coming forward with a smile.

"This must be the Marquis's wife."

Xu Yuan nodded, looking at the approaching maid, Xu Yuan's eyes were puzzled.

"Madame is..."

"I am someone close to the Queen Mother, and I am waiting for the Marquis's wife here on the Queen Mother's order."

"Please come this way, Marquis's wife."

Xu Yuan was a little surprised when she heard what the maid said. You know, today is the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by the Queen Mother, so she will definitely not be invited alone.

But the Queen Mother sent someone to greet her at this time, which has proved that it is different.

"Miss, is there something strange here?"

Cui Liu obviously realized this and said to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan shook his head, glanced at the nanny leading the way, and said to Cui Liu in a low voice, "Cui Liu, you can't talk nonsense in the palace."

If you make a mistake, it is likely to bring disaster.

As for the weirdness... Xu Yuan looked around. Now that he had entered the palace, no matter what happened, he could only deal with it as it happened.

Most of the ladies from the noble families and noble ladies from the capital who were invited to the Hundred Flowers Banquet gathered in the Imperial Garden, but the nanny led Xu Yuan to bypass them and came to the palace where the queen was.

"Madam Hou, please allow me to go in and report."

The nanny stopped and said to Xu Yuan.
