Chapter 14 Not So Different

Chapter 14 Not quite the same

In the past few days, Xu Yuan had people buy a lot of things that the child needed, including a cradle and clothes, and asked the embroiderer to come to the mansion in person.

Xu Yuan basically did all these things herself, and she was never stingy with money.

Shen Yun'an and her mother-in-law were very satisfied with this and praised her for her concern for the child.

The doctor who took care of Madam Shen came to the mansion every few days.

On this day, Xu Yuan was holding the child in the yard to bask in the sun, and saw Cui Liu walking in quickly.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw that the little boy in Xu Yuan's arms was in a deep sleep, and her tone of voice involuntarily lowered a little.

"Madam, I have already found out some clues about the doctor."

After listening to Cui Liu's words, Xu Yuan got up and went into the house and gently placed the child in the cradle.

Then he said to Cui Liu, "Go on."

"The doctor's name is Jiang Yuan. He is a distant relative of the housekeeper. A year ago, the housekeeper recommended him to the mansion to treat the old lady because of his good medical skills. After these few days, I have obtained a lot of evidence about Jiang Yuan, which is enough to convict him even if it is handed over to the government."

"Did Jiang Yuan and the housekeeper work together to plot for money?"

"That's not the case." Cui Liu was stunned. "Jiang Yuan was very careful when he entered the mansion. Because he has been treating the old lady for the past year, he has won the trust of not only the old lady but also the marquis."

"If there is no evidence, then make it up."

Xu Yuan said slowly.

"Cui Liu, find a way to lead Jiang Yuan out of the mansion and take him around to the warehouse."

Cui Liu suddenly realized and understood Xu Yuan's intention.

It must be said that his wife's trick was really clever. Not only can she find Jiang Yuan's handle, but she can also expose the lack of dowry.

Cui Liu got excited thinking about it, and said to Xu Yuan quickly, "Madam, I will do it right away."

Xu Yuan nodded. She was not worried at all about Cui Liu's ability and means of doing things.

Since he wanted to use expensive medicinal materials to get her dowry, he would have to pay a price.

She wanted to see how Shen Yun'an would deal with it after this incident.

Speaking of which, the doctor had come to the Marquis's Mansion so many times, and the silver in the account was probably exhausted a long time ago. It was time for these people to make a move.

Just as Xu Yuan expected, the housekeeper came to her yard early the next morning.

Xu Yuan just came out with the child in her arms. When she saw the housekeeper, she was surprised and said, "Isn't this the housekeeper? I wonder what's the matter with you?"

The housekeeper smiled flatteringly when he saw Xu Yuan, holding a list in his hand.

"Madam, this is the medical fee expenditure when the doctor came to the mansion these days, and the silver for the medicinal materials that the old lady needs. Please take a look."

Xu Yuan just glanced at the things in the housekeeper's hand and responded softly.

Cui Liu came over at this time and said to Xu Yuan, "Madam, let me hold the little master."

"Okay."

Xu Yuan smiled and held the child in Cui Liu's arms. Seeing that the housekeeper was still standing there, he had no intention of paying attention.

She glanced at the sky and said softly, "The weather is good today, it's a good time to go for a walk in the back garden."

The housekeeper was stunned for a long time, and suddenly he was a little at a loss.

As usual, after hearing what he said, the lady would definitely ask him how much silver he needed, and then let someone make up the difference from the dowry, but why now... is she indifferent?

The housekeeper would not give up this opportunity, and followed Xu Yuan when he left.
