Chapter 157

Lu Rou looked in the direction of Xu Yuan, and a feeling of uneasiness spread in her heart.

Shen Yun'an's expression was even more solemn. This was the Marquis' Mansion, his territory, but Xu Yuan was so arrogant. This was undoubtedly a provocation to him.

He could not tolerate such a thing happening.

Soon two guards brought a woman to the front of several people. After seeing the face of this person clearly, Lu Rou was the first to speak with an incredible look, "Cui... Cui'er? Why are you here?"

Lu Rou looked at Cui'er, then looked at Xu Yuan. In just a moment, she understood what happened and said in a sad tone, "Cui'er, have you also been bribed by Xu Yuan since Liu'er?"

"Xu Yuan, I didn't expect you to do things to this extent."

Lu Rou was sad and angry, and questioned Xu Yuan, "Isn't Chun'er's matter enough, you still want to target me?"

While speaking, Lu Rou kept observing Shen Yun'an's expression with her peripheral vision.

Shen Yun'an's face was gloomy. He didn't care about a maid. What he cared about was that these two guards were not from the Marquis' Mansion.

If she had been hiding in the mansion from the beginning, why didn't she take action when the situation was obviously unfavorable to Xu Yuan in the house?

But she waited until now for the opportunity. Shen Yun'an looked at Xu Yuan and suddenly felt that the woman in front of him became extremely unfamiliar.

He had always thought that Xu Yuan was just relying on her family background to play vicious tricks, but now it seems that this is not the case.

In this regard, Shen Yun'an's eyes were also full of vigilance.

"Xu Yuan, why did you bring a maid here!" Shen Yun'an scolded Xu Yuan again.

"Do you think that having this maid can clear your suspicion?"

"No."

Xu Yuan's answer made Shen Yun'an's face much more relaxed. It was considered that this vicious woman had self-knowledge, but the next second, Xu Yuan said again, "But she can let you know the truth of the matter."

Old Madam Shen was relentless to Xu Yuan, "It's ridiculous. The truth is now very clear. You caused all the consequences."

"Xu Yuan, you, a vicious woman, must pay the price you deserve!"

Old Madam Shen scolded.

"My Lord, Madam, these things have nothing to do with my husband... Miss Xu." Cui'er wanted to call Xu Yuan "Madam", but she quickly changed her words when she realized the divorce.

Seeing Cui'er was about to continue, Lu Rou became anxious.

Although she didn't know how Cui'er escaped the hunters she sent out, Cui'er's existence was undoubtedly a fatal threat to her.

Before Cui'er could continue to speak, Lu Rou wanted to rush out and slap Cui'er in the face, and she even yelled and cursed, "Cui'er, I treated you well on weekdays, but I didn't expect that you would betray me in the end and help outsiders to frame me."

But before Lu Rou could get close, she was stopped by two guards.

"Please be respectful, my aunt."

One of the burly guards looked at Lu Rou coldly, with the sword in his hand ready to be unsheathed at any time.

Lu Rou knew that the guard was not from the mansion, and seeing the current situation, it was very likely that the other party would really take action.

She couldn't let herself be hurt again.

But there were two guards blocking her way. It was impossible for her to get close to Cui'er. The only thing she could do was...

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan turned to Shen Yun'an and Old Madam Shen and cried, "My Lord, Old Madam, don't believe Cui'er's words. She has been bribed by Xu Yuan and brought here just to say something unfavorable to me."

Shen Yun'an was about to defend Lu Rou, but before he could open his mouth, Xu Yuan's contemptuous voice came.

"Lu Rou, Cui'er hasn't finished her words yet, how do you know she is going to say something unfavorable to you?"

"It seems that you are confessing yourself."

Lu Rou's body stiffened, and Shen Yun'an's eyes became strange.

Seeing this, Lu Rou became more guilty and hurriedly explained to Shen Yun'an, "Brother Yun'an, please believe me." Shen Yun'an

did not speak. From Lu Rou's reactions, he was not unaware of the clues.

It's just that he had already torn his face with Xu Yuan. With the existence of the scroll, the divorce was already destined. If he now admitted that Xu Yuan had nothing to do with Liu'er and Chun'er's miscarriage, it would be a slap in his face.

It won't be long before he, a dignified Marquis, will become a laughing stock in the capital. Just thinking about this, Shen Yun'an found it hard to accept.

In response, Shen Yun'an comforted Lu Rou, "Don't be afraid, Rou'er, I believe you."

"Xu Yuan, no matter what evidence you produce today, it's just a desperate struggle."

"Today, you must be punished."

Shen Yun'an said firmly.

Xu Yuan sneered, "If that's the case, then we have nothing to talk about."

"Your Highness the Regent, you saw what happened just now. This Marquis Shen is unreasonable."

As Xu Yuan finished speaking, a man appeared in their sight.

Shen Yun'an's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw the man coming. No wonder Xu Yuan dared to be so fearless today. He didn't expect that His Highness the Regent would come with him.

You have to know that this prince is an existence that countless ministers in the court look up to and fear.

When did Xu Yuan have contact with the Regent?

Shen Yun'an suddenly discovered in horror that he knew too little about Xu Yuan.

He even had no idea what Xu Yuan had done in private.

But in addition to this prince, there was another person who made Shen Yun'an even more panicked.

It was Lord Zhang from the Dali Temple.

"Lord Zhang, since the evidence in the mansion is useless, you will have to take care of the next thing."

Ye Siyan's cold voice came, and the official called Lord Zhang cupped his hands and answered respectfully.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely find out the matter thoroughly."

"Come on, take her away!" The direction Lord Zhang pointed was Lu Rou's side. It

was not until the guards came to her that Lu Rou was completely panicked. She immediately asked Shen Yun'an for help.

"Brother Yun'an, I didn't do anything, please don't let them take me away."

Lu Rou knew very well that Cui'er would appear here, and was brought out by Xu Yuan.

It is very likely that what she did was told behind the scenes.

If she was taken away, it would be difficult for her to leave...

Shen Yun'an's face turned ugly. All his posts were suspended, and he only had the title of Marquis. He was naturally afraid of Lord Zhang, who was in charge of the Dali Temple.

Not to mention that there was also a Regent Prince, such an existence, he could not afford to offend.

But Lu Rou was taken away right under his nose, and their decision even completely ignored him.

This was also a humiliation for Shen Yun'an.

Shen Yun'an stood up and said to the official called Lord Zhang, "Lord Zhang, even if you want to investigate the case, shouldn't you take Xu Yuan away?"

"I have already found out that she was responsible for everything."
