Chapter 17 Seeking for Asylum

"Yun'an, what are you talking about? Do you think Chun'er is lying to you on purpose?"

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Yun'an with anger.

Seeing his mother so emotional, Shen Yun'an said quickly, "Don't be upset, mother. I just think this matter is a little strange. I will go to Xu Yuan tomorrow morning and ask about it."

Hearing this, Old Madam Shen's expression softened a lot.

Chun'er stood aside and listened quietly, thinking that the lady was dead now, and it was just right to avenge the last slap!

Shen Yun'an left Old Madam Shen's room and went to the housekeeper again.

When he saw his injuries, Shen Yun'an frowned and said, "How could he be injured like this!"

It should be said that Shen Yun'an was just angry when he heard Xu Yuan punishing the housekeeper before, but now he was really angry when he saw the situation.

I didn't expect Xu Yuan to be so cruel!

In the evening, Xu Yuan just coaxed the child to sleep when Cui Liu hurried in from outside. When she entered the house, Cui Liu walked lightly to Xu Yuan's side.

"Madam, I just heard that the old lady called the marquis back to the mansion, and then went to the housekeeper's yard. I'm afraid the situation is not good." Cui Liu looked at Xu Yuan with worry.

"It's okay."

Xu Yuan said. Since Shen Yun'an didn't come directly to her yard, it meant that he had concerns about these things.

"Cui Liu, you just need to do what I say, and leave the rest to me."

Xu Yuan ordered Cui Liu.

"I understand."

After Cui Liu left, Xu Yuan's eyes fell on the sleeping baby again. In the past, she would rather have less trouble than more. Even if she felt unfair, she didn't want to make Shen Yun'an embarrassed and chose to tolerate.

But she didn't expect that it was her tolerance that contributed to the arrogance of these people and harmed the people around her.

Shen Yun'an, I want to see what you will do when this happens to you!

Just as Xu Yuan thought, the next morning, Shen Yun'an came to her house angrily.

"My Lord, my wife is still resting, you can't go in." Cui Liu saw this and quickly blocked Shen Yun'an in front of him, not letting him get close to the house.

Shen Yun'an's face darkened instantly when he saw Cui Liu like this.

"Get out of the way! What's wrong with this Lord coming to see his wife?"

"If you continue to block me, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Xu Yuan, who was in the house, happened to hear Shen Yun'an's words, and said to Cui Liu outside, "Cui Liu, you step back first."

Cui Liu, who heard the voice, glanced in the direction of the house, and then turned and left.

Shen Yun'an snorted coldly, and only strode into the house after Cui Liu left, and

only showed a gentle smile on his face when he saw Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan felt that Shen Yun'an was very ironic when he saw him like this, and glanced at him calmly.

"My Lord, why are you here so anxiously?"

Facing Xu Yuan's indifference, Shen Yun'an was not annoyed. He took two steps forward and looked at the baby in the cradle, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Madam, I came to see you and Yi'er."

Shen Yun'an bent down and gently touched the baby's delicate face with his fingers.

"Yier, Daddy is here to see you, you must grow up quickly."

The baby lying in the cradle made a babbling sound, as if responding to Shen Yun'an's words.

Shen Yun'an was even happier about this, "Madam, you see Yi'er is really smart, he must have understood what I said."

"My Lord, Yi'er is only half a month old, what can he understand at this time."

Shen Yun'an disagreed, and was more convinced that this was a manifestation of his child's extraordinary talent.

Thinking of Lu Rou's crying child, and then looking at his own Yi'er, he had a completely distinct reaction to this.

Only his and Rou'er's children can be so smart.

Xu Yuansheng's is really far behind.

Thinking about it, Shen Yun'an glanced at Xu Yuan with his peripheral vision, and felt even more that the decision to switch the two children was not wrong.

Xu Yuan watched all this coldly.

"I thought the Marquis was here to call for punishment this time."

When Shen Yun'an heard Xu Yuan's words, he was obviously stunned, straightened up again, and looked at Xu Yuan with a complicated look.

"Madam, what are you talking about? It's just that the housekeeper has been in the Marquis's mansion for decades after all. You can punish him if you want to, but there must be a reason."

"Besides, he is also worried about his mother's medicinal materials."

"Does the Marquis mean that I should apologize to the housekeeper?" Xu Yuan met Shen Yun'an's eyes and asked back.

Shen Yun'an's expression froze, and he obviously didn't expect Xu Yuan to say such a thing.

If it were before, Xu Yuan would have begun to reflect on his own mistakes according to his words, but now he is questioning himself.

Shen Yun'an was dissatisfied in his heart, but he knew that now was not the time to confront Xu Yuan, so his tone softened a little.

"It's just that you are in charge of the silver, Madam. If you don't have silver to buy medicine for mother's illness, it will only make her illness worse. Do you want to see her lying in bed in pain?"

Although Shen Yun'an was asking questions, his words were full of dissatisfaction with Xu Yuan's behavior.

"My Lord, do you know that the housekeeper wants five hundred taels?"

"Five hundred taels?" Shen Yun'an was shocked.

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "My Lord, I don't know what kind of medicine needs five hundred taels. These days I have also sent people to find out that ordinary doctors only need fifty taels to prescribe medicine for consultation."

"And this housekeeper asked for five hundred taels right away, and I have seen the list he sent. The medicines on it are all ordinary things, and they can be bought for only twenty taels." "

And this situation is not the first time it has happened. My mother-in-law's illness has not shown any signs of recovery for a year. I think someone must be cheating here. Silver is a small matter, and my mother-in-law's safety is the real thing."

"There is such a thing!"

Shen Yun'an also heard the meaning of Xu Yuan's words.

"Madam, do you suspect that these things are related to the housekeeper?"

"He is an old man in the mansion and should not do these things."

"That may not be the case."

Xu Yuan interrupted Shen Yun'an in a cold voice. She came to the desk and handed over the account book that had been prepared long ago.

"My Lord, you might as well take a look at these."

Looking at the account book handed over by Xu Yuan, Shen Yun'an vaguely felt that something was wrong. He did not reach out to take it directly, but asked hesitantly, "What is this?" "

The account book."

Seeing that Shen Yun'an began to pretend to be confused, Xu Yuan said directly.

"The account book for the past two years."

"My Lord, don't you want silver? Just look at the contents above and you will know."

Shen Yun'an reached out to take it. There was no problem with the account book at the beginning, but at the end, he frowned and his expression gradually became serious.

"Why is the content at the end empty?"

"Madam, you are in charge of the affairs of the mansion, how could you make such a mistake?"

He finally understood why Xu Yuan showed him the account book first. It turned out that he had done something wrong and wanted to seek protection!
