Chapter 20 Denial

"Mother."

Shen Yun'an said. If possible, he also wanted to divorce Xu Yuan, so as to bring Rou'er into the mansion and make her the mistress.

But when he thought of the Duke's Mansion behind Xu Yuan, Shen Yun'an was deeply afraid.

"Forget it, I just said it casually, you know it in your heart."

Seeing Shen Yun'an like this, Mrs. Shen didn't want to embarrass her son too much.

At this time, Chun'er's voice came from outside.

"Madam, Marquis, the lady is here."

Hearing this, Shen Yun'an and Mrs. Shen changed their faces at the same time. They looked at each other and let Shen Yun'an speak first, "Let her in."

Chun'er reluctantly moved aside after receiving the order.

Entering the house, Mrs. Shen was about to make trouble when she saw the baby in Xu Yuan's arms, her eyes lit up instantly.

"Isn't this my good grandson!"

"Hurry up and bring him here for me to see."

Old Madam Shen said as she looked at Xu Yuan again. Perhaps she was a little afraid of what happened before and was worried that Xu Yuan would refuse again with something else.

But surprisingly, Xu Yuan just smiled and actually took the child to Old Madam Shen's arms.

The moment Old Madam Shen received the child, there was finally a smile on her face, and the way she looked at Xu Yuan also improved a lot.

Shen Yun'an was naturally happy to see this scene. While holding the child to Old Madam Shen, he came to Xu Yuan and whispered, "Madam, why are you here?"

"You just gave birth not long ago, so you should also pay attention to recuperation. You don't need to pay your respects."

Shen Yun'an's words were neither light nor heavy. Old Madam Shen just snorted after listening to these. She couldn't stand the good mood of having her precious grandson in her arms at this time, so she didn't say anything else.

"I heard that Doctor Jiang has been coming to the mansion to check my mother-in-law's pulse these two days, so I thought my mother-in-law's condition should have improved, so I brought Yi'er here."

"How is my mother-in-law feeling?"

"If you can bring my precious grandson here often, I will feel refreshed every day."

Xu Yuan naturally heard the ridicule in Mrs. Shen's words. She just smiled and didn't say much.

"Yun'an, look at how much this child's nose and eyes look like you."

Mrs. Shen was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Shen Yun'an nodded in response, and he was even more happy about the arrival of this child.

This is his and Rou'er's child.

"Mother, let me hold Yi'er." Shen Yun'an stretched out his hand and took the child from Mrs. Shen.

During this period, Xu Yuan had been raising the child by her side, and no one was allowed to get close except the maid next to her.

Even he, the child's father, could only take a look when he came to Xu Yuan's room. Now he finally had the opportunity to contact the child.

Xu Yuan watched this scene calmly, with more mockery in her eyes. No matter how she looked, she could not find any similarities between Yi'er and Shen Yun'an.

It was the small mole behind Yi'er's left ear that reminded Xu Yuan of the man she rescued that day. She

always felt that this man looked familiar, but she could not figure out where he looked familiar, as if she had forgotten something important.

Xu Yuan suppressed the confusion in her heart, and when she heard the hurried footsteps outside, the corners of her lips rose slightly.

After waiting for so long, it finally came.

"Madam, something is wrong!"

Cuiliu rushed into the yard anxiously. Just as she was about to enter the house, she was stopped by Chun'er who was guarding outside.

"What's the matter with you being so flustered? If you disturb the old lady, can you afford the responsibility?"

Chun'er knew that Cuiliu was someone close to Xu Yuan. Although she resented Xu Yuan for beating her, she was afraid of the other party's identity and did not dare to offend him openly.

But no matter how different Cuiliu was, she was the same as her in status, both of them were maids.

Cui Liu looked at Chun'er who had stopped her, and was thinking about whether to knock this man down directly when Xu Yuan came out of the house.

Seeing this, Cui Liu pushed Chun'er away and strode to Xu Yuan.

Shen Yun'an and Old Madam Shen, who was holding the child, also came out at this time. Their eyes fell on Cui Liu, and they obviously wanted to know what happened.

"Madam, there was an accident in the warehouse!"

The moment she heard this, Shen Yun'an stepped forward quickly without waiting for Xu Yuan to speak.

"Chun'er, explain the matter clearly, what happened?"

Ever since he promised to find out the truth in three days, Shen Yun'an has been worried about this matter. Everyone in the mansion knew that the warehouse was filled with Xu Yuan's dowry.

The promised matter has not been resolved yet, and this time something unexpected has happened again. Shen Yun'an can't help feeling upset.

"I heard from the patrolling guards that they caught a thief near the storehouse, and found a lot of silver and precious jewelry on him."

"There is such a thing?" Xu Yuan was surprised, "No wonder I felt that there was something wrong with the amount of dowry, and I didn't expect the thief to hide in the mansion."

"Come on, follow me to the storehouse!"

Shen Yun'an said angrily, "I want to see who is so bold!"

Old Lady Shen was holding the child, and she didn't expect such a thing to happen, but she followed them for safety.

Cuiliu looked at Xu Yuan and walked towards the storehouse.

Chun'er, who was pushed away, stumbled and just got up from the ground, she saw Cuiliu and Xu Yuan looking at each other.

There must be something fishy here.

Outside the storehouse.

When Shen Yun'an and his men hurried over, the thief had already been tied up with ropes. Looking at the silver and jewelry on the ground, Shen Yun'an said angrily, "You, a cunning slave, dared to cause trouble in the mansion!"

"My Lord, spare my life!"

Jiang Yuan was kicked to the ground by Shen Yun'an. Seeing that he was about to draw the sword held by the guard, he was so scared that he trembled all over and begged for mercy from Shen Yun'an.

Xu Yuan was surprised, "My Lord, isn't this the doctor Jiang who treated my mother-in-law? How could he be here and be caught by the thieves?"

"And..." Xu Yuan seemed to see something and opened his eyes wide in shock, "I clearly remember that the lock of this warehouse has always been good, how could it be gone?"

"No wonder so many strange things have happened in the mansion in the past year. It turns out that someone did it on purpose."

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and was very sad about this.

"Doctor Jiang, why are you here?"

After hearing what Xu Yuan said and seeing that the person tied up was indeed Jiang Yuan, Mrs. Shen showed a surprised expression on her face.

Then he said to the guards around him, "What are you waiting for, quickly untie the ropes on Doctor Jiang."

"No." Xu Yuan stopped her, "Mother-in-law, these silver coins were found on Doctor Jiang, so he must be related to the theft of the dowry."

"If we let him go now, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Doctor Jiang has been treating me for a year, I don't believe he would do such a thing!"
