Chapter 25 Madam is still amazing

"My Lord?"

Xu Yuan's voice pulled Shen Yun'an back from his thoughts.

When he met Xu Yuan's eyes, Shen Yun'an felt a little complicated. He smiled and said to Xu Yuan, "I came to see you and Yi'er."

As Shen Yun'an spoke, his eyes fell on Cui Liu, and his brows frowned unconsciously.

"Cui Liu, you leave first."

Xu Yuan, who noticed Shen Yun'an's gaze, ordered.

Shen Yun'an was about to say something when Xu Yuan asked first, "Tomorrow is the three-day deadline. How does the Marquis plan to deal with the housekeeper and Jiang Yuan?"

"I have sent the housekeeper and Jiang Yuan to the government."

Xu Yuan nodded, "What about the dowry that was swallowed?"

"What...what?"

Seeing Shen Yun'an's stunned look, Xu Yuan was surprised, "The Marquis would not send someone to the government without asking how much dowry was left. That's not a small amount."

"I've calculated that the prescriptions from my mother-in-law alone are at most 10,000 taels. What does the Marquis plan to do with the remaining 40,000 taels?"

Shen Yun'an frowned, obviously not expecting Xu Yuan to suddenly ask about this.

He asked Xu Yuan with a little displeasure, "Madam, are you blaming me?"

Xu Yuan couldn't help but laugh. It was like this in the past. Whenever Shen Yun'an encountered something that was not good for him, he would put on a disappointed look.

It was as if everyone owed him something. In her previous life, she was willing to tolerate it because she cared, but now Shen Yun'an's actions only made her feel disgusted.

She met Shen Yun'an's eyes, without any emotional fluctuations, "It's not strange or not, I'm just solving the problem."

"The Marquis should understand my father's temper. If there is no result by tomorrow at the latest, he will really make a fuss to the Dali Temple or even the emperor."

Xu Yuan pretended to be worried, "Marquis, I'm doing this for your reputation."

Shen Yun'an tried to refute something, but felt that Xu Yuan was reasonable to some extent.

Those people don't care about the truth, they only associate everything with him.

Shen Yun'an lowered his eyes. He finally sat firmly in the position of the Marquis, and he couldn't let these rumors ruin it.

But it happened that regarding the remaining dowry... Shen Yun'an thought of the words of the housekeeper when he interrogated him yesterday.

Not only did he spend it himself, but he also gave it to his mother, and even he had a share, even though he didn't know about those things.

Shen Yun'an showed an embarrassed expression, "Madam, the remaining silver has been spent by the housekeeper."

Xu Yuan had expected such a result. If she hadn't known about the things in her previous life and knew that these people were ambitious, she would not be able to keep even the remaining 50,000 taels.

Even if Shen Yun'an didn't know about it at first, his embarrassment after knowing the truth is nothing more than the struggle of a vested interest.

He doesn't deserve sympathy at all.

Xu Yuan curled his lips, but saw Shen Yun'an looking at him with expectant eyes.

Did he want him to keep quiet like before?

Xu Yuan was surprised and sighed helplessly, "In this case, I can only report the matter to my father truthfully."

"As for what happens next, we can only leave it to fate."

"No!" Shen Yun'an was completely panicked, and was shocked that Xu Yuan did not cover up the matter as he expected. Was

n't she always easy to talk to? As long as he had difficulties, she would spare no effort to find a solution, but why did she change now?

Shen Yun'an stared at Xu Yuan, trying to see if there was any difference.

It's a pity that Xu Yuan's face showed no other expression except helplessness.

Once the news of the dowry got out, and his father-in-law's temper, even the emperor dared to speak frankly and let him know, Shen Yun'an shuddered, the consequences were simply unimaginable.

"Madam, this matter is a scandal in the mansion after all, why let outsiders know."

Xu Yuan remained calm, "Marquis, my father is not an outsider."

"Yes, but Madam, have you ever thought about what outsiders will think if this matter gets out?

" "That's why I asked the Marquis what he plans to do?"

Shen Yun'an: "..."

Why did he feel that he had been confused.

Looking at Xu Yuan's stubborn look, Shen Yun'an was annoyed.

He understood that if he couldn't come up with a reasonable solution today, Xu Yuan would not give up.

But...

Shen Yun'an took a deep breath, trying to suppress his anger, thinking that if it was Lu Rou facing him.

His Rou'er would never be as unreasonable as Xu Yuan.

"My Lord, there is actually another way to resolve this matter."

Shen Yun'an's eyes lit up, and he asked quickly, "Madam, you tell me."

"After all, the housekeeper is a member of the mansion. If the Marquis is willing to come forward and make up the money, my father will definitely be moved when he knows about it."

Hearing Xu Yuan's proposal, Shen Yun'an's face suddenly changed. The mansion's accounts were so empty that he needed to take out a part of his salary to win over officials, and more of it would be sent to Rou'er.

No matter who was wronged, he couldn't let his Rou'er suffer.

But Xu Yuan did this, just to take out the money himself.

"Madam, you know my situation. Where can I get 40,000 taels of silver in a short time?"

Shen Yun'an said distressedly.

"Madam, we are family after all."

"It is precisely because we are family that I give advice to the Marquis."

Seeing that Shen Yun'an was about to say his great truth again, Xu Yuan replied indifferently.

Shen Yun'an opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

"My Lord, you can write an IOU first, and then pay it back when you have it."

"IOU?!"

Shen Yun'an stared at Xu Yuan with wide eyes in disbelief. He

hated Xu Yuan's words and deeds in his heart.

"Madam, do you know what you are talking about?"

Xu Yuan was puzzled and asked Shen Yun'an in a rhetorical tone, "My Lord, don't you want to solve the problem and want to make it bigger?"

"You..."

Shen Yun'an was furious and resentful.

"Let me think about this matter."

After Shen Yun'an said this, he felt that the woman in front of him was more and more annoying, and strode away with his sleeves.

Cui Liu stood outside the courtyard and heard the conversation inside. She was shocked and admired her wife more and more.

In this matter, my wife is still the best!

Even without watching, you can imagine the furious look of the Marquis.

Since my wife married into the Marquis's mansion, she has been dedicated to everyone in the mansion, but she didn't expect to suffer such a calculation. It's so hateful!

After hearing that there was no movement inside, Cui Liu couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Damn!

Would the Marquis do something to hurt his wife in anger?

When Cui Liu was thinking about whether to go into the house, she saw Shen Yun'an coming out.

Shen Yun'an saw Cui Liu standing there, his face gloomy, "You are such a loyal servant, you dare to do anything?"

Cui Liu was immediately alert, thinking that the Marquis must have some doubts about the warehouse.
