Chapter 27 No Matter How Big

"I've thought about it." Shen Yun'an's expression was tense, and her gloomy face showed her displeasure at the moment.

"I'll write the IOU."

"Okay." Xu Yuan entered the room and brought the paper and pen that had been prepared long ago to Shen Yun'an.

"Please write it down, my lord."

Shen Yun'an was dumbfounded as he watched Xu Yuan's skilled movements, as if this woman had expected him to agree.

If he agreed verbally, he could still find a chance to fool around later, but if he signed a document, with it written in black and white, he couldn't shirk many things.

Shen Yun'an knew the seriousness of the written document, and asked Xu Yuan, "Madam, since I have already promised you, why do you have to go to this extent? Are you afraid that I will regret it?"

Xu Yuan's expression did not change, and he said slowly in the face of Shen Yun'an's anger, "My Lord, if I don't write a promissory note, how can my father believe it?"

"Because of the dowry, my father has been dissatisfied with me for not being vigilant in the letter. Do you want him to come to the house in person?"

"You..." Shen Yun'an paused, but he had no way to refute it. He cursed the housekeeper several times in his heart.

If it was just the housekeeper who did it, it would be fine, but he had to involve his mother and even himself.

This kind of thing can't stand up to scrutiny, otherwise it will only be his family's face that will be lost in the end.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an could only write the document as Xu Yuan asked, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart.

At the moment of signing his name, Shen Yun'an felt that he had never been so embarrassed, as if he would be inferior to Xu Yuan from then on.

He threw the pen aside and turned his face away, "Are you satisfied now?"

Seeing Shen Yun'an's expression of being forced by her, Xu Yuan sneered, "My Lord, it's not me who is satisfied, but you."

"What did you say?"

Shen Yun'an frowned, obviously provoked by Xu Yuan's words.

"What is the final cause of this matter, my Lord should know better than anyone else."

Xu Yuan said slowly, inadvertently tearing off Shen Yun'an's disguise, "My Lord wants to preserve the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion, and it is also a safe strategy for me to propose an IOU."

"My Lord, why do you have to pretend that I forced you, after all, the silver that was swallowed is..."

"Enough!"

Before Xu Yuan finished speaking, Shen Yun'an could no longer bear it.

His face flushed, and he said to Xu Yuan angrily with a sullen face, "Madam, I didn't expect you to be so meticulous in your calculations!"

"My mother is not in good health, and it was you who proposed to take out the dowry at the beginning. What's more, as the mistress, you didn't see any clues after a year?"

Shen Yun'an vented his dissatisfaction at this time.

"Even if you are pregnant, you don't have time to look at the account book when you have nothing to do. Xu Yuan, your behavior really makes this marquis feel disappointed!"

Shen Yun'an didn't give Xu Yuan a chance to speak. When he turned around, he saw the pen on the ground and stepped heavily on it.

The pen broke into two pieces instantly.

Cui Liu heard the noise outside, put Shen Yi in the crib, and came to Xu Yuan anxiously.

"Madam, you..." Cui Liu was worried, and seeing Xu Yuan's silent look, she felt even more distressed.

The matter of the dowry was originally the fault of the group of people in the Marquis' Mansion. How could the Marquis say such a thing!

"It's okay."

Xu Yuan said calmly. She had seen through Shen Yun'an's temperament a long time ago. She might have felt sad in the past, but now it is absolutely impossible.

With this IOU of 40,000 taels in hand, Shen Yun'an would have to think carefully if he wanted to continue to refuse in the future.

"Where is Yi'er?"

Seeing Cui Liu came out empty-handed, Xu Yuan asked.

"The young master has gone to bed."

Xu Yuan nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Cui Liu, "Go and get ready. We will return to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow."

Thinking of his father who loved him in his previous life, Xu Yuan's nose was sour. He had been back for so long, and it was time to meet him.

"Yes."

Cui Liu responded quickly. The news that

Xu Yuan was going back to the Duke's Mansion soon reached Old Lady Shen.

Old Lady Shen was just able to get out of bed, and she was very angry when she heard the news brought back by Chun'er.

"This Xu family just harmed the people in the mansion, and she wanted to take my good grandson back to the Duke's Mansion to hide away. It's so presumptuous!"

Chun'er was secretly delighted with Old Lady Shen's reaction. She knew very well that with her status as a maid, it would be difficult for her to be Xu Yuan's opponent.

But Old Lady Shen was different.

She was the mother of the Marquis, and even if Xu Yuan had great ability, she would not dare to do anything excessive, otherwise the reputation of this unfilial mother-in-law would spread and Xu Yuan would suffer.

"Madam, please calm down first. You are being reckless. What's more, the young master is only half a month old. What if he gets a cold?"

Chun'er comforted Madam Shen and made the matter more serious.

"Now the housekeeper has been sent to the government by the Marquis because of Madam's affairs. Madam is in charge of the accounts in the mansion. If a doctor is needed, I am afraid that Madam will..."

Chun'er kept observing Madam Shen's expression while speaking.

Madam Shen was furious. "It's not her turn to make the decision in this mansion!"

"No, I have to bring my little grandson back quickly. Sooner or later, something will happen to that child if he is raised by Xu Yuan."

Madam Shen was sick when she thought about her precious grandson being hurt because of Xu Yuan's recklessness. What's more

, the child was not Xu Yuan's.

Madam Shen thought of this and went to Xu Yuan's yard without caring about anything else.

Chun'er suddenly came up with an idea, "Madam, if you go there now, I'm afraid Madam won't agree to hand over the young master to you."

Madam Shen snorted coldly.

"I'm her mother-in-law. What's the use of her not agreeing?"

"But Madam, you forgot what happened during this period. The girl named Cui Liu beside Madam knows some martial arts. If things get out of hand and the young master is injured, wouldn't it be even worse?"

Madam Shen didn't care about Cui Liu, but when she heard that her precious grandson would be injured, she calmed down a little.

She looked at Chun'er and asked, "Then tell me, how can I bring my precious grandson here?" "

Madam, why don't you pick a time when Madam is not here? As long as the young master is here, Madam will have no choice even if she doesn't want to."

Madam Shen listened to Chun'er's words and immediately felt that it made sense.

She was also wondering what happened to Xu Yuan during this period. His temperament was completely different from before.

Especially the words he said, every word pierced her heart.

It was hateful to think about it.

Thinking about what Yun An had told her, even if Old Lady Shen was unhappy, she had to think more about her son and not have too intense a conflict with Xu Yuan.

Everything was for her precious grandson.

But thinking about this, Old Lady Shen was in trouble again
