Chapter 31 The Situation is Uncertain

At this point, Xu Jing couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"No." Xu Yuan replied, "I later swapped the child when they were not paying attention, and the biggest difference between Yi'er and the concubine's child is that there is a small mole behind the left ear."

After hearing this, Xu Jing hurried to check, and then he was completely relieved.

He let out a long sigh, "She is worthy of being my daughter, well done."

If his grandson was really in the hands of that concubine, he would get it back even if he risked his life.

"Yuan'er, I will go to the palace now to ask the emperor to issue a divorce letter."

Xu Jing said angrily. In order to highlight the identity of his daughter and to warn Shen Yun'an, the marriage contract was granted by the emperor himself.

Now the divorce also needs the emperor's consent.

"No." Xu Yuan hurriedly stopped him.

Xu Jing was surprised for a moment, and looked at Xu Yuan with confusion, "Why is this?"

"Yuan'er, Shen Yun'an is ruthless and ungrateful. Do you still have thoughts about him?"

"Father, if you enter the palace now, the emperor will definitely ask the reason. Now Shen Yun'an's status has reached the level of a marquis, not to mention that he has other people helping him behind the scenes."

"If the emperor agrees, it's fine, but if he doesn't agree, delaying this matter will be tantamount to alerting the enemy."

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes, "The most important thing is that Yi'er is not Shen Yun'an's blood."

After hesitating, Xu Yuan still said this.

Now she knows that these are completely attributed to her past life experience, but these things are too bizarre, and how many people will believe it if she tells it out.

She doesn't want Xu Jing to take this risk for her.

When Xu Jing heard Xu Yuan talk about his body's life experience, he was shocked and speechless. He held the child in his arms and was stunned for a long time before slowly spitting out a few words, "Then do you know who the child's biological father is?"

Xu Yuan shook her head. She only knew that the man that night was wearing a mask.

As for more clues, he just couldn't remember them.

"Father..." Xu Yuan lowered his head, his tone full of guilt.

"It's my daughter who has caused you trouble."

Seeing Xu Yuan like this, Xu Jing couldn't help but feel distressed.

"What do you mean by trouble, Yuan'er? It's because I failed to protect you."

If he could have discovered what Shen Yun'an had done earlier, he would never have allowed such a thing to happen.

His daughter wouldn't have suffered such grievances.

Under Xu Yuan's gaze, Xu Jing replied, "I won't go, but even if we don't get a divorce, I can't go back to the Marquis' Mansion."

"Father, if I don't go back, how can I let them regret it after knowing the truth."

Xu Yuan's eyes were cold and frosty.

The sins owed by Shen Yun'an, Lu Rou and the Marquis' Mansion cannot be solved by a divorce. That would be too easy for them.

Hearing Xu Yuan say this, Xu Jing was a little surprised and suddenly felt that there was something different about his daughter.

Maybe...

Xu Jing pondered for a moment and asked Xu Yuan, "Yuan'er, what are you going to do?"

At this point, Xu Yuan had nothing to hide and briefly explained his plan.

Xu Jing, however, looked worried, "Yuan'er, you are taking too much risk by doing this."

"Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if Shen Yun'an and the people behind him reacted one day? At that time, Yi'er and you would be in danger."

"Father, I'm not afraid."

Xu Yuan's eyes were firm. She knew that her father was worried about her, but in her new life, she didn't need blind protection from others.

"No, let me think about this first."

Xu Jing did not directly agree with Xu Yuan's plans.

"Yuan'er, anyway, now that you are back, you should stay in the mansion for a few months. You have just given birth and you have been running around. If you don't take good care of yourself now, what will happen if you get sick?"

Under Xu Jing's insistence, Xu Yuan could only agree to stay in the mansion for a month first, just so that she could have more time with Yi'er while she could be quiet.

Xu Jing was relieved to see Xu Yuan finally agreed, and immediately asked someone to invite an experienced wet nurse to the mansion.

"Father, leave Yi'er to me."

Xu Yuan was about to get up and leave the study, but noticed that the child was still in Xu Jing's arms, so he reached out to take it.

"No problem."

"My little grandson doesn't cry or make a fuss. You go back and have a good rest first. I'll bring Yi'er over later when the wet nurse comes into the mansion."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan nodded and said nothing more.

"Cui Liu, help your master go back to the room to rest." Cui Liu,

who was waiting outside the courtyard, heard Xu Jing's voice and hurriedly stepped forward. At this time, the door of the study was opened and Xu Yuan walked out.

"Madam, you..." Cui Liu saw that Xu Yuan's eyes were red, obviously as if she had just cried, and even her face was a little pale, and her heart couldn't help but lift.

"I'm fine."

Xu Yuan raised her eyes and met Cui Liu's worried eyes, revealing a faint smile.

At least she had made some things clear when she returned to the mansion this time.

"Madam."

Cui Liu wanted to say something, but Xu Yuan said, "Cui Liu, you don't have to call me Madam when we are alone in the future. Just call me Miss as before."

"Yes! Miss."

Cui Liu's face was happy. Just now she thought that her young lady was sad about what happened in the Marquis' Mansion. Now she was relieved.

"Does the master know about the young lady's dowry?"

Cui Liu suddenly asked Xu Yuan when she thought of this.

Xu Yuan nodded, "In fact, there is no three-day deadline. I just made it up to give Shen Yun'an a sense of urgency."

Given the situation at that time, if her father really knew about it, he would have rushed to the Marquis' Mansion with his temper. It would not be as simple as sending a letter.

Cui Liu opened her eyes wide and looked at Xu Yuan with more admiration.

"Miss, you are so amazing. In this way, the Marquis will have to think carefully before he dares to come up with such an idea in the future."

Xu Yuan nodded. Now she held the IOU of 40,000 taels written by Shen Yun'an. As long as she got other evidence from it, she could catch these people off guard when Lu Rou appeared.

Inside the Marquis' Mansion.

Chun'er and her men sneaked into Xu Yuan's house, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find what the Marquis wanted.

Helplessly, she could only leave first, but she didn't walk far before she saw a figure standing there.

"Chun'er, how about what the Marquis told you to do?"

Shen Yun'an asked Chun'er with a gloomy face.

Chun'er lowered her head, not daring to look at Shen Yun'an's face, and answered carefully, "Marquis, I brought people to search the Madam's house and didn't find the note you mentioned."

"No?" Shen Yun'an hesitated. Logically, Xu Yuan should have hidden the IOU in the house.

But why can't he find it now?

There must be something fishy.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you sure you have searched everywhere?"
