Chapter 34 Half a Month Not Back

"Miss, the little boy is here."

Cui Liu carried the child into the house and came to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan nodded and reached out to take it.

"It's been half a month since we came back."

Xu Yuan calculated the time and said to Cui Liu.

"Miss, are you worried about the situation in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Cui Liu seemed to think of something and asked Xu Yuan.

"Miss, I think the dowry and the Marquis have already written an IOU, why bother with those people."

Ever since the substitution, Cui Liu has been dissatisfied with these people in the Marquis' Mansion.

Her young lady is so good, even if she suffers in the end, she never says anything.

But even so, she still can't get the sincerity of these people.

Sometimes, she really doubts whether these people in the Marquis' Mansion have any heart.

"It's not that I'm bothered, but I just calculated that some people should be anxious when the time comes." Xu Yuan hooked his lips and said meaningfully.

Before leaving, she went to the warehouse to change the deeds and locks of the shops in the dowry.

In the previous life, the reason why these people were able to do so smoothly was not only because the housekeeper and the doctor deceived her with expensive medicinal materials, but also because they sneaked into the room where she locked the dowry to steal silver.

At that time, she noticed it, but Shen Yun'an said that he didn't want to make a big deal, so in the end, the matter could only be settled like this.

It was not until later that she knew that the initiator of all this was Shen Yun'an. He took advantage of her trust in him and didn't lock the dowry room, which gave these people an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Now, how could she give Shen Yun'an another chance.

The silver in the mansion had already run out. Not to mention the silver that Mrs. Shen needed for medical treatment, there were also the expenses of the servants and Lu Rou, who he kept outside.

Everything needed silver. Shen Yun'an, who wrote a promissory note of 40,000 taels, wanted to know how he would solve these problems.

In the Marquis's Mansion.

Just as Xu Yuan expected, Shen Yun'an was in a state of anxiety all day long.

I didn't realize that the expenses in this mansion and the expenses needed by Rou'er were so large before.

If it were before, he could still complain to Xu Yuan and ask Xu Yuan to take out the necessary silver from the dowry to fill the deficit in the mansion.

But now Xu Yuan has returned to the Duke's Mansion with the child, and the housekeeper's incident has just happened. Even if he wants to do this, he needs to have this opportunity.

"How is it, did you get the things?"

Seeing the guard coming back from outside, Shen Yun'an asked anxiously.

"My Lord, I just went to the warehouse and found that the room where the lady kept the dowry was locked. In this case, I can't get the things. "

The guard lowered his head and told Shen Yun'an what he saw.

"Locked?"

Shen Yun'an's expression changed when he heard this, and he had already noticed something unusual.

His face suddenly became gloomy, especially the irritability after not getting the silver.

"Explain to me clearly, who changed the lock of her room?"

Shen Yun'an almost angrily questioned the guard.

The guard was frightened by Shen Yun'an's momentum and trembled immediately.

"My Lord, this little... I don't know either, but there are patrolling guards around the warehouse. Otherwise, my Lord, you can call all those guards to ask them and maybe you will know who did all these things?"

Shen Yun'an's face calmed down a lot when he heard the guard's words.

He nodded and ordered the guard, "Go and pass on this Marquis's order, and find all the patrolling guards for me!"

He wanted to see who was so bold that he dared to lock the house without his consent.

The guards did not dare to hesitate and quickly found all the guards who had been guarding for the past few days.

At first, these guards were also unaware of the lock, until the last few were asked, and then some who knew came forward.

"My Lord, I remember that the lady went to the warehouse half a month ago, and the lock was put down by the lady."

"What?"

Shen Yun'an was shocked. He never thought that the person who did all these things was Xu Yuan.

This vicious woman actually left such a trick before returning to the Duke's Mansion. If this wasn't deliberately guarding against him, what else could it be.

The most important thing is that if it is Xu Yuanluo's lock, then he can't move the rest of the dowry, let alone destroy the lock by other means.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an was very annoyed.

"Why didn't you report such an important matter to me as soon as possible?"

Shen Yun'an said angrily, almost venting his anger on these people.

How dare these people present say anything else.

After a long time, a guard replied in a low voice, "My Lord, the lady said at the time that she locked her dowry."

Shen Yun'an clenched his fists, and was even more angry after hearing this explanation.

What a dowry.

He was really deceived by Xu Yuan!

Who would have thought that this vicious woman would be so scheming!

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an walked towards the yard where Xu Yuan was without any hesitation.

But when he saw the empty yard, Shen Yun'an was stunned.

"Where is the person?"

Shen Yun'an searched inside and outside the house. Not only was there no sign of Xu Yuan, but also the child and the maid named Cui Liu were gone.

Shen Yunan looked around and suddenly had a bad feeling.

Since he knew Xu Yuan had returned to the Duke's Mansion, he had no scruples and spent more time with Rou'er. He

really didn't pay much attention to Xu Yuan's affairs. Could it be...

Shen Yunan, who realized this, immediately called the guards guarding the gate of the mansion.

"My Lord, do you have any instructions?"

The guards who were called over looked confused, and seeing Shen Yunan's gloomy face, they had to ask carefully.

"I want to ask you, has the lady come back since the day she returned to the Duke's Mansion?"

The guard shook his head, "No, I didn't see the lady."

Shen Yunan's heart sank to the bottom when he heard this answer. It had been at least half a month.

This Xu Yuan is really brave. Even if he didn't come back, he should have sent someone to tell him, but now there is no news at all.

After hearing Shen Yunan call the guards patrolling the warehouse and the guards guarding the gate of the mansion over, Chun'er also followed secretly.

Who would have thought to hear such a thing?

No, she had to tell the old lady about it immediately.

Given the old lady's dislike for the mistress, if she knew that Xu Yuan had been away for half a month and had not returned, she would definitely not let this matter go. At that time, as long as she added a little fuel to the fire,

Xu Yuan's position as the mistress would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Chun'er hurried back to the courtyard of old lady Shen.

After informing her of the matter, old lady Shen immediately became anxious.

"This Xu family is simply too arrogant!"
