Chapter 35: Not Allowed to Meet

"You... go and find Yun'an now."

Old Madam Shen was so angry that she was shaking all over, especially after she knew that Xu Yuan had taken away the only blood of their Shen family.

She must ask Xu Yuan for an explanation for this matter.

"Old Madam, calm down first. This matter..." Chun'er wanted to take the opportunity to instigate, but she couldn't help but panic when she saw that Old Madam Shen was shaking with anger.

As maids, if something happened to Old Madam Shen, they would be to blame.

At this time, Old Madam Shen didn't listen to these words. Seeing Chun'er still standing there unmoved, she immediately said angrily, "What are you still doing there, hurry up!"

"Yes..."

Shen Yun'an, who was thinking of a countermeasure, just asked the guards to leave, and heard the maid's report from outside.

"My Lord, the old lady asks you to go over."

Hearing this, Shen Yun'an frowned slightly and walked towards his mother's courtyard.

Old Madam Shen, who had been waiting there for a long time, saw Shen Yun'an and hurried forward. Before Shen Yun'an could speak, she said, "Yun'an, tell me, has Xu not been back for half a month?"

Shen Yun'an was a little surprised. He glanced at the people present and nodded under his mother's questioning.

"What about Yi'er, my little grandson?"

Old Madam Shen was immediately anxious and asked Shen Yun'an nervously.

"Yun'an, Yi'er is the blood of our Shen family. How could you let Xu Yuan not come back for half a month? What if Xu Yuan has any evil intentions?" "

No, mother, after all, Xu Yuan is Yi'er's mother. She will definitely not do anything to hurt the child."

Old Madam Shen was not at all relieved, but snorted coldly.

"That's not necessarily true! Yun'an, don't forget..."

"Mother!"

Seeing that her mother was about to tell the story, and there were other maids in the courtyard, Shen Yun'an interrupted her in a hurry.

After being reminded, Madam Shen knew that she had said something wrong, so she stopped talking, her brows were still furrowed.

"Yun'an, no matter what, you must bring my good grandson back to me."

Shen Yun'an nodded, "Don't worry, mother, I'm going to the Duke's Mansion now."

He also wanted to know what Xu Yuan was doing, how dare he lock up the dowry.

He simply didn't take him, the Marquis, seriously at all.

"Chun'er, take good care of the old lady. If there is any problem, I will hold you responsible!"

Shen Yun'an ordered forcefully, and after saying this, he turned around and left.

However, he was stopped by the two guards who were guarding the Duke's Mansion before he could enter.

The servant who came with Shen Yun'an saw Shen Yun'an's gloomy face and immediately said.

"Open your eyes and take a good look, my Marquis is the son-in-law of your Duke's Mansion!"

"You two dare to stop us? Get out of my way."

The two guards looked at each other, and after hearing the servant's words, they were not surprised at all, but just bowed their hands.

"It is precisely because he is the son-in-law that we cannot let him in."

"What?"

This time, without waiting for the servant to speak, Shen Yun'an asked the guard with a look of astonishment.

"Whose idea is this?"

"Xu Yuan or someone else."

Shen Yun'an soon realized that something was wrong. After all, he was still a marquis, and the two guards guarding the gate would never dare to say such a thing.

"It was me."

Someone reported this when Shen Yun'an appeared in front of the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

Xu Jing's face was gloomy, and he strode towards this side, looking at Shen Yun'an with displeasure.

When he saw the face of the person clearly, Shen Yun'an's eyes were full of disbelief.

He thought that Xu Yuan might have deliberately given the order to attract his attention, but he never thought of Xu Jing.

His father-in-law.

Thinking of what happened some time ago, Shen Yun'an couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He asked Xu Jing tentatively, "Father-in-law, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Jing snorted coldly, "Shen Yun'an, shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"

"Yuan'er is my only daughter. I agreed to let her marry you, not to let her live a hard life with you!"

Whenever Xu Jing thought of what Xu Yuan said, his anger grew.

At this moment, he wished he could beat Shen Yun'an up and make him completely cut off ties with his daughter.

Shen Yun'an's heart skipped a beat, and his face turned pale at Xu Jing's angry shout.

Could it be that Xu Jing found out about the small dowry?

But he had clearly written the IOU for 40,000 taels as Xu Yuan said. Could it be that this vicious woman was deliberately acting in front of him?

When you return to the Duke's Mansion, will you complain to Xu Jing without leaving any room for him?

Shen Yunan looked at Xu Jing's gloomy face again. Even if this father-in-law didn't like him in the past, he would never ridicule him like this in front of others because of Xu Yuan.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunan felt that this matter was related to Xu Yuan.

Shen Yunan lowered his head, and his expression became more respectful.

"Please explain it clearly, father-in-law."

"Let me ask you, Yuan'er just gave birth not long ago. You knew that she was weak, why didn't you accompany her back?"

"Shen Yunan, is this what you said you would do to Yuan'er?"

Shen Yunan's heart was relieved after hearing this.

Fortunately, Xu Yuan was sensible and didn't make a big deal about the dowry, otherwise...

Shen Yunan hurriedly apologized to Xu Jing, "Father-in-law, you are teaching me that I was not thoughtful about this matter."

"I came here today to visit my father-in-law and take my wife back."

"Just visit." Xu Jing said with disdain.

"As for Yuan'er, she needs to be taken care of now. Please come back in half a month."

"Half... half a month later?"

Shen Yun'an was shocked.

It has been half a month since Xu Yuan left the Marquis' Mansion. If he delays for another half a month, not only will his mother's money, but also the money will be gone.

He is waiting to coax Xu Yuan like before, and let her take the initiative to take out the dowry.

His mother's illness and Rou'er's nutrition during confinement, these silver coins are urgent.

Seeing Shen Yun'an's hesitation, Xu Jing became even more angry, "Why, Shen Yun'an, do you want Yuan'er to go back with you now?"

"Little... I dare not."

Shen Yun'an was about to agree, but when he met Xu Jing's fierce eyes, he was forced to change his words.

"Father-in-law, can you let me see my wife and Yi'er."

"Yier is a young child. My wife needs to recuperate and will definitely not be able to take care of him. Can you let me take the child back?"

"Take it back?"

Xu Jing narrowed his eyes and scolded Shen Yun'an, "Shen Yun'an, don't think I don't know what you are up to."

"You should know better than anyone what you have done."

"If you say half a month, it means half a month!"

Xu Jing glared at Shen Yun'an fiercely and strode into the mansion.
