Chapter 38 Bring Them to Me
Chapter 38 Find them for me,
but I didn't know that this news would soon reach Xu Yuan's ears.
"Miss, how can the Marquis hand over the power of the backyard to Chun'er, won't everything be messed up?"
Cui Liu was a little anxious for a moment.
"Just hand it over." Xu Yuan didn't care about it.
The situation in the mansion was already a mess, and she was more than happy to have someone willing to take over. Moreover, sometimes when one's ambition is too big, it will not be easily satisfied in the future.
What Xu Yuan didn't expect was that Shen Yun'an would actually set his sights on the shop.
This move was her negligence.
Xu Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she stood up and took out the title deed she brought out of the mansion.
Cui Liu was a little surprised when she saw this, "Madam, this is not the title deed of the restaurant and the jewelry store, why did you bring it out?"
"You will pawn these two titles tomorrow."
Xu Yuan ordered Cui Liu.
"By the way, let's go to the government. Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Liu are considered to be stealing for giving out silver without my consent."
"I think the government will know how to deal with these things."
Cui Liu understood her young lady's intention in an instant. She was still worried about what to do just now, but she didn't expect her young lady to come up with an idea so quickly.
In this way, it will be difficult for the Marquis to get benefits from the shop.
The next morning, Cui Liu pawned the deeds of the two shops together as Xu Yuan said. When Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Liu heard the news, they felt that a disaster was coming.
The two just got together and wanted to find Xu Yuan to ask the reason, but they saw the government officials coming soon.
Cui Liu looked at this scene and thought to herself that it was what she deserved. She quickly returned to the Duke's Mansion and told Xu Yuan about this.
"Miss, these are 40,000 taels of silver notes sold by the two shops. Please take a look."
Cui Liu came to Xu Yuan with a thick stack of silver notes.
Xu Yuan glanced at the banknotes and nodded slightly. She looked around the yard and found it strange that the nanny and the maid were not here.
Normally, even if the nanny took the child out to the back garden for a walk, she would be back in less than half an hour, but why was she not seen for almost an hour today?
Xu Yuan was puzzled and felt a little uneasy when she thought of the child.
Just when she was about to send Cui Liu to check, she heard a hearty laugh not far away.
"Miss, it's the master who is back with the little master."
Seeing who was coming, Cui Liu pointed in that direction and said to Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan nodded and walked towards Xu Jing.
"Yuan'er, why are you up?" Xu Jing, who was teasing his little grandson, saw Xu Yuan standing there and couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Cui Liu, help your young lady into the house."
Xu Yuan smiled and said to Xu Jing, "Father, I am fine now, you don't need to worry about your daughter's health."
"You."
Seeing Xu Yuan insisted, Xu Jing didn't know what to say.
"Yuan'er, no matter what, your body is yours. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me."
Xu Jing was worried.
Xu Yuan nodded. She looked at the child in Xu Jing's arms, and her eyes softened.
"Father, let the nurse take Yi'er into the house."
Although Xu Jing was reluctant, he could see that the little grandson in his arms had fallen asleep peacefully, so he could only let the nurse take over.
When his eyes fell on the silver bills in Cuiliu's hand, he was a little surprised.
"Yuan'er, what are these silver bills...?" It was not
until the nurse brought the child into the house that Xu Jing asked Xu Yuan.
"Today I asked Cuiliu to pawn the two shops."
Hearing this, Xu Jing became more confused, and his words were full of confusion.
"Why is this? Yuan'er, do you know that the jewelry store and the restaurant are my dowry to you, how can they be pawned so easily?"
"Yuan'er, tell me if you have encountered any difficulties. If you are short of silver, I have it here."
Xu Jing immediately realized that something was unusual.
Xu Yuan shook his head, "That's not the case."
"Master, you don't know that it was the Marquis who secretly took five thousand taels from the two shops. To prevent this from happening again, the young lady decided to pawn the two shops together."
"There is such a thing!" Xu Jing said angrily.
"This Shen Yun'an, if I had known, I shouldn't have let him leave so easily last time!"
Xu Yuan was a little surprised when he heard this, "Father, Shen Yun'an has been here?"
Xu Jing nodded.
"Just a few days ago, he said he wanted to take you back, but I drove him out."
"Yuan'er, you should tell your father about this directly, and your father will handle it."
Selling the shop to prevent Shen Yun'an from using the money from the shop is really a loss for the greater good.
Xu Yuan didn't think so, and explained to Xu Jing, "Father, it's not the first time that the two shopkeepers have done this."
In the past, she took into account the situation in the mansion and was considerate of Shen Yun'an. Even if she knew about many things, she mostly turned a blind eye.
But she didn't expect that it was her behavior that made these people more unscrupulous.
According to her mother-in-law's concept, as long as something entered the Marquis's Mansion, no matter for what reason, it seemed to be Shen Yun'an's private property.
Instead of being fearlessly entangled with them on these matters, it is better to cut the Gordian knot.
Under Xu Jing's worried eyes, Xu Yuan said again, "Father, don't worry, your daughter has a way to solve this matter."
She knew that telling Xu Jing about the matter might make Shen Yun'an a little afraid.
But these are not long-term solutions.
"You."
Xu Jing listened to his daughter's words and felt a little distressed.
"Yuan'er, no matter what you do, you must not joke about your own safety. If you really encounter something that you can't solve, you must tell your father."
Xu Jing looked solemn and told Xu Yuan.
"Okay." Xu Yuan nodded.
"Father, don't worry, your daughter has remembered all these."
Xu Yuan smiled lightly at Xu Jing.
And Shen Yun'an had just received 5,000 taels, so he had no scruples about spending.
Within ten days, only one thousand taels were left out of the five thousand taels.
"You guys go to the shop again and ask them to prepare another five thousand taels."
Shen Yun'an immediately called the guards and ordered them, no longer hesitating in his words and actions.
"Yes."
The guard took the order and left quickly, but within half an hour, he hurried back with a panic on his face.
"My Lord, something bad has happened."
Hearing this, Shen Yun'an's heart skipped a beat, and he had an inexplicable bad premonition.
He suppressed his inner impetuousness and asked the guard who came back, "What happened?" "
When I arrived at the shop, I found that the shopkeeper had been replaced. After asking around, I learned that the shop was pawned."
Shen Yun'an's expression suddenly changed, and he continued to ask the guard, "Is it the same in both shops?"
"Yes..."
"Ridiculous! Go and find Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Liu for me!"
