Chapter 39: Too

Much Bullying The guard who reported the incident was trembling with fear at Shen Yun'an's aura, and replied tremblingly, "Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Liu were taken away by the government for giving 5,000 taels without consent."

"Absurd!"

"That shop is a property under the name of the Marquis's Mansion. How could they be taken away for giving me silver? The government didn't even have this judgment?" Shen Yun'an frowned, obviously very angry about this matter.

"My Lord, I asked the government about this after the incident. The government said that although the shop is related to the Marquis's Mansion, it is the Madam's dowry."

"The person who reported to the government was the Madam."

"Xu Yuan?"

Shen Yun'an was shocked and didn't know how to react for a while. He asked why Xu Yuan locked the dowry before leaving the mansion, and she was playing tricks on him.

It was obvious that she was going against him!

Shen Yun'an clenched his fists. He must ask Xu Yuan about this matter clearly.

However, when he just arrived at the Duke's Mansion, he was stopped outside by the guards just like last time.

"Get out of the way!" Shen Yun'an's face was gloomy, and he was about to fight.

The two guards guarding the gate of the mansion saw Shen Yun'an like this and instantly became alert. They didn't want to offend Shen Yun'an too much, so they persuaded him kindly, "Son-in-law, it's not that we don't want to let you in, but the master has ordered that no one should disturb the young lady during her recuperation."

"This marquis is your young lady's husband!"

Shen Yun'an's face became more and more ugly, and he almost gritted his teeth and said.

"Even if it's like this, it's still the same."

Seeing that the atmosphere was deadlocked, the servant who came with Shen Yun'an hurriedly persuaded, "Marquis, why don't we go back first? It will be the same if you see the lady again in ten days."

Shen Yun'an looked at the time. He came here specifically to choose a time when Xu Jing was not in the mansion. If the stalemate continued, things might get out of hand.

He glanced at the walls around the Duke's Mansion, his eyes narrowed slightly. Since he was not allowed to go in, he might have other ways.

Today, he must see Xu Yuan no matter what.

The news that Shen Yun'an was blocked from coming to the mansion was soon known to Cui Liu.

Cui Liu realized that something was wrong, and immediately thought that the Marquis might know about the shop and come to question her.

No, she had to tell the young lady about this quickly so that she could be prepared.

Xu Yuan was holding the child. She had been living a very stable life these days. Whenever she saw the child, her heart was filled with satisfaction.

She suddenly thought of Xu Yao in her previous life. He had been crying since he was born, crying during the day and even more so at night. He never stopped for a moment, as if all his energy was spent on crying.

Others were not allowed to get close to him. She also spent a lot of energy on this matter. After finally growing up, he was often weak and sickly, and was particularly picky about food.

But her Yi'er was not like this. He was very well-behaved. Thinking of the torture he suffered from Lu Rou in his previous life, Xu Yuan owed him even more.

She would never let the things of her previous life happen again!

"Miss, something bad has happened."

While thinking, Cui Liu ran in from outside.

Seeing Cui Liu in such a hurry, Xu Yuan was a little puzzled and asked, "What happened to Cui Liu?"

"Miss, I just heard the guards guarding the gate say that the Marquis is here."

"Shen Yun'an?"

Xu Yuan frowned, "Then he..."

"But don't worry, Miss, the master has instructed before that no one is allowed to come in to disturb you, but I heard from the guards that the Marquis was very fierce at that time."

Xu Yuan understood instantly after hearing it, "Are you worried that he will find trouble with me after knowing about the shop?"

Cui Liu nodded, "Miss, no matter what, it's always right to be vigilant."

"I see."

Xu Yuan was calm about this. When she decided to lock up the dowry and pawn the shop, she expected Shen Yun'an to react like this.

But what can she do? Does she have to look at other people's faces for her things?

At this moment, there was a rustling sound outside the yard.

Cui Liu was alert instantly. No matter whether it was the maids or the guards in the mansion, they would never make such a noise, unless...

"Miss, you are here. I will go outside to take a look."

Cui Liu said as she walked out of the house, but she didn't expect that the person who appeared would be Shen Yun'an.

"Marquis... Marquis?" Cui Liu widened her eyes, feeling something was wrong. She raised her voice a few points and shouted towards the direction of the house, "Miss, the Marquis is here!"

Shen Yun'an just glanced at Cui Liu coldly and strode towards the house where Xu Yuan was.

Cui Liu anxiously blocked in front of Shen Yun'an and said that she would not let him in no matter what, "Marquis, my young lady is weak, you can't go in."

Shen Yun'an, who wanted to get the truth from Xu Yuan, didn't care about so much and shouted, "Get out! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

Xu Yuan, this vicious woman, dared to sell the shop behind his back. It was obvious that she was full of energy. Now she dared to make up an excuse of weakness.

I really think that he, the dignified Marquis, is easy to fool.

"Cui Liu, you leave first."

Xu Yuan winked at Cui Liu, and then asked Shen Yun'an, "My Lord, did you climb over the wall to get in?"

Shen Yun'an realized that Cui Liu was leaving and wanted to stop her, but she had disappeared.

His eyes had to fall on Xu Yuan again.

"Madam, what happened to the shop? Shouldn't you give me an explanation?" Shen Yun'an stared at Xu Yuan, as if she would not give up until she gave a reason today.

"Explanation?"

Xu Yuan found it ridiculous.

It seemed that she was really too gentle before, always thinking about taking a step back, which actually encouraged the ambitions of these people and attributed things that did not belong to them to themselves.

"My Lord, don't forget that the shop is the dowry I brought from the Duke's Mansion. Why should I explain to you?"

Xu Yuan asked Shen Yun'an with cold eyes.

When Shen Yun'an met Xu Yuan's eyes, he opened his mouth, but could not think of a reason to respond to Xu Yuan's words.

"My Lord, I would like to ask you why you took out five thousand taels without my consent. Did you not think about the consequences of doing so?"

Xu Yuan did not intend to give up, and continued to ask Shen Yun'an.

Shen Yun'an dodged, obviously knowing that he was not right in this matter, and could only say to Xu Yuan in a helpless tone, "Madam, you are not unaware of the situation in the mansion, and I can't do anything about it."

"As the mistress of the mansion, you have never thought about sharing the burden. I can't just ignore these things?"

Shen Yun'an said this, with a tone full of condemnation for Xu Yuan.

"Do you mean that I am wrong for not being able to continue to make up for it with my dowry?"

Xu Yuan only felt that it was very ironic, "I didn't expect that the Marquis has a lot of reasons."

Shen Yun'an was obviously irritated by Xu Yuan's contemptuous attitude.

He frowned and said coldly, "Madam, don't forget that I am your husband!
