Chapter 40 Asking her to divorce

"This is not a reason for you to take it without consent."

Xu Yuan said coldly.

"Shen Yun'an, I have been married to the Marquis' Mansion for two years and I have done nothing wrong to your Shen family. Why are you even thinking about my dowry now?"

Xu Yuan asked angrily.

"Why bother telling him about Yuan'er, Shen Yun'an, I agreed to this marriage because I thought you would be good to Yuan'er, but I didn't expect you to be so daring to treat her like this!"

Xu Jing hurried over after learning that Shen Yun'an had sneaked into the mansion, but who would have thought that he would hear these words.

He quickly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to slap Shen Yun'an.

"A grown man dares to think about his wife's dowry, which is really contemptible." Xu Jing's tone was full of anger, "I will ask the emperor to cancel your engagement with Yuan'er."

"Shen Yun'an, you must know that my daughter, Xu Jing, does not have to be you!"

When Shen Yun'an heard that Xu Jing was going to ask the emperor to divorce him and Xu Yuan, he no longer cared about the pain caused by the slap, and the whole person looked flustered.

"Father-in-law, that's not the case."

Xu Jing snorted coldly, "Shen Yun'an, don't call me father-in-law, I can't bear it."

"You'd better understand, this is the Duke's Mansion, you dare to talk to Yuan'er like this here, I don't know how much grievance she suffered when she was in your Marquis' Mansion!"

He knew that Xu Yuan had other plans, so he didn't go to Shen Yun'an to settle the score immediately.

Otherwise, how could he have a good life.

But now he saw with his own eyes that Shen Yun'an was going to bully Xu Yuan, how could he tolerate it.

Xu Jing made up his mind that no matter what the result would be, he would never let Xu Yuan return to the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing that Xu Jing had no hope here, Shen Yun'an could only look at Xu Yuan with pleading eyes, "Madam, it was my husband's fault."

He took another step towards Xu Yuan, "Can you tell your father-in-law that my husband really can't live without you, Madam."

Facing Shen Yun'an's pleading, Xu Yuan's face did not change, and there was only indifference in his eyes.

Originally, she wanted to wait for Lu Rou to show up before making the next plan, but now maybe what her father said was not wrong.

Continuing to pester her would not bring any results.

"Yuan'er, don't talk too much to such a person."

When Xu Jing saw the guards rushing over, he said angrily, "What are you waiting for, get Shen Yun'an out!"

"Yes..."

With Xu Jing's order in front of him, the guards did not dare to hesitate to surround Shen Yun'an.

"My Lord, please leave the mansion now?"

Shen Yun'an knew very well that if he left now, there would be no room for maneuver in the matter of divorce.

As long as Xu Yuan could be stabilized, everything would turn around.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an's tone was a little anxious, "Madam."

"My Lord, please go back first."

Xu Yuan didn't want to have too much entanglement with Shen Yun'an, and turned his face away and said, "I will think about the matter of divorce."

Shen Yun'an's face turned pale instantly when he heard this. It stands to reason that he had already begged Xu Yuan so humbly, but she treated him like this in front of so many people.

Shen Yun'an was furious and felt humiliated.

After this incident, he would definitely find Xu Yuan to settle the score.

Xu Yuan happened to meet Shen Yun'an's eyes. With the experience of the previous life, she knew very well what Shen Yun'an was thinking now.

"Shen Yun'an, if you don't leave, I will have someone do it directly."

Xu Jing didn't want to listen to what Shen Yun'an said.

Shen Yun'an said to Xu Yuan unwillingly, "Madam, no matter what, you should think about Yi'er."

After hesitating for a long time, seeing that these guards were really going to take action, Shen Yun'an left the mansion.

"It seems that the wall of the mansion should be repaired again." Xu Jing said angrily.

"It's ridiculous for you to enter the mansion in this way after all, as you are a marquis!"

Shen Yun'an originally wanted to use the method of looking back every three steps to make Xu Yuan feel pity, but he happened to hear these words from Xu Jing.

He tightened his hands little by little, his eyes became fierce, he swore that one day he would make Xu Yuan and the entire Duke's Mansion pay the price.

Xu Yuan looked at the figure who suddenly stopped, curled the corners of his lips, and said to Xu Jing, "Father, the Marquis should hear you doing this."

Xu Jing was dismissive. If Shen Yun'an hadn't had him maneuvering around all these years, how could he have gotten to this point.

As for Shen Yun'an's position as Marquis, it was because of the Emperor's consideration for the Duke's Mansion.

Shen Yun'an was still unsatisfied, daring to treat his daughter like this, really thinking that he, the Duke, was easy to get along with.

Xu Jing said with disdain, "What if he heard it?"

"I just said it to him."

"Yuan'er, don't be afraid, your father is here for everything, and you will never be bullied again!"

"As for you and Shen Yun'an, since it was a mistake from the beginning, why continue, Yuan'er, I will go to the palace now to ask the emperor for a divorce."

Xu Yuan was a little worried about this, "Father, if you go like this, will the emperor agree?"

"I am a veteran who has experienced two dynasties after all, and the emperor will still give me this face. Even if he doesn't, your father will have other ways. Yuan'er doesn't have to worry."

Xu Jing comforted Xu Yuan.

"Father, I know you do this because you love your daughter, but it's too risky to do this, not to mention Yi'er and Shen Yun'an's concubine who is living outside. If some things are not resolved clearly, it may cause greater turmoil." Xu

Yuan said worriedly, she didn't want to cause unnecessary turmoil to the Duke's Mansion because of her own affairs.

"Then I, your father, cannot watch you being wronged."

Xu Jing's face was full of heartache. He could never watch his daughter being bullied like this.

"Father, do you believe me?" Xu Yuan asked Xu Jing.

"Of course." Xu Jing almost did not hesitate.

Hearing the answer, Xu Yuan smiled faintly at Xu Yuan, "In this case, father, let your daughter solve this matter by herself, okay?"

"My daughter and Shen Yun'an must divorce, but not now."

Xu Yuan spoke sincerely and said to Xu Jing seriously, "Please believe your daughter."

Xu Jing was stunned and was a little surprised when he met Xu Yuan's eyes.

He was silent for a long time, inexplicably feeling sad.

"It's just that, your father is worried that you are too tired."

"My daughter is not afraid." How could Xu Yuan not know that Xu Jing proposed divorce in front of Shen Yun'an to protect himself and to deter Shen Yun'an at the same time.

"Father."

"Forget it."

Under Xu Yuan's insistence, Xu Jing had to compromise.

"Yuan'er, since you have made your decision, your father will not interfere. But no matter what, you must remember to protect yourself."
