Chapter 49 How is she now?
Chapter 49 How is she now?
Didn't the Madam bring the young master back to the Duke's Mansion? But the old lady is saying these ambiguous words again.
Could it be that there are other children besides the young master?
Chun'er's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that she had discovered some huge secret.
Her intuition told her that this matter must be related to the woman surnamed Lu.
The Madam is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. She knows that her status is different and cannot be compared, but why did other people enter the mansion first?
She must find out the truth behind it.
Inside the house.
Madam Shen was not reassured by Shen Yun'an's comfort, "Yun'an, tell me the truth about Xu Yuan's divorce from you. Is it true?"
"Now the matter is spreading like wildfire. If you make a decision, you must never let Xu take Yi'er and the dowry away!"
"After all, it was Xu who wronged you first, and you don't need to be polite to her!"
Madam Shen was full of anger when she mentioned Xu Yuan.
"It's better to divorce, so that I don't have to be angry every day."
Hearing his mother's dissatisfaction, Shen Yun'an was helpless and full of apologies.
If possible, he also wanted to divorce Xu Yuan, but he could do it at any time, except now.
Since that day, Xu Jing had a clear tendency to be his enemy in the court, and those ministers in the court were used to changing things according to the wind.
In addition to being the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, he was also recently conferred the title of Marquis, and there were countless eyes watching him from behind.
Without the relationship with the Duke's Mansion, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in the court.
Even though he knew that his mother was dissatisfied, Shen Yun'an still said, "Mother, your son will not divorce Xu Yuan now."
"In this case, let her return home quickly. It's been a month. How long will it take for her to be in confinement? I was busy all day when I gave birth to you."
"And my dear grandson Yi'er, it's been so long, and Xu is a reckless person. I don't know if she has developed any problems."
Old Lady Shen secretly decided that when Xu Yuan brought the child back this time, she would bring the child to her side and not let Xu Yuan get close to her at all.
"Don't worry, mother. I will go to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow and will definitely bring them back."
When Old Lady Shen heard her son say this, her expression was much more relaxed.
Inside the Duke's Mansion.
"Miss, I heard from the guards guarding the door that the Marquis will come to the mansion every day these days."
Cui Liu walked in with a bowl of bird's nest.
Xu Yuan nodded. She was not surprised by this. The Duke's Mansion is not in decline now. Marquis Shen Yun'an was originally conferred by the emperor for her father's face.
Once he left the Duke's Mansion, the so-called Marquis was just a false name. How could Shen Yun'an let this happen?
"Miss, I think you don't have to respond to the master's words. Why do you have to suffer the anger of the old lady and the Marquis?"
Thinking of her young lady's efforts for the Marquis' Mansion in the past two years, Cui Liu felt it was not worth it.
"Wait a little longer."
Xu Yuan replied.
"I will definitely not stay in the Marquis' Mansion for a long time, but if I leave now, it will be a bargain for them, not to mention Yi'er."
Even though she held the evidence that Shen Yun'an and Lu Rou wanted to swap her child.
But Yier's life experience is the most important.
The biological father of the child is unknown, and when all the truth is revealed, Shen Yun'an may find a handle on him.
Her Yier will definitely have a bright future, and must not be criticized by others.
"Cui Liu, if you are worried, you can stay in the Duke's Mansion."
Xu Yuan looked at Cui Liu, thinking of Cui Liu in the previous life who died to protect herself, maybe letting her stay in the Duke's Mansion would be the safest place.
Cui Liu was anxious after hearing this, "Miss, you dislike me."
"I just feel sorry for you, and I have never been afraid. Please keep me by your side." Cui Liu's eyes were red and her voice became hurried.
The Marquis' Mansion is a den of wolves. She knew that her power was too small, but at least as long as she was by the young lady's side and watched her safety, it was enough.
"Miss... please don't drive me away."
Cui Liu's voice was already crying.
"I have been with you since I was a child. No matter there are mountains of swords or seas of fire ahead, I am not afraid."
Xu Yuan saw Cui Liu was about to kneel on the ground, so he pulled her up from the ground and sighed helplessly, "I don't mean to drive you away, but..."
"Cui Liu, what if I say that you will die if you stay with me?"
Xu Yuan looked at Cui Liu and asked after a long silence.
"I am not afraid." Cui Liu's face was not at all flustered.
"Miss, if this is true, it must be because I did not protect you properly."
"That ending is what I deserve."
Cui Liu's eyes were firm, and she answered Xu Yuan's words in an extremely serious tone.
"Please let me stay with you."
"Okay." Xu Yuan nodded.
In her new life, she had changed a lot of things unconsciously.
How could she change the things she had decided? She was not qualified to make decisions for others.
"Cui Liu, I will protect you this time."
Xu Yuan said.
Cui Liu was deeply moved. Although she didn't know what her young lady had experienced, she could only rely on her young lady's words.
If she died, it must be because the young lady was in danger.
As a slave, from the moment she saw the young lady, her life was no longer her own.
If there really was such a day, she hoped to do the last thing a slave should do for the young lady.
Instead of just watching and being unable to do anything.
Cui Liu looked at Xu Yuan and responded to her words just now.
"Young lady, I will protect you well."
Xu Yuan felt a pang in her heart.
"Good Cui Liu, I am lucky to have you by my side."
...
Early the next morning.
Shen Yun'an came to the outside of the Duke's Mansion. The guards saw the visitor and were a little helpless.
"My Lord, you should go back. The young lady will not see you."
Shen Yun'an looked at the surrounding walls again. After climbing over the wall last time, the walls of the Duke's Mansion were much higher, and sharp objects were placed on them.
Even if he used Qinggong, there was no chance to get in.
It seemed that his father-in-law was determined not to let him see Xu Yuan.
But the more so, the more unwilling Shen Yun'an felt.
In order to marry Xu Yuan, he had spent a lot of money, even secretly hiding his beloved Rou'er.
Now he got nothing and let Xu Yuan go.
Shen Yun'an clenched his fists. This was definitely not what he wanted.
When Shen Yun'an was angry, he heard the servant who followed him said, "My Lord, look, isn't that Miss Cuiliu who is beside the Madam?"
Shen Yun'an looked into the mansion in the direction the servant pointed, and indeed saw Cuiliu coming towards this side.
"Miss Cuiliu!" the servant shouted loudly in that direction.
Cuiliu looked at the servant who was shouting loudly, and couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Her young lady was really good at predicting things, and she calculated that the Marquis would appear in the Duke's Mansion at this time.
"Cuiliu, how is the Madam now?"
When Shen Yun'an saw Cuiliu, his frown also relaxed.
