Chapter 54 It seemed that someone had heard it .

"When did I say such a thing, Xu, don't just say it casually!"

Even if Old Lady Shen was angry, she knew that Xu Yuan must not know about the substitution, and her face was a little flustered.

"But just now..."

Xu Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Mother-in-law clearly said so."

She took another step closer to Old Lady Shen, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, "Mother-in-law, are you and the Marquis hiding something from me?"

"Xu, you are questioning me!"

"I am your mother-in-law!"

Old Lady Shen tried to suppress Xu Yuan with her momentum, but when she approached, her eyes still flickered and she felt inexplicably flustered.

Xu Yuan sneered and nodded in agreement, "It is precisely because you are my mother-in-law that I need to know the answer."

"You... hey... ouch."

Old Lady Shen was obviously panicked. Seeing Xu Yuan holding on to this matter tightly, she suddenly covered her chest and made a look of discomfort.

Chun'er ran in from outside and saw Old Madam Shen like this, and stepped forward anxiously, "Old Madam, how are you?"

"Madam, the doctor said that the old lady can't be stimulated anymore, why are you still..."

Chun'er's accusatory words stopped abruptly when she met Xu Yuan's eyes. For some reason, she felt a sense of fear in her heart.

"Chun'er, take me away from here quickly, Xu... No matter what, Yi'er has to be handed over to me to raise tomorrow."

Old Madam Shen left the courtyard with the help of Chun'er.

"Miss." Cuiliu stepped forward and looked at Xu Yuan with a worried face.

"It's okay." Xu Yuan replied. It was absolutely impossible to take the child away from her.

She just asked a few questions closely, and Old Madam Shen was so panicked. She really thought that others couldn't see the bad things these people did.

Cuiliu looked at Xu Yuan solemnly, "Madam, don't worry, I will stay by the side of the young master from today, and I will never let these people take advantage of it."

"Okay."

Looking at Cuiliu's firm eyes, Xu Yuan smiled.

"Madam, you are just back and you have such an attitude. It's too much."

Chun'er, who was helping Madam Shen back to the house, began to criticize Xu Yuan again.

Madam Shen snorted coldly. If she hadn't reacted in time, Xu Yuan would have really discovered the clues.

No, she still had to discuss this matter with Yun'an.

"Chun'er, go and see if Yun'an has come back. If you see him, ask him to come over and tell him that I have something to do with Yi'er."

Madam Shen urged Chun'er, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

"Yes." Seeing that Madam Shen was urging her, Chun'er didn't dare to delay.

It was already dark when Shen Yun'an returned home. If he wasn't worried that his mother would find out, why would he come back at this time.

At the moment, he still needed to take advantage of the power of the Duke's Mansion behind Xu Yuan, and he couldn't let Xu Yuan have a conflict with his mother.

His mother could still be coaxed, but if Xu Yuan returned to the Duke's Mansion again like before, then his three whips would really be in vain.

He must not let this happen.

"My Lord, the old lady wants you to come over."

Chun'er saw the light in the study and reported inside.

Shen Yun'an's face was gloomy. Even though he had been to a nearby clinic, the wound on his back was still very painful when slightly pulled. It

was not that he had not been whipped before, but it had never hurt so much.

"Go and tell my mother that it is getting late today. If there is anything, I will go over when I pay my respects tomorrow."

Shen Yun'an said to Chun'er outside.

Chun'er heard Shen Yun'an's unhappy tone and could only add, "My Lord, but the old lady said it was about the young master."

"The young master... are you talking about Yi'er?"

Shen Yun'an's face changed. If it was something else, he might not care, but Yi'er...

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an had to walk out of the study and go to the courtyard of old lady Shen.

Shen Yun'an came to his mother's courtyard, and the maid was quickly reported away. Chun'er saw that something was wrong. Thinking of the matter of the child mentioned by the two that day, now that the old lady mentioned the young master, there must be something strange.

Chun'er hid in a corner after leaving the house, wanting to see what was going on behind the scenes.

As long as she could grasp the key clues, she would be able to gain a firm foothold in the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

"Mother, you called me here at this time and mentioned what happened to Yi'er?"

It was not until she saw Shen Yun'an that Old Lady Shen became uneasy.

"Yun'an, you have to talk to Xu. I told her today that I wanted to bring Yi'er over to raise her, but she not only refused but also had a tough attitude."

"Tell me, I'm her mother-in-law, how can she talk to me like this."

"Just because of this?" Shen Yun'an asked, feeling a little tired for a while, "Mother, since Xu Yuan is willing to do it himself, why don't you worry about it?"

"The most important thing for you now is to get a good rest."

"Yun'an, I'm worried about this, you know Xu is not at all..."

"Mother!" Shen Yun'an interrupted his mother hurriedly.

"Didn't I remind you not to talk about this?"

"Especially not to let Xu Yuan know."

"But today..."

Old Lady Shen was a little nervous, "I just said it casually, and Xu seemed to suspect something."

"Yun'an, if it were you, you should quickly bring Lu Rou back from outside. After all, she is the one who gave birth to our Lu family's child. Why should Xu care about this!"

Old Lady Shen looked annoyed.

Shen Yun'an was about to speak, but he heard a sudden movement outside.

Thinking of what his mother said, Shen Yun'an's eyes showed murderous intent.

"Who!"

Chun'er didn't expect to hear this, Lu Rou, gave birth to a child?

Could it be that the woman that day was the concubine of the Marquis, and she also gave birth to a child for the Marquis?

If so, it is not difficult to explain why the Marquis was so anxious when he saw the woman.

Chun'er just felt that she had discovered a big secret. When she was about to leave, she suddenly stepped on something under her feet, making a clicking sound.

When she was about to hide, Shen Yun'an had already strode forward. Compared with the exposure of the secret, the pain in his back was obviously nothing.

"Get out here!" Shen Yun'an looked around the courtyard with a fierce look.

Old Madam Shen also realized something was wrong and came out.

"Yun'an, just now..."

Shen Yun'an shook his head, signaling Old Madam Shen to keep quiet.

He quickly noticed the corner, drew his sword, and pressed forward.

"I'll say it again, if you don't come out, you'll be courting death."

Chun'er, who was hiding, saw the figure on the ground getting closer and closer. She was so scared that she fell to the ground and kept begging for mercy to Shen Yun'an, "My Lord, spare my life!"

"Chun'er, why are you here?"

Old Lady Shen was a little surprised when she saw the person on the ground.

"Didn't I tell you all to leave?"

Shen Yun'an's face was terribly gloomy, his eyes fixed on Chun'er, and he asked sternly, "How much of what I said just now did you hear?"
