Chapter 65 Are you familiar with each other?

Lu Rou didn't expect that a maid would dare to hit her like this. She covered her swollen cheeks with disbelief in her eyes.

"How dare you hit me?"

Lu Rou was so angry that her face turned red, and she almost gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know who I am?"

How could Cui Liu not know Lu Rou's true identity? It was just that without the order of her own wife, she would never reveal her identity.

"Just a thief who doesn't do his job!"

"Madam, I think this person is really suspicious. How about sending him directly to the government?"

Xu Yuan nodded, "I'll listen to you."

"No, you can't send me to the government!"

Xu Yuan was obviously a little flustered, and was grabbed by Cui Liu again when he wanted to escape.

"Do you mean you want to deal with it directly?"

"Madam, since this person has such a request, why not fulfill her?"

Lu Rou was angry and anxious. Seeing that Xu Yuan had been watching a good show from the beginning to now, her eyes were even more poisonous. The

one who attacked her was obviously a maid. How could she dare to do so without Xu Yuan's intention.

She swore that when she entered the mansion in the future, the first thing she would do was to deal with this damn maid.

Just as Lu Rou was thinking about what to do, she heard hurried footsteps not far away.

Shen Yun'an, who got the news, hurried over. When he saw Lu Rou being tightly held by Cui Liu, Shen Yun'an's pupils shrank and his body trembled violently.

How could Rou'er come here and meet Xu Yuan at this time.

Shen Yun'an had a bad premonition just by looking

at this scene. Lu Rou, who was at a loss for what to do in the current situation, saw Shen Yun'an coming, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and tears fell.

"My Lord, save me."

Shen Yun'an strode forward and scolded Cui Liu with a sullen face, "Cui Liu, let her go!" But

Cui Liu did not listen to Shen Yun'an's order, but looked at Xu Yuan on the side.

Shen Yun'an noticed this and questioned Xu Yuan, "What does Madam mean?"

Xu Yuan was calm and asked Shen Yun'an unhurriedly, "My Lord, what is your relationship with this thief?"

"Thief?"

Shen Yun'an was obviously stumped by Xu Yuan's question and was a little uncertain for a moment.

Lu Rou saw the opportunity and quickly spoke, "My Lord, I just passed by here unintentionally but Madam humiliated me and said she would deal with me directly."

Shen Yun'an saw Lu Rou's tearful eyes, especially the redness and swelling on her face, and he was already very distressed.

But Lu Rou's appearance here was indeed strange, and he had to find an excuse in front of Xu Yuan, otherwise it would be a big deal if he aroused Xu Yuan's suspicion.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an's tone to Xu Yuan was much softer than before.

"Madam, you must have misunderstood. This person is not a thief. My mother went out today and her illness suddenly relapsed. Thanks to Miss Lu for sending her to the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise I really don't know what would have happened."

Xu Yuan listened to Shen Yun'an's words, and there was a bit of amusement in his eyes.

"There is such a thing."

"Marquis, do you mean that Miss Lu is still indebted to my mother-in-law?"

Shen Yun'an was about to agree, but when he met Xu Yuan's eyes, he felt guilty for no reason.

He had to suppress the strangeness in his heart and said to Xu Yuan, "That's right, Madam, you should let Cui Liu go quickly, otherwise if the news spreads, others will only think that our Marquis' Mansion treats people who have been indebted to us like this."

"Cui Liu." Xu Yuan said.

After receiving the order, Cui Liu let go of Lu Rou.

Lu Rou's eyes were full of fear, and the moment Cui Liu let go, she quickly hid behind Shen Yun'an.

"My Lord, how could my mother-in-law's illness relapse when she was fine? Could it be that she was stimulated by someone?"

Shen Yun'an was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Xu Yuan's eyes looking at Rou'er behind him.

For some reason, he had a bad premonition and vaguely felt that Xu Yuan seemed to know something.

But on second thought, Shen Yun'an felt that it was impossible.

"I will send someone to investigate this matter, but the doctor said that my mother's current symptoms will require a period of recuperation in the future. I'm afraid that you will have to work hard for a while."

"Hard?"

Xu Yuan sneered.

Shen Yun'an used to be like this. He would not miss any benefits, but once it came to matters related to interests, he would be eager to shirk responsibility.

In her previous life, after Lu Rou appeared, she did some stupid things for the sake of her children. She thought that as long as she did her duty well, Shen Yun'an would definitely see it.

For this reason, whenever her mother-in-law was unwell, she would rush to serve her.

In the end, she worked herself into a lot of problems, but she didn't get a single good word.

Thinking about it now, she was really stupid at the time.

This time, she would not do such meaningless things again.

"What about you, Lord Marquis?"

"I."

Shen Yun'an was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect Xu Yuan to say this at this time.

He asked Xu Yuan hesitantly, "Madam, what do you mean by this?"

"Isn't mother-in-law your mother? Why do you want me to take care of her? Besides, I have to take care of Yi'er and deal with all the big and small things in the mansion."

"Did Lord Marquis forget what he promised my father when he left the Duke's Mansion?"

Shen Yun'an certainly did not forget what Xu Jing said.

But now Xu Yuan is not in the Duke's Mansion, but in the Marquis' Mansion. It is his territory. How could Shen Yun'an be willing to be controlled by others?

Lu Rou, hiding behind Shen Yun'an, stole a glance at Shen Yun'an's face with her peripheral vision.

Seeing his gloomy face, and then seeing Xu Yuan's unwillingness to give in, she felt happy.

She was worried before that if her brother Yun'an and Xu Yuan got along for a long time, would they develop some other feelings.

Now it seems that she was completely worried.

When Lu Rou was proud, she couldn't help laughing at Xu Yuan's stupidity in her heart.

Men have to save face in front of outsiders, and at this time, going along with him is the safest way.

But Xu Yuan was different. Not only did he not do so, he even dared to question directly.

Lu Rou decided to add fuel to the fire and asked in a weak tone, "Madam, what you said is wrong. As the daughter-in-law of Madam Shen, Madam Shen needs someone to take care of her now. Isn't it your duty to do this?"

"The Marquis is so busy on weekdays. You should be more considerate at this time."

Shen Yun'an felt very comfortable hearing Lu Rou's words.

After all, Rou'er is his confidant, and Xu Yuan, this vicious woman, is far inferior to Rou'er.

Shen Yun'an thought about it and despised Xu Yuan again in his heart.

"Miss Lu is very familiar with the Marquis?"

Xu Yuan's words shocked Shen Yun'an and Lu Rou at the same time.

Lu Rou bit her lower lip. She was of course familiar with Brother Yun'an, but now was not the time to expose it.

"Madam, why do you have to say such a thing."

Lu Rou lowered her head as if she had suffered a great injustice.
