Chapter 71: Falling Out of Favor

"After all, she gave birth to a child for our Shen family."

Although Old Lady Shen didn't like Lu Rou's behavior, she was thinking about Yi'er.

She didn't want Lu Rou to make the relationship between her and Yun'an too awkward.

Chun'er was a little puzzled after hearing this. It was good that Lu Rou gave birth to a child for the Marquis, but she clearly saw that it was not the case some time ago.

"Old Lady, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you."

Chun'er looked at Old Lady Shen with hesitation.

"Just tell me directly, and don't hide it in front of me." After all, she has been with her for so many years, and Old Lady Shen still has some trust in Chun'er.

"When I was delivering something to Lu Rou some time ago, I accidentally saw her beating the young master, and she even called the child a bastard."

"Old Lady, I think the young master is still so young, how can he withstand the beating and scolding of adults."

"Is there such a thing?" Old Lady Shen hesitated.

Chun'er nodded quickly.

"Madam, the young master is the blood of the Marquis after all."

"I know."

After a brief moment of surprise, Madam Shen looked extremely calm, without any sign of anger.

Chun'er was puzzled when she saw this scene. You know, the old lady did not hesitate to fight with the lady in order to bring the young master to her side, which was enough to show how much she valued the young master.

But why is it different for Lu Rou?

"You go out."

Madam Shen raised her hand and ordered Chun'er.

She was also surprised why Lu Rou would keep the child by her side before, but now it seems that there are other intentions.

After all, it is not the blood of the Shen family, and Madam Shen does not care how Lu Rou wants to deal with the child.

In the next few days, Madam Shen's attitude towards Xu Yuan improved a lot, and she came to her courtyard more often.

This day.

Lu Rou came to the Marquis's Mansion as usual in the name of visiting, and was called over by the old lady as soon as she entered the mansion.

"Madam."

Lu Rou bowed respectfully when she saw Madam Shen.

Old Madam Shen hummed lightly, and suddenly remembered what Chun'er said to her that day. Now that Lu Rou was there, she asked, "How is the child?"

"Child?" Lu Rou was stunned. Obviously, she didn't expect that Old Madam Shen would suddenly care about Shen Nu, the bastard.

"Old Madam, you are talking about Nu'er, right? He has a wet nurse and a maid to take care of him. Old Madam, you can rest assured."

"Nu?"

Old Madam Shen was stunned and a little surprised. She asked Lu Rou again, "Which slave are you talking about?"

"The slave of the slave."

When she heard Lu Rou's answer, Old Madam Shen snorted coldly and said with displeasure, "Lu Rou, you said you would raise this child. Why did you give the child this name?"

Old Madam Shen asked.

"And I heard that you often vent your anger on the child. I wonder if this is true?"

Lu Rou's expression froze, and she looked at Old Madam Shen with shock in her eyes.

How could this old woman know all this, or did someone leak the matter?

When Lu Rou was suspicious, she suddenly thought of Chun'er and understood it instantly.

She said that the maids in the house had no chance to contact the people in the Marquis' Mansion, and the only thing that the old lady could know was what Chun'er said.

The more Lu Rou thought about it, the angrier she became. She suddenly felt that all the troubles she had suffered from Old Madam Shen during this period were caused by Chun'er.

This maid dared to sow discord, she was simply courting death.

Seeing that Lu Rou didn't speak, Old Lady Shen was obviously unhappy, and her tone was a little heavier, "Lu Rou, I'm asking you if there is such a thing."

"Old Lady, you are wronging me. How could I abuse a child? What's more, the name Shen Nu was given by the Marquis."

"Is there such a thing?"

Old Lady Shen was obviously shocked by Lu Rou's answer, and said with a little dissatisfaction, "This Yun An is really a good surname, but in the end he is just a bastard."

"Old Lady, I was wrong before, but Yi'er is my child after all. I don't ask to enter the mansion, I just ask you to keep me by your side to serve, even if I just look at the child from a distance, I will be satisfied."

Lu Rou looked at Old Lady Shen with a sincere face.

Old Lady Shen was moved by Lu Rou's sincerity.

"As long as you don't ruin Yun An's plan and behave properly, I will let you see the child. If the previous thing happens again, Lu Rou, don't blame me for being merciless." Old Lady Shen reminded Lu Rou.

Lu Rou nodded quickly, "Don't worry, old lady, I will behave myself in the future."

Seeing Lu Rou's good attitude, old lady Shen felt much more comfortable.

"I just need to go to Xu's place, you can come with me."

Old lady Shen stood up, and Lu Rou hurried forward to support her.

When the door was opened, Chun'er, who was waiting outside, saw Lu Rou supporting old lady Shen out. She was about to step forward when she heard Lu Rou say, "Chun'er, I will take care of the old lady here."

Chun'er was stunned and looked at old lady Shen again.

Normally, when Lu Rou said this, Old Madam Shen would have shown an unhappy expression, but now she had no intention of getting angry, and just ordered lightly, "Chun'er, you stay here, I just need Miss Lu to accompany me."

Although Chun'er was unwilling, she could only agree at this time. After they walked away, Cui'er came out from nowhere, and saw Chun'er standing there alone and sighed, "It seems that some people will soon fall out of favor with the old lady."

When Chun'er reacted and saw Cui'er who was talking about it, she immediately said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Lu Rou is just an outsider after all."

"Really? But why did I see that Miss Lu looked at you so unfriendly at that time?"

Cui'er said contemptuously, and saw that Chun'er was about to get angry and said these words and left embarrassedly. Chun'er

was angry and anxious, but she also understood that what Cui'er said was unreasonable.

Even outsiders could feel Lu Rou's malice towards her, so how could she not notice it at all.

The old lady agreed to Lu Rou to stay by her side, and I'm afraid she was completely relieved of what happened some time ago, which was not a good thing for her.

The most important thing is that if Lu Rou reacts, she will probably guess that she is behind it.

It will be difficult for her to do anything in the future.

In panic, Chun'er suddenly thought of Xu Yuan.

Yes, Madam must have a way to help her. Meanwhile

, Xu Yuan heard Cui Liu come into the room to report as soon as the child fell asleep.

"Madam, the old lady and Lu Rou are here again."

Xu Yuan's eyes were cold when she heard this. She didn't expect that Lu Rou would calm Madam Shen so quickly in just a few days.

While they were talking, Madam Shen had already walked in with Lu Rou.

Lu Rou entered the room and immediately fixed her eyes on the child in the cradle. Seeing him sleeping soundly, she smiled happily
