Chapter 74: The wrong time (asking for monthly votes~)

Seeing that they were talking about the main topic, Lu Rou's eyes lit up, and she looked at Shen Yun'an with expectation.

"Brother Yun'an, the matter of entering the mansion..."

Shen Yun'an paused, a little helpless, "Rou'er, of course I want to arrange for you to enter the mansion as soon as possible, but you also know that in addition to mother, Xu Yuan has to deal with this matter." "

Brother Yun'an, didn't you say that you have no feelings for Xu Yuan? Are you lying to me about all this?"

Lu Rou's tears fell, and she looked even more pitiful.

"Don't you know that Xu Yuan almost sent me to the government that day, and even sent people around him to humiliate me with the worst words and hit me."

"All I want is to be with you, the Marquis, and the child in an upright identity."

Shen Yun'an was moved by Xu Yuan's words.

If it were something else, he would have agreed directly, but this time, after the incident at the Duke's Mansion, he didn't dare to act as recklessly as before.

"Rou'er, Xu Yuan is indeed not to be feared, but she still has the Duke's Mansion behind her."

"Xu Yuan's father is the Duke of the current dynasty, with many retainers, and several ministers in the court were promoted by him."

It was precisely because of this that he felt apprehensive.

Although Xu Jing was dissatisfied with him now, Xu Yuan was his only daughter. As long as she was still in the Marquis' Mansion, he could not watch Xu Yuan suffer together.

If only Rou'er had a family background like Xu Yuan, then he would not have to worry about not having help.

"Rou'er, I promise you that I will marry you into the mansion after this matter is over."

Lu Rou listened to Shen Yun'an's words, feeling helpless and unwilling.

At this moment, the guards hurriedly reported from outside.

"Marquis, the lady is here."

"What?"

Xu Yuan's appearance obviously made Shen Yun'an panic. With her temper, if she saw Lu Rou appear here, she might take the child back to the Duke's Mansion directly like last time.

Just thinking about this, Shen Yun'an felt a headache.

Shen Yun'an quickly let go of Lu Rou and told her, "Rou'er, when Xu Yuan comes in later, you should say that you are here to pass on a message under the order of your mother."

"Don't let her see any clues, understand?"

Lu Rou nodded.

At this time, Xu Yuan had already come to the study room. Seeing the guards standing outside, he asked in confusion, "What are you doing? Why are you blocking here? Is there anyone else in the study room besides the Marquis?"

"No... no."

The guard was a little nervous in front of Xu Yuan, "Madam, the Marquis is resting. Please let me go in and report."

Shen Yun'an, who was inside, heard the guard's words and cursed the guard in his heart for being stupid to use such an excuse.

If he was resting now and Lu Rou appeared here, wouldn't it be even more difficult to explain.

The guard had already walked in at this time and asked Shen Yun'an in a panic, "Marquis, what should we do now? Madam is about to come in."

"Idiot!" Shen Yun'an scolded, but he also knew that getting angry now was not a solution.

"My Lord, why don't you let Miss Lu hide first and wait until Madam leaves?"

The guard said to Shen Yun'an again.

Shen Yun'an nodded. This was the only way to do it under the current circumstances.

"Go out and stabilize Xu Yuan first, and wait for my cough to signal."

Lu Rou was a little flustered by this situation, and asked Shen Yun'an helplessly.

"Brother Yun'an, where should I hide now?"

Shen Yun'an looked around. Fortunately, his study was not only a place to deal with things, but also a place to rest in the back.

He took Lu Rou to the innermost part of the study, pointed to the screen fan over there and said to Lu Rou, "Rou'er, you hide there first."

Xu Yuan stood there, knowing who was inside. Just

as she was about to go in, the guard quickly blocked her way, "Madam, the Lord is now..."

"Get out of the way."

Xu Yuan said. Although his words were calm, he was surrounded by a pressure that should not be underestimated.

When the guards didn't know what to do, they saw the door of the study opened, and Shen Yun'an walked out. He signaled the guards to leave with his eyes and asked Xu Yuan, "Madam, why are you here?" "

I just happened to pass by and came to see the Marquis."

Xu Yuan looked at Shen Yun'an and looked into the study. "Just now I saw that the guard refused to let me in. Could it be that the Marquis's study is hiding some unspeakable secrets?"

Shen Yun'an felt guilty when he heard Xu Yuan's words, and his tone was much higher when he spoke.

"Madam, what do you mean by this? Are you suspicious of me?"

"Suspicious?"

Xu Yuan chuckled and went straight into the study, looking around.

Shen Yun'an thought it was not good and hurriedly chased after him.

"Madam, what are you doing?"

Seeing Xu Yuan about to enter the innermost part, where Lu Rou was hiding, Shen Yun'an became anxious in an instant.

"No big deal."

Xu Yuan said. She could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with the screen, and thought that Lu Rou was hiding there.

But Shen Yun'an thought it was done perfectly.

It was really ironic.

"My Lord, your screen fan is quite special. I've never seen it before."

Xu Yuan pointed to the location of the screen fan and was about to walk over there. When

Shen Yun'an heard this and saw Xu Yuan getting closer and closer to the screen fan, his heart was directly raised to his throat.

For a moment, he wondered if Xu Yuan did this on purpose.

Shen Yun'an suddenly grabbed Xu Yuan when she was about to get close.

"Madam, if you like this screen fan, I'll have someone send it to your room another day."

"I still have some things to deal with now. Can I come to see you later?"

Xu Yuan hesitated and his eyes fell on Shen Yun'an.

Shen Yun'an was nervous, but he didn't dare to let go of Xu Yuan, for fear that she would suddenly walk to the screen fan and discover Lu Rou's existence.

"Well, since my Lord has other things to do, I won't bother you."

Xu Yuan looked at the wrist that was being pulled, frowned, and said with some disgust.

"My Lord, let go."

Shen Yun'an was stunned, and quickly let go of Xu Yuan's wrist, staring at her. He didn't know why when Xu Yuan said that, she looked at him with disdain.

That feeling just now must be his illusion.

Xu Yuan had just taken a few steps, and Lu Rou, who was hiding behind the screen fan, felt suffocated and accidentally touched the screen fan, making a noise.

Shen Yun'an hurriedly stepped forward to hold the screen fan, but heard Xu Yuan's voice.

"My Lord, what's that sound?"

Seeing that Xu Yuan, who had just left, was about to come back, Shen Yun'an became a little anxious.

What's wrong with Rou'er? She knew Xu Yuan was here, but she was still so careless.

"No...no."

"Just now I accidentally dropped something on the ground and it made a sound."
