Chapter 84 Letter of Commitment

Now that the words have been spoken, there are only him, Xu Yuan, and Cui Liu around.

"Madam..."

"Can we stop making trouble?" Shen Yun'an's tone was filled with helplessness, as if everything Xu Yuan did now was just nonsense.

"It was never me who brought up these issues, and the Marquis had better be clear on this point."

Xu Yuan said, "But since the Marquis has already answered, I have another condition."

Shen Yun'an was stunned, as if he saw hope.

"Madam, as long as you don't divorce me, I am willing to accept any conditions."

"In the final analysis, you were wrong in this matter first, and I am considering it because of our past relationship."

"Shen Yun'an, besides the fact that Lu Rou is your concubine, does her child really have nothing to do with you?"

"Yes." Shen Yun'an nodded. The child he and Rou'er had was being raised by Xu Yuan, so how could that bastard Shen Nu have anything to do with him.

"What if the Marquis comes to lie to me again one day?"

"At that time, I will accept whatever the Madam proposes, even if it means divorce."

Shen Yun'an was sure that in addition to the secret that Lu Rou was his mistress, the only other secret was the swapping of the two children.

However, he did that very secretly, and Xu Yuan would never know about it.

Shen Yun'an couldn't help but feel lucky. When Xu Yuan suddenly mentioned the child just now, he really thought Xu Yuan had discovered something.

It seems that he only knew some superficial things, and everything was just his overthinking.

"It's not enough to just say it. After all, you, the Marquis, have already deceived me once."

Xu Yuan sighed.

After what happened just now, Shen Yun'an knew that he was in the wrong, and asked Xu Yuan, "Madam, what else do you want me to promise?"

"Simple."

"Do you dare to sign a letter of commitment? If this happens again in the future or if Lu Rou's child is yours, you will leave this house."

Shen Yun'an's eyes widened when he heard Xu Yuan's words, "Do you want me to leave the house with nothing?"

"The Marquis has a clear conscience and will never let this happen, or you can make things clear now."

"Or does the Marquis dare not?"

Shen Yun'an felt that his dignity was trampled on. This Xu Yuan was really a vicious woman, challenging his bottom line at this time.

But...

Shen Yun'an kept himself calm and asked Xu Yuan, "Madam, I naturally have nothing to hide from you, but if I sign, can I not mention the divorce, and my father-in-law?"

"As long as the Marquis dares to do this, I will naturally believe the Marquis, and my father will not know about it."

Shen Yun'an was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Cui Liu, go get the paper and pen."

"Yes."

Following this command, Cui Liu quickly placed the things on the stone table in the yard.

Shen Yun'an looked at the terms above and thought to himself that Xu Yuan was too cruel. These contents did not ask him to leave the house with nothing, but clearly wanted him to have nothing.

"Madam, do I have to sign this?"

Shen Yun'an picked up the pen and was reluctant to put it down. Even though he knew that those things were concealed very well, he still had some concerns about this.

What if.

What if something went wrong, wouldn't it be the end.

Xu Yuan looked at him in surprise, "Okay."

Shen Yun'an breathed a sigh of relief. This woman was still sensible, but the next second he heard Xu Yuan say, "I knew that what the Marquis said just now was to deceive me."

"Marquis, you really are hiding something from me, well, I won't delay the Marquis."

Hearing Xu Yuan's resolute tone, Shen Yun'an just felt irritated.

According to Xu Yuan, if he didn't sign today, he would be divorced. He was not strong enough to compete with Xu Jing now.

"Madam, I will sign it. I have no secrets from you."

Shen Yun'an showed a stiff smile on his face, but his anger was rising.

When he became successful and no longer needed Xu Yuan and the Duke's Mansion behind her, he must let Xu Yuan know the consequences of today.

"Then the Marquis..."

Shen Yun'an gritted his teeth and signed his name on it.

"Marquis, don't forget your handprint." Cui Liu added at this time.

Shen Yun'an looked at Xu Yuan again, obviously agreeing with Cui Liu's approach.

"Madam, why do you have to add your handprint?"

"What does the Marquis say?"

Shen Yun'an clenched his fists, "Okay!"

After doing all this, Shen Yun'an looked at Xu Yuan.

"Madam, you can trust me now, right?"

"Yeah."

Xu Yuan nodded, very satisfied with this.

"I am relieved that the Marquis has this promise."

"Yesterday, my mother-in-law told me to let Chun'er go to the mansion first. What does the Marquis think about Lu Rou's matter?"

Xu Yuan asked Shen Yun'an.

Shen Yun'an's expression softened when he heard Xu Yuan mention Lu Rou.

"Madam, since Chun'er is going to come to the mansion, let her come in on the same day as Lu Rou. It can be done privately without disturbing too many people."

Shen Yun'an also knew that this matter was not a very glorious thing.

"Okay."

"My Lord, Lord Ye is here."

The guard's report came.

Shen Yun'an frowned and looked puzzled, "What Lord Ye?"

He was in no mood to meet Lord Ye now.

"It's Lord Ye from the Imperial College." The guard approached and said to Shen Yun'an again.

"The Imperial College..." Shen Yun'an opened his eyes wide, and it seemed like it was something about the Chief Censor, and hurriedly said, "Then what are you waiting for, go and greet him quickly."

Shen Yun'an wanted to leave, but then he remembered that Xu Yuan was still here. In order to stabilize Xu Yuan, he spent a lot of effort, and naturally would not allow anything to go wrong at this juncture.

"Madam, I'm leaving first, about what happened just now."

"My Lord, don't worry, since I promised, I will naturally do it."

Shen Yun'an nodded, and then left with peace of mind.

"My Lord, those guards at the gate..."

Xu Yuan said as Shen Yun'an was about to leave.

"Madam, that was just a misunderstanding. Those guards misinterpreted my intentions. I will have someone punish them."

Shen Yun'an replied.

"Cui Liu, you will deliver this letter of commitment to my father at the Duke's Mansion tomorrow."

Xu Yuan instructed Cui Liu that she knew Shen Yun'an, and that his willingness to sign today was only a temporary measure, and that he would find other ways in the future.

Leaving the things with her father was the best way for her to get out of the situation.

Cui Liu took the things and responded quickly.

"Madam, don't worry, I will do it."

Xu Yuan nodded, very satisfied with this, "Lord Ye from the Imperial College is here, and I think Lu Rou is on the way, so it's going to be a good show."

On the other side of the Marquis' Mansion.

Shen Yun'an had just welcomed Lord Ye into the mansion when he heard a noise not far away.

"Get out of the way, I want to see Brother Yun'an!"

Seeing the guards blocking the way in front, Lu Rou shouted angrily.
