Chapter 9 What has changed?

The lady who has always been gentle and tolerant is now teaching the people around the old lady a lesson.

Chun'er was startled by the sudden slap in the face, and looked at Xu Yuan with astonishment.

"Madam, you..." Chun'er covered her swollen cheek and looked at her in disbelief.

Xu Yuan was dismissive of this, "Why, do you want to do it again?"

When she was about to raise her hand, Chun'er trembled all over and finally reacted and hid behind Old Lady Shen.

Old Lady Shen was also startled by Xu Yuan's sudden action. She never thought that she would dare to take action at this time.

"Xu, Chun'er is someone around me after all. Even if she is wrong, it is not your turn to take action!" Old Lady Shen looked gloomy and glared at Xu Yuan fiercely.

"Does mother-in-law mean that you think Chun'er is right to do this?"

Xu Yuan's tone became colder. Seeing someone looking at her from outside, a coldness flashed in his eyes.

"How dare a maid dare to commit treason today? I am doing this for her own good."

Old Madam Shen was stunned, frowning and showing her displeasure, and asked Xu Yuan viciously, "What do you mean by this, Xu!"

Xu Yuan sighed lightly and showed a surprised expression again, "Think about it carefully, mother-in-law, it is precisely because these people know that Chun'er is a maid beside you, so her words and deeds represent your meaning, mother-in-law."

"Although these things today are trivial, if they are spread out, what will those people outside think? If it is a big deal, I am afraid it will only ruin the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion."

Old Madam Shen paused, and inexplicably felt that what Xu Yuan said made some sense.

Although she was dissatisfied with Xu Yuan, she couldn't say anything because of her status.

Thinking of the purpose of this trip, Old Lady Shen said to Xu Yuan with an impatient look, "Get out of the way, I want to see my grandson."

"Yier is still sleeping soundly."

When Old Lady Shen, who was about to step forward, heard Xu Yuan's words, she was shocked for a few seconds, and then angrily said, "Xu, what did you say just now?"

"This child is obviously named Shen Yao. I specially asked the master to give him this name. In the future, he will bring glory to our entire Shen family!"

Old Lady Shen deliberately emphasized her tone and scolded Xu Yuan fiercely.

Chun'er, who was behind, heard these words with a vicious look in her eyes, but she didn't dare to speak as softly as before, "Madam, the old lady's health is not good to begin with. The doctor said that she should not get angry. Why do you..."

Before Chun'er finished her words, she saw Xu Yuan's cold eyes and didn't dare to continue for a while.

Old Madam Shen covered her chest, pretending to be unable to breathe, "Xu, are you going to piss me off to death?"

"You vicious daughter-in-law."

Every time at this time, Xu Yuan would show weakness and act according to Old Madam Shen's wishes. If it were in the past, Xu Yuan would do so, but now.

Xu Yuan just stood there, watching Old Madam Shen's clumsy performance. She knew medical skills, so how could she not see that Old Madam Shen was just pretending.

But in her previous life, she really believed it, so she gave in one step, and then gave in step by step, until the last moment, she gradually became a marginal figure in the Marquis's Mansion.

Old Madam Shen covered her chest and glanced at Xu Yuan with her peripheral vision.

She felt vaguely puzzled in her heart. If it were usual, Xu Yuan would have been very nervous, but why was she so calm today?

When Old Madam Shen looked over, she happened to meet Xu Yuan's eyes.

"What are you all waiting for? Since the mother-in-law is not feeling well, why don't you help her back and have a good rest?"

Xu Yuan answered slowly.

"Mother-in-law, this matter is also my negligence. I forgot that you are not fully recovered yet."

Seeing Xu Yuan's intention to give in, Mrs. Shen's face looked much better. When she wanted to use this reason to continue to attack, she heard Xu Yuan say, "That's why I can't let you see the child."

"The child was born only a few days ago. He is weak in constitution. What if he gets sick?"

Under the shocked eyes of Mrs. Shen, Xu Yuan said, "I think mother-in-law doesn't want this to happen, right?"

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened. She wanted to say something but couldn't find the words to refute for a while.

The chest was heaving more violently, and her face was pale. She was really uncomfortable.

"Madam, please don't say anything. The old lady's body really can't bear it." Chun'er said anxiously.

"What nonsense are you talking about." Xu Yuan's eyes turned cold instantly.

"How dare you curse your mother-in-law like this? I think there must be someone like you around her who has bad intentions, which is why her illness has not been cured."

"Come here, drag Chun'er out and sell her immediately!"

Xu Yuan's words shocked everyone. Chun'er trembled and fell to the ground in fear.

The lady in front of her seemed to have changed in some way.

"Xu!"

"You have no right to do this!"

Old Lady Shen didn't care about pretending to be sick and scolded Xu Yuan.

At this time, the cry of a baby came from the bed.

Xu Yuan was happy, because her child woke up.

Being able to wake up means that there is no problem. In this way, her uneasy heart can be completely settled.

Xu Yuan ignored Old Lady Shen and turned around to pick up the child on the bed.

"Yier, be good, mother is here." When facing the child, Xu Yuan's tone was surprisingly gentle.

When Old Lady Shen saw the child in Xu Yuan's arms, her expression also eased a lot.

"My dear grandson, Yao'er!"

"Mother-in-law, his name is not Yao'er." Xu Yuan corrected Old Lady Shen again.

Old Lady Shen felt embarrassed for a moment when Xu Yuan reminded her in front of so many people.

"Mrs. Xu, I am the child's grandmother. If I say he is Yao'er, then he is Yao'er!"

Old Lady Shen was obviously angry at Xu Yuan's words.

"In this Marquis' Mansion, it is not your turn to cover the sky with one hand!"

Xu Yuan listened to these words and felt ridiculous. This was the mother-in-law she respected in her previous life. Perhaps she was too easy to talk to. She

had never had an open conflict with these people, so she had been deceived by their so-called kindness again and again.

But this time she was no longer willing to endure it.

It was absolutely impossible to make her compromise in this way.

In response, Xu Yuan asked Old Lady Shen, "Then according to your meaning, mother-in-law, what I, your mother, say does not count at all?" Old Lady Shen

snorted coldly, and did not directly answer Xu Yuan's words, using her silence at this time to express her attitude.

"No matter what is said today, the child must be named Shen Yao." Old Madam Shen said firmly, showing

no sign of giving in in front of Xu Yuan.
