Chapter 169

"Father, I know you are worried about my safety, but please trust me on this matter."

Xu Yuan looked at Xu Jing in a sincere tone.

"I will take care of the current situation."

Xu Jing sighed. He knew Xu Yuan's temperament very well. In addition to worry, he felt more distressed.

"Yuan'er, no matter what you do, you must put your own safety first."

For him, nothing is more important than Xu Yuan's safety.

"I understand."

Xu Yuan replied, "Thank you for your understanding."

Xu Jing felt complicated, "Yuan'er, it's too little for me to do for you."

His Yuan'er should have been smooth and worry-free, but she suffered so much in the Marquis' Mansion for no reason. If he had been more cautious at the beginning, things might have developed differently.

"The prince's visit to the mansion today is bound to attract a lot of attention. I will handle this."

Xu Jing thought of this and said to Xu Yuan, "If you need anything, just tell me."

"Okay."

Xu Yuan smiled and agreed and then returned to the yard.

Inside the Marquis' Mansion.

"My Lord, something bad has happened!"

The guard who was looking for information entered the study and headed in the direction of Shen Yun'an in a hurry.

Shen Yun'an frowned, and was immediately displeased when he saw the guard's anxious look.

"What's the hurry?"

"My Lord, I heard that the eldest prince went to the Duke's Mansion."

"The eldest prince?" Shen Yun'an paused.

Ever since Xu Yuan unexpectedly took out the divorce letter that day, he was unwilling but did not dare to resist.

But since then, people have been paying attention to the Duke's Mansion and Xu Yuan's movements, but they did not expect that the guard would find out such news.

This eldest prince has rarely appeared in the public eye since he suffered from a leg disease, and he had never heard of any connection between him and the Duke's Mansion.

How could he go there without any problem? The more Shen Yun'an thought about it, the more he felt that there was something strange. Although the eldest prince suffered from a leg disease, it was undoubtedly fatal to a prince.

The battle for the throne would definitely not allow a disabled person to take the throne, which was why he chose to join the camp of the third prince instead of the eldest prince.

It's just that the Queen's mother's family has the Marquis of Zhenbei in charge, and as a military commander, his status is much higher than that of the Shangshu Mansion behind Concubine Liu.

Even though people know that the eldest prince has a leg disease, it still attracts attention.

Shen Yun'an inexplicably thought of Xu Yuan, and whether the eldest prince's visit to the Duke's Mansion has anything to do with her.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun'an continued to ask the guard, "Besides this, have you found out anything else?"

"This..."

"My Lord, I heard that the eldest prince went to the Duke's Mansion for his previous wife."

"Are you talking about Xu Yuan?" Shen Yun'an reacted and said angrily.

The guard was frightened by Shen Yun'an's sudden momentum, and hurriedly explained, "My Lord, these rumors are all heard by me, and the exact situation remains to be investigated."

"Heard?"

Shen Yun'an was even more annoyed when he heard this answer.

Since the eldest prince went to the Duke's Mansion, how could it be spread so quickly? Can he think that the reason why Xu Yuan was so eager to divorce him was because he had other plans long ago.

Even before hooking up with the eldest prince, Shen Yun'an did not forget that Xu Yuan was a doctor.

Even her medical skills could cure the queen mother's long-term illness. If Xu Yuan really cured the eldest prince, it would be more difficult for him to suppress the Duke's Mansion through the power of the third prince.

At that moment, Shen Yun'an felt angry at being betrayed by Xu Yuan, and was even more afraid that the Duke's Mansion would be linked to the Marquis of Zhenbei.

Shen Yun'an immediately went to the Duke's Mansion. He had to ask Xu Yuan about this matter.

In the Duke's Mansion.

"Miss, everything is going according to your instructions." Cui Liu walked in and said to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan nodded, very satisfied with this. How could she not know that Shen Yun'an sent people to monitor the surroundings of the Duke's Mansion.

It's just that she didn't want to pay attention.

This time, the eldest prince's matter was just a turning point.

If you want to make Shen Yun'an completely defeated, you must deal with the third prince who he has surrendered to.

It just so happened that the third prince was also the culprit who caused the Duke's Mansion to be framed in his previous life.

Since God has given her the opportunity to start over, she must seize it.

No matter who is behind it, she will find a chance to settle them one by one.

"Miss, is there anything else I should do next?"

Cui Liu looked at Xu Yuan, waiting for her further instructions.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Yuan said.

"Wait?" Cui Liu was stunned, obviously not understanding what Xu Yuan meant by "wait".

At this time, the maid's report came from outside.

"Miss, Lord Shen said outside the mansion that he wanted to see you."

"Look, he is here."

Xu Yuan hooked his lips and said meaningfully.

Although she left the Marquis' Mansion, those spies did not leave.

How could the suffering inflicted on her and her child by those people in the Marquis' Mansion end so easily?

The news that Shen Yun'an came to the Duke's Mansion to find her will soon be known to Lu Rou.

By then, the Marquis' Mansion will be even more restless.

Chun'er, Old Madam Shen, with Lu Rou's temperament, who knows what extraordinary actions she will take.

"Miss, the guard asked me to ask you whether you want to see Lord Shen or not."

The maid saw Xu Yuan coming out and her tone became more respectful.

"Is my father in the mansion?"

Xu Yuan did not rush to answer, but asked where Xu Jing was.

"The master left the mansion in a hurry just now, as if he had something urgent."

Xu Yuan hummed lightly. No wonder Shen Yun'an came as soon as he knew the news. I'm afraid that the guard who inquired also told him the news of Xu Jing's leaving the mansion.

"You go and tell the guard to bring the person to the pavilion, and I will be there later."

"Yes."

After the maid left, Cui Liu looked at Xu Yuan with a worried look on her face, "Miss, do you really want to see Lord Shen?"

Cui Liu was worried. Every time her young lady had contact with Lord Shen, nothing good happened.

What's more, Lord Shen's attitude was really annoying.

Xu Yuan looked calm, "Since he's here, why don't you meet him?"

Seeing Cui Liu's worried look, Xu Yuan comforted her, "Don't worry, this is the Duke's Mansion, Shen Yun'an doesn't dare to act rashly here."

"Even if he wants to act rashly, he has to consider the consequences of doing so."

"Miss, can I go with you?" Cui Liu asked, so that if something really happened, she could be taken care of in the first place.

"No need." Xu Yuan replied.

"You and the wet nurse stay here to take care of Yi'er."

Xu Yuan refused.

She could still handle such a small matter.

Outside the Duke's Mansion.

Shen Yun'an stood there, his face was terribly gloomy. When had he, a great marquis, been treated like this?

Even though he had lost power now, he could at least look good when he met his colleagues in the court.

But he ran into obstacles everywhere in the Duke's Mansion.
