Chapter 172

Xu Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly. She had doubts, but she didn't like to hide them, so she asked Ye Siyan directly.

Ye Siyan paused, and when he saw Xu Yuan's vigilance towards him, he suddenly smiled and said, "What are you thinking? How could I possibly snatch the child from you?"

"For me, I am already very satisfied that you can let me see Yi'er."

"Yi'er will always be yours."

"Really?"

Xu Yuan was suspicious. You know, with Ye Siyan's identity, if he really wanted to snatch Yi'er from her, it would be a bit troublesome.

"Absolutely true."

Ye Siyan answered with certainty.

"Then you are..." Xu Yuan thought for a moment, thinking that Ye Siyan wanted to take Yi'er away not to snatch her, that is...

Xu Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and said to Ye Siyan again, "But what is the progress of Bai Guzhu?"

"That's right."

Under Xu Yuan's questioning, Ye Siyan nodded in response to her words.

"Ahem."

When Xu Yuan wanted to ask Ye Siyan further, she heard a noise coming from not far away.

Xu Yuan looked towards the source of the voice and saw Xu Jing standing there, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Standing there was not only her father, but also Yun Xiao who had returned.

It looked like Shen Yun'an had been dealt with.

Xu Yuan then realized that she and Ye Siyan were very close at this moment, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were somewhat ambiguous.

But she was just thinking about other things and ignored this point.

Normally, she would be wary of others approaching her, but why did she not feel disgusted when Ye Siyan approached her?

Xu Yuan didn't have time to investigate why this was the case, as Xu Jing had already walked up to them.

"Your Highness, the Regent, are you here..."

Perhaps because he knew that Ye Siyan was the father of the child, Xu Jing became friendly to the prince after accepting this fact.

"My Lord, Master Bai has made progress in detoxification. I would like to discuss with Miss Xu and you to allow me to bring Yi'er back to the mansion for a few days."

Ye Siyan's tone was respectful.

Xu Jing nodded, and looked at Xu Yuan again. He still followed Xu Yuan's opinion on the matter of the child.

"Yuan'er, what do you think about this?"

"In this case, Yi'er will stay with you for a few days, but the wet nurse and the mother-in-law must be taken with him."

Xu Yuan said, still a little worried after all.

"Okay."

After Ye Siyan agreed, Xu Yuan immediately returned to the yard and picked up Yi'er, and also told the wet nurse a few words.

"I will come to pick up Yi'er in two days."

Xu Yuan added while holding the child to Ye Siyan.

Ye Siyan smiled gently, as if he saw through Xu Yuan's concerns, and his voice was soothing.

"You are Yi'er's mother, you can take Yi'er away anytime you want." All

he wanted was to spend more time with the child. If Xu Yuan didn't want to, even just a look from a distance would be enough.

Xu Yuan felt a little relieved after hearing this.

Speaking of which, Yi'er was very happy every time he came into contact with Ye Siyan.

Perhaps this is the induction between father and son.

"Then I'm leaving. If Shen Yun'an dares to come to the mansion again, or if you encounter any difficulties, don't worry. In addition to Duke Xu, there is also me."

Ye Siyan held the child in his arms, and looked at Xu Yuan with a look of reluctance.

He wanted to stay with Xu Yuan more than taking Yi'er back to the mansion.

But if he did so, it might cause Xu Yuan to resist him. Now it's already good enough.

In the mansion of the Marquis.

"Aunt Lu, I just heard a message that the Marquis went to the Duke's Mansion."

"What?"

Lu Rou stood up suddenly from the chair. Didn't Xu Yuan divorce him? Why did Brother Yun'an go to the Duke's Mansion?

This is probably related to that bitch again!

Thinking of meeting Xu Yuan that day and what she said, Lu Rou was almost certain that Xu Yuan must know more or less about the baby swap or the child's background.

Brother Yun'an...

The more Lu Rou thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Since the divorce and Chun'er's miscarriage, Shen Yun'an, who used to take care of her in every possible way, became distant and cold.

Even though she took the initiative several times, Brother Yun'an was indifferent to her.

If she continued like this, her position in the mansion would be lost sooner or later.

"Aunt Lu is not well, something happened to the Marquis."

The maid's voice came again.

Lu Rou heard the noise and hurried out, "Tell me what happened to the Marquis."

Facing Lu Rou's questioning, the maid showed a panic expression.

"I don't know what happened to the Marquis. He was carried back to the mansion and is still unconscious."

"Now the old lady and Aunt Chun are in the Marquis' room."

Lu Rou's heart skipped a beat. Both of them were gone, and she couldn't just worry here.

As soon as she arrived at Shen Yun'an's courtyard, she heard Chun'er asking the doctor, and Old Madam Shen was standing aside.

"Doctor, how is the Marquis?"

"The Marquis only suffered a superficial injury. He will be fine after a few days of rest. Please don't worry."

Hearing this, Chun'er and Old Lady Shen felt relieved. After the doctor left, Lu Rou stepped forward quickly, looked around, and her eyes fell on the guards.

"How did you protect the Marquis? Why did you let the Marquis get so badly injured?"

After Lu Rou asked this, Old Lady Shen and Chun'er looked over at the same time.

The guard was trembling with fear and hurriedly explained, "Madam Lu, the Marquis became like this after entering the Duke's Mansion. I have been waiting outside and don't know what happened inside."

"The Duke's Mansion?"

Lu Rou pretended to be surprised and looked at Old Lady Shen intentionally.

Seeing that Old Lady Shen didn't say anything, she continued to ask, "What is the Marquis doing in the Duke's Mansion?"

"I don't know about that."

Old Lady Shen frowned. When she heard about the Duke's Mansion, her anger had already risen. She knew that this matter was related to Xu Yuan.

"Madam, do you think the Marquis' injury is related to my sister?"

"Of course!" Madam Shen said angrily.

"I thought Xu Yuan would leave and the house would be quiet, but I didn't expect her to do this!"

"No, I'm going to the Duke's House to ask Xu Yuan for an explanation!"

Madam Shen became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. Lu Rou wished that Madam Shen would do this.

If Madam Shen made any mistakes or something unexpected happened, Xu Yuan would have no good life in the future.

Taking this opportunity, she can also go and see her baby Yi'er.

Chun'er saw that something was not right, and hurriedly dissuaded Madam Shen, "Madam, the Marquis may go to the Duke's Mansion for other things. Why don't you wait until the Marquis wakes up and ask clearly before making a decision?"

"If it is really something important, it will be troublesome for you to go."

"Chun'er, do you mean that the old lady is looking for trouble?" Lu Rou was already dissatisfied with Chun'er, and now she saw her standing up to stop her, with anger on her face.

"It is true that the Marquis is in trouble, but the Duke's Mansion should at least send someone to explain!"
