Chapter 174

"What are you waiting for? Go and get the doctor!"

In the Duke's Mansion.

Without other disturbances, Xu Yuan's life became much calmer.

But she knew very well that the current peace was only temporary. In fact, after she came into contact with Ye Siyan and treated the eldest prince, it was destined that what would happen next would not be simple. Not

to mention the fact that Yi'er was the biological son of the Regent.

Ye Siyan brought Yi'er back to the palace, although it was because of the treatment proposed by Bai Guzhu, there was no guarantee that someone with ulterior motives would not find out.

How to explain it then?

With Ye Siyan's identity, treating a baby so differently was enough to arouse speculation from others.

"Miss, the master is here."

Cui Liu walked into the house and reported to Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan saw Xu Jing standing there through the window.

She nodded lightly, walked out of the house, and said to Xu Jing who was standing there, "Father."

Xu Jing responded lightly.

"Yuan'er, I came here today to ask you something."

Seeing Xu Jing looking at Cui Liu, Xu Yuan immediately understood and ordered, "Cui Liu, you leave first."

"Yes."

After Cui Liu left, Xu Yuan looked at Xu Jing again.

"Father, please go."

"Yuan'er, I want to ask you what you think of the Regent?"

Xu Yuan was stunned. She thought her father was looking for her to ask about Shen Yun'an's arrival at the mansion or the treatment related to Yi'er.

But she didn't think it was because of Ye Siyan.

She suddenly remembered that day in the pavilion, Xu Jing must have heard her conversation with Ye Siyan, which led to a misunderstanding about their relationship.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's expression returned to calm, "Father, there is nothing between me and the Regent."

"But what did he tell you?"

"No."

Xu Jing shook his head, "These few days, the emperor somehow knew that the child the Regent brought back to the palace was Yi'er, and summoned me to ask about it."

"Then..." Xu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Fortunately, you have saved the Regent, so it is reasonable for the Regent to like Yi'er, but..."

Xu Jing's eyes were filled with worry, "Yier is still young now, and if you look closely, you can still see the similarities with the Regent."

"When he grows up, I'm worried that the fact that Yi'er's father is the Regent can no longer be concealed."

Xu Jing sighed and asked Xu Yuan, "That's why I want to ask you what you think."

"Father, you should understand that if you tell Yi'er's life story at this time, it will not be a good thing for us, the Regent, or even Yi'er."

"At least wait until the truth of the substitution is completely revealed."

"Yuan'er, in fact, things are not that troublesome. With the Regent and I here, others dare not do anything."

Xu Jing felt sorry for Xu Yuan for taking everything on himself.

"But I don't want you to be involved in greater danger."

Xu Yuan said seriously. The matter was caused by her. It was because she didn't know people well that led to all the things in her previous life.

She didn't want to be caught by Shen Yun'an because of these things and put her father in danger.

Listening to Xu Yuan's words, Xu Jing felt distressed.

"Yuan'er, what you said makes sense, but this is not a solution. If we can't let others know directly, we might as well think of another identity."

Xu Jing said.

"What identity?"

Xu Yuan asked, with a tone full of doubts.

"Let the Regent take Yi'er as his adopted son."

"In this way, the Regent's different treatment of Yi'er can also be reasonable."

"Yuan'er, what do you think?"

Xu Jing looked at Xu Yuan. Although he proposed it, the final decision still lies with Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan thought for a moment. The identity of the adopted son can indeed solve a lot of troubles.

But these things still require Ye Siyan's cooperation.

It is indeed a fact that he is the father of the child. If Ye Siyan wants to reveal this identity directly, she can't stop him.

Ye Siyan did not do this because he had some concerns, but...

Xu Yuan lowered his eyes, feeling a little complicated.

"Father, does the Regent know about the adopted son?"

"I also discussed this with you first, but I haven't told the Regent yet. After all..."

Xu Jing looked at his own daughter. He still understood Xu Yuan's temperament. Even if Ye Siyan agreed, Xu Nuan's disagreement would only make things worse.

Moreover, he could see clearly what the prince thought of his own Yuan'er.

"Yuan'er, if you agree, I will mention this to the Regent in two days."

Xu Jing said.

Xu Yuan thought for a moment and replied to Xu Jing, "Father, I have no opinion on this matter, but..."

It is not appropriate to let his father mention to Ye Siyan about taking Yi'er as an adopted son.

The news that Ye Siyan brought Yi'er back to the mansion was known to the emperor, which proved that the palace had noticed something.

Even if Ye Siyan agreed, it was Xu Jing's intention to let people know.

It is hard not to make people feel that his father did this to repay a favor, and then it would be even more disadvantageous to his father's situation.

If some things are to be done, they must be done carefully.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan replied, "Father, let me handle this matter."

Xu Jing was stunned, and was a little surprised by Xu Yuan's reaction.

"Yuan'er, do you mean to mention this matter to the Regent in person?"

Even after hearing Xu Yuan's answer, Xu Jing was still a little uncertain.

"But this way..."

"Father, some things are inevitable."

Xu Yuan replied. She could no longer get help from the other party but chose to protect herself.

What's more, she and Ye Siyan have been a cooperative relationship from the beginning, and he has fulfilled his promise.

Now she has to make other demands on him, which is unfair to Ye Siyan.

Xu Jing nodded after hearing it, "Well."

"Miss."

At this time, the voice of the maid came, Xu Yuan looked up and saw that it was the person left in the Marquis' Mansion.

It seems that a lot of things happened after Shen Yun'an was carried back to the Marquis' Mansion.

Xu Jing saw someone coming, and he didn't stay any longer. He just looked at the maid and turned away.

The maid didn't come to Xu Yuan until Xu Jing walked away.

Xu Yuan glanced at her and said calmly, "Tell me what happened."

"Miss, the dowry you left in the Marquis' Mansion was moved out by the old lady and Aunt Lu."

"Did they see it?"

Xu Yuan curled her lips, she had expected that these people would keep their eyes on her dowry, and she had been prepared for it long before.

At that time, she took out the divorce letter, and seeing that there was no other way, Madam Shen told her not to take anything from the Marquis' Mansion.

They had already set their sights on her dowry.

It was something that belonged to her, how could she let those people take it for nothing.

"Miss, the old lady was furious because of this matter, and the Marquis was even more furious after he woke up. I am worried that they will not let it go." The maid looked worried.

"So what, they are all busy taking care of themselves now, but..."

Xu Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and said to the maid, "How is Chun'er recently?"
