If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

When Aunt Guan walked in and saw Yu Bai and Shi Qing were there, standing respectfully beside Shen Sui'an, tears rolled down her cheeks.

Shen Suian frowned and looked at her, with impatience in his eyes.

"You are the aunt of the Lu family. Can't you talk about it calmly? Do you have to make a big fuss outside?" Shen Sui'an asked.

"If this gets out, people will just laugh at you and think your family is in turmoil."

Aunt Guan's face turned pale. She looked at Shen Sui'an resentfully, "You don't have to scare me. If you hadn't forced me, why would I have come here?"

Shen Sui'an asked calmly, "How did I force you?"

In her previous life, she really had never asked about the temperament of the people in Lu Yuan's house. Is Aunt Guan also so difficult to deal with? What will be the final outcome?

Know nothing.

Aunt Guan cried a few times at first.

"If you keep crying, I'll have you thrown out, and you won't have to show up in the main courtyard anymore." Shen Suian said coldly.

"..." Aunt Guan looked up and saw Shen Suian's calm and indifferent eyes, only then did she realize that he also had such a majestic and intimidating side.

Aunt Guan shook her back teeth and said, "Young Madam, even if you don't like my existence, but... but for so long, in addition to the monthly allowance from the palace, my husband has given me an additional ten taels of silver as a subsidy. A few days have passed this month, but there is still no sign of him. I have no choice but to come to you, Young Madam."

"Yu Bai knows about this. It has always been Yu Bai who has paid me the money."

When Yu Bai heard this, he frowned and was about to explain.

Shen Sui'an asked calmly, "Do you think it was me who stopped Yu Bai from giving it to you? So you came to me crying and making a scene?"

Is not it?

The fact that Lu Yuan gave her extra subsidies was unique, and she knew that Aunt Lin definitely didn't do that.

However, after Shen Suian came into the family, even though the monthly allowance was due, there was still no news.

Today, when she saw Shen Suian bring Yu Bai along, she guessed that it must be Shen Suian who stopped Yu Bai from giving her the money.

"Madam, if I make you unhappy, you can scold and punish me, but as for the monthly allowance given to me by my husband...please don't stop me." Aunt Guan knelt down in front of Shen Sui'an.

When Shen Sui'an looked at the account book today, she found that there was indeed a sum of money given exclusively to Aunt Guan, but she did not take it seriously.

First of all, the money was not much, and Aunt Guan's brother and Lu Yuan used to be colleagues. It was understandable that Lu Yuan wanted to take care of his colleague's sister.

Looking at Aunt Guan, who looked so pitiful and kept kowtowing to Shen Suian, everyone in the room was stunned.

For ten taels of silver...not that necessary, right?

Shen Sui'an raised her eyes and saw the tall figure gradually approaching outside the door. She suddenly realized who Aunt Guan was doing this for.

So I was waiting here.

"What's going on?" Lu Yuan's cold and low voice came from the door.

Aunt Guan was startled, as if she had just noticed Lu Yuan's appearance. She turned her head, and her pretty face was stained with two lines of tears, which was really pitiful.

Lu Yuan looked at her with a slightly gloomy expression, then walked straight to Shen Sui'an and sat down.

"Are you busy?" Lu Yuan asked in a low voice.

Shen Suian looked at him steadily with his pair of dark and clear eyes, and the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed.

She thought that when he came in and saw this scene, he would first ask her what happened.

"Brother Yuan..." Aunt Guan called him affectionately.

Shen Sui'an was startled back to her senses by her affectionate call. She whispered to Lu Yuan, "Auntie Guan's monthly allowance has decreased, and we don't know the reason yet."

Lu Yuan took the teacup and took a sip.

Yu Bai then bowed and saluted, "Master, this month's allowance for Madam Guan should have been sent two days ago, but I was a little busy these days, so it was delayed. This morning, I asked the accountant to send it over. It's all my fault for being slow. Please punish me, Master and Madam."

"Since the accountant was slow in delivering the money, why are you crying here in front of the young lady?" Lu Yuan narrowed his deep eyes slightly.

Aunt Guan felt as if she was pierced by ice when she was looked at. A trace of regret suddenly welled up in her heart.

If she had known this earlier, she would not have asked anyone to guard outside. When she saw Lu Yuan, she hurried over to put eye drops on Shen Sui.

She just wanted Lu Yuan to know that if she lived under Shen Sui'an's command, she would have very few opportunities to see him in the future...

"Brother Yuan, I..."

Lu Yuan frowned fiercely, and there was a hint of anger in his voice, "I told you not to call me that."

It made him feel sick.

Aunt Guan opened her mouth and lowered her head timidly, "Yes, my lord."

"Don't come to the main courtyard all the time. If you have something to say, find Yu Bai and don't bother the young lady." Lu Yuan's voice was cold.

Aunt Guan's eyes reddened. She didn't expect that Lu Yuan would be so disrespectful to her dignity in front of Shen Suian.

"Yu Bai, take him away." Lu Yuan said with some impatience.

His good vacation time was wasted on inexplicable things.

Aunt Guan looked dazed. Things were not going as she wished, and she didn't understand why this happened.

Does Lu Yuan value Shen Suian so much and trust her so much that she won't treat his concubine harshly?

Shen Sui'an said nothing.

Watching Aunt Guan leave in panic, she glanced sideways at Lu Yuan.

"She is not smart, don't mind it. If you can't stand it, I will let her live out." Lu Yuan said.

He had long seen through Aunt Guan's intentions, but he was not despicable enough to sleep with his colleague's sister.

It is Guan Yue'er's freedom to stay in the Lu family. Whether he really treats her as a concubine is his business.

"If you let her live outside, others will think you have a mistress," said Shen Sui'an.

"Actually, the silver was given to Guan Hai's wife and children through Guan Yue'er. After Guan Hai died, his wife remarried with her posthumous child. It was not convenient for me to give the silver directly to her." Lu Yuan explained.

Shen Sui'an didn't expect this to be the reason.

Aunt Guan should be thankful that her deceased brother protected her throughout his life.

"Don't mention her." Lu Yuan said, "Do you have anything to do this afternoon?"

Shen Sui'an smiled: "I've been looking at the account books all morning, and I'm a little tired. I was planning to take a nap."

Lu Yuan put his long arm across her waist and held her on his lap, "Then I'll sleep with you."

Just sleeping?

Shen Sui'an's face was full of suspicion and vigilance.

Lu Yuan saw what she was thinking and kissed her on the cheek. "If Suisui wants to do something else, your husband will accompany you."

"..." Shen Sui'an's cheeks flushed and she pushed his shoulders hard.

"I made my father-in-law angry today." Lu Yuan rested his chin on her shoulder, smelling the unique fragrance on her body. Suddenly, he felt that even if he didn't do anything, it would be comfortable to hold her like this.

Shen Sui'an turned to look at him, "Why are you angry?"

Say it quickly to make her happy.

Lu Yuan picked her up and said, "I'll tell you slowly."

Shen Sui'an thought he was going to make trouble again, but unexpectedly he just hugged her and patted her back gently.

"Some people are not born to be good fathers. Maybe he is a good father to others. It's not your problem if he is not good to you. It's just that we are not destined to be family members." Lu Yuan's low voice was soothing.

Shen Sui'an's eyes were sore, "I know it's not my problem."

"Ah."

Shen Sui'an was thinking that everyone in the Lu family was not nice to Lu Yuan, especially his father, who looked at Lu Yuan without any emotion at all.

He must have had a particularly hard time as a kid.

At least she still has the love of her grandparents.
