Chapter 119

“From what I’ve observed, the Second Miss seems to be in no discomfort except for walking a little slower,” Jing Yuan sighed. “Speaking of which, the Second Miss has really had a lot of troubles. Her leg alone has been going on and on for so long. If it weren’t for the Young Madam bullying her again last time, her leg might already be healed!”

Jingyuan had a very good impression of Yunxi, but the opposite was true of Yunwan. At this moment, he spoke up for Yunxi without hesitation.

Shen Rang remained silent, his phoenix eyes growing even colder.

“By the way,” Jingyuan said, “the second young lady said she wants to eat Bo Xia Gong.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Rang sneered: "She really doesn't like rabbits."

All she liked was the wooden rabbit carving.

"I don't think so."

Meeting the gaze that Shen Rang was looking at, Jing Yuan honestly said, "When the Second Miss talked about the Bo Xia Gong, she was so full of anticipation."

For some reason, Jing Yuan felt that after he said those words, his master's gaze became even colder.

It was colder than the winter wind, so cold it hurt your bones.

Before Jing Yuan could even reflect on what he had said wrong, he saw Shen Rang withdraw his gaze, sigh softly, and look resigned: "Then let's get ready and invite her over for lunch tomorrow."

Yun Wan had already become aware of his relationship with Yun Xi, and now every afternoon she would specifically have someone guard the courtyard gate to keep an eye on Yun Xi, so the only time Yun Xi could go out was at noon.

"Noon?" Jing Yuan was taken aback. "But Your Highness, you don't have a day off tomorrow."

"How long does it take to consume a meal of Bo Xia energy?"

"Then there's no need to come to Buweizhai! This is where you study!"

The Buweizhai was filled with the fragrance of books, and normally one would have to be extra careful to avoid anything with a slightly strong smell. But now, Shen Rang was actually going to eat Boxia Gong in Buweizhai?!

"With legs like hers, how could she possibly climb the Water Pavilion?"

Jing Yuan thought about it and realized that it made sense, so he went down to make the preparations himself.

——

The next day, Jingyuan made arrangements for what he would need at Buweizhai and then rushed to Liuyunyuan.

Fearing being discovered by Yun Wan, Jing Yuan even climbed over the wall to get in.

Yunxi was sitting in the room when she suddenly saw a living person appear in front of her, and she almost screamed in surprise.

Fortunately, she saw Jing Yuan's face clearly and immediately covered her mouth with her hand.

Jing Yuan smiled apologetically at her: "Miss Chenxi, I apologize for my rudeness. The young master requests your presence at Buweizhai."

"Go, go if you're not going to fast?"

“Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to eat Bo Xia Gong? The young master has already prepared it,” Jing Yuan said. “The young master said that it is inconvenient for you to go up and down the stairs, so he asked you to go directly to Bu Wei Zhai.”

Upon hearing that there was delicious food and she could see Shen Rang, Yunxi's eyes lit up, and she left without thinking.

Having not seen Shen Rang for several days in a row, Yunxi was getting impatient.

On the way to Buweizhai, Yunxi's steps were somewhat disordered due to her haste.

This scene, witnessed by Jing Yuan, made him shake his head again.

He knew it! Yunxi just loves rabbits!

The two walked along the path.

The road is lined with strangely shaped rocks, with vegetation only serving as embellishment, so even in late autumn, it doesn't feel desolate.

The two walked around a rock, turned a corner, and saw a person walking towards them on the path.

The two people looked at each other and stopped in their tracks.

"Duan Jieyuan." Jing Yuan bowed to the man.

Yunxi's face paled slightly.
