Chapter 122

After having a meal of Bo Xia Gong, and seeing that it was getting late, Shen Rang, unusually, felt lazy and sent Jing Yuan to ask for leave for him for the afternoon.

After Yunxi finished eating and drinking, her gaze fell on the bundles, but her brows furrowed slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Meeting Shen Rang's questioning gaze, Yun Xi said, "These things... I don't know what to do with them. If I just take them back like this and attract the young mistress's attention... she will definitely throw them all away."

When it was time to sow discord between Yun Wan and Yun Xi, Yun Xi didn't hold back at all: "Young Master, you don't know, the young mistress is the most intolerant of any nonsense. Although these things are my parents' good intentions towards me, in the young mistress's eyes... I don't know what they are."

Shen Rang's eyes flickered slightly.

“…Then you can take it apart here,” Shen Rang said. “If it’s convenient to carry with you, take it back. If it’s not convenient, leave it at Shuiyanglou. That way you can go see it whenever you want and you don’t have to worry about losing it.”

Even though Yunxi had long anticipated that Shen Rang wouldn't stand idly by, she thought that Shen Rang would at most ask Jing Yuan to find a way to send the item back to her. She didn't expect that Shen Rang would actually ask her to put the item in Shuiyanglou.

Shuiyanglou... that's Shen Rang's place. When he's not home, even Shen Jun and Zheng Shi aren't allowed to go in. But now, Shen Rang has agreed to let her things in.

Yunxi lowered her eyes and after a long while said, "...Why is the young master so good to me?"

Shen Rang was taken aback by her unexpected question.

Why are you so good to her...?

Naturally, it was because the two had consummated their marriage; in Shen Rang's heart, Yunxi was his wife.

Because of this huge family, only Yunxi understood him, and only Yunxi could listen to what he said.

In any case, it all boils down to one sentence.

Because he loved her.

However, given that it was such a short sentence, Shen Rang had no right to say it aloud.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Rang simply said, "Because of your father."

Yunxi: ......

If she hadn't known it was absolutely impossible, she would have almost suspected that there was something going on between her father and Shen Rang.

"...Then I won't stand on ceremony with the young master?"

"You're welcome."

Yunxi immediately perked up, got up and gathered all the bundles together, opening them one by one.

Watching from the side, Shen Rang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, realizing that Madam Shen truly loved this daughter.

These bundles even contained things for getting through the winter.

Winter supplies...

Shen Rang's gaze fell on Yun Xi, and seeing that she was dressed so lightly, he frowned: "It's already cold, why are you wearing so little?"

Yunxi heard his words and knew that another opportunity to sow discord between Yunwan and Yun Wan had come.

She sniffled pitifully and said, "My leg is injured, isn't it? It seems the young mistress has forgotten about me and didn't give me any warm clothes..."

At this point, Yunxi sighed again: "However, it can't all be blamed on the young mistress. It's all my fault for injuring my leg at such an inopportune time..."

Her already bright, clear eyes were now glistening with tears, and she kept sniffling, seemingly chilled from time to time, making her look even more pitiful.

But actually, the clothes she wears next to her skin are already padded; they only look thin from the outside, but they are actually very warm.

Hearing her words, Shen Rang felt even worse.

Actually, this girl's leg was injured because of Yun Wan.

Moreover, how could Yun Wan possibly forget Yun Xi?

Nominally, Yunxi is Yunwan's younger sister.
