Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 150
Logically speaking, one should send a visiting card in advance and obtain the host's permission before visiting someone's home. However, since Shu Ningshuang and Yun Wan were close, Yun Wan naturally did not mind and, just like last time, directly had someone welcome her into the backyard.
"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
No sooner had Yun Wan finished speaking than Shu Ning Shuang blurted out, "I saw Prince Shen at Qiluo Lane today!"
Yun Wan was slightly taken aback.
Did Shen Rang go to Qiluo Fang?
Why is he suddenly interested in clothes?
Yun Wan was still puzzled when Shu Ning Shuang continued, "He's with a woman, and it seems the young master is quite intimate with her. What's going on?"
As soon as Shu Ningshuang finished speaking, Yun Wan's face drained of all color.
Without even asking, she knew who the woman behaving intimately with Shen Rang was.
It must be that wretched girl Yunxi!
She's still nobody here, yet she dares to swagger out with Shen Rang. If she actually gets inside, what will become of us?!
However, when she met Shu Ningshuang's questioning gaze, Yun Wan instantly calmed down.
She remained silent for a long time, then finally gave a bitter laugh.
"That girl was part of my dowry. I only let her come with me because she seemed honest. I never imagined that so little time would pass... Sigh..."
Yun Wan sighed deeply: "Never mind, never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. Does Qiluofang have any new clothes lately? I'm busy with the Marquis's affairs all day long, and I don't even have time to pick out a new outfit."
Hearing this, Shu Ningshuang felt even worse.
The proper wife, brought in through proper matchmaking, is busy with housework every day, while her dowry maids go to the embroidery workshop with their mistress. What kind of logic is this?!
Just a while ago, Shen Rang would buy snacks for Yun Wan every day—
Shu Ningshuang shuddered and quickly said, "By the way, those pastries that Young Master Shen bought earlier, were they also for that wretched girl?"
"Of course not!" Yun Wan denied without hesitation. "Those pastries were indeed bought for me!"
She may have lost her substance, but she can't afford to lose face.
Besides, Shu Ningshuang had asked her before, and if she were to admit now that those pastries weren't for her, wouldn't she be contradicting herself?
Although Yun Wan's reaction was somewhat intense, Shu Ning Shuang didn't think it was because she felt guilty. She just felt that she had said the wrong thing: "Wan Wan, I asked the wrong question. I'm sorry."
Yun Wan sighed again, lowered her eyes, and remained silent.
Seeing her like this, Shu Ningshuang's gaze became even more complicated.
Not long ago, Shen Rang bought food for Yun Wan every day, but how long has it been? Shen Rang has been bewitched by that woman!
That woman is indeed shrewd and capable; she's quite a character!
"Ning Shuang, that girl's identity is something you and I should keep to yourselves. Please don't tell anyone. She's still young, and if word gets out, her reputation will be ruined for the rest of her life." Yun Wan actually pleaded.
"She stole your man, and you're still defending her?" Shu Ningshuang stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Wanwan, you weren't like this before!"
If this were before, Yun Wan would have beaten that girl to death!
Yun Wan sighed, "What can we do? That girl is incredibly cunning. The young master has been making a scene at home these past few days, wanting to take her as a concubine. He even argued with my mother-in-law for her sake..."
Upon hearing this, Shu Ningshuang's eyes widened even more: "Is that girl really that amazing?"
"Isn't that right?"
"Don't worry, Wanwan," Shu Ningshuang said seriously, "We've been sisters for so many years. There's no reason for me to just stand by and watch you suffer without doing anything!"
