Chapter 223

At this moment, Jixiang and Le'an came in with hot water and clean cloths, put the things down, and hurriedly turned and left.

Shen Rang's movements were patient and gentle as he carefully cleaned Yunxi's wounds before turning back to get the medicine.

Seeing Shen Rang kneeling on one knee in front of her, carefully applying medicine to her, Yun Xi suddenly smiled.

Shen Rang subconsciously looked up at her, and two crescent moons met his eyes: "What are you laughing at?"

Yunxi covered her mouth and chuckled: "Zirong, wouldn't you say we've been through thick and thin together?"

Her arm was injured, and Shen Rang's back was injured, so how can that not count?

Hearing her words, Shen Rang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You."

Even at a time like this, you can still think so positively.

Shen Rang quickly applied the medicine to Yunxi, then called Jixiang in to change Yunxi into a clean set of clothes before saying, "You should rest well first. I'll go see how things are going over there."

Letting Shen Jun handle it would simply mean turning a big problem into a small one and a small one into nothing, but he was unwilling to do so.

Yunxi nodded.

She was also hoping that those people would be dealt with by Shen Rang.

——

Liuyun Garden.

After all, the order came from Shen Jun, so the handling of the matter was naturally carefully considered. In the end, the person was fined three months' salary, and the matter was to be dropped.

Just as the event was about to end, Shen Rang came over.

No one expected him to return.

"Zirong, why are you back?" Shen Jun's smile was a little stiff. "Is your aunt settled in?"

"Hmm," Shen Rang's gaze slowly swept over everyone, "How did Father handle it?"

"You don't need to get involved in this matter. Don't you trust your father to handle things?"

Shen Rang looked at him, and although he didn't say anything, his meaning was already very clear.

A blatant lack of trust.

Shen Jun's smile became increasingly forced.

He sighed heavily and said, "Fine, you tell me what to do."

"My lord, those people were just following orders. Please show them mercy."

Yun Wan sincerely asked for his help.

Shen Rang, however, refused to listen.

“The old woman who spoke just now, and,” Shen Rang’s gaze fell on the leading guard, “you, beat him to death with sticks.”

"The rest of the people in the madam's courtyard shall be dealt with by the madam. As for these guards, they shall be sent to do hard labor."

"What do Father and Wife think?"

His voice was icy cold. Since Shen Jun and Yun Wan were in the wrong first, they naturally couldn't say anything.

That's settled.

Immediately, someone stepped forward, tied up the old woman and the guard, and took them away. The father and son followed.

Yun Wan gritted her teeth.

She could see it clearly: Shen Rang was standing up for that bitch!

Tell everyone inside and outside the courtyard that they must be extra careful whenever they try to lay a hand on Yunxi!

After this incident, even if it's an order from Shen Jun or Madam Zheng, the servants will have to think twice before taking action!

“Young Madam,” Pearl stepped forward, “I have already made arrangements to send Granny Yu back to her hometown for a proper burial and have given her fifty taels of silver.”

When she said this, Pearl did not deliberately lower her voice so that the other old women in the courtyard could hear her clearly.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the old women looked at each other, their eyes flashing with a strange light.

"We might work our whole lives and not even earn fifty taels of silver. I never imagined that Granny Yu's life was so precious that it was worth fifty taels!"

"That's right! We should be eager to help whenever something happens in the future, it's fifty taels of silver!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Hearing the women's voices, Yunwan gave Pearl an approving look, stood up and said, "Let's go, we've been delayed for too long, Mother is getting impatient."

Cut off her money, she'd like to see how Yunxi would ever be able to maintain her position in the Marquis's mansion!
