Chapter 247

It's been so long since Yunxi was made a concubine, yet that person hasn't even allowed Chen Rang to stay overnight at Liuyun Garden. It's clear that he still harbors resentment and dissatisfaction with them.

Such magnanimity hardly befits a matriarch of a family.

"Thank you, Madam!"

Yunxi sipped her drink slowly, but her mind was already elsewhere.

After a few sips of hot milk tea, Yunxi asked, "Madam, if we really became related through marriage, would you be happy?"

Zheng was taken aback.

happy?

Of course not.

Although Yao Susu is a good girl, just as Yunxi said, they can't avoid relatives like Luo Shi. Who knows if Luo Shi will interfere with the Marquis's mansion after Yao Susu gives birth to a child?

The Marquis's mansion has come a long way. If it were destroyed by the Luo family, Zheng would have no face to face the ancestors of the Shen family after she dies.

Seeing Zheng's gloomy and ambiguous expression, Yunxi knew what was going on.

As long as Zheng is unwilling, that's fine.

"Aunt Zhou, could I have another bowl?"

Yunxi's clear voice rang out, and Zheng Shi snapped out of her daze. Looking at the milk stains around Yunxi's mouth, she couldn't help but laugh: "Mama Zhou, hand her a mirror first, and let her see her smeared face!"

Yunxi's cheeks flushed red as she hurriedly wiped the remaining milk stains from her lips with a handkerchief: "Madam, why are you teasing me like this..."

Zheng smiled at her, and Zhou's mother's eyes reddened. She quickly turned around to serve Yunxi milk tea.

The girl in the family had a hard life since childhood. Although she was born into a noble family and seemed glamorous to outsiders, the hardships she endured in the mansion were unspeakable.

After the incident involving Aunt Chen, Madam Zheng became increasingly taciturn.

It's been such a long, long time since I've seen Mrs. Zheng so happy.

No wonder Shen Rang likes her, and Yao Susu likes her too; she truly deserves that affection.

With that thought in mind, Mrs. Zhou hurried over and soon brought over another bowl of milk tea, handing it to Yunxi: "Auntie, drink slowly. There's plenty more in the kitchen. If you like it, come over often!"

"Then I won't be polite," Yunxi said with a smile.

Zheng shook her head helplessly.

This girl's personality is indeed endearing.

Yunxi sat in Rongxi Hall for most of the day before going back. Not long after, Shen Rang returned.

Seeing her lying listlessly on the chaise longue, I thought something had happened. But when I went over to ask, I found out that she had drunk too much sweet stuff and was feeling nauseous.

Shen Rang was both amused and exasperated, and quickly ordered someone to make something sour.

After a few bites of the sour food, Yunxi's complexion improved somewhat, but she still didn't look very happy, a far cry from her former lively and cheerful self.

A pair of long, thin fingers gently poked at the soft flesh of Yunxi's face, and a deep, cool voice sounded: "What's bothering you? Tell me."

Yunxi didn't say anything, she just hugged him tightly.

Although Shen Rang was quite pleased with Yunxi's actions, he still didn't mince words when it came to asking questions: "You can hug me however you want, but you have to tell me what's bothering you. You can't just keep enduring it like this."

Yunxi shook her head: "There's nothing that makes me unhappy, it's just that the thought of the young master taking another concubine soon makes me feel a little uneasy."

She pressed her face against Shen Rang's chest, unable to see his slightly somber expression: "Will the young master think I'm greedy? Will he think I don't understand my place?"
