Chapter 265

"The most important thing about these things is the thought behind them. It's good that you have the thought."

Yunxi, a concubine, has such sentiments, but what about her legitimate daughter-in-law?

As they were talking, Shen Rang came over. Seeing that Yun Xi was indeed not copying scriptures, a smile appeared in Shen Rang's eyes.

Madam Zheng was quite surprised to see Shen Rang: "Why isn't he with the young mistress?"

After bowing respectfully, Shen Rang said, "The young mistress went back to her parents' home today."

"oh?"

Zheng's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The mother-in-law didn't even know her daughter-in-law had gone out.

Never mind, it's not important.

Madam Zheng quickly came to her senses. Her gaze fell on Shen Rang, then followed his gaze to Yun Xi. She smiled and said, "What, did you come here specifically to see me because you were afraid I would bully the person you cherish most?"

“Mother is joking,” Shen Rang said. “I was just bored by myself, so I came over to sit for a while.”

Zheng didn't believe a word he said.

This child has plenty of time to be alone, how come he's only getting bored now?

It's clearly because of Yunxi.

However, Zheng did not expose his thoughts and let him sit down.

She didn't know when it started, but Shen Rang had become distant from them. It had been a long time since she had sat quietly with Shen Rang like this.

Yunxi and Zhou's mother sat by the window, one teaching diligently and the other learning attentively, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Shen Rang couldn't sit still any longer.

Zheng glanced at him, feeling helpless.

When Yunxi came over, she knew how to make her happy. But look at her own son, sitting here like a silent gourd.

"Alright, just say what you have to say, don't stay here waiting."

Shen Rang didn't mince words: "Mother, your son has been looking forward to a holiday for so long, but you called Xi'er here. What kind of logic is that?"

“What reason do you have? Isn’t it all for your own good?” Madam Zheng said. “You treat your concubine so well, the young mistress will surely be dissatisfied.”

“But my son and the young mistress are sitting together, and there’s really nothing to say to each other or do,” Shen Rang said.

In the past, he could have tolerated it, but after meeting Yunxi, he could no longer stand it.

Strangely enough, as long as he was with Yunxi, even if they did nothing, he didn't find it hard to get through the time.

With just one sentence, Madam Zheng knew his purpose: "Zirong, you should know that I do not object to your relationship with your aunt, but the eldest son has not yet been born, and I cannot be at peace with myself. You should understand me."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi, who was sitting to the side, twitched her eyebrows slightly.

It seems that Zheng's heart is in turmoil.

"Eldest son, my foot! Shen Rang and Yun Wan have no real relationship whatsoever, except for superficial formalities. Who knows when this eldest son will finally be born?"

This is also what Shen Rang is thinking.

“I understand my mother,” Shen Rang said, “but she should also believe in me.”

From childhood to adulthood, Zheng's methods have always been tough and ruthless.

Just like now, without saying a word, he took Yunxi away from him.

But he's not a child anymore.

After hearing Shen Rang's words, Madam Zheng could only sigh and say, "Alright."
