Chapter 299

Sure enough, that girl was just too lovable.

“Mother, now that you know Xi’er’s identity, there is something I would like to discuss with you.”

Zheng snapped out of her daze: "What?"

"I want to have a child with Xi'er."

A seemingly casual remark struck Zheng like a boulder, leaving her eyes wide as she stared at Shen Rang as if she'd seen a ghost.

"Absolutely not!" Madam Zheng said without hesitation. "I know you feel sorry for your aunt, and I know your aunt is a good person, but your aunt is still your aunt. I don't care what happens to her in the future, but your first child must be born to the young mistress!"

There's no room for discussion on this!

“But Mother, I have no feelings for the young mistress.”

“What does it matter whether there is affection or not?” As she said this, a self-deprecating smile flashed in Madam Zheng’s eyes. “She is your wife, the young mistress of our Marquis’s mansion, and that is enough.”

Shen Rang pressed his thin lips together tightly.

He was almost bursting with the urge to tell Madam Zheng that he and Yun Wan had been completely innocent from the beginning, and that he had even spent their wedding night with Yun Xi.

But that won't work.

His marriage to Yun Wan involves too many things. If Madam Zheng finds out about it, it won't help him at all, and it might even cause unexpected trouble.

Seeing that Shen Rang remained silent, Madam Zheng continued, "Besides, my requirements are not high. As long as the eldest son is born to the mistress, that's enough. As for the rest, you can decide."

Having said that, Shen Rang knew that Zheng would not budge.

He had no choice but to say "Yes".

Madam Zheng was finally satisfied: "The New Year celebrations are almost over, so you should go back and prepare well."

Shen Rang got up and left.

“Mother Zhou, you should also get ready,” said Madam Zheng. “We need to find a husband for Su Su after the New Year, so we need to get busy.”

"yes."

Meanwhile, Yao Susu was also worrying about finding a husband after the New Year.

When the time comes, Zheng will be needed to take her around, and she is only willing to passively cooperate, as she finds it too boring to stay alone.

After much thought, she decided to target Yunxi.

Upon further inquiry, it was discovered that Shen Rang was not at Ji Bai Ju. This opportunity to take advantage of the situation was right in front of her, and Yao Susu was not about to let it go.

So Yao Susu went straight into Jibai Residence and got straight to the point: "Xi'er, my aunt is taking me to a matchmaker soon, will you come with me?"

Upon hearing her words, Yunxi's eyes widened.

This girl isn't content with just going shopping with her anymore; now she even wants to drag her along on blind dates?!

“How can this be? With my status…” Yunxi shook her head repeatedly, “No, no, this won’t do.”

"Oh, why not! Just say... you're a distant relative of my aunt, just like me!" Yao Susu had already thought it through. "Okay, Xi'er, come with me. You know me, my family only uses me as a stepping stone. I'm already doing the most I can by showing my face. Come with me, or I'll be so bored!"

Yunxi said helplessly, "Miss Yao, this is no joke."

This is much more exciting than going out with her.

"I'm not kidding, I've even prepared everything."

"What is that?"

“A veiled hat!” Yao Susu said with a smile, “A long veiled hat that can cover your waist. If you wear that out, no one will see you. If you want to eat or drink anything, just tell me, and I can get it for you!”

"Besides, what's the point of staying cooped up at home all the time? Don't you want to see the wealthy families in Luoyang City?"

Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth.

I always felt that Yao Susu had planned this all along.

However, Yao Susu was right; staying in the Marquis's mansion all the time was indeed boring.

Seeing Yunxi waver, Yao Susu grinned and said, "Then it's settled! I'll go tell Auntie right now!"
