Chapter 30

However, this was indeed his oversight.

"Never mind."

Shen Rang took the snacks back to his seat, then picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

As the pastries disappeared one by one, the light in Jingyuan's eyes gradually faded away.

His snacks...

——

Meanwhile, Yunxi returned to the backyard, told Jixiang to guard the back room, and went to the back corner gate herself.

As expected, Granny Liu had already returned from outside.

After being separated for several years, the mother and daughter were reunited. Logically, Granny Liu should have been very happy, but for some reason, she looked more gloomy than usual.

Before she even got close, Yunxi's heart skipped a beat.

Could they have contacted the wrong person...?

She hesitated whether to step forward or not, but Granny Liu had already heard the commotion and came to greet her: "Thank you, young lady, for saving my daughter from this hellhole!"

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems we made the right choice.

But if we didn't go to the wrong place, why was Granny Liu looking like that just now?

Yunxi suppressed her doubts and said, "It's good that we didn't make a mistake."

Since she didn't go to the wrong place, her comings and goings won't be a problem from now on.

With a weight lifted from her heart, Yunxi turned back, quickly washed up, and fell into a deep sleep, sleeping until dawn.

She had just gotten up when Pearl came over: "Second Miss, the young mistress wants to see you."

Although she didn't know why Yun Wan had called her, since she was already at the door, Yun Xi could only follow Pearl to the front.

Yun Wan sat upright in the hall, dressed in fine clothes and adorned with pearls and jade, exuding an air of noble elegance, befitting the wife of a prince.

Seeing Yunxi arrive dressed as a maid, a smile flashed in Yunwan's eyes: "Sister, you've been staying at the Marquis's residence for a while now. I've been providing you with good food and drink these past few days. You can't just sit around doing nothing, can you?"

“Starting tomorrow, you will get up at 5 a.m. just like everyone else. You don’t need to do anything. Just wait outside and do what I tell you. Don’t worry, we’re sisters, I won’t make you do any hard work.”

With so many servants in Liuyun Garden, there's no need to miss Yunxi.

It's just that Yun Wan can't stand her being idle during the day and wants to find something to torment her.

Yunxi could not possibly have missed this point.

In her past life, Yun Wan locked her in a room and kept her like a pig or a dog. She never expected that in this life, she would use such methods again.

The variety of ideas is truly endless.

Before Yunxi could speak, Pearl stepped forward and said, "Second Miss, the tea room hasn't been cleaned yet, so please excuse the trouble."

"Go."

The master and servant's back-and-forth banter completely shut Yunxi down.

Seeing that Yunxi was standing still, Pearl stepped forward, took her hand, and pulled her out.

I don't know what happened to the tea room yesterday. Three or four sets of teacups were piled up haphazardly on the table, and exquisite tea canisters were scattered everywhere. The whole room was a mess.

“Some new tea arrived yesterday, and the young mistress had some extra brewed. We haven’t had time to clean it up yet,” Pearl said. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Miss. Please make sure the tea room is cleaned up before dinner tonight. Otherwise, you’ll have to skip a meal.”

After saying that, Pearl turned and left.

Yunxi looked up at the mess in front of her.

These teacups... must be very expensive...

Since Yun Wan entrusted her with such an important task, how could she possibly let her down?
