Chapter 307

Yunwan took the money and saw that it was two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels.

In the past, two hundred taels of silver would not have caught Yun Wan's eye, but things are different now. Besides, when she lent money at interest, she only allowed fifty taels to be lent out!

Only a few days have passed, and the fifty taels have multiplied several times over and are back in her hands!

Even fifty taels is the same; if it were spread out...

Yun Wan seemed to see a torrent of silver flowing towards her.

"First, plug the hole from last time," Yun Wan instructed in a low voice, "then let out... five hundred taels."

Five hundred taels is neither a lot nor a little; let's see how many times it can multiply.

The jadeite retreated in response.

Yun Wan then looked at Pearl: "Use this silver to buy some fine fabrics and have the embroiderers in the mansion make a few clothes. Also, buy some rouge and send it to her in my cousin's name. Then, arrange a meeting with her... Don't set a time yet, let's see what she thinks first."

Now that money is no longer an issue, it's time for her to take action.

Pearl also hurriedly turned around to take care of it.

Meanwhile, after having breakfast, Shen Rang and Yun Xi headed towards Buweizhai.

Throughout the journey, Shen Rang acted somewhat strangely. Not only did he walk exceptionally slowly, but he also kept his hand firmly on Yun Xi's, revealing a hint of reluctance.

Just as Yunxi was wondering why Shen Rang was acting this way, Buweizhai arrived.

Duan Huaichuan was already waiting for him at Buweizhai.

Upon seeing him, Yunxi was very surprised: "Brother Huaichuan, what are you doing here?"

Seeing Shen Rang and Yun Xi come over together, Duan Huaichuan's gaze fell on their tightly clasped hands, paused for a moment before looking away: "We are both in the Marquis's residence now, I need to know if you are doing well, otherwise it would be bad if I didn't know anything when my teacher asked."

Hearing him mention Chen Zongwen, Yunxi's heart skipped a beat: "My father... knows we're all here?"

If Chen Zongwen knew she was in the Marquis's residence, he would quickly realize her identity, and then...

"All the teacher knows is that we are all in Luoyang."

Since Yunxi didn't want his family to know about this, he naturally wouldn't tell them.

Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Duan Huaichuan's words.

Only then did she belatedly realize that Shen Rang had not let go of her hand.

When he met her gaze, Shen Rang seemed completely unaware that something was amiss, and even raised an eyebrow at her.

Yunxi reluctantly withdrew her gaze.

Okay.

The three of them sat down.

Because Shen Rang refused to let go, the two had no choice but to sit side by side, leaving Duan Huaichuan all alone facing them.

For some reason, Yunxi actually had things to say to these two people, but now that they were sitting together, she vaguely sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange, and she couldn't say a word.

Since she remained silent, Shen Rang and Duan Huaichuan had even less to say.

Duan Huaichuan was unwilling to let go of this hard-won opportunity, but he really didn't want to speak in front of Shen Rang.

Everything in Qingshui Village belongs solely to him and Yunxi; Shen Rang is merely an outsider and has no right to be a part of it.

The atmosphere at Buweizhai became extremely eerie.

Finally, Shen Rang spoke first: "If Scholar Duan has nothing else to do, please leave. We should also go back."

Yunxi couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.

Are you going back already?

Duan Huaichuan pursed his lips: "I have something I want to say to the young master alone."

Shen Rang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Tell him?

What is there for the two of them to say?
