Chapter 365

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a commotion outside, and then the courtyard gate was pushed open.

Shen Rang strode in with a cold face, but his expression softened when he saw that Yun Xi was unharmed.

Behind him were Shu Qiyuan and his wife, as well as Yun Changliang and his wife.

Seeing this scene, Shu Ningshuang's face paled even more.

She dared not imagine what would have happened to Yunxi if she had actually done something to her earlier.

Shen Rang walked straight to Yun Xi's side, looked her over, and whispered, "Are you alright?"

Madam Yun also hurried forward and asked with concern, "Xi'er, are you hurt?"

Yun Changliang's eyes were also full of concern.

This couple is not putting on an act, after all, Yunxi is carrying the Marquis's child.

Yunxi shook her head: "I'm fine. Miss Shu just thought I was bored by myself, so she called me over to chat."

Upon hearing this, Shen Rang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew things weren't that simple, he was just glad that Yunxi was alright.

Yun Changliang, always quick to back down, smiled and said, "Ning Shuang is indeed a good child, so thoughtful!"

Shu Qiyuan and his wife exchanged a glance and then smiled.

Shu Ningshuang also forced a stiff smile.

“I’ll have Jing Yuan take you home first,” Shen Rang said as he helped Yun Xi walk out, his movements full of care. “It’s almost time, you should be tired.”

Now that Yunxi is pregnant, she is more prone to fatigue than usual.

"Alright." Shen Rang's words only made Yunxi feel sleepy.

Although the courtyard arranged for her by Madam Yun had a bed, Yun Xi couldn't sleep soundly in the Yun family.

Shen Rang and Yun Xi had already left when Yun Ruiyang and Yun Wan arrived late.

As soon as Yun Ruiyang arrived, he went straight to Shu Ningshuang's side and put on a considerate act: "Ningshuang, why are you standing outside? Go back and rest."

His voice was gentle and his movements were thorough. Shu Ningshuang felt a slight sense of relief, thinking to herself that Yunxi, that bitch, had indeed lied to her.

She actually believed it, and even began to doubt Yun Wan.

Shu Ningshuang felt a pang of unease, and even felt guilty when she met Yun Ruiyang's eyes.

"I was feeling stuffy sitting here and wanted to get some fresh air. I am indeed a bit tired right now."

Shu Ningshuang's gaze shifted downwards, but then froze at a certain spot.

Today, Yun Ruiyang was wearing a bright red brocade robe, but there were still some other colors on his body for decoration. And in that patch of moon white, she saw a faint crimson.

It appears to be lip balm.

And this location...

It looks like the stain that would only appear if a woman were nestled in Yun Ruiyang's arms.

Shu Ningshuang's eyes flickered slightly as she recalled the last words Yunxi had said to her, and her heart sank.

Seeing that Shu Ningshuang was standing still, Yun Wan stepped forward and said, "I'll go back with Ningshuang. Father, Mother, Uncle and Aunt, and Cousin, there are still guests to entertain ahead."

As she spoke, she affectionately took Shu Ningshuang's arm.

The two had been friends for many years, and with Yun Wan around, there was indeed nothing to worry about, so everyone left one by one.

"Let's go, Ning Shuang, let's go back."

This time, when Yun Wan linked arms with her, Shu Ning Shuang felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Um."
