Chapter 392

At night, Shen Rang still didn't return home until late.

The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the Six Ministries. No matter who you are, once you enter the Ministry of Personnel, don't expect to have a leisurely life. Moreover, Shen Rang specifically told the Crown Prince that he wanted to take charge of things independently as soon as possible. So now Shen Rang is so busy that he can't even stand still.

After a long day, he felt dizzy and lightheaded, but the thought of Yunxi waiting for him at home instantly lifted his spirits.

He walked into the gate of the Marquis's residence and saw that Jing Er was sitting at the entrance, waiting for him.

Sure enough, when Shen Rang returned, Jing Er stepped forward and lowered his voice to tell him about the changes that had occurred in the backyard of the Marquis's residence that day.

Seeing Shen Rang's face grow increasingly grim, Jing Er quickly said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Doctor Wei arrived just in time. Your aunt is alright, and her condition has stabilized."

Hearing this, Shen Rang's expression finally eased slightly.

"The person who poisoned my aunt has been apprehended. Would you like to go and see for yourself, or will I deal with him directly?"

"Just like Dr. Tian."

With that, Shen Rang strode towards the backyard.

Jing Er stood still and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chen Rang.

Like Doctor Tian, ​​she was subjected to torture that left her unable to live or die, until she was finally freed.

Shen Rang strode back to Ji Bai Residence and quietly went upstairs.

The bed curtains were not drawn. Yunxi lay quietly on the bed, her face almost devoid of color. Although her breathing sounded weak, it was still gentle and steady. Jixiang was sitting on the footstool. When she saw Chen Rang coming over, she stood up.

Shen Rang raised his hand, indicating that she didn't need to bow. He took a few steps forward to the bedside, carefully examined Yun Xi, and then turned his head to ask, "How is she?"

Jixiang sighed: "Doctor Wei said that the situation has only been temporarily stabilized. We will have to observe for a few more days to know whether it has affected the fetus or Auntie."

Shen Rang pursed his lips.

This means that it's not necessarily true.

"No matter what, we must ensure Aunt's safety. If anyone objects to this, just say it was my order."

Jixiang nodded: "That's what Madam said too."

Shen Rang nodded slightly, his gaze falling on Yun Xi's face again.

After a long silence, he said, "I heard that the maid is from Liuyun Garden?"

"Yes, but the young mistress said she was unaware of it, so it's possible that the maid acted on her own."

Shen Rang gave a cold laugh.

Taking matters into one's own hands?

Doctor Tian's act of drugging Yunxi was presumptuous, and the maid's act of poisoning Yunxi was also presumptuous. There are so many people around this young mistress who act on their own initiative.

"How should Madam handle this matter?"

"The madam confined the young mistress to her quarters for three months and sent a maid to watch over her, making her copy scriptures every day."

Zheng's punishment was indeed a bit too lenient.

However, since the Zheng family had already taken action, he couldn't afford to cause any more trouble. Otherwise, this would have been a perfect opportunity.

Shen Rang sighed: "You should go back first."

"Yes, I'll be downstairs. Le'an will come over later tonight."

After saying that, Jixiang turned and left.

Shen Rang turned his gaze and met those eyes, which were still dark, but not as bright and lively as before.

His eyes softened slightly: "Did I wake you?"

"No, I slept for a long time during the day. Jixiang wouldn't let me get out of bed and move around, so I had to lie there and couldn't fall asleep."

"Jixiang is right, you really should move less these days."

Yunxi sighed, "Zirong doesn't care about me anymore."

"I just feel sorry for you," Shen Rang said in a low, hoarse voice. "Take good care of yourself first. I'll do whatever you say, okay?"

Yunxi nodded: "It's so late, you should get some rest too, you have to get up early tomorrow."
