Chapter 399

Hearing her call his name, Shen Rang hummed in response, his expression returning to normal.

He stepped forward, took the towel from Yunxi's hand, and gently wrung out her hair.

Yunxi had her back to him, but the corners of her lips were slightly upturned.

This pampered young master, who has been treated like royalty since childhood, is now becoming increasingly adept at serving others.

He noticed that she was in a good mood, but Shen Rang was not.

He had something on his mind.

The thought came to him the moment he entered the house.

Yunxi chuckled to herself for a while before realizing that Shen Rang had been unusually quiet today.

Since her hair was almost dry, Yunxi turned around and met Shen Rang's eyes.

"Zirong, is something wrong outside?"

Shen Rang shook his head, turned the person around, and continued to dry her hair.

But Yunxi had already noticed his abnormality, and now she was restless even while sitting.

After a moment of silence, Chen Rang asked, "Are you bored being home alone?"

“…A little.” Yunxi said truthfully.

Besides, with Yun Wan now under house arrest, there are indeed fewer things to do at home.

Shen Rang stopped what he was doing and said, "Xi'er, would you... be willing to try being the steward?"

Upon hearing his words, Yunxi was immediately stunned.

Behind him, Shen Rang continued speaking: "I can ask a female accountant to teach you slowly. You don't have to force yourself to learn too much. Just learn a little when you have nothing to do. You are pregnant now, so you must not overwork yourself."

The reason he hesitated was because Yunxi was currently pregnant.

He was already exhausted, and now he had to take on the task of housekeeping; he felt a little sorry for him.

But then I thought, with Jixiang and Le'an around, they will definitely take good care of Yunxi and not let her get tired. And Yunxi will have to learn how to manage a household sooner or later anyway. Rather than cramming at the last minute, it's better to start learning now.

So, Shen Rang still spoke up.

Yunxi quickly realized what was happening, but the shock on her face had not yet subsided.

Since she realized that she didn't have enough people at her disposal, she did consider taking charge of the household. However, she was just a concubine and was sure that Madam Zheng would not agree, so she had to put the idea back. Unexpectedly, Shen Rang has now taken the initiative to ask her to take charge of the household.

"But my identity..."

"Don't worry about my identity. I will explain it to my mother myself. You just need to tell me whether you are willing or not."

If Yunxi is willing, he will pave the way for her.

Meeting Shen Rang's gaze, Yun Xi nodded.

He naturally handed her the opportunity; how could she not seize it?

Shen Rang smiled and said, "I'll go tell my mother right away."

After saying this, Shen Rang called Ji Xiang up, then turned and left.

He usually doesn't go out once he's back, so it's really unusual for him to do this today.

"Madam, is something the young master has come up with? Are we still waiting for him to return?"

Yunxi smiled and said, "Of course we have to wait."

"The young master knew that the young mistress had been stripped of her power as head of the household, so he went to get it back for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jixiang's eyes widened.

After the initial shock, Jixiang couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Auntie, did you say something you shouldn't have? What if the young master misunderstands something?"

“I didn’t say anything,” Yunxi said with a smile. “It was the young master who told me.”

Hearing this, Jixiang finally felt relieved.

"Very good!"
