Chapter 415

"Oh my, this is your distant relative's child! She's so beautiful!" A woman's eyes lit up as soon as she saw Yunxi.

Madam Yun forced a smile, which looked somewhat awkward.

A mocking glint flashed in Yunxi's eyes.

No wonder I didn't feel ashamed of her today, but instead asked her to come out and meet the guests. It turns out they gave her the identity of a distant relative.

Jixiang lowered her head and couldn't help but purse her lips.

She understood Madam Yun quite well and found Madam Yun's current behavior of wanting her biological daughter to celebrate her birthday with her, yet not wanting to acknowledge her, extremely distasteful.

Yun Wan walked over to Shu Ning Shuang and affectionately took her arm: "Ning Shuang, why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Shu Ningshuang looked at her as if she were a stranger.

She really didn't recognize Yun Wan anymore.

They used to be best friends, how did things end up like this?

Why does she have to steal her husband away?

Shu Ningshuang's eyes were red.

She wanted to question him loudly, but remembering what Yunxi had just said, she swallowed back the words that were about to come out and forced a smile: "Isn't it because my aunt told me to look for your cousin? I walked around the yard for a long time but I couldn't find him."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ruiyang quickly walked over to her, his arm loosely encircling her waist, his face full of self-reproach: "It's all my fault, I've made you suffer."

To outsiders, his actions appeared intimate, but only they knew that Yun Ruiyang hadn't actually touched her.

However, it was fortunate that Yun Ruiyang didn't touch her, otherwise Shu Ningshuang felt that she might have thrown up on the spot!

Seeing the two acting so intimately, everyone couldn't help but tease them a bit before taking their seats.

Shu Ningshuang ate her meal without tasting it.

After the meal, Yunxi prepared to leave, just like any other guest who came to visit.

But Madam Yun quickly grabbed her and led her to her courtyard, where she had someone bring her a cup of warm water.

"How is the courtyard I arranged for you? If there's anything you're not used to or if you want to add anything, just let me know. Don't be shy!" Madam Yun said with a smile.

Yunxi smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't come back very often. If Madam thinks it's good, then it's good."

Madam Yun's smile froze on her face.

Yunxi's words meant that Madam Yun could only deceive herself and fool herself.

After a moment, Madam Yun chuckled twice: "You child, you're not still blaming me, are you?"

"Mother knows that losing you was my oversight, but since we found you, we've not only given you such a good marriage, but also a token to withdraw four thousand taels of silver every month. Isn't that enough?"

“Of course it’s enough, I wouldn’t dare complain to you, Madam.”

"It's good that you know how to be grateful!" Madam Yun smiled again. "Now that you're carrying the Marquis's child, is the pregnancy still stable?"

Yunxi nodded.

"That's good." Madam Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Yunxi was wondering why Madam Yun had inexplicably kept her behind and said so many strange things, Madam Yun finally got to the point: "You are now the most precious person in the young master's heart, so you should also think about the young master. You are pregnant, how can you serve the young master? It's not right to let the young master keep enduring it, is it? Besides, Wanwan is your own sister, so you should take care of her at this time!"
