Chapter 427

"Don't worry, my relationship with your third sister wasn't exactly good to begin with. If she suddenly brought me a bowl of herbal medicine, I wouldn't drink it," Yunxi said with a smile. "But what about you? How are your marriage preparations going?"

Yao Susu sighed deeply.

"Don't even mention it, it's just too much trouble."

She was already overwhelmed just preparing her wedding dress and other items, and then Luo would occasionally ask her to look at her dowry list, which made her even more stressed.

Seeing her looking so troubled, Yunxi felt a pang of sympathy and couldn't help but feel a moment of disorientation.

This kind of busyness is normal, isn't it?

Thinking of her supposed marriage, Yunxi's eyes dimmed, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.

Just then, Madam Zheng arrived.

Knowing that Yunxi hadn't taken a drop of medicine, Madam Zheng sighed and said, "Don't worry, Madam Yao has already said that she'll be sent to an inn outside immediately and won't be allowed to stay in the Marquis's mansion anymore."

Yunxi curtsied and said, "Thank you, Madam."

“...Auntie.” Yao Susu called out timidly.

Madam Zheng glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, this was all Yao Duoduo's doing. At most, it's your mother's fault for not managing the household properly. It won't involve you at all."

Hearing this, Yao Susu was relieved: "Auntie, thank you."

Madam Zheng shook her head, then called over Jixiang and Le'an to give them a thorough dressing-down.

Seeing that Yunxi's complexion was not good, Madam Zheng assumed that she was frightened, so she took Yao Susu with her and left.

Bai Ju calmed down again.

Jixiang stepped forward and said, "Auntie, shall we go back and rest for a while?"

Yunxi shook her head: "I'm not tired."

She was just inexplicably feeling a little down.

She took a deep breath: "Jixiang, go and tell the servants to keep their mouths shut and not let the young master know about what happened today."

Anyway, she's fine.

Ji Xiang responded and left.

But Shen found out when he came back that night.

After all, this matter had spread to the front yard, and Jing Er knew about it, so naturally Shen Rang knew about it as well.

Knowing that Yunxi was alright and the culprit had been sent away, Shen Rang breathed a sigh of relief and didn't show anything in front of Yunxi.

After they both took a bath, they lay on the bed. Yunxi looked at the faint dark circles under his eyes and reached out to touch them.

Shen Rang let her do as she pleased until Yun Xi tried to pull her hand away, at which point he grabbed her wrist: "Are you blaming me for not spending enough time with you?"

"No, I don't blame you."

"Is it that you really don't blame her, or that you dare not blame her?" Shen Rang stared at her intently.

Yunxi looked away.

She didn't know either.

Now that she has reached this point, with a legitimate identity and the power to manage the household, all of this was given to her by Shen, so logically, she shouldn't ask Shen to give up anything more.

But even she herself didn't know what was going on. After becoming pregnant, she missed Shen Rang more than ever before and wanted him to be with her.

But Chen was busy with other matters.

She had already done her best to keep these words to herself, so when Shen Rang asked her, she didn't want to lie to him or herself, and could only remain silent instinctively.
