Chapter 429

Yun Wan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger, and a smile appeared on her face: "Sister, although we are not related by blood, we are still sisters in name, and can be considered family. What's the point of fighting like this?"

“It’s good that the young mistress has come to her senses,” Yunxi said with a smile. “If the young mistress is willing to be lenient and spare me and the child in my womb, I will definitely treat the young mistress with respect in the future.”

The two locked eyes, their tension palpable.

"It's such a good thing that the young mistress has been released from confinement. I'll immediately instruct the kitchen to prepare some delicious food for her to try."

After saying that, Yunxi stood up, curtsied to Yunwan, and turned to leave.

She had other things to do and didn't have time to just stand there staring at Yun Wan.

Watching her retreating figure, Yun Wan almost bit her back teeth to pieces.

That bitch is deliberately showing off in front of her!

She flaunts her power over the household and shows off that she has control over everyone in the family!

You bitch!

After leaving Liuyun Garden, Yunxi went straight to Rongxi Hall.

When Madam Zheng saw her coming, she immediately dismissed her formalities and asked her to sit down: "Why did you come all of a sudden?"

"Today, the young mistress's confinement has been lifted. I went to pay my respects to her, but then I remembered that the power to manage the household... should also be handed over, so I came to ask for your opinion, madam."

Hearing Yunxi's words, Madam Zheng's eyes showed even more appreciation.

Yun Wan's confinement was lifted, which she naturally knew, but she didn't expect Yun Xi to come over on her own initiative.

After all, Yunxi now holds the power of managing the household, and the servants obey her every word without question. How glorious she is! If it were someone else, they would probably hold onto this power tightly until they could no longer hold onto it. But Yunxi is so quick to ask to hand over the power of managing the household... She is truly sensible.

Even the sensible Zheng felt a little sorry for her.

They are clearly of the Yun family's true bloodline, yet they have to compromise like this...

Madam Zheng sighed inwardly, but showed no sign of it on her face: "The matter of the stewardship is not urgent. The young mistress has been copying Buddhist scriptures for the past three months, and we don't know how well it has been done yet. Let's wait and see."

She needs to take a good look at Yun Wan to see if she is fit to continue running the household, and absolutely cannot let the same thing happen again.

Yunxi had anticipated Zheng's intentions.

After all, Yun Wan's lending of interest almost damaged the Marquis's reputation, so it would be strange if the Marquis's family let her off so easily.

Yunxi showed no emotion, exchanged a few more casual words with Madam Zheng, and then got up and left.

Several more days passed, and early one morning, a maid from the second gate came to deliver a message to Yunxi, saying that Shu Ningshuang wanted to see her, and the meeting place was arranged to be a teahouse.

Upon hearing this, Jixiang and Le'an immediately frowned.

"Auntie, are you going?"

Yunxi looked at the post and nodded: "Le'an, you know martial arts?"

Le'an nodded quickly: "Yes!"

"Okay, then you'd better stay close to me."

Although Shu Ningshuang and she seem to have formed a delicate alliance, she still has to be wary.

After thinking for a moment, Yunxi added, "Be natural, don't give yourself away."

Le'an nodded again.

So Yunxi changed her clothes again, took Jixiang and Le'an out, and headed straight for the teahouse.
