Yun Xi was displaced in the countryside for seventeen years. One day, she was found, only to tragically die on a rainy night.
She was forced to be a surrogate for her legitimate elder sister,...
Chapter 462
Although Jixiang was reluctant to break the tender moment between the mother and son, considering their current situation, after much hesitation, she finally spoke up: "Auntie..."
Seeing that Yunxi had come to her senses, Jixiang said, "Auntie, the situation is really bad right now. When I went to fetch Doctor Wei for you, I was stopped outside by the Marquis and Concubine Chen. It seems they want to..."
Jixiang pursed her lips and then said, "There's no need to say more about how the young mistress treats you. Given the current situation at home, Aunt, you need to come up with a plan for what we should do!"
"Don't panic." Yunxi gave a slight smile.
Her voice was hoarse, yet as gentle and firm as ever.
"Has the Crown Prince not come out yet?"
Jixiang nodded: "Yes!"
She had a vague idea in her mind.
Perhaps Shen Jun is planning to wait until Yun Xi and her unborn child die before making Shen give up the position!
When that time comes, Shen Rang will have no more attachments or worries in his heart, and there will be no more rumors circulating outside. Wouldn't Shen Rang be able to go back to the way he was before?
As for Yunxi's life, they never cared about it from the very beginning!
Le'an continued, "Jingyuan just came quietly and said that the young master is being held in Buweizhai. All the doors and windows are nailed shut, and there are guards outside. I'm afraid the young master... won't be able to get out for a while."
really!
Yunxi struggled to sit up.
She took a breath and said, "Le'an, hurry up and go to Rongxi Hall."
"I...want to see the madam."
Le'an's eyes widened: "Auntie, it's too late now, how about..."
Yunxi shook her head: "Just go and say that. Madam will see me."
Le'an was about to say a few more words of advice, but when she met Jixiang's gaze, she had no choice but to turn around and leave.
Yunxi looked up at Doctor Wei and said, "I am grateful that you made this special trip for me. I am currently busy and I am afraid I cannot see you out. Please forgive me."
"......"
Doctor Wei looked at her, his brows furrowed deeply: "What are your plans next, Aunt?"
"It's not that I'm being nosy, but a woman's body is weak after childbirth. My aunt had a sudden miscarriage and should take extra care of herself. As a doctor, I really don't want to see my aunt dig her own grave."
Yunxi twitched the corner of her mouth: "My lord, you are a benevolent doctor. I don't want to die either, but if I'm forced to sit here now, I'll only have one way out: death."
As soon as it gets light, Shen Jun and Yun Wan will definitely not let her go.
Seeing this, Doctor Wei sighed and stepped back a few paces: "I will wait here for Auntie to return."
Yunxi looked at her intently and whispered her thanks.
Doctor Wei waved his hand and told Jixiang to find a hooded cloak and wrap Yunxi up tightly inside.
Yunxi bent down, picked up the swaddled baby, and left with Jixiang.
Halfway there, they ran into Le'an: "Madam has already gotten up and is waiting for you."
Yunxi nodded, and quickened her pace.
By this time, the night was already very deep, the moonlight had dimmed, and the sun had not yet risen. The three of them, master and servant, hurried towards Rongxi Hall, relying only on a lantern to light their way.
Rongxi Hall.
Madam Zheng had already put on her outer garment and was sitting in the hall.
Seeing Yunxi arrive, they quickly asked Zhou's mother to bring her a cup of warm water.
"Please sit down."
