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 472
After several days of travel, the carriage finally entered a tall city gate and, after winding its way through the city, stopped in front of a house.
Yunxi was wrapped up in layers upon layers of clothing, and even wore a veil on her head, making it almost impossible for her to see where she was going. She was helped inside by Jixiang and Le'an.
This is a two-courtyard house. The house has all kinds of furniture, but it lacks personal belongings. Once some furniture is provided, it can be moved in directly.
After escorting Yunxi to her room, Le'an took the money and went out to buy some things.
Duan Huaichuan looked around and then went into the side room, handing her a contract: "This is the land deed for this house. Keep it safe."
Yunxi took off her veil, her eyes filled with complicated emotions: "Brother Huaichuan, you bought this, so you should keep it yourself."
“You bought it,” Duan Huaichuan said, handing the contract forward again. “It was bought with your money. I just asked someone to run errands for me. You should keep it.”
After Yunxi accepted the gift, Duan Huaichuan said, "You can rest here for now. If you don't like living here, you can sell the house and move. But if you want to move, you have to write me a letter so I know where you are."
After a pause, Duan Huaichuan added, "It's also to put the teacher and his wife at ease."
Yunxi nodded: "I understand."
Duan Huaichuan looked at her without saying a word for a long time.
After a while, he said, "I'll go see how Doctor Feng and the others are doing."
"good."
Duan Huaichuan turned and left. Yunxi couldn't help but sigh and handed the contract to Jixiang: "Keep it safe."
"yes."
Jixiang put the contract and the silver notes together, went out for a walk and said, "Miss, this house is in a good location. There's a street right next to it with all kinds of shops. Doctor Feng and the others have rented houses from several families in the area, so we're not all alone anymore."
Yunxi nodded: "That's good."
A short while later, Le'an returned carrying large and small bags.
She put the things on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, all the bedding and other necessities have been bought. I'll take them out to air them right away."
While the sun is shining brightly, let's soak up the sun for as long as we can.
Jixiang also went out to help with the work.
The two set up a frame in the yard and laid out all the quilts and blankets on it.
After all that work, the once spacious courtyard was now reduced to a narrow path barely wide enough for anyone to pass through.
However, things have finally settled down.
This place is located in Jiangnan, very close to where Yunxi grew up, but far from Luoyang and far from him.
Yunxi felt that once she recovered, she could start a new life.
I started a life free from those open and covert attacks.
However, the thought of not being able to avenge her blood feud in her past life still left Yunxi with a feeling of resentment.
I only hope that the child can stay with Mrs. Zheng for the rest of his life, grow up safely and healthily, and have a good future.
With Shen Rang around, at least she doesn't have to worry about her child ending up like she did in her previous life.
That's...not bad, is it?
Yunxi looked up at the clear blue sky outside the window, a stiff and forced smile appearing on her lips.
