Chapter 577

Yunxi didn't dare take her words seriously and just laughed it off.

Just then, someone from outside came to announce that Shen Rang had arrived.

Seeing the undisguised joy on Yunxi's face, the group exchanged glances and let her go.

Once Yunxi left, everyone dispersed.

——

Shen Rang waited in the front hall. When Yun Xi arrived, there was still no one in the front hall.

Shen Rang's complexion had not yet recovered and was still somewhat pale.

Yunxi felt sorry for you: "Didn't you get a doctor to take a look at you?"

"I did see a doctor, and he said it wasn't anything serious and I'd recover with some rest," Shen Rang said. "Don't worry, the doctor said I'm in good health and nothing will happen."

Hearing this, Yunxi felt a little relieved.

It's quite awkward, really. The two of them are clearly the closest of friends, but now in the Prince's mansion, they can only stay in the front hall, maintaining the same distance as the guests.

Shen Rang was not satisfied with this.

But Yunxi didn't notice anything amiss.

It wasn't until Shen Rang finally couldn't help but bring it up that Yun Xi belatedly realized what was going on: "Do you want to go and see my courtyard?"

As soon as she finished speaking, there seemed to be a commotion outside the hall.

Yunxi turned her head to look, but found nothing.

Chen Rang, with his excellent hearing, picked up the faint sound of teeth grinding coming from outside.

A slight smile curved his lips: "I haven't seen Nianchu in a long time either."

Yunxi nodded: "Then let's go."

The two went out together, but the main hall was empty and there was no one in sight.

After the two had gone some distance, the group emerged from the inconspicuous base of the wall.

Zhong Jie was furious: "That brat, his behavior is too dissolute! He's only been back for a short time, how come he's already going to Xi'er's courtyard!"

Madam Chen twitched the corner of her mouth and reminded them, "Those two already have a child."

The child is already over a year old.

But Zhong Jie still couldn't accept it.

She couldn't accept it. Her daughter had just been found, and she hadn't even had a chance to properly make it up to her before she was already married off to someone else!

She frowned and said, "Why don't we let that boy from the Shen family marry into our family? That way, Xi'er won't have to leave us."

Madam Chen reminded her again: "Young Master Shen is a brilliant scholar who has passed the imperial examinations in three consecutive years. Moreover, he is the only son of the Shen family. It is probably unrealistic to expect him to marry into the family."

It's not just unrealistic, it's downright unrealistic!

Zhong Jie sighed heavily and was about to follow when Madam Chen stopped her.

"Alright, they're just the young couple spending time alone. Let's not follow them."

Mrs. Chen has principles, but clearly, Zhong Jie only cares about her own daughter. Principles? They don't exist.

However, with Madam Chen watching over her, Zhong Jie couldn't very well follow them.

The two sat down in the front hall, and Zhong Jie sighed every now and then, looking like she was full of bitterness and resentment.

However, the young couple on the other side were completely unaware of what was happening in the front hall and were strolling around Shanshui Residence together.

Shen Rang seemed very curious about everything at Shanshui Residence, holding Yunxi close and not leaving her side. As for Shen Nianchu?

Since the moment Shen Rang stepped into Shanshui Residence, he has never been mentioned again. At this moment, he is being held by his wet nurse and watching his biological parents from a distance. He tries his best to hug them, but all his efforts are in vain.

Just when Yunxi was about to notice his movements, she would be drawn to Shen Rang's actions.

Poor Shen Nianchu could only watch helplessly, unable to participate at all.
