Chapter 98

Shen Rang drank wine tonight, and since he didn't have to get up early to go to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow, he indulged himself extra freely.

Yunxi was exhausted. In the end, she could only walk by holding her waist with one hand and the wall with the other.

Even though the side room was dimly lit, she could still feel Yun Wan's murderous gaze fixed on her, piercing her bones.

"My sister has really worked hard," Yun Wan squeezed out the words through gritted teeth. "I hope my sister can live up to my expectations and not let down all the plans I've made for her!"

A hint of mockery flashed in Yunxi's eyes.

Yun Wan's scheme against her?

They were planning how to make her death seem legitimate!

She doesn't need it.

Before Yunxi could speak, Yunwan had already started walking away.

Yunxi gritted her teeth, left the side room, and took Jixiang's hand before returning to her room safely.

"Miss, please rest for a while and don't fall asleep. I'll go and prepare a contraceptive soup for you."

Yunxi hummed in response, half-dead, and leaned against the bed. She forced herself to drink the contraceptive soup, then collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Yunxi was still fast asleep, but the person who had indulged in a night of revelry was already up.

Recalling the events of last night, Shen Rang felt a tightness in his throat.

Shen Rang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.

That girl must be feeling unwell today. We should call a doctor for her or send her some medicine.

The moment this thought crossed Shen Rang's mind, he froze.

Logically speaking, the two of them shouldn't have known each other.

He was already incredibly fortunate to know that the person he slept with every night was Yunxi, but that was all.

Even knowing she was injured, even knowing she was in pain, he couldn't do anything for her.

Because the two of them shouldn't have met in the first place...

The more Shen Rang thought about it, the more agitated he became. Just then, a soft body pressed against him from behind: "Husband, is something on your mind? Perhaps I can help you relieve your worries."

Shen Rang immediately stood up: "...No."

He got up very quickly, so quickly that it was as if he had been touched by something unclean, an instinctive reaction.

Seeing this, Yun Wan felt a pang of indescribable bitterness in her heart.

They are a legally married couple!

He was so passionate with another woman last night, and now he's doing the same with her...

Thinking of this, Yun Wan had an idea.

Does he really not know that there is someone else sharing his bed every night?

Shen Rang didn't even glance at her, and naturally didn't notice her unusual behavior. He had already finished dressing and said, "I'm going to the front."

Even if he didn't have to work shifts, he didn't want to be with Yun Wan.

Everything outside is proceeding as planned.

It was still early, and the court assembly had not yet ended, so the Crown Prince was reading in the Eastern Palace.

After the Crown Princess finished getting ready, seeing that he was free, she came over and asked, "Your Highness said yesterday that the heir of the Shen family has already pledged allegiance. When does Your Highness plan to start working on the matter of the heir returning to the Hanlin Academy?"

“There’s no need to do anything,” the prince said casually, turning a page. “It’s just a matter of a few words, but we’ll talk about that in a few days.”

The Crown Princess was somewhat puzzled: "Your Highness means..."
