Chapter 111
"yes!"
Two rough-looking old women, having received their orders, dragged Yunxi away. Pearl then found two meticulous maids who carefully swept and cleaned the area, even burning incense to make it appear completely normal.
Only then did Yun Wan feel relieved.
Behind her, two rough old women dragged Yunxi back to the back, not even having the patience to properly take her home. When they reached the door, they shoved it hard, and seeing Yunxi fall to the ground, the two old women snorted, closed the door, and left.
Yunxi struggled to get up, ignoring her knees that were starting to ache again. She gulped down several mouthfuls of cold tea to barely dispel the burning sensation in her throat before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Recalling what had just happened, Yunxi gritted her teeth, barely able to suppress the hatred in her heart.
She had long known that Yun Wan didn't treat her like a human being, but when she was treated like this again, she still couldn't help but feel a surge of hatred in her heart.
If Yun Wan hadn't been in such a hurry to bring her back, she probably would have been exposed.
Just then, Jixiang rushed back and was startled to see her in such a disheveled state: "Miss, what happened to you... Shall I change your clothes?"
Her hair was disheveled, and a patch of her clothes at the chest was soaked with brown medicine, making her look extremely disheveled.
Yunxi shook her head: "No need."
That's fine.
Yunxi's eyes flickered: "What were you doing just now?"
“I just went to look for Mama Zheng,” Jixiang sighed. “Unfortunately, I searched the whole courtyard but couldn’t find her. I don’t know where the young mistress has transferred her.”
Yunxi nodded gently and said softly, "I want to sit by myself for a while. Jixiang, you should go back."
Jixiang wanted to say something more, but Yunxi had already turned her head to the other side.
This means they don't want to talk anymore.
Jixiang sighed and finally withdrew.
Yunxi sat there for most of the day.
The hot medicine on her chest had turned cold without her noticing, and was eventually dried by her body heat. Yunxi was completely unaware of this; she just sat blankly by the window, her gaze fixed on the wooden rabbit carving.
As darkness fell, a familiar figure appeared at the window.
Yunxi's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she had just come back to her senses.
Seeing Shen Rang's astonished gaze, Yun Xi subconsciously raised her hand and slammed the window shut.
Even with the window closed, Shen Rang did not leave; his tall figure was still reflected in the window.
After a long silence, a voice finally rang out from outside: "What... is wrong?"
Yunxi pursed her lips: "...It's nothing."
After saying that, Yunxi got up, blew out the oil lamp, and went back to bed.
Looking into the darkness inside, Shen Rang unconsciously tightened his grip, causing the wooden handle to creak as if in mourning.
After a long while, Shen Rang took a deep breath and placed the food box on the windowsill: "I brought you some easy-to-digest food, eat some of it."
"...Wait for me."
