Chapter 118
That night, Yunxi was almost completely exhausted before she went home.
Yunxi slept soundly until dawn. When she woke up, she recalled the events of the previous night and found them magical.
Despite all that commotion last night, she didn't bump her leg even once.
That's really strange.
Yunxi patted her face, got up and washed herself quickly, changed back into her maid's clothes, and opened the window to look outside.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Everyone else is already wearing thick clothes, but she hasn't even seen a trace of them.
However, after not leaving the house for a few days, it felt like the whole world had forgotten me.
Hoping that Yunwan will suddenly become kind is like hoping a sow will fly; simply waiting around like this is not a solution.
Just then, Jixiang came in, looking furious.
"What's wrong?"
When she asked, Jixiang said, "Isn't it cold now? We've all received our new clothes, but yours hasn't arrived yet. I've been asking about it for the past two days, but they just keep making excuses. It's obvious they don't want you to have a good time!"
Ji Xiang couldn't help but feel worried.
Yunxi's clothes are very thin right now. It's not too cold today, so she can manage by wearing more layers. But it will definitely not work later on!
"It's alright," Yunxi had been thinking about this problem, and now she had a solution. "Go and tell Granny Liu to ask Doukou to buy me some warm clothes to wear close to my skin."
She now has money and connections, and is no longer in the situation of her previous life where she could only survive by relying on Yun Wan's charity.
Jixiang then realized what was happening.
Yes! They have connections!
Jixiang slapped her head in annoyance and said, "It was my oversight. I've been so busy urging the people in the manor these past two days that I forgot there were people outside!"
Seeing that Yunxi didn't seem to blame her, Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Then, Miss, I'll talk to Granny Liu when I have some free time this afternoon!"
Yunxi nodded.
——
Jixiang was quick and efficient, as was Doukou outside. Late that night, Jixiang brought the clothes over.
"This servant asked Doukou to buy two outfits from a clothing store first. Miss, you can wear them for now. The custom-made ones will be ready and delivered in a few days." Jixiang was indeed thoughtful.
Yunxi nodded.
Since it's underwear that's close to the skin and can't be seen from the outside, it naturally needs to be of good quality.
It's not like we don't have the conditions now.
With these two thick coats, Yunxi slept much more soundly tonight.
A few days later, Jixiang indeed brought over several more fitted and warmer clothes.
There's nothing to worry about for the next month.
By then, Yunxi's leg had almost fully recovered, and she started walking around the yard again, unable to stay still.
Just then, Jingyuan came over to deliver something to her as usual. Seeing her standing in the courtyard, he stepped forward and said, "Second...Miss Chenxi, is your leg better?"
Yunxi turned around and nodded gently: "I'm almost fully recovered."
After saying that, her gaze fell on the food box in Jingyuan's hand: "What good stuff did you buy today?"
"It's mutton soup," Jing Yuan said with a smile. "It's getting cold now, so drinking something hot is good for your health!"
Yunxi's eyes lit up: "That's great!"
Jingyuan helped Yunxi put the food box on the windowsill. He noticed that Yunxi was walking slowly and knew that her leg must not be fully healed yet. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Yunxi felt embarrassed to keep Jingyuan waiting, so she quickly finished the mutton soup. After finishing, she sighed and couldn't help but say, "Eating something hot really makes me feel much better. If only we had some hot food to eat."
Jing Yuan silently kept her words in mind, stepped forward, picked up the food box, turned and left to report back to Shen Rang.
