Chapter 120
Duan Huaichuan looked at Yunxi, then at Jingyuan, and couldn't help but wonder, "Little sister Xi'er? What are you doing here?"
Yunxi also looked at Jingyuan.
Jing Yuan understood, cupped his hands in greeting, and left first. However, he didn't go far. After making sure that the two people over there couldn't see him, he stopped and quietly stretched out his ears to listen to the sounds from the other side.
“My older sister got married and came here, so I came along... to broaden my horizons,” Yunxi said.
Her explanation is plausible.
Duan Huaichuan understood, his gaze lingering on her clothes for a moment, his eyes darkening slightly.
Yunxi is the legitimate second daughter of the Yun family, yet now she can only wear the same clothes as the servants of the Marquis's mansion...
It seems that the Yun family not only doesn't treat Yun Xi well, but is even quite hostile towards her.
He said calmly, "Your teacher and his wife sent you a lot of things, which are all at my place now. If you have nothing to do later, you can come and pick them up. I reckon they are all things you can use right now."
Yunxi was slightly taken aback.
Did her parents send her something?
Shen Rang just invited her to dinner, so there shouldn't be any rush.
So Yunxi nodded: "Okay, let's go now."
"good."
Jing Yuan sensed something was wrong and quickly appeared, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the two left.
Jing Yuan sighed softly and had no choice but to turn around and hurry to Buweizhai.
At that time, the Buwei Studio, which was usually filled only with the fragrance of books and ink, was now permeated with the unique and domineering aroma of Boxia Gong.
This doesn't look like a place for reading and writing at all; someone who didn't know better would probably think it was a restaurant.
Shen Rang sat behind the desk.
It's impressive that he can still hold a book on one side, but it's hard to tell whether he's actually reading it or not.
Hearing footsteps, Shen Rang subconsciously looked up, only to see Jing Yuan alone.
He glanced behind Jing Yuan a couple more times, and when he didn't see Yun Xi, he asked, "Where is she?"
Jing Yuan walked closer, scratched his head, and said, "...The Second Miss and I were almost there when...we ran into Scholar Duan on the way..."
As he listened to Jing Yuan's words, Shen Rang's eyes grew colder and colder.
The moment she saw Duan Huaichuan, she completely forgot about him.
It's ridiculous that he used to think that Yunxi didn't have feelings for Duan Huaichuan, and that it was just Duan Huaichuan's wishful thinking about Yunxi. But now he's almost certain that the two of them are definitely in love!
Jingyuan felt the growing oppressive atmosphere in the room and subconsciously shrank his neck. He dared not say anything more, but just kept repeating in his heart that he wanted Yunxi to come over quickly.
The dripping water in the room signifies the passage of time.
A quarter of an hour had passed, and Yunxi still hadn't come over.
The oppressive atmosphere in the room grew stronger, and Jing Yuan even broke out in a cold sweat.
Finally, with a muffled thud, Jing Yuan subconsciously looked up and saw Shen Rang slamming the scroll he was holding onto the table.
Shen Rang stood up and said in a cold voice, "Since she left with someone else, let's clear away all the dishes on this table."
So much time has passed, I'm afraid Yunxi is already sitting with Duan Huaichuan, chatting and laughing as they eat.
Jingyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and stepped forward to tidy up, but then stopped: "But Your Highness, won't you eat something?"
Shen Rang glanced at him indifferently.
I'm so angry I'm full, what's the point of eating?
Jing Yuan met his gaze, then silently lowered his eyes and continued tidying up the things on the table.
However, at that moment, Yunxi arrived.
She was carrying two bundles on her back and holding another in her arms, looking as if she had been traveling and had just finished her journey.
Upon seeing her, Jing Yuan hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief before his gaze was drawn to her bundled baggage: "...Where did you come from?"
