Chapter 123
It's obviously intentional.
Poor silly girl, she thought Yun Wan had forgotten about her because she hadn't been around much...
For a moment, Shen Rang didn't know what to say.
He sighed heavily and said, "I will find an opportunity to talk to the young mistress."
Yunxi looked up at him, a grateful smile on her face: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
After saying that, Yunxi lowered her head again and continued to sort through the things that Madam Chen had sent her.
Besides winter clothes, there were hand warmers and foot warmers that Madam Chen bought, and she also embroidered several different colored and patterned covers for her according to her size. In addition, there were smoked chicken and cured meat wrapped in several layers of oil paper, all of which were made by Madam Chen herself. The rest were all things for a young lady to dress up.
These few bundles contain all the necessary food, clothing, warmth, and adornments. With these bundles, Yunxi could survive for two days even in the wilderness.
In addition, there was a letter from home.
Every word on the document was a careful instruction from Chen Zongwen and his wife, telling her not to cause trouble in the capital, but not to be afraid of trouble either. If things got really bad, she could just go back to Qingshui Village. They also told her to eat and sleep well, and if she was unhappy staying there, she could go back to Qingshui Village. If all else failed, she could send a letter home and they would come to pick her up.
As Yunxi looked at it, tears welled up in her eyes without her realizing it.
The next moment, a thick handkerchief was handed to her. Yunxi subconsciously looked up and met Shen Rang's eyes.
His gaze was indifferent, but unlike his usual coldness, it seemed to carry a hint of...heartache.
Is he feeling sorry for her?
The moment this thought arose, Yunxi's mind suddenly and uncontrollably veered in a strange direction—
Is it because of her father that she feels sorry for her again?
Seeing Yunxi staring at him in a daze, Shen Rang handed the handkerchief forward again: "Wipe yourself."
"......oh."
Yunxi took the handkerchief and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her gaze fell on the handkerchief, and she hesitated: "Young Master, this handkerchief... should I wash it and send it over?"
"No need."
Shen Rang had already taken the handkerchief back, folded it, and put it back into his sleeve.
"What do you plan to do with these things?"
Yunxi lowered her head.
She doesn't need clothes for the time being, and she can't take smoked chicken and cured meat back with her. She just needs to carry her hand warmer, foot warmer, and other small items with her.
"But...isn't it inappropriate to hang smoked chicken and cured meat in the Water Pavilion?"
The Water Pavilion has an elegant setting, but hanging up a few smoked chickens and cured meats... makes it seem a bit too rustic.
“The Water Pavilion is too damp, so it’s not suitable to hang these things there. Let’s leave them at Buweizhai,” Shen Rang said. “There’s also a kitchen in the front yard. Come over whenever you want to eat, and I’ll have someone cook for you.”
Yunxi nodded.
Hanging a few smoked chickens and cured meats in the quiet space of a study... feels a bit out of place.
There's nothing we can do about it.
She can't take it back.
"Then thank you very much, Your Highness."
Seeing Yunxi smile again, Chen Rang felt a slight sense of relief; "It's alright."
By the time I finally emerged from Buweizhai, half the afternoon had already passed.
Yunxi was bundled up, but her steps were much lighter than when she came.
