Chapter 124
Yunxi returned to Liuyun Garden with light steps, put down her belongings, and then carefully breathed a sigh of relief.
Relieved, Yunxi couldn't help but find it funny.
These things were all made for her by her mother, every stitch a testament to her care and love. But now, these things can't see the light of day. Not only must she hide them on her person and carefully bring them back, but she also has to be extra careful when storing them, never exposing them to the outside world...
Yunxi lowered her eyes, looking at the covers of hand warmers and foot warmers on the bed, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.
Shen Rang is at home today. If anything happens, even if it's just for her father's sake, Shen Rang should be able to come over immediately.
So for her, this was an opportunity.
Yunxi took a deep breath, got up, and called Jixiang over.
Jixiang was still extremely reluctant outside, but once inside, she instantly became respectful: "Miss, what are your orders?"
"Jixiang, you're on my side now, aren't you?"
Upon hearing Yunxi suddenly say such a thing, Jixiang immediately shuddered: "Of course! Miss, now that my indenture is in your hands, I am naturally wholeheartedly devoted to your good!"
Yunxi nodded and held her hand tightly: "There's something I need your help with later."
Jixiang straightened her expression and said, "Please speak, young lady."
Yunxi pursed her lips and said, "Go out quietly in a little while and listen to the noise. If there's a commotion inside, go find the young master immediately."
Upon hearing this, Jixiang's eyes widened: "Miss, you mean...?"
She didn't dare finish her sentence, but Yunxi already understood what she meant and nodded at her.
Upon seeing this, Jixiang also gasped, not out of fear, but out of excitement.
She's finally waited for this day!
"Don't worry, young lady, I will listen carefully to everything!" Jixiang said confidently.
"If this succeeds, I will definitely treat you well."
"yes!"
Now that their interests align, Jixiang naturally does her best. Not long after leaving her room, Jixiang swaggered out.
To outsiders, Jixiang doesn't care about Yunxi at all, and even looks down on her. So they just assume she's gone out to slack off. Although someone saw her, no one took it to heart.
Jixiang dared not go far, so she squatted down in an inconspicuous spot by the wall, nervously listening to the sounds coming from the yard.
Later that evening, Yunxi put everything away and went out.
——
At that time, several bolts of fine fabric were delivered from outside, and Yunwan was carefully selecting them.
"The more it's winter, the less somber the color of your clothes should be, otherwise wouldn't it make you look as withered as everything else?" The woman who delivered the fabric was slightly plump and had a friendly smile. "That's why such bright colors are best. Madam, you have fair skin and excellent temperament. Standing outside like this, you are truly a beautiful flower blooming in winter!"
Every word the woman spoke struck Yun Wan's heart, and Yun Wan's smile never faded: "Madam Bian, I love your clever tongue the most."
