Chapter 126
Yunxi was sent back to the back room.
The thought of the desolate courtyard just moments ago chilled Yunxi's heart.
It seems that Shen Rang was unable to come.
Then all her words just now were wasted.
Yunxi sighed, her gaze falling on the locked cabinet, a hint of resentment appearing in her eyes.
She had thought Yun Wan would make things difficult for her for a while, but she didn't expect her to be so quick and send her back in such a short time.
Even if she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do but look for another opportunity.
Fortunately, the excuse she came up with this time was reasonable, and Yun Wan should not suspect that she had ulterior motives.
——
However, the reality was completely different from what Yunxi had imagined.
There was indeed no movement in the courtyard, but Shen Rang was there, though he didn't show himself.
He stood behind the screen wall, and he heard every word Yun Wan and Yun Xi said clearly.
Although Madam Chen sent Yunxi some warm clothes, perhaps at Yunwan's behest, Yunxi was only allowed to wear maid's clothes when moving around in the Marquis's mansion, so Yunxi couldn't wear the clothes that Madam Chen sent.
It was just for a thick coat, yet that girl struggled so much, while Yun Wan...
Yun Wan said that no one in the capital liked Yun Xi, but that was wrong.
Shen Rang took a deep breath.
That's all.
Shen Rang ultimately did not show up, but returned to Shuiyanglou.
A short while later, Jingyuan came out and carried in several jars of wine.
From dusk till nightfall, Shen Rang's face was flushed and he was completely drunk.
The last jar of wine finally dried up, and only then did Chen Rang get up from the couch.
"Go back to the backyard."
After drinking too much, his figure and gait were no longer as steady as before, and he looked as if a jade mountain was about to collapse.
Fortunately, Jingyuan was also a martial artist, and he supported him all the way, steadily helping him back to the backyard.
Yun Wan had already gone to sleep when she heard the door open. She groggily opened her eyes and realized that it was Shen Rang who had returned.
"Husband?" Yun Wan quickly got up, wanting to help him up, but Shen Rang avoided her.
"...I've had too much to drink, please forgive me, Madam," Shen Rang said, sitting on the bed with one hand resting on his lap and the other on his temple. "...I'm in a rare mood tonight, is it convenient for you, Madam?"
He had drunk too much, and Yun Wan didn't dare to sleep next to him, fearing that something might happen in her drowsy state in the middle of the night. So she quickly said, "Of course I have some. Husband, please wait for me a moment. I'll go and get ready and come right away."
Upon hearing Shen Rang's "hmm," Yun Wan quickly went to the side room.
Pearl had already gone back to sleep, so Yun Wan had to go to the back room herself and call Yun Xi out.
Yunxi was listless all day, and didn't even have the energy to eat. She went to bed as soon as it got dark, and was woken up by Yunwan. She had already taken a nap.
Seeing Yunxi's dazed state, Yunwan gritted her teeth, wishing she could slap her to wake her up: "Wake up! The young master has drunk too much, you go and serve him properly!"
Yunxi remained unmoved.
Although she couldn't get what she wanted to do, she still needed warm clothes as a second-best option.
She stood still and said, "Young Madam, I've caught a chill. It wouldn't be good if I passed on my illness to the young master. Let's call it a day."
Yun Wan stared at her, incredulous. "Are you crazy? I came all the way here to call you, and you're putting on airs?!"
Yunxi neither spoke nor made a move.
She could do that, but Yun Wan dared not delay any longer, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! It's just thick clothes and thick bedding, I'll have someone send them to you tomorrow! Now you go and serve the young master properly!"
"......yes."
