Chapter 131
The maids in the courtyard hurriedly went to the back courtyard, while Yun Wan strode back to the main hall, downed two cups of tea in a row, and only then was she able to barely suppress the anger in her heart.
After a while, Yunxi didn't come; instead, Jixiang did.
“Young Madam, Second Miss went out early this morning,” Jixiang said. “This servant does not know where she went. If Young Madam has anything to say, please tell this servant. When Second Miss returns, this servant will pass on the message to her.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan became even more furious, and she also looked at Ji Xiang with displeasure: "Mother told you to keep an eye on Yun Xi and monitor her. How did you monitor her? She has already tricked the Prince into wanting to take her as a concubine, and I didn't know anything about it! What are you good for?!"
Under the oppressive force, Jixiang knelt down with a thud: "Young...Young Madam, how could this be? How could Second Miss possibly have such abilities? Is there...some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstanding? My mother-in-law just called me over to talk about this! What misunderstanding could there be!" Yun Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes, too lazy to waste any more words with her. "You can go down now. When Yun Xi comes back, call her to come see me as soon as possible!"
"yes!"
Meanwhile, Yunxi, whom she was thinking about, was sitting comfortably in the Water Pavilion, gazing absently at the vast expanse of blue lake in front of her.
Last night, when the two were being intimate, Shen Rang foresaw that things wouldn't be peaceful today, so he told her to go back and pack her things, and then came to Shuiyanglou overnight.
The beds at Shuiyanglou were soft and spacious. Yunxi had been sleeping on hard wooden beds for a long time, so lying on them felt like being on a cloud. Last night was the best night's sleep she had had since she came to the capital in her previous life.
Opening my eyes, I was no longer in that cramped back room, but in a bright and airy elegant room with a delicate fragrance.
Yunxi took a deep breath, turned around and walked to the other side. Looking at the desolate garden, she felt a little uneasy.
I wonder what's going on outside these days.

At noon, Shen Rang returned.
He first went to Shuiyanglou, and seeing that Yunxi was alright, he then went to Rongxitang with peace of mind.
Mrs. Zheng was having lunch when she was surprised to see her suddenly return.
Upon hearing his explanation of his purpose, Madam Zheng's face darkened, and she felt even more dislike for the woman she had never met before.
Since Shen Rang went to the Hanlin Academy, when has he ever returned at noon?
Because of that woman, Shen Rang now seems almost like a stranger to her!
“I’ve discussed it with your wife, but she doesn’t agree, so there’s nothing I can do,” Madam Zheng’s voice was icy. “After all, the person you want is your wife’s person, and even a concubine needs the mistress’s approval to enter the household, so you should give up on that idea.”
Hearing Zheng's voice, Shen Rang was also extremely puzzled.
He had never seen Zheng Shi look like this before.
"Has Mother seen Chenxi?"
"Not yet," Zheng said. "Why?"
"If Mother had met her, her attitude wouldn't be so harsh."
Zheng sneered, "What, is your sweetheart some kind of flower that everyone has to love?"
She was the first to dislike that scheming and malicious woman!
Shen Rang sighed.
That's all.
The most urgent task now is to uncover Yunxi's true identity.
If Yun Wan doesn't agree, he can find someone else.
