Chapter 147
But this second daughter is really too pitiful.
Am I supposed to stay here forever with this shady identity?
Once Jing Yuan started thinking about it, he couldn't stop, and his face fell, causing Yun Xi to look at him several times.
Seeing that he seemed to be deep in thought about something, Yunxi didn't want to disturb him, so she stepped into the courtyard first.
Yun Wan looked up and saw Yun Xi coming over. She smiled and said, "I underestimated you. You actually had the guts to come back."
Yunxi curtsied: "The young master has arranged another place for me to stay in the backyard. I've come to pick up some things."
"Ha," Yun Wan sneered disdainfully, "You think the Crown Prince arranging accommodations for you means he cares about you?"
"Even if you're keeping a cat or dog, you still need to provide a cage, right?"
"Take it if you want, it's just a bunch of junk, leaving it here only brings bad luck!"
Just as Yun Wan finished speaking, Jing Yuan and Le An walked in.
These two were, after all, people close to Shen Rang, so Yun Wan couldn't be too harsh in front of them and simply went back inside.
As for Yunxi, she had long been used to Yunwan's indifference towards her, and now that Yunwan was not around, she felt a little more relaxed.
Upon arriving at the backyard, Yunxi first knocked on Jixiang's door: "It's me."
Almost the instant she uttered those words, the door was flung open from the inside.
"Miss!" Jixiang cried, tears welling in her eyes. "Waaah, Miss, I thought you didn't want me anymore!"
Yunxi hasn't returned for several days, and there's been no news of her at all. Jixiang has thought more than once that she's been abandoned, and she's been overthinking things for days, wondering what awaits her if Yunxi really has abandoned her.
"How could I not want you?"
This was the first person she had completely controlled, even the contract of indenture.
Yunxi patted Jixiang on the shoulder: "Pack your things, let's find a better place to stay."
"Um!"
To outsiders, this scene was a testament to the deep bond between master and servant, where the master, having risen to great heights, still remembered his former servant.
Jingyuan and Le'an exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with even more respect as they looked at Yunxi.
Yunxi was completely unaware of this. Instead, she returned to her previous room, retrieved all the things that Madam Chen had sent her, put them in her bundle along with the wooden rabbit, and then turned and left.
"Le'an, could you please help me tidy up?"
She had quite a lot of things, and her leg was really inconvenient.
Le'an naturally nodded in agreement.
She came to Yunxi's side as a maid, so naturally they had to work together.
With Le'an's help, everything inside and outside the house was quickly tidied up and packed into several bundles.
When they went out, Jingyuan somehow got hold of a cart.
The master and servant's belongings were placed on the platform, and the entire shipment could be transported in one trip.
The group returned to the courtyard and began arranging their belongings. Before they knew it, it was getting dark outside.
When Shen Rang returned, the house had been completely renovated. The writing implements he had given to Yun Xi were now on the desk, and the once empty cabinet now contained several women's clothes. The traces of life had only increased slightly, but it still made people feel very warm.
Except... that rabbit.
The crudely carved wooden rabbit was placed on the desk, among several expensive writing implements, looking somewhat ridiculous.
"I haven't even been up to the second floor yet, it's not tidied up," Yunxi said somewhat awkwardly. "I don't have anything decent to offer, I'm not worthy of such a fine room, please don't laugh at me, Your Highness..."
“No,” Shen Rang said, turning his gaze away from the rabbit. “They’re all fine.”
Except for that ugly rabbit.
