Chapter 149
When Yunxi was still living in her courtyard, Shen Rang would come back from time to time, but now he has completely stopped coming!
So you only came before because of Yunxi?!
That's ridiculous!
Seeing that Yun Wan's complexion was not good, Pearl served her very carefully.
“Young Madam, don’t you know how seductive that woman is? The young master used to be averse to women, how could he possibly resist such tactics?” Pearl said. “However, seductive tactics are ultimately not respectable. Don’t worry, the young master will probably be back in a few days.”
"In a few days?" Yun Wan sneered. "The young master and I are still newlyweds, and he hasn't come to my room for several days already. If this gets out in a few more days, what face will I have left in the capital?"
Not long ago, there were rumors in the capital that Shen Rang brought her food every day. It hasn't been that long. If rumors were to spread that Shen Rang no longer comes to her courtyard, I wonder how many jokes that would be made!
“Young Madam, you’re overthinking it,” Pearl said. “The people in our courtyard are all tight-lipped and won’t go around talking about it.”
“The people in our courtyard don’t gossip, but there are so many servants outside. Can you guarantee they won’t gossip?” Yun Wan became more and more annoyed. “Alright, alright, stop talking.”
Pearl dared not speak again. After serving Yun Wan her wash, she quietly withdrew.
That night, some people couldn't sleep alone, while others slept soundly, their bodies intertwined.
The next day, Shen Rang didn't have to get up early, and the two of them stayed in bed for a while, until it was fully light before getting up to wash and get ready.
After getting ready, the two stood together in front of the life-size bronze mirror.
Shen Rang was dressed in brocade robes, and his accessories were also very expensive, while Yun Xi's most decent clothes were just plain clothes, and she didn't have any jewelry. When the two of them stood together, it was as if two worlds that should not have intersected had suddenly collided, and it looked out of place no matter how you looked at it.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Yunxi felt a little embarrassed.
"Your Highness, perhaps I shouldn't go out?"
“No,” Shen Rang said without hesitation, “I’m going out today to buy you things, how can you not go?”
As he spoke, he put his arm around the person and led them out the door: "Let's go buy some clothes first."
Shen Rang led her straight to the best embroidery workshop in the capital.
Every woman coming and going in Qiluo Fang was of noble birth, dressed in brocade and jewels, surrounded by attendants. In comparison, Yunxi's extremely simple attire stood out even more.
From the moment she entered Qiluofang, she noticed that many people were staring at her.
Not all of these looks were friendly.
Yunxi subconsciously clenched her hands to maintain her composure.
Just then, a large, dry hand firmly grasped her hand in its palm.
Yunxi was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked to her side, only to see that Shen Rang was also looking at her.
His gaze was calm, seemingly without any emotion, but at this moment, Yunxi could draw strength from his eyes.
Even though Yunxi came in with Shen Rang, before Shen Rang made this move, everyone thought the two had no relationship.
But this simple action caused everyone's expression to change, and whispers and murmurs arose around them.
"What's going on? Why is Young Master Shen behaving so intimately with such a poor girl?"
"Yes, didn't they say that Young Master Shen and Young Madam Shen had a very good relationship? Young Master Shen even brought her snacks every day. How come Young Master Shen has a new love interest now? And a... girl like that?"
"Oh, Miss Shu is over there. She's very close to Mrs. Shen, she might know what's going on!"
So everyone huddled around Shu Ningshuang, who also looked bewildered, and started asking her all at once.
Shu Ningshuang was squeezed in the middle and could only watch helplessly as Shen Rang led the woman she had never met before into the room.
She had no time to deal with others, so she made up an excuse and hurriedly headed towards the Marquis of Changping's residence.
