Chapter 156
The news that Shen Rang had threatened to kill himself for Yun Xi quickly reached the ears of Madam Zheng and Yun Wan.
"It's bad enough that the father is like this, but I've put in so much effort, and yet I've raised such a son!" The usually composed Madam Zheng was so angry that she almost ground her back teeth to powder. "There's definitely something wrong with the Shen family's ancestral graves!"
Madam Zhou quickly handed her tea: "Madam, please calm down! The young master was just blinded for a moment and acted impulsively. He'll be fine in a few days. Please don't let this upset you and harm your health!"
“Now it seems that girl’s methods are much more sophisticated than Aunt Chen’s. Who knows what will happen in the future!” Madam Zheng took a sip of tea, and her expression improved. “No, that girl absolutely cannot enter the family, otherwise Zirong will end up like his father, ruined by women for the rest of his life, and he’ll never be able to get ahead!”
For a moment, Zhou's mother didn't know what to say.
Although Madam Zheng didn't say it, she had always regarded Consort Chen as a thorn in her side. Now that Chenxi, who looked so much like Consort Chen, had also set her sights on Shen Rang, Madam Zheng would definitely not let it go.
After a moment of silence, Madam Zhou said, "But Madam, I'm afraid we shouldn't do anything more to that person. After all, the young master made some harsh remarks today. If something happens to that person, then the young master..."
After hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, Mrs. Zheng was completely at a loss.
Her son has already threatened to kill himself, is she really going to drive her son to his death for the sake of another woman?
This matter can only be considered in the long run.
——
No matter how dangerous the day's events were, they would all be forgotten after a good night's sleep.
Yunxi got up early to help Chenrang get dressed, but instead of going back to sleep, she called Jixiang over.
Jixiang was in high spirits: "Young lady, what can I do for you?"
Yunxi looked her over and asked, "Are you comfortable sleeping here?"
Jixiang nodded: "Don't worry, girl, I'm used to it."
The courtyard is spacious, and most importantly, it doesn't feel cramped like the back room. Even though she shares a bedroom with Le'an now, once the curtains are drawn, it becomes a private world where no one can disturb the other.
"That's good," Yunxi said with a smile. "Come closer."
Once Jixiang was beside her, Yunxi lowered her voice and said, "Go and tell Granny Liu to keep a close watch on the side gate as before, and not to have any other ideas. If anything happens here, we'll still need to contact her."
Her affair has already caused unrest in the Marquis's mansion, and Granny Liu probably already knows about it. To prevent Granny Liu from having any other ideas, Yunxi felt it would be better to go and tell her.
"Young lady, you'll soon be a concubine, so you won't need Granny Liu's help anymore, right?" Jixiang said. "At that time, I don't know how many people will be eager to serve you!"
She could already imagine Yunxi becoming a concubine, being pampered by Shen Rang, and wielding great power in the Marquis's mansion!
Hearing her words, Yunxi couldn't help but smile bitterly to herself.
Why would they eagerly serve her?
It would be more like we're eager to trip her up!
"Every possible path is a path. In any case, there absolutely cannot be any changes on Granny Liu's side. You must deliver this message."
Seeing this, Jixiang had no choice but to nod; "Then this servant will go in a moment."
"Be careful not to let anyone else see it."
"yes."
——
Because of Shen Rang's threat of suicide yesterday, even though Zheng Shi and Yun Wan harbored deep hatred, they dared not take any further action, and the Marquis's mansion thus returned to calm.
However, things are not peaceful outside.
In order to avenge Yun Wan, Shu Ning Shuang used almost all her connections in the capital. In less than a day, the news that Shen Rang had been bewitched by a fox spirit spread throughout the capital.
The words were unpleasant, so Doukou didn't spread the news into the manor. Yunxi was unaware of it and was therefore unaffected, but Shen Rang couldn't escape it.
The Censorate acted swiftly, reporting the news to the Emperor before the morning was even over.
