Chapter 158
Having anticipated that Yun Changliang didn't want to get involved, Shen Rang curled his lips and said, "Since Father-in-law is confident in entrusting everything to me, I'll ask for leave in a couple of days and take Yunxi back to acknowledge her ancestors. What do you think, Father-in-law?"
Now that Shen Jun and Zheng Shi want to get rid of Yun Xi as soon as possible, and Yun Wan has always disliked Yun Xi, this path is definitely not going to work.
If we want Yunxi to come into the family, we have to get the Yun family involved.
They have to do this effort, whether they want to or not.
Yun Changliang was immediately stunned.
How could the noble and refined Prince Shen resort to such tricks?!
"Son-in-law..."
Ignoring that Yun Changliang still had something to say, Shen Rang cupped his hands in greeting and left first.
Yun Changliang stared at his retreating figure, speechless for a long time.
Yun Changliang seemed somewhat absent-minded throughout the afternoon.
As soon as he got back that evening, he couldn't wait to go to Madam Yun's courtyard and tell her to talk to Yun Wan the next day about letting Yun Xi into the mansion.
"Still talking?" Madam Yun exclaimed in surprise. "My lord, things have already escalated to this point. We're trying to avoid this mess, how can we possibly want to get involved?"
“If you don’t get things sorted out quickly, our son-in-law will personally bring Yunxi back in a few days to acknowledge her ancestors!” Yun Changliang said. “We can still control the situation now that we’ve taken the initiative, but on that day, we’ll truly lose face!”
"Can it still be controlled? How can it be controlled?" Madam Yun was displeased, even her gesture of serving tea seemed somewhat reluctant. "Yun Xi is, after all, surnamed Yun. Are you suggesting she change her surname back to Chen?"
Although she wasn't close to this daughter, she was still her own child, so how could she let her take someone else's surname?
“What’s the big deal? We’ll just say she’s part of the dowry and give her the surname Yun to show our closeness,” Yun Changliang said, taking the teacup. “That way, Yun Xi will still have the surname Yun, and our family can officially distance itself from her. It’s a win-win situation.”
"If you want to be recognized as an ancestor in the future, just send a few servants who are good at keeping their mouths shut to do it."
After careful consideration, Madam Yun realized there was no safer solution than what was currently available, so she nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Madam Yun went to the Marquis's residence.
Even though the scenery of the Marquis's mansion was no different from when she last came, she felt a faint sense of oppression as soon as she entered.
She went straight to Liuyun Garden.
Yun Wan looked even worse than the last time they met. The thick makeup couldn't cover the dark circles under her eyes, and it was hard to tell if she hadn't slept well for days.
Upon seeing Madam Yun, Yun Wan's eyes immediately filled with tears: "Mother, you've finally come!"
Seeing this, Madam Yun felt even more distressed.
This is the child she raised from childhood; though not her biological child, he is closer to her than her own.
"Your mother knows you've been wronged."
Madam Yun's eyes were full of heartache, which finally dissipated some of the pent-up frustration and grievances that Yun Wan had accumulated over the past few days.
After having someone serve Madam Yun her favorite tea and snacks, Yun Wan said, "Mother, did you send someone over early this morning because you need to see me today?"
"It's all because of Yunxi," Madam Yun sighed. "Wanwan, the young master said that if we don't agree to let Yunxi enter the manor, then he will take Yunxi to acknowledge her ancestors and expose her relationship with our Yun family! Yunxi's reputation now... if our family gets involved, I'm afraid even your father will be affected!"
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan's face immediately turned pale.
She had seen Shen Jun and Zheng Shi's attitude towards that wretched girl. She thought that wretched girl would never be able to turn things around again, but unexpectedly, something else happened to the Yun family!
For that wretched girl, Shen Rang actually threatened the Yun family!
