Chapter 160
After Granny Liu left, Yunxi had nothing to do, so she started learning from Jixiang how to take care of these precious clothes, while Le'an watched the excitement from the side.
"Miss, why do you want to learn it yourself? Why don't you just leave this to us servants?" Le'an didn't understand.
“We’ll be staying in the inner quarters for a long time, so we should do something to pass the time. Otherwise, if we do nothing all day long, we’ll become useless,” Yunxi said.
Le'an nodded.
That's true.
"By the way, young lady, didn't the young master say anything to you?"
"say what?"
"I heard from Jingyuan that the matter of Miss's marriage is about to be settled!" Le'an said with a smile. "The young master personally went to tell the master of the Yun family that if they don't settle things with the young mistress over there, he will personally take you back to the Yun family to be recognized as a member of the clan in a couple of days!"
As soon as Le'an said this, before Yunxi could react, Jixiang couldn't sit still any longer: "The young master really cares about the young lady! It seems that it's only a matter of time before you can enter the family!"
Yunxi pursed her lips.
This is certainly good news, but can Yun Wan really be so obedient?
If Yun Wan had truly taken the Yun family's words to heart, she wouldn't have died so tragically in her previous life.
This matter is definitely not that simple.
Yunxi secretly became more wary.
Seeing that she frowned even after hearing such good news, Le'an and Jixiang exchanged a glance and fell silent.
——
But Yun Wan seemed to have truly resigned herself to her fate.
The sun sets in the west and rises in the east, a new day has begun, but Yun Wan still hasn't made any move.
This made Yunxi even more suspicious.
However, she couldn't be too obvious in front of Jixiang and Le'an, otherwise it would seem a bit strange.
While I was thinking, Jixiang brought over lunch.
After moving out of Liuyun Garden, apart from the time Shen Rang came back in the evenings and she could have a decent meal with him, the other two meals were worse than what even the servants could afford.
A bowl of hardened rice and two plates of vegetable leaves with absolutely no oil or grease make up a meal.
The smooth, oily rosewood table gleamed with a luxurious light, yet such simple food was laid out on it, causing Jixiang and Le'an to shake their heads in disapproval.
As usual, the two placed their food on the table, which made it look somewhat proper.
The two women strictly adhered to the rules, insisting on waiting until Yunxi finished eating before they began to eat.
Yunxi is not an ignorant person.
People bring their own food, which is a rare kindness. If she eats one more bite, they eat one less bite. So even though there are many dishes on the table, Yunxi still eats the two plates of vegetable leaves the most.
After eating and drinking her fill, feeling sleepy, Yunxi went back to the inner room to rest.
After that, Jixiang and Le'an went forward to eat.
Jixiang was one thing, but Le'an didn't usually take a nap, yet for some reason, she felt drowsy after finishing this meal.
Looking at Jixiang, she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open: "I can't take it anymore, I'm so sleepy, I need to go and rest for a while."
After saying that, Jixiang yawned and left.
Le'an yawned and followed them back.
Yunxi was not well-liked. Since there were no other servants in the Baiju residence, it was already quiet, but now it was even quieter. Once everyone's door was closed, there was no sound in the courtyard, as if no one lived there.
Now that the weather is cold, even at noon there is little warmth left. The cold wind swirls the already swaying leaves as they fall to the ground, adding to the desolate atmosphere.
Suddenly, Le'an, who was fast asleep in the room, sat up abruptly in bed.
