Chapter 166
Meeting Shen Rang's gaze, Yun Wan immediately felt as if she had been seen through, as if all her thoughts could not be hidden in those dark, dull eyes.
However, Yun Wan still managed a forced smile: "Husband, what are you saying? I don't understand..."
Shen Rang glanced at her, then walked over and sat down: "Do you really not understand?"
His voice carried a faint sense of pressure, and Yun Wan, who was already feeling guilty, stiffened her expression and her gaze became increasingly unfocused.
She took a deep breath and told herself that this was exactly what she had expected.
She calmed down and turned back to sit down: "I really don't understand what my husband is saying. What does it have to do with me what happens to her?"
Yun Wan remained completely unfazed by Shen Rang's gaze.
After all, she had already prepared her explanation, and once she calmed down, no one could find any flaws in her story.
Shen Rang frowned slightly: "You really don't know?"
Yun Wan shook her head: "Even if I had the greatest abilities in this Marquis's mansion, it would be difficult to transport a living person out of the mansion without anyone noticing, would it?"
What she said makes sense.
Although the management of the Marquis's mansion has been entrusted to Yun Wan, the people working in the mansion are still the same ones as before. They must report to Madam Zheng immediately if there is any disturbance.
Even if Yun Wan had the will, she didn't have the ability.
Shen Rang frowned slightly.
"Besides, if I were to do anything to her, wouldn't I inevitably have to make some arrangements beforehand? But since I married into the Marquis's mansion, I've hardly ever gone out, nor have I ever sent any of my trusted people out. My husband can go and ask the servants if what I'm saying is true."
Yun Wan spoke with confidence and without any sense of guilt.
But Shen Rang suddenly looked up at her, his eyes sharp as a hawk: "Does Madam think that because I'm not home most of the time, I know nothing about everything at home?"
His voice remained calm: "Madam doesn't go out, but her close friend has come to the house twice. Since they are close friends, they must be of one mind?"
Yun Wan subconsciously bit her lower lip.
"It doesn't matter if Madam doesn't acknowledge it. I can just invite her over and ask her carefully."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan felt a sudden panic.
If Shu Ningshuang doesn't come, whatever she says goes, but if Shu Ningshuang comes, things will get complicated!
At least in front of Shu Ningshuang, Yun Wan can't just freely push all the blame onto Shu Ningshuang like she does now.
"My husband, you must believe me, I absolutely have no intention of harming anyone! Yes, last time Ning Shuang came to stand up for me and did say she would teach Yun Xi a lesson, but I thought Ning Shuang was just giving her a verbal warning. As for what Ning Shuang actually did, I really don't know!"
Shen Rang's gaze fell on her face, taking in every subtle expression.
There was no lying.
Shen Rang's brows furrowed slightly.
Yun Wan really didn't know.
Shen Rang picked up his teacup, his eyelashes drooping, concealing the unusual brilliance within.
The fragrance of osmanthus fills the mouth, then slowly fades away, leaving only the mellow aftertaste of black tea.
“Even if I believe that Madam is unaware, in Mother’s opinion, that Miss Shu is Madam’s close friend, and the two of you must be involved. If Mother finds out that Miss Shu has done something shameful, she probably won’t treat Madam well in the future.”
Shen Rang's voice was calm, but as soon as he finished speaking, Yun Wan couldn't help but clench her fists.
Yun Wan knew that Zheng Shi didn't really like her, and that Zheng Shi was only on her side now because Zheng Shi disliked Yun Xi even more.
If this matter gets reported to the Zheng family...
