Chapter 168
Yunxi heard the good news as soon as she woke up, and was momentarily dazed.
Seeing her stunned, Shen Rang couldn't help but laugh: "What, you don't want to anymore?"
Shen Rang spoke in a relaxed tone, but his dark phoenix eyes and tense voice were enough to show that he was not at ease inside.
Yunxi subconsciously shook her head: "Of course not, it's just... I didn't expect it to happen so quickly..."
Seeing this, Shen Rang was finally relieved.
It turns out it was because it was too unexpected.
"Second Miss, the young master has almost worn his legs out over this matter. He went to see Lord Yun twice! Today, he had to use all his persuasion to get this done!"
Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Yun Xi couldn't help but show her emotion.
She really didn't expect that Shen Rang would take this matter so seriously, and that he hadn't been idle for a moment without her knowing.
Moved, Yunxi threw herself into Shen Rang's arms.
Shen Rang chuckled softly: "Don't listen to Jing Yuan's nonsense. I just used my words; it didn't take me any effort."
Jing Yuan and the others exchanged glances, then smiled and withdrew.
Only after the door was closed and the room fell silent did Yunxi speak in a muffled voice: "I thought I would have to wait a long time before I could stand next to you."
A wave of tenderness washed over Shen Rang. He raised his hand to stroke her long hair, his voice gentle and affectionate: "It's still too much of a burden for you to hold the position of a concubine right now. Shall we wait for the future?"
“Hmm,” Yunxi took a deep breath, her arms around his waist tightening even more, “I’m already content with things as they are now.”
Having reached this point, her situation is already much better than in her previous life.
At least for now, Yun Wan no longer dares to treat her like an animal.
However, she had seen the attitudes of the men in the manor towards her, and she knew that her future days would not be easy.
But no matter how bad things get, it's still better than never having had it in the past life.
Shen Rang remained silent, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
not enough.
That's far from enough.
Now that he has made up his mind about Yunxi, he is determined to have her stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
However, it would seem somewhat superficial to talk about these things now.
So Shen Rang simply said, "Let's rest well first, heal our injuries, and then pick a good day to get things done, shall we?"
Yunxi shook her head: "Let's not do it. I'll just serve you and the young mistress some tea then, how about that?"
"You've already been put in a difficult position, how can we skimp on such a small thing?"
“Zirong, I’m already very happy to be able to stand by your side. Besides, the young mistress is already dissatisfied with me. If I hold a big party…” Yunxi gave a bitter smile. “I still have to make a living under the young mistress in the future. I can’t offend her too much.”
Yun Wan is not a reasonable person. If she wants to hold a big event, Yun Wan will definitely try to stop her.
The more you do, the more mistakes you make; it's better not to do anything at all.
Once she's inside, the two of them will have plenty of opportunities to compete.
Hearing her say that, Shen Rang had no choice but to nod.
——
Before it got dark, Shen Rang was summoned by Madam Zheng.
Zheng's expression was not good, and her tone was even more harsh: "You're quick on your feet, paving the way for that girl."
Clearly, she knew about what happened at Liuyun Garden.
Shen Rang cupped his hands in a gesture of respect: "Your son also has selfish motives. He is doing these things not only for Yunxi, but also for himself."
