Chapter 170
Yunxi decided to keep this a secret for the time being, and Shen Rang didn't say anything about it.
A few days later, the auspicious day that Shen Rang had previously chosen would arrive.
Yun Wan was utterly disdainful of this.
Why are there so many rules and regulations for a concubine entering the household?
However, since Shen Rang wanted to do this, she couldn't say anything. She pinched her nose and drank the tea that Yun Xi brought, and the gift was considered complete.
"Now that you have become a concubine, you are practically a mistress of this household. You must be even more mindful of your conduct and serve your master well so that you may give birth to a child as soon as possible."
Yun Wan's voice contained a hint of barely perceptible contempt.
What does it matter if she's a noble concubine? In the end, she's still just a concubine.
Even if Yunxi gave birth to a child as a concubine, the child would still be sent to her to be raised, but she couldn't say that the child was her own, as originally planned.
Thinking of this, Yun Wan couldn't help but feel anxious.
Yunxi has already become a concubine, but the doctor still hasn't been found, and no one knows when there will be any news.
Although children born to concubines are raised by the main wife, they are not her own children, and holding them in her arms is not the same feeling.
Yun Wan's mind was in turmoil. Thinking about returning to the Yun family sometime, she had no intention of making things difficult for Yun Xi anymore, so she waved her hand and told her to leave.
As Yunxi emerged from Liuyun Garden, she gazed at the clear blue sky above her and couldn't help but drift into a daze once more.
She is now Shen Rang's concubine.
A legitimate identity was actually granted to him.
When she returned to Jibai Residence, she saw Jixiang and Le'an standing at the door waiting for her, their faces full of smiles.
The two women exchanged a glance, then called out, "Auntie!"
Yunxi was a little unaccustomed to it at first, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
The two women exchanged a glance, then stepped forward with smiles and said, "The second floor is all decorated. We've seen it, and it's beautiful! Please come and take a look!"
Yunxi nodded.
She could see clever maids carrying brocade boxes of different sizes up and down the stairs almost every day, and Yunxi was very curious about what the second floor had been decorated for.
Upon reaching the second floor, there was first a small hall with a round table in the center and a desk by the window. Then there was an inner room separated by a gauze curtain, containing a spacious four-poster bed and a wardrobe for storing clothes.
The entire room is refreshing and airy, yet elegant and luxurious, much like Shen Rang's Water Pavilion.
Turning my head again, I saw another room on the other side.
It's a shower room.
There was even a large window in the bathhouse. Sitting in the tub, you could see half of the Marquis's mansion in the view.
Yunxi walked around the house, inside and out, and was extremely satisfied.
She thought it was good enough that she could leave that cramped back room, but she never expected that one day she would be able to live in such a nice house!
Seeing that Yunxi was pleased, Le'an smiled and said, "The young master said that the main hall downstairs for receiving guests should still be kept. As for how to arrange the two side rooms, we'll leave it to you, Madam."
"And the outer rooms, please take a look and see if there's anything you want to change. The young master said that everything can be arranged according to your wishes."
Shen Rang's original words were that since it was Yunxi's own courtyard, Yunxi should decide how to arrange it.
Hearing Le'an's words, Yunxi's heart stirred slightly.
If Yunxi had only used Shen Rang before, now she was genuinely somewhat tempted.
Shen Rang was so filial before, even repeatedly humiliating himself, just to fulfill Shen Jun and Zheng Shi's wishes, but now, for her sake, Shen Rang's resistance is so fierce.
Not only did they elevate her to the position of a noble concubine, but they also gave her a courtyard.
However, this is not the end.
When Shen Rang returned that evening, he brought her a box containing a thick stack of land deeds.
“There are fertile fields, shops, and two houses here,” Shen Rang said, closing the lid again and pushing it to Yun Xi’s side. “They’re all for you.”
