Chapter 171
Yunxi blinked, unable to react for a moment: "For...me?"
Shen Rang nodded slightly: "Now that we have to make you suffer, we should make up for it in other ways. These things are not very thoughtful and are a bit light, but they can be your support. Don't mind them."
As Shen Rang spoke, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
Even if she were to become a concubine, Yunxi would still be a daughter of the Yun family, yet the Yun family made no move whatsoever, which shows they truly do not care about Yunxi.
As she took the box, Yunxi's eyes reddened slightly.
"What... what's wrong?" Shen Rang thought he had delivered the wrong thing and suddenly became nervous.
Yunxi shook her head vigorously: "It's nothing..."
She looked up and met Shen Rang's eyes: "Zirong, thank you."
Shen Rang met her gaze, a smile appearing in his eyes.
"It's getting late, let's get some rest."
That night, the two were exceptionally affectionate and tender.
——
The next morning, Yunxi and Shen Rang got up at the same time.
Once she becomes a concubine, she naturally has to abide by the rules for concubines, and the morning and evening greetings are unavoidable.
Seeing the obvious weariness on her face, Shen Rang said, "There's no rush. Let's go later."
Yunxi shook her head: "I know Zirong feels sorry for me, but the rules for concubines cannot be broken."
Those people already disliked her; if she dared to openly disrespect the mistress, wouldn't she be handing them ammunition against her?
Yunxi is not stupid.
Seeing this, Shen Rang had no choice but to nod.
He dressed properly, then gave Le'an a final instruction to protect Yunxi and to go find Jing Er if anything happened, before leaving with peace of mind.
After he left, Yunxi began to pack up.
Even though she had gone out with Shen Rang and received many luxurious clothes, Yun Xi didn't wear any of them today. Her attire was simple and dignified, and she didn't appear ostentatious at all.
However, this scene was even more jarring to Yun Wan's eyes.
She only changed into a slightly more presentable outfit, which made her look even more beautiful. If she dressed up carefully, what chance would Yun Wan have?
"Greetings to the young mistress." Yunxi curtsied slightly, her head bowed, but her back remained ramrod straight.
Seeing her so respectful, Yun Wan's displeasure vanished instantly, and she even raised her chin: "My mother-in-law sent someone to say this early this morning, so you don't need to go over to pay your respects."
A concubine is naturally not qualified to meet the Lady of the Marquis.
"yes."
Yun Wan turned her gaze to Pearl and started talking about going home tomorrow, seemingly forgetting that she hadn't called Yun Xi to get up yet.
Since Yun Wan didn't tell her to get up, Yun Xi naturally had to stay in that bent-knee position.
However, Yunxi knew perfectly well that Yunwan wanted to see her lose her composure and embarrass herself.
Thinking that if she fell sooner, she could suffer less, Yunxi let out a soft cry and knelt down on the ground.
Jixiang quickly went to help her.
Before they could even help the person up, they heard a burst of laughter from above.
The laughter was extremely joyful.
Yunxi lowered her eyelashes, concealing the fleeting cold glint within them.
He had only tripped and fallen, yet Yun Wan was laughing like this...
They're so easy to fool.
Yunxi suddenly felt that the days ahead shouldn't be too hard to endure.
