Chapter 179
But this doesn't mean Yun Wan will let her off the hook.
She stood there for half a day, unable to move an inch. Pearl stared at her like a black-eyed chicken. If she made the slightest movement, she would shout and attract Yun Wan's attention, which would then lead to a scolding.
Although Yun Wan came from a wealthy and powerful family, her hatred for Yun Xi was genuine. She would call Yun Xi restless one moment and stupid as a pig the next, showing no mercy whatsoever. Ji Xiang and Le An, who were standing nearby, were furious when they heard this.
However, Yunxi remained calm, seemingly not taking her words to heart at all, and silently counted the hours in her mind.
But the more she cared about time, the slower it seemed to pass, causing her great torment.
Finally, noon arrived, and Yunwan called her to leave.
At that time, her legs were so stiff that her walking posture became somewhat strange.
Having finally returned to Jibai Residence, before she could even catch her breath, Le'an came to report that the etiquette tutor that Shen Rang had hired for her had arrived.
"So fast?"
I just mentioned it yesterday, and today Shen Rang actually brought the person over?
Le'an smiled and said, "The young master has always cared for his concubine, so naturally he couldn't just stand by and watch her suffer."
Yunxi blushed slightly at her words: "Please invite Mom in quickly."
As the person entered, Yunxi couldn't help but look at her.
Although the person who came was old, his posture and overall demeanor were still impeccable, as if elegance was etched into his very bones, and every move he made was captivating.
"This servant's surname is Wu, and I pay my respects to my aunt."
With her hands clasped together in front of her chest and her knees slightly bent, Wu's mother performed a simple yet pleasing gesture.
"Aunt Wu." Yunxi quickly stood up and curtsied to Aunt Wu.
Her manners were naturally not comparable to those of Madam Wu, but they weren't bad either.
Wu's mother had a kind face, a well-proportioned and full face, and soft facial features, which made people feel close to her.
"Please sit down, Aunt Wu."
As soon as Yunxi finished speaking, Jixiang served tea.
Madam Wu sat down with a smile, picked up her teacup, lowered her head and took a small sip, and then said, "I have been entrusted by the young master to teach my aunt etiquette."
Madam Wu didn't miss the fleeting stiffness on Yunxi's face, and her smile deepened: "Don't worry, Auntie. These so-called etiquettes sound profound, but in reality, there are only a few things that can be used in daily life. I'll teach you first, Auntie, to deal with the young mistress, and then we can slowly learn the others."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi's eyes lit up slightly: "Thank you, Aunt Wu!"
It was almost time, so Yunxi went to the dining room with Wu's mother.
Although Mrs. Wu said there was no rush, with a good teacher by her side, Yunxi naturally couldn't help but imitate her every move. Mrs. Wu gave her timely pointers, and Yunxi learned a lot during the meal.
For the rest of the afternoon, Yunxi spent learning etiquette from Wu's mother.
She was smart and could learn anything quickly, and Wu's mother could no longer hide her satisfaction.
Before we knew it, the sky had darkened.
Seeing that it was almost time, Madam Wu prepared to get up and leave. Yunxi was about to get up to see her off, but Madam Wu stopped her: "Can you read, Aunt?"
Yunxi nodded slightly.
Mrs. Wu nodded: "Then, Auntie, why don't you read some books in your spare time? Try reading through the *Zhou Li*, *Yi Li*, and *Li Ji* first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me, or..."
A series of footsteps sounded, and Madam Wu turned to look in the direction of the courtyard gate: "You can ask the young master directly."
A tall figure slowly entered, accompanied by the last rays of sunlight. When his cool gaze fell on Yunxi, it softened with a touch of warmth.
