Chapter 185
The crowd was bewildered as they watched the couple, who should have been standing together, now standing face to face.
Although they said they wanted to stand up for Yun Wan, that didn't mean they dared to go against Shen Rang!
When Yun Wan was just the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, they all had to fawn over her, let alone the heir of a marquis's mansion.
Shu Ningshuang sat down next to Yun Wan and said in a low voice, "Wanwan, how come this vixen dragged your husband into this too? How can you tolerate this?"
Out of the corner of her eye, Yun Wan's molars were almost ground to powder.
Of course she couldn't stand it!
Shen Rang already knew that she was hosting a banquet for her friends today, so why did she come with Yun Xi?!
Isn't this slapping her in the face in front of everyone?!
After a long pause, seeing that Yun Wan hadn't finished speaking, Shu Ningshuang nudged her twice with her elbow: "That's your husband! Why don't you hurry up and call the young master over? What kind of image is it to have him with that vixen?"
Shu Ningshuang still believes that the things Shen Rang bought on the street before were all for Yun Wan, and that the two of them still have true feelings for each other, but have become estranged because of Yun Xi.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan suddenly came to her senses, but instead of going over immediately, she forced a smile and asked, "Husband, why did you come along too?"
Shen Rang looked around the garden and couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had come with Yun Xi, otherwise Yun Xi would have been eaten alive by these people.
Knowing that this group of people had ill intentions towards Yunxi, Shen Rang's tone naturally turned cold: "What, can't I come?"
After he finished speaking, Yun Wan's face stiffened: "That's not what I meant..."
As if she hadn't noticed Yun Wan's unpleasant expression, Yun Xi stepped forward and curtsied gracefully, saying, "Greetings to the young mistress. May I ask what brings you here?"
Even surrounded by wolves, Yunxi remained courteous, and Shen Rang looked at her with a sense of pride.
The thought of Yunxi's helplessness and vulnerability, which she only showed to him, while appearing so elegant and composed in front of outsiders, without the slightest fear, inexplicably touched the softest part of Chen's heart.
Looking down at Yun Xi's smiling face, Yun Wan felt an urge to tear her face apart.
Before Yun Wan could speak, Shu Ningshuang coughed and said, "I called you over for no other reason than I heard that Wan Wan has a very capable maid, so I called you over so that the sisters can meet her."
Shu Ningshuang's words were really unpleasant to hear.
Yun Wan took a light breath and said with a smile, "Ning Shuang was just joking. She just heard that her younger sister is beautiful, so she insisted on meeting her. Ning Shuang meant no harm, Your Highness, please don't misunderstand."
She kept mentioning Shu Ningshuang in her three sentences, completely shifting the blame onto Shu Ningshuang. However, Shu Ningshuang didn't realize what was happening and even thought that Yun Wan was speaking on her behalf, which touched her deeply.
Seeing that Shen Rang's expression had softened, Yun Wan stood up and walked towards him: "Young Master, what brings you here to accompany your sister?"
Yun Wan reached out to take Chen Rang's arm, but Chen Rang avoided her movement and instead pulled Yun Xi back into his arms: "I'll come whenever I have time."
By not directly saying that they were afraid Yunxi would be bullied by them, they were already saving face for Yun Wan.
But clearly, Yun Wan didn't think so.
She looked at Yunxi, who was nestled obediently in Shen Rang's arms, and wondered if it was just her imagination, but she saw a hint of provocation in her eyes.
This feeling was fleeting, and when Yun Wan looked closely, Yun Xi's face showed nothing but innocence.
However, seeing her innocent expression, Yun Wan was still filled with anger.
In front of all her friends, she, the legitimate wife, was still standing there properly, while this little slut had already snuggled into her husband's arms!
