Chapter 19
Jixiang was still busy brewing medicine, and was puzzled to see that she had come out so quickly.
Weren't these two quite the troublemakers before?
Meeting Jixiang's gaze, Yunxi said, "The young master has something to attend to and has gone to his study. There's no need to brew the medicine."
After saying that, Yunxi went inside.
After packing his things, Jixiang went back to bed.
The next day, Yunxi locked herself in her room again to write.
Having nothing better to do, Jixiang went over to take a look.
Watching her write the characters stroke by stroke, a look of amazement and envy gradually appeared on Jixiang's face: "Miss, before you came to the capital, your adoptive parents treated you very well, didn't they?"
Although Yunxi came from the countryside, she was not vulgar at all, and could even write. It was clear that she had been carefully cared for by her family.
Yunxi nodded.
Nature is good.
The Chen couple had no children of their own, so they raised her as their own, showering her with love and care.
So in this life, she was determined to make sure the Chen family couple lived a good life.
Yunxi lowered her eyelashes, a resolute glint flashing in her eyes.
While she had the leisure to arrange the curtains, Yun Wan was busy all day, even sending Pearl out to buy incense for burning passion.
She finally understood that Yunxi was a useless person who couldn't be relied on, so she had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
Fortunately, she and Shen Rang were a legitimate married couple, so this kind of thing could only be considered as intimate bedroom fun.
However, Shen Rang didn't even come back today. He only sent Jing Yuan to deliver a message, saying that he had arranged to meet two colleagues in the front yard to discuss business and wouldn't be returning to the back yard tonight.
Yun Wan sat blankly in the hall, feeling very uncomfortable: "...Pearl, don't you think the young master treats me worse than before?"
Seeing her lost and dejected look, Pearl was slightly taken aback.
She really didn't think so.
Seeing that Pearl remained silent, Yun Wan sighed and said, "Everyone says that newlyweds are passionate, but we've only been married a short time, and the young master is already so cold to me. What will become of me in the future..."
Pearl quickly said, "Young Madam, please don't worry. The young master is on official business today, not avoiding you."
Yun Wan sighed again.
Seeing Yun Wan's worried expression, Pearl suddenly remembered something and stepped forward to lower her voice, saying, "But young mistress, when I went to find the young master yesterday, I think I saw him talking to a maid."
Once her mind was clear, Pearl had another flash of inspiration: "Last time when I went to pick flower branches, I also heard that the young master was looking for someone but couldn't find them. I wonder if it was this maid."
As she spoke, Pearl's expression turned serious.
Yun Wan frowned even more: "Did you see what that maid looked like?"
"I was too far away to see clearly, but the clothes were definitely those of a maid, there's no mistake."
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan's face darkened: "So that's why the young master has been so cold to me, there's a vixen in there!"
That's incredibly audacious!
She's only just married into the family, and she's already already eager to become a concubine?!
dream!
Yun Wan gritted her teeth: "Have someone guard the second gate. They should follow the young master ever since he returned and keep an eye out for anyone approaching him!"
"yes!"
Pearl was about to make the arrangements when Yun Wan stopped her: "Wait! Tell Emerald to go. Don't let a fourth person know about this!"
Emerald was also one of Yun Wan's trusted maids, but she did not serve her closely on a daily basis. Instead, she managed the accounts for Yun Wan, so her presence in the courtyard was not very noticeable.
"Young Madam, you mean...?"
Yun Wan sneered: "We must be wary of outsiders, but we must be even more wary of traitors within our own ranks!"
"But young mistress, most of those who came with you are from our old courtyard, so they probably wouldn't..."
Jixiang thought Yunwan was overthinking things.
Yun Wan glanced at her coldly: "If you wouldn't, then what about Yun Xi? Do you dare to guarantee that she definitely doesn't have such thoughts?"
Anyway, keeping an eye on Yunxi is just a side effect, so I might as well take this opportunity to test whether Yunxi is really as honest as she seems on the surface.
Pearl dared not say anything more, and after responding, she hurriedly left.
Her movements were discreet, and Yunxi and Jixiang were in the backyard, so they were completely unaware of what she was doing.
