Chapter 190
The wind gradually weakened, but the rain continued unabated. As Chen Rang walked along, the hem of his clothes became soaked.
When they arrived at Liuyun Garden, Yunwan seemed to be about to leave.
“My husband is here,” Yun Wan greeted him with a smile. “Come in quickly and change into some clean clothes.”
"No need." Shen Rang's voice was icy cold.
Yun Wan sighed: "I know my husband came because of my sister. To be honest, it was my fault. Last night I suddenly had the idea to renovate the room, but it started raining in the middle of the night. I wasn't feeling well and couldn't get out of bed this morning. The servants were only trying to help me and didn't come to inform me. I just didn't expect them to be so stubborn. They didn't even think to invite my sister in first. It's really too much!"
Yun Wan's words completely absolved her of any responsibility.
She continued, "Don't worry, my husband, I've already had that maid punished. This kind of thing will never happen again."
“There’s no need for a future,” Shen Rang said. “Xi’er is not well, so let’s skip the morning and evening greetings from now on. She can just go with you to pay her respects to Mother on the first and fifteenth of each month.”
Hearing his words, Yun Wan's expression stiffened slightly.
Just as she was about to say something, Pearl coughed softly beside her.
Yun Wan took a deep breath and forced an awkward smile: "It's alright, it's alright. I should have thought of that earlier, my sister's health isn't good. My husband is so thoughtful."
Shen Rang was somewhat surprised to see her agree so readily.
Meeting his gaze, Yun Wan smiled helplessly: "In the end, it's my fault. My sister has suffered so much, I should at least do something to help her."
"Don't worry, my husband. I've thought it through. As your wife, I should naturally be tolerant. Besides, the person you admire is my sister."
Her words were spoken with the demeanor of a matriarch of a prominent family.
Shen Rang's expression softened slightly, and he nodded slightly, saying, "It's good that you think that way."
Yun Wan smiled slightly.
Now that Yunxi has already come to Shen Rang's side, openly going against Yunxi is going against Shen Rang.
She didn't need to create a rift between herself and Shen Rang because of a concubine.
“Oh, right, I just opened the storeroom and picked out a few things to take to my sister later as an apology,” Yun Wan said. “My lord, why don’t you change your clothes and sit for a while until the rain subsides, then come with me?”
"If my lord isn't here, I'm really afraid my sister will resent me and won't let me in," Yun Wan added with a smile.
“She’s not a petty person,” Shen Rang said. “She should be awake by now, so I won’t sit here.”
“Alright,” Yun Wan stood up as well. “Then my husband will go first. I’ll check the gifts again to make sure there are any omissions. I’ll go shortly.”
"Um."
As Yun Wan watched Shen Rang open his umbrella again and walk into the rain, the smile on her face disappeared inch by inch, replaced by a sinister look.
Pearl stepped forward, her tone complicated: "Young Madam, you've been wronged."
Her daughter was pampered by the Yun family since she was a child. When had she ever suffered such grievances?
Yun Wan gritted her teeth: "It's only temporary."
Once the novelty wears off, let's see how she kills that bitch!
"Is there any news from the Yun family?"
“It hasn’t been that long,” Pearl said helplessly. “Young Madam, let’s be patient.”
Yun Wan slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
This body has become a burden, so it's no wonder she's anxious.
Fine, let that little bitch be smug for a while longer.

Ji Baiju.
Yunxi was already awake, half-lying in bed, half her body sunk into the soft, comfortable pillows. She listened as Jixiang and Le'an recounted the events that had transpired when she first returned.
"The Crown Prince jumped down from the second floor to catch you! I didn't even have time to react! I've been by the Crown Prince's side for so many years, and this is the first time I've ever seen him so nervous!"
"Yes, yes, and as soon as the young master heard that you had been wronged at Liuyun Garden, he immediately went to seek justice for you!"
"The young master treats you so well!"
