Chapter 196
For several days in a row, Yunxi would go to Rongxi Hall before dawn every day and sit there for the whole morning. She would go back for lunch and rest for a while, and then go back again until dark before returning to Jibai Residence.
For the first day or two, it wasn't noticeable, but by the third day, Yunxi's hands started to ache, and she had to apply heat to relieve the pain every day.
At first, Yunxi didn't want Shenrang to know, so she always finished applying the hot compress before he came back. But for some reason, Shenrang came back early that day and happened to catch her applying the hot compress. After asking her repeatedly, he found out that Yunxi had been copying books every day from morning to night and hardly had any rest.
Shen Rang was naturally heartbroken upon hearing this and immediately went to Rongxi Hall to find Madam Zheng. However, he had only taken two steps when Yunxi hugged him from behind.
Jixiang and Le'an exchanged a glance and tacitly withdrew.
"Zirong, don't go."
Shen Rang lowered his head, his gaze falling on the two soft breasts at his waist.
Her slender hands were slightly red from being covered with a hot handkerchief, and the few traces of undried water made her skin appear even whiter.
Shen Rang sighed, "How can I not go when you're like this?"
In just a few days, Yunxi already needs to apply hot compresses every day. If this continues, she might not be able to use this hand anymore.
After a moment of silence, a voice came from behind: "But I've almost finished copying the scriptures that Madam asked me to copy. It wouldn't be right to give up halfway. If Zirong feels sorry for me, could you please speak to her on my behalf in a couple of days?"
Hearing her say that, Shen Rang could only sigh.
He turned around and hugged Yunxi in his arms: "I have a day off tomorrow, so you can rest for a day and keep me company, okay?"
Yunxi didn't speak, but looked up at him with a troubled expression.
Seeing this, Shen Rang sighed.
I really don't know how I'm going to get through tomorrow.
The two embraced quietly for a moment, then Chen Rang said, "Tell them to change to a new handkerchief and apply it for a while longer."
"Um."
"You actually kept this from me."
Shen Rang gets angry whenever this is mentioned.
Yunxi suffered injustice but didn't tell him. How could he stand up for her?
Even if the other side is the Zheng family, he will find a way, which is better than Yunxi having to bear it all alone.
Yunxi felt a little guilty: "You're usually so busy, what if these little things distract you?"
“This is no small matter,” Shen Rang couldn’t help but pinch her cheek. “If something like this happens again, you have to let me know immediately.”
After all, Yunxi's current situation in the Marquis's mansion is all because of him.
"......Um."
——
The next day, Shen Rang took a day off, and Yun Xi still got up early and went to Rongxi Hall as usual, just like always.
Madam Zheng was quite surprised: "Zi Rong is on leave today, and that girl is here so early?"
"yes."
Yunxi is already in the side hall; there's no way she's faking it.
Zheng frowned deeply.
That shouldn't be the case.
Yunxi should have tried every means to pester Shen Rang and get him to plead for her. Why did she come over so early in the morning, just like before?
Could it be that Yunxi had no idea that Shen Rang was off today?
That's not right either.
Shen Rang went to Ji Bai Ju as soon as he got back last night, so Yun Xi couldn't possibly not know that.
"Tsk..."
Unable to understand Yunxi's thoughts, Madam Zheng simply stopped thinking about it and instead said, "Go and tell the young mistress that today's opportunity is rare, and tell her to make sure she seizes it."
Mrs. Zhou quickly turned and left.
——
Liuyun Garden.
After hearing what Zhou's mother said, Yun Wan's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom, I know what to do."
As soon as she saw Zhou Mama off, Yunwan couldn't wait to get up, change into a plum blossom dress, and ask Pearl to pack a plate of delicate pastries before heading to Jibai Residence.
Upon arriving at Jibai Residence, Yunwan learned that Shen Rang had gone to Buwei Studio, so she had no choice but to turn around and head towards Buwei Studio.
Finally arriving at Buweizhai, Yunwan was allowed to enter only after a servant went in to announce her arrival.
Shen Rang sat behind the desk, holding a book in his hand.
Yun Wan smiled and stepped forward: "Young Master rarely gets a break, why did you come to the study?"
