Chapter 198
When Cong Buweizhai left, Yun Wan's mouth was almost stretched to her ears, and her steps were so light that she seemed to be flying; she was clearly in a very good mood.
Upon returning to Liuyun Garden, Yunwan couldn't resist ordering someone to heat up a pot of wine and bring it over.
Pearl watched from the side, her eyes welling up with tears.
Since Yunxi came to Luoyang, Yunwan has hardly been happy.
"Young Madam, drinking is bad for your health. I'll have someone prepare some snacks to go with your drinks."
"Go quickly, go quickly!"
Before long, the table was filled with a sumptuous spread of snacks to accompany the drinks.
As Yun Wan drank her wine, she pondered in her heart when to tell Yun Xi the news.
It has to be a moment when you can kill them with one blow!

Meanwhile, Yunxi, unaware of what had happened, continued copying scriptures in Rongxi Hall, her handwriting as neat and orderly as it had been the previous two days.
As it grew dark, Madam Zheng checked her copying work for the day and then told her to leave.
Two more days passed, and Yunxi finally finished copying the entire Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra.
The handwriting throughout is neat and tidy, making it a pleasure to read.
Zheng read it from beginning to end, but couldn't find a single place where the handwriting was incorrect.
When she looked up again, Zheng's gaze towards Yunxi held a hint of approval, but even more so, regret.
With such a mindset, what can't they accomplish? Why do they have to waste their energy on things that can't be brought to the table?
"You've copied this scripture once already. Have you gained any insights?"
Yunxi pondered for a moment before curtsying and saying, "I have never been exposed to these things before. If I have said anything wrong, please forgive me, Madam."
"Okay, go ahead and say it."
"I am foolish, but I have come to understand the filial piety, compassion, and cause and effect described in the scriptures. The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha saves all sentient beings with great love and selflessness, which truly moves me. In the future, I will always be vigilant when I have thoughts, stay away from evil thoughts, accumulate good deeds, and reap good results."
Her words clearly reflected a deep understanding.
Such insight is truly rare.
Madam Zheng looked at her intently, her tone full of meaning: "You know so much. It seems you've been sitting here all these days with a lot of thought in mind."
That means you've passed the test.
Yunxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her face remained calm: "I have not failed Madam's good intentions."
Looking at her, Madam Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "Alright, you've been working hard these past few days. Go back and rest for a few days."
These days, Yunxi's movements have been somewhat strained. It's not that she can't see it, but since she's determined to teach Yunxi a lesson, she can't be soft-hearted. However, now that the scriptures have been copied and Yunxi has gained some insights, Madam Zheng is naturally willing to let her off the hook.
"Thank you, Madam."
"Go."
After leaving Rongxi Hall, Yunxi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
That evening, as soon as Shen Rang returned, Yun Xi couldn't wait to tell him about what happened at Rongxi Hall. At the end, she added, "Young Master, I didn't embarrass you, did I?"
She squinted, looking like she was asking for praise, which made Shen Rang chuckle: "I knew you were smart, but I didn't expect you to even get past Mother. Now tell me, what reward do you want?"
"There's another reward?"
Seeing the woman's eyes suddenly light up, Shen Rang's smile deepened: "Of course."
Yunxi's eyes darted around: "But I can't think of anything right now, so how about we keep it for later?"
"I'll do whatever you say."
After having dinner together, the two went to bed early.
Previously, Shen Rang had been mindful of Yun Xi's need to get up early every day, which prevented him from fully enjoying himself. Today, without that concern, he no longer deliberately restrained his actions and was finally able to experience the blissful harmony of body and soul for a long time.
