Chapter 21
Since we are so compatible, it would be wonderful if the person in front of me were his wife.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Shen Rang suppressed it.
Marrying her would only bring her countless troubles. This girl is just a lowly maid; how could she possibly stand up to him on her own?
Shen Rang closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, they were clear.
Yunxi was unaware of his thoughts, seemingly still immersed in the joy of finally being able to speak.
"I still don't know your name."
A deep, cold voice came from above. Yunxi subconsciously looked up and met those deep phoenix eyes.
“This servant is… Chenxi.”
Dawn, Chen Xi.
Shen Rang nodded slightly.
I finally learned her name.
Now that the night is quiet, it seems as if only the two of them remain in the world. It would be the best time to return the handkerchief, but for some reason, Shen Rang doesn't want to.
After a moment of silence, Chen Rang said, "I'll take you back."
"How can this be allowed?"
Yunxi was flattered and overwhelmed.
But soon, she realized something was amiss: "Isn't the young master going back?"
Shen Rang's gaze remained fixed on her, and after a long while he finally hummed in agreement: "Madam has already gone to sleep, and I'm afraid I'll disturb her if I go back."
Yunxi nodded and casually remarked, "The young master is truly considerate."
However, these words seemed to carry a different meaning in Shen Rang's ears, a bit... sour?
"...Let's go."
On the way back, Yunxi was still two steps behind him. Shen Rang escorted her back to Liuyun Garden, and sure enough, he didn't go inside. After watching her go in, he turned and left.
Yunxi returned to the back room and, after confirming that Shen Rang could not see her, frowned.
If Shen Rang isn't planning to come back to sleep tonight, why is he standing outside the side door?
That's really strange.
Before Yunxi could figure it out, drowsiness washed over her like a tide, and she couldn't resist it, falling into a deep sleep.
When Yunxi woke up, Jixiang had gone to get breakfast but hadn't returned yet, so she took out the silver she had taken out earlier to keep as a safety net.
She took a thousand taels, but sent most of it back at the time, and spent a lot on Jixiang, so now there is very little left.
She needs to find an opportunity to go out and get some more money.
Just then, Jixiang arrived with breakfast.
The four dishes and one soup were exquisitely presented, making one's mouth water just by looking at them.
However, Yunxi had little appetite.
It seems that we can't get through to Granny Wu for the time being, so it looks like we can only try to get through to Madam Yun.
Thinking of this, Yunxi glanced at Jixiang and began to ponder.
Jixiang was staring at the breakfast on the table and didn't notice her.
“Jixiang, the silver we took out to save for ourselves is almost gone. If we still can't get through to Granny Liu, could you go home and ask Mother if I can leave?”
Ji Xiang was taken aback.
Are we almost out of money?
That won't do!
If Yunxi has no money, then she won't even be able to afford a bowl of soup.
Jixiang made a decision in an instant: "Don't worry, young lady, I'll go home in a little while."
"Thank you for your help."
After Yunxi finished breakfast, Jixiang took the breakfast out and quickly ate it before leaving the house.
With nothing else to do, Yunxi picked up the wooden rabbit carving and played with it in her hand.
——
Meanwhile, Jixiang jogged all the way back to the Yun residence.
