Chapter 217
Yun Wan took two steps forward and sat down in the spot where Yun Xi had just sat without any hesitation. She looked at Shen Rang with concern and said, "Husband feels more comfortable here than here with my sister, so I can't say anything. But I'm afraid my sister won't serve you well, so I came to bring you some things."
As she spoke, she opened the box in her hand: "This sachet contains calming ingredients to help the young master sleep well, and this medicinal oil is something I brought from home; it's perfect for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."
The patterns embroidered on the sachet were so lifelike that they were clearly the work of a master craftsman, and the medicinal oil was packaged in an exquisite blue and white porcelain bottle, which must have been worth a fortune.
Yun Wan opened the food box again: "This red date and longan porridge was cooked by me. It will make the young master feel better now."
Her gift was both valuable and thoughtful.
However, his expression remained calm: "Young Madam is very kind."
Yun Wan smiled slightly at him, then turned to look at Yun Xi: "Sister, I know you were raised in the countryside since you were little and are not a meticulous person. You may not be able to serve others very well. That's why you should do your best. If there is anything you don't understand, go and ask Jixiang. Don't make the young master uncomfortable, understand?"
Her words were clearly mocking Yunxi, implying she was less than a servant, but Yunxi seemed completely oblivious, curtsying and saying, "Don't worry, young mistress, I understand."
"It's getting late, my husband, you should rest early."
As she spoke, Yun Wan tucked the blanket around Chen Rang before getting up and leaving.
With her back to Shen Rang, Yun Wan's eyes suddenly turned as sharp as blades, as if she wanted to tear Yun Xi to pieces.
Yunxi kept her head down, seemingly unaware.
After Yun Wan left the warm pavilion, Yun Xi breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief. She looked up and met Chen Rang's helpless yet concerned gaze, then smiled and shook her head at him: "Zi Rong, you don't need to worry about me. I don't feel wronged. I will remember what the young mistress said."
She looked like she had clearly been wronged but dared not say anything, and her forced smile made Shen Rang feel even more sorry for her and made him feel even more indebted.
As Yunwan stepped out the door, she saw Pearl waiting there.
The master and servant's eyes met in the air, then they quickly looked away and walked away.
Back at Liuyun Garden, Yunwan asked, "How did it go? Have things been arranged with Jixiang?"
She wouldn't just stand by and watch that vile woman occupy Chen Rang's heart; since she was going to take action, she naturally had to make some arrangements.
"Don't worry, young mistress."
Yun Wan nodded, then asked, "How much silver should we give out?"
"...fifty taels."
"This girl's appetite is really getting bigger and bigger."
In the past, three or five taels of silver were enough to get rid of Jixiang when he needed to do something, but now, the price has increased dozens of times!
Pearl comforted her, "Young Madam, what is this amount of silver? Didn't our Madam give you a token that allows you to withdraw three thousand taels of silver every month?"
“Three thousand taels is no small amount. Mother says it’s that much, but how can I really take out the silver every month? That would be too greedy.”
If she didn't buy any jewelry, spending three to five hundred taels a month would be quite a lot, let alone three thousand taels.
“However, I heard that,” Pearl said, tilting her head toward Ji Bai Ju, “that person takes out three thousand taels every month, I wonder what they do with it.”
Yun Wan scoffed, "My father and mother have poured far more than three thousand taels of silver into me every month. They're just country bumpkins who are greedy for money. They want to take advantage of even the smallest bit of money. It's ridiculous."
How can these gold and silver things compare to the sincerity of the Yun couple?
Pearl smiled and said, "What the young mistress said is right. Our mistress probably didn't expect that person to be so greedy. I wonder how she regrets giving the token to her now!"
Hearing her words, Yun Wan's eyes lit up: "In that case, I should also share my mother's burdens..."
"Send a note home, I'm going home tomorrow."
