Chapter 218
Meanwhile, Shen Rang and Yun Xi had dinner and went to bed early.
Although Shen Jun had asked Shen Rang for leave at the Hanlin Academy, Shen Rang had something on his mind and woke up early the next day.
He had barely made a move when Yunxi woke up: "Are you going to find His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Yes, I can go out while my father is not home."
Once Shen Jun returns from court, he won't be able to get away.
Yunxi nodded, struggled to get up, and quickly changed him into his outdoor clothes, saying, "Then, I'll wait for you at home, Zirong."
A faint smile appeared in Shen Rang's eyes: "With you waiting, I will definitely come back soon."
He turned and left, instructing Jingyuan to drive the carriage away from the Marquis's residence.
Although the morning court session had not yet ended, when he arrived at the East Palace, he was still respectfully welcomed in by the palace servants: "Young Master Shen, please have a seat. When Your Highness returns in a moment, this servant will invite Your Highness over."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Today's morning court session ended much earlier than yesterday's.
Shen Jun went straight home, but before he even entered the house, he heard the news that Shen Rang had gone to the Eastern Palace.
"That wretched child!"
At this moment, Shen Jun truly felt the urge to beat Shen Rang to death.
They originally thought that by supporting him on his path to advancement and placing him under the Crown Prince's wing, the Marquis's mansion would rise to the top without any further obstacles. Little did they expect that the biggest obstacle would be their own son!
If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred not to have let him study in the first place. He could have just lived a life of eating, drinking, and having fun, and instead, the whole family would have been ruined!
"The young master went back to his concubine's place yesterday, didn't he?"
"yes."
Shen Jun gritted his teeth; "Tie that concubine up and send her to the Madam, so she can punish her severely!"
Even if it has nothing to do with that concubine, if the master makes a mistake, she is wrong even if she is not!
After leaving those words, Shen Jun rode his horse to the East Palace.

Ji Baiju.
Yunxi had just woken up from a nap and was having breakfast when she saw a group of guards coming over in a menacing manner.
Le An quickly stepped forward: "Brothers, this is the backyard, why did you come here?"
Le'an was originally one of Shen Rang's men. The head guard recognized her and said, "Miss Le'an, we are on the Marquis's orders to escort the concubine to the Madam."
Everyone present felt a jolt in their hearts.
Jixiang quickly stepped forward, stuffed a silver ingot into the hand of the leading man, and said with a fawning smile, "Brother, what's going on? Did my aunt do something wrong?"
As the saying goes, money makes the world go round, but that big man was more troublesome than a ghost. He threw away the silver he had already obtained, raised his chin at Yunxi, and the burly men behind him strode over to Yunxi and tied her up with rope without saying a word.
Whether they were deliberately trying to tease her or not, these people took big, hurried steps, and Yunxi couldn't keep up even when she was jogging. Her arms were tightly bound, making it impossible for her to maintain her balance. She was half-dragged and half-pulled forward, looking extremely disheveled.
As luck would have it, I ran into Yunwan on my way to Rongxi Hall.
She appeared to be about to leave.
Seeing her in such a disheveled state, Yun Wan's eyes lit up. After asking a few questions, she turned around and followed her to Rongxi Hall.
——
The Eastern Palace.
Shen Jun sped all the way to the East Palace. As soon as he entered, he pointed at Shen Rang and said, "You ungrateful wretch! What nonsense did you spout in front of His Highness the Crown Prince! Didn't yesterday's beating wake you up? Today, in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, I might as well clean house from the dead!"
As he spoke, Shen Jun rolled up his sleeves and strode toward Shen Rang.
The Crown Prince was startled and quickly stepped in front of him: "Why is the Marquis so angry? I think what Zirong said makes a lot of sense!"
