Chapter 225
As she spoke, Yunxi's gaze lingered on Yunwan for a fleeting moment, seemingly unintentionally.
Yun Wan clenched her fists secretly.
"I came here today because I heard that Madam wants to take back the token."
Speaking of this, Madam Yun's expression became somewhat awkward: "...Yes, Xi'er, you eat, wear, live, and travel all in the Marquis's mansion, so what money could you possibly spend? That's why I wanted to keep it for you, and I'll return it to you if you ever need it in the future!"
That's what they say, but Yunxi is already a concubine in the Marquis's mansion, so what else could she possibly need money for in the future?
“Madam is so thoughtful,” Yunxi said, taking the token from her bosom and gently stroking it with her fingers. “This is indeed the first gift Madam has given me. Although we are related by blood, we are not destined to be family. I was separated from my family when I was young, and I often wondered what kind of person my mother was…”
"Perhaps you don't think of me often, but I think of you all the time."
Tears gradually welled up in Yunxi's eyes.
"However, my wife and I were ultimately not meant to be, and even this only thing I cherished could not be kept."
According to her, this token was not the one that allowed her to withdraw three thousand taels of silver every month, but rather the only keepsake her mother had given her.
Upon hearing this, Madam Yun's expression immediately changed.
Yun Wan coughed and said, "Sister, you say it's something you long for, but what does the three thousand taels of silver you take out every month amount to?"
Forget about any lingering thoughts; the huge losses they cause the Yun family every month are undeniable!
The moment the mention of the three thousand taels of silver was mentioned, the emotion on Madam Yun's face vanished completely.
Nothing is more important than money.
Yunxi sighed softly, "Never mind. Since Madam won't even leave me this last thought, she must be very dissatisfied with me and wants to sever ties with me. I'll consider my visit today as a farewell to Madam."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Rang added with a look of tenderness, "It's alright, Xi'er, you still have me."
Upon hearing this, Madam Yun's brow twitched immediately.
She just wanted to take back the token; she didn't mean to sever her mother-daughter relationship with Yunxi!
After all, Yunxi is the apple of Shen Rang's eye. If he were to lose contact with her, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
"Hey! Let's talk this out! You're my own child, I found you after you were lost for so many years, how could I not want to have anything to do with you!"
Yunxi pursed her lips: "Madam, there's no need to say any more. If you're not even willing to leave me with such a thought, then what is there to talk about entanglement? Forget it, it seems I'm truly destined to wander aimlessly. Madam, please take this token back!"
After saying that, she handed the token forward, as if she didn't want to linger any longer.
She finally handed it over, but Madam Yun dared not accept it: "You child, I'm not after this little bit of silver. I was only doing this for your own good, but I didn't expect you to misunderstand... Sigh! Never mind, you can keep the token!"
Yun Wan gritted her teeth even more.
She never imagined that Shen Rang would be willing to speak up for this bitch!
Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then held the token in both hands and pressed it against her heart, her face full of disbelief: "Really? Is Madam really willing to give me the token?"
Madam Yun smiled, but her heart was bleeding: "Of course, what's given to you is yours, so just keep it!"
Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears: "Thank you, Madam! Madam, the weather is getting cold now, please wear more clothes to avoid catching a cold. I will listen to my sister obediently in the Yun family. If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best. Please rest assured, Madam."
Her words were somewhat agreeable, and Madam Yun's expression softened considerably.
Yunxi glanced at Yunwan, who was practically grinding her teeth to powder, then smiled sheepishly, "Thank you so much, Madam, for bringing me back from the countryside. There are so many amazing things in Luoyang City, all those jewels and ornaments are dazzling! It's just a pity I'm broke, so even if I see something I like, I don't dare to buy it..."
These words made Madam Yun's vision go black.
Three thousand taels a month, and she's already feeling shy?!
Why are you so shy?!
