Chapter 242
Is this some kind of ghost?
Shen Rang turned his head and looked at it carefully to make sure he wasn't mistaken.
Zheng's attitude towards Yunxi is really different from before.
Before anyone else could say anything, Madam Luo couldn't hold back any longer: "Is this the rule of your Marquis's mansion? Not only can concubines attend formal banquets, but they can also sit at the table to eat? You, as the mistress of the house, have truly disgraced everyone!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Rang's expression changed: "Aunt, please watch your words."
How could a son stand by and watch his mother be insulted like that?
Therefore, it is only natural for him to defend himself.
Strangely enough, Luo Shi didn't take Shen Rang's mother seriously, but when it came to Shen Rang, she was completely defeated and stopped talking.
At this moment, the servants brought over two round stools: "Please sit down, Auntie."
Without a word, Aunt Chen sat down. Yunxi was still in disbelief, and after glancing at Madam Zheng and seeing her nod, she sat down as well.
During the meal, everyone had different thoughts, and Shen Rang ate without tasting anything.
Can anyone tell him that he just came back from outside and went to Jibaiju to change his clothes? What exactly happened here?
After finishing their meal, Shen Rang and Yun Xi returned to Ji Bai Ju. Before Shen Rang could even ask anything, Zhou Mama arrived with a gift for Yun Xi.
"Madam said that she felt guilty for treating the concubine that way without knowing the truth last time, so she asked us to send some things to the concubine as compensation."
Shen Rang didn't show it on his face, but his doubts deepened.
Even if Madam Zheng felt guilty, she could have just sent anyone over; why bother Madam Zhou?
This pile of gifts is more than just a simple expression of goodwill!
Yunxi smiled sweetly and said, "Please thank Madam for me, Mother."
After saying that, she personally slipped a purse into her hand.
Madam Zhou refused to accept the money, and said with a smile, "Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. I will naturally pass on these words as they were."
"It's so kind of you, Mom, to make this trip. I would feel really bad if I didn't do something for you," Yunxi said. "Please accept this, Mom."
Her attitude was sincere, and Zhou's mother readily accepted it, feeling even more satisfied with Yunxi.
This person is sensible.
Recalling Yunwan's performance just now... it's no wonder that Madam Zheng felt disheartened.
As a daughter-in-law, she remained silent and even watched the spectacle as her mother-in-law was humiliated, while the concubine, of low status, stood up for her. Comparing the two, even Zhou's mother herself would prefer Yunxi.
After seeing Zhou Mama off, Yunxi had just returned to the warm pavilion when she was pulled into a warm embrace: "It seems that my Xi'er is truly loved by everyone now?"
Yunxi blushed: "Zirong, why are you teasing me too...?"
Shen Rang chuckled softly and asked what had happened earlier. Yun Xi naturally told him everything without reservation.
Shen Rang listened with a complicated expression.
He had long known that the Zheng family and the Luo family were at odds, but he never expected the Luo family to be so domineering.
He sighed, "Xi'er, thank goodness I have you."
Yunxi smiled sheepishly and said modestly, "This is something that the young mistress should have done, but perhaps the young mistress has some other concerns that prevented her from speaking up. I was afraid that the madam would think I was too talkative."
After saying that, Yunxi pressed her face against Shen Rang's chest, making sure Shen Rang couldn't see her mischievous smile.
She would never miss an opportunity to sow discord between Yun Wan and others.
Sure enough, Shen Rang's expression darkened slightly upon hearing her words.
——
The fact that Zheng sent gifts to Yunxi was naturally not kept secret from Liuyun Garden.
