Chapter 272
Under the management of Madam Zheng and Yun Wan, the Marquis's mansion was transformed in just one day. The entire place was filled with joy, and the servants, who had received their rewards, were all genuinely happy.
Since Baiju had a master, Zheng Shi did not interfere and let Yunxi arrange things herself.
With red lanterns and spring banners hung up, and couplets written by Shen Rang himself pasted on every door in the courtyard, and paper-cut window decorations pasted on the windows, the courtyard was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.
Shen Rang was so immersed in it that he felt somewhat disoriented.
This is so festive!
Zheng was of a plain and unassuming nature. Even during holidays when she was in charge of the household, there was no festive atmosphere. At most, the food was a little more plentiful than usual. Therefore, after so many years in the mansion, this was the first time he had ever witnessed such a strong festive atmosphere.
Seeing Shen Rang staring blankly at the courtyard, Yun Xi felt a little uneasy.
Could it be that Shen Rang got angry because she ruined his calligraphy?
She lowered her eyes and tugged at Chen Rang's sleeve: "Zirong, are you angry?"
Shen Rang snapped out of his daze and took her hand in his palm: "Why do you say that?"
"Those Spring Festival couplets you wrote, did I put up too many of them? Did I not cherish them enough?"
Hearing this, Shen Rang chuckled and pulled the person into his arms with a forceful pull: "It shows that you cherish it by posting it out. That way, you can see my words everywhere and you will always think of me."
Yunxi's ear tips turned slightly red.
Jixiang and Le'an, who were standing to the side, exchanged a glance and then covered their mouths and laughed.
Shen Rang embraced the person and said, "It's getting late, let's get ready, we'll be going to the banquet soon."
"Um."
The New Year's Eve banquet is a grand occasion, but that's precisely why Yunxi's attire needs to be understated and simply presentable.
As dusk approached, Shen Rang and Yun Xi walked together toward the banquet venue.
At this moment, Luo Shi and Yao Susu had already arrived at the dining room.
Both women were dressed up meticulously, especially Luo, who was dressed in a gorgeous and grand manner, completely outshining Zheng.
This shows that after realizing their daughter couldn't be married into the Marquis's family, they stopped taking Zheng Shi seriously.
"What exactly is going to happen with my Susu?" Luo asked, adopting the air of an elder.
Zheng's attitude towards her had changed from avoiding her at the beginning to not caring at all: "After the New Year, I will personally help Susu find a match."
Luo nodded slightly, maintaining her composure: "You are Susu's cousin, so you'll have to take good care of Susu's marriage."
"Um."
Luo's eyes darted around, then her gaze fell on Yun Wan again, and she couldn't help but grind her back teeth.
That little bitch actually dared to tamper with Su Su's body!
Losing her management rights is what she deserves! In her opinion, it's far from enough!
If that little bitch falls into her hands, she'll definitely teach her a lesson!
Yun Wan naturally noticed Luo's unfriendly gaze, which made her uncomfortable, but since she was in the wrong, she could only silently endure it.
But then I thought, wasn't she doing all this to vent her anger for Zheng?
Since Madam Luo didn't dare to do anything to Madam Zheng, she could only take her anger out on a junior like her. It was really too much.
Just then, Shen Rang and Yun Xi arrived.
The two had clearly been chatting and laughing all the way here, and the smiles on their faces hadn't faded yet.
Seeing this scene, Yun Wan felt even worse.
She was being bullied like this here, while her husband came with another woman, and even though they clearly sensed something was wrong in the room, he didn't say a word.
She had indeed misunderstood Shen Rang.
When Shen Rang arrived, he was met with Luo Shi's gaze, and he didn't even have time to look at Yun Wan.
"Oh, Aunt Yun has finally arrived," Aunt Chen, who had been sitting in the corner, stood up and walked towards Yun Xi when she saw her. "Of all the masters in this house, now that you're here, I finally have some company!"
