Chapter 276
Yunxi returned to Jibai Residence and, instead of disturbing the servants' enjoyment, went to the kitchen to busy herself.
When Shen Rang returned, he found the courtyard completely dark. He searched around but couldn't find Yun Xi. Just as he was wondering what was going on, he saw Yun Xi return with a plate of dumplings.
Seeing that he had returned so quickly, Yunxi's eyes lit up: "Zirong, you're back just in time!"
Shen Rang took the plate and asked in confusion, "Aren't all the servants in our courtyard resting? Where did these dumplings come from?"
"I started the fire myself," Yunxi said, "but it's been so long since I've lit a fire, I didn't get the heat right, and a few dumplings broke while cooking..."
As she spoke, Yunxi moved all the broken dumplings to her side, leaving the whole dumplings for Chen Rang.
Shen Rang remained silent, then turned the broken dumplings in his hand to his side: "I've already eaten some, so I'm not very hungry."
Yunxi smiled broadly, and while eating, she asked him if anything had happened at the banquet earlier.
After listening to Shen Rang finish speaking, Yun Xi looked shocked and even stopped eating.
I knew Yao Susu was smart, but I didn't expect her to be this smart. In just a few words, she turned the whole situation around!
Before she could think any further, fireworks went off outside. The two exchanged a glance and then each put on a cloak and went out.
Fireworks of all colors rose from different places, blooming in the black night sky, falling in profusion like rain.
This was the first time Yunxi had ever seen such a grand scene.
Although I was also in the Marquis's mansion in my previous life, I was confined to a small back room. On New Year's Eve, I could only hear the bursts of firecrackers, but I could not see the magnificent fireworks.
Yunxi was lost in thought as she gazed at the fireworks before her, completely unaware that a gaze was fixed on her from the side, the phoenix eyes filled with undisguised deep affection.
The servants playing in the mansion also looked up and discussed excitedly which firework was the most beautiful.
Duan Huaichuan was also drawn to the spectacular fireworks and temporarily put down the book he was reading.
Granny Liu left through the small side gate, brushed past the bustling crowd on the street, and returned to a quiet little house, where she stuffed the still-warm red envelope into the young girl's hand.
Beneath the fireworks, a scene of harmony and joy unfolded.
The fireworks lasted for a full quarter of an hour before stopping.
Yunxi turned her head to look.
It's past midnight.
It's a new year.
——
The second day of the Lunar New Year is the day when women return to their parents' home.
The supplies were prepared early in the morning, and everyone set off for the Yun family early that morning.
Yun Changliang and his wife were already prepared and welcomed the group into their home.
Everyone was beaming with joy. Although Yun Wan was in a bad mood, she didn't show it. However, when she saw that Yun Xi received the same treatment as her and even received a red envelope of the same thickness, the smile she had been carefully maintaining finally cracked.
"Look at her! Xi'er has only been back for a few months, and she's already grown up completely!" Madam Yun said with a smile. "Indeed, the feng shui of Luoyang City is truly nurturing!"
Yunxi smiled slightly, but did not respond.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Madam Yun noticed that Yun Changliang wanted to speak with Shen Rang alone, so she said, "Wanwan, Xi'er, shall we go for a walk in the backyard?"
"yes."
The mother and her two daughters left together, but just after passing through the hanging flower gate, Yun Wan took two steps forward and took Madam Yun's arm.
