Chapter 290
Luoyang, the Marquis's residence.
The next few days were peaceful.
Shen Rang always felt that something was wrong with Yun Xi, but upon closer inspection, Yun Xi's every move was exactly the same as usual. Shen Rang could only keep that inexplicable and subtle feeling to himself.
In Liuyun Garden, Yunwan was anything but at ease.
She copied the scriptures for several days in a row, and finally finished on this day.
After reading through the sutra she had copied from beginning to end, Yun Wan frowned: "Copying sutras is really too difficult."
When she gets a little agitated, her handwriting changes too; there are several places in this piece where her handwriting isn't very neat.
Pearl comforted her, "Young Madam, it's already quite remarkable that you were able to calm down and finish copying this. Madam would be overjoyed to see it, so why would she nitpick?"
After thinking about it, Yun Wan said, "That makes sense. Let's pack up and go with you to pay our respects to our mother-in-law."
"yes."
After carefully putting the scripture away, the master and servant went straight to Rongxi Hall.
The two arrived at an inopportune time; Madam Zheng had just gone to the small Buddhist hall and wouldn't be out for a while, so Yunwan had no choice but to wait outside.
Rongxi Hall is permeated with sandalwood inside and out; even without burning incense, you can always smell the sandalwood scent.
Everyone says that sandalwood can calm the mind, but it had no effect on Yun Wan.
As time passed, she became increasingly restless and unable to sit still.
Finally, a very light footstep came from outside. Yun Wan subconsciously got up and saw Zheng Shi walk in from outside.
"Mother-in-law," Yun Wan greeted with a smile.
Madam Zheng nodded slightly and walked to the head seat: "What brings you here today?"
Her attitude was cold, and Yun Wan's smile became unnatural for a moment: "...These days, I've been reflecting on myself all the time. Even though I wanted to stand up for my mother-in-law, I used the wrong method and almost ruined my cousin's life. It was really my fault."
Hearing her say that, Zheng's expression softened: "It's not easy for you to reflect on yourself."
Yun Wan pursed her lips, then handed over the scripture she had copied herself: "These past few days, your daughter-in-law has been busy copying a scripture. Please take a look, Mother-in-law."
Zheng looked surprised, took the book and read it carefully, but couldn't help feeling disappointed.
To be honest, it's already quite remarkable that Yunwan, at her age, could calm down and copy an entire scroll of scripture. Even if her handwriting is occasionally messy, it's not something to criticize.
However, Zheng had seen Yunxi's copy.
He was incredibly meticulous; every stroke was perfectly straight.
Therefore, with Yunxi's masterpiece preceding it, Yunwan's copy is somewhat lacking in quality.
Yun Wan took in the disappointment on Zheng's face and felt a sense of foreboding.
She's been copying books for so long, and the soreness in her hands still hasn't subsided. After suffering so much, will she be unable to complete the task in the end?
Yun Wan shuddered.
no.
This matter has to be done, no matter what!
Yun Wan took a breath and said, "Mother-in-law, I know I was in the wrong first, and I have no face to ask for the management of the household back, but the New Year is almost over, and you will be busy with my cousin's wedding. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to manage it all by yourself."
“If the mother-in-law doesn’t need the daughter-in-law’s help, then the daughter-in-law will go back now.”
With that, Yun Wan curtsied.
She turned to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Madam Zheng: "Wait a minute!"
Yun Wan turned around and looked at Zheng Shi with a puzzled expression.
Zheng pressed her temples.
