Chapter 294
The news also reached Jibaiju.
As Jixiang recounted the events, Yunxi couldn't help but sigh.
It's truly a cruel twist of fate.
but......
"Was it common for children to abscond in Luoyang back then?"
If the Yun family is lost, then the Yunnan Prince's Mansion is also lost.
This is already unbelievable enough that it happened once, but now it's not over yet.
Le'an twitched the corner of her mouth: "Auntie, this kind of thing is unlikely to become popular."
Yunxi blinked: "I was just kidding."
After saying that, she picked up the wooden rabbit and started playing with it.
I don't know if the things she bought before were delivered to Qingshui Village, or if her parents liked them.
——
As dusk approached, Shen Rang finally returned.
Shen Rang got up early and was called over by Shen Jun, and they've been sitting there ever since.
Yunxi put down the rabbit and went to greet him.
She said nothing, but simply helped Shen Rang take off his cloak and placed it on the clothes rack beside him.
She was tidying up the clothes on the hanger when she was suddenly pulled into a warm and familiar embrace.
Shen Rang's voice rang softly in my ear: "You've been acting strangely these past few days."
Yunxi pursed her lips, continuing to arrange the luxurious cloak in her hands: "...That's not true."
An irresistible force suddenly gripped her shoulder, turning her body halfway around until she was face-to-face with the person behind her.
Meeting Shen Rang's gaze, Yun Xi forced an unnatural smile: "You went there so early in the morning, did something happen?"
As Yunxi spoke, she tried to distance herself from Shen Rang, but Shen Rang's arm was across her waist, leaving her nowhere to retreat.
"Yes, the Prince of Yunnan will be going to the capital after suppressing the bandits. His Highness the Crown Prince values him highly and asked us to discuss how to win him over."
Yunxi tilted her head: "But didn't His Highness the Crown Prince order the Heir Apparent to be a spy?"
“Yes,” Shen Rang’s eyes sparkled with amusement, “so I came back. They haven’t come up with a solution yet.”
Since the goal is to win people over, it's an open matter. He, as a covert agent, doesn't need to get involved. He only stayed there for a day to make a show of it. Others will have to go tomorrow, but he doesn't need to.
"Oh, I see." Yunxi looked down and straightened his collar. "It's almost time, shall we go have dinner?"
Seeing her like this, Shen Rang pursed his lips.
Yunxi has been like this for the past few days.
Her actions were as considerate and thoughtful as ever, but he hadn't seen those affectionate eyes of hers in a long time.
Thinking about it carefully, Yunxi's strange behavior seemed to have started from the day he started painting at home.
Shen Rang frowned slightly.
That painting was a pastime he created when he had nothing else to do; it depicted the person in front of him.
He didn't really want Yunxi to know about this.
Because the painting is... not very proper, if Yunxi finds out, that painting might not be safe.
However, it now seems that Yunxi misunderstood him because of that painting.
Since that's the case, let's just forget about saving face.
"Xi'er, actually..."
Just as he was about to reveal everything, Jingyuan's voice rang out from outside: "Young Master, the young mistress requests your presence, saying she has something to discuss with you."
Shen Rang frowned slightly, about to refuse, when the person in his arms said, "The young mistress doesn't call you often, something must have happened. You should go quickly."
This is the proper way to address someone.
If he doesn't bring this up now, he'll never hear the name "Zirong" from Yunxi again.
