Chapter 3
Before we knew it, dusk had fallen, and the outside was bustling with activity.
Jixiang brought in a set of clothes. Seeing that Yunxi was already awake, she placed the clothes directly on the bed: "Miss, this was sent from the front. They told you to change quickly, as we'll be going over as soon as it gets dark."
Yunxi's gaze lingered lazily on her clothes.
She was to be in Yun Wan's bridal chamber that night, so the clothes sent included even her underwear.
A bright red embroidered mandarin duck brocade top was placed underneath a set of bright red nightgowns, neat and tidy.
Yunxi frowned slightly, her thoughts drifting back to her past life.
The heir of the Marquis of Changping was named Shen Rang. Born into a marquis's family, he achieved the highest honors in the imperial examinations by passing all three levels of the imperial examinations. At a young age, he became the most sought-after person in the court. Both the Crown Prince and the First Prince were vying to recruit him into their ranks, but he was upright and honest, and therefore he was more favored by the emperor.
Outsiders only know that Chen Rang is calm and composed, even cold and aloof, but only Yun Xi knows that he is actually extremely unrestrained at heart. However, he carries the heavy burden of his family, so he cannot show his unrestrained side in normal times.
But since it's something ingrained in one's bones, it's not so easy to suppress.
In his past life, after Shen Rang tasted the pleasures of love, he became increasingly adventurous with his methods, which still make one blush when thinking about them now.
However, he was unrestrained and dissolute in bed, but once he got out of bed, he was a cold and unapproachable person, which often made Yunxi unable to figure out which one was the real him.
Yunxi's gaze fell on the heart-shaped garment, and her eyes darkened slightly.
As dusk fell, Yunxi had just changed her clothes when the door was suddenly pushed open.
Standing outside was Yun Wan's personal maid, named Pearl.
Pearl stood at the door, her cool gaze falling on Yunxi: "Second Miss, let's go."
After saying that, Pearl took the lead and walked towards the small door of the side room.
Yunxi followed.
The side room was carpeted, making it feel like walking on clouds. The room was fully equipped with bookshelves and desks, and there was also a bed.
Clearly, this place has been set up as a study.
Yun Wan, who hadn't even changed out of her wedding dress, sat on the bed, her contemptuous gaze sweeping over her from head to toe: "If you slip up later, you'll regret it."
Upon seeing Yun Wan again, Yun Xi's resentment surged up once more, and the bloody scene seemed to reappear before her eyes.
She took two deep breaths and told herself to calm down.
Now is not the time to tear off all ties.
Yunxi lowered her eyes and said softly, "Yes."
Yun Wan stared intently at the departing figure, her eyes like knives that seemed to pierce through Yun Xi's back!
Yunxi bent her back slightly, and feeling the gaze behind her, she gave a cool smile.
Dear sister, in this life, it's time for someone else to be the fish.
The path from this door to the bed is the one she knows best; even after all these years, she can still walk it with her eyes closed.
Just like in her previous life, Yunxi extinguished all the candles in the room, leaving only one by the door, and then lowered the bed curtains.
The bedroom was large, and the candlelight at the door could barely illuminate the path. She was hidden in the bed curtains, so Shen Rang could not see her face at all.
The room was quiet. Just as Yunxi was about to fall asleep, the door was finally opened, and a figure stood in the doorway.
After a pause, the person at the door stepped into the room and walked step by step toward the bed.
Shen Rang had naturally heard about his new wife.
I've heard that the Yun family has been extremely protective of her, and just looking at the grand procession they put on her wedding day, I know that's no exaggeration.
Since she was pampered and spoiled growing up, she was bound to have some spoiled mannerisms. Today, her every move was in line with his expectations. However, seeing her sitting there obediently and shyly, as if she had become a different person, Chen Rang was momentarily dazed.
However, now that he has married her, he will naturally take on the responsibilities he should bear and will not embarrass her.
Shen Rang walked to the bedside and stood still, bowing his head slightly as he looked at his newlywed wife.
The candlelight was too dim for him to see her face clearly.
Suddenly, a pleasant woman's fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and Chen Rang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
“...My husband,” the woman’s voice was very soft, “may I...help you undress?”
"Um."
With permission granted, Yunxi stood up and carefully and meticulously removed his clothes.
Her movements were cautious, unlike what I had just seen.
Shen Rang frowned involuntarily.
However, he soon came to a realization.
After all, she is a woman, so it's not surprising that she would feel shy when faced with such a situation.
That's why Shen Rang felt he should take the initiative.
But the problem is, he doesn't.
He's never even seen a fire-avoidance diagram in his entire life.
Just as Shen Rang was calmly considering how to proceed, the woman beside him made the first move.
She raised her arms to wrap around his neck, carefully tiptoed, and kissed his lips.
As they got closer, Shen Rang could see the woman's eyelashes trembling slightly.
Shen Rang grabbed the woman's waist, spun her around, and pinned her down.
Shen Rang increasingly felt that his wife was truly a treasure bestowed upon him by God.
Despite it being their first time, his wife somehow managed to be perfectly compatible with him. Without even communicating, a small gesture from her would elicit an unexpected yet incredibly satisfying response from him.
It turns out that this matter doesn't require deliberate study; one only needs to follow one's heart...
Inside the side room, listening to the commotion outside, Yun Wan's face was extremely pale.
Pearl carefully observed Yun Wan's expression and said, "Young Madam, how about we go for a stroll in the back?"
If Pearl stayed here any longer, she feared Yun Wan would be unable to resist rushing out.
The two people outside are having a heated argument; as long as they keep their movements low, they definitely won't be discovered.
Yun Wan clenched her teeth and gently shook her head.
Her eyes were fixed intently on the door leading to the main house.
Outside was her husband.
However, at this moment, her husband was with another woman...
Yun Wan took a deep breath and tried to tell herself that the woman outside was nothing more than a tool for bearing her children.
After giving birth, she has a hundred ways to kill that woman.
Why would she get so angry over a mere tool...?
The commotion outside didn't stop until midnight, and Shen Rang called for water in a hoarse voice.
Yunxi was shy and refused to let him light the lamp, but Shen Rang chuckled and let her have her way.
After a thorough cleaning, Shen Rang fell into a deep sleep, and Yun Xi was finally able to get up and go to the side room.
The door to the side room had just closed behind her, and before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Yun Wan's voice rang out softly: "Little sister, you're putting on such a proper act, I never knew you were so good at serving people! How does it feel?"
Yun Wan was clearly furious; her last words were practically squeezed out between her teeth.
Yunxi kept her head down, still adopting a submissive posture, but her face remained completely expressionless.
If you really ask,
She only had one thing to say—
Your husband is wonderful.
