Chapter 306
Zheng Shi was usually calm, so his sudden strong reaction stunned Yao Susu.
However, Yunxi seemed to have anticipated this, and remained sitting there calmly.
Yao Susu looked at Yunxi, then at Zheng Shi, and asked blankly, "What's wrong?"
Seeing her like this, Madam Zheng gritted her teeth and after a long while said, "I really don't know how your mother raised her children!"
Yao Susu blinked.
Just then, the carriage stopped, and Madam Zheng gave Yao Susu a deep look before getting up and leaving.
Yunxi and Yao Susu followed her hurried steps and entered the Marquis's residence together.
Yao Susu quietly tugged at Yunxi's sleeve and asked, "What's wrong with my aunt? Why is she suddenly so angry?"
Yunxi glanced at Madam Zheng in front of her, then quickened her pace: "Perhaps what you mean is that raising children well is what parents should do, so when you choose a husband, you don't need to completely disregard your own feelings."
Saying it doesn't matter who you marry... how could it possibly be the same?
What if that person is all show and no substance?
Just because someone comes from a good family, does that mean I should risk my life?
After Yunxi finished speaking, Yao Susu remained silent for a long time.
Her eyes were lowered, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
The three hurried through the front yard and past the hanging flower gate, before Zheng slowed her pace a bit: "What Auntie said is right, that's what I meant too."
Yao Susu snapped out of her daze and looked around at the scene in a daze.
Why are they walking so fast?
After walking a little further, Madam Zheng stopped and said, "Looking for someone can't be rushed. Send your mother back first, and you can take your time to choose one you like."
Yao Susu was still worried: "But what if our social standing isn't a good match..."
Zheng said helplessly, "What do you take me for as your aunt? I will choose a suitable match for you based on your social standing first, and then you can pick one from among them."
Hearing this, Yao Susu was relieved: "Thank you, Auntie!"
For the next few days, Madam Zheng kept Yunxi and Yao Susu busy attending banquets.
Shen Rang and Yun Xi were both exhausted, and they managed to take a break for several days.
Finally, the day arrived. Shen Rang had been busy for several days and finally got a day off. He had also finished attending all the banquets that Zheng Shi had to attend, and the two of them tacitly relaxed at home.
That morning, Yunxi was doing her makeup at her dressing table. The window in front of her was open, and she could see Shen Rang practicing his sword in the courtyard.
Shen Rang passed the imperial examination with top honors and was also skilled in swordsmanship. Moreover, he was agile and his moves were clean and swift. Yun Xi could not tell the level of his martial arts skills, and she was captivated by his imposing figure.
It wasn't until Shen Rang stopped his attack and gave her a smile that Yun Xi belatedly came to her senses.
His gaze unconsciously swept across the bronze mirror, and he saw that the woman's cheeks were flushed, as if she had applied rouge.
"Today is so convenient, I don't even need to use rouge!" Le'an chuckled.
Yunxi gave her a reproachful look: "When did you put on rouge?"
Knowing she was shy, Le'an chuckled and looked at Jixiang.
At this time in the past, Jixiang would have already been laughing with her, but today, Jixiang seemed to have something on her mind, and kept her head down without looking at her.
At this moment, Shen Rang walked in, looked at Yun Xi who had already tidied up, and said, "Would you like to come with me to the front yard?"
He had promised Duan Huaichuan that he could see Yunxi twice a month, but it wasn't a matter of whenever he wanted.
He has to be there.
He had some free time today, so he accompanied Yunxi to see her.
Yunxi snapped out of her daze and nodded.
"Let's go eat first, no rush."
——
Liuyun Garden.
Emerald walked in from outside with a happy expression, waved away the maids in the room, and handed several silver notes to Yunwan.
