Chapter 33
Upon arriving at the study in the front courtyard, Jingyuan quickly took the teacup from her: "Miss Chenxi, I'll take it back for you."
If he were to fall on the road, Shen Rang would be heartbroken.
Yunxi looked touched: "Brother Jingyuan, you are such a kind person."
Seeing the silly little maid looking so touched with Jing Yuan, Shen Rang felt a pang of sadness in his heart.
He took the tea set from Jingyuan and strode towards the backyard.
Jingyuan and Yunxi exchanged a glance and then followed.
Upon reaching the entrance of Liuyun Garden, Shen Rang turned around, handed the teacup to Yunxi, and added, "Take good care of it."
Yunxi quickly and carefully reached out to take it.
She's not stupid; how could she not even be able to hold a teacup properly?
He followed Shen Rang into the main hall, apologized to Yun Wan, and offered her a cup of tea. Yun Wan had received a set of black Jian ware teacups from Shen Rang, so she naturally wouldn't hold it against him anymore, and the matter was considered over.
However, after this incident, Pearl didn't know what to do with Yunxi.
If she were asked to do the rough work, she might recklessly injure herself, which would then implicate Yunwan. If she were asked to do the delicate work, Pearl feared that she would repeat the tragedy that happened in the teahouse.
Yunxi's fall destroyed several sets of teacups and new tea; even the largest family fortune can't withstand such a wreck.
Left with no other choice, Pearl had to tell her to go back to the back room, while she herself returned to Yunwan's side. Seeing Yunwan holding the teacup with obvious affection and no longer showing any anger on her face, she finally felt relieved.
Suddenly Jingyuan came over, cupped his hands and said, "Young Master, the Marquis requests that you go to the front courtyard immediately."
Since it was Shen Jun who summoned him, Yun Wan quickly and sensibly said, "Father-in-law must have something important to say, husband, please go quickly."
Shen Rang nodded, then got up and left, and Yun Wan personally saw him out.
As soon as Shen Rang left, Yun Wan's smile faded. She turned around and looked around the courtyard, but couldn't find the person she was looking for: "Where is she?"
"The second young lady is clumsy, so I sent her back."
Seeing Yun Wan's displeasure again, Pearl quickly said, "Young Madam, don't think about competing with the Second Miss right now. We're afraid of hurting her, so let's think of a way to win over the Young Master first!"
By then, they won't have to worry about so much and can do whatever they want.
Yun Wan's chest heaved violently a few times before she finally calmed down: "I remember there was a jade ruyi in my dowry list. Find it and come with me to see my mother-in-law."
Pearl's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned around to look for it.
Yun Wan's gaze fell venomously on the side door.
Wait until Yunxi gives birth, then we'll see how she deals with Yunxi!
Pearl was quick and efficient, and soon she brought over a brocade box. Inside lay a white jade ruyi, as long as a forearm and of excellent quality.
Yun Wan closed the brocade box again and led her to Rongxi Hall, where Zheng Shi was located.
Rongxi Hall was extremely quiet. The servants walked on tiptoe, so much so that the only sound in the large courtyard was the gentle murmur of flowing water.
Seeing Yun Wan approach, Zhou Mama hurriedly came forward: "Young Madam, the Old Madam is chanting scriptures in the room, what brings you here?"
Yun Wan lowered her voice and said, "I was just sorting out the dowry list and found a jade ruyi, which I was thinking of giving to my mother-in-law."
“I see,” Mrs. Zhou nodded. “Then please sit for a while, young mistress. The old lady will be out soon.”
Yun Wan nodded and took a seat in the hall.
