Chapter 332
The marriage between the Yun and Shu families was thus settled, and both families were at ease.
After lunch, everyone dispersed.
However, Yun Wan did not want to return to the Marquis's mansion so soon. Instead, she wanted to take Shen Rang to see the boudoir where she had grown up.
That boudoir was where she had lived since childhood, and even though she is now married, it still retains traces of her past life.
A man who sees the most private parts of a woman's life, where she grew up, will surely be tempted.
Madam Yun smiled as she watched Yun Wan act coquettishly, saying, "Wanwan, you should be more dignified in front of your son-in-law. What kind of behavior is this?"
Despite this, Madam Yun's eyes were full of smiles, without a trace of blame.
Yun Wan pouted: "I don't want to put on airs in front of people I'm close to. Husband, just come back with me for a walk!"
But Shen Rang had no interest in getting involved in her life.
Before he came, he promised to give Yun Wan a semblance of respectability, but now, Yun Wan has clearly overstepped her bounds.
Seeing that Yun Wan was still extending invitations to him, Shen Rang simply put down his teacup and asked indifferently, "Where will Xi'er stay after she returns?"
His question immediately froze the atmosphere in the hall.
Madam Yun and Yun Wan's smiles froze on their faces, looking somewhat comical.
Where do you live?
We'll live in the most remote and dilapidated courtyard in the entire Yun Mansion!
Actually, I don't know why. After all, she is her own blood relative. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Madam Yun thought she would feel a natural closeness to Yun Xi, but she didn't.
Yun Xi was not close to her, and Madam Yun naturally did not care much about her. Considering that she came from a rural area, this dilapidated courtyard in the Minister's mansion was a step up for her, so she arranged it for Yun Xi casually.
Originally, Madam Yun didn't think there was anything wrong with her arrangement, but now that Shen Rang asked about it, she realized that such an arrangement was really inadequate.
Taking in the expressions of the mother and daughter, Shen Rang gave a cool smile and said, "The backyard is not a place I can freely enter and leave, so I won't disturb you any longer. If Madam doesn't want to leave, she can spend more time with her mother. Farewell."
After saying that, Shen Rang actually ignored Yun Wan and stood up to leave.
Watching his figure disappear, Madam Yun sighed, "The young master's temperament is really too cold."
"She's only cold to me," Yun Wan said with a mocking expression, "but she's incredibly warm towards... my second sister."
Madam Yun patted her hand comfortingly and said, "Wanwan, you've been wronged."
Yun Wan smiled sadly and said nothing more.
——
A guest at the Marquis's residence.
Yunxi looked at the thick stack of letters from home, which resembled a brick, and felt somewhat helpless.
The Chen family would send her letters every now and then, but the thickness of the letters never diminished.
Seeing her helplessness, Duan Huaichuan also sighed, "Your teacher and his wife have always been thinking of you."
"Hmm..." Yunxi's fingers unconsciously brushed over the envelope. "I miss my parents too."
She suddenly remembered her past life.
In her past life, did Chen Zongwen and his wife send her such thick letters from home every now and then, just like they do now?
How much did she miss in her past life...?
Seeing that Yunxi's mood suddenly dropped, Duan Huaichuan said, "Just read it here. I have pen and ink here. Write down the letter you want to reply, and I'll mail it out tomorrow."
Yunxi was in the backyard, which made movement quite difficult for her. Duan Huaichuan's suggestion saved her a lot of trouble, but...
"Won't this disturb your reading?"
Duan Huaichuan shook his head.
Yunxi then opened the letter without worry.
It was afternoon, and the courtyard was very warm. A tall, slender man held a book in his hands, while a woman bent over her desk reading a letter. From a distance, the scene looked peaceful and serene.
Yunxi initially found it fascinating, but by the end, she felt dejected.
