Chapter 339
Having come this far, Yunxi had no choice but to voice her concerns: "I'm afraid the young master will misunderstand if he finds out."
Hearing her say that, Madam Zheng's expression softened slightly: "So that's what it was about. Don't worry, Zirong isn't a petty person."
At this point, Zheng suddenly hesitated.
After a pause, Madam Zheng said, "Never mind, I admit I didn't think this through."
Hearing this, Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Madam Zheng continued, "Just keep it from Zirong for now, don't let him know."
It's easy for Yunxi to have contact with men outside the family, which could easily lead to misunderstandings. What if Shenrang finds out and something bad happens?
Yunxi: "......"
Just as she was about to say something more, Madam Zheng got up and walked over to her, personally helping her up.
“Duan Jieyuan’s abilities are valued not only by the Marquis but also by His Highness the Crown Prince. Therefore, winning him over is something our Marquis’s mansion must do. As a concubine in the mansion, it is your duty to contribute to the Marquis’s mansion,” Zheng said gently. “As for Zirong… let’s keep it a secret for now. Once this matter is settled, I will personally explain it to him.”
Yunxi opened her mouth, but when she met Zheng's threatening gaze, she had no choice but to swallow back the words that were about to come out, and instead said, "Yes, this concubine understands."
Madam Zheng was finally satisfied: "There's no reason for you to pay out of your own pocket for this. Mama Zhou, go to the young mistress's place and get some money to send to your aunt."
"yes."
Yunxi and Zhou's mother left Rongxi Hall together and headed towards the South Courtyard.
Along the way, seeing Yunxi's worried expression, Madam Zhou said, "Auntie, don't worry too much. The young master treats you differently than he treats others. Even if there is any misunderstanding, it will be resolved in time. It's alright."
Yunxi pursed her lips: "I understand."
While Zhou's mother went to get the silver, Yunxi returned to Liuyun Garden first.
Since Zheng had already given the order, she couldn't refuse, so she could only do her best to get things done.
But how should we do this?
Yunxi sat in the courtyard, her brow furrowed in worry.
When Zhou Mama brought her the silver, she gave her some advice: "Auntie, everything that needs to be brought into the imperial examination must be opened and checked in advance. There must be no writing on it. So, Auntie, don't prepare anything too complicated. Keep it simple and practical."
After saying that, Zhou's mother emphasized again: "Everything else is fine, but the handwriting must be absolutely perfect. Otherwise, if it is discovered, it will be a big problem!"
Yunxi nodded: "Don't worry, Mom. After the things are prepared, I will check them carefully before taking them to Madam so that she can see them before sending them over."
Hearing this, Zhou's mother was relieved: "Yes, if you're still unsure, go and discuss it with Madam. After all, you've never done anything like this before, so Madam won't say anything."
Yunxi nodded and personally saw Zhou's mother out of Jibai Residence. Then, looking utterly dejected, she returned to her courtyard and began to think about what to bring Duan Huaichuan.
Needless to say, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones are essential; clothes and bedding also need to be prepared...
With Zheng's orders in place, going out shouldn't be a problem, but before that, she had somewhere else to go.
Yunxi glanced at the sky.
It's too early to say; Chen Rang won't be back yet.
Go now.
"Le'an, come with me."
