Chapter 345
Seeing her like this, Shen Rang suddenly felt uneasy.
He could not hide her feelings from her.
But he always hoped to hear her explain things clearly herself.
He would listen and believe her as long as she spoke.
In the past few days, Shen Rang had been trying to probe her from time to time, but Yun Xi always kept silent. Because of this, Shen Rang's heart grew colder and colder.
He always felt that his heart was drifting further and further away from Yunxi, so he tried everything he could to bring them closer, and wished they would never be separated again.
But no matter how passionate they were at night, when dawn broke, their hearts and their lives drifted apart.
Chen Rang remained silent and walked away on his own.
Yunxi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Auntie, it wasn't a big deal to begin with. In my opinion, it would have been fine as long as we talked it out. Why did you...?"
"The lady herself said not to let the young master know yet," Yunxi sighed, "I'm afraid he might do something."
However, regardless of the circumstances, since Madam Zheng had said those words, she couldn't say them.
"Fortunately, the imperial examinations have already begun. Once this period is over, I will speak openly with the Crown Prince."
Jixiang nodded.

Meanwhile, Shen Rang should have left the mansion directly, but after passing through the hanging flower gate, he turned around and headed towards the guest residence.
Duan Huaichuan had already packed his things and seemed to be waiting for someone.
Shen Rang knew who he was waiting for.
He didn't say anything, didn't go inside, and just left.
Jing Yuan followed behind him, his head full of questions.
What's wrong with our young master?
They came and went inexplicably.
As he was wondering, he heard Shen Rang speak up: "Jingyuan, what will happen if cheating in the imperial examination is discovered?"
"The lightest punishment is a lifetime ban from taking exams; the heaviest is beheading." Jing Yuan looked cautiously at Shen Rang. "Your Highness, didn't you already know that?"
"......Um."
Jing Yuan was even more puzzled by Shen Rang's inexplicable question.
After a moment of silence, Jingyuan asked in confusion, "Your Highness, isn't this where we go to take our shifts?"
Shen Rang is currently in the Ministry of Personnel, but the road they are taking... is clearly leading to the Examination Hall!
"Let's go later."
Sensing that something was wrong with Shen Rang, Jing Yuan had no choice but to remain silent.
Even though it was still early, the area in front of the examination hall was already crowded with people, and many carriages belonging to powerful and wealthy families were parked around it.
Shen Rang and Jing Yuan stood at a distance on horseback.
"Hey, that's our family's carriage!" Jingyuan's eyes lit up.
The next moment, Duan Huaichuan and Yun Xi came down together.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, appearing very harmonious.
For a moment, Jing Yuan even had the urge to gouge out his own eyes.
He might as well be blind!
And that mouth, how did it move so fast!
Shen Rang's gaze also fell on the two of them from afar.
These past few days, Yunxi has been running around trying to help Duan Huaichuan, and now she's even personally come to take him to the exam...
She never gave him a gift.
At this moment, Shen Rang was so consumed by jealousy that he seemed to have completely forgotten that Yun Xi hadn't come to Luoyang at all during his exams and didn't even know him.
