Chapter 353
Sensing the worry in her voice, Shen Rang smiled and said, "The Marquis's mansion has an imperial edict; I will be fine."
If even an imperial edict has been issued, then this is no small matter.
“If you believe him, I’ll believe him this once too,” Shen Rang said. “Will that make you feel better?”
"...I'm not angry." Yunxi tilted her head awkwardly.
A soft laugh came from behind: "Yes, yes, my Xi'er is the most generous. How could she get angry over such a small thing?"
Shen Rang lowered his eyes slightly, looking at the blush on Yun Xi's ears. The teasing thought that had just arisen in his mind was suppressed by him.
Yunxi is pregnant now, so we can't bother her anymore.
However, there is one very important thing that I still need to clarify with Yunxi—
What did you just call me?
"...Zi Rong."
“I heard everything,” a dark glint flashed in Shen Rang’s eyes. “I’ll remember this for now and report it later.”
After saying that, Shen Rang let go of her hand: "The weather is nice today, you might as well go out for a walk. I'll change my clothes and go to the palace now."
Yunxi didn't leave, but followed him into the inner room to help him change his clothes.
Shen Rang looked down at her, his eyes burning with intensity.
Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze: "...I'm just trying to curry favor now, hoping that Zirong will go easy on me in the future."
Shen Rang chuckled softly.
How could he bear to hurt her so badly?
Yunxi's movements were gentle yet efficient, and she changed his clothes in no time.
Yunxi took another step forward and wrapped her arms around his waist: "Zirong, I'm sorry."
Like Shen Rang, she shouldn't doubt him either.
Shen Rang didn't say anything, but gently hugged her, feeling a pang of tenderness in his heart.
He was in the wrong first.
Even though he knew the two were innocent, he still hurt them because of his own prejudice and possessiveness.
How could he possibly accept an apology now?
The two embraced quietly for a moment before going downstairs together.
Seeing that the two masters had made up in the blink of an eye, Jixiang and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's take a walk around the yard together, so you don't tire yourself out."
After leaving this instruction, Shen Rang strode away.
He was supposed to leave the mansion directly, but halfway there, Shen Rang turned and went to Shen Jun's place.
Shen Jun had been feeling gloomy for several days.
He had only invited Duan Huaichuan to stay at the Marquis's residence to appear closer to him, but who would have thought such a thing would happen? Now he's in deep trouble and is worried about how to distance himself from people.
It was at this moment that Shen Rang arrived.
"Please sit down."
Shen Rang sat down as instructed and asked, "Father, what are your plans regarding Duan Jieyuan's matter?"
His question hit Shen Jun right where it hurts.
Shen Jun sighed and said, "What else can we do? I never imagined that the man surnamed Duan would do something like this!"
"I've heard that Father and His Highness the Crown Prince often speak with Duan Jieyuan. Does Father not know Duan Jieyuan's abilities?"
Shen Rang didn't believe that the Crown Prince and Shen Jun were just going to chat with Duan Huaichuan. After so many attempts, there must have been a lot of open and covert probing. If Duan Huaichuan didn't have some real skills, he would have been exposed in one go, and the Crown Prince wouldn't have come so many times.
Upon hearing Shen Rang's words, Shen Jun suddenly felt doubtful: "He is indeed a talented person, but this accusation of cheating..."
"The matter of cheating is still unresolved. I've only met Duan Jieyuan a few times, but I already know he's not a simple person. I imagine Father feels the same way," Shen Rang said calmly. "Since Father wants to win him over, surely he understands the principle of offering help in times of need?"
