Chapter 366
Shu Ningshuang remained unusually silent.
Yun Wan naturally noticed her unusual behavior and personally poured her a cup of tea, saying, "What's wrong? Did you not vent your anger properly just now? Or did my second sister say something to make you unhappy?"
Shu Ningshuang took the teacup but didn't drink it. Instead, she put it aside and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
She had just performed a grand ceremony, so naturally she would be tired.
Yun Wan didn't think any further: "By the way, my second sister... you didn't hit her too hard, did you?"
"Do you want me to hit harder or softer?" Shu Ningshuang suddenly raised her eyes and met Yun Wan's gaze.
Yun Wan was slightly taken aback, and after a long while she said, "...What I think is not important, you just need to vent your anger."
Her answer was flawless.
Shu Ningshuang withdrew her gaze, her tone suddenly turning cold: "She's carrying the Marquis's child, and I was tired too, so I scolded her a couple of times."
She lowered her eyes, missing the fleeting regret in Yun Wan's eyes: "That's fine too."
The two sat quietly. They used to be best friends who could talk about anything, but now the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Yun Wan sat for a while before getting up and leaving, telling her to get some rest.
After finally making it to night, and with another lively scene outside, Yun Wan returned to the Marquis's residence with Shen Rang.
Shu Ningshuang has also readjusted her mindset.
Regardless, she is now married to Yun Ruiyang and is his wife. Tonight is their wedding night, so it's important to take it seriously.
But Yun Ruiyang didn't think so.
He had been entertaining guests all day and was already exhausted. Since the person in the room wasn't his sweetheart, he didn't even bother to give her a kind look. He coldly said, "I'm going to the study," and turned to leave, leaving Shu Ningshuang all alone in the bridal chamber.
Looking at the empty room, recalling Yunxi's words and the lip rouge in Yun Ruiyang's arms, Shu Ningshuang felt it was difficult to breathe.

Outside, Shen Rang and Yun Wan rode in the same carriage.
Shen Rang had drunk quite a bit of wine and was now resting with his eyes closed, propping his forehead up with his hand.
He was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, his brows slightly lowered, like an inviolable deity.
“Husband,” Yun Wan said softly, “my sister is probably already asleep by now. Why don’t you come and rest at my place tonight?”
Yunxi is currently pregnant. If Shen Rang cherishes her, he will not harm her. Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity for her.
They are husband and wife, so Yunwan's request is not unreasonable.
But Shen Rang still refused: "No need, she will wait for me."
Yun Wan's expression turned sour for a moment, but fortunately the car was dimly lit and no one else noticed.
For the rest of the journey, the couple remained silent.
When the carriage stopped, Shen Rang got off first and went straight into the mansion without even glancing at her.
Yun Wan watched his retreating figure and couldn't help but grit her teeth.
Unexpectedly, this usually unapproachable immortal has revealed his true heart and is so devoted.
It's just a pity that this deep affection isn't for himself.
Yun Wan also entered the mansion, her steps unusually heavy.
As she walked, she suddenly saw a figure.
The figure was tall and slender, with slow and steady steps, as if strolling in a garden. Just by looking at the figure from afar, one could tell that it was no ordinary person.
Yun Wan couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Who exactly is this person who can be so at ease in the Marquis's mansion?
Pearl whispered, "Young Madam, that is Scholar Duan."
Yun Wan's eyebrows twitched, and she stopped walking.
When the man approached, Yun Wan exclaimed, "Duan Jieyuan, you are indeed a handsome and talented man!"
