Chapter 378
Ji Baiju.
After taking a bath, Yunxi, wearing only an undergarment, leaned against the chaise lounge reading a storybook, while Jixiang and Le'an sat beside her, sharing cheese that had just been delivered from the small kitchen.
"Auntie, have you forgotten something?"
"What?"
Jixiang glanced at Le'an subconsciously.
She is genuinely willing to serve Yunxi now, but Le'an may not be.
What she was about to say was very important. If Le'an overheard it and it reached Shen Rang's ears, that would be terrible.
Meeting Jixiang's gaze, Le'an quickly said, "I haven't talked to Jingyuan about Auntie for a long time!"
At first, she couldn't control her mouth and would often tell Jingyuan about Yunxi's situation. However, ever since Yunxi gave Jixiang the idea to send Jixiang's mother away, Le'an has never said anything to Jingyuan again.
It was only after that incident that she realized that the master she was following, while seemingly easygoing, actually didn't consider anyone a confidant.
Even Jixiang, who had always been with her, was only given an important position after that incident.
Le'an was just unable to control her mouth; she wasn't stupid. She knew that her indenture had already been handed over to Yunxi, and if she continued to betray her own people, she would definitely not have a good end. Naturally, she immediately abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, keeping her mouth tightly shut.
Hearing Le'an's words, both master and servant couldn't help but glance at her again.
Jixiang looked at Yunxi again.
Yunxi pondered for a moment, met Le'an's sincere gaze, and said, "Alright, Le'an has been by my side for so long, we all know what kind of person she is. Since she said so, I believe her."
Le'an finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Jixiang nodded, then continued, "Didn't Doctor Tian tell you to stop taking supplements? Why don't you take this opportunity to stop?"
Now, it's clear that Doctor Tian is not going to make it, but Yunxi's crisis is not completely over yet!
But Yunxi remained calm: "If I can defeat the enemy in one move, why bother putting in more effort?"
She hadn't forgotten about the supplements, but she planned to save them for later.
Hearing Yunxi's words, Jixiang's eyes lit up: "Auntie, you're thinking of taking this opportunity to..."
Yunxi's lips curled slightly; "Those who reap what they sow will not live."
“Auntie is right,” Jixiang said with a smile.
Seeing the master and servant talking in riddles, Le'an was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks.
Just then, a clear bell rang out from downstairs.
Someone is coming.
Soon, Shen Rang came up the stairs.
Jixiang and Le'an quickly got up to take their leave.
Yunxi put down the storybook in her hand and opened her arms to Shen Rang.
Shen Rang remained expressionless, but his steps quickened, and he reached Yun Xi in a few steps, letting her hug him.
"Zirong, why are you back so soon?"
"Thinking you wouldn't last much longer, I came back first," Shen Rang raised his hand, his large palm brushing against Yun Xi's slightly cool long hair. "Why do you sound like you're not too happy about my return?"
Yunxi bit her lip: "If I say that I really don't want Zirong to come back so early, will Zirong blame me?"
Shen Rang was slightly taken aback.
He sat down beside her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"That Doctor Tian, he actually tried to poison my child! I wish he would suffer more!" As she spoke, tears welled up in Yunxi's eyes. "I know my thoughts are too malicious, but the thought of someone trying to harm my child makes me lose control..."
Shen Rang pulled the person into his arms, his eyes full of laughter: "That person attacked you, so naturally I won't let him get away with it. Did you think that just because I'm back, that person will have peace and quiet?"
