Chapter 393
He felt sorry for her, and she naturally felt sorry for him too.
Hearing Yunxi say this, Shen Rang suddenly felt a little uneasy.
Yunxi is like this now, but he...
Seeing that Shen Rang remained silent and made no move, Yun Xi turned her head to look at him: "What's wrong?"
Shen Rang forced himself to calm down and said, "I'm busy with matters at the Ministry of Personnel. I haven't had any free time lately."
Yunxi couldn't help but laugh: "What's the big deal? Jixiang and Le'an can take good care of me. Zirong just needs to do what she's supposed to do."
Shen Rang held her hand, still remaining silent.
It's one thing for Jixiang and Le'an to take care of Yunxi, but it's quite another for him to personally stay by Yunxi's side. How could Yunxi not understand this? She was just saying this to avoid making him overthink things.
Shen Rang also wanted to stay by Yunxi's side no matter what, and wait for her to get better.
However, the Ministry of Personnel recently completed its assessment of all officials, and a large number of officials' performance records are awaiting evaluation, which will then lead to adjustments in their positions. It's really...
Moreover, he needs to rise to a higher position as soon as possible and take charge on his own, otherwise he might not even be qualified to stand beside Yunxi in the future.
At that moment, Yunxi gently squeezed his hand.
He subconsciously met Yunxi's eyes.
Yunxi smiled and said, "I'm really fine now, Zirong. If you really care about me, then wait until I've recovered and have someone accompany me for a walk in the streets."
Although the Marquis's mansion is stronger than the Yun family's, it is no longer a peaceful place.
Shen Rang pursed his lips.
Yunxi was pregnant, and to be on the safe side, she should actually stay at the Marquis's residence.
However, after this incident, Shen Rang felt that the Marquis's residence was not safe either. Since that was the case, it was most important to let her be happy.
So Shen Rang nodded: "Okay, once you've recovered, you can go out anytime you want, but you must take Jing Er with you. I will instruct him to arrange more guards to accompany you."
Yunxi chuckled: "I'm just a concubine, why would I need such a big fuss to go out?"
“It’s too much of a burden for you to be a concubine,” Shen Rang sighed. “Alright, I’ll go tidy up. You should lie down and rest.”
"Um."
Shen Rang quickly finished washing up and returned.
He had thought that Yunxi wasn't feeling well and wouldn't hold her today, but unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down, Yunxi snuggled up to him.
Even though it was pitch black upstairs, the two of them were so close that they could still see each other's eyes clearly.
Yunxi thought he didn't want to be too close to her, and said aggrievedly, "You're spending less and less time at home now, can't we at least be a little closer to each other in the evening?"
"I'm afraid of hurting you."
"Then you can just lie still and let me come closer."
After saying that, Yunxi rested her head on his shoulder and stopped moving.
Helpless, Shen Rang could only turn over and, as usual, hold her as he fell into a deep sleep.
——
When I woke up, Shen Rang was already gone.
After a good day's rest, Yunxi felt much better.
She got up and called Jixiang over.
"Auntie, are you going out again today?"
Yunxi shook her head: "Even if you don't go out, you still have to dress up. It's fine in front of you, but if those people outside see you, it'll look terrible."
Jixiang thought it made sense, so she began to do Yunxi's makeup.
The scene was set up by the window, and Jixiang stood there. As soon as she looked up, she saw a maid walk into the courtyard.
The maid was clearly visiting for the first time and was unfamiliar with the courtyard, peeking around curiously.
Jixiang paused what she was doing, went outside and recognized the person. She turned back and whispered a few words to Yunxi before turning around and going downstairs.
