Chapter 40
Men are naturally gifted in such matters, and in no time at all, Yunxi could only let him mold her however he wanted, without the slightest bit of temper.
Shen Rang was in particularly high spirits tonight.
Just when Yunxi thought it was almost dawn, Shen Rang finally let her go.
Although this man was fierce and ruthless in bed, he was gentle when cleaning her up afterwards, and Yunxi almost fell asleep in his arms.
The thought of having to stay awake and wait for Chen Rang to fall asleep before going out made Yunxi sigh.
I don't know if I can hold on until then.
Then she heard Shen Rang say, "I'm going outside for a walk. Madam, please go to sleep first."
Yunxi's eyes widened immediately.
This guy has already tormented her to this extent, and she still hasn't vented her anger, and she still wants to go for a walk?!
Are you even human?!
However, Shen Yunxi was relieved that she didn't have to wait for him to fall asleep before leaving.
After leaving the side room, Yun Wan personally watched her drink the medicine before she could finally rest.
The next day, Yunxi slept until the sun was high in the sky before getting up.
Jixiang brought her breakfast.
"Miss, Jade Girl spied on the young master's whereabouts yesterday and was severely beaten!"
"Miss Emerald was in charge of the accounts, but now she's lying in bed and can't do anything. The young mistress has to take charge of the accounts herself. I secretly went over to take a look, and the young mistress is extremely busy!"
Yunxi nodded lazily and stopped paying attention, instead calculating the time in her mind.
The things sent to Xikou Village should have arrived by now, right?
As she predicted, Chen Zongwen, who was a thousand miles away from Luoyang, happily carried a box back to the private school in Xikou Village.
The private school was converted from a two-courtyard house. Upon entering, there was an open space planted with flowers and plants, and some cats and dogs were sunbathing on their backs. The main hall had been converted into a classroom, furnished with a few clean tables and chairs, and behind it was where the Chen family lived.
Chen Zongwen, in his forties or fifties, with bright eyes and a robust build, didn't look like a scholar at all: "Huaichuan, forget about those flowers. Xi'er has sent some good stuff from Luoyang again. Come and take a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man who had been squatting down loosening the soil for the flowers stood up.
The man was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He wore a clean coarse cloth shirt and exuded an undeniable scholarly air. He was refined and easygoing, yet not weak.
As he approached, Chen Zongwen had almost finished dismantling the items: "That girl is really something, she picks up everything she sees and brings it home. Those flowers were half dead when she brought them back, but you were so kind that you managed to keep them alive."
“These wildflowers are incredibly resilient; they don’t take much effort to keep alive,” Duan Huaichuan said gently, his voice warm and gentle, like a spring breeze in March.
Chen Zongwen gave him a meaningful look.
I don't know who it was back then, but they traveled all over the village to learn how to grow flowers, and then took good care of them for several days before they were saved.
Chen Zongwen continued sorting the items in the box, sighing inwardly.
If it weren't for that incident, these two children should...
Enough is enough. Since what has happened has already occurred, saying anything more is superfluous.
Yunxi brought back some food that could be stored for a long time, as well as several bolts of soft and smooth silk cloth, which looked expensive.
Judging from the east and west, Yunxi should be living a good life in Luoyang.
Everything on top was taken out, revealing the books piled up underneath.
"Oh?" Chen Zongwen's eyebrows twitched. "This little girl has this kind of mindset."
The books sent from Luoyang are very valuable.
In addition, there were two brand-new sets of writing implements, each with a seal on it. One set was labeled "Father," and the other "Brother Huaichuan."
It's familiar handwriting.
Duan Huaichuan took the things out, his eyes softening.
"The autumn examination is just around the corner, and you'll come in handy right now," Chen Zongwen teased.
"Um......"
Duan Huaichuan gently stroked it with his hand, as if he were treating a rare and precious treasure.
He's sure he'll pass the imperial examination this autumn, and then he can go to Luoyang and see his little sister Xi'er again...
Thinking of this, Duan Huaichuan lost all interest: "Sir, I'll go back to my studies now."
Chen Zongwen knew exactly what he was thinking. He waved his hand and sent the man away. He then took out all the books and, without bothering to pack up anything else, sat down at the table and started reading.
