Chapter 407
Shen Rang was worried about Yunxi's pregnancy and dared not go too far. After one time, he carried Yunxi to the bath room, washed her carefully, and then carried her back.
Yunxi lay on the bed like she had no bones, too lazy to even move a finger.
Seeing her like this, Shen Rang felt like teasing her again: "Your body, how come you can't handle it after just a few days of neglect?"
Yunxi turned her head to the side and ignored him.
Shen Rang wasn't annoyed. He lay down beside her, embraced her, and drifted off to sleep.
——
While the two slept tenderly, their necks intertwined, in the Liuyun Garden, it was no exaggeration to say that everything was bleak.
Emerald was Yun Wan's confidante; otherwise, Yun Wan wouldn't have entrusted her with the entire management of the accounts. However, in order to protect her, Emerald died.
She suffered heavy losses.
Since she returned to Liuyun Garden, Yunwan's eyes have lost their sparkle. She looks dazed and listless every day, as if all her energy has been drained away.
Even when she heard that Yunxi was managing the household smoothly, she didn't even flinch.
She had actually had a premonition all along.
She's fallen, but Yunxi will definitely get up.
I never expected this day to come so soon.
Moreover, it is said that Shen Rang personally went to Zheng Shi to fight for her to take over the management of the household.
Thinking of this, Yun Wan felt another chill in her heart.
"...Pearl, what kind of life am I living?"
Yun Wan leaned against the bed, staring blankly at something: "My mother is unkind, my husband doesn't love me, and now I'm being trampled underfoot by a concubine..."
Pearl naturally felt sorry for her: "Young Madam, if you really can't bear it, why don't I go and talk to the young master and tell him that you agree to a divorce?"
Anyway, Shen Rang said long ago that Yun Wan could leave whenever she wanted.
However, Yun Wan only scoffed: "Divorce? You expect me to just slink away like this, handing over the position of the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion to that slut? Why should I?"
Pearl sighed, "Young Madam, you are still young and... innocent. The Yiyun family loves you dearly and will definitely help you find a new husband. Although their social standing may be slightly lower than that of the Marquis's family, it certainly won't be much worse!"
It was unclear which word in Pearl's words had offended Yun Wan, but Yun Wan sat bolt upright: "That bitch comes from the countryside; there's no place for her in Luoyang City! Now she wants me to leave, and I'm expected to grovel before her in the future?!"
Pearl lowered her head, not daring to offer any more advice.
She really couldn't understand why Yun Wan, knowing she was not doing well, was still unwilling to leave, even though Shen Rang didn't necessarily want to drag Yun Wan along.
She let out a long sigh.
Oh well, she'll just follow Yun Wan's lead and won't have to worry about the rest.
"Young Madam, it's late, you should get some rest."
Yun Wan leaned back, but still wasn't sleepy: "Now that that bitch has the power to manage the household, tell me... how glamorous will she be? After these few months of confinement, will I still have a place in this Marquis's mansion?"
“No matter how glamorous you are, it’s only superficial. You are still the young mistress of the Marquis’s mansion,” Pearl said, emphasizing each word.
Hearing Pearl's words, Yun Wan's eyes lit up again.
Yes.
Yunxi's glory is only temporary. Once her confinement is lifted, she can simply go to the old woman's house to copy a couple more scriptures. If that doesn't work, she can ask the Yun family to step in and get the power to manage the household back into her hands!
Seeing that Yun Wan had regained her fighting spirit, Pearl breathed a sigh of relief and helped Yun Wan rest.
