Chapter 410
Several days later, Ji Baiju finally managed to return to its usual quiet state.
When things calmed down, Jixiang suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, Auntie, that Miss Yao the Third came yesterday."
Although Yunxi wasn't so busy that she didn't have time to catch her breath, she was pregnant, and it wouldn't be good to let her hear unpleasant things after she finished her work, so Jixiang kept quiet.
What is she doing here?
"Looking at the splendor of Jibai Residence, I figured I'd just try to get on their good side."
Did you try to get close to them or come empty-handed?
Yunxi nodded and said nothing more.
Le'an turned her head and glanced at the threshold: "If those lively days continued for a few more days, the threshold of our courtyard would be worn flat by the footsteps!"
Yunxi chuckled.
Jixiang smiled and said, "Auntie, there's one more thing. Madam Yun's birthday is coming soon."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi's smile faded: "When?"
"Five days later."
Yunxi nodded slightly: "You should prepare a gift."
"yes."
——
Five days later, on Madam Yun's birthday, Yun Wan was temporarily released from confinement.
However, having lost her confidante and been imprisoned in Liuyun Garden for so long, Yunwan's face was still haggard despite her exquisite makeup.
Yunxi is the opposite extreme of her.
Power nurtures people; Yunxi already had a good complexion, and now she possesses an air of nobility she never had before.
The two sisters met briefly at the entrance of the Marquis's residence. Their eyes met, and after a moment they looked away, each boarded their own carriage, and headed towards the Yun family.
Madam Yun holds a grand birthday banquet every year. This year, on the fifth day of the lunar calendar, she has invited prominent families from Luoyang to attend. The entrance has been prepared in advance to avoid neglecting the distinguished guests.
Yun Wan and Yun Xi are daughters of the Yun family, so naturally they had to come back early this morning to help.
They called it helping, but it was really just sitting together and chatting.
Yunxi didn't want to be polite with Madam Yun, so she left the gift and turned to leave, heading to the courtyard where she had rested last time.
"Madam said that this courtyard will be yours from now on," the maid in the courtyard said with a smile. "When you go home in the future, just come here!"
Yunxi's expression remained impassive, but a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
Before she went to the Marquis's mansion, when she needed a courtyard to live in, the Yun family gave her such a dilapidated courtyard. Now that she doesn't need it anymore, the Yun family has cleaned up a decent courtyard. It's ridiculous.
"Thank you for your trouble, Madam. The young lady is pregnant and must be tired from the journey. You may leave now."
Jixiang dismissed all the servants in the courtyard before helping Yunxi into the house: "Miss, since Madam has arranged a courtyard for you, you can rest for a while. I will go outside to keep watch and make sure no one can disturb you."
Le'an nodded: "I've already told Jing Er that when the young master arrives, I'll bring him over directly. Don't worry, Miss."
With the two of them there, Yunxi had nothing to worry about and could rest peacefully.
——
Yun Wan and Madam Yun sat together, wiping away tears. "Mother, you have no idea what kind of life I'm living in the Marquis's mansion! Now that Emerald is dead and I've lost my power to manage the household, I really don't know what to do next!"
Seeing her like this, Madam Yun was filled with helplessness: "You child! If you need money, just come back and tell your mother! Why do you have to learn to lend money at interest?"
"My daughter was just blinded by love; who knew my mother-in-law would react so strongly!"
