Chapter 416
Hearing Madam Yun's words, not only Yun Xi, but even Ji Xiang and Le An couldn't help but curl their lips.
This Madam Yun, if you say she is kind and righteous, then why does she not care about her own daughter? If you say she is heartless and ungrateful, then why is she so good to Yun Wan?
That's really strange.
Yunxi looked somewhat troubled: "The young master specifically asked the doctor, and the doctor said that it's not impossible to carry out the procedure once the pregnancy is stable. Besides, the young master might not even listen to what I say."
"That's true, but you're pregnant, which makes things inconvenient!" Madam Yun said, feigning concern for her. "Besides, how do you know the young master won't listen to you if you haven't even tried?"
"You silly child, if you truly knew how to be grateful, you should find a way to get the young master to stay overnight at your sister's more often! After all—"
Before Madam Yun could finish speaking, a tall figure strode in: "My family's affairs are none of Madam Yun's concern."
The newcomer was tall and upright, dressed in a pine-green brocade robe, with a bamboo-leaf-sprinkled gold pouch hanging from his waist.
Upon seeing this person approach, both Madam Yun and Yun Xi stood up.
Shen Rang walked a few steps to Yun Xi's side, pulled her into his arms, and looked at Madam Yun: "I didn't expect that Madam was not satisfied with managing the entire Yun family, but also wanted to extend her reach to our Marquis's mansion?"
He heard the entire conversation.
Being publicly refuted by a junior, Madam Yun naturally lost face.
So what if the person in front of me is the heir apparent?
No matter what, she's still his mother-in-law!
Madam Yun's expression turned cold: "Young master, you've misunderstood. Now that both of my daughters have entered your family, they are the apple of my eye, and naturally I want them to live well."
“My mother-in-law is kind,” Shen Rang said calmly, “but I only have Xi’er in my heart. It would be better if my mother-in-law spoke directly to me in the future. Xi’er is pregnant now, so it’s inconvenient for me to worry about her.”
Madam Yun gritted her teeth; "Since you know that Xi'er is not in a position to worry about things, why did the son-in-law still give Xi'er the power to manage the household?"
When you give Yunxi power, you don't say you're worried about her anymore!
"As for why the management of the household was given to Xi'er, doesn't Mother-in-law know the inside story?" Shen Rang's eyes were sharp. "If the young mistress were as fair and kind as Mother-in-law, I'm afraid there would be no need to trouble Xi'er."
With just one sentence, Madam Yun was rendered speechless.
After watching the commotion for a while, Yunxi gently tugged at Chen Rang's sleeve and shook her head at him.
Shen Rang took a breath and cupped his hands to Madam Yun, saying, "I misspoke just now, please don't take it to heart, Mother-in-law. Xi'er is pregnant, so it's not appropriate for us to stay here any longer. Farewell."
After saying that, Shen Rang took Yun Xi's arm and left.
Madam Yun watched the two loving figures leave and couldn't help but grind her teeth.
Originally, the idea was that making Yunxi a concubine would allow the Yun family's daughter to gain a foothold in the Marquis's mansion. Unexpectedly, while Yunxi did gain a foothold, she squeezed Yunwan out of her place!
Yunxi now has both Shen Rang's heart and control over the household affairs. And look at Yun Wan...
Fortunately, there was Yun Ruiyang.
The two children have been close since they were little, and only Yun Ruiyang can coax Yun Wan. Sure enough, the two children only met once, and Yun Wan's complexion improved a lot!
Madam Yun had no idea how Yun Ruiyang had managed to win over Yun Wan.
——
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed since the spring imperial examination.
The time has finally come for the announcement of the apricot list.
Yunxi was still worried about Duan Huaichuan's ranking and was thinking about how to find someone to find out, but she didn't need to find out, the news had already come in.
Duan Huaichuan, top scorer in the high school entrance examination!
Yunxi opened her eyes wide and was stunned for a long time.
Duan Huaichuan has won two prizes in a row!
