Chapter 45
Yunwan left shortly after noon.
To demonstrate the power and influence of the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion, she took all her personal servants with her when she left, leaving Liuyun Garden almost empty.
When Shen Rang returned from his shift and heard that Yun Wan had gone out and would be staying away for two more days, a subtle joy welled up in his heart.
Shen Rang's feelings for Yun Wan were truly complex.
When he first learned that he was going to have a wife, he felt somewhat resistant, after all, the two had only met a few times, and he only had a vague impression of Yun Wan.
Moreover, Shen Rang doesn't like flamboyant people, so he doesn't have a good impression of Yun Wan.
After they got married, he thought he couldn't let his wife suffer, so he was willing to give her dignity and take on the corresponding responsibilities.
Unexpectedly, Yun Wan was even more unwilling, and instead of telling him directly, she came up with this method that dragged that innocent girl into it.
Shen Rang sighed inwardly and carried the food box to the backyard.
"I'm going to admire the flowers and don't want to be disturbed. You stay here and watch over them."
Chen Rang's steps never stopped.
"yes."
Jing Yuan stood obediently by the side door, but couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
It's a wonder that our own young master could say such a thing.
And you're admiring the flowers? Which delicate flower are you admiring?
It's just a pity for Miss Chenxi. If the young mistress finds out about this, she'll definitely suffer a lot.
Jingyuan sighed deeply.
The wonderful thoughts swirling in his mind remained unknown to others. When Shen Rang arrived, Yun Xi was practicing calligraphy in her room.
Yun Wan wasn't home today, so Yun Xi opened the window. The still-wet ink blended with the golden afterglow, giving off a unique luster.
Suddenly, a tall shadow appeared on the Xuan paper.
Yunxi paused in her writing, subconsciously looked up, and was somewhat surprised to see who it was: "Young Master?"
She was about to get up and bow when Shen Rang raised his hand to stop her, his gaze fixed on the table.
Compared to the calligraphy on the few sheets of Xuan paper kept in his study, her current handwriting has lost its childishness and immaturity, but it is as sharp as ever.
Looking at her handwriting, Shen Rang felt as if he had returned to the small private school in Xikou Village: "Your handwriting is quite good."
Yunxi's expression turned somewhat strange: "Is the young master joking with me?"
The top scholar said her handwriting was good...
Who would believe that?
"That's not true."
As he got closer, Shen Rang smelled a faint odor of ink.
"If you want to do a good job, you must first have the right tools. I'll go and get you some new brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones in a bit."
"Give it to me?" Yunxi was slightly taken aback. "The young master's things are all extremely precious. Wouldn't it be a waste to give them to me?"
“Giving it to you is making the best use of it; leaving it to gather dust in my place is a waste,” Shen Rang said, placing the food box on the windowsill. “Jade Dew Dumplings, have a taste.”
When the food box was opened, a white jade stemmed bowl was placed inside, containing a lifelike, crystal-clear peony flower.
"Is this... food?"
Shen Rang hummed in response, his gaze inadvertently glancing at the wooden rabbit carving on the windowsill.
The wood carving has a smooth, lustrous surface, clearly indicating that it was frequently handled and played with by its owner.
Shen Rang looked away: "The Jade Dew Balls won't last long, so eat them quickly and rest for a while. You can write again when Jing Yuan brings you new brushes and ink."
After saying that, Shen Rang turned around.
However, before he could take a step, he heard the little girl call out to him.
"Your Highness...why are you so good to me?"
“I am acquainted with your father, so naturally I will take care of you.” Shen Rang did not turn around.
"That's all?"
"......Um."
Seemingly afraid that she would ask further questions, Shen Rang turned and left, leaving Yunxi with a puzzled look on her face.
