Chapter 451
Duan Huaichuan's pupils contracted slightly, but his expression remained unchanged: "Why do you say that?"
Yunxi sighed.
"I originally thought that as long as Zirong and I were of the same mind, that would be fine, but... I think I oversimplified things."
"Madam said she was going to make me her second wife. If I had this child, it would confirm that Zi Rong favored his concubine over his wife. I heard that this would have a great impact on Zi Rong."
“The path was chosen by Prince Shen himself,” Duan Huaichuan said, his voice tinged with coldness. “If he can’t protect you and instead makes you live in fear every day, then he hasn’t done a good enough job.”
If it weren't for Shen Rang, where would Yunxi have gotten pregnant?
Shen Rang was the one who did the dirty work, and now Yun Xi is being made to bear the consequences. What kind of logic is this?
Yunxi sighed: "I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I... don't want to hold him back."
"He's the one who held you back." Duan Huaichuan looked at Yunxi now, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
The fire wasn't directed at Yunxi, but at Shen Rang.
His little sister Xi'er used to be such an optimistic and pure person, but now that she has only been in the Marquis's mansion for a short time, she has even begun to doubt herself!
She's so wonderful!
Yunxi couldn't help but laugh: "Brother Huaichuan, only you and Zirong think this way."
She now understands clearly that in Luoyang City, no one cares how good she is as a person; they only care about her background and social status.
Duan Huaichuan twitched the corner of his mouth.
That's not a bad thing to say, but it would be even better if the name of that Prince Shen were removed.
After venting her feelings, Yunxi felt much better: "I'm leaving now, it's going to get hot soon."
Duan Huaichuan nodded, watching as Jixiang and Le'an carefully helped her up, and then saw the master and servants out of the guest house.
As Duan Huaichuan watched Yunxi's figure disappear into the distance, a dark glint flashed in his eyes.
His sister Xi'er is not someone who can endure being wronged or even humiliated.
Yunxi has changed a lot, but her ingrained nature will never change.

A few days later, Chen Zongwen and his wife suddenly wrote to Duan Huaichuan, saying that they had arrived in Luoyang and found an inn to stay in, and asked him to come out for a meal when he was free.
Chen Zongwen's handwriting has a sharp edge.
Duan Huaichuan looked at it, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
It seems that Chen Zongwen already knows that he is currently in the Marquis's residence. This time, summoning him out will probably not end well for him.
However, he dared not disobey Chen Zongwen's summons.
So Duan Huaichuan immediately changed his clothes and went to the inn where Chen Zongwen and his wife were staying.
And what awaited him, unsurprisingly, was a roar—
"What did I tell you before you came to Luoyang?! I told you not to try to climb the social ladder, why can't you remember?! Those wealthy and powerful families may seem glamorous, but if anything happens, you'll be the first one they throw you out! Don't you know that?!"
After Chen Zongwen finished yelling, Madam Chen stepped forward and stopped him: "Can't you talk to Huaichuan properly? Don't you know what kind of person Huaichuan is? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Duan Huaichuan said helplessly, "Teacher, teacher's wife, I can explain this."
Chen Zongwen sat down with a cold face: "Explain yourself!"
Chen Zongwen was a proper scholar, but he was tall and strong, not a weak scholar. At first glance, he looked no different from a martial artist, and when he got angry, he was quite frightening.
However, it only looks scary.
Madam Chen immediately smacked him: "Don't you know what priorities are? Huai Chuan has already entered the Marquis's mansion. It's too late to say anything now!"
After speaking, Madam Chen looked at Duan Huaichuan with a smile: "Huaichuan, how is Xi'er?"
