Chapter 456
Ji Baiju.
Yunxi heard that an imperial decree had arrived at the front, but due to her status, she could not go to the front and could only wait in the courtyard.
After waiting and waiting, Shen Rang did not return. Just as Yunxi was becoming increasingly uneasy, Jing Yuan returned.
He looked no different from usual, except that his eyes were a little redder than usual: "Auntie, the young master has something to attend to and plans to stay in the front courtyard tonight. He asked me to tell you not to worry and to close the door and rest early."
After saying that, Jing Yuan turned and left.
Yunxi and Jixiang didn't notice anything, but Le'an stared at Jingyuan's back for a long time.
Jixiang called out to Le'an a few times: "It's getting late, close the door."
Le'an responded and went to close the door.
Yunxi returned to her bedroom and sat down at her dressing table, but her heart was still unsettled: "Jixiang, I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen."
“How could that be?” Jixiang said. “The young master is such a capable person, how could anything happen to him? Please don’t think too much, you’re pregnant.”
Yunxi sighed: "I hope I'm just overthinking it."
“Absolutely,” Jixiang said confidently. “You don’t know, but when Doctor Wei came to take your pulse last time, he specifically told me that pregnant women are most prone to overthinking, and that I must do my best to comfort you.”
Hearing Jixiang's words, Yunxi's brows relaxed slightly.
So, it's because she's pregnant?
She felt a little relieved and lay down on the bed.
Ji Xiang quietly slipped out.
Yunxi didn't sleep well that night and woke up feeling terrible. She simply had Jixiang do her hair in a simple way and didn't make any preparations to go out. She sat down on the second-floor terrace.

Liuyun Garden.
Yun Wan was writing, her posture relaxed and composed, showing no sign of restlessness.
Just then, Aunt Chen arrived.
Seeing that Yun Wan still had the mind to practice calligraphy, Aunt Chen quickly stepped forward and said, "Young Madam, why are you still sitting in Liuyun Garden?"
Yun Wan lifted her eyelids and glanced at her: "Where else could I be if I'm not at Liuyun Garden? Didn't you say before that we should wait for the right opportunity?"
Even Aunt Chen was impressed by her.
She used to tell Yun Wan to wait for the right opportunity because Yun Xi was too smart, and minor incidents could not damage Yun Xi's foundation. But how could this incident be minor?
The emperor has already issued an imperial edict!
Last night, Yun Wan didn't make any moves, and Aunt Chen thought she was making some arrangements. But almost the whole morning had passed, and Yun Wan still hadn't made any moves, so she came over herself. Unexpectedly, Yun Wan hadn't made any arrangements at all and was even in the mood to practice calligraphy!
After listening to Aunt Chen's meticulous analysis, Yun Wan put down her brush, her eyes brightening slightly: "So you mean, it's okay to move now?"
“Exactly!” Aunt Chen nodded. “Young Madam probably doesn’t know yet, but the Marquis left my place early this morning and confined the Heir Apparent to the Buweizhai! If Young Madam wants to make a move, today is the perfect opportunity!”
"Moreover, my men reported that the Madam got up very early and was sitting in Rongxi Hall, most likely waiting for you!"
"What are you waiting for me for?"
Yun Wan blurted out these words without thinking, but quickly realized her mistake: "Does my mother-in-law want me to be the villain in front of Yun Xi and force Yun Xi to leave?"
“In my opinion, that’s the case,” said Aunt Chen. “The matter of elevating you to the status of a secondary wife was originally Madam’s idea. Madam naturally couldn’t say anything, lest she be accused of kicking someone when they’re down. But it’s different for you, Young Madam. It’s most appropriate for you to do this.”
Yun Wan's eyes lit up.
