Chapter 478
Half an hour later.
Duan Huaichuan had just been scolded by Chen Zongwen and his wife and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath after returning to his rented house when he saw a figure standing in the courtyard.
The moonlight was desolate, making the figure appear even more lonely.
Hearing the noise, the man turned around, and the sachet with gold-flecked bamboo leaves at his waist swayed slightly with his movement.
Duan Huaichuan didn't seem surprised to see him: "Young Master Shen, you've arrived very quickly."
"The things Jing Er said to me, were you at your behest?" Shen Rang looked at him coldly. "Does Xi'er know that she's been framed like this? If she did, would she forgive you?"
Duan Huaichuan smiled, but a bittersweet feeling welled up inside him.
Although he didn't know exactly what Jing Er said, he could roughly guess what he meant. He thought that an ordinary man would be angry or in pain upon hearing such words, but he never expected that Shen Rang would not believe a single word.
“Young Master Shen, Xi’er has already left. Regardless of whether what Jing Er said is true or false, it is true that she does not want to see you now,” Duan Huaichuan said. “Young Master Shen probably does not know that we have not been away from Luoyang for long. We should have listened to the doctor’s advice and stopped to rest for a while. It was because Xi’er did not want to be too close to Luoyang and did not want to be too close to you that she forced herself to stay put all the way.”
Hearing his words, Shen Rang's eyes finally lit up: "How is she?"
Duan Huaichuan: ......
He looked at Shen Rang quietly.
After a long while, Duan Huaichuan laughed and said, "It's not good. She was forced to leave the Marquis's mansion the day after giving birth. The journey was bumpy, and if it weren't for the doctor who accompanied her, she probably wouldn't have made it there."
Hearing his words, Shen Rang couldn't help but clench his fists tightly.
“Young Master Shen, I have seen your feelings for Xi’er, but if you truly love her, you must not go to her again,” Duan Huaichuan said with a complicated expression. “She needs time to recuperate. Your rash visit will only harm her.”
"I have said all I have to say. You may choose whatever you wish, Prince Shen."
After saying that, Duan Huaichuan walked past him and went into the bedroom.
Chen Rang was left alone in the courtyard again.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the moon high in the sky.
He left after a long while.
Back at the Marquis's residence, Jing Er was pacing anxiously in the front hall.
Upon seeing Chen Rang return, he quickly stepped forward, his eyes conveying a hint of inquiry.
"You don't need to tell me anything about her."
After saying that, Shen Rang went to the backyard.
Duan Huaichuan is right, Yunxi cannot be subjected to any more stimulation now.
But he was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself.
Therefore, he had no choice but to ignore it.
I'll go see her again after some time.
Jing Er took two steps to catch up: "Your Highness, something has happened in the backyard."
Chen Rang paused in his steps.
——
Earlier.
When Shen Rang and Yun Wan left one after the other, the gatekeepers immediately erupted in chaos.
"What does the young master mean? Does it mean that the person who has been sharing a room with you all this time has not been the young mistress, but a concubine?!"
"How is this possible! This is too absurd!"
"I think it's more than that. Didn't you hear what the young master just said? He said neither the concubine nor the young master mentioned it. In my opinion, the concubine probably has some kind of relationship with the Yun family! Not a master-servant relationship, but... that kind of relationship!"
"Are you implying that the Yun family, like the Yunnan Prince's Mansion, also lost a child years ago, and that the concubine is the Yun family's biological daughter?"
