Chapter 49
Meanwhile, Yun Wan returned to Liuyun Garden and was questioning the servants about the situation at home over the past two days.
"Everything at home is the same as before, there's nothing unusual."
Yun Wan hasn't been married into the family for long. Her temporary departure has no impact on the household.
"I'll leave everything else aside, but what about Yunxi?"
“She hasn’t left the backyard much these past few days…” The servant who answered frowned, looking like she was racking her brains to recall. “However, the young master has been going to the backyard more often these past two days, and he always has Jingyuan guarding outside, not letting us servants get close.”
"When I went to ask, Jingyuan said that the young master was admiring flowers in the backyard."
"Enjoying flowers?" Yun Wan frowned and turned to look out the window.
She had never been to the backyard, but all the more valuable flowers and plants in the yard were kept in the front yard. What could possibly be in the backyard?
"Also, yesterday Jingyuan bought a lot of things that women like and sent them to that woman."
Yun Wan immediately forgot about whether it was a waste of money or not: "Jing Yuan has feelings for her?"
The maid shook her head: "This servant does not know."
"Alright," Yun Wan raised her hand, "Go down."
"yes."
After the maid left, Yun Wan frowned and asked, "Pearl, do you think Jing Yuan might have developed feelings for Yun Xi?"
Pearl pondered for a moment and said, "I think that if this is true, it would be a good thing."
"How so?"
"Young Madam, think about it. Jingyuan is the young master's personal servant. If we can use the second young lady to get Jingyuan to work for us, then we will have gotten a great deal."
"Besides, if the Second Miss really gets together with Jingyuan, will she ever be able to hold her head high in front of you again?"
In the end, Jingyuan was just a servant.
Yun Wan's eyes lit up: "How about this, you go and test the waters later. If Jing Yuan really has feelings for her, we can play matchmaker and do him a favor."
Pearl smiled and said, "Then the Second Miss will be extremely grateful to you."
Yun Wan smiled too.
We should be extremely grateful to her!
Although Jingyuan was just a servant, he was still a servant of the Marquis's heir. Such a status was a great honor for Yunxi, who came from a humble background.
Just then, Shen Rang returned.
"Why did you return so early, Madam?" Shen Rang asked in a somber tone, seemingly not very happy.
“It’s because I miss my husband,” Yun Wan said with a smile. “Sincerity is enough when it comes to worshiping Buddha. Rather than staying there, I would rather come back and be with my husband.”
Her affectionate words did not cause any change in Shen Rang's expression.
The window was open, and a voice rang out from the backyard: "Miss Chenxi, look, these translucent rice cakes, have a taste!"
Yun Wan recognized the voice as Jing Yuan's and instinctively turned her head to look.
However, the green plants planted in front of the window completely blocked her view.
However, she was still able to be certain.
Now, there's no need to even test the waters.
If Jingyuan had no feelings for Yunxi, why would he have gone out of his way to buy her the glutinous rice cakes? He just knows how to make a girl happy.
Morning light girl, morning light, Chen Xi...
She's sentimental; she can't even bear to part with a humble name.
Yun Wan's eyes darted around: "Husband, Jing Yuan has fallen for Chen Xi, hasn't he? I think they're about the same age, so... how about we try to match them up?"
This should have been a joyous occasion, but Shen Rang's face darkened unexpectedly: "No need for Madam to worry. The journey has been bumpy, so Madam should take a bath and rest early."
After saying that, Shen Rang got up and left.
Yun Wan watched his retreating figure and asked in confusion, "Why did the young master react so strongly?"
"Perhaps... the Crown Prince doesn't want us to worry about Jingyuan's affairs?" Pearl guessed.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan sighed: "That's true. After all, Jing Yuan has been by the young master's side since he was a child, so the young master naturally wants to make the decisions himself. It seems that this matter still needs to be considered carefully."
“What the young mistress says is true.”
Now that Yun Wan is back, she certainly won't let Yun Xi be idle.
