Chapter 522
Seeing that Yunxi remained silent and that Jixiang Le'an's expression was somewhat strange, Madam Chen pulled Yunxi into her room.
"What are your thoughts on Huai Chuan?" Madam Chen asked. "Huai Chuan has always treated you differently from others. You were young before, so we didn't say anything, but now that you're of marriageable age, you should start thinking about this."
Yunxi's mind was in complete turmoil.
How could she and Duan Huaichuan possibly be together?
She's a mother now, how could she possibly be a match for Duan Huaichuan?
Seeing Yunxi's complicated expression, Madam Chen patted her hand and said, "I know you went to Luoyang, but now that you're out of Luoyang, you should treat everything that happened before as a dream. Huaichuan is a good boy, think about it carefully."
Yunxi nodded haphazardly and left Madam Chen's room.
Upon entering the courtyard, they saw Jixiang Le'an pretending to pack his things.
The two of them are usually quick and efficient at their work, but now they've taken forever to tidy up a few things that were already neatly arranged, which shows they were waiting for her.
Sure enough, as soon as Yunxi came out, the two of them quickened their pace and sorted everything out in no time.
Le'an delivered some things to Madam Chen, and Jixiang then took the things and went back with Yunxi.
"Miss, just now you and Madam..."
Seeing that Yunxi remained silent, Jixiang pursed her lips and said, "Miss, I think the young master will come to see you again. If you get too close to Young Master Duan, I'm afraid that, given the young master's personality, he might..."
Shen Rang's temperament was actually not gentle.
Yunxi understood this as well.
She sighed deeply.
——
On the other side.
Le'an put down his things and was about to leave when Madam Chen called him back.
"Madam, what are your orders?"
Madam Chen took two steps forward and closed the door.
Upon seeing this, Le'an's heart skipped a beat.
Madam Chen looked Le'an up and down and said, "Are you the maid assigned to Xi'er by the Yun family?"
Le An subconsciously shook her head, then nodded: "...Yes."
Madam Chen frowned deeply: "Is it true or not? You maids were bought by your master, don't you even know who your master is?"
Le'an felt an inexplicable sense of oppression from Madam Chen at that moment.
She knelt down with a thud: "Madam, please forgive me, this servant, this servant..."
Before Le'an could come up with a perfect explanation, Madam Chen continued, "If you're not from the Yun family, then which family are you from?"
"This servant is..."
"If you keep trying to hide it, I'll throw you out right now! Even though that girl has grown up, she still calls me 'Mother,' so I have no reason not to punish even a maid!"
Now, Le'an dared not hide anything any longer: "This servant is from the Marquis's residence..."
Which marquis's residence?
"...The Marquis of Xuanping's residence."
Madam Chen frowned deeply: "Wasn't Xi'er taken back by the Yun family? How did she get involved with the Marquis's mansion?"
"this......"
The oppressive aura emanating from Madam Chen was almost unbearable for Le'an.
Just as she was about to spill everything, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door.
