Chapter 55
Jixiang returned to the back room and told Yunxi everything that had happened.
Yunxi was wondering why Jixiang was bringing this up out of the blue when she heard Jixiang lower her voice and say, "Second Miss, do you... have other intentions?"
Upon hearing this, Yunxi felt a pang of anxiety and instinctively wanted to deny it.
However, before she could finish speaking, Jixiang said, "Second Miss, my mother is getting better every day, all thanks to you. Last time I went home, my mother also said that Second Miss is the wise ruler and told me to follow Second Miss well."
Yunxi's eyebrows twitched, and a hint of surprise appeared in her gaze as she looked at Jixiang.
Is Jixiang... surrendering to her?
In her past life, she tried her best to win Jixiang over to her side, but failed and was instead severely humiliated. Unexpectedly, in this new life, she managed to win her over with just a little money.
The saying "money makes the world go round" is indeed a truth.
Although she still harbored resentment towards Jixiang because of what happened in her past life, it wouldn't be a bad thing to let Jixiang know her feelings in the current situation.
With Jixiang around, things will be much easier for her in the future.
So Yunxi curled her lips and said sincerely, "Since you have already noticed, then I have nothing to hide from you anymore, Jixiang. If I can get rid of my current identity, I will definitely get your contract."
Jixiang was overwhelmed with excitement: "Yes, this servant will do anything for the Second Miss!"
In the past few days, she found out from Jingyuan that the Shuiyanglou that Yunxi went to was only accessible to Shen Rang, and that Shen Rang brought Yunxi snacks every day, which showed that Yunxi had a place in Shen Rang's heart.
Besides, Yunxi said she would help her get her contract back! That means she'll be Yunxi's head maid from now on!
“There’s no need to make it sound so scary,” Yunxi said. “It’s about time, let’s go.”
"yes."
The two were now in the same boat. Without Yunxi saying anything, Jixiang stopped in the garden and refused to go any further: "Second Miss, I will stay here and watch over you. You may go."
Yunxi nodded and turned to go to the Water Pavilion.
Shen Rang returned home later than usual today.
When he returned, he saw Yunxi lying on his usual writing desk, seemingly fast asleep.
Shen Rang moved quietly, walked to the table, and bent down.
This was the first time he had ever truly seen Yunxi's sleeping face.
Her brows were relaxed, her long, thick eyelashes cast a shadow on her small face, and she was breathing lightly, sleeping soundly.
Just as Shen Rang was staring at her in a daze, Yun Xi suddenly opened her eyes without warning, and her gaze met his.
Logically speaking, people would inevitably feel awkward at this moment.
But Shen Rang was no ordinary person. He coughed softly and then came to his senses: "There are beds upstairs. You can sleep on a bed next time you're sleepy."
Yunxi rubbed her eyes and sat up: "...Yes."
Shen Rang suspected that she hadn't heard what he said at all.
He opened the food box and took out a plate of spring water.
This pastry is crystal clear and exudes a strong rose fragrance as soon as it is taken out. The aroma is intoxicating, and the taste is sweet and smooth. It seems to contain bird's nest.
As they ate, Yunxi couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness, there are so many delicious things to eat in Luoyang City!"
Shen Rang smiled slightly: "These are just summer treats. In a couple of days, when the autumn snacks arrive, there will be other varieties as well."
"There's more?" Yunxi's eyes widened.
She truly had no idea that a single dessert could be prepared in so many different ways.
Shen Rang nodded slightly, looking at the undisguised anticipation on Yun Xi's face, his smile deepening: "Don't worry, I will bring them back to you one by one."
"Um!"
