Chapter 550
Several more days passed in the blink of an eye, and Shen Rang finally arrived in Luoyang.
He had someone carry the luggage inside and settle it properly, and then Shen Rang personally carried the box to Rongxi Hall.
When they arrived, they found that not only was Madam Zheng there, but Shen Jun was also there. The two of them were playing with the child, and from a distance, they really looked like a family.
Shen Rang was momentarily stunned, paused slightly, and then stepped into the house.
Seeing him approach, Shen Jun's smile faded, and his gaze fell on the box in his hand: "What is this?"
Has the child finally grown up and learned to bring them gifts?
"These clothes were made for Nianchu by Xi'er and Madam Chen."
Shen Jun: ......
Seeing his father's complicated expression, Shen Rang was somewhat puzzled.
But Madam Zheng had already laughed, and stood up while holding Shen Nianchu: "Come, see what clothes your mother has made for Nianchu?"
Shen Nianchu couldn't speak yet, she could only open her mouth and make "ah ah woo woo" sounds, and she had two short arms that wanted Shen to carry her.
Shen Rang held him in one arm and placed the box on the table with the other.
The box was opened, and inside were little clothes of various colors.
The materials were all common in the countryside, and the designs were the simplest. Chen Rang looked through them layer by layer, his eyes softening.
Through these things, he seemed to see the gentle expression on Yunxi's face as she made clothes.
Madam Zheng unfolded the top garment and, looking at the delicate stitching, couldn't help but say, "That child has quite skillful hands."
This garment looks simple, but Zheng Shi couldn't possibly make it.
Zheng ran her fingers over it and sighed, "That child likes to drink the milk tea in my yard. I don't know when I'll be able to let her drink it again."
In the past, she was reluctant to let the kitchen hand over the recipe so that Yunxi would come to visit her more often. But now, Zheng was thinking that she should take the initiative to have someone deliver it to Yunxi.
Shen Jun wasn't interested in these kinds of women's topics. He looked at Shen Rang with a harsh gaze: "Why did you come back by yourself? Didn't she come back with you?"
Shen Rang nodded slightly: "Lord Chen means that Xi'er should not be made a concubine."
Hearing him mention Chen Zongwen, Shen Jun could only sigh.
What can he do after people have said that?
However, fate is truly wondrous in this world. Who would have thought that a girl from the countryside, whom no one paid attention to, would actually be the adopted daughter of the Crown Prince's tutor?
Fate is so unpredictable...
Zheng held the clothes up to Shen Nianchu a few times and was pleasantly surprised to find that they fit perfectly, so she quickly went to change them for him.
After all, children change every day, and these perfectly fitting clothes won't last long.
Just then, Yun Wan arrived.
She was dressed in a magnificent gown, her hair styled in a high bun adorned with various jewels. She was no longer accompanied by Pearl alone, but by dozens of maids, making quite a grand spectacle.
“My husband is back,” Yun Wan said as she entered the house. Seeing that Madam Zheng and Shen Rang were busy changing the child’s clothes, a dark glint flashed in her eyes. “You must be tired from your journey. Why don’t you come and sit with me? I’ve had some tea prepared.”
"No, thank you." Shen Rang didn't even glance at her.
Feeling resentful at being treated so coldly by Chen Rang, a look of unwillingness flashed in Yun Wan's eyes.
She sat down and raised her hand to tease Shen Nianchu, but Shen pulled her arm back, and her hand reached out but missed.
The next moment, the child was taken by Zheng.
Shen Nianchu seemed to know that the clothes were made by her mother, and she held them tightly, refusing to let go.
Seeing that although Zheng didn't speak, her whole body and face were full of wariness towards her, Yun Wan couldn't help but sneer.
Who wants this bastard?
She then looked at Shen Rang: "Husband..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Rang had already gotten up and left.
