Chapter 76
Jixiang curtsied and said, "Young Madam, the one in the backyard says she knows she was wrong and would like to ask you to be lenient."
Upon hearing this, Shen Rang's eyebrows twitched.
The one in the backyard...
The servants Yun Wan brought all lived in the side courtyards; besides the girl in front of her, the only other person in the back courtyard was...
Yunxi!
No wonder I didn't see her yesterday, something must have happened!
Could it be that Yun Wan already knows...? No, how did she know?
Shen Rang was shocked. His hands, which were hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists in an instant, barely managing to maintain his composure.
Yun Wan was also somewhat surprised.
I never expected that the bitch would be so spineless. She was only starved for a day, and she actually came to beg me.
"Does she really know she was wrong?"
Jixiang nodded, glanced cautiously at Chen Rang, and said, "That person was quite frightened by the noise of the doors and windows being nailed shut. It's been two days and one night now, and he hasn't eaten anything. It must be true—"
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Wan interrupted her angrily: "Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting in front of the young master!"
However, Shen Rang had already heard everything he should and shouldn't have heard.
Nail the doors and windows shut, and haven't eaten anything for two days and one night...
Shen Rang secretly took a breath.
"Alright, since you know you were wrong, let her out," Yun Wan said. "I'm not being mean-spirited. Send her some food, just in case she really gets sick from hunger."
"yes."
Jixiang curtsied and hurriedly went down to deliver the message.
Yun Wan smiled and looked at Shen Rang: "Husband, it's almost time for dinner, let's go back."
Shen Rang hummed in agreement.
Seeing that Shen Rang's expression was indifferent, as if he had not discovered anything, Yun Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
——
In the backyard, the wooden strips nailed to the doors and windows were removed, and Jixiang soon brought over the food.
After a few mouthfuls of congee, Yunxi sighed contentedly.
This bowl of plain congee was the best she had ever tasted in both her lives.
Jixiang turned around and closed the doors and windows, lowering her voice to say, "Second Miss, when I went to find the Young Madam, the Young Master was also there. I told him everything that had happened to you these past two days. I'm sure the Young Master will feel very sorry for you."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi glanced at Jixiang in surprise.
Jixiang was much more clever than she had imagined.
Meeting Yunxi's gaze, Jixiang pursed her lips shyly: "Second Miss, did I act on my own initiative?"
“No,” Yunxi said, “you did very well.”
That one sentence saved her so much trouble.
Hearing this, Jixiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunxi hadn't eaten for two whole days, and although she couldn't eat much right now, she might get hungry again soon. So she kept a few things that could be stored with her, and asked Jixiang to take the rest back.
However, not long after, Jixiang returned and brought Yunxi a message: "The young master said that you have suffered a great calamity and need to rest well. He will not take a day off tomorrow. He will take you out when you have recovered."
"The young master also asked if there was anything the young lady wanted to eat or eat, and that he would buy it and have Jingyuan bring it in tomorrow."
Yunxi pondered for a moment and said, "Please tell the young master that after this experience, I know I shouldn't have any more thoughts. Even if not for myself, I should think about my parents who are far away in the countryside. So from now on, the young master and I should keep to ourselves."
"Girl?!" Jixiang exclaimed in surprise.
How can you say that?!
Shen Rang clearly has feelings for her, how could she...
What if after saying these words, Shen Rang really stops getting along with Yun Xi?
“That’s it,” Yunxi said decisively, “not a single word off.”
The two looked at each other for a long time. Finally, Jixiang sighed with disappointment and turned to deliver the message.
