Chapter 91
Yun Wan laughed heartily twice: "Alright, go downstairs. Seeing your spineless cowardly appearance is bad luck!"
It's really boring to take your anger out on an incompetent fool!
——
When Yunxi returned to the back room, she saw Jixiang pacing anxiously in the courtyard.
Seeing her return, Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to greet her: "Miss, are you alright? I just heard a really loud noise!"
As he spoke, Jixiang looked her up and down. Seeing that she had all her limbs intact and no injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm so glad you're alright!"
Yunxi's expression immediately turned very strange: "Are you worried about me?"
Jixiang was taken aback: "Yes."
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
Jixiang nodded and quickly escorted her back: "Miss, please rest well. Don't worry, I'll stay outside. If anything happens, I'll come and let you know."
The door was gently closed, and Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since she heard what Yun Wan said, she had felt inexplicably depressed.
Yunxi raised her hand to her chest, her expression growing increasingly strange.
Why is this happening...?
Could it be that she has genuinely developed a liking for Shen Rang?
Yunxi shook her head.
Impossible, impossible. She hasn't avenged her blood feud yet, how could she be entangled in love?
Recalling the scene of her previous life where she was disemboweled and her adoptive parents and young child also met tragic ends, Yunxi's eyes turned bloodshot.
The feelings of love were barely aroused when they were completely suppressed by deep-seated hatred.
Just then, someone gently knocked twice on the window of the room.
"Miss, the young master requests your presence at the Water Pavilion."
Chen Rang?
He hasn't left yet?
Yunxi took a deep breath and composed herself: "I understand, I'll go right away."
On the way to Shuiyang Tower, Jixiang kept peeking around furtively, and nervously escorted Yunxi to the tower. She then lowered her voice and said, "I'll be hiding nearby, Miss, don't worry."
Yunxi hummed in agreement and started going upstairs.
Inside the building, Shen Rang was painting.
The drawing turned out to be of a rabbit.
His brushstrokes were exquisite; the rabbit was so lifelike that it seemed about to leap off the paper at any moment.
As soon as Yunxi came over, Shen Rang looked up at her and said, "Those flowers looked quite heavy. Did you hurt yourself?"
Yunxi was completely taken aback when he said something like that, and after a moment of reaction, she replied, "...No."
“Hmm,” Shen Rang continued writing, “If you are bullied in the future, don’t take it out on yourself.”
"Don't be afraid, she won't dare to do anything to you again."
He finally finished painting, stood up straight, looked at his work, and was very satisfied.
Yunxi didn't say anything, but she was puzzled.
Shen Rang was also in a high position, so he naturally knew that sometimes a word from a person in a high position could determine the life or death of those below. If that was the case, why did Shen Rang say such a thing?
After not hearing Yunxi's voice for a while, Shen Rang's gaze fell on her: "Last time you were punished with confinement and fasting, I asked my mother to step in and give her a warning, so at least for the time being, she won't dare to do it again."
"Even if she does make a move, it's alright. I've arranged for trustworthy people in the courtyard to ensure your safety."
"So, you can be a little bolder."
He couldn't be at the Marquis's residence all the time. Even with servants protecting her, it was only to ensure Yunxi wouldn't be in any danger. If she wanted to avoid being wronged, she still had to rely on herself.
He was happy to be her support.
Sensing that he meant she was being supported, Yunxi's eyes lit up slightly, and she smiled brightly: "With the young master here, I'm not afraid of anything!"
