Chapter 73
As soon as Yun Wan finished speaking, Yun Xi was pushed and shoved back to the back room by several burly old women.
Then, with a bang, the door was slammed shut, and the shadows of several thick wooden strips appeared on the window. Immediately afterwards, the sound of hammering nails could be heard outside.
Yunxi quickly opened the window: "What are you doing?!"
Pearl looked at her coldly.
Perhaps due to the fright, the woman's face was pale, and her pair of dark, bright eyes were filled with panic. If a man saw her, he would probably feel pity for her by now.
She truly is a born vixen!
"The young mistress has ordered that the second young lady should reflect on her actions in the next few days. To prevent her from sneaking out, it would be better to nail the main gate shut."
"But Second Miss, there's no need to be afraid. This window can be opened, so it's not impossible for you to get some fresh air if you want."
Watching the women nail the wooden strips shut, Pearl snorted coldly again before leading everyone away.
She wanted to see who Yunxi could flaunt her charms to now!
Pearl returned to report, but her face showed some worry: "Young Madam, won't this cause something bad to happen?"
Yun Wan snorted coldly: "It's just locking her up for a few days and starving her for a few more days. What could possibly happen? If we don't tame this brat, who knows how much trouble she'll cause in the future!"
"yes."
"Alright, send someone to guard the street corner. As soon as the young master returns, send him a message to me immediately."
She realized that the reason Yunxi had an opportunity was simply because she hadn't cared enough about Shen Rang. Otherwise, how could she, who grew up in a prestigious family in the capital, be inferior to that lowly country girl?
"yes."
——
Just as dusk fell, Pearl received the news and quickly helped Yunwan, who had been dressed up again, toward the main gate.
When Yun Wan arrived at the main entrance, Shen Rang had just dismounted in front of it.
He was carrying an exquisite brocade box, which didn't look like food but rather some kind of delicate toy.
Yun Wan's gaze fell on the brocade box: "Husband, is this for me?"
Before Shen Rang could speak, Yun Wan took the brocade box from him and said, "Thank you, my husband!"
Standing at the entrance of the Marquis's residence, Shen Rang, though dissatisfied, could not show it too obviously, so he could only let her be: "Are you going out?"
“No,” Yun Wan’s smile deepened, “I’m here to welcome my husband.”
"Is my husband tired from official duties today?" Yun Wan asked with a smile. "Autumn is dry, so I had someone make some pear soup. My husband should drink more of it."
After saying that, Yun Wan reached out to take his arm, but he subtly avoided it, saying, "You're too kind, Madam."
Shen Rang strode towards the mansion.
However, after taking only two steps, he heard a voice: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Shen Rang paused, turned around, and sure enough, he saw the Crown Prince coming over, sitting on his horse and smiling at him.
Shen Rang had no choice but to take two steps toward the Crown Prince and bow with his hands clasped: "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince dismounted and stepped forward to help Shen Rang up: "No need to be so polite. I've come to see Lord Shen."
Shen Jun handed him a list a couple of days ago. He was very interested in several people on the list, so he came over in person.
"Please, Your Highness."
Leading the Crown Prince into the main hall, Yun Wan hurriedly ordered people to serve tea and snacks.
The Crown Prince looked at Yun Wan and said, "Zi Rong's wife is indeed elegant and dignified, with the demeanor of a great lady. Zi Rong is truly blessed to have such a wife."
Upon hearing the Crown Prince's personal praise, Yun Wan was surprised but couldn't help but smile.
