Chapter 71
Yun Wan wanted to rush out and tear that bastard's face apart, but considering that Shen Rang was still there, she had to grit her teeth and endure it.
But... what exactly is that Water Pavilion?
The two people outside exchanged a few more words and then prepared to return. Yun Wan took two deep breaths to calm her anger and went back first, pretending that she had never woken up.
This time, however, she couldn't fall asleep no matter what, and she stayed up until dawn.
After Chen Rang left at dawn, Yun Wan wanted to bring Yun Xi over and beat her to death immediately, but Zhen Zhu stopped her.
"Young Madam, please calm down!"
Pearl had no idea what had happened the night before, so she couldn't understand why Yun Wan was so eager to kill Yun Xi that night.
"Calm down? How can I calm down!" Yun Wan's eyes were red. "Do you know that Yun Xi has already silently bewitched the young master! I don't know what kind of affair they have, but last night the young master even patiently coaxed her!"
Shen Rang had always been indifferent in front of her, and he spoke in the same way. But last night, she heard her husband speaking so patiently to another woman!
Even without seeing it with her own eyes, she could imagine that Shen Rang's expression must have been extremely gentle when facing Yun Xi!
All of this should have been hers!
"Go and bring Yunxi here. I'm going to kill her!"
Pearl immediately knelt down before her: "Young Madam, you mustn't! Yunxi hasn't even given birth yet. If you kill her now, what will you do in the future!"
That would be fatal!
"Am I really just supposed to let that bitch go like this?" Yun Wan was still indignant. "She's been so arrogant, is there really nothing I can do?!"
Pearl looked conflicted: "Young Madam, we still need Yunxi to give birth to your child. It's alright if the young master is interested in Yunxi for now, but if he finds out that the girl he sleeps with every night is that wretched girl, and then it comes up that you can't have sex with her... then things will get really serious!"
Being unable to consummate the marriage means being unable to continue the family bloodline, which violates one of the seven grounds for divorce. The Marquis's mansion can directly divorce her, and it will be extremely difficult for Yun Wan to remarry in the future!
"Besides, if we go too far and kill someone, we'll have a hard time explaining it to our mistress..."
After all, they are mother and daughter who are connected by blood. They are not afraid of losing a life, but they still need to have a plausible explanation.
Yun Wan finally calmed down.
Pearl quickly brought over a cup of warm tea, extinguishing the last embers of hope in her heart.
“By the way,” Yun Wan put down her teacup, “last night I heard them talking about Shuiyanglou, what kind of place is that?”
“Oh, I heard from the servants of the Marquis’s residence that there is a pavilion on the lake, which is where the young master usually enjoys the scenery,” Pearl said. “I heard that only the young master can enter and leave the Water Pavilion, and even the Marquis and his wife do not usually go there.”
Since Madam Yun's last visit, Pearl has realized how important it is to build good relationships with the servants of the Marquis's mansion, and in the past few days, she has indeed reaped considerable rewards.
Yun Wan scoffed coldly.
Even the Marquis and his wife are not allowed to come and go, yet that lowly maid is truly blessed!
"Send someone to keep an eye on Shuiyang Tower. Report back to me immediately if there's any disturbance!"
As for Yunxi... she'll keep that wretched girl around for a while longer!
"yes."
Despite the uproar in front, Yunxi remained oblivious, waiting in the backyard until dusk before preparing to head to Shuiyang Tower.
Before leaving, Yunxi glanced at Jixiang and said, "Jixiang, you don't need to come with me anymore. Go back and rest."
Now that the two were in the same boat, Jixiang thought that if she went there, she would only be looking for a place to kill time, and it would be more interesting to stay in the house, so she nodded: "Yes."
So Yunxi went to Shuiyang Tower alone, completely unaware that a pair of eyes were watching her from the shadows.
The person sent by Yun Wan crouched in the shadows. He first watched Yun Xi go up to Shui Yang Lou without any hindrance, and after waiting for a while, he saw Shen Rang carrying a food box up. He then quickly turned around and ran towards Liu Yun Yuan.
