Chapter 10
Yun Wan frowned and pondered for a moment before asking, "Are you really sick?"
Jixiang nodded hurriedly: "When I went over just now, she was almost coughing to death in bed, and she looked so listless and unlucky!"
"Tsk!" Yun Wan's brows furrowed even more.
Yunxi, of all times, she fell ill right when she explicitly told Shen Rang that she would take good care of him!
She didn't care whether Yunxi was seriously ill or not, but with Yunxi so ill, how could she dare to send her to a sickbed again?
Yunxi, Yunxi, you really know how to cause trouble for her!
Pearl was completely at a loss: "Miss, what should we do!"
How could Yun Wan not be flustered?
There was a noise outside; it must be Shen Rang returning.
Helpless, Yun Wan could only take a deep breath and lower her voice, saying, "Go back quietly from the back."
After saying that, Yun Wan walked out, trying to appear calm.
The outside was already set up, as usual, with only the light by the door left on, making the room dim.
Shen Rang was already sitting on the bed, watching Yun Wan walk gracefully towards him, when a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
He had a feeling that something was wrong with the figure, but upon closer inspection, he couldn't see anything.
Looking at this figure, for some reason, most of his interest quietly dissipated.
“Husband,” Yun Wan sat down beside him, “It’s really unfortunate, I just suddenly got my period, I’m afraid today…”
As she spoke, she bit her lower lip.
Although Shen Rang was a man, he knew that women should not have sexual intercourse during their menstrual period.
He nodded: "In that case, Madam should get some rest."
Yun Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your consideration, husband."
After saying that, she pretended to be extremely tired, yawned lightly, and then went to sleep as instructed.
Shen Rang remained sitting by the bedside, his mind filled with thoughts.
His gaze, tinged with inquiry, fell upon his wife, who was already lying down.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and lay down as usual.
However, for some reason, he couldn't sleep at all that night, only managing to fall asleep briefly at dawn before waking up again out of habit.
Even though he hadn't slept all night, he wasn't affected at all and still looked energetic when he woke up.
A little later, Yunwan also got up.
Pearl came over to serve her and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yun Wan was alright.
After she went back last night, she couldn't put her mind at ease and kept worrying about things here. She even planned that if there was any commotion in this house, she would come over even if she was scolded by Shen Rang.
After all, Yun Wan's life was more important.
Fortunately, the night was very quiet.
"Is the lord not outside?"
Pearl shook her head: "It seems that the Marquis invited quite a few people to his home to introduce them to the Lord. The Lord couldn't refuse and just left."
Yun Wan nodded: "Social interactions are necessary in officialdom. It's good that the lord is not here. Go out and fetch a doctor to examine Yun Xi and find out what's wrong!"
I hope Yunxi doesn't die before the baby is even born!
It would be one thing if she died somewhere else, but this is her own yard!
Pearl smiled and said, "Young Madam, have you forgotten that our Madam sent Jixiang to accompany the Second Miss? I saw her go out early this morning to fetch a doctor!"
Yun Wan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right. If Yun Xi dies, her personal maid will definitely be blamed for not serving her properly."
“That makes sense,” Pearl said. “Jixiang must be back by now. I’ll have Jixiang bring the doctor over to give me some feedback in a bit.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Wan frowned slightly: "Why see a doctor if you're not sick or injured? It's just inviting bad luck. Just have Ji Xiang come alone!"
She paused for a moment, then added, "Tell Jixiang to change her clothes before coming in."
She didn't want to be tainted by even the slightest bit of bad luck.
Pearl quickly agreed, deftly tied up her hair, and hurriedly left.
After a while, Pearl returned with Jixiang, who had changed into a new set of clothes.
“Young Madam,” Jixiang bowed, “the doctor said that the Second Miss’s illness was caused by being cooped up in her room all the time. Although the medicine can suppress the symptoms, it cannot completely cure the root of the disease. If it goes on for too long, it may damage her health.”
Yun Wan frowned: "You mean, if we don't let her out, it will affect her ability to have children?"
Jixiang nodded and said, "That's what the doctor said."
Yun Wan frowned immediately.
Letting Yunxi out would likely cause trouble, but keeping her would prevent her from having children...
Unable to make a decision, Yun Wan could only say, "Pearl, go back yourself and ask Mother what she thinks. Jixiang, go back and watch over her. Don't let her die in my courtyard!"
They both agreed and went their separate ways after leaving the house.
Jixiang returned to the back room, closed the door, and let out a long sigh.
She looked at Yunxi, who was wearing an outer robe and sitting lazily on the bed playing with a wooden carving, and said, "Miss, I have said everything I needed to say."
Yunxi nodded and casually hummed in agreement: "Thank you for your hard work."
After hesitating for a long time, Jixiang stepped forward and said, "Miss, I don't understand why you insist on going out."
Yunxi glanced at her and said, "If you were like me, locked up in this room that you could walk through in just a few steps all day long, you would also want to go out."
Jixiang was taken aback, looked around the room, and couldn't help but agree.
That's true.
It seems that Yunxi was simply restless and didn't have any other intentions.
Ji Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunxi took in her reaction, a faint smile flashing in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Pearl hurriedly left and then hurriedly returned, heading straight for the main house: "Young Madam, our Madam said that the Second Miss is a capable woman. Right now, the most important thing is for her to take good care of her health and give birth to a child for you as soon as possible."
This means they're going to release Yunxi.
Yun Wan wasn't actually surprised by the answer, but hearing it with her own ears still left her feeling a little uneasy.
Pearl noticed her mistress's displeasure and quickly said, "Young Madam, please don't worry. You are the rightful young mistress of this household, and the old lady doesn't interfere in affairs. If you want, the entire mansion will be your eyes and ears, and everyone will follow your orders. If the second young lady dares to misbehave, there are plenty of people below who will teach her to behave!"
She shares the same view as Madam Yun.
Hearing this, Yun Wan finally felt a little better: "Alright, let her out then. Send her some servant's clothes and tell her that she must wear them whenever she goes out!"
"yes!"
Pearl worked quickly and soon prepared the servants' clothes and sent them to Yunxi.
Pearl didn't go in. She called Jixiang out, gave her the clothes, told her Yunwan's instructions, and then turned and left.
Jixiang turned back and handed the clothes in her hand forward.
Yunxi's gaze fell on it, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Everything went smoothly.
So, it's time for her to move on to the next step.
