Chapter 172
Yunxi tripped and fell, which made Yunwan laugh out loud, so she didn't suffer much more and went back home.
Back at Jibai Residence, Jixiang was still full of indignation: "The young mistress did it on purpose!"
"Since you know she did it on purpose, what's there to be angry about?" Yunxi said calmly. "If I had known she was trying to intimidate me, I would have been fine as long as I went along with her."
She picked up the wooden rabbit carving that was originally on the first floor and took it up to the second floor, placing it on her desk so she could play with it anytime.
Jixiang pouted and nudged Le'an with her elbow: "When the young master comes back tonight, you must tell him about it!"
Before Le'an could agree, Yunxi spoke up: "No."
The two of them were both taken aback.
Even Le'an was confused: "Auntie, the young mistress is clearly making things difficult for you. Wouldn't it be better if the young master knew and stood up for you?"
That's not good.
Firstly, even if Shen Rang can become her support, this support cannot be something she asks for herself. Shen Rang must discover it first before intervening. Otherwise, in Zheng's eyes, wouldn't she become a petty person who sows discord?
If that's the case, she'll only face more torment in the future.
Secondly, how much attention can hearsay really make Shen Rang take it seriously? If it happens too often, Shen Rang might even think she's making a mountain out of a molehill, which would be a huge loss.
So even if you want to say it, you can't say it so early.
However, Yunxi could only think these words in her heart. On the surface, she only said, "The young master has just entered the court and has many things to do. It is best not to let the young master be distracted by the affairs of the inner quarters. Otherwise, if the young master's future is delayed, the sin will be great."
After she finished speaking, Le An immediately nodded.
She was originally one of Shen Rang's people, and even though she was assigned to Yun Xi's side, her heart still subconsciously leaned towards Shen Rang.
Seeing this, Jixiang had no choice but to keep quiet.
When Shen Rang returned that day, the two of them indeed kept silent about Yun Xi's grievances.
Shen Rang naturally didn't know either, but his gaze fell on the wooden rabbit that had been moved to the second floor at some point, and his eyes deepened.
"This wooden rabbit...do you like it that much?"
I take it with me everywhere I go.
Yunxi didn't catch the deeper meaning in his tone and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's best to keep it in front of you at all times. I'm always afraid of losing it if it's far away."
After all, these are some of the few old items left.
Shen Rang's eyes darkened slightly.
"Well, it's getting late, let's take a bath."
"we?"
Yunxi was taken aback.
She then realized why the bathtub in the room was so big.
Yunxi blushed slightly, hesitatingly wanting to refuse.
She was still a little embarrassed.
However, Shen Rang refused and pulled her away.
Shen Rang tonight was like a completely different person compared to yesterday, and Yun Xi was forced to retreat one after another.
Yunxi could tell that Shen Rang was unhappy, but she couldn't figure out why. However, Shen Rang's inherent wickedness resurfaced, and he refused to say it outright, only asking her to guess. If she couldn't guess, he wouldn't let her off the hook.
——
The next morning, Yunxi felt as if her whole body had been run over by a heavy object, and she was in unbearable pain.
She didn't even know when she fell asleep last night.
Meeting Shen Rang's meaningful gaze, Yun Xi blushed slightly and stood up with him.
After they finished getting ready, Yunxi hurriedly headed towards Liuyun Garden.
