Chapter 86: Meeting the Young Marquis at Night (7)

At this thought, Ren Wanyun felt less flustered. She looked at the sky and said, “I’ll rest for a while.”
Seeing that she was finally willing to rest, Xianglan and Caiju looked happy. They quickly helped Ren Wanyun to the bed and said, “Madam, rest well. You still need to save some energy for tomorrow.”
“That’s right,” Ren Wanyun muttered. “I need to save my energy for tomorrow.” After all, there would an exciting show tomorrow and she mustn’t miss it.
…
The rain continued all night.
In the quiet mountain forest, the rain stopped and everything withered. After the autumn rain, it became even colder. The air was filled with a moist fragrance. Early in the morning, the bell in the temple started to ring.
The dull sound of the bell woke the people who were sleeping soundly. Ren Wanyun opened her eyes. She slept very uneasily that night and had some nightmares. When she woke up, her forehead was covered in sweat.
“Madam, are you awake?” Xianglan said, stepping forward. “Wipe your face. It’s all sweaty.”
After Ren Wanyun washed up, she looked outside. Outside the window, the sky cleared up after a night of raining, and the birds were still chirping happily.
She smiled and said, “Change into a brighter dress. And that ruby with jade beads.”
She was already middle-aged and was already used to wearing dark clothes. It was rare for her to want to wear bright clothes. Cai Ju smiled and said, “Madam must be in a good mood. You look much better in such bright clothes.”
Ren Wanyun looked at the mirror and smiled in satisfaction. She was naturally in a good mood.
When everything was ready, she said, “Let’s go. It’s time to call my ‘tired’ niece to eat.”
The innermost room of the northern pavilion was quiet. There was not a single girl in the courtyard. When Ren Wanyun saw this, she was quite satisfied. It seemed that Prince Yu had kicked all the maids out.
If not for the fact that she was afraid of causing trouble, she would even want to tell the world that the person inside had lost her virginity.
“Go knock on the door,” she said to Xianglan, disgust flashing in her eyes.
She looked down on women who were dirty, but she selectively forgot that she was the one who made Shen Miao like this.
“Fifth Miss.” Xianglan walked to the door and knocked. “Second Madam is here.”
There was no movement at all inside the door, as if there was no one there at all.
“Fifth Miss, Second Madam is here,” Xianglan continued.
However, after knocking for a long time, no one answered.
Ren Wanyun sighed and said with a smile, “Fifth Sister is really a sleepyhead. It’s already bright outside, but she’s still sleeping.”
She walked to the door and knocked lightly. “Fifth Sister, it’s time to get up and eat. After breakfast, we still have to offer incense. Don’t delay the schedule.”
No one in the room answered her.
Ren Wanyun turned around, shaking her head. She said softly, “Forget it, let’s just push the door open and go in. Where are her maids? Why didn’t they wake up Fifth Miss? I’ll definitely punish them when I get back.” As she spoke, she was about to push the door open and enter.
“Second Aunt,” Someone yelled in the distance. Ren Wanyun was stunned at first, thinking that the voice came from inside the house, but then she heard Xianglan and Caiju say in unison, “Fifth Miss, Second Miss.”
She turned around in surprise and saw Shen Yue and Shen Miao standing together.
Today, Shen Miao was wearing a snow-white dress and a cloak with peonies embroidered on it. She was used to seeing Shen Miao dressed in loud colors. This dress was simply elegant and otherworldly. Coupled with her slightly cold expression, it actually made her look charming.
