Chapter: 081 out of 513 – The position of the secondary wife (2)
Ning Yuxuan was truly feeling very angry, but he didn’t know why he was feeling this way. He knew that it was impossible for anything to happen between Nie Sangyu and the crown prince, but he was still in a bad mood when he saw the crown prince continuing to hold the lotus flower.
“I don’t like her. I didn’t like her before, and I don’t like her now either.” After saying these words, Marquis Moyu raised his wine cup and said, “There are countless beauties in the world that you can only look at. You can’t just base your decisions on whether you like them or not based on their looks.”
“Even thought you say this, didn’t you still marry Wen Wan anyways?” Zhao Zhe was slightly drunk and there was even a somewhat confused look in his eyes.
Ning Yuxuan lightly laughed. “Wen Wan was only able to enter my household because of the princess consort’s care and help. When Wen Wan becomes pregnant in the future, I’ll have to ask the princess consort to come and give the baby a name.”
The crown prince finally smiled in satisfaction and let him off.
Ning Yuxuan quietly sighed. It was really tiring to have a conversation full of hidden meanings. He suddenly reminisced about the stories that Sangyu had told him. In those stories, there was a clear and simple distinction between good people and bad people.

After another two days passed, Ning Yuxuan arranged for a proper honor guard and personally led them to the palace to welcome old madame home.
This farce had finally ended. Before leaving, Ji Man truly felt a bit reluctant about leaving the palace. In the palace, she was under Noble Consort Nie’s protection and had extremely good food to eat. She didn’t have to fight and scheme against other women and only had to attend to old madame for a little bit each day.
But, she didn’t have an option. Old madame wanted to go back to make life difficult for Wen Wan again, and she couldn’t stay in the palace by herself.
Wen Wan’s expression wasn’t good as she kneeled at the entrance to welcome old madame. Qian Lianxue and Qi Siling were also here. Ji Man supported old madame as she got off from the carriage. She saw old madame briefly inquire Qian Lianxue about her health, then she directly went inside.
Wen Wan was still kneeling and her face changed colors. Ning Yuxuan got off from his horse and personally helped her up and led her inside.
Old madame’s action was really humiliating Wen Wan. She was clearly showing that she wanted to make life uncomfortable for Wen Wan. She had originally wanted to secretly hand over the management of the inner court’s accounts to Sangyu, but now she didn’t put up any pretense. In front of everyone, she told Wen Wan to hand over the account book to Sangyu.
Qi Siling came forward and said, “Old Madame, this wouldn’t proper. No matter what, Madam is the main wife and there’s nothing wrong with her health. How could a concubine be allowed to manage the account book?”
