Chapter 205 – Being slick at establishing social connections is a praiseworthy trait (2)
Marquis Moyu raised his eyes and deeply looked at her. He chuckled, then brought her onto his lap. “You’re such a clever person and so slick at establishing social connections. You’ve gotten yourself a favorable impression from everyone.”
Sitting on his lap, Ji Man seriously said, “This servant thinks that being slick at establishing social connections is a praiseworthy trait. It’s really not easy to accomplish this.”
Ning Yuxuan chuckled again, “Are you actually praising yourself?” He rubbed her belly and said, “It’ll be born in another five months, right?”
Ji Man also stretched her hand out to touch her stomach. She nodded and tried to probe out his feelings by asking, “My lord, do you think it’s possible for this baby to be born safely?”
Marquis Moyu paused. The smile in his eyes dimmed. “You’re worrying over nothing. This baby is doing fine. Why wouldn’t it be able to be born safely?”
Ji Man turned her head to look at him. Her bright gaze was full of tenderness and a mother’s special glow. ”This is this servant’s first time being pregnant. No matter what it takes, this servant wants to give birth to this baby. My lord, please help me accomplish my goal.”
She had been wearing Nie Sangyu’s body for such a long time and done her best to win over Marquis Moyu. She had changed Nie Sangyu’s reputation from an insensible, vicious villainess to a reasonable woman that did her best to know when to advance and when to retreat. If she still hadn’t made a ripple in Marquis Moyu’s heart, then she really wanted to ask if a stone had replaced this person’s heart.
A light flashed through Ning Yuxuan’s eyes. He hugged for a long time while he contemplated his answer. He finally said, “Why would you need my help? Don’t worry, nothing bad will happen. Just be at ease and take of your health.”
Ji Man seriously nodded. In an incomparably intimate and emotional voice, she said, “My lord, this servant will believe in you.”
This would be the only time she would believe in him. If something bad still happened, she would wreak havoc on Marquis Moyu’s entire household.

The next day, Ji Man took the storeroom key and secretly hired people to take her dowry and sell it off for her. This would put an end to the lie she had told Old Madame by making it into a truth.
However, there was still an unavoidable commotion as they were carrying her entire dowry out of the estate. Although Ji Man had chosen a time when everyone was resting after lunch, Muxu happened to not be napping today. Moreover, Muxu had decided to come over to talk to her.
And so, Muxu saw a stream of familiar boxes being carried out of the estate. Although she felt very puzzled, she didn’t anything and continued walking to Feiwan Courtyard to pay respects to Nie Sangyu.
Looking at Muxu with a smile, Ji Man asked her how she had been doing lately.
Muxu forced herself to smile and said, “Thanks to Madam’s generosity, this servant no longer has to serve anyone. Still, this servant’s days haven’t been very good.”
