Chapter 345 - Stealing requires professional skills 2 (2/2)
”I know.” Ji Man nodded. ”That's why it'll be fine for Mistress Wan to take the initiative by going to the marquis's bedroom. Apply a sleeping drug to your lips. Once the marquis falls unconscious, Mistress Wan, you'll have your chance to render meritorious service.”
Wen Wan felt a bit shy. After all, the person sitting across from her was a man. Wringing her handkerchief, she hesitated for a long time before finally saying, ”I can only try my best.”
Applying a sleeping drug to her lips was a good idea. As long as Wen Wan wasn't stupid enough to ingest the drug herself, the plan would be a success. Ji Man expectantly waited for the good news.

However, Wen Wan still ended up failing. Ning Yuxuan hadn't fallen unconscious, and Wen Wan didn't have the chance to search his bedroom. The next time that Wen Wan saw Ji Man, her expression was especially unpleasant. She didn't even say a single word before turning around to go to Linghan Courtyard.
Ji Man was at a loss. Marquis Moyu wasn't a person that practiced abstinency. He would have definitely favored Wen Wan, so why had Wen Wan failed? Could the sleeping drug have been expired?

Wen Wan sat down in front of Liu Hanyun. ”Madam, we're probably going to have fight a man for the marquis's favor.” She already couldn't stop her tears from falling down.
”What's wrong?” Liu Hanyun was playing with Xi-er and doubtful glanced at her.
”Do you remember that concentric knot waist accessory and ring?” Wen Wan wiped her tears and said, ”When this servant went to the marquis's room to serve him last night, this servant saw those same items by his bedside table. He wouldn't even let this servant touch them.”
Liu Hanyun's expression changed. ”The same items?”
”Exactly!” Wen Wan gritted her teeth and said, ”You said those items could just be love tokens between an engaged couple, but the other party turned out to be our lord. That man, he's truly has no sense of shame!”
Wen Wan was crying very bitterly, but she didn't feel comfortable telling Liu Hanyun the worst part. Last night's plan had been so meticulous. She had even thought of how she would send the signature seal out once she found it, but Yuxuan had been absolutely unwilling to kiss her lips last night.
Wen Wan looked at Liu Hanyun said, ”How could this type of person be allowed to teach the heir? He should be driven out of the estate! Madam, if you continue to be soft-hearted, this man will snatch away your spot.”
Liu Hanyun stayed silent. She only believed part of Wen Wan's words. The most important part was the she knew Ning Yuxuan would never be interested in a man. Perhaps, that teacher had somehow offended Wen Wan, so she was trying to ruin him?
Contrary to what she was really thinking, Liu Hanyun said, ”Go back to your courtyard to rest first. I'll look into this matter myself and deal with it.”

Ji Man felt dejected. At the very least, Wen Wan was the female lead. Shouldn't she have the basic ability to learn from her mistakes? It had already been so long, but she was still so stupid and couldn't even successfully seduce someone. Men were visual creatures that were controlled by the lower half of their bodies. All Wen Wan had to do was sneak into his bed in the middle of the night. Then, while wearing skimpy clothing, she would expose a fragrant shoulder and call out, ”I'm so cold”. How many stallions wouldn't have fallen for that trap?
How could Wen Wan have failed?
Ji Man sighed for a while before making a decision and standing up.
