Chapter 006 - The ending can't be changed

The scalding tea was spilled onto the new madam and the tea also scalded Ji Man's hand. Someone nearby screamed and the main room suddenly became a chaotic mess.

Wen Wan was overcome with shock for a moment. When she returned to her senses and saw the chaotic scene, she hurriedly said clever words, ”It's fine. It was only an accident. There's no need to be this anxious. It's only a cup of tea. My dress is very thick.”

Ji Man clutched her left hand and stood at the side. She thought, I haven't done anything to hurt other people, but other people want to hurt me. She hadn't done anything at all. Why did her knees suddenly feel painful?

She cast a glance at the women near her. Everyone looked tense and was trying their best to remain calm. She couldn't tell who done that trick or how she had done it. Ji Man felt that she had really underestimated the intelligence people from ancient times.

There were n.o.bles amount the guests, so Marquis Moyu couldn't explode in anger. He could only coldly look at Ji Man and have the matron of honor bring the bride to the bridal chamber.

Ji Man summoned her courage and stood up. She knew that Marquis Moyu would definitely settle scores once there was opportune moment. She had already obediently changed Nie Sangyu's temperament and the plot had changed, so why was the result still the same? Nie Sangyu would still continue to be confined.

She sighed. She could only accept her fate. As long as her life wasn't at risk, she might as well take things less seriously. Besides, her head was still on the chopping block, regardless if she stretched her head out or shrunk it back.

After the ceremony was over, the concubines were led back by servant girls. Under the eyes of everyone, Ji Man lightly smiled and held Muxu's arm for support as she walked back the confinement courtyard.

”Master…” Muxu had mostly heard what had happened while she was standing outside, so she called out in worry. But, she didn't dare to say anything else.

Ji Man tilted her head and smiled at her. ”Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen. In any case, my family has significant influence. He's already done the worst thing by demoting me to a concubine. At most, he'll continue to confine me. He won't do anything else.”

Nie Sangyu's family was exceptional. Her father was a third-rank general and her paternal aunt was a n.o.ble consort. She also had a cousin that was an imperial physician and an older brother was a medium-rank military officer. It was exactly because of these background supporters that Marquis Moyu had tolerated Nie Sangyu's actions for so long.

Because Marquis Moyu had recently wanted to marry Wen Wan, Nie Sangyu had caused her own ruined through her recklessness. She had charged into the palace and caused a huge disturbance. The emperor had angrily rebuked Nie Sangyu. And, her actions had even led n.o.ble Consort Nie to lose favor with the emperor. This was how Marquis Moyu was able to demote her to a concubine status.

Ji Man felt that Marquis Moyu was the archetype of an ungrateful person that failed to be loyal to his lover. Nie Sangyu had been his lawfully wedded wife. After he had angered her to the point of her losing her sense of propriety, he had casually taken away her position as the main wife. Marquis Moyu was probably secretly overjoyed.
