t.i.tle: The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter: 008 out of 513 - Nie Sangyu's wish

Scared, Muxu trembled. She hastily wrapped up the lotus leaf and went to sit in the outer room's couch. She ate the chicken and rice, tiny bite by tiny bite. As she ate, she turned her head to scrutinize Nie Sangyu.

Her master voraciously ate her food without the slightest hint of table manners. There was even rice sticking on her face as one hand held a chicken leg. She really resembled a bandit. Noticing Muxu's gaze, she lifted her head and looked at her like a fiendish spirit, ”Eat your food!”

Muxu shuddered. She hastily lowered her head and didn't dare to continue looking. Perhaps, it was her misperception, but she felt as if her master was gentler than before. But, when she behaved fiercely, her gaze was exactly the same as before.

After Ji Man finished the chicken and rice, she started feeling more satisfied with her current situation. She left the aftermath of the meal to Muxu to clean and went back to sleeping.

Ji Man unexpectedly dreamed of Nie Sangyu on her first night in this unfamiliar world.

This pitiful and hateful woman with her deathly pale face floated by in her dream. She quietly said, ”You came here to fulfill my wish for me. When you fulfill my wish, I'll leave to be reincarnated and you can go back.”

Ji Man really wanted to kick her far away. Stupid second female lead. She had caused her own death and now, she wanted her to change the novel's ending?

”What benefit do I get if I help you?”

Nie Sangyu blankly looked at her and said, ”If you don't help me, you won't be able to go back.”

Ji Man, ”…”

So, the meaning was that she had been s.n.a.t.c.hed here to do free work. If she didn't accomplish her task, she wouldn't be able to return to her wonderful modern world and would have to continue staying here?

She took a deep breath, then she took another deep breath. Ji Man decided that a person couldn't bicker with a ghost. She could only press down her anger and ask her, ”What's your wish?”

Nie Sangyu didn't say a word. She turned around and her figure gradually faded away.

She left?

Ji Man was flabbergasted. She shouldn't be messing around like this, right? If Nie Sangyu didn't say her wish, how could she fulfill it?

When Ji Man woke up the next morning, there were two black circles under her eyes.

She was sitting at the table when Muxu brought a bowl of porridge and a pickled vegetable dish. Then, she closed the doors, and quietly said, ”Master, the marquis has ordered for you to stay in the confinement courtyard for now, so you don't need to pay respect to the new madam.”

Ji Man nodded. If she didn't have to pay respects, it would save her trouble. She hadn't figure out who had harmed her on the wedding day yet. She would definitely be at a disadvantage if she went over there without knowing anything.
