Chapter 17 (2/2)

She asked Ji Man while crying, ”Loving him, hating him, begging him. I can't do any of these things. Am I not even allowed to die?”

Ji Man's heart slightly moved. The Nie Sangyu at that time, she was truly desperate and without hope. For a man that didn't love her, she was going to give up her life.

The scene changed. Nie Sangyu listened to n.o.ble Consort Ning's advice and regained hope. It was true that Marquis Moyu was an amorous person, with courtyards full of concubines, but he never truly loved any of them. She felt that she still had a chance.

Ji Man felt admiration for her. Even if Nie Sangyu died, Marquis Moyu wouldn't be emotionally moved. And, she actually thought she had a chance to get him to fall in love with her?

And so, Nie Sangyu recovered. From the bottom of her heart, she joyfully stayed by Marquis Moyu's side. Then, Wen Wan appeared.

When you were feeling utterly hopeless, you would say you want to die. Then, what do you say when you didn't even have the spirit to want to die? When you were hollowed out and had lost all of your feelings?

In the next scene, Nie Sangyu blocked the doorway. She stubbornly looked at Marquis Moyu. She was determined to death to not allow him to go out and give the betrothal gift.

Marquis Moyu raised his hand and pushed her to side. He mounted a horse and left. She staggered after him, but she couldn't stop him. Cutting a sorry figure, she headed to the palace in tears. She hoped that n.o.ble Consort Ning could help her stop him.

With her hair down and messy, she rushed into the palace and provoked the emperor with her disheveled appearance. Nie Sangyu didn't even have time to stop Marquis Moyu before she was reprimanded by the emperor and lost her position as the main wife.

Ji Man sighed as she watched this. Under the cultural rules of ancient times, Nie Sangyu's actions were truly shrewish and lacking the demeanor of a main wife. She hadn't understood that she had married a marquis, who was destined to have many concubines. She had acted like a young girl, who tried to forcibly hold onto her things without letting go.

She turned to look at Nie Sangyu, who seemed as if she would never finish crying. Ji Man sighed again. But, it was because she was wretchedly in love with Marquis Moyu, so she acted without regard to the rules. She didn't seem like the vicious woman that had been written in the novel. She was just easily manipulated and incited by other people. When she encountered a matter related to Marquis Moyu, she would lose all of her calmness and rationality.

”Why did you show me this? What are you trying to tell me?” Ji Man contemplated before saying, ”You have an unfinished desire. How about telling me what your wish is, so that I can help you fulfill it?”

Nie Sangyu raised her head. Her eyes had turned red from crying. She pointed at the screen made of water again.

The screen changed. Marquis Moyu was gently sitting in a pavilion. A smiling Nie Sangyu helped him put on a cloak. Marquis Moyu raised his head. His eyes were full of desire to pamper.

Ji Man sneezed. This picture was definitely imagined by Nie Sangyu!

”You want him to fall in love with you?” The corners of Ji Man's mouth twitched and she firmly shook her head. ”That's impossible!”
