Chapter 29 (2/2)

The corner of Ji Man’s mouth slightly twitched. She couldn’t even go outside to speak with Muxu. Was this pestilence G.o.d planning on staying by her side to constantly watch her? Then, what should she do?

When she had originally read this light novel, she had skimmed through the book and only read motional scenes. Everything else was a completely mystery to her. She knew nothing about Nie Qingyun’s personality.

Her eyes turned a full circle. She couldn’t think of a good solution. Anyways, she was sick. She would go straight to acting weak and start crying as soon as she saw Nie Qingyun.

Having settled on this idea, Ji Man held her forehead and lied down on her bed. “My lord, now that you mentioned it, this servant

this servant is feeling woozy. This servant will rest for a bit first.”

Ning Yuxuan curved his lips and nodded, “En.”

This wasn’t the first time he felt suspicious. He didn’t believe that a person’s innate temperament could change this much in a short period of time. Although Liu Mamahad been spying on her this entire time, what if someone had figured out a way to switch Nie Sangyu with someone else? Not only was Nie Clan’s status high, Nie Sangyu was also an important chess piece to maintaining the balance in the imperial household. If someone had kidnapped her, it would be problematic.

The only method that would put him at ease was to let Nie Qingyun come and see her.

Ning Qingyun had always spoiled his younger sister. When he heard about her news, he quickly came over. He even rode a horse here. As soon as he arrived at Feiwan Courtyard, he furrowed his brow. “Sangyu is sick?”

The smell of medicine hadn’t faded from the room. Of course, this was because Ji Man had deliberately spilled some of the medicine when she was drinking it recently.

“En, it was because of the cold weather.” Marquis Moyu was sitting by the bedside. With a gentle expression, he said, “I told her to properly drink medicine, but she wouldn’t.”

Ji Man didn’t dare to open her eyes and continued to pretend to be sleeping. But, someone suddenly pinched her waist. Caught

her waist. Caught off guard, she couldn’t help screaming, “Ahh!”

Nie Qingyun hurriedly walked forward. With his brow furrowed, he said, “What’s wrong?”

With a perfectly calm face, Ning Yuxuan comforted her, “Did you have a nightmare?”

Ji Man clenched her teeth and opened her eyes. First, she silently cursed at Ning Yuxuan. Then, she looked at the older brother that had been continuously looked at her with concern.

Ning Yuxuan was born with a healthy body, a straight nose, and clear and open facial features. One glance would show that he was a good person. While Ji Man looked at him, she pinched herself in the same spot that Ning Yuxuan had recently pinched her. She tearfully looked at him, “Older brother…”

Nie Qingyun sighed. “Everything had been perfectly fine. Why did you do this to yourself?”

Ji Man only sobbed, clutched the hem of Nie Qingyun’s clothes, and didn’t let go. “I dreamed about mother.”

Nie Sangyu’s mother had died very early. This was why Nie Qingyun’s mother had been promoted to position of main wife. Nie Qingyun felt that Sangyu was very pitiful, so he always protected her. He had fully taken on a parent’s responsibility towards her.

Hearing these words, Nie Qingyun glanced at Marquis Moyu. There was a question and also a slight amount of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at him. “The marquis is here. And you still dreamed about your mother?”
