Chapter: 031 out of 513 - The malicious mother-in-law has returned (2)

The secondary female characters in novels were always talented individuals, with powerful backgrounds and that was why they were able to frame the female leads. Nie Sangyu wasn’t an exception. Ji Man remembered that the reason Nie Sangyu was able to execute all of her schemes was because Marquis Moyu’s mother was supporting her. As a malicious mother-in-law, Marquis Moyu’s mother, Old Madame Ning, was Nie Sangyu’s perfect partner. One would frame the female lead and the other would punish her. They had horribly tormented the female lead.

And now, Ji Man’s long awaited savior, Old Madame Ning, was finally returning home after staying at Foshan for two months!

Marquis Moyu had woken Ji Man early this morning and ordered Muxu to change her into her best set of clothing. Look at her complexion. It had improved a lot. At least, she didn’t look too ill and could leave her room to meet people.

Muxu was put into a difficult position and she looked through Nie Sangyu’s wardrobe for a long time. She only found one slightly expensive-looking long blue dress. What else was there left? The other expensive clothing and jewelry had all been sold. There were only a few silver hairpins in Nie Sangyu’s jewelry box.

However, Ji Man generously said words to help her, “This servant is only a concubine. It wouldn’t be proper for me to wear glamorous clothing.

Simple clothing would be more suitable.”

Marquis Moyu glanced at her jewelry box. He didn’t say a word and seemed to be tacitly agreeing. Ji Man changed into a white sleeves top and wore the long dress over it. After Muxu brushed her hair into a simple duoma hairstyle, Ji Man went with Ning Yuxuan to Qiangwei Courtyard.

Several eyes had turned red from worry over the marquis staying at Feiwan Courtyard for two days. He hadn’t taken a single step out of the courtyard during those two days. Countless eyes had looked over the walls of Feiwan Courtyard. They saw the courtyard being planted full of wild roses, and they also saw the marquis inviting Nie Sangyu’s older brother over to see her. Even Wen Wan’s heart felt slightly uncomfortable after knowing about this.

Furthermore, Mu Shuiqing had strangely spent the last two days telling Wen Wan that Nie Sangyu was only pretending to be a good person and how she had framed herself. Even if Wen Wan didn’t believe Mu Shuiqing’s words, these ideas still lingered in her mind. When she looked at Nie Sangyu today, her gaze was more reserved than before.

As a result, when Ji Man stood behind Honored Concubine Xue, several eyes fell on her.

“Sangyu, have you recovered from your cold?” Wen Wan asked.

“Thank you

you Madam for your concern. It’s not a hindrance anymore.” Ji Man slightly saluted. “It was all thanks to the marquis’s care. Sangyu will fondly remember this.”

Qi Siling lightly smiled and said, “This can be considered as something good coming from a disaster. I presume that the marquis won’t be focusing on younger sister’s previous actions. In the future, we should all get along as a family.”

Qing Lianxue smiled and echoed Siling’s sentiment, “Yes, the family that lives in harmony will be prosperous together.”

Mu Shuiqing also smiled. Next to her, Liu Hanyun had her head lowered and didn’t show any response.
