Chapter: 033 out of 513 – A marquis that had become foolish because of love (2)

Wen Wan’s face turned red from humiliation. Her fingernails were rigidly digging into her palms. She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry. How was she supposed to handle this type of situation? Yuxuan clearly knew that his mother was very difficult to deal with. How could he have left her alone like this?

When she thought of it that way, her heart actually felt somewhat resentful.

In the midst of this silence, Ji Man raised her head and said, “Old Madame, Sangyu is no longer this household’s main wife. The madam in front of you is the main wife. It’s rather cold outside. How about we go inside to talk?”

Old madame turned her head to look at Nie Sangyu. Her eyes held a bit of doting, but she didn’t say anything. It became silent again for a while. When everyone’s knees ached from kneeling, old madame finally said, “All of you, come inside with me.”

Tanxiang helped Wen Wan stand up, and the other concubines also stood up. No one dared to breath too heavily as they followed behind old madame.

When she reached the main courtyard’s entrance, old madame turned her head and said, “Sangyu, I’m slightly tired today. They can forgo with paying respect to me one by one. You and that Wen Wan, come into my room to speak.

“This servant will

obey.” Nie Sangyu acknowledged the order and the other women dispersed. Wen Wan was left to stand by herself in front of Nie Sangyu. The furrowed s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows showed that she was worried.

While old madame was changing her clothes, Ji Man whispered to Wen Wan, “Madam, don’t be afraid. Old Madame is just unhappy that the marquis hid this from her. It’s not that she doesn’t like you. You’re already the marquis’s wife. There’s nothing for you to be afraid of.”

Wen Wan hadn’t expected that Nie Sangyu would be comforting her at this time. But, she couldn’t distinguish if she was being sincere or not. She could only nod and silently clutch her handkerchief.

After old madame changed into more comfortable clothing and reclined on a wooden chaise lounge, her personal servant girl, Shouwu, finally went out and told them to come into the room.

“I already heard about this on the way here. Xuan-er took away Sangyu’s position as the main wife.” Old madame’s eyes sharply swept over the two people in front of her. “But, I didn’t know that he had put someone else into her position. Miss Wei, where do you come from?”

Wen Wan had already been married to Ning Yuxuan for a month, but she was still calling her Miss. Old madame was clearly unwilling to acknowledge her status. Wen Wan’s face turned slightly white. She kneeled down and reported, “My father’s name is Wen

Wen Yi. He works as a jailer on the northern side of the capital’s imperial prison. My father’s younger brother is a seventh rank judicial officer.

Even Ji Man felt that Wen Wan’s family background was shabby. Normally, this would only be enough for her to be a concubine in a non-aristocrat family. No one would have expected that the dignified Marquis Moyu would have made her his main wife.

Old madame’s face changed colors. In the end, she heavily harrumphed and said, “Did you instigate Xuan-er into making you his main wife?”

Wen Wan bit her lip, “This daughter-in-law didn’t do this. The marquis had done this voluntarily…”
