Chapter: 039 out of 513 – It’s time to have a son (2)

Nie Sangyu had the old madame to support her, but the other concubines, who didn’t have the marquis’s love or old madame’s support, found it difficult to even have the opportunity to see him and their hearts inevitably felt a sense of disequilibrium.

And so, when Ji Man came out from old madame’s courtyard today, she saw Mu Shuiqing standing outside.

Looking at Nie Sangyu from far away, Mu Shuiqing derisively shook her handkerchief. “Yo, isn’t this Master Sang? I need to stand farther away. Otherwise, you’ll blame me for pus.h.i.+ng you again when you were the one that fell into the water yourself.”

Ji Man didn’t take this level of provocation seriously at all. “Master Qing, have you finished embroidering those handkerchiefs?”

At the mention of this, Mu Shuiqing became so mad that her face changed colors. This had originally been Nie Sangyu’s job, but all of it had been given to her to do. If she hadn’t convinced Madam to say a few good words for her, the marquis would have decided that she had to continue to shut herself up and ponder over her mistakes. Wouldn’t this mean that she was being treated the same way as this poisonous woman?

“I’ve been thinking of giving my personal servant girl, Muxu, a new handkerchief. Her current one is getting ratty. Master Qing, I’ll have to ask you to embroider faster.” Ji Man lightly smiled and

very gracefully saluted Mu Shuiqing. Then, she continued walking forward with Muxu following behind her.

Mu Shuiqing’s expression was very ugly. She turned her head to look at Nie Sangyu’s departing figure and angrily shouted, “You won’t be feeling for proud for long!”

At the very least, she was the crown prince’s person. The crown prince and empress’s side and n.o.ble Consort Nie’s side were as incompatible as water and fire. Once this woman made a mistake, she would seize that opportunity and make sure that Nie Sangyu would never be able to reverse her fortunes again!

After seething with anger for a long time by herself, Mu Shuiqing finally turned around and continued walking to Qiangwei Courtyard.

Later that day, Ji Man heard the news that the marquis had sent a message for Mu Shuiqing to serve him in the western courtyard. Ji Man shrugged her shoulders. She wasn’t the slightest bit curious on why Mu Shuiqing was suddenly receiving his favor. Based on the frequency of her visits to Qiangwei Courtyard, as well as the female lead’s low IQ, the female lead would have delivered Mu Shuiqing to Marquis Moyu’s bed sooner or later.

However, old madame wasn’t happy. Since she had come back, her son hadn’t sent for Sangyu even once. Other than tonight, he had been staying at Qiangwei Courtyard every night.

And so, on the next day, Marquis Moyu was summoned by old madame.

“It’s time for you to consider heirs.” Old madame said, “The sons in

in other families have already given their mothers grandchildren. Why is it only you that’s not wiling to spare your mother from worrying?”

Marquis Moyu lightly smiled, “Mother, don’t be anxious. This son is just hoping to give you a grandchild that’s born from the wife. This son will do his best.”
