Chapter 41

Chapter: 041 out of 513 – A small-minded and shortsighted female lead (2)

Wen Wan was a small-minded and shortsighted female lead. In the original novel, after she had vented her feelings like this a few times, the marquis had dismissed all of the concubines in the household and they reached their perfect ending. They were like an inseparable pair of birds that flew together and stayed together.

Ji Man couldn’t help thinking that the original novel was written by a brain-dead person. True love was one thing. Living one’s life was another matter. How deep would a love have to be to last for an entire lifetime? At the most, the sweetness of love would last for a few years. The remaining years would depend on the couple’s ability to get along with each other. Wen Wan was the type of a woman that could only last during the honeymoon period. She absolutely wasn’t someone that you could spend the rest of your life with.

Marquis Moyu decided to take a walk around the residence. As he walked, he tried to think of ways that would make Wen Wan’s life better. Just after he left Qiangwei Courtyard and pa.s.sed through a shady spot under the trees, he saw Nie Sangyu sitting in a pavilion. There were two cups of tea on the pavilion’s table.

“My lord.” Ji Man looked at him with a smile. “If there’s something that's troubling you, how about saying it out loud? Perhaps, this

servant will have a way to help you.”

Ning Yuxuan slightly raised an eyebrow and aimlessly walked over. “How did you know that I was going to leave Qiangwei Courtyard?”

Ji Man lowered her eyes. “This servant just came here to drink tea.”

“You’re using two cups to drink tea by yourself?”

“…” Ji Man cleared her throat. “My lord, you’re a clever person and this servant isn’t too stupid. Madam found out that Master Qing is pregnant today, so it’s only inevitable that she would be feeling uncomfortable and the marquis wouldn’t linger in Qiangwei Courtyard. And so, this servant came here to try my luck.”

Marquis Moyu profoundly looked at her for a moment, then he sat down to left of her. “What’s your idea?”

Wen Wan was angry with him. But as the main wife, she should be happy for him when she found out that he would have soon have a descendent. And so, Ning Yuxuan didn’t know how to persuade her. But at the same time, he truly loved her, so he wasn’t willing to blame her.

Ji Man lightly smiled, “Madam has always been wanting to have a baby. But in the end, someone else had a child before her. No matter what, it was only expected that she would become angry. My lord, why don’t you clear things up by directly saying that after Master Qing gives birth, the child will be given to Madam to raise, regardless if it’s a boy or girl. This way

way Madam will feel better.”

It was a common occurrence for the main wife to raise the oldest child, even if the child wasn’t her own. Marquis Moyu sighed and said, “I had also thought about this method. But, with Wen Wan’s temperament, I can’t say for sure that she’ll feel happier if I tell her this.”

“She’s a woman. As long you spend more time coaxing her, it’ll be fine.” Ji Man said, “Madam is definitely afraid that if someone else becomes pregnant, the other woman will steal away your heart. My lord, if you spend time with her every day and don’t look at Master Qing, Madam will naturally understand your feelings.”

Marquis Moyu raised his head and chuckled, “Are you still bearing a grudge against Qing-er for pus.h.i.+ng you into the pond?”
