Chapter: 051 out of 513 – Can the world have two people that look exactly the same? (2)

After Ji Man took a bath, she went to sleep. However, she hadn’t been sleeping for long before Wen Wan’s personal servant girl, Tanxiang, actually came here to pa.s.s on a message, “Mistress Sang, Madam said that you’re the most familiar with Miss Errong’s likes and dislikes. Please come with me to the southern courtyard.”

Wen Wan was currently expending a great deal of effort and trouble to complete the task that old madam had given her. Ji Man agitatedly rolled over in bed. People that didn’t get enough sleep were very irritable. She really didn’t want to go!

But, she didn’t have a choice. The other person was the main wife. As a concubine, she could only accept Wen Wan’s order with a happy face. After changing her clothes, she headed towards the southern courtyard.

Ning Errong’s likes and dislikes? Ji Man didn’t even have to think about it. Standing in the southern courtyard, she said, “Change it to Louhan silk, spread out a Persian carpet, and just decorate this place with luxurious items.”

(T/N: Louhan is ancient kingdom based around an important oasis city along the Silk Road.)

Put into a difficult position by Nie Sangyu’s words, Sterward Qian looked at the budget and hesitated again and again before he finally said, “I’ll go look for Madam and report this to her first.”

Ji Man originally stood at the side of the southern courtyard to wait, but she really couldn’t keep her eyelids open. So, she called out to Muxu, “Let’s go sit at the swing below that grape trellis over there.”

Looking that the dark circles

under her master’s eyes, Muxu knew that her master hadn’t slept well last night. But, she kept quiet and only ambiguously smiled her as she helped walk over there.

“Don’t let the swing move. Just let me sit here and take a nap. If there’s nothing important, don’t wake me up. Try to deal with the problem by yourself first.” After Ji Man said this, she sat down on the swing, held onto the swing’s ropes, closed her eyes, and leaned against one side as she fell asleep.

Muxu sighed. Her master’s life wasn’t easy either, so she tried to allow her to sleep some more. When Aunty Zhao came by with some snacks and yelled out, “Master Sang”, while she was still far away, Muxu hurriedly ran over to her in small steps and pulled her farther away to speak.

Aunty Zhao saw that the other servants had been busy inside and outside of the residence and smiled as she asked, “Is Marquis Jingwen coming?”

“He’s coming here in two days.” Ning Yuxuan said, “Mingjie has been doing his work well. The emperor probably has the intention of returning him to the capital and promoting him to an official’s position. Mingjie unfortunately isn’t interested in officialdom. Otherwise, he would be a very good chess piece.”

The crown prince looked around before nodding and saying, “If he has the desire, I can help him. After all, he’s your cousin.”

Marquis Moyu nodded. Ning Mingjie would have a bright future even without his help. However, his other cousin, Ning Errong, had the same lack of moral integrity as Nie Sangyu and was very difficult to deal with. He still had to give his attention to

to figuring out her future. Just thinking about it made him feel tired.

Nearby him, the crown prince suddenly stopped walking.

“What’s wrong?” Ning Yuxuan turned around to look at him. Seeing the surprise and strange glimmer in the crown prince’s eyes, he curiously followed the direction of his gaze.

There was a beauty sleeping in the swing underneath the grape trellis. The bottom of her light purple dress was slightly swaying along with the swing. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, but her lips were so beautiful that it made a person want to impulsively go over there to kiss her. Her hands were loosely wrapped around the ropes as she innocently slept.

Marquis Moyu’s expression sunk. Was Nie Sangyu an idiot? Why was she sleeping outside?

The crown prince had already started walking over as he asked, “Who is she?”

Ning Yuxuan furrowed his brow, walked a few steps forward, and pretended that he was only accidentally blocking the crown’s prince’s view, “She’s Nie Sangyu.”
