Chapter 60 (2/2)

This… There was only one servant girl, Tanxiang, next to them. What was Wen Wan thinking?

Ji Man retracted her head and crouched down to look at the potted poinsettia in front of her. She silently contemplated that she had only come here to pick flowers and hadn’t meant to eavesdrop. They were the ones that were behaving too brazenly. She couldn’t be blamed.

As far as she knew, Ning Yuxuan wasn’t a generous and tolerant man. He especially didn’t like other people touching his stuff. Moreover, Wen Wan was his darling. If the female lead was thinking of using a man to provoke Ning Yuxuan, it probably wouldn’t be effective and was

and was more likely to be counterproductive.

After listening to them for two hours as they played Chinese chess without mentioned anything related to her again, Ji Man rubbed her sore legs and sneakily returned to her room.

Later that day, she was at old madame’s place for dinner. Ning Yuxuan and Wen Wan were also there. Wen Wan was still showing a pure and harmless smile, but Marquis Moyu’s expression had blackened. He was probably in a bad mood because he knew what Wen Wan had done.

Ji Man happily watched the show. While she picked out all of the shredded meat in the dish in front of her, she secretly watched the interactions between them.

The female lead absolutely had no intention of paying attention to the male lead, but she said a few sentences to Ning Mingjie. Old madame was still at the table. Wasn’t this behavior simply seeking death?

Old madame didn’t like Wen Wan to begin with. Seeing her son grimace with displeasure, her att.i.tude towards Wen Wan only worsened.

Old madame put down her chopsticks and looked at Marquis Moyu as she said, “Shuiqing is almost three months pregnant. Since the main wife hasn’t give birth to a child, it would still be good if the concubines gave birth to children. This way, I can have grandchildren to hug. If Shuiqing gives birth to a boy this time, I think you should promote her to an honored concubine. After all,

concubine. After all, the most unfilial act is being unable to produce offspring.”

Wen Wan’s face paled. Her recent smile completely disappeared without leaving a trace. She turned her head to look at old madame and initially wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words and lowered her head to continue eating.

Instead of disagreeing, Marquis Moyu indifferently responded, “En.”

Wen Wan’s expression became worse.

After dinner, old madame pulled Sangyu to her side. She wanted to speak with her.

But, Marquis Moyu surprisingly said, “I haven’t finished listening to Sangyu’s stories. Mother, give in to your son this time and let your son have her.”

This was the first time that Ning Yuxuan acted close to Nie Sangyu in front of other people. Even Ji Man froze in surprise. But, when she turned her eyes and saw Wen Wan’s expression, she understood. This sc.u.mbag was just using her as cannon fodder. The role of the supporting male and female characters were the same. They were both used to provoke the male lead and female lead.

She was somewhat unhappy being used like this. And, her mood worsened when she thought about having to tell him stories again. Ji Man was smiling as she made a sound of agreement in front of Marquis Moyu, but her brows pinched together after she turned her head.

Wen Wan was seeking death by acting reckless, but there was no need to drag her into this mess. She was innocent.
