Chapter: 074 out of 513 – An intense war between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (1)
There was a slight sulkiness in Ning Yuxuan’s heart, but he couldn’t show this feeling .
Hearing these words, Mu Shuiqing quietly laughed and said, “My lord, if you’re missing Madam this much, why did you still come to Qing-er’s place?”
Marquis Moyu lightly smiled, “Is Qing-er jealous?”
“Qing-er wouldn’t dare . ” Mu Shuiqing’s face had a warm, motherly radiance . With her hands covering a belly that hadn’t protruded out yet, she said, “Qing-er has accepted the unpleasant truth . The marquis’s heart only has Madam . As long as my lord is willing to occasionally come see Qing-er, Qing-er will be very happy . ”
Ning Yuxuan’s smile slightly dimmed . He lowered his eyes and started to reflect upon his past actions . Had he been spoiling Wen Wan too much? The entire household knew his heart was with her . This must be why she was increasingly behaving without the slightest scruple .
To be honest, Wen Wan wasn’t a woman that could peacefully stay at home . But, he had fallen in love with her . No matter how badly she acted, he was still willing to show tolerance and forgive her .
Two days later, Ji Man finally completely recovered from her cold . Qian Lianxue and Qi Siling had sent over mushrooms and ocean delicacies as a token effort, along with a message that she should properly take care of her health .
Old madame also summoned her to her place and asked with a beaming smile, “Have you been enjoying the past two days of living with Xuan-er?”

Ji Man smiled and said, “This servant fondly remembers in her heart the care that the marquis had shown towards this servant . ”
Old madame repeatedly nodded . “Your current humble and patient temperament is very good . As time goes on, Xuan-er will naturally understand who’s the best . ”
Ji Man nodded in agreement . She kept old madame company as they ate quite a bit of pastries . Worried that old madame would feel indigestion from overeating, she suggested that they go to the garden to stroll around . She supported her as they walked there .
In the original novel, the garden was worthy of being called the place where most incidents happened . Ji Man and old madame hadn’t even taken two steps into the garden when they met Ning Yuxuan . After Ning Yuxuan paid his respects to old madame, he accompanied them around the garden with a heavy load on his mind .
Old madame asked him questions related to the Six Ministries and he answered each question one by one, but his eyes continued to blankly stare at the ground .
Ji Man’s intuition told her that he was preoccupied with his feelings . Recently, he and Wen Wan were in a cold war . He was definitely at the tipping point where he couldn’t bear it anymore and was about to surrender .

After they pa.s.sed through a covered corridor, the pavilion was straight ahead . There were two people siting in the pavilion with two servants standing nearby .
“Who are those two people? What are they doing?” Old madame asked after seeing those people from a distance .
Shouwu briskly walked forward to see, then she came back and said, “The marquis’s cousin is playing Chinese chess with Madam . ”
Ning Yuxuan’s expression sunk . Old Madame’s frown was even more severe than his . She angrily shouted, “Preposterous! Is there no sense of propriety?!”
Ji Man was startled by old madame’s sudden anger . The two people in the pavilion had also clearly heard her voice and hurriedly came over here to greet her .
“Old Madame . ” Wen Wan saluted with an innocent face, but old madame only coldly harrumphed and didn’t look at her .
