Chapter: 075 out of 513 – An intense war between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law (2)

Behind them, Ning Yuxan wanted to chase after old madame, but Wen Wan grabbed his sleeve .

Wen Wan looked at him with red eyes as she asked, “Are you always going to choose your mother over me?”

Ning Yuxuan’s eyebrows were tightly creased . He angrily said, “Why are you deliberately stirring up trouble? I’m already taking your side . And yet, you’re still saying words like these . ”

Wen Wan wanted to continue to fuss, but she remembered Qi Siling's words . She should quit while she was ahead . She hurriedly controlled her anger, tugged at Marquis Moyu’s sleeve, and quietly said, “I know you’re doing this for my benefit and I also know that you love me . I was just temporarily feeling too agitated and couldn’t help blurting out my grievances . She’s already said those type of words about me…”

“Wen Wan . ” Ning Yuxuan removed her hand from his sleeve and said, “You need to become more sensible . ”

Stunned by these words, Wen Wan blankly moved her hand back to her side . She watched as Ning Yuxuan ran after old madame . She bit her bottom lip . Her eyes were full of unwillingness .

Actually, if that old woman went away, her life would become much better .

At some point, Ning Mingjie had also left without notice . Wen Wan stood in place for a while before turning around and going to Qiangwei Courtyard . She ordered Tanxiang to bring Qi Siling over here .

Ning Yuxuan was kneeling outside in the main courtyard, but old madame was calmly commanding Shouqu, Danggui, and Nie Sangyu to pack up their luggage .

Ji Man was slightly worried, so she asked, “Old Madame, are we really going to the palace? Wouldn’t that be a bit inappropriate?”

Old madame was very calm as she sat in her chair . She lightly smiled and said, “Do you think I’m doing this out of impulse?”

Wasn’t she? She was a stately, first-rank lady . If the news that she had been forced to move into the palace was spread, it would sound really bad, ah . Although this is what Ji Man thought, she didn’t voice her thoughts .

Old madame sent the servant girls outside and whispered into Ji Man’s ear, “Yesterday, n.o.ble Consort Nie sent me a secret letter . She said she’s pregnant, but she doesn’t dare to make this information public . She wants me to go to the palace and keep her company . The empress doesn’t want her to have another child, so her baby definitely has to remain a secret until her pregnancy has reached three months and it’s condition becomes stabilized . She doesn’t have any person that she trusts in the palace, so she asked me to keep her company . ”

Ji Man was shocked . n.o.ble Consort Nie was pregnant? She was almost forty years old . Even though the third prince had no interest towards politics, the emperor was still very fond of him . If n.o.ble Consort Nie gave birth to another prince, wouldn’t the empress’s feeling of impending crisis become more serious?

“Originally, I was only planning on keeping her company for two days and leave Shouwu and Dangui there to serve her, so that she’ll feel more at ease . ” Old Madame’s expression sunk . “But Wen Wan has acted too outrageously . She even dares to try to bully me . We’ll stay in the palace for a few extra days, so that she’ll knows my power . ”

“Originally, I was only planning on keeping her company for two days and leave Shouwu and Dangui there to serve her, so that she’ll feel more at ease . ” Old Madame’s expression sunk . “But Wen Wan has acted too outrageously . She even dares to try to bully me . We’ll stay in the palace for a few extra days, so that she’ll knows my power . ”

If old madame used this opportunity to stay in the palace longer, it would be the equivalent of giving Wen Wan the reputation of an unfilial person . In the end, she would have to humbly request for old madame to return . As for whether or not old madame would be willing to easily come back, that was another matter .

Ji Man thought; as expected, old ginger was spicier .

“Old Madame, it’s snowing again . The marquis is still kneeling here . ” Shouwu couldn’t resist shouting from outside .

Old madame felt distraught about her son, but she couldn’t take a step forward . If she forgave him, wouldn’t that be the same thing as forgiving Wen Wan? There was no way she would do that .
