Chapter: 079 out of 513 – Hidden danger is lurking everywhere (2)

Ji Man was currently in the kitchen watching over old madame’s bird’s nest soup as it cooked . Her back was rigid because there was a man standing somewhat close behind her .

Zhao Zhe was leaning against the doorway and he curiously asked, “Why did you personally come here to perform this manual labor?”

Ji Man rolled her eyes . She felt that the politer she was towards this type of man, the more he would take advantage of this . And so, her tone wasn’t very pleasant when she said, “To respond to Your Highness, Sangyu is just a servant . It’s only right that Sangyu does this type of work . But Your Highness, you’re a crown prince . This type of place is rather mismatched with your status . ”

Zhao Zhe raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “I only came here to see you . ”

His tone was ambiguous . He was a person experienced with the affairs of the heart .

Ji Man curved her lips, turned around, and said, “This servant didn’t know that the crown prince was interested in fallen women like myself . ”

Zhao Zhe was choked off by her words . He rubbed his nose and said, “This is the first time a woman has scolded me like this . ”

“This is the truth . Sangyu is the Marquis Moyu’s person . My body, heart, and even

my eyes all belong to him . Towards other people, Sangyu is just an abandoned, withered woman . It’s only for the marquis that Sangyu is a complete woman . ” Ji Man raised her head and used a firm tone in an attempt to tell him that she was absolutely serious .

The person at the doorway was silent for a long time . He put away a good portion of his joking and halfhearted att.i.tude . His eyes were deep as he looked at her and said, “I’m close friends with Yuxuan . In all our years of friends.h.i.+p, I’ve only heard bad things about you from him . He said you were unruly, overbearing, and didn’t understand the established rules . Originally, I just wanted to tease you for a little bit . But now, I kind of want to be serious . ”

The corners of Ji Man’s mouth twitched . Did he think she would believe that this overbearing prince had fallen in love with her? Would he become interested in her just because she showed a little bit moral integrity? Were his next words going to be, “You succeeded in attracting my attention, little demoness . ”

He might as well have spared himself this effort .

“I’ve never seen a woman that was so deeply in love . I’m more powerful than Marquis Moyu . If you follow me, you might become a woman in the imperial harem in the future .

I didn’t expect you would say words like that . ” The crown prince crossed his arms and smiled . “It seems that Yuxuan doesn’t know how to cherish you . ”

“Your Highness, you’re such a jokester . ” Ji Man saw that bird’s nest soup in the pot was almost done and went to extinguish the fire in the stove . “Don’t forget . Although Sangyu is only the marquis’s concubine, Sangyu is also Nie Clan’s daughter from a main wife and n.o.ble Consort Nie’s niece . ”

The crown prince wanted her? What a joke . Did he think that if he teased her like this, her heart would start beating quickly, her face would turn red, and she would be unable to control her emotions? It didn’t even need to be said that the empress and n.o.ble Consort Nie’s relations.h.i.+p was like fire and water . Just on the mere basis of Marquis Moyu and the crown prince’s relations.h.i.+p, the crown prince wouldn’t touch her unless he wanted to sever ties with his indispensable a.s.sistant .

Zhao Zhe loudly laughed . As he looked at Nie Sangyu, his eyes showed appreciation . “Ning Yuxuan has really overlooked a pearl . ”
