Chapter 83 (2/2)
“Other than her, who else could it be?” Ji Man angrily said . “We had agreed upon a sixty and forty percent split . But now that she has money, she won’t acknowledge our agreement . She gave me five hundred silver taels and said she had purchased the copyright for the cold cream . She taking my ideas and going to do business for herself . ”
“How could she do something like that?” Muxu widened her eyes . “Miss Shui seems like a decent person . ”
Ji Man shook her head and sighed . “You can known a person for a long time without understanding her true nature, ah . I put the banknotes in bottommost drawer in the wardrobe . I’ll leave it alone and use it to support myself in old age . ”
“Understood . ” Muxu lowered her eyes . There was a struggle in her eyes .
The pair of master and servant stayed silent for a long time .
time . Muxu couldn’t resist asking, “Master, aren't you going to sue her? Wasn’t there a contract?”
Ji Man shook her head and said, “It won’t be good for me to make this matter public . If the marquis and Old Madame found out that I was the one behind the cold cream, there’ll definitely be unpleasant consequences . ”
Muxu nodded and dazedly stood at the side in silence .
Ji Man lowered her head and drank tea with saying another word .
On the very same night, Qi Siling said a thief had entered her courtyard . She was fine, but she had lost a hundred silver taels of personal money .
Noise clamored throughout the marquis residence immediately, even the guests in the southern courtyard were affected . Full of curiosity, Ning Errong ran over to Nie Sangyu’s room to join in the fuss . “The honored concubines in your family are really rich . She's actually saved a hundred silver taels . ”
Ji Man was currently facing her mirror and grooming herself . When she heard these words, she chuckled and said, “She’s a person that once managed the inner courts . It would be strange if she didn’t have any foundation . There’ll probably be people coming over here to search my room later . You don’t have to go anywhere else to watch drama . My place will be the most exciting . ”
Ning Errong didn’t understand the meaning of her words . But, a short while later, she saw Qi Siling and Marquis Moyu come to Feiwan Courtyard’s entrance,
Feiwan Courtyard’s entrance, along with a group of servants .
“Check this place too . ” Ning Yuxuan saw Nie Sangyu as soon as he entered the room . She even turned her head to look at him . Her face seemed even more beautiful now compared to when he saw her a few days ago . His heart would start to beat faster if he looked at her for a little bit longer .
Marquis Moyu faintly looked away and gestured at the servants .
Qi Siling entered the room and warmly held Nie Sangyu’s hand . “Older sister, we’ll have to bother you . The marquis and I even searched Qiangwei Courtyard recently . There shouldn’t be a problem here, right?”
Ji Man’s smile was proper and relaxed . “Younger sister, feel free to search anywhere . ”
Qi Siling nodded . She turned around and saw a few servant girls coming inside . They opened Nie Sangyu’s wardrobe . A few of the servants also barged into Muxu’s room . After rummaging through, one of them yelled out, “Found it . ”
A lot of Nie Sangyu’s clothes had been thrown out of the wardrobe in their search, but the servant girls came up empty-handed . With red faces, they stood up and said, “There’s nothing here . ”
Qi Siling looked at Marquis Moyu . A few of the servants had seized Muxu and brought her into Nie Sangyu’s room . Just as they placed the bag down and was about to open it, they heard Nie Sangyu call out, “Wait . ”
Chapter 083 out of 513 Vigilance must be maintained to avoid being harmed 2 Master, we purchased the cold cream . The two young servant girls had returned . These two fresh fourteen to fifteen year olds were the lowest ranking servants girls . One was called Dengxin and the other was called Gancao . Muxu was normally the only one that entered her room, so Ji Man hadn t paid special attention to these young servant girls . Now, she carefully looked at them . Dengxin had clear eyes and seemed energetic . Gancao was quiet, sensible, and knowledgeable about etiquette . They would be good, young successors to Muxu . En . Ji Man smiled . Go see if your Aunt Muxu has woken up yet . She suffered from a fright because of me . T N Just to be clear, these two girls aren t related to Muxu . Calling Muxu their Aunt is just showing that she s higher than them in hierarchy . Just like how Wen Wan calls Nie Sangyu her younger sister . There were five boxes of cold cream in total . Ji Man sent over a large box and two small boxes of cold cream to old madame s courtyard . As for the remaining two boxes, she sent one box each to Wen Wan and Qian Lianxue . Originally, since there was cold cream that could be purchased by anyone now, it wouldn t be necessary for her to do this good act . However, she had ordered Miss Shui to not sell any cold cream to the marquis s household unless it was her servant girls that were asking . She had initially planned on always doing this as a way to curry favor . However, she knew that it wouldn t be possible to continue . She had to end this before the bomb exploded . When Muxu woke up, she leaned against her bed and gasped for a while . She saw that there were two lowest ranking servant girls and Doctor Li in the room . Her master was the only one missing . Her heart clenched . She staggered out of bed and opened her wardrobe to look . The bag was in its original position and there weren t any traces of it being rummaged through . Did master give any orders Muxu turned her head to ask the people in the room . The two young servants girls and Doctor Li shook their heads . Mistress Sang said she frightened you . She was worried, so she had me stay here . Doctor Li picked up his medicine box and said, You fainted because you were too scared . There s nothing else that s wrong . You re fine after taking that short nap . Muxu relaxed . She straightened her clothes for a moment, then she sent Doctor Li away and went to look for Nie Sangyu . Seeing Muxu come inside, Ji Man only asked, You woke up There was a slight amount of distress in her expression . Muxu s heart rose up in fear again . She walked to her side and asked, Master, why are you so dispirited Ji Man s head was resting on the table and her tone was extremely dejected as she said, Ai, I believed in the wrong person . Muxu s knees felt weak . She was almost about to kneel down . Her face was also becoming increasingly pale . I treated Miss Shui so well . Why did she see profit and forget her morality She abandoned me in spite of my care . Ji Man quietly said . Miss Shui Muxu paused . She stammered out a few words, Why is it her Other than her, who else could it be Ji Man angrily said . We had agreed upon a sixty and forty percent split . But now that she has money, she won t acknowledge our agreement . She gave me five hundred silver taels and said she had purchased the copyright for the cold cream .
