Chapter: 089 out of 513 – Matchmaking isn’t easy (2)

Nie Residence was very large and magnificent, but it was slightly off from the established customs of how the buildings should be arranged . However, the emperor had bestowed this residence, so no one could say anything . Ji Man looked around and discovered that the pavilions and other buildings were built irregularly . Underneath the covered corridors, there was a green pool . After they pa.s.sed through pool area, they arrived at the southern courtyard . When servant girls pa.s.sed by them, they would curtsey at them before walking forward .

Nie Clan’s level of prosperousness inexplicably made Ji Man think of the residence in Dream of the Red Chamber and she was absent-minded for a brief period .

Seeing that she wasn’t speaking, Nie Qingyun thought she was feeling unhappy . And so, he explained, “Chenyu and Youran are both attending embroidery cla.s.s right now, that’s why they’re not here to welcome you . The honored concubines are waiting for you in the main courtyard with mother . ”

Ji Man returned to her senses and somewhat nervously said, “Sangyu is a junior . There’s no need for them to wait for me, right?”

Why did she keep feeling that the people in this household didn’t have friendly feelings towards her? Hearing that a group of women were waiting for her up ahead, Ji Man felt even more nervous .

“You're Marquis Moyu’s secondary wife .  It’s only right that they’re waiting for

you . ”

Marquis Moyu was a first-rank official and managed the six ministries . Even Nie Xiangyuan had to salute him when he saw him . When Ji Man had originally read the light novel, she thought he was a leisurely marquis . Unexpectedly, his position was this powerful .

Nie Xiangyuan’s current main wife was Chen Suqing . Technically, she was also Nie Sangyu’s maternal aunt . However, she had never liked Nie Sangyu . The strange thing was that Nie Qingyun was especially fond and caring of his half-sister .

And so, Ji Man wasn’t sure . Exactly, what was Nie Sangyu’s position in Nie Clan?

After entering the main room, there was a row of honored concubines sitting in the top seats . In the center of the row, there was a graceful and luxuriously dressed woman . She smiled and said, “So, you’ve come back . ”

Ji Man stood still . She didn’t know if she should salute them or do something else . She was only sure that the woman in the center was Chen Suqing, but she had no idea about the names of the other women .

There was a trace of annoyance in Chen Suqing’s eyes . She clutched her handkerchief and looked at Nie Sangyu for a while before finally saying, “As expected, people change when they marry well . Are you not even going to salute your mother after coming back?”

Ji Man froze for a moment, then she kneeled

kneeled down in front of her . “Daughter Sangyu respectfully greets mother . ”
