Chapter: 103 out of 513 - Who does your heart desire? (2)
Ji Man leaned against the window frame and suddenly yawned. Looking at the absolutely empty room, she finally remembered that Ning Yuxuan had gone out today. This was good too. It would save her from feeling annoyed when she saw him.
As for last night's matter, she didn't take it too seriously. There were numerous couples that shared a bed with different agendas. Plus, this wasn't her body either, so there was no reason for her to be overly concerned. If she became pregnant, it would be the best outcome. Nie Sangyu would probably like this child. If she didn't… then, she'll treat this experience as being bitten by a dog.
Estimating the time by looking at the sky, Ji Man dragged her body towards the kitchen to prepare lunch. It was about time for them to return. Right after she finished cooking, she heard a servant rus.h.i.+ng over here in panic.
After not being able to find anyone in the common areas of the residence, the servant ran to the kitchen and shouted, ”Madam Ning, Madam Ning, Young Master Ning has been injured. Hurry and come with me to look, ah!”
Ning Yuxuan was injured? Ji Man raised her eyebrows. Didn't he say that he knew martial arts? Why did he still get injured? Ji Man wiped her hands, walked out of the kitchen, and asked, ”Is his injury from spraining his ankle or waist?”
This person was the original household's servant. The servant blankly looked at Nie Sangyu for a while before finally saying, ”They encountered a.s.sa.s.sins outside. Sir Ning was injured because he was protecting the third prince. He's currently getting his injury bandaged in Li Province's Wanjing Hall.”
This servant had just come here to bring this message. Although this servant was saying that Sir Ning had been injured, he didn't actually know who ”Sir Ning” was.
a.s.sa.s.sins? Ji Man raised her eyebrows. This was truly worth a visit to see for herself.
After changing her clothes, Ji Man hastily went to Wanjing Hall in a palanquin.
----
Ning Yuxuan and the two princes were all sitting by a pile of herbs. When they looked outside, they happened to see Nie Sangyu getting off a palanquin and unhurriedly walking over here.
”My lord?” Seeing Marquis Moyu, who was sitting near the doorway, looking completely unharmed, Ji Man curiously asked, ”Didn't you have an encounter with a.s.sa.s.sins, and was seriously injured?”
The corners of Ning Yuxuan's mouth twitched. He pointed at the nearby Ning Mingjie. ”Mingjie was the one that was injured. Why do you look like you were hoping that I was the one injured?”
Eh? Ning Mingjie was injured? Ji Man hurriedly lifted her skirt and went inside to look. Ning Mingjie was still wearing his mask while half of his clothes had been taken off in order to treat the wound on shoulder blade.
Seeing that Nie Sangyu had come, he coolly turned his head away.
He couldn't possibly still be mad over what happened last time, right? Ji Man thought that he probably wasn't such a petty person. She glanced at the wound. It looked rather serious. It was bleeding through several layers of bandages.
However, in the end, he wasn't properly dressed, so she retreated to Marquis Moyu's side after one glance and said, ”A servant came by and said Sir Ning was attacked by a.s.sa.s.sins. He probably mixed up who was injured.”
Ning Yuxuan was feeling very aggravated. ”Did you walk so slowly because you thought I was the one who was injured?”
As soon as she heard it was Ning Mingjie, she had hastily lifted up her skirt and came into the room.
