Chapter 122 (2/2)

Feeling quite wronged, Wen Wan clutched her handkerchief. Could other people have been right? Were all men enamored with the new and bored with the old? Now that there was a new woman, was she going to be ignored like the other women?

While her heart was feeling bad, a nearby person suddenly supported her by the arm.

Ji Man faintly smiled and said, ”Madam, let's go inside.”

Qi Siling had originally wanted to support Wen Wan, but Nie Sangyu had stolen her position. But, she didn't care. The new woman was following etiquette and walking behind them. Qi Siling deliberately slowed her pace, so she could have the first opportunity to speak with Jinse.

”Madam, is there any need for you to feel so sad?” Ji Man saw that Wen Wan had only silently twitched her lips in response and was allowing her support her, so she quietly said, ”The marquis missed you this entire trip. He's only acting this way because he wants you to be more obedient.”

Wen Wan slightly frowned. She glanced at Nie Sangyu and said, ”How am I not obedient? If he wants me too meekly submit myself to being mistreated like you, I can't do it.”

”Acting obedient isn't the same as accepting mistreatment.” Ji Man looked at Marquis Moyu, who was still walking ahead of them by himself, and smiled. ”The marquis is using different methods to get the result that he wants. He switches between acting hot and cold in order to forge Madam into what he wants. If you don't believe this servant, then wait two days. If you don't lower your head by then, he won't be able to resist coming to you.”

This was truth. This truly was what Ning Yuxuan was thinking. He was using the same method as one would use to refine a sword; alternate between hot and cold and repeatedly grind until you obtained the form that you wanted.

This technique had been well-tested on Wen Wan. Every time she threw a tantrum, he would give her the cold shoulder for a few days. In the end, Wen Wan would take the initiative to come to him and her att.i.tude would lessen.

If Wen Wan didn't know Marquis Moyu's intentions, then the direction of their relations.h.i.+p would definitely follow Ning Yuxuan's desired course. Wen Wan would gradually become gentle and magnanimous. She would learn to tolerate and accept the other women. This could be considered Marquis Moyu's method in training his wife.

However, even if he had thought of a thousand possibilities, he wouldn't have expected that Ji Man would see through his plan. It was one thing for her to figure out his plan, but she had actually taken the step of telling Wen Wan the truth.

Wen Wan understood now. There was no point in her feeling sad and upset. Marquis Moyu had done this intentionally. Knowing his scheme and also knowing that he wouldn't abandon her because she had a place in his heart, Wen Wan felt much more confident.

”Thank you for pointing this out to me.” Wen Wan curved her lips. ”If he wants me to tolerate and accept this woman, I won't make it easy for him!”

Ji Man lowered her head. As expected, Wen Wan had been favored to the point that she was fearless. She had already given Wen Wan the information that she needed. If Wen Wan was clever, she would grasp Marquis Moyu's weak point and successfully reverse the situation. If she was stupid… then her future outlook was bleak.

She wasn't planning on harming Wen Wan. After all, Wen Wan was Marquis Moyu's beloved and also the great female lead. As for how the story would go, that would depend on Wen Wan's luck.
