Chapter 123 (2/2)
(T/N: Zhiqiu means awareness of autumn.)
Was this a habitable place? Outraged, she turned around and went to the study to look for Marquis Moyu. This madam was too harsh and kept targeting her. How could she live her life like this?

Ning Yuxuan was currently organizing official correspondences and suddenly heard someone angrily slamming the doors open. With a persecuted expression, Jinse came over and started crying after falling into his arms.
Without making a sound, he moved the doc.u.ments to the side and lightly asked, ”What's wrong? Are you feeling homesick?”
”My lord, Madam's bullying is too much.” With a runny nose and teary eyes, Jinse started to speak of Wen Wan's wrongdoings.
Hearing these words, Ning Yuxuan slightly frowned. He moved her off of his lap, stood up, and said, ”I spoiled her too much. It's inevitable that she acts improperly sometimes. Go to Sangyu and have her arrange a place for you. I'll go talk to Madam.”
Seeing that he was obviously favoring Wen Wan, Jinse dimmed the sound of her crying. She was used to persuading and fawning over other people, so she wouldn't behave unyieldingly when face with a difficult person. Moreover, she could see that Madam had a hefty place in the marquis's heart.
Since she couldn't afford to anger Madam, then her only choice was to avoid her. Jinse went to look for Nie Sangyu.

At Qiangwei Courtyard, Wen Wan had smashed a whole pile of things. Her anger hadn't dissipated yet. Tanxiang hurriedly came into the room to announce that the marquis was coming and had the other servants clean up the mess on the floor to avoid displeasing the marquis.
Seeing the person coming into the room, Wen Wan harrumped and turned her head to look out the window. She didn't have the slightest intention of talking to him.
With a soft tone, Marquis Moyu asked, ”What's wrong? Are you not happy that I came back? Your expression hasn't look good since I returned home.”
Wen Wan thought; Sangyu's words had been correct. When she showed a cold face, he would come and coax her.
And so, she said, ”You've been gone for so long, but you haven't thought about me. And, you even brought back a woman to upset me. How can I be happy?”
Marquis Moyu chuckled and hugged her. ”Is this another outbreak of pettiness?”
Wen Wan angrly said, ”Who's being petty? You used to say that you would only like me. But now, you made other women pregnant, one after another. Yuxuan, you've let met down too much. If I had known that it would turn out like this, I would have married the man that my father had chosen!”
Before Wen Wan had married Marquis Moyu, she had been engaged to someone else. Marquis Moyu had always brooded over this matter. When women were arguing and feeling angry, they would always say whatever men didn't want to hear the most.
But, Ning Yuxuan treated these words seriously and felt offended. His expression turned icy. He looked at her and asked, ”Are you saying that you regret marrying me?”
