After paying respects to old madame, Ji Man met Mu Shuiqing on her way out.

Mu Shuiqing walked to her side and profoundly looked at her as she said, ”This servant never thought you would have a day like this.”

No one had thought that Nie Sangyu would regain her original position. It was only to be expected that Mu Shuqing would be surprised.

Ji Man smiled and said, ”The days are long. Who can predict the future?”

Mu Shuiqing chuckled. The s.p.a.ce between her eyebrows had softened considerably. With her hand held protectively over her slightly protruding belly, she said, ”Right now, I don't want anything else. I just want to peacefully give birth to my child.”

Ji Man nodded. ”You've become much better with behaving yourself. You won't have the same outcome as Jinse. Don't worry, just focus on taking care of your health and baby.”

Unexpectedly, Mu Shuqing whispered unfathomable words next, ”This servant isn't walking on the same path as her, so naturally this servant won't have the same ending as her. Madam, you don't need to worry.”

Ji Man was bewildered. Why would Mu Shuqing and Jinse be walking on the different paths? Weren't they both loyal to the crown prince?

Errong had prepared a table full of tasty food and invited Nie Qingyun over. She also dragged Ning Mingjie and Nie Sangyu over to accompany them.

She happily said, ”Let's celebrate Sangyu's change in fortune. This is the food I personally prepared. Don't look down on my cooking.”

There were several dishes on the table. They all looked pretty good. Ji Man was slightly surprised. They had only come back a couple of days. When had Errong learned how to cook a full meal?

After tasting a bite of food, Ji Man couldn't resist nodding her head. The young girl had a bright future. She had learned quickly and the food tasted pretty good.

Ning Mingjie chuckled and said, ”It seems like you prepared this meal for your upcoming marriage. You'll be getting married to Qingyun in only four days. According to the rules, shouldn't you be waiting until then to see him?”

Ning Errong blushed. She glanced at Nie Qingyun before smiling and saying, ”I'm already familiar with him. It's not like this is an arranged marriage. It fine if we wait until tomorrow to stop seeing each other. Let's not focus on the minor details. Just treat today as a celebration for Sangyu.”

Ning Qingyun nodded. ”If Sangyu is happy, then I can marry without worries. Brother Mingjie, you'll be the only one left here after Errong marries into Nie Clan. Please help me take care of Sangyu.”

Ji Man's lips twitched. ”Older brother, I can take care of myself.”

Ning Mingjie was also at a marriageable age. In a few months, he should be discussing his marriage prospects too. Although he was a pretty good person, Ji Man still had to consider the issue of avoiding suspicion.

Ning Qingun chuckled. ”If you can take care of yourself, then I wouldn't have to worry.”
