Chapter: 137 out of 513 – Nie Sangyu’s original time of death (2)
As soon as Wen Wan saw that old madame had come inside, she put on a show of struggling to get up . She thought that Yuxuan would stop her, but he didn’t . So, she could only brace herself as she got off the bed and saluted old madame .
Since Wen Wan was pregnant and also the secondary wife, there was no reasonable excuse old madame could use to give Wen Wan a hard time . She let Wen Wan lie back down on the bed and started asking the doctor about Wen Wan’s situation .
The doctor confirmed that the baby had been conceived before the Southern Trip, so it was almost certainly Ning Yuxuan’s baby .
Old madame sighed, ordered the servant to take good care of Wen Wan, and cast a meaningful glance at Nie Sangyu to indicate for her to come along . She would admonish her in private .
Officially, Wen Wan still had the position of the main wife . If Wen Wan reversed her fortune now, it would be difficult to find another opportunity for Nie Sangyu to take back the position of the main wife later on .
Ji Man felt that as long as she still had her life, everything was still okay . This incident had been Nie Sangyu’s fated calamity in the original novel . As long as she safely pa.s.sed this period, it could still be considered a good thing .
And so, she raised her foot and prepared to follow after old madame .
“Sangyu,” Ning Yuxuan quietly spoke . His voice sounded very gentle .
Ji Man curiously turned her head around to look at him .
Marquis Moyu faintly smiled and said, “I spent last night talking with the crown prince, but I’m having a hard time falling asleep . You’re pretty good at ma.s.saging . Would you be willing to attend to me so I can sleep for a bit?”
Old madame paused . Her son actually wanted his wife . This old lady naturally couldn’t steal his wife from him, so she simply waved Nie Sangyu to let her go .
Ji Man thought something was off . Right now was Wen Wan’s most needy time . Why would Marquis Moyu be going over to her place instead of staying here with Wen Wan?
Ji Man glanced at Wen Wan . As expected, her expression was ugly .
After Ji Man nodded her head in agreement, Ning Yuxuan said a few comforting sentences to Wen Wan, then he left the room with her .
After sending away the servants, the two of them walk on a path with bordering blooming spring flowers, with one person following after the other .
Ji Man couldn’t figure what Ning Yuxuan was planning, so she silently followed after him like a small tail .
After they had walked for a while, he suddenly said, “You can’t do anything to Wen Wan’s baby . ”
He turned his head and somewhat gently looked at her as he asked, “Can you promise me this?”
Beauty trap? The corners of Ji Man’s lips twitched . Was there any point in him asking this question? Of course, she would say yes . Otherwise, she would be giving him an excuse to drag her out to be beaten for no good reason at all .

“My lord, you don’t need to worry . ”
Ning Yuxuan nodded . He stretched his hand out and pulled her closer to walk by his side .
Marquis Moyu's voice was exceptionally light as he said into her ear, “Last night, I drank a lot with the crown prince . He was completely drunk, but I was still sober . At the end of the night, he said something about you . ”
Shocked, Ji Man raised her head to look at him .
“The crown prince said that if he became the emperor, he would find a woman as clever as you to be his empress . ” Ning Yuxuan’s voice was very light as his slender fingers caressed her face . “You’re certainly very skillful . ”
