Chapter: 139 out of 513 - A rapist in the middle of the night? (2)

Ning Yuxuan came to the confinement courtyard again that night. Just like last time, he smoothly climbed over the wall and made Muxu unconscious. Then, he came over to the bed, hugged her, and sighed.

”My lord, are you comfortable?” Ji Man mockingly asked.

Marquis Moyu curved his lips. ”Don't think of me as an inhuman person. I'll still feel bad because my child is gone.”

Ji Man couldn't tell if he was genuinely feeling bad at all. Her heart felt slightly chilled. This man was too terrifying.

Ning Yuxuan changed the topic. ”Errong didn't seem too happy today when she came back. I'll let her see you tomorrow.”

Ji Man paused. Errong wasn't happy? Shouldn't things be different this time? In the original novel, Errong and Nie Qingyun had been forced into marriage before the Southern Trip and divorced around the time that Nie Sangyu had died. But this time, they both had favorable impressions of each other before marrying, right?

She had already changed the plot for the two of them by delaying their marriage until after the Southern Trip where they had time to get to know each other. She thought that by doing this, they wouldn't divorce.

Were the shackles of the original novel inescapable? Were they still going to divorce?

If their outcome was staying the same and had only been delayed, then was Nie Sangyu doomed to die? Had her death only been postponed?

Ji Man's entire body felt chilled and she tightly hugged Marquis Moyu.

”En?” Ning Yuxuan was slightly surprised. Why was she taking the initiative today?

”My lord, will there be a day when you'll fall in love with Sangyu?” Ji Man softly and quietly asked.

Ning Yuxuan's body stiffened, then it slowly relaxed. He faintly curved his lips and said, ”Who can say for sure?”

Ji Man secretly sighed. No, she couldn't let down her guard. She had to fight for his favor. Her life would only be secure if she obtained Marquis Moyu's heart. The only person in this household that wouldn't be sacrificed for his plots was the person in his heart.

After clearly understanding what she had to do, Ji Man started to seriously practice writing during the day and took the initiative to be slightly more attentive towards Marquis Moyu if he came to visit her in the night. When she was bored during the day, she would embroider or draw. The level of difficulty in learning how to play a musical stringed instrument was too high, so she didn't try.

After Ji Man's ten-day stay in the confinement courtyard ended, the residence had already completely changed. With Mu Shuiqing gone, Jinse was even more active in front of the household. Qi Siling held onto the inner court's account book and wouldn't hand it over to her. Wen Wan spent her time wholeheartedly taking care of her health and fetus. From time to time, she would act deliberately unreasonable and cause some drama. The only two people that didn't change were Qian Lianxue and Liu Hanyun. Both of them continued to quietly stay in their respective courtyards. It almost felt as if they didn't exist. Still, the marquis would always visit them once a month.
