Chapter 157 (2/2)
But, when he was halfway there, Ji Man had blocked his path with a bowl of chicken soup .
“My lord . ”
Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows . Looking at the sweetly smiling woman in front of him, he asked, “What?”
“This servant has something to discuss with you . ” Ji Man fawningly held out the bowl of chicken soup . “How about going to Feiwan Courtyard with me to talk?”
Ning Yuxuan looked at her, then he looked at Jiyue Courtyard that was down the path . He nodded .
He finished drinking the chicken soup . Based on the flavor, he could tell that she must have simmered it for over two hours . Ning Yuxuan elegantly wiped his mouth and asked Nie Sangyu, “What do you want?”
Sitting upright and still, Ji Man seriously said, “My lord, I think you should visit Wan-er tomorrow . ”
Marquis Moyu was slightly surprised . “Why?”
“According to a person’s mental progression, Wan-er will have understood why she was wrong by tomorrow afternoon and will want to see the marquis . ” Ji Man blurted, “This servant is worried that she might get too depressed since she’s been locked up for so long . It’ll be good for the marquis to pay her a visit . ”
Ning Yuxuan looked at her for a long time with his arms crossed before chuckling . “What are you plotting?”
Nie Sangyu wasn’t the type of kind-hearted person that would ask him to see Wen Wan for no good reason .
“Sangyu is doing this for the marquis, the marquis’s household, as well as Prince Huainan’s heir and daughter-in-law,” Ji Man seriously said, “You just need to go over there and listen to Wen Wan speak her side of the story . You don’t have to do anything else . ”
“Is this chicken soup supposed to be my remuneration?” Feeling rather unsatisfied, Ning Yuxuan tapped the spoon against the bowl .
The corners of Ji Man’s lips twitched . “My lord, what else do you want then?”
“I want two more bowls . One for tomorrow and one for the day after that,” he said .
The corners of Ji Man’s lips twitched . “My lord, what else do you want then?”
“I want two more bowls . One for tomorrow and one for the day after that,” he said .
“Sure . ” It wasn’t difficult to cook chicken soup . The more chicken soup she prepared for his health, the more it would prove that she was a virtuous wife .
And so, the marquis that had been bribed with three bowl of chicken soup really did go to see Wen Wan the next afternoon .
Earlier in the afternoon, Ji Man had led Qianqian and Zhao Kaifeng to the other side of the wall that bordered the woodshed . There were three chairs and a plate of snacks for them while they waited to hear the conversation on the other side .
As soon as the woodshed was open, Wen Wan’s tearful voice came out, “My lord – ”
Zhao Kaifeng instinctively turned around to look . Unfortunately, the window's paper was too thick and he couldn’t see anything .
Looking at how haggard Wen Wan had become, Ning Yuxuan sighed . “This time, I really couldn't protect you . The emperor wanted me to order you to commit suicide . I could only protect you by saying you’ll never advance to being a concubine or a wife for the rest of your life . Do you accept this?”
The sound of Wen Wan’s cries abruptly cut off . She incredulously asked, “How could this be? This matter has nothing to do with Wan-er!”
Chapter 157 out of 513 Madam Ning the Mediator Envoy 2 Zhao Kaifeng s poor poetry skills weren t Luo Qianqian s match . She soundly criticized him from top to bottom using famous poems and songs . Listening to them from the side, Ji Man couldn t stop laughing . An hour later, Zhao Kaifeng smiled . Listening to her well spoken words, he thought that she looked as beautiful as a lotus . He shook his head, You definitely deserve the t.i.tle of the capital s most talented woman . I can t outargue you . Luo Qianqian sneered . You re flattering me . Didn t you all give the t.i.tle of most talented woman to Wen Wan, on the basis of her In praise of the lotus poem Zhao Kaigeng coughed . She s not as literary talented as you . Thank you for finally opening your eyes and saying the truth . Finished with cursing at him, Luo Qianqian s heart also felt considerably better . Still, when she remembered that he still thought Wen Wan was a good woman, she felt as if a fishbone was painfully stuck in her throat . Ji Man walked into the pavilion . The heir has already stood there and let you curse at him for such a long time . How about putting the issue of divorce to the side for now Reaching Luo Qianqian s side, she quietly said, I ll invite the two of you as guests to Marquis Moyu s residence tomorrow . Let s see if this sore point can be resolved . Luo Qianqian lowered her head and thought for a long time . Seeing that Nie Sangyu was whispering something to Qianqian, Zhao Kaifeng fretfully looked at her and said, Madam Ning, this is Prince Huainan s private household matter . Isn t it inappropriate for you to interfere Last time, this madam had said Qianqian had married the wrong person, and Qianqian had ended up saying she wanted a divorce . What was this madam telling her now Ji Man rolled her eyes . Luo Qianqian also glared at him . You don t want Madam Ning to interfere Then, let s go to the palace together right now and ask the emperor to allow us to divorce . Is this what you want Madam Ning has been trying to persuade me to change my mind . And yet, here you are, blaming her for interfering in family matters . Zhao Kaifeng didn t say another word . He turns his head away and looked at the vase on the side . He felt annoyed with himself . Why had he become so pathetic At this point, Qianqian might as well eat him alive . Ji Man acted as a mediator . The flowers will be blooming very beautifully tomorrow in the marquis s residence . Please give Sangyu some face and come over . Alright, Qianqian agreed . The situation had turned around and there was potential for reconciliation . The people in Luo Residence and Prince Huainan s residence let out a sigh in relief . As Ji Man was leaving, Sir Luo sent servants to go back with her to deliver presents . Ji Man gave all of the gifts to old madame . Looking at the southern sea pearls that Sir Luo had given to Nie Sangyu, she happily said, Isn t there only a Wen Wan between the heir and his wife You re such a clever child . You must have a way to fix this problem, right Old Madame, you can be rea.s.sured . Ji Man gave a small smile . Wen Wan was the type of woman that said different types of words to different men . She had the ability to look absolutely pitiful and her persuasive words were perfect . The heir was just missing a chance to see the real Wen Wan . Right now, Wen Wan was locked in the woodshed and Marquis Moyu hadn t visited her . Ji Man propped up her chin in her hand . It wouldn t be difficult to resolve this problem . That night, Marquis Moyu wanted to go to Qi Siling s Jiyue Courtyard . But, when he was halfway there, Ji Man had blocked his path with a bowl of chicken soup . My lord . Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows . Looking at the sweetly smiling woman in front of him, he asked, What This servant has something to discuss with you .
