Chapter 219 – Don't look down on a woman for being fat (2)

Gancao angrily said, “What kind of sister is she? She said she came here to take care of you, but she hasn't taken even half a step into Feiwan Courtyard after moving here . Instead, she frequently goes over to Qiangwei Courtyard . If people didn't know better, they would think she was a servant bought for Wen Wan instead of your younger sister . ”

Ji Man was currently doing gymnastics and wearing a uniform that she had the seamstress specially create . In college, there had been a professor in the Chemistry Department that liked to research about weight loss and had imparted a lot of her knowledge to her students . Ji Man was glad that she had a good memory and was able to remember some of the exercises the professor had mentioned back then . She wrote out an exercise routine and followed it every day .

Originally, Gancao and Dengxin had been so shocked that their jaws had dropped . But by now, they were so accustomed to this sight that they would merely chat and spectate . It was because their master had said this was from a secret martial arts book that would help build up her health through exercise . The two simple servant girls easily trusted her words .

“Chenyu isn't like her mother . She has a lot of foresight, and her planning ability is pretty good too,” Ji Man responded as she jumped around, “Right now, the marquis goes to Qiangwei Courtyard the most often . Why shouldn't she rush over there for the chance to profit from the marquis's favored treatment to his darling? If she comes to my lonely Feiwan Courtyard, it's unlikely that she'll get any benefits . ”

Unconvinced, Dengxin asked, “Who said that Feiwan Courtyard isn't favored?”

Ji Man glanced at her .

The young servant girl twitched her lips and quietly said, “When I went to the kitchen today, Aunty Zhao was as warmly cordial as before . The amount of food that she gave me wasn't any less than usual . If anything, she gave more than required . Master, if the marquis doesn't care about you, would a stingy person like Aunty Zhao be acting so generous?”

Gancao said, “This servant also feels that amount of delicious food and other items hasn't decreased in this courtyard . Master, although the marquis hasn't come, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about you . ”

Ji Man smiled . “He's probably feeling guilty, so he wants to compensate me . But if he comes here to see me, he'll probably be alarmed and immediately turn around and go . ”

“Go where?” A chilly voice came from the courtyard's entrance .

Ji Man froze in surprised . She hasn't changed out of her exercise outfit yet . Her neck was stiff, and she didn't dare to turn around to look at him .

Ning Yuxuan quietly walked inside . There wasn't anyone behind him . He was wearing a formal robe and appeared as Ca.s.sanovlike as always .

“Marquis . ” Gancao and Dengxin stood up and saluted . After coming up from her curtsy, Dengxin hastily picked up the nearby outer robe and draped it over Nie Sangyu .

After tidying her hair, Ji Man turned around and also saluted, “My lord . ”

Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows . He walked to her side and looked at her from top to bottom for a long time . He finally pursed his lips and harshly said, “Too fat . ”

Ji Man's lips twitched, but she docilely replied, “It's inevitable to gain weight after giving birth . ”

Ji Man's lips twitched, but she docilely replied, “It's inevitable to gain weight after giving birth . ”

On the side of the courtyard, the one-month old toddy kitten was chasing after a small insect and meowed at this time .

Marquis turned his head and glanced at the toddy kitten, then he looked at Nie Sangyu and quietly said, “You've suffered a lot . ”

For an inexplicable reason, Ji Man's eyes got a little bit teary . She straightened her back and asked, “My lord, can you ease this servant's suffering? Can you bring my baby back to me?”

Ning Yuxuan opened and closed his mouth . He seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed those words down and shook his head . “I can't . ”

Bah, then you might as well have said nothing!
