Chapter 225 – Little by little, everything will be dealt with (2)

Ji Man fell sick . She didn't have any appet.i.te or much energy . Doctor Li had come over twice to check on her . Each time, he said that it was her heart that was sick . There wasn't a prescription that could fix this .

After Dengxin had cried enough, she knelt down in front of her master and tried to persuade her by saying, ”Master, don't feel too bad . If Gancao was still here, she wouldn't want to see you like this . ”

Ji Man shook her head and quietly said, ”I want to feel better too . I never had the habit of wanting to torment myself . But Dengxin, I really can't make myself eat . ”

Dengxin covered her mouth and let out a sob . She turned around to hide her crying face .

Gancao's family consisted of two younger sisters and her parents . Ji Man gave them plenty of money in compensation for the loss of their daughter, so they would never have to worry about money again for the rest of their lives . But, when Ji Man watched as Gancao's parents happily knelt down in front of her to thank her benevolence, she felt an indescribable pain in her heart .

Ning Mingjie came to Marquis Moyu's estate to take Gancao's body away to be buried .

Ji Man tottered after him to watch the burial rites that would be held at the top of a mountain .

Gancao hadn't formally entered Ning Residence, or observed any other formalities . But, Ning Mingjie still took on the role of her husband by laying her body into the wooden coffin and setting up a gravestone that said, Ning Gancao, maiden last name Liu .

Standing behind Ning Mingjie, Ji Man quietly said, ”I'm sorry . ”

Ning Mingjie slightly turned his head to look at her . There was a bit of stubble on his lower face . He dryly smiled and said, ”It's probably because I just don't have that fortune . I finally met a woman that truly loves me, but we've already been separated by time . ”

Ji Man's eyes redden .

It was slightly too windy on the top of the mountain, and the edges of Ning Mingjie's long robe was lifted up by the wind . His back figure looked quite lonely .

Ji Man was sick for a month . She had probably only survived by drinking medicine . Because she couldn't keep down any solid food during this month, her body rapidly lost weight . Although she didn't look as thin as a skeleton like when she had first come here, her body had returned to being slender and well proportioned . Every part was just right . If any part was slightly bigger, it would be too much . If any part was slightly smaller, it would be too little .

Ji Man bitterly smiled . This was the last present that Gancao would give her . It was better than any weight loss program .

Ji Man bitterly smiled . This was the last present that Gancao would give her . It was better than any weight loss program .

It was just that her appet.i.te was almost completely ruined .

When Muxu gave birth, it was a bit earlier than expected . However, she was able to smoothly give birth to a baby boy . Perhaps, her smooth delivery was due to Doctor Li taking care of her .

The estate became a bit more cheerful . After all, this was the Marquis Moyu's first baby, and it was a boy too . Even though Old Madame wasn't happy that this baby was from a concubine, she still felt a bit of joy in being able to hold her grandson in the midst of her sickness .

Ji Man took this opportunity to suggest to Old Madame to raise Muxu up to an honored concubine .
