Chapter 228 - The spider starts to weave (1)

It happened that Xuesong Courtyard also needed some items to be purchased . After Ji Man left Old Madame's courtyard, she went over to Qian Lianxue's place to ask her what she wanted to buy .

Qian Lianxue covered her mouth, then she looked at her for a long time while coughing . ”Madam, are you going outside yourself to buy these items?”

Ji Man nodded with a smile . ”It's best to do things yourself . After all, even if you send your personal servant girl to do something, there are times when a mishap will still occur . Don't you think agree?”

Danzhu was standing behind Qian Lianxue . Her eyelids slightly twitched when she heard these words .

She had just blatantly admitted that she had been the one that knocked Danzhu unconscious and taken the letter .

Qian Lianxue's expression looked a bit unnatural as she handed over the list of items .

Ji Man was still smiling as she stood up and left the room with Dengxin .

Right now, it was as if there was a plaque hanging on her body that had the words, ”come and kill me if you can” .

After they returned to Feiwan Courtyard, Ji Man spent sometime dressing herself up .

That night, Ji Man had Dengxin remain in Feiwan Courtyard while she sneaked over to Ning Yuxuan's study by herself . She wanted him to go with her when she went shopping tomorrow .

”Do you think I have so much free time right now that you can treat me like an errand boy?” Ning Yuxuan was slightly discontent . ”Why do you want me to go shopping with you? I'm very busy . ”

Ji Man smiled very sweetly . Holding his hand, she swung it left and right . ”The streets haven't been very safe lately . If I go out by myself, what will I do if I encounter danger?”

Ning Yuxuan pursed his lips and said, ”Then, send someone else to go . You don't need to go yourself . ”

Regardless if it was ancient times or modern times, men dislike accompanying women in shopping . Ji Man copied Wen Wan's style and twisted her body around his like it was fried dough . ”It's so rare for me to be in the mood to do anything . Please . Come with me . ”

She could feel that Ning Yuxuan had recently become gentler towards her . An ancient woman's greatest a.s.set was a man's indulgence and softhearted feelings towards her . Wen Wan used to have this, but she hadn't used it effectively . Now that she saw the stirrings of those feelings towards herself, she naturally had to use it well .

Ning Yuxuan felt quite helpless at her hounding . He impatiently waved his hand and said, ”Fine . Go back to Feiwan Courtyard for now . I'll wait for you at the back gate tomorrow . ”

As expected, this person was behaving sneakily as usual, that would work perfectly with her plan . Feeling quite satisfied, Ji Man obediently returned to Feiwan Courtyard .

Guibai, who had been standing to the side during their conversation, saw the serious expression that appeared on the marquis's face after Nie Sangyu left . He couldn't resist his impulse and asked, ”Marquis, do you want to bring more people during tomorrow's outing?”

”No need . ” Ning Yuxuan shook his head . Feeling a bit vexed, he asked, ”But, what should I wear tomorrow when I accompany that woman on her shopping trip?”

All of his clothing was incomparably luxurious . If he wore his usual clothing, there was no way that he wouldn't be stared at like a circus attraction by the commonfolk .

Guibai hadn't expected that his master would worry over something so minor . He let out a short laugh . ”My lord, if you don't mind, this subordinate has a set of clothing that was just made and hasn't been worn yet . You can borrow it to wear . ”

”Alright . ” Ning Yuxuan's eyebrows relaxed . Looking at the crown prince's letter, he returned to his work and deftly wrote out a reply .
