Chapter 247 (2/2)

There wasn't any benefit to reminding this person. Besides Wen Wan didn't even appreciate her advice. Ji Man shook her head. A lot of women liked to play games of ambiguous love. Even if the woman already had a partner, she wouldn't clearly reject the other person and would just fake obliviousness as an excuse so that she could enjoy the feeling of another person liking her.

If you play around too much, it will end up ruining your relations.h.i.+p with the person that you love.

However, Ji Man wouldn't share this high-level modern romance theory with Wen Wan. Watching as Wen Wan walk down the path to ruin was pretty fun too.

The imperial n.o.ble consort pulled Nie Sangyu to her side, and they talked for a while. The imperial n.o.ble consort also called Nie Chenyu over and bestowed her several items.

Looking at her older niece, the imperial n.o.ble consort gently said, ”You're both daughters from the main wife. Chenyu must be feeling a bit wronged.”

Ji Man pursed her lips. ”Sangyu understands.”

Nie Chenyu was the daughter of the main wife, but she had entered the marquis's household as only a concubine. From Chen-s.h.i.+'s perspective, her daughter was being horribly wronged, so she frequently went to the palace to cry in front of the imperial n.o.ble consort. This must be why the imperial n.o.ble consort was suggesting this to her. But, Ji Man wasn't the female lead. She wouldn't go the male lead and ask him to favor another woman while feeling aggrieved herself. And so, this was just an empty acknowledgement.

When they returned to the estate that night, contrary to Wen Wan's expectations, Ning Yuxuan didn't come over to favor her. He didn't even come to Qiangwei Courtyard. Instead, he went to Feiwan Courtyard.

Tanxiang comforted Wen Wan by saying, ”This servant thinks that the only reason the marquis frequently goes to Feiwan Courtyard is because Young Master Xi is there. You still have a place in the marquis's heart.”

Wen Wan was sitting at the table with red eyes. ”He's my child. How can I be willing to accept that he was taken from me and being used by that woman to gain favor?”

Tanxiang considered her words before saying, ”Master, you can take Young Master Xi back.”

”Right now, I don't have any status. How can I take him back?” At the mention of this, Wen Wan's eyes turned redder. ”The emperor has already relaxed his position. Why hasn't Yuxuan returned me to my original position?”

Tanxiang lowered her head. She really didn't have any words to comfort her master. She could only say, ”It's probably because Madam is pressuring him not to.”

Wen Wan paused. She clenched her fist. Her eyes darkened and brightened. ”Where's the item that Her Majesty gave me?”

Feiwan Courtyard.

Seeing that Marquis Moyu was in a bad mood tonight, Ji Man stayed silent. After helping him change his clothes, she obediently lied down to sleep. The wet nurse had already fed Xi-er and taken him out of the room. Surprisingly, he hadn't fussed or cried tonight.

After sleeping to the middle of the night, Ji Man kept feeling uneasy. She got up, draped an outer robe over herself, pushed opened the doors, and went to neighboring room to look.

Xi-er was quietly lying on the bed. His little face was red.

Had she just gotten used to being woken up by Xi-er's cries? Now that this baby was quiet, she actually felt a sense of unease.

From the doorway behind her, she suddenly heard the voice of the wet nurse asking, ”Madam?”
