Chapter 259 - How long will the road to revolution be? (2)

Ji Man went back inside. Looking at Liu Hanyun, she sighed and said, ”You were being bullied. Why didn't you send Chunpi to look for me?”

Liu Hanyun dryly smiled. ”It wasn't that bad. Back when this concubine was a servant girl myself, my winters were like this too.”

Chunpi pursed her lips and said in a low voice, ”It's because those servants belonged to your younger sister, so my master was scared of offending her and didn't even dare to scold them.”

Nie Chenyu was currently making quite the scene; even the servants that she had brought with her were all strutting around too.

Ji Man lightly laughed, shook her head, and said, ”Just because she's my younger sister, it doesn't mean that she can ignore the rules. I won't be unfairly biased. If something like this happens again, just come and tell me. I'll take care of it.”

Liu Hanyun smiled and nodded. She was still holding Xi-er. Xi-er had already stopped crying and fallen asleep.

”That's odd.” Ji Man blinked and looked at the little fellow. ”I always have to coax him for a long time each day before he'll fall asleep. It's surprising that it only took a short amount of coaxing from you to get him to fall asleep.”

Liu Hanyun was still smiling as she said, ”Babies respond differently to different people. Look at Yun-er. She likes to cry a lot too usually, but Chunpi always succeeds in calming her down.”

Looking at Liu Hanyun's motherly glow, Ji Man thought; she had been right. A woman that was also a mother was the most mesmerizing type. Had Ning Yuxuan developed astigmatism or nearsightedness? Otherwise, how could he like someone like Nie Chenyu?

That night, the snow stopped, but it was still very cold outside. Ji Man was informed that Ning Yuxuan would be going to Luoyuan Courtyard later tonight. And so, wrapped up in a cloak, she brought Yun-er with her, stood at the path that would lead to Nie Chenyu's courtyard, and waited.

After walking closer and seeing them, Ning Yuxuan asked in a displeased tone, ”What are you doing here? Pretending to be a ghost?”

Holding Yun-er, Ji Man sighed and said, ”If this servant had a chance to see the marquis during the day, this servant wouldn't be standing here in this place to stop you. How long has it been since you saw Hanyun?”

Marquis Moyu stopped at her side, looked at Yun-er, and took her from Nie Sangyu. ”Now that you mention it, it's about time for me to visit her.”

Ji Man stretched her hand out and stroked Yun-er's face. ”When I went to visit her today, there wasn't a single brazier in her room. Hanyun's face was also deathly pale. Even if Yun-er is only a daughter, she's still your flesh and blood. Look at how thin she's become. She's not even half of Xi-er's weight. Don't you feel any pain when you see her like this?”

Perhaps, it was just genetics or it could be some other reason, but Yun-er continued to be very small and looked especially pitiful.

Marquis Moyu's gaze softened. He pursed his lips and said, ”You stopped in the middle of this path because you want me to go to Linghan Courtyard, right? Aren't you worried that your younger sister will be mad at you?”

Ji Man shrugged. ”I've already gotten used to being the villainess. My lord, you need to hurry up and change your path. Otherwise, if other people bully Hanyun to death, you're going to blame me for dragging her into this trouble.”

Ning Yuxuan slightly nodded. He glanced at her one more time before turning around and heading towards Linghan Courtyard.
