Chapter 261 - I'm getting married soon (2)
After scurrying back to where the banquet was being held, she b.u.mped into Marquis Moyu. This person was still looking at her without much emotion.
He grabbed her wrist and said, ”Don't wander around.”
”Oh.” Ji Man obediently stood by his side and started exchanging conventional greetings and other social niceties with the various people that approached them.

After returning to the estate, Ji Man ordered Steward Qian to prepare a wedding gift for Ning Mingjie. Even though it was still early, he was Ning Yuxuan's relative, so more thought should be put into this present.

Wen Wan repeated Tanxiang's words in a questioning tone with her mouth left gaping open in shock, ”Young Master is getting married?”
Tanxiang nodded. ”Madam is currently ordering Steward Qian to prepare a present.”
Wen Wan was stunned. Her heart felt an inexplicable ache. Ning Mingjie had always treated her courteously and gently, which had made her subconsciously think that this man probably liked her. She genuinely felt a bit depressed at the news of his upcoming marriage.
Still, it really was about time for Ning Mingjie to get married. Ning Yuxuan was younger than him and already had four children, but Ning Mingjie didn't even have a main wife.
Thinking this over, Wen Wan said, ”I do feel a bit guilt for using him like that last time. We should prepare a gift for him too.”
Tanxiang nodded.

Let's rewind a bit.
Ji Man had punished four of Nie Chenyu's servants by sending them to the back of the estate and still hadn't given a verdict on how Xis.h.i.+ would be punished for the fight that she had with Muxu. And so, Nie Chenyu and Muxu were both feeling dissatisfied with her.
As a result, when Ji Man and Ning Yuxuan went to the palace banquet, it was inevitable that they would make Xis.h.i.+ and Hanyun suffer.
When Xis.h.i.+ went to the garden to pick some plum blossoms by herself, she got into an argument with the servant that tended the plum trees. That servant shockingly didn't show any regard for Xis.h.i.+'s status and started a fight with her. Xis.h.i.+ was a shrewish and bold person herself. Pulling on the other person's hair and grabbing the other person's clothes, the two of them were engaged in a heated struggle.
As for Liu Hanyun, Nie Chenyu's personal servant girl, Zelan, brought out all of the silk fabric and the high quality coal that had been allocated to Linghan Courtyard using gold. Since Nie Sangyu had set a precedent by allowing this last time, Steward Qian didn't know what to say.
Liu Hanyun's health had been doing poorly, and she kept coughing. Chunpi wanted to ask a doctor to come over, but Nie Chenyu had monopolized both of the doctors in the estate. She said that her stomach area wasn't feeling well and needed them to check if she was pregnant.
And so, when Ji Man and Marquis Moyu returned from the palace banquet, they saw the servant that tended to the plum blossoms covered in bruises and kneeling on the ground. Xis.h.i.+ was next to her. Xis.h.i.+'s clothes were still disheveled, but she was showing a prideful expression of ”I won that fight.”
