Chapter 261 (2/2)

Ning Yuxuan suddenly thought; having so many women, it really was quite stressful.

In a low voice, Ji Man calmly asked, ”How can a mere servant dare to fight with a master?”

Someone had clearly told this servant what to say. She put on a bold face and said, ”Isn't it because this servant heard that Mistress Xia was allowed to hit Honored Concubine Zheng? She still hasn't been punished. Well, this time, Mistress Xia plucked the flowers that servant had worked so hard to grow, so why can't this servant hit her?”

She said that she had hit Xis.h.i.+, but she was clearly the one that had been beaten by Xis.h.i.+. Xis.h.i.+ hadn't just docilely allowed herself to be hit.

Hearing these words, Ning Yuxuan felt the start of a migraine. He said, ”I've never seen a woman that likes to fight. Sangyu, did you not teach Xis.h.i.+ manners?”

She's your woman. How can you blame me? Ji Man rolled her eyes, but she still pleasantly said, ”This servant feels that Xis.h.i.+'s directness is actually quite cute. It's rare to see this quality in a woman.”

Ning Yuxuan looked at her. He pursed his lips and said, ”It would be outrageous if propriety wasn't adhered to in this household. You can make the decision on how to rectify this issue.”

”How could this servant dare to make the decision?” Ji Man scoffed. ”She's practically untouchable. She's your precious person. It wouldn't be okay to scold her or say anything too harsh.”

Marquis Moyu's eyes slightly brightened. He actually smiled and said, ”You can deal with everyone in the estate as you like as long as there's a reasonable justification behind your actions. I won't say anything.”

Ji Man raised her eyebrows. After contemplating his words, she seemed to have understood something. Right now the first prince and the third prince were busy competing for power and didn't have the free time to care about Marquis Moyu's family affairs. As a result, the value of these women had become limited. Since they stirred up trouble, it would be best to deal with them.

Then, whom should she start with?

Nie Chenyu.

Liu Hanyun was the most good-natured person in this household, but she was also the one that was being tormented the most. As soon as she turned her back, Nie Chenyu would take the opportunity to make Liu Hanyun's life miserable in some way. Unfortunately, Liu Hanyun continued to be the type of person that didn't complain when she was being treated unfairly.

Ji Man brought Dengxin with her to Luoyan Courtyard. The two doctors in the estate had both been detained here. Nie Chenyu was lying in bed, clutching her stomach, shouting that it hurt, and insisting that they keep checking her pulse to see if she was pregnant.

For lack of a better option, Ji Man said, ”You probably just ate too much, so you're feeling indigestion right now. Your stomach won't hurt just from being pregnant.”

Nie Chenyu harrumphed. She curled her lip and said, ”Anyways, there's nothing you want more than for me to not be pregnant.”

Ji Man didn't refute her words. That was true too. If Nie Chenyu became pregnant, who knows how troublesome her life would become.

”Doctor Li, come to Linghan Courtyard with me.”

Nie Chenyu sat up. Frowning, she asked, ”What right do you have to say that? I requested him to come here first.”

Ji Man turned her head and said with a smile, ”The marquis is waiting at Linghan Courtyard. Don't you know that the marquis dislikes malicious women the most?”

Translator Ramblings: Lol, I think Ning Yuxuan is happily thinking that Ji Man is feeling jealous of Xis.h.i.+, but Ji Man is just feeling annoyed that he's dumping his problems at her feet.
