Chapter 265 - Aren't you afraid that I'll tell on you? (2)

Monk Xuwu entered the room and very politely saluted Ning Yuxuan, then he straightened his body and started to ridicule him, ”Other families invite this old one over to perform religious ceremonies or ask for insight on how to meditate and contemplate Buddhist truths. Marquis, you're the only one that would ask this old one to come over to check how old the baby was when his mother gave birth to him.”

Ji Man made a bet with herself. This old monk had definitely rolled his eyes. He just did it so quickly that no one had noticed.

Without any expression, Marquis Moyu handed the baby over to the monk.

Holding the baby, the monk lowered his head for a closer look. He twitched his lips and said, ”This child had no traces of riches and n.o.bility. He's destined for a mediocre life of accomplis.h.i.+ng nothing. He's not as good as that previous baby...”

Ning Yuxuan coughed to interrupt him. With his brow slightly furrowed, ”Just tell me how long his mother had been pregnant when she gave birth to him.”

”A solid body with strong bones. He's definitely a baby that had been carried to full term, ah.” Monk Xuwu had only held Fu-er for a few seconds before he found it boring and stuffed him back into Ning Yuxuan's arms. ”You have too many children. Instead of staying an evil creature and involving yourself with worldly affairs, why don't you learn from this old one's immaculate lifestyle and have a pure and tranquil mind...”

Marquis Moyu was already not in the mood to listen to the rest of Monk Xuwu's advice. Dengxin had brought over a booklet that recorded which dates each woman had been favored. All n.o.ble families had records like these in order to avoid muddling a family's lineage.

”From the time that Honored Concubine Xue had been favored to when she gave birth, it had only been nine moon cycles.”

Ji Man sympathetically looked at Ning Yuxuan.

There wasn't any man that could tolerate something like this, much less a tyrannical male lead like Ning Yuxuan.

”There's no need to ask anymore questions.” So angry that even yelling wouldn't be enough to vent his feelings, Ning Yuxuan laughed instead. Looking at Nie Sangyu, he said, ”Pick two good stones for them, then tie them up and let them sink into the lake.”

Ji Man slightly pressed her lips together. She accepted the child that Ning Yuxuan pushed into her hands. Kneeling on the ground, Li Zixiu's face had turned deathly pale. Muxu didn't dare to raise her head and only cried and shouted, ”My lord, please have mercy!”

”Lock them up in the woodshed. Tomorrow, drown that vile sp.a.w.n with them.”

Guibai made a sound of a.s.sent, and the other servants came forward and dragged Li Zixiu and Muxu out of the room.

Someone came to take the baby from Ji Man. She paused for a moment before handing him over.

Wen Wan took a step and said, ”Madam, how can you be so heartless? The child is innocent. Why won't you persuade the marquis to change his mind?”

Ji Man glanced at her and replied, ”Why don't you go and persuade him yourself?”

Wen Wan looked at that man, who was in the midst of a raging temper, and shrunk her neck back. At this moment, if anyone dared to go forward to plead for the child, then that person would be a true idiot. Even the greatest Holy Mother aura wouldn't be able to calm down Marquis Moyu's overwhelming fury.

Muxu cried until her voice became hoa.r.s.e as she was dragged to the woodshed. She and Li Zixiu were shut into the woodshed together.
