Chapter 269 (2/2)

”That's fine. I'll come with her.” Ji Man felt slightly worried and avoided that servant girl's hand. ”Just lead the way.”

The red-robed servant girl didn't say anything. After many twists and turns, they finally stopped in front of a courtyard that was full of red ribbons that had been tied into concentric knots.

”The good luck woman is waiting inside. Madam, you don't need to come inside.” The servant girl took Zhao Qian from Nie Sangyu and said. ”Madam, thank you.”

Seeing that they had arrived, Ji Man couldn't stubbornly insist on following them inside. She could only watch as Zhao Qian was brought into the bridal chamber, then she turned around and went to look for Ning Yuxuan.

Ning Yuxuan was already drunk from all of the toasting. His usually cold face was flushed. Seeing her coming over, he childishly stretched his hand out towards her. ”Sangyu.”

Ji Man felt a bit startled. When she reached his side, he hugged her waist and said, ”Older cousin is clearly the groom that should be doing all of the drinking, but he keeps pus.h.i.+ng me to drink more. Don't you think he's being really mean?”

Ning Mingjie had also drunk too much. His eyes were filled with sparkling things. He loudly laughed and said, ”He wouldn't speak the truth when I asked him, so my only choice was to get him drunk. Once he's drunk, he'll naturally say truthful words.”

Ji Man's lips twitched. She swept her gaze across this table of young men. Nie Qingyun was also here, but he had drunk too much and lost conscious. When she carefully looked at him, she could see that his brow was still furrowed. Had he been worrying about something lately? Other than Ning Mingjie and Ning Yuxuan, none of the other men were still awake and capable of saying anything.

”Help me drink.” A white wine cup was brought to her lips.

As soon as Ji Man lowered her head, she could smell a very strong alcoholic scent.

In ancient times, n.o.ble families didn't dilute the wine with water during banquets, so the alcoholic percentage was very high. No wonder Ning Yuxuan had drunk to the point of looking like a fool.

Ji Man took the cup and looked as if she had cleanly drunk it, then she raised her sleeve and spat it all out. The wine had been potent enough to flush her cheeks. ”En, I'll help you drink.”

Ning Yuxuan actually smiled. Pulling on her waist, he asked, ”Sangyu, what kind of men do you like?”

Startled, Ji Man carefully looked at his eyes. He really was wasted.

”This servant likes a man that whole-heartedly loves one person. His salary isn't too high or too low. He's someone that could a buy house together with me, treats me well, and knows how to cook. When I say east, he won't look west. His wife would be the most important person to him. He won't be a promiscuous person that cheats on me. He knows how to repair light bulbs and how to fix computers.”

Her expression didn't change as she finished answering this question. After thinking it over, she added, ”That type of men is already on the verge of going extinct. It would be easier to just find a hourly worker.”

Ning Yuxuan blankly looked at her. Next to him, Ning Mingjie was also dumbfounded by these words. A moment later, he suddenly laughed.

”I don't understand what your other requirements mean, but just from your requirement of wanting a man that whole-heartedly loves you, I know that the type of men that Sangyu likes doesn't exist.”

Ji Man seriously nodded. ”It's not your fault. It's because you were raised in this this world.”

Pursing his lips, Marquis Moyu collapsed to the side. Feeling very unhappy, he looked at her and said, ”So, you don't like me.”

Ji Man covered her mouth and laughed. ”My lord, you're drunk. This servant is also drunk. Let's go back home, wash up, and go to sleep.”

Translator Ramblings: OMG, Ji Man, why aren't you sending Ning Mingjie or someone else to check up on the bride? How did you let yourself get distracted like this?

This is the first time in this novel, where I was actually worried about what's going to happen next. For Ji Man, I feel that she can handle anything that's thrown at her, so I've never felt worried. Hope the bride is okay.
