Chapter 287 - Sister Complex? (2)

The change in the head of this household's att.i.tude naturally couldn't be hidden from servants. Before Ji Man had returned to Feiwan Courtyard to carry out Marquis Moyu's order, Steward Qian had already hand over the account book to Qian Siling.

In a harem, managing the account book was the equivalent to having an empress's authority and power. If she didn't manage the account book, she wouldn't have much to do as the matriarch.

Feeling indignant on her master's behalf, Dengxin said, ”Why didn't the marquis tell you why he's giving you the cold shoulder? At the very least, he should let you know what you did wrong, ah.”

Ji Man shook her head. No matter how much women competed for power and status, in the end, it was men that would decide their fate. This was the root of evil that existed in ancient times.

She had to think of a way to return to modern-day!

A servant girl that worked in outer part of Feiwan Courtyard came inside to report, ”Master, there's a person from Nie Residence that requesting to see you.”

Ji Man froze in surprise for a moment. She hadn't been back for long. Was there was already activity on that side?

As she hurriedly rushed over there and listened to that dependable servant girl's accounting of what was going on, Ji Man's heart felt waves of coldness.

Chen-s.h.i.+ wanted Qingyun to take one of Yanyun Clan's concubine-born daughters as his concubine, but Nie Qingyun had refused. Instead, he went to a brothel and stayed there for three days. At the end of day three, he brought back a courtesan with him. Chen-s.h.i.+ was furious. And yet, Nie Qingyun said that this courtesan was his true love.

True love, my a.s.s! Ji Man didn't even have to guess to know that Errong must be wretchedly crying right now. At the beginning, everyone had known that this was an alliance marriage, but Errong had whole-heartedly devoted herself to Nie Qingyun. And yet, the end result was that he brought back a woman and said that this woman was his true love. Ji Man hated that high heels didn't exist in this world. Otherwise, even if Nie Qingyun was Nie Sangyu's older brother, she would still stomp down hard on his feet.

This dynasty clearly didn't have brain-dead romance novels or TV shows that promoted true love. Why did one fool after another use the excuse of true love to throw away the wife he had at home? Why couldn't you just keep the ident.i.ty of your true love hidden in your heart? Saying it aloud was so hurtful.

When she arrived at Nie Residence in a mad rush, to her surprise, Nie Xiangyuan was also there. The entire family was in the great hall. Nie Qingyun and a woman that was wearing a dancer's outfit was kneeling on the ground. Ji Man raised her head and looked at Errong first.

To her surprise, Errong wasn't crying. She was just quietly standing and looking at those two kneeling people. Her expression was very calm as if she was only watching a servant saluting her.

Seeing his daughter standing in the doorway, Nie Xiangyuan gestured at her and asked, ”Sangyu, why did you come back?”

Although she hadn't met Nie Sangyu's father many times, Ji Man had already formed a good impression of him. It was because his eyes were filled with affection when he looked at his children.

Ji Man politely saluted Nie Xiangyuan and Chen-s.h.i.+, then she sat down on the side and said, ”Sangyu heard that older brother is taking a concubine. At the very least, Sangyu had facilitated the marriage between him and Errong, so Sangyu wanted to come and see what was happening.”

The kneeling woman quietly raised her head to look at the new arrival, and their gazes met.

This woman had a beautiful appearance and an alluring style. There was a light birthmark between her eyebrows, and her lips were a soft pink. When she saw Nie Sangyu, there was an astonished look in her eyes that was quickly replaced with understanding. She lowered her head and wryly laughed.
