Chapter 295 - Let's keep a memento (2)

”Is she asleep?”

”She should be sleeping, but her room is locked.”

”She really has a strong sense vigilance.”

Ji Man's nerves stretched taut. She couldn't resist the urge to sit up. She stuck to the wall like a gecko.

A slick, unfamiliar voice said, ”The reason for Shaoan's visit this time is to remind the marquis of camaraderie ties. If Sir Ning is willing to take the position of Zhenyuan General, it would naturally be a beneficial decision that wouldn't harm the marquis. After all, the two of you are related by blood. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons will still be connected.

”Sir Qin, you think too highly of Yuxuan. Yuxuan is merely a powerless marquis. Such an important imperial court matter can't be determined by Yuxuan.”

”Marquis, why act so modest? Who doesn't know that the emperor is increasingly relying on you? Everyone had originally expected Sir Ning to take that position, but there were people in the imperial court that used his lack of experience and seniority to disagree, so the emperor has remained hesitant. If the marquis would be willing to say a few words...”

Ning Yuxuan interrupted him, ”Second Young Master recently got married. Are his days going well?”

Qin Shaoan paused before saying, ”Second Young Master married a good woman. She's very helpful.”

”That's good. Then, send my regards to Second Young Master. It's not early anymore. Yuxuan understands Sir Qin's intentions. How about giving Yuxuan time to think things over?”

”Alright.” The unfamiliar voice sounded a bit hesitant as he added, ”Shaoan will boldly say a few words to remind the marquis that if your goal is to stay out of the political turmoil, then your honorable wife can't be allowed to remain.”

Ning Yuxuan's voice was a bit deeper as he said, ”Thank you for your concern. The night air is cold. Sir Qin, be careful as you leave.”

Ji Man took a deep breath, slowly fell back down on the bed, and quietly covered herself with the quilt.

She had truly thought that Ning Yuxuan was stupid enough to accompany her in such a long walk, but in actually, it was just an excuse to meet up with someone.

Their conversation was also a bit funny. An outsider had come to persuade Ning Yuxuan to help Ning Mingjie into the position of Zhenyuan General. Ning Yuxuan's voice sound as if he was trying to avoid responsibility, and that person had also tried to convince him to abandon Nie Sangyu.

What was going on?

From the other side, Ning Yuxuan asked, ”The door was locked?”

Guibai's answer of yes was followed by the sound of a window opening. Her heart tightened. They were on the third floor, so she had forgotten to lock her window!

It was only to be expected that people with martial art skills could jump over walls and enter rooms through windows by scaling buildings. Ning Yuxuan's movements were also very efficient as he entered through her window. He groped around until he found the bed, then he very naturally lied down as if she was dead asleep.

Wrapping his arm around her waist and straddling his leg over hers, Ning Yuxuan hugged her like she was a doll. After letting out a very long sigh, he started to drift off into sleep.

Ji Man couldn't move and had to keep her body from tensing. She had to keep her breathing smooth and regular while mixing in a little bit of teeth grinding that would normally happen when she was sleeping.
