Chapter 327 - Finding out about many things after becoming the heir's teacher (2)
After the quiet dinner ended, Ning Yuxuan said that he had matters to attend to and was going to his study, so he left the room first. As Ji Man was leaving to go back to care for Haohao, Tanxiang sneakily pulled her to the side.
”Mistress Wan is requesting your presence.”
Wen Wan? Ji Man curiously looked at Tanxiang. ”What's the matter? It wouldn't be appropriate for this one to go to Mistress Wan's courtyard, right?”
”Wouldn't it become appropriate as long as the teacher brings over the heir?” Tanxiang rebuked. Lightly sweeping her fragrant handkerchief over Ji Man's body, she said, ”Quickly, go.”
Since Ji Man had started cross-dressing, she had encountered plenty of women acting charming and flattering towards her. Right now, she was Ji Man, which meant that she was also playing the role of Zhangjun Prince's loyal servant. Could it be that the princess consort had already notified Wen Wan, so Wen Wan was treating her as someone on the same side as her?
After returning to her room and picking up Haohao, Ji Man really did go to Qiangwei Courtyard. Anyways, other than Ning Yuxuan and Guibai, Zhao Zhe was the only one that knew her real ident.i.ty. If Zhao Zhe wanted to use her, he wouldn't tell Wen Wan her real ident.i.ty. She wanted to go over there to hear what exactly Wen Wan wanted to say to her.
As she was entering Qiangwei Courtyard, an older female servant came over and wanted to take Haohao. Ji Man furrowed her brow and held her son tighter. ”It's better if I keep watching him.”
The older female servant didn't have any other choice and could only let Ji Man inside.
Tanxiang lifted up a curtain and saw that Ji Man had arrived. Smiling, she said, ”My master is waiting for the teacher inside.”
Ji Man nodded and directly entered Wen Wan's bedroom.
Wen Wan was properly sitting. Seeing Ji Man entering her room, she smiled and said, ”Teacher, you're keeping such a close watch over the heir. You're truly living up to the marquis's expectations.”
”Mistress Wan, you're overpraising this one.” Ji Man placed Haohao down on the floor and held his hand instead. ”The marquis handed over the responsibility of taking care of the heir to this one. If anything happens to the heir, this one can't bear that responsibility, so this one naturally has to keep a very close watch over him.”
Tanxiang closed the room's doors, and Wen Wan stood up and swept her gaze over Haohao. Looking at Ji Man, she said, ”A family member shouldn't say such distant words. Since the teacher has joined the marquis's household, we should be mutually showing caring towards each other.”
Ji Man chuckled. She comfortably sat down and said, ”Of course.”
As she had predicted, someone had already informed Wen Wan.
”It's only that this one recently came from Zhangjun, which is far away from here, so this one isn't aware of the situation in the marquis's household. This one can only respectfully request Mistress Wan to inform me.”
Wen Wan brightly smiled. ”Teacher, as you saw this evening, this household only has Liu-s.h.i.+ as the main wife and Wan-er as an honored concubine. There's also an ordinary concubine, but she's not important. The marquis has two children. The child by your side is the heir, and the second child is the madam's son.”
