Chapter: 005 Out Of 513 – When The Bell Tolls, You Must Kneel (2/2)

Ning Yuxuan's eyebrows twitched. He hadn't expected that she would actually be able to calmly kneel. His gaze became slightly complicated.

The guests also started whispering. They were shocked that the arrogant Nie Sangyu would actually offer tea to the honored concubines.

“You may rise.” Qi Siling gently smiled and stretched her hand out to help her up.

Ji Man stood up.

Mu Shuiqing was also looking at her in surprise. The surprise changed into disdain. Nie Sangyu must have received an expert's advice in order to become so sensible. However, she wouldn't allow this vicious woman to climb back over their heads in the future.

Although the new madam's humble family background made her unworthy to be a marquis's wife, this was exactly the reason why the female was able to evoke a different type of feeling from the marquis. If Nie Sangyu wanted to be favored just by relying on n.o.ble Consort Nie's status, then that was merely wishful thinking!

After she offered the second cup of tea, Ji Man comforted herself with these thoughts. Then, she saluted the new madam that was sitting on the head seating.

“I hate her… hate her so much…”

Ji Man had originally thought she wouldn't hear that voice again. She froze for a moment and her gaze fell on Wen Wan's skirt that was embroidered with a pair of birds flying together. What could she do to make Nie Sangyu let go of her deep hatred? It wasn't pleasant to hear such a anguished background sound in this joyful bright red room.

“This servant offers tea to madam.” While she had been distracted, the two concubines in front of her had already offered tea. When Ji Man returned to her senses, she also hurriedly went up to offer tea.

Before Wen Wan reached her hand out to take the cup, she carefully examined her from top to bottom, “Are you Nie Sang Yu?”

Ji Man froze for a moment in surprise, then she nodded and said, “Yes.”

“I heard that you came to this household the earliest. If Wen Wan doesn't know something in the future, I'll have to ask you for your guidance.”

The female lead was worthy of being called the female lead. How could a concubine give advice to a marquis's wife? Ji Man said with a smile, “This servant doesn't dare to offer any suggestions. If madam has any orders, this servant will do them.”

Ning Yuxuan slightly furrowed his eyebrows and couldn't resist looking at Nie Sangyu again. Less than a month had pa.s.sed. What exactly had happened to make Nie Sangyu, that shrew-like woman, change into someone that was quiet and obedient?

Liu Mama had been keeping a close watch over her this entire time and had reported that nothing strange had happened during this time. But now, her behavior was like this. Ning Yuxuan couldn't believe his eyes. If it wasn't because of the current occasion, he really wanted to peel off Nie Sangyu's face to see what demon was lurking underneath it.

Wen Wan nodded and didn't say another word. She reached her hand out to accept the cup. Just as Ji Man was going to stand up, her knees suddenly hurt and her body started to fall down towards Wen Wan.
