Chapter 367 - A boneheaded teammate (2)

Wen Wan was stunned. The heir had been brought into the palace? He was only a marquis's heir. Why would he be brought there? Wen Wan's brow furrowed as she tried to figure out the reason. It couldn't be that Kangyuan Junzhu had shown the painting to the emperor, and the emperor had the heir brought into the palace because he thought the heir was a cute child, right?

”Then, the marquis should be thanking me.” Pouting, she said, ”Since the heir has been brought into his palace, he'll have unlimited prospects. If he receives the emperor and empress's favor, they might even bestow a wife on him in the future.”

Ji Man laughed out of extreme fury. ”You think that the marquis will thank you?”

”Of course!” Wen Wan shot a glance at her. ”Move your hand away. If you dare to continue acting so discourteously, I'll tell the marquis that you acted indecently towards me!”

Ji Man looked at Wen Wan as she forced Wen Wan to retreat step by step until her back hit the wall. ”At the very least, we're people on the same boat. Miss Wen, you're really good at messing with the people on your own side.”

They were both working for Zhangjun Prince. Although Wen Wan wasn't being used as thoroughly as her, she was still a person that was at the battlefront. In the end, this foolish girl still cared the most about competing for favor and didn't care about her allies. Allies were simply abandoned when they got in the way of her being favored.

If this boat sunk, it would be because of her stupidity.

Ji Man took a deep breath before grabbing hold of this idiot's neck and slapping her face hard.

”Go tell the marquis that I acted indecently towards you. I've been holding in the urge to hit you for way too long!”

”Ahh!” On the side, Tanxiang screeched and ran out of the room in panic. ”Help! Teacher Ji hit my master!”

Wen Wan blanked out after being slapped, but Ji Man didn't stop. How could anything good come from Haohao going to the palace? He was a hostage! As soon as there was a clash in interests or if Marquis Moyu messed up on something, Haohao would definitely be the first one to pay with his life!

She had finally found her son and entered the marquis's household as a teacher that could stay by her son's side. But now, this idiot was saying that she should be thanked for her part in Haohao being taken into the palace.

Thank you? Yeah, right!

Ji Man's eyes were slightly red. Wen Wan continued to be dazed as Ji Man wildly choked her. Ji Man knew that she wouldn't actually be able to kill this scourge, but she had to at least give her a taste of death!

Wen Wan returned to her senses and started to desperately struggle. As the two of them scuffled, they ended up tumbling onto the ground. Ji Man kept slapping Wen Wan's face with both of her hands. Wen Wan was a flimsy little miss and could only weakly struggle by kicking Ji Man a few times.

Ji Man had always been a rational person that firmly believed using force wouldn't solve any problems and being too straightforward was a bad idea. Before taking action, she would figure out the most useful method...

But, Haohao had already been taken away. There was no reason for her to stay in the marquis's estate, so why should she bother with taking so many things into consideration? If she could slap Wen Wan twice, she definitely wouldn't stop after slapping her once!

The servants that had been stationed outside came into the room. When they saw this scene, they were all stunned. None of them dare to step forward to pull Ji Man off of Wen Wan.
