Chapter 375 - System Notification: Your white lotus has been upgraded (2)

On Marquis Moyu's side, there were mixed feelings about the unsuccessful wedding. Grand Tutor Peng had personally paid a visit to offer his apologies. Ning Yuxuan didn't have anything good to say. The relations.h.i.+p between the two sides would just be a bit awkward. However, Ning Yuxuan had still sighed in relief when he found out that Ji Man hadn't been able to marry Zhu Yurun,

For now, he wouldn't concern himself with what was happening over at Qian Residence. Once he found some free time, he went to look for Ji Man.

---

Ji Store's rice business was growing rapidly. Ji Man had confidence that after a year, she would be able to gain complete control over the cost of food in the capital. She had a solid relations.h.i.+p with the Ministry of Revenue as well as a talented store manager like Yan Buba. Ji Man felt that she could sleep without worries for a long period of time.

As for Ning Yuxuan, once Ji Man found out that he had chosen to confine Wen Wan within his estate, she no longer wanted to see him. And so, no matter where Ning Yuxuan went to stop her for a talk, he was unsuccessful.

This lasted until she received the news that the marquis's honored concubine had hanged herself.

Ji Man felt a bit frightened. Wen Wan committed suicide? Although the original story was a stupid romance novel, wasn't there a law that the female lead couldn't die? If Wen Wan's story ended like this, what would happen to her?

Was it time for a grand finale in this story? What would become of her then?

Not having the time to worry about anything else, Ji Man rushed to the marquis's estate. The servants at the entrance were originally going to stop her from her entering, but Liu Hanyun happened to be waiting at the entrance for Marquis Moyu. Seeing that it was Ji Man, she let her in.

”Madam…”

”Don't call me Madam. Sir Ji will suffice. ”Ji Man hastily walked. Her mood was very complicated as she asked, ”How's the situation?”

”She was saved from death, but she remains unconscious.” Liu Hanyun furrowed her brow as she said, ”She was immediately rescued down when she tried to hang herself, so I don't know why she's still unconscious and saying nonsensical words in her sleep. I've already sent a servant to inform the marquis.”

Still alive? Ji Man let out a long exhalation of relief and hurriedly continued walking to Wen Wan's room to check for herself. She had originally wanted this woman to simply die, but if Wen Wan died like this, wouldn't that be letting her off too easily?

Wen Wan was clad entirely in white as if she was dressed in burial clothes. Her face was also thoroughly white with only her veins showing color. She was mumbling something.

The doctor was already putting away his tools on the side. Seeing Liu Hanyun, he reported again, ”There's nothing wrong with Mistress Wan. She'll be fine after waking up.”

Liu Hanyun nodded. Ji Man sat down by Wen Wan's bedside.

”Save me...” Wen Wan seemed to be having a nightmare. Ji Man stared at her for a while in puzzlement.

Why would a person that tried to hang herself be calling out to be rescued? Was this supposed to be a joke?

”Don't...”

Ji Man couldn't clearly hear the rest of Wen Wan's words. Furrowing her brow, she couldn't resist the impulse of getting closer. To her surprise, Wen Wan suddenly opened her eyes. Faced with Wen Wan's empty gaze, Ji Man almost fell over in alarm.
