Chapter 401 - About to leave and be separated by a long distance (2)

Ning Yuxuan's expression slightly sunk, and he silently turned his head away . A while later, he said, ”Why don't you stay in the capital? It's not suitable for a woman to go to Zhangjun by herself . ”

”Prince Zhangjun told me to go back . ” Ji Man sighed and said in somewhat pleased with herself tone, ”Right now, I have control over the grain price in the capital . As an important person, I naturally have to go to a safer place . If I stay in the capital and someone recovers her memories and spills the beans, will you protect me when your master seizes me and wants to behead me?”

Ning Yuxuan was frozen in surprise for a moment . He lowered his eyes . ”You're right . But if you leave so early, I won't be able to see you for a long time . ”

Ji Man paused before chuckling . ”That's okay . Marquis, aren't there other people by your side? Wouldn't it be better to look at them than to look at a man's face every day?”

She turned around and went back to tidying the cabinet . By the time she finished separating all of the records for the old debts and the new ones, her back ached from tiredness . When she turned her head, there was no one sitting at the table .

He had silently slipped in here and silently slipped out . People with martial arts were just that good . Ji Man clicked her tongue in admiration, then she left the room to look for Yan Buba to make arrangement for certain things . Once she was done with that, she would go prepare her luggage .

During the next several days, Marquis Moyu didn't come over . Ji Man didn't mind . She thought that he was probably busy with something .

However, on the morning that she was boarding the carriage to leave the capital and go to Zhangjun, Ning Yuxuan still hadn't appeared .

Feeling a bit uneasy, Ji Man looked at Yan Buba and asked, ”Has something happened in the imperial court recently? Has an important official been caught and put into the imperial prison or perhaps, put under house arrest? Say, someone like Marquis Moyu?”

Yan Buba was calculating something on his abacus . He looked at her oddly and answered, ”Boss, don't worry . You can leave . Marquis Moyu is fine . He hasn't been imprisoned or put under house arrest . ”

Then, why hadn't he come over to visit her? Ji Man furrowed her brow . Habit was truly a terrifying thing . Over time, she had gotten used to Ning Yuxuan coming over every day . When he had suddenly stopped coming, she felt a visceral uneasiness . She clearly didn't care about him . It was like when you were sitting in a slow-moving car and didn't feel as if you were moving, but when the car suddenly braked, your body would involuntarily lean forward .

Was this how Marquis Moyu seduced women? Ji Man chuckled . She finished packing and set out on her journey with two armed guards .

Fine, if he wasn't going to come here to send her off, she didn't care .

Was the carriage driver deliberately going the wrong way? Why would they pa.s.s by Marquis Moyu's estate on their way out of the capital? Even if they were going to pa.s.s by, why didn't he find an excuse to stop there? They had already pa.s.sed the estate's entrance .

With an unhappy expression, Ji Man called out, ”Stop . ”

The carriage driver obediently stopped the carriage and turned his head to look at her with a confusion expression . ”Boss?”
