Chapter 459 – Standing by your side (2)

“You don't have to worry about what I'm doing. I wouldn't do anything that would harm you.” Ji Man took the list back from him. “Since you're doing your best in the front, I naturally have to do my best to support you from behind. It's only by doing that, that I have the qualifications to stand by your side.”

Ning Yuxuan looked at Ji Man for a long time before finally letting out a heavy sigh and hugging her. “I've truly picked up an extraordinary treasure.”

Ji Man felt somewhat embarra.s.sed. “Actually, all the women from my world are this clever too. It's only by chance that I was the one that came here.”

“En.” Ning Yuxuan smiled and kissed her forehead “Exactly, it was you.”

Ji Man smiled. She tugged him down to the seat next to hers and started to show him the results of this month.

Ning Yuxuan's expression didn't change much, but his mind had turned into a spectacular mess.

“How do you know…that a.s.sistant Minister Zhu is loyal to me?” Seemingly inadvertently, Ning Yuxuan asked. “Yingchen and Zhu Yurun's wedding was rocky. Who knows if a.s.sistant Minister Zhu has secret plans of his own?”

“He won't.” Ji Man pointed her writing brush at Zhu Yurun's name and said, “a.s.sistant Minister Zhu cherishes Zhu Yurun greatly. Yurun has married Qian Yingchen, and her life is pretty good right now. When she returns to her maiden family, she only reports good things and leaves out anything negative, so her father must be feeling relieved and rea.s.sured. Even if a.s.sistant Minister Zhu felt resentful towards you at the beginning, his anger would have dissipated once he saw how happy Zhu Yurun is with Qian Yingchen.”

Zhu Yurun was the simplest girl that she had met in this world, or perhaps, she could say that she was stupid to the point of being cute. a.s.sistant Minister Zhu's parental love for his daughter was the most sincere love she had witnessed after coming to this world. As long as his daughter was happy, he was happy too. Since Zhu Yurun had married Qian Yingchen, there was no way that her father wouldn't help Marquis Moyu.

Ning Yuxuan's eyes slightly dimmed. Ji Man was really too different from the women here. She could sway the hearts of people and even a.n.a.lyze political affairs. During the past period, when he had met with difficulties, he would occasionally mention those people to her. He hadn't expected that she would remember all of this, come up with a list of people that had connections with those court officials, and figured out what motivated them.

Her observations were relatively simple, but she only had access to limited information. If she could see the full picture, those important officials would be thoroughly a.n.a.lyzed to death by her.

This type of woman was a bit terrifying and might even be a threat to the imperial power. If she turned out to be as bewitching as Daji, it was possible that she would be a beauty that caused the next downfall of the nation.)

(T/N: Daji was the favorite consort of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. She's portrayed as a beautiful fox spirit that caused the downfall of a dynasty in legends.)

No, that wouldn't happen. Ji Man wasn't that wicked. Ning Yuxuan closed his eyes for a moment, then he stretched his hand out, scooped her onto his lap, and stroked her stomach.

He knew that she just wanted to work together with him to throw off the restraints that Zhao Zhe had placed on them and lived a better life.
