Chapter 474 - Give me back my sword (1)

Pengxin sheepishly raised her hand and greeted, ”Madam.”

Ji Man was somewhat surprised. This young woman looked very different from her previous impression of her when they had briefly met on the boat. This young woman was no longer equipped with a large sword. Today, she was dressed in a beautifully colored silk outfit. Pengxin had approached her cautiously and greeted her with a soft voice too.

”Cousin-in-law, let's go inside to talk.” Smiling, Ji Man welcomed her. As soon as she touched Pengxin's hand to lead her inside, she noticed that her hand was as cold as ice. ”Cousin-in-law, did you come here on a sedan?”

”No, I rode here on a horse.” Pengxin sat down, took the tea that Ji Man offered her, and wrapped her hands around the cup to warm herself up. Once the chill finally started to dissipate from her hands, she said, ”I've been married for a few months already. I thought it was about time for me to come back here to pay a visit.”

Ji Man looked at her from top to bottom. She smiled as she said, ”Princess, you've seem very different from before. You used to be more at ease. But now, it's as if you're tied up by something.”

Pengxin was stunned. She lowered her head and looked at herself. There was alarm in her eyes. ”Don't scare me. What's tying me up?”

”I didn't mean something supernatural.” Ji Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. ”Never mind, cousin-in-law, why did you come here so late? Did something happen?”

Ji Man thought; this young woman's eyes couldn't hide anything. All her feelings were plainly written on her face. Something must have happened in Ning Mingjie's household for her to come over here so late.

Pengxin hesitated for a while. Great Song's people liked to euphemistically, so she should trying do the same.

And so, she deliberated her words before finally coming up with, ”Does the general still like you?”

Ji Man, ”...”

Nearby, Dengxin was shocked by this princess's bold words. She hurriedly went over to the courtyard's entrance to closed the doors, but she ended up almost screaming when she got to the entrance.

Marquis Moyu had arrived here without them being aware. Noticing that there was a guest in the courtyard, he hadn't gone inside and was leaning against the entrance while he waited. He had probably overheard the princess's recent words. Otherwise, his expression wouldn't look so ugly.

Ji Man coughed to clear her throat and sighed. ”Princess, you're probably just misunderstanding. The general has probably never even thought about me that way, so how could there even be a question of him still liking me?”

”But...” Pengxin frowned. ”That's what everyone says. They say that you're the bright moon in his heart...”

”Who are they?” Ji Man curiously asked.

Pengxin curled her lip. ”The people in his household.”
