Chapter 163 – How About I Personally Help You Up Into The Position Of An Honored Concubine? (2) (2/2)

She had served Nie Sangyu for six years. How could not know Nie Sangyu's intelligence and conduct? But, it was exactly because she had always been following after her and knew that this person had to be Nie Sangyu that she never felt suspicious despite the strange change in her behavior. She had thought her personality had just drastically changed from being confined for too long.

However, a person's brain couldn't be changed. Nie Sangyu had originally been such a foolish woman. It wasn't possible for her to become clever just because she had suffered shock. This woman wasn't Nie Sangyu!

Still kneeling, Muxu scooted backwards. Her eyes were full of fear.

Ji Man stood up, straightened her clothes, and leisurely said, ”If you want, you can go out and run around the marquis's residence three times while shouting that I'm not the real Nie Sangyu. Do you think anyone will believe you?”

Muxu shook her head. Feeling the wall at her back, she stopped retreating. Her face was deathly pale.

”Don't be so anxious. You know that you can't outwit me. Why are you still struggling?” Ji Man said, ”Even if you don't say anything today and make the huge sacrifice of ruining your own future in order to protect your hidden master, I'll still find out her ident.i.ty sooner or later. You couldn't hide from me and neither can she.”

”However, if you're willing to tell me who she is, I won't ask you to be loyal to me in the future or tell anyone that you were the one that told me. On the contrary, I can personally help you up into the position of an honored concubine.”

After showing her enough of the negative consequences, it was time for sweetness. This sweetness was incomparable. As a person that was used to being a servant, Muxu didn't have any defenses against this type of reward.

”Y-you're lying to me.” Muxu's eyes showed that her firm resolve had wavered, but she still felt somewhat guarded.

Ji Man covered her lips and smiled. ”Why would I lie to you? Are you doubting my ability? Or, do you think I'll suffer a loss if you become an honored concubine? Don't forget, you'll always be my person in the eyes of others.”

Muxu's heart moved. Although the woman in front of her was terrifying, she didn't have any other paths to take. If she followed this type of master, as long as she didn't act against her, she would be able to live a lavish life and no longer have to serve anyone.

Ji Man didn't rush her. She sat down and leisurely drank her tea as she waited for Muxu to decide.

After enough time had pa.s.sed for an incense stick to burn down, Muxu let out a long sigh.

T/N: To summarize rambling note below, I'm so sorry for the late chapters. I wasn't feeling well last week, but I feel much better now. I'll be posting at least two extra chapter parts each day by 11:55 PM EST until I catch up on late chapters.

Sorry for disappearing. I've been busy with personal stuff (finally done as of Sunday night, yay), and I haven't been feeling well until yesterday. I always feel disappointed when a translator or author only post an announcement that they've been sick/busy or some other reason and will post sometime in the future, so I didn't want to post before I had an new translated chapter.

Anyways, at minimum, I'll be posting two extra chapter parts each day by 11:55 PM EST until I catch up on late chapter parts from last week. Late chapters will be made up by November 30th 11:55 PM EST.

I'm very sorry for the late chapters. Thank you for being so patient!
