Chapter 182 – My Lord, Im Pregnant With Your Child (1) (2/2)

It was true that she hadn't any conflicts with Qian Lianxue up to now. Ji Man felt confused after her conversation with Old Madame.

Later in the morning, the people that came over to pay respects to Old Madame increased. Ning Mingjie and Ning Yuxuan had both come. And so, Ji Man brought up the topic of Ning Mingjie saving Gancao yesterday.

“Mingjie accomplished a great meritorious service again.” Marquis Moyu smiled. “The emperor had given him the capital's most troublesome case and he had actually solved it in a couple of days.”

Wen Wan was standing at the side. She looked at Ning Mingjie with a very appreciative gaze, as well as an inexplicable amount of pride. It was if her subconscious mind believed that this person belonged to her.

Ning Mingjie quietly said, “It was just coincidence that led Mingjie to solving this case. It's all thanks to Sangyu actually. If she was less courageous and had forgotten the direction that those criminals had run to, then Mingjie definitely wouldn't have been able to solve this case.”

Ji Man looked at him and faintly smiled.

Ning Mingjie raised his head and returned her smile with his own.

Looking at these two people that were making sheep eyes at each other, Marquis Moyu's expression sunk. “How does this have anything to do with Sangyu? Didn't you just say that it was a coincidence that Sangyu was outside yesterday? Of course she would see if Gancao was kidnapped right in front of her.”

Old Madame interrupted, “You were being inattentive and didn't clearly understand the whole story.”

Naturally, Ning Yuxuan wasn't upset over the case. He pursed his lips and didn't know what to say. If he wanted to say that she was acting improperly as a married woman, he couldn't. She hadn't done anything obviously wrong. From top to bottom, she managed everything perfectly in this residence for him and had even received praise from the emperor. However, she clearly didn't care about him, her husband. Instead, she showed other men a pleasant countenance and exchanged flirtatious glances with Ning Mingjie.

Unable to move past feeling angry, Ning Yuxuan went to Feiwan Courtyard in the afternoon. He didn't bring Wen Wan with him.

Ji Man was currently giving herself a manicure. She felt somewhat surprised to see him. “My lord, have you recovered from your cold?”

Ning Yuxuan lightly coughed twice and sat down at the table. “Not yet.”

Then, why had he come here? Putting on a show of being weak? Ji Man wanted to roll her eyes, but she cheerfully smiled and asked, “Do you want this servant to prepare a bowl of medicine that's the same as yesterday's?”

This time, she had Doctor Li come over to directly give her two packets of medicine. After confirming that it was safe, she sent Gancao and Dengxin to cook the herbal medicine.

Thinking of how Marquis Moyu had drunk the pregnancy medicine last time, Ji Man still felt a bit of glee.

Ning Yuxuan actually didn't refuse. “If your servant girl is already cooking a bowl for you, then prepare a bowl for me as well.

Ji Man almost couldn't stop herself from laughing. She tightly pursed her lips to hold in her laughter and finally said, “Alright, this servant will go and order Dengxin to make a bowl for you too.”
