Chapter 187 – A female lead that's grievously suffering (2)

The next day, Ji Man gave Gancao and Dengxin time off to visit their families. Wen Wan was left as her remaining personal servant.

Feeling extremely uneasy, Gancao looked at Nie Sangyu and said, “Master, it's okay if we visit our families at another time. Your body…”

Dengxin nodded and added, “That person in the side room doesn't know how to serve people at all. What if something were to happen?”

Ji Man looked at the bottom edge of a skirt that was peeking out from the doorway, faintly smiled, and said, “Why would anything happen? Wan-er isn't stupid. If anything happens when she's the only one serving me, then she'll have to pay for the death of my baby with her life. Imperial n.o.ble Consort Nie and the rest of my clan would never let her off, even the marquis wouldn't be able to stop them.”

Gancao and Dengxin still felt worried, but Ji Man pushed some money into their hands and personally escorted them out of the residence.

After she publicized her pregnancy, the likelihood of her two simple-minded personal servant girls being used by other people was too great. Moreover, she wasn't sure how much she could trust them. She was scared that she would accidentally drink another bowl of medicinal soup with saffron. And so, the best solution was to send them away and have Wen Wan serve her for a while.

On the bright side, if Qian Lianxue wanted to harm her, she would have fewer opportunities to do so. As for Marquis Moyu, he wouldn't dare to act rashly while she had Wen Wan as a hostage. If he dared to do anything against her, she would drag down the woman he cherished the most with her. She definitely wouldn't let him have a happy ending.

Ji Man resolutely covered her stomach. This little treasure, she definitely wouldn't allow it to be harmed again by anyone.

However, as Gancao and Dengxin had predicted, Wen Wan didn't serve Nie Sangyu in an attentive and thoughtful manner.

Looking at Nie Sangyu's somewhat fatigued face, Old Madame frowned and asked, “What's wrong?”

Ji Man smiled and shook her head. “It's nothing. I just haven't been sleeping well recently. When I wake up at night, there isn't a servant to serve me, and I almost fell over last night. It made me feel worried, so I wasn't able to sleep well.”

“How can this be okay?!” Old Madame angrily said, “Have all your personal servant girls died?”

Standing by the side, Wen Wan trembled when she heard Old Madame's angry voice. She stepped forward and said, “This servant is still serving Madam.”

Old Madame glanced at her and sneered. “I was wondering who would dare to be so audacious and not serve her master. So it was you. Then, this matter isn't strange at all.”

Wen Wan smiled. “This servant has never been good at serving other people. Madam is the one that insisted on keeping this servant by her side. This servant also feels very helpless.”

Look at that. The female lead is grievously suffering.

Old Madame looked at her in askance and said, “What's the point in keeping a servant that doesn't know how to work? I might as well send you away sooner rather than later. Xuan-er happens to not be at home today, so I'll decide this matter. How about I bestow you to Butcher Zhang, the one at the nearby street corner?”

Wen Wan straightened her back, “This servant is the marquis's woman.” Old Madame was definitely just trying to scare her. There was no way she would actually go through with this.

Old Madame scoffed. “All of the women in this household belong to the marquis. It seems that no one has taught you the rules, so you're acting increasingly without any sense of propriety. Shouwu, call for people to tie her up and deliver her to Butcher Zhang.”
