The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Following(8)

Later that day, she was at old madame's place for dinner. Ning Yuxuan and Wen Wan were also there. Wen Wan was still showing a pure and harmless smile, but Marquis Moyu's expression had blackened. He was probably in a bad mood because he knew what Wen Wan had done.

Ji Man happily watched the show. While she picked out all of the shredded meat in the dish in front of her, she secretly watched the interactions between them.

The female lead absolutely had no intention of paying attention to the male lead, but she said a few sentences to Ning Mingjie. Old madame was still at the table. Wasn't this behavior simply seeking death?

Old madame didn't like Wen Wan to begin with. Seeing her son grimace with displeasure, her attitude towards Wen Wan only worsened.

Old madame put down her chopsticks and looked at Marquis Moyu as she said, "Shuiqing is almost three months pregnant. Since the main wife hasn't give birth to a child, it would still be good if the concubines gave birth to children. This way, I can have grandchildren to hug. If Shuiqing gives birth to a boy this time, I think you should promote her to an honored concubine. After all, the most unfilial act is being unable to produce offspring."

Wen Wan's face paled. Her recent smile completely disappeared without leaving a trace. She turned her head to look at old madame and initially wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words and lowered her head to continue eating.

Instead of disagreeing, Marquis Moyu indifferently responded, "En."

Wen Wan's expression became worse.

After dinner, old madame pulled Sangyu to her side. She wanted to speak with her.

But, Marquis Moyu surprisingly said, "I haven't finished listening to Sangyu's stories. Mother, give in to your son this time and let your son have her."

This was the first time that Ning Yuxuan acted close to Nie Sangyu in front of other people. Even Ji Man froze in surprise. But, when she turned her eyes and saw Wen Wan's expression, she understood. This scumbag was just using her as cannon fodder. The role of the supporting male and female characters were the same. They were both used to provoke the male lead and female lead.

She was somewhat unhappy being used like this. And, her mood worsened when she thought about having to tell him stories again. Ji Man was smiling as she made a sound of agreement in front of Marquis Moyu, but her brows pinched together after she turned her head.

Wen Wan was seeking death by acting reckless, but there was no need to drag her into this mess. She was innocent.

Feiwan Courtyard.

Marquis Moyu was leaning against the side of the bed and his long eyelashes were lowered. His expression actually looked somewhat lonely.

After Ji Man untied her hair and freshened up, she sat down on the bed and asked, "My lord, what's wrong?"

Ning Yuxuan opened his eyes. He actually looked somewhat childish as he asked, "Sangyu, tell me. Who's better looking, me or Ning Mingjie?"

This... Ji Man secretly rolled her eyes, then she said, "The marquis's cousin has always hidden his face behind a mask, so naturally it's my lord that's better looking."

Hadn't Nie Sangyu previously said several years ago that in terms of appearances, Ning Mingjie resembled a piece of white jade more? But, she couldn't say these words. She was afraid that Ning Yuxuan would choke her to death in a fit of anger.

"If he took off his mask, then I won't be as good looking as him?"

She didn't know what was wrong with Ning Yuxuan. Why was he quibbling over a minor detail?
