Chapter 270 – Who had flagrantly cut in? (1)

Ning Yuxuan look at her with a very deep gaze, but after glancing at her one more time, he closed his eyes. "En."

Feeling confused, Ning Mingjie drunkenly laughed. He shakily stood up. "It's about time for me to go to the bridal chamber. Sangyu, take care of Yuxuan for me."

Ji Man nodded. She helped Ning Yuxuan stand up, then they went outside, and she called for the carriage driver.

"What's a light bulb?'

"..." Sitting in the carriage, Ji Man resisted the urge to smack the person in her arms unconscious. Rubbing her temples, she answered, "It's just a sky lantern.

(T/N: Below is a picture of sky lanterns.)

Ning Yuxuan pursed his lips and asked another question, "What's a computer?"

"It's a pig's brain that's being cushioned by a chopping board." Ji Man lowered her head to look at him. "My lord, you're drunk. Doesn't your head feel woozy or uncomfortable?"

(T/N: In Chinese, the literal translation for computer is diànnǎo electrical brain, and the Chinese words for electrical and cushioned are homophones.)

Marquis Moyu paused, then he closed his eyes and said, "I feel very uncomfortable and very woozy."

"Then, why are you still asking so many questions? This servant thinks you should be peacefully resting." Ji Man switched the hand that was cushioning his head.

Ning Yuxuan rubbed against her hand a few times, said, "en", and really did go straight to sleep.

Fortunately, he didn't vomit or cause a fuss after getting drunk. Ji Man brought him back to Feiwan Courtyard to rest, and their night passed just like that.

However, something horrible was happening while they were sleeping.

The next morning, when Guibai came into the room to report, he pushed open the doors without knocking or asking permission to enter. There was a rarely seen panicked expression on his face. "Master, something bad happened in Ning Residence."

Ji Man had been about to leave her bed to put on her outer robes when Guibai burst into room. Marquis Moyu pushed her back under the quilt.

"What happened?"

"... Last night, the third prince had gotten drunk and stayed over at Ning Residence. For some reason, the bride had gone into the wrong room, and ended up with the third prince. They..."

It was probably because there was a woman in the room, so Guibai didn't complete his sentence, but Ji Man still ended up accidentally knocking her head against the bed in shock and getting a big bump.

Marquis Moyu's expression was very ugly. He was stunned into silence for a long time before he murmured, "How could that have happened?"

Prince Gong's daughter was the third prince's younger cousin. Under a circumstance where he knew her identity, it would be impossible for the third prince to do something like that. He wasn't an idiot.

Ning Yuxuan didn't have time to wait for Nie Sangyu and went to Ning Residence by himself.

After Ji Man had put on the rest of her clothes, tidied up the bed, and waited for a bit, she got into a carriage by herself and chased after him to Ning Residence.

What had happened was beyond preposterous. This marriage had been a perfectly, happy event, and it could also be counted as Prince Gong extending an olive branch to the third prince, but such a ridiculous mistake had occurred and ruined it.
