The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 19: The honorable pestilence god is here

Ning Yuxuan's hand paused and the corners of his eyes slightly went up before he looked at her and said with a smile, "At the very least, you've been with me for six years. It's only natural that I'll feed you medicine, right?

Ji Man lightly nodded while thinking, en, so you do know that Nie Sangyu has been with you for the past six years. Why didn't you remember those six years when you were punishing her? If she didn't have strong willpower, she might not have been able to endure it and would have taken her last breath during that beating.

But, right now, those six years had nothing to do with the current issue. The problem was that she hated the taste of herbal medicine. Capsule pills were much easier to swallow down. Drinking this bitter concoction was simply asking for her life!

After Marquis Moyu had brought that spoonful of medicine to her lips, Ji Man hesitated for a long time before she finally took a deep breath and swallowed it down in one gulp.

Ning Yuxuan wanted to laugh when he saw her scrunched up face. While he stirred the medicine, he asked, "Why are you so afraid of bitterness?"

Ji Man couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes. Who wasn't afraid of bitterness? Anyone that could calmly drink herbal medicine like it was chicken soup wasn't human, okay?

After Ji Man finally finished the bowl of medicine with great difficulty, she had Muxu bring over a piece of candy. She sucked on the candy for a long time before the bitter taste of the medicine faded from her mouth.

"The doctor said you can't accompany me in sleeping." Marquis Moyu put down the bowl and spoke as if he was bestowing her a gift, "So, I'll go over to Wan-er's room to sleep, okay?"

Ji Man said with a smile, "This servant truly can't serve you in my current condition. My lord, you should go over to Madam's place."

Although she was smiling, she still had to show a suitable expression with her eyes. She deeply looked at the man with an unwilling expression that was full of grievances.

Marquis Moyu hesitated for a moment before saying, "You like wild roses, right? How about I have the servants plant some of wild roses in this courtyard tomorrow?"

Ji Man lightly nodded, "Many thanks, my lord."

She looked down. Her eyes still showed grievances.

He wanted to go to the female lead's place to sleep without worries? Sure, you can leave once your groveling satisfies me! While Ji Man silently criticized him, her outward expression became increasingly desolate.

Ning Yuxuan thought things over. He had come here to coax Nie Sangyu. He couldn't just give up halfway. He gnashed his teeth and said, "After you recover from your illness, I'll come to your room. Okay?"

Ji Man almost chocked on her saliva. She secretly pinched her thigh underneath the quilt. With her lips slightly twitching, she said, "Thank you, my lord..."

Why didn't she quit when she was ahead? She might as well have picked up a stone to drop on her feet. If he came back here, she would have to make herself sick again!

Marquis Moyu felt that Nie Sangyu was probably satisfied. If she still wasn't satisfied, then she was being insatiably greedy. Seeing that she looked very tired, he didn't want to continue staying here. He left Feiwan Courtyard in a pretty decent mood and he headed towards Qiangwei Courtyard.

The madams in other families did absolutely everything that they could in order to obtain their husbands' doting, but his wife was doing everything possible to make him bestow favor on other women. What exactly was going on in her head? As Ning Yuxuan entered Qiangwei Courtyard with a sigh, it happened to be evening. He could have good night's sleep here before having to deal with Nie Sangyu tomorrow.
