Ji Man had originally been just watching this entertaining show. Hearing old madame's words, she was shocked and could only look at old madame with utter helplessness.
She knew that old madame meant well and was doing her absolute best to give her the position of the main wife. But, wasn't it a bit too inappropriate to say these words during this heated argument?
Marquis Moyu looked at her with unfathomable eyes, then he looked at Wen Wan. Wen Wan's face had already turned white and her lips were trembling. She seemed as if she wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say.
A long time passed before Marquis Moyu finally spat one word, "Fine."
Old madame smiled in satisfaction while Wen Wan incredulously stared at Ning Yuxuan. How could he do this? She had already tolerated so many women. And now, he was going to take away her position as the main wife? Although she was from a commoner's family, everyone had expressed their good wishes and care for her on the way here. Men had always treated her wholeheartedly. Why was Ning Yuxuan treating her like this?
Ji Man also had a hard time smiling and only quietly stood nearby.

Jinse wasn't an especially important person, but there was a huge commotion over this incident. Of course, it was true that old madame was using this incident as a pretext to make a fuss. However, no one would have expected for Ning Yuxuan to agree to old madame's suggestion.
Ji Man curiously glanced at him, but she was never able to tell much from looking at Marquis Moyu's face. She put away her interest and decided to take things step by step.
Ji Man had arranged for Jinse to stay at Qiushui Courtyard. It was slightly better than Zhiqiu Courtyard, but not that much better. Right now, the small courtyard was filled with a flurry of doctors. Old madame even personally went there herself. Supporting herself with Nie Sangyu's arm, old madame stood outside waiting.
It didn't take long before a servant girl came outside with a basin filled with bloody water.
Old madame disdainfully glanced at it, then she whispered to Nie Sangyu, "Your position is stable."
From the look of the water, it seemed that Jinse had miscarried. Old madame wasn't willing to stay here for long and she pulled Nie Sangyu with her as she left.
Ji Man still hadn't figure out Jinse's motive.

Inside her room, Wen Wan cried for a long time.
Tanxiang quietly comforted her, "Master, don't be so upset. As long as you're by the marquis's side, it's fine. Once you've given birth to a child, you'll definitely regain the position of the main wife."
"He doesn't like me anymore." Wen Wan sobbed. "Am I that type of person? Would I push Jinse into a wardrobe? That liar is clearly framing me."
"But... No one would think it's worth it for Jinse to exchange her child's life to frame you. That's why no one believes you."
Wen Wan paused in her crying. She raised her head and said, "I thought it was really strange too. Why was she willing to go as far as losing her child in order to frame me? How would this benefit her?"
"It doesn't benefit her, but it greatly benefits the person in Feiwan Courtyard." Tanxiang coldly harrumphed and said, "Look, she and Old Madame are eagerly hoping and waiting for Jinse to miscarry. Once Jinse miscarries, then she can snatch back the position of the main wife."
Wen Wan frowned. How could she have forgotten? Nie Sangyu was the shrewdest person in this household. At the beginning, Qi Siling had reminded her several times, but she hadn't listened to her. Now that she had calmed down and was analyzing the situation, she realized that Nie Sangyu was the one that was benefiting the most.
