The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 79: You're a gorgeous and noble flower in the mortal world

Although he said the matter would be investigated, the hidden culprit wasn't found. However, as more time passed, everyone gradually forgot this matter. The only thing that changed was that Wen Wan would kneel in front of a Buddha statue every day and chant scriptures for her lost baby.

Ji Man had also sent Muxu to Nie Residence to find out how Errong and Nie Qingyun were doing. She didn't know if she had shot herself in the foot by using aphrodisiac drugs last time.

Fortunately, Muxu brought back good news along with a gift from Errong. Errong had sent over a handkerchief to express her gratitude. Since it was gratitude, it meant that nothing bad had happened. Since Errong and Nie Qingyun had slept together, they naturally had to be feeling closer to one another.

The signs of spring became more evident.

Ji Man yawned. She felt somewhat sleepy, but unfortunately for her, Marquis Moyu enjoyed tormenting her. He had invited a group of friends over to admire the flowers and paint them. As his main wife, she naturally had to come here to welcome his guests.

Right now, she was doing her best to keep her eyes open. Looking young and beautiful, she stood by Ning Yuxuan's side as she gracefully grinded ink for him.

There were several easels set up in the courtyard. Ning Mingjie, Nie Qingyun, the third prince, as well as Qian Yingchen were all here.

Ji Man felt something strange was going on. Didn't Marquis Moyu always claim that he was on the crown prince's side? Wouldn't the crown prince be angry when he found out that Ning Yuxuan had invited the third prince?

Ning Yuxuan was currently quietly painting a peony.

Ji Man found the time to sneak a glance at him. The peony he was painting looked gorgeous and rich. It was truly an earthly flower that showed extravagance and wealth. Then, she looked at the daffodil that Ning Mingjie was painting. It was simple, elegant, and pure. It was truly a flower that could exist in the lofty realm of celestial immortals.

Sure enough, people's hearts were reflected in their art. Ji Man disdainfully glanced at Marquis Moyu's painting.

"Are you unsatisfied with something?" Ning Yuxuan slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

Startled, Ji Man hastily responded with a smile. "Of course not, my lord's painting is the best."

It had taken so much effort to create the persona of a good woman. She couldn't let it be ruined like this. Ji Man gently brought a cup of tea to him and said, "My lord, please have some tea."

Looking at the woman that had recently become considerably obedient, Ning Yuxuan had a smile in his eyes. He took the cup and had a sip. "Today's tea is pretty good."

Ji Man was almost moved to tears, ah. She didn't know how brew tea very well. Every time she had made tea in the past, this great lord would say something disdainful. Now that she had finally received a compliment, it was worth her past attempts that sometimes ended with her dropping expensive high-grade teapots.

"But, there's a little too much water and not enough tea leaves. The water you used for the tea also tastes a bit strange. It's probably well water, right? Also, aren't these tealeaves from last year? Are you hiding the recently purchased tea leaves to be used for next year?" Marquis Moyu glanced at Nie Sangyu's gradually stiffening smile and finally comfortingly said, "Still, you must have worked hard on this."

Last year yourself, you insufferable lord! In her mind, Ji Man pointed her middle finger at him. Was he a delicate maiden or something? Why was he so picky and fussy? Really, he was unbearable!
