The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 90: Poison that had been thrown away a month ago

Seeing that the female lead had already completed her transformation and was about to walk down the path to a happy ending, Ji Man decided that she couldn't just keep praying in front of a Buddha statue. She went to Old Madame and asked to move back to Feiwan Courtyard.

"Why would you want to go back. Your body..." Old Madame was very worried. This household hadn't been peaceful lately. What if something bad happened to her future grandchild?

Ji Man said with a smile, "If Sangyu doesn't go back, Wen Wan might usurp my place like a magpie. Since the marquis has decided to blame us for Wen Wan's poisoning, Sangyu has to go back to atone for this crime.

Old Madame looked at her for a while before saying, "If you go back to compete for favor at this juncture, I don't think anything good will come of it."

Ji Man shook her head. She wasn't stupid. She wasn't going back there to drop herself on someone's knife.

"Sangyu will wait for an opportune time. Old Madame, don't worry."

How could Old Madame not worry? Old Madame told Danggui and Shouwu to escort Sangyu back to Feiwan Courtyard and almost ordered the other servants to deliver the Buddha statue over there too.

(T/N: Just in case it was too long ago, Danggui amd Shouwu are Old Madame's personal servant girls.)

Ji Man had to refuse several times before Old Madame gave on these ideas. In the end, Ji Man only brought Gancao with her to Feiwan Courtyard.

Seeing that her master had come back, Dengxin was extremely happy. Standing at the entrance, she shouted, "Master!"

Ji Man slightly smiled. Holding Gancao's arm for support, she slowly walked to the entrance.

Just as Dengxin was about to run over to greet them, she was stopped by a servant girl that called out behind her, "Older sister Dengxin, the marquis is asking if the medicine has finished cooking yet."

Dengxin stopped walking. Rather angry, she turned around and said, "The medicine is in the backyard's stove. Why can't you get it yourself?"

Ji Man raised her eyebrows when she heard Dengxin's response. Once she entered the courtyard, she saw that the servant that had called out was Tanxiang.

Seeing that Nie Sangyu had come back, Tanxiang froze in surprise. No longer caring about getting Dengxin to bring the medicine over, Tanxiang rushed back to the side room at lightning speed.

Wen Wan's life as a servant was pretty comfortable. She even had a servant girl following after her to serve her. Wryly smiling, Ji Man pulled a resentful Dengxin over and asked, "Why are you so angry?"

Dengxin indignantly said, "Master, you don't know this, but that person in the side room is putting on airs as if she's better than everyone else. She's been demanding that this servant deliver soups and hot water and also attending to her for washing up. Whenever that woman doesn't eat, the marquis will blame this servant."

"Oh?" Ji Man glanced at the side room. "Aren't you my servant girl? When did you change masters?"

Dengxin clenched her jaw and whispered, "She's just a dog that threatens people by relying on her master's power."

The sound of coughing came from inside the side room. It sounded rather posturing.

Tanxiang came out, saluted Nie Sangyu, and said, "Madam, the marquis wants you to come inside."

Ji Man nodded, but then she turned around, went into the main room, changed her clothes, unpacked her stuff, and ate some snacks. After doing all of this, she finally heard Ning Yuxuan's voice from the outside.
