For a period of time, with the exception of Gancao and Dengxin, the other servant girls in Feiwan Courtyard were all Wen Wan's dowry servants. Ji Man assigned them to serve Wen Wan, as well as doing some unskilled labor.

Wen Wan couldn't understand Nie Sangyu's actions. Why had she done this? But, now that she was surrounded by her own people, it was easier for her to do the things that she wanted. She felt that life had become much more comfortable.

As a result, Marquis Moyu praised Nie Sangyu. Actually, he had looked at her with slanted eyes and said, "you're being surprisingly kind-hearted." But, Ji Man took the initiative of reinterpreting his commentary as praise.

When members of Nie Clan came over for a visit, Ji Man brought Gancao and Wen Wan to the main hall with her. Tanxiang also followed after Wen Wan.

Nie Xiangyuan looked at Wen Wan and said, "It's certainly interesting to see a master that's not a master and a servant that's not a servant. I'll have to thank Miss Wen for taking care of Sangyu."

(T/N: Just in case it was too long ago, Nie Xiangyuan is Nie Sangyu's father.)

These words were neither criticizing her nor praising her. As a result, it wouldn't be appropriate for Wen Wan to agree or disagree with him. She could only pitifully look at Marquis Moyu.

However, Marquis Moyu was currently speaking with Nie Qingyun, and Ning Errong was deliberately standing in front of Ning Yuxuan to block his view. Errong turned around and tauntingly scrunched up her face into a weird expression that was directed at Wen Wan.

Wen Wan secretly gritted her teeth.

After Old Madame exchanged conventional greetings with Nie Xiangyuan, she praised Nie Sangyu for several sentences. Then, she turned her head and reproached Ning Yuxuan for treating Sangyu a bit coldly lately.

"Hasn't this son been frequently going to Feiwan Courtyard?" Ning Yuxuan showed a fake smile.

Old Madame's expression was calm as she darkly glanced at Wen Wan. Wen Wan hurriedly lowered her head.

Ning Errong blabbed, "Isn't cousin just taking advantage of Sangyu's good nature? You go to her courtyard to favor another woman. Isn't that worse than just giving her the cold shoulder?"

The news of Wen Wan's matter had already spread to Nie Residence. Errong felt this woman was utterly detestable. Wen Wan always had an delicate appearance, as if she would break with a single touch.

Wen Wan's body lightly trembled.

Ning Yuxuan frowned and looked at Ning Errong. "Errong, you're already a married woman. Why have you become even more unruly? Has Qingyun been spoiling you too much?"

Nie Qingyun faintly smiled, stretched his arm out, and tugged Errong down onto his lap. "Errong just has a frank personality. As her husband, it's only natural for me to spoil her. Qingyun is happy to watch over her and take responsibility for her actions. She acted impolitely. Qingyun will apologize on her behalf."

Ning Errong's face turned slightly red. She cleared her throat a few times before quietly leaning against Nie Qingyun's chest.

Ji Man silently ridiculed them; this was definitely an unnecessary, blatant display of mutual love. Still, she felt quite happy for them. It seemed that their relationship was progressing well. If they continued like this, they definitely wouldn't get divorced in the future.

Old Madame felt very touched by Nie Qingyun's words. "Aiya, Qingyun is a good child. Errong didn't marry the wrong person. If a person doesn't even know that he should cherish his own wife, then how could he possibly have a promising future?"
