The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 127: Unaware that she's already involved

This answer to this question was directly related to whether or not she could return to her time. It was true that she had gotten used to an ancient person's lifestyle after staying here for so long. Wasn't it just going to sleep a little bit earlier, not having any nightlife or computers and other electronics, and competing back and forth with a group of women to pass the time? When she looked up or down, she would see antiques. There were also several servants to attend to her every need. Her life wasn't too boring here.

Still, she wanted to go back. There were uncompleted reports and sales that were waiting for her to complete. There were novels and dramas that were waiting to be enjoyed. There was also a substantial year-end bonus waiting for her. She could use the bonus to buy her parents a few expensive household items to show filial respect. She had been here for so long. How much time had already passed in the modern world?

Feeling a bit depressed, Ji Man sighed.

Ning Yuxuan suddenly hugged her tighter. It was only for a moment before he relaxed his hold. His steady breathing seemed to indicate that he had already fallen asleep.

Ji Man raised her head to look at him. This was a man that Nie Sangyu had continued to love despite losing her life. Compared to when he was awake, his sleeping face looked a lot more lovable.

The next day, hearing that Old Madame had awakened, Ji Man hurriedly brought Xia-shi to pay respect to her. After holding Xia-shi's child and repeatedly saying, "hao", Old Madame fell unconscious again. She had only been awake for several minutes this time.

And so, with a calm expression, Ji Man announced that Xia-shi's baby's childhood nickname would be Haohao.

(T/N: Hao means good, well, etc.)

Xia-shi was slightly dissatisfied with this odd name. But, Ning Yuxuan wasn't opposed to this name. He placed his hand on her shoulder and comfortingly said, "It's just a childhood nickname. When he's one year old, I'll personally give him a name."

Wen Wan was standing by the side. Her eyes were slightly red.

Ji Man thought; if she was reading this in the original novel, then this would be the portion where the female lead is being tormented. The male lead had brought back an illegitimate child and had shifted his feelings to someone else. The author would be able to write several pages about the female lead's emotional response and masochistically recalling old memories.

Once again, Ji Man was faced with the seasonal problem of allocating resources such as charcoal for brazier, clothes, and food to each courtyard. Since several courtyards now had babies, Ji Man had to allocate more to those courtyards. Since Xia-shi's baby had been added into Ning Clan's genealogy record as Ning Yuxuan's oldest son, Ji Man naturally had to allocate slightly more items to Cailian Courtyard.

As for Xia-shi's status, there were already too many people in this household that were discontent with Xia-shi, so Ji Man didn't dare to give her a status that was too high. She reluctantly gave Xia-shi the status of an ordinary concubine, a position that was below Liu Hanyun and Muxu.

News arrived from Qian Residence that said Qian Lianxue had gotten so sick that she was on her deathbed. To give Qian Yingchen face, Marquis Moyu decided to go to Qian Residence to visit her.

Ji Man grabbed Ning Yuxuan's sleeve and said with a smile, "This servant should go too."

Ning Yuxuan didn't refuse her, and the two of them went to Qian Residence in the same carriage.
