The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 136: Is there a bit of green on your head?

Nie Chenyu's face paled. She pressed her lips together and didn't dare to say another word. Ji Man swept her gaze across the splendorous items in the room. This room looked more like the room of a main wife than the actual main wife's room. As she had expected, Chen-shi loved her daughter the most and hadn't been skimpy in using Nie Clan's money to stuff Nie Chenyu's jewelry and makeup boxes with expensive items.

It was just that Nie Chenyu's life was too comfortable and leisurely. She had never acted within the propriety of her status. No matter how high her status was within Nie Clan before she married, once she was married, she had to be content with her new station in life. If she kept acting as if was still in her previous position, it would make people feel very annoyed with her.

After bringing Doctor Li to Linghan Courtyard, Ji Man saw Marquis Moyu sitting by the bedside and holding Liu Hanyun's hand as he said, "It's my fault for being so incompetent and failing to take good care of you."

Liu Hanyun faintly smiled and said, "Hanyun has already been blessed enough in this lifetime. My lord, you don't need to blame yourself."

Stopping by the side to watch, Ji Man thought that Ning Yuxuan was truly talented in showing expressions of love. He could look at any women with a deeply affectionate gaze that said he would love you for a thousand years. What was he really feeling? Who was actually in his heart?

If someone said that his heart still had Wen Wan, Ji Man wouldn't believe it. Just from Wen Wan's current status, Ji Man could tell that Ning Yuxuan didn't have his original deep love for Wen Wan. Otherwise, he absolutely wouldn't be letting her remain a servant girl.

A new person replaced the servant that had been responsible for tending to the plum trees. Xia-shi continued to not be punished for her actions. Not only was Nie Sangyu protecting Xia-shi, even when the matter had been brought to the marquis's attention, the marquis had also sided with her.

Muxu couldn't figure it out. She wasn't a lowly servant girl anymore. She was an honored concubine that had a son. People were supposed to look up to her. Why did she still have to suffer being mistreated? Why wasn't anyone taking charge of the matter for her and punishing Xia-shi?

When Li Zixiu came to visit Muxu, he saw her sitting in her room with a gloomy expression.

In a low voice, Doctor Li said, "I have something that I want to say."

Luqiao tactfully left the room and closed the doors shut on her way out.

When there were only two people left in the room, Li Zixiu finally said, "My mother is very sick. She wants to see her grandchild. Find a time today and bring our child to see her."

Muxu wasn't happy with his request. "What if someone sees? Beside, when I brought Fu-er to visit her last time, your mother almost dropped him when she was holding him. I haven't even said anything about that to her."

Li Zixiu helplessly said, "My mother isn't very strong to begin with. At worst, just don't let her hold Fu-er this time. She's very old and only has so much time left to see her grandson. You can't be so heartless."

Muxu frowned. It was true that she didn't like going to that broken-down house. If she took Fu-er there too many times, he might get infected with a disease.

But, she was afraid of making Li Zixiu angry and could only unwillingly agree. "Alright, wait until after lunch. There will be less people walking around then. Prepare a carriage at the back gate."

There were only four people that knew who Fu-er's real father was. Other than Muxu and Li Zixiu, only Li Zixiu's mother and Luqiao knew the truth.
