The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 157: Treasure what you have

When she had first supported Liu Hanyun up into the position of honored concubine, she did it in hopes of having a backup. Since the marquis protected Liu Hanyun and Liu Hanyun would feel grateful for her favor, then Liu Hanyun would be inclined to plead on her behalf if she encountered trouble later.

But, after Liu Hanyun had a child, her previous temperament in not competing and being content with her lot had changed, and she started to have conflict with Xia-shi.

Ji Man had a headache just thinking about this, but she still had go over there and resolve this issue.

Today had been a cold day, and Liu Hanyun had fallen into the garden's pond. When Ji Man arrived, Liu Hanyun's face was deathly pale. She was shivering underneath the quilt that was wrapped around her.

Looking bewildered, Xia-shi was holding Haohao and standing at the side. She kept mumbling, "It wasn't me."

The doctor withdrew his hand and said, "Mistress Yun suffered a fright, followed by a chill. Cook ginger soup for her to drink first before preparing her herbal medicine."

Ji Man turned her head and ordered Dengxin to carry out the doctor's orders. Then, she somewhat sympathetically looked at Liu Hanyun.

With chattering teeth, Liu Hanyun glared at Xia-shi and said, "Madam, she's determined to kill me. She deliberately pushed me into the water. Madam, do you believe me or not?"

Xia-shi hastily shook her head. "I was holding Haohao. Why would I go push her? She was the one that insisted on walking forward, squeezing herself onto the bridge, and falling into the water because she wasn't careful enough."

Ji Man rubbed her temples. "Could the two of you just stopping bumping into each other?"

Xia-shi innocently said, "I was just taking Haohao out on a stroll."

Standing at the side, Muyu said with dissatisfaction, "My master didn't push her. It's more likely that she wanted to push my master, but wasn't strong enough and ended up falling down herself."

Liu Hanyun's pale face became even paler. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply.

Once again, Haohao was involved. Ji Man didn't know how handle this matter. She wanted to protect Liu Hanyun, but Liu Hanyun had repeatedly been too blatant with her attempts. Ning Yuxuan wasn't an idiot. If this matter was to be fairly resolved, there wouldn't be a good outcome for Xia-shi either.

While she was hesitating on what to do next, Wen Wan had already dragged Ning Yuxuan over.

Pulling Ning Yuxuan by the hand, Wen Wan clicked her tongue and said, "I heard that something happened to Mistress Yun again. Day after day, there's no peace."

Ning Yuxuan walked into the room, sat down by the bed, and looked at Liu Hanyun. Frowning, he said, "Why do you look like this?"

Liu Hanyun opened her eyes. A glimmer of light reappeared in her eyes. "My lord."

"En, I'm here." Marquis Moyu held her hand, pursed his lips, and said, "You need to be more careful."

Somewhat stirred up, Liu Hanyun asked with trembling lips, "My lord, do you believe in Hanyun?"

Ning Yuxuan paused. He glanced at the nearby Xia-shi, then said, "You don't need to think so much. You should focus on getting better first."

Clenching her jaw and still holding Haohao, Xia-shi knelt down. "Since my lord is here too, I'll say it as it is. My lord, please have Mistress Yun let me and Haohao off. Haohao is so young, and I don't know anything, so I can't protect him well either. If something bad happens, then I'll have let down my lord."
