The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 161: Let's start anew

Ji Man lightly leaned against Ning Yuxuan's chest. The corners of her lips were curved up.

Since ancient times, even a hero would be weak against the charms of a beautiful woman. As long as your bedroom skills were good, all men would fall at your feet... Wait, no, that's wasn't the right idiom. It should be, as long as you could correctly guess his intentions and thoughts, you could accomplish anything.

Ning Yuxuan was really treating her like an idiot, ah. After Nie Clan had been completely obliterated, did he really believe that she would still want to obediently be part of his harem?

Her fingers softly slid down and opened his outer robe. Ji Man raised her head and kissed his lips. She closed her eyes and stuck her tongue out.

Probably because he wasn't used to her taking the initiative, Ning Yuxuan was slightly stunned for a moment. Afterwards, he allowed her to push him down onto the bed.

The rain gradually stopped, and the water falling from the eaves and onto the paved ground slowed to a drip. After a round of love, the feelings between the two people in the room seemed to have grown stronger.

Draped over Ning Yuxuan's chest, Ji Man twisted a lock of his hair and asked, "My lord, can you say, I love you?"

Ning Yuxuan chuckled. He closed his eyes and said, "I won't say those three words."

Don't think about leaving.

Once she recovered from her shock, Ji Man very unhappily pinched his face. "Cheapskate."

Marquis Moyu let out a small snort of laughter. He gripped her chin towards him and gently kissed her.

When Ji Man woke up the next morning, she heard Guibai's voice coming from the hallway. He seemed to be standing by the doors to her room. He reported, "Madam, you can continue your journey without worries now."

The person by her pillow-side had already left a while ago. After Ji Man finished dressing, she boarded the carriage with everyone else. Before she left her room, she had noticed that someone had put a small bag inside her packed bundle. When she opened the bag, she saw that it contained two worthless trinkets: a concentric knot accessory and a ring made of concentric knots. She softly smiled before stuffing the small bag back into the packed bundle.

Guibai escorted them for a long distance before turning back to return to the capital. Everyone had changed into commoner attire by now. When they stopped at a tea stand on the way to their destination to take a break, they overheard people gossiping.

"I heard that two carriages with passengers had fallen off a mountain path yesterday."

"Those carriages were so high up the mountain when they fell. There's no way they're still alive now. I heard those three carriages belonged to Marquis Jingwen's daughter. How fortunate that only the two of the three carriages fell off the mountain path."

"Who were the people riding in the fallen carriages?"

"I don't know, but I heard that the Marquis Jingwen's daughter has stopped at a nearby village. Heh, do you want to go over there and see what she looks like?"

Errong listened with her head lowered. Next to her, Nie Qingyun looked at those people for a few seconds before paying for their tea and leading them back to their carriage to continue on their way.

As expected, the second prince had no intention of letting them off. Fortunately, Ning Yuxuan had helped them. Otherwise, they would have been the ones that fell off that mountain path.

Once he heard the news of their deaths, Zhao Li probably wouldn't concern himself further. After all, he was currently busy with thinking of ways to ascend to the throne and didn't have the free time to concern himself with other matters.
