The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 180: Mistaken as a pond fairy?

There was a thumping sound as her head knocked against the inside of the carriage. After she was tossed into the carriage, the servants boarded the carriage too and blocked the way out. The carriage flew down the street and away from the marquis's estate.

Clutching her head, Ji Man looked at the person in front of her and said, "There's no need to be so rough. I'll cooperate."

Where was Liu Hanyun sending her? She probably wouldn't dare to kill someone. At worst, the carriage would be driven to a distant place, and she would be told to not return. Thinking of it like that, she relaxed. This worked out perfectly. Liu Hanyun could be considered to have helped her out by giving her an excuse for not being available to send off Zhangjun Prince when he left the capital.

During the carriage ride, Ji Man remained very calm as she sneakily transferred the money she had on her into her boots. She was a very well-behaved captive that stayed leaning against a corner of the carriage. Her gaze was blank as she watched the servants.

It was late, and Ning Yuxuan was about to go to sleep when a servant girl came over with the bag that Ji Man had given her.

"Teacher Ji told this servant to bring these items over to Your Lordship," the servant girl said, "and said that he was going out with Madam."

Going out with Liu Hanyun? Ning Yuxuan paused before taking the bag and opening it. It was the concentric knot items they had bought while walking around the market back then.

What was she trying to tell him? Ning Yuxuan chuckled. She had actually kept these unremarkable items. He had thought that he was the only one being foolishly sentimental. Why would a woman that would go as far as to steal his signature seal keep these mementos?

"My lord, do you want to go over there to visit Teacher Ji? "Guibai quietly asked.

"Why would I go over there?" Marquis Moyu lightly tossed the items down by his bedside as he got into bed. "Isn't he terribly clever and capable of scheming against anyone? He'll naturally have his own plans."

Guibai nodded and obediently extinguished the lamps in the room.

"Wait," Ning Yuxuan called out in low voice.

Guibai turned his head and questioningly looked at his master in the dark room. "Yes?"

After a period of silence, Ning Yuxuan threw back his covers. "Let's pay a visit to Linghan Courtyard. I haven't seen Xi-er in a while."

"Understood." Guibai felt as if his master had been very capricious lately. Anyways, he just needed to listen to orders. It was fine if he didn't understand these complicated matters.

Liu Hanyun hadn't gone to sleep yet. She was holding and waiting to hear the news. She had originally wanted to finish this matter once and for all, but she wasn't clear on this teacher's background, so she couldn't silence him permanently. She could only send him away as far as possible. If someone blamed her for this matter, she would just pretend to not be aware. The heir had already monopolized the marquis' attention. No matter what, she couldn't allow a man to come here and muddy the situation further.

Ning Yuxuan entered the room and was slightly surprised to see her. "Yun-er, you already came back?"

Liu Hanyun was initially startled to see him here, but her surprise was quickly replaced by joy. Holding Xi-er, she went forward to greet him. "My lord, why are you here? Why are you saying that? This servant has been in the estate all day and hasn't gone out at all."
