The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 200: A pair of purple jade, one thousand five hundred taels

Liu Hanyun clutched her handkerchief and seemed to have made a big resolution. "I was thinking. There aren't many people here to serve the marquis anymore. Originally, Qing-er was available to help out with serving the marquis, but her health has been poor lately. She's recuperating from her illness, so there's only this servant left. This servant also has Xi-er to care for, and the marquis doesn't come to Linghan Courtyard often either. Since Wen Wan has lost her memories, how about letting her out to serve the marquis? This way, the marquis won't stay out so often."

Ji Man was bewildered after hearing these words. Liu Hanyun was being so magnanimous, ah. It was already pretty good that she wasn't holding a grudge against Wen Wan for switching her son back then. But now, she was thinking of helping Wen Wan by letting her out and giving her the chance to serve the marquis again?

"Madam, you're this family's matriarch. Why are you asking this one this type of question?" Ji Man pursed her lips and said, "However, this one wants to offer Madam some advice. A person's heart is unpredictable. Even if you treat her well, she might not appreciate your kindness."

Liu Hanyun looked away. "I'm just worried that the marquis will bring other women home. At the very least, he once liked Wan-er. Now that she lost her memories, she's like a completely new person. If its possible, this servant wants to try it out."

What was that saying again? Even a prairie fire can't completely destroy the grass. Once the wind blows, the grass will sprout up again. Ji Man thought; Ning Yuxuan had once loved Wen Wan, and the tenderness he felt for her was out of the ordinary.

"Madam, you can decide this matter yourself. You don't need to ask this one."

Breakfast was brought over, and Ji Man picked up a bowl of congee and finished drinking it. Looking at the rays from the morning sun, Ji Man smiled and said, "Since this one happens to be here, Madam, can you bring this one to see Mistress Wan? We've known each other for so long after all."

"Sure." Liu Hanyun nodded, stood up, and led Ji Man towards Qiangwei Courtyard.

There were still flowers blooming in Qiangwei Courtyard. Wen Wan was sitting at the stone table in the outside courtyard and slightly smiling as she embroidered. When Ji Man stepped into the courtyard, Wen Wan turned her head. There was unfamiliarly in her eyes, but her gaze was very gentle.

"Madam?" Wen Wan put down her needle and thread and walked over to Liu Hanyun. Full of obeisance, she saluted, "This servant greets Madam."

After Liu Hanyun acknowledged Wen Wan's greeting and led Ji Man further into the courtyard, Ji Man stopped by the stone table and carefully looked at Wen Wan.

Wen Wan seemed to have changed into a new person after her failed attempt at hanging herself and losing her memory. Although she still looked weak enough that a gust of wind might blow her away, she was smiling very gently. She was wearing a white dress with a sleeveless yellow vest over it, and a rosy, red cloak was draped over her shoulders. She looked fresh and refined and had the appeal of a girl next door.

Ji Man had to admit that she was the one that destroyed Miss Wen's appearance back then. Wen Wan originally had a beautiful face, but it had been filled with resentment day after day, so it naturally got uglier and uglier. Right now, it seemed as if Wen Wan had let go of everything, so she was very comfortable to look at.

"This young master is?" Wen Wan looked at Ji Man with a doubtful gaze.

Liu Hanyun said, "This is the marquis's close friend, Mister Ji."

Wen Wan curtsied. Her eyes sparkled when she looked at Ji Man. "Is there a reason why Mister Ji has come over here?"

Ji Man looked directly into her eyes and slightly smiled. "It's nothing. This one just came over to look because it was on the way. This one will be leaving soon."
