"You've already followed me here. Why are you saying this now?" Xia-shi coquettishly pouted. Tugging on the lapel of Ji Man's robe, she said, "I'm a widow, and I don't care about my reputation. When I was at that rich person's place, I didn't dare to make a wrong move, so it's been so long since I had a taste of being ravished."

Ji Man grabbed her hand and nervously laughed. "Older sister, there's no need to hurry. I'm kind of curious. What kind of place did you go to? Since it was a rich household, what caused you to become so upset over it?"

Time hadn't been able to rub away Xia-shi's innate rustic demeanor. After taking a few breaths to calm herself, Ji Man looked at Guibai and made her voice lower-pitched as she said, "I'll have to rely on you to help me to a nearby doctor's clinic then."

Guibai nodded and supported Ji Man into the carriage. Then, he went to work on removing the nails from the horse's horseshoes.

At that time, Zhao Zhe really had someone hand her a brush and paper so that she could paint. With her lips twitching, it took Ji Man a long time to explain that a blueprint wasn't a type of painting.

There was no one with the surname Nie anymore, so she was no longer a threat to Zhao Zhe. On the contrary, Zhao Zhe had repeatedly wanted to kill her because he thought she was too clever. But now, her intelligences could be used for his benefit. Why wouldn't Zhao Zhe accept her offer to help him?

Chapter 318 – Is she gone forever? (1)

In the first year of the new emperor's reign, Marquis Moyu continued to hold power over the Six Ministries. Above Ning Yuxuan were Prime Minister Xiao Tianyi and Xiaoren Dowager Empress, and below him were officials from Xiao Clan. And so, Zhao Li's daily life wasn't going that smoothly. Still, the new emperor had a very good relationship with his empress, which guaranteed his alliance with Yuzhen. Thus, his position as the emperor was still very stable.

(T/N: Just in case it was too long ago, Xiaoren Dowager Empress's maiden clan is Xiao, and she's also the first prince's mother.)

During the following days, Kangyuan Junzhu and Ning Mingjie stayed at Marquis Jingwen's estate. From time to time, Kangyuan Junzhu would come by Errong’s courtyard to chat with her. Watching from the side, Ji Man though this junzhu, who was gentle without being too delicate and spoke sensibly, was a pretty good woman too.

The only problem was that Ji Man would encounter Ning Mingjie from time to time when she was walking in the garden or even when she was in her own courtyard. Whenever this happened, he didn't say anything and just quietly looked at her. But, there were too many lingering emotions in his gaze. Even thought he didn't say anything, the servant girls that passed by could see that there was something off.
