The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 141: The sky is filled with little stars

He just knew that when a woman came to his door, there would be something that she wanted. Marquis Moyu sighed. He didn't want to change Wen Wan's status. If he changed it, she would be unhappy if her new status was too low, but if her new status was too high, there would be no peace in his household.

A long time ago, a very long time ago, Ning Yuxuan had thought Wen Wan was someone that had the ability to manage his household. It was only later that he found out that merely liking someone wasn't enough for her to be a suitable person to share his life with. If a person was suitable... then it was possible for him to slowly fall in love with her.

Looking at the sky lantern that he had placed down in the corner, Ning Yuxuan's expression softened. He said, "Regarding the matter of your status, go to Madam. She'll decide."

An incredulously expression appeared on Wen Wan's face. "This type of matter... Does it really require her approval?"

"She's the matriarch of this family after all," Marquis Moyu said, "Moreover, no matter what your status is, it'll be the same to me."

Wen Wan felt rather wronged. Crying and laughing, she looked at him and said, "My lord, do you dare to swear on your heart that Wen Wan is the most important person in your heart?"

Ning Yuxuan paused.

"Are you hesitating?" Wen Wan widened her eyes and laughed. "You once said that you would protect me for a lifetime. Where did the person that said he wouldn't let me suffer any grievances go?"

"Wan-er..."

"Other people can't be blamed for saying that a man's words are the most untrustworthy ones." Wen Wan was still smiling as she retreated. Not even caring about Yun-er, she twisted her body and ran out of the room.

Ning Yuxuan continued to sit in his chair and only let out a long sigh.

"Master!" Dengxin ran into the room. In high spirits, she said, "Something funny happened today."

Ji Man was almost done with her embroidery of Wang Zhaojun. She glanced at Dengxin and asked, "What's so funny?"

(T/N: Wang Zhaojun is one of the four great beauties of ancient China.)

Covering her smiling mouth, she told her master what had recently happened in the study. She was still laughing as she said, "The servant girl that had been serving tea at the time is still laughing about it. Wen Wan had once been such a favored wife, but now she's just a servant girl without any status. And now, she even failed when she asked the marquis to change her status."

Ji Man paused. Her embroidery needle pierced the wrong spot and left behind a small flaw.

"Feeling change with circumstances." After sighing, she continued to embroider. "People have to work hard to maintain a loving relationship. If you don't work hard, then you can't turn around and blame someone for changing his or her feelings. After all, love is a fleeting emotion. Marriage requires both partners to get along with each other for a long time."

Not really understanding her master's words, Dengxin just nodded and smiled again as she said, "Master, it can be counted as you finally getting rid of resentful feelings. Back when Wen Wan had so grandly stolen master's position as the main wife, she probably never expected that she would fall to her current state."

Ji Man lowered her eyes and laughed. "Yeah, this world can only have main wives that aren't diligent enough. The other woman can always be defeated if the main wife is careful enough."

Although Dengxin didn't completely understand these words, she still thought that her master looked very impressive as she said these words.

Wen Wan naturally didn't have the face to come over and ask Nie Sangyu to change her status.
