The Dreamer in the Spring Boudoir

Chapter 184: Ancestor veneration ceremony

Haohao blinked, and the two pigtails behind his head waved back and forth. "I want to paint the sun."

"Why the sun?" Ji Man was smiling so big that her eyes closed.

"Because the sun covers the world. I'll be able to eat lots of candy." Haohao stretched out his little hands to gesture a very big circle.

Ji Man found his words and gesture very amusing. She rubbed her face against his little face. Even separated by a layer of fake skin, she could feel that this little fellow's skin was as tender as silken tofu.

Right after Ji Man walked through a covered corridor, they bumped into Liu Hanyun, who was holding Xi-er's hand as they walked. "Teacher Ji."

Ji Man put away her smile and stopped walking to call out, "Madam."

Liu Hanyun wasn't smiling. She looked at Haohao for a long time before turning her head to look at Ji Man. "Why do you insist on coming back?"

Ji Man chuckled. "This one is Haohao's teacher. It's only natural that this one will come back. Actually, this one wants to ask Madam, where were you planning on sending this one?"

Liu Hanyun had already heard that Marquis Moyu had kicked out the servants that had taken Ji Man away. Her expression was even more ill-intentioned than before as she looked at Ji Man. "I won't do anything if you stay within your role as a teacher. If you continue to have devious intentions of seducing the marquis, then don't blame me for being rude."

Ji Man nodded. Liu Hanyun certainly show sufficient attitude for a main wife. She was no longer someone that was unaware, and her demeanor had changed to one that was fitting a matriarch.

"This one understands." She really didn't have any intention of seducing the marquis. She was just a passerby. It wouldn't be good to leave behind too many feelings here. It was just that she sometimes had to play along in order to meet her goal.

That's right, she was just playing along.

After returning to her courtyard, she handed Haohao over to a servant girl to play with him while she returned to her room to manage her accounts. Her rice business was going very smoothly, and her income from it was also considerable. After paying the wages of Yan Buba and the shop assistants as well as transportation and store fees, her profit for this month was one thousand three hundred teals. Although it wasn't as profitable as selling cold cream, there was enough working capital.

It would soon be the ancestor veneration ceremony, and Wu Yong had sent her message about Zhangjun Prince's order. On the day of the ceremony, she had to think of a way to lead Marquis Moyu to Quyi Pavilion.

Quyi Pavilion was a resting spot on the way to the Temple of Heaven, so it wouldn't be difficult to lead him there. But, what was Zhao Zhe planning on doing there? Zhao Zhe wouldn't do something that wasn't useful.

Ji Man thought that Zhao Zhe was truly talented in using people. Why was he insisting on using her to deal with Ning Yuxuan? She had only come to Marquis Moyu's estate because she wanted to spend time with Haohao.

Actually, Zhangjun Prince probably still didn't trust her. When he had ordered her to steal the signature steal, he was just testing her sincerity. He was like a child playing house. Why would he possibly have such an urgent need to tamper with an official document? However, by the time that she realized this, it was already too late. He was already praising her to the high heavens for being able to handle assignments so well.

This time he wanted Ning Yuxuan to go to Quyi Pavilion. Could this just be another test? What could possibly happen just from resting at Quyi Pavilion for a bit?
