Chapter 47 Natural Body Fragrance
Nanny Xue didn't return home until three o'clock in the morning with Xibao in her arms.
Wen Ning took the child and saw that Xibao's pink little face was rosy from sleeping.
"Mammy..." She bit her lip, not knowing how to explain for a moment.
The nanny gently stroked the baby's soft hair, with a look of understanding on her face, "Is it the Marquis here?"
Once the conversation started, the awkwardness suddenly faded away.
In fact, the nanny has long been like a family member to her, so there is no need to hide anything from her.
"Yeah." She nodded slightly.
The nanny knew very well that her own Marquis was a man of such a temper that once he made up his mind he would not give in. He had been able to endure until now and only showed up, which showed that he had restrained himself to the extreme.
The nanny chuckled. "Being seen isn't such a bad thing. Xianglan just told me that several young men in the village asked her to find out about you. We used to tell them that your husband was out doing business, so we kept them away."
"I know you don't have any other thoughts right now, you just want to raise Xibao well. But as time goes by, they haven't seen your man yet. He didn't even show up when you gave birth to Xibao, which inevitably makes people suspicious. Now that a man has appeared, it just puts those people's thoughts to rest, and you can finally have some peace and quiet."
These words were not just to comfort the girl. There were indeed a few young men who came here under various pretexts, and their eyes were always on the girl.
After the nanny finished speaking, she muttered to herself: My Lord, I have done everything I could to say and do.
If there is a result in the future, it will be worth it for me to be an "accomplice".
Wen Ning felt her heart sinking. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Marquis anymore, but she had no other way to deal with him. She could only take things one step at a time.
When the nanny saw her keeping her head down and saying nothing, she suddenly remembered the scene where Ji Xianglan slapped her thigh.
She put her hand to her forehead and couldn't help laughing, "Miss, do you know what your sister-in-law Xianglan thinks the Marquis is?"
"Who is it?" Wen Ning looked up in surprise.
"Your uncle!" After saying that, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Ouch!" Wen Ning felt a burst of heat burning from behind her ears to her cheeks.
"Brother-in-law and sister-in-law? Sister-in-law Xianglan can only think of that!"
On the roof, a figure in black clothes, kneeling on one knee, was clearly outlined in the moonlight.
Above the black scarf covering his face, a pair of phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously, and there seemed to be cold stars flashing in his eyes, "Uncle!"
…
Xie Jinglan came very punctually in the next few days, so there was naturally no need for him to climb over the wall or through the window.
He doesn't want to be a cheating brother-in-law!
He is her man, and he can only be her man!
I don’t know if it’s because the ointment is so effective, or because it’s been applied by her delicate hands, but it’s so effective.
Xie Jinglan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why did he get better so quickly?
While applying the ointment, the two were so close that they could almost count each other's trembling eyelashes. Their warm breath brushed against their exposed skin, interweaving with the coolness of the ointment to create a strange tingling sensation.
Xie Jinglan lowered his eyes to look at the back of her snow-white neck that was faintly visible between her collars, and a faint fragrance escaped from the loose lapels.
He suddenly spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "You...changed the sachet?"
He had noticed this when he was "helping" Ning'er to clear the blockage. The fragrance on Ning'er's body seemed to be more fragrant, with an indescribable softness that made him want to smell it for a while longer.
"No, no, I haven't brought a sachet with me since I came to this farm."
"Then where does this fragrance come from?" His eyes swept over the soft hair on the side of her neck, and he sniffed it lightly at a distance within breathing distance.
Wen Ning's body trembled slightly, and her shoulders and neck shrank almost imperceptibly.
Speaking of sachets, I recalled the days in the Marquis' Mansion.
She hesitated for a moment and explained softly:
"My mother said I've had this body fragrance since I was born," she paused as she dipped her finger in the ointment. "Back when I was in the Marquis's mansion, Madam Li always suspected I had some rouge and powder on my body, and she thought I had some shameful intentions. She said some unpleasant things. I was afraid of causing trouble again, so I carried the sachet with me every day to mask the smell."
Maybe it was because she was feeding Xibao, she also felt that the fragrance on her body seemed different from before.
When the man heard this, he suddenly recalled the day when she first entered the Marquis' Mansion and the scene when Nanny Li scolded her harshly for "deliberate seduction", and he suddenly realized.
Thinking of the past when she was humiliated by Nanny Li, her eyes suddenly turned cold.
"If I had known this would happen, I would never have just kicked her out of the mansion. This treatment is actually too easy for her!"
Wen Ning knew he was referring to Matron Li, so she said softly, "Matron Li has already been punished. These things should be over."
Xie Jinglan nodded. "Come to think of it, if it weren't for her, I probably wouldn't have met Ning'er."
“…”
Wen Ning was speechless for a moment.
"It's actually a natural body fragrance." The man murmured in a low voice, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and a different kind of joy suddenly arose in his heart.
"The rash on the Marquis's body has almost disappeared."
After applying the ointment, Wen Ning helped him tidy up his clothes. "As long as you don't touch... don't touch wild hickory nuts again, the rash won't come back."
She was seen holding the gilded jade belt and fumbling around her waist for several times but still couldn't buckle it.
Xie Jinglan grabbed her flustered hands and moved her towards her waist.
"Here."
I was caught off guard when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back, pressing my whole body against his chest.
Today's gilded waist belt's hidden buckle was particularly tricky. She bit her lower lip and could only continue testing from behind her waist.
The man's arms were vaguely around her, and his slender fingers were slowly adjusting the rolled-up edge of his sleeves.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the next few days, so I won't be here. If you need anything, you can find me at the Xianfeng Courtyard behind the West City Posthouse."
With the beauty in his arms, he naturally wanted her very much.
If you insist on asking for it, you can get what you want now by using the original agreement as a pressure.
However, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to use some other means to make her fall into his arms.
The man had ulterior motives in his heart, and his emotions were in a state of confusion and indescribable.
Wen Ning finally touched the small hidden button, and with a "click" the waist belt instantly became snug.
When she realized what was going on, she thought she had misheard.
She was relieved that he didn't come.
She raised her eyes to look at him, then hurriedly lowered her eyelashes, "My Lord...is he stationed in the border town?"
If he was just passing through the border town on business, he would probably return to Beijing after staying for only a few days.
But if we are ordered to stay in the city, what will happen in the future?
Xie Jinglan suddenly leaned forward, smiling nonchalantly, "Ning'er, do you want me to stay here?"
She was secretly annoyed when she heard this. She was also confused. Why did she have to ask him in person?
I just need to ask Sister Xianglan and I will know who the general stationed in the city is.
"Where the Marquis is stationed is naturally a matter of the imperial court's dispatch and military affairs, and it is not for me to interfere."
He curled his fingertips in his sleeves and began to issue the "eviction order" again.
