Chapter 133 The Lure of a Beauty
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The snow was falling, and melodious sounds of a zither wafted through the air. With a slight smile on her pretty face, a young lady wearing a pink dress totally immersed herself in the winter scenery. She slightly raised delicate hands. Her elegant figure and her graceful movements while playing the zither could touch others to their souls.
On the snow-covered path came two graceful young men.
The childe walked in front could be considered as handsome. But it was just that his eyes corners and the tips of his eyebrows slightly lifted, which made people feel a bit unpleasant upon taking a glance at him. Besides that, he looked indeed uncomfortable, and his face stirred with dull anger.
"Tell me, what is that crap? I don't know what my Grandmother was thinking. She actually let me marry such a crazy woman." At the thought of the fact that somehow he was going to marry Ning Yuling, Ao Xian, who was Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li, would c

Marquis of Ping'an arrived very late. Ning Zu'an could not wait long ago and let the servants serve the dishes. Ao Xian was Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li, and Wen Xueran was Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Min. Compared to them, Marquis of Ping'an was truly not so important. Therefore, they directly began to eat and drink without him. When they were in a good mood after a few drinks, Marquis of Ping'an rushed in. While wiping off the sweat on his head, he humbly apologized in embarrassment. Ao Xian himself was a dissolute rakehell, but he still disdained Marquis of Ping'an, who was old, stupid, fat and ugly. Ao Xian muttered a grunt as a greeting to him. And at this time, he remembered it seemed that the Fourth Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor would marry this ugly fat man in front of him. Suddenly, he felt injustice for the beautiful Fourth Young Lady. "The beauty is now in the hands of the beast!" "Why will suc

Screams also rang near the Lasting-fragrance Pavilion. The sharp screams attracted the attention of Ning Zu'an, who was wandering with Wen Xueran. Ning Zu'an frowned lightly. He followed the sound and made a turn. Just after a few steps, he saw a few maids and servants stand in front of the Lasting-fragrance Pavilion in mute amazement. "What happened?" Ning Zu'an asked unpleasantly. "Second, Second Young Lady, and, and Marquis of Ping'an are in..." Seeing Ning Zu'an, the servant could not even utter a whole sentence. "That's nonsense. Second Sister is in her yard. How can she be here?" From another path, Ning Xueyan popped up with her maid. She was stunned a little after seeing the servant. Then she put up a cold face and reproached. Seeing Ning Xueyan defend for Ning Yuling, Ning Zu'an nodded secretly in his heart. "Fifth Young Lady, it is really Second Young Lady... with, with Marquis of Ping'an..." When she hea

The door was closed, and suddenly they were cut off from the outside. Ning Xueyan stared steadily at Ning Lingyun with her eyes, which were as clear as water. Her mouth corners formed a slight sneer, and Ning Xueyan looked at Ning Lingyun as if she was looking at a clown. "Fourth Sister, do you also want Mother to see your look now? Will she agree that someone else did all this to you?" Ning Xueyan lifted her lips. She gave Ning Lingyun an ice-cold smile. "You... What do you mean?" Under her gaze, Ning Lingyun lost her temper from embarrassment. The delicate expression on her face was long gone, and she asked with hatred while grinding her teeth. Although Ning Lingyun did not know how Ning Xueyan escaped from the trap she set, she knew that her situation was not good. Ning Lingyun appeared strong outward, but she actually felt weak inward. Hence, in a fury, she could only shout out a question. Caiyun was scared silly long ago since she saw N

"Father, it was that b*tch Ning Lingyun who tricked me. She deliberately led me there. Otherwise, I was in good condition at that time. How could I faint in Lasting-fragrance Pavilion?" Tearfully, Ning Yuling explained with her sweet and charming face, which was precisely like that of Madam Ling. Now she looked as if she had suffered from injustice. What a delicate and touching lady! If it were at ordinary times, Ning Zu'an would definitely stand on the side of Ning Yuling. She was his most beloved daughter who was raised carefully by him and who as precious as peals to him. But now, he remained completely unmoved and looked at Ning Yuling with a gloomy face. His eyes were full of disappointments. He did his best to raise this daughter. At first, he thought that she could marry into the royal family and would possibly become the queen in the future. She could not even marry into an ordinary family because nobody would want to marry her with her stupid loo
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 138 The Weird Encounter in the Study
"Princely Heir, why are you still here at this time?" Ning Xueyan asked faintly, raising her head, who stepped back calmly to avoid the fan and was frightened, but her face did not show it. "Fifth Young Lady, why are you here at this time? Could it be that you know I'm resting here?" Wen Xueran asked instead of answering, with his beautiful amorous eyes glancing at her. He retracted the folding fan in his hand and circled it two times in a handsome way between his fingers. In terms of the appearance, it was really no one who could compare with Wen Xueran in this world. The beautiful face of him would even make women feel ashamed too. A beauty that overthrew states and cities that was what he should be! Plus the pair of amorous eyes which always seemed to be affectionate, few young girls would not be shy and blush when they saw his eyes. However, this Fifth Young Lady of Lord Protector, not only did not have the slightest shyness but even dis
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 139 Something Serious Happened
Early in the morning, the doctors rushed into Qingrong Courtyard one after the other. Although none of the servants in the manor dared to talk more openly, some news was uncontrollable. Something serious happened. Second Young Lady was disfigured. She was disfigured because First Madam beat her!The news was spread by the servants secretly. Nobody dared to talk about it loudly, but everyone said in private, "It's so strange. It's hard to imagine that First Madam's slap made Second Young Lady disfigured. It was so terrible..." Some people even said that Ning Yuling made trouble in Buddha Hall and offended deities so that she got retribution. Otherwise, she would not have been disfigured for no reasons. In Qingrong Courtyard, Ning Yuling threw away her mirror madly, crying with her broken heart. On the face that should have been extremely beautiful originally, red dense and convex rashes had erupted, forming into a p

Feeling something cold slipped past her earlobe, Ning Xueyan widened her eyes in surprise. She then saw a handsome face which was as delicate as being carved. The eyes on this face seemed to be emitting bone-chilly coldness. Ning Xueyan just found herself in the arms of Ao Chenyi, Prince Yi. His face was so close to her, as handsome and cold as Asura's. "Why is he here?" she wondered. Nobody told her that Prince Yi would visit the Lord Protector's Manor today. Normally, a man as powerful as he would be accompanied by a guard of honor group to come at least. How could she know nothing about his coming? She pushed Ao Chenyi away quietly with a flushed face. It was not the first time for Ao Chenyi to hug her. However, he had done this just for performing in front of others. Now since they didn't have to show, Ning Xueyan felt uneasy in his arms. "Prince Yi, why did you come here?" Ning Xueyan asked with a smile. She

"You saw Fifth Young Lady with a man?" Ning Lingyun asked excitedly, widening her eyes. "Yes, miss. That man is young and very handsome. Moreover, I saw Fifth Young Lady vomit holding a tree once; it looked like she was..." the older female servant paused and dared not to continue. Ning Lingyun was very excited. A man had taken Ning Xueyan out of the Lord Protector's Manor! Most importantly, she was about to vomit! She must have been pregnant! Hearing such a shocking secret about Ning Xueyan, Ning Lingyun couldn't control her joy. If not because of Ning Xueyan, everything would have gone smoothly as she plotted. Although she reached her goal finally, everyone in the manor looked down upon her. Thinking about this, she wanted to kill Ning Xueyan. She hadn't expected that if she had got her way, it would be a terrible disaster for Ning Xueyan. Because if that was the case, Ning Xueyan would have only committed suicide to prove he

"What will you do now?" Ning Xueyan had to take two quick steps to catch up with Ao Chenyi's pace. "Destroy the nine barbarian states alongside Wen Xueran?""No." Ao Chenyi raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously. "I'll negotiate with Wen Xueran."Confused, she repeated, "Negotiate?""The people of the nine barbarian states have always been different from those of the central plains. They're valiant and barbaric. For many years, they have wanted to invade us. If it weren't for the princes of Annan holding down the front, the nine barbarian states would have attacked us a long time ago. Annan troops have fought the nine barbarian states more than our troops did, and they have a better chance of winning too."Ao Chenyi said calmly. He didn't like the nine barbarian states in the slightest. If it weren't his father forbidding him from going to the faraway hinterland of the nine barbarian states, where death was almost certain, he wo

It didn't take long for Qingyu to return from the Lord Protector's Manor with a new piece of news. It was said that there had been a haunting in the prayer hall of the manor.Rumor had it that an older maid became ill from the fright of seeing a ghost.A long time ago, the Cloud Reflection Courtyard was said to be haunted too. No one dared to come close at that time, not even during the day. Even though the rumors died down later on, a few people who were deeply affected by the events said that the situation was still grave then.Therefore, even though only a maid had seen the ghost, the rumors spread like wildfire in the manor.The prayer hall used to be Madam Dowager's favorite spot.

Ao Chenyi was so close that his handsome face was all that Ning Xueyan could see, and he didn't look all that happy. Then, she realized that she had been holding tightly onto a strand of his black hair.She flung her hand and hastily released the strand of hair in her hand. She even caressed the hair on his temples with a wide smile. "Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up?"Ning Xueyan looked truly confused as if she really didn't know that she had grabbed Ao Chenyi's hair until it hurt."Playing dumb, huh?" he said coldly, frowning at her. His slender fingers reached out and lightly pinched the wing of her nose."Ouch!" Ning Xueyan held her nose pitifully. Her limpid eyes seemed glazed over as if brewing tears."Now you know it hurts!" Ao Chenyi's thin lips were curved into a smile. He was satisfied to see her not daring to voice her frustration.Ning Xueyan nodded firmly without

"Can you remember it now?" Ao Chenyi narrowed his eyes and knocked on their table with his slender fingers. His voice sounded a tad threatening."I… I really can't remember." Ning Xueyan felt like she had thought of all the possible answers but she was still coming up empty. She had no choice but to admit her fault."You really can't remember?" His beautiful eyes curved into a charming arc and his expression was sinister. Sure enough, this was a bad situation to be in. She didn't even hesitate to grab his hand with a bright smile on her tender face."Even if I can't remember, you can still remind me, right?" She knew it would pay well to cajole this man.Ao Chenyi wasn't polite with her either. He turned his hand over and pinched her soft face. His expression had improved considerably. There was a faint smile on his face as he asked, "If I tell you, can you really understand and remember what it is?""Of course I can!"
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 674 Madam Dowager Liu's Message

There were only tear stains on the paper, followed by wide empty spaces.Then, the Empress said how reassured she was that Madam Ming would be taking care of her newborn. Madam Ming would be a fine mother. She had also asked someone to watch over Madam Ming and the newborn. Their statuses in the previous dynasty had vanished like smoke. Time was always moving forward and the changing of imperial dynasties was inevitable.The only tragedy was the eternal separation of her from her husband, and of her from her daughters.The only reason she had written the letter was that she couldn't help herself. If she never said anything, her child would never know the truth. That would have been for the best. Yet, she couldn't accept this, so she would hand the letter to the person who would be looking after Madam Ming. If Ning Ziying's identity was revealed to the world one d
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 673 A Letter Within a Letter

Even without the title, he was still the most authoritative figure in the manor.Madam Dowager collapsed as soon as she heard the news of his death. She became ill and bedridden, unable to get up.Ning Xueyan couldn't leave the palace freely due to her status as the Empress. She sent Qingyu and Mother Han to the manor and had them inquire about Madam Dowager's health in her place. Mother Han returned to Prince Yi's Manor afterward while Qingyu entered the palace to report to Ning Xueyan.It was inconvenient for Mother Han to live in the palace because she had a son to take care of. Instead of entering the palace with Ning Xueyan, she stayed in Prince Yi's Manor as the housekeeper. Ning Xueyan was prepared to release her from the manor when the situation stabilized in
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 672 News from Ming Feiyong
"The Empress discovered a secret tunnel under Chenyuan Palace by accident. She never told anyone about it. She even killed the maid that discovered the tunnel with her and accompanied her in walking through the tunnel. In other words, she was the only one who knew about it," Ning Xueyan explained.This was the Empress' secret. To prove it, she used Yun Luoluo's incident as an example. When Ning Xueyan was drugged in Chenyuan Palace, the Empress wanted to take her to a room. There, a man would sneak into the palace through the secret tunnel.If Ning Xueyan woke up and discovered herself in disheveled clothes in the presence of another man, she would surely panic. To protect her secret, she would surely agree with whatever the Empress wanted. The Empress wanted to use Ning Xueyan to force Ao Chenyi into accepting his "affair" with Yun Luoluo.Unfortunately, Ao Chenyi had appeared all of a sudden. She didn't dare to do anything with him around, so

Ao Chenyi didn't try to persuade her this time. This had bothered her for so long that she would continue to suffer for it if she didn't cry it out now. He held her tighter and allowed her to wet the front of his robe. She didn't brawl. All she did was close her eyes and let her tears stream down her face. When her tears finally dried, she sat quietly in Ao Chenyi's embrace for a long time.It was so quiet inside the room that she could finally calm down.Her hands were being held so tightly in Ao Chenyi's hand that she could feel the callus in his palm. He was Prince Yi, the late Emperor's beloved prince who grew up to be the infamous Demon King. Those who mentioned his name would often be frightened and alarmed.

"It was and wasn't an accident. He could only blame himself. No matter what, he was the one who forced my hand and cornered me to this state. He ruined my everything. Him dying in my hands could be considered as his retribution."The Empress began to look calm again. She turned her head and stared at Ning Xueyan with a trace of sadness in her eyes. "I invited you here to ask you to let go of my family. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with my family. They're just a small and useless noble family. In exchange for their safety, I'll tell you a secret."Her voice had lost her previous agitation and anger, leaving only a sense of helplessness. She had never put any hope in her family. She thought that she would be able to help her people after gaining power but now that she was in trouble, she was worried that her family would be implicated and sentenced to death.She had resented her family countless times for marrying her off to the Empero
