"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
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
Seeing Ning Lingyun's smiling face, Ning Xueyan realized that someone had seen her when she was at Cloud Reflection Courtyard. Besides, the person was one of Ning Lingyun's old female servants. But it seemed that Ning Lingyun was too sensitive. How could she judge her to be 'pregnant' just because she retched a few times? "Fourth Sister, I don't know what you are talking about. But I wonder how you knew what happened in Bright Frost Garden," Ning Xueyan said. She stood up quietly and glanced at Ning Lingyun coldly. Since Madam Dowager had put down her chopsticks and was about to leave, they felt uneasy to sat there any longer. Hearing what Ning Xueyan said, Madam Dowager stopped for a short moment, but soon, she continued to go to the inner room. She had never liked Ning Lingyun. Thinking about what had happened to Ning Yuling and what Ning Xueyan had said, she hated Ning Lingyun more. As the daughter of a concubine, she had gone too far to
Ning Lingyun was sober-minded now, and she had never been so sober before. Her limbs felt as cold as if she were in an ice cellar. How could she be that stupid by thinking that she had gotten something on Ning Xueyan! She should have thought it over before taking action, because Ning Xueyan was smart and she wouldn't be easily caught. "Copy the Commandments for Women several times after returning to your place. You should always keep it in your mind that you are just a humble daughter of a concubine. Without the support of Lord Protector, you'll be a concubine at most!" Madam Dowager said coldly, narrowing her eyes. Madam Dowager showed no mercy when she spoke and she almost shamed Ning Lingyun to the utmost by belittling her position in the manor and warning her seriously. "Got it. I knew I should be blamed. I'll copy the Commandments for Women immediately. Grandmother, please forgive me." Ning Lingyun was ashamed, and she dared say nothing
"Xueyan, I'm so sorry! I thought, I thought you were... I wanted the doctor to diagnose for you just because I was afraid that it might be delayed if you weren't aware of it," Ning Lingyun said in anxious. She acted properly and looked as if she had cared about Ning Xueyan so much. Ning Xueyan looked at her quietly. She didn't speak until Ning Lingyun felt uneasy about showing any more anxiety in front of her. "Fourth Sister, do you think I'm so gullible?" Hearing that, Ning Lingyun was shocked. She raised her head subconsciously and found that Ning Xueyan was staring at her. Her heart went cold at the sight of the killing intent in Ning Xueyan's beautiful watery eyes. She turned her head away to avoid the gaze of Ning Xueyan. "Xueyan, I know I was wrong. I won't dare to do this again!" she stammered. Ning Xueyan knew Ning Lingyun wasn't lying to her. Ning Lingyun put it straight because she wanted to show her weakness. "It see
"Yu Lian must have played some tricks. Otherwise Qing'er wouldn't have been sent to Bright Frost Garden. It seems Yu Lian cares about her sister very much," Ning Xueyan said coldly. Before, everyone knew that Qing'er would have been safe if she was in Bright Frost Garden, because Ning Xueyan was the young master here, and even she had found that this maid was weak and unable to work, she wouldn't say anything. Moreover, Madam Ling, who was in charge of the whole manor had never liked Ning Xueyan, so she wouldn't care even if a maid missing in Bright Frost Garden, let alone a maid couldn't work because of her poor health. That was why Yu Lian had managed to send Qing'er to Bright Frost Garden. She was so smart that nobody had found this before. "What does Qing'er do every day?" Ning Xueyan asked lazily, narrowing her eyes. The sun outside the window shone on her body. She felt warm and a faint flush came over her cream-like face.
At the turning of a dead end at Bright Frost Garden, where nobody would come without any special reason, Qing'er was talking to someone tearfully. She wiped the tears from her cheeks with a handkerchief, and said sadly, in a low voice, "Sister, Concubine Ma doesn't like Fifth Young Lady, so she vented her anger on me. What will mom and I live on if they drive me away?" "Don't think too much. She can't even protect herself now!" Yu Lian said dismissively. She really detested Concubine Ma. Before First Madam was shut up in Buddha Hall, Concubine Ma had always trailed behind her, flattering her endlessly. Even the servants could not bear her bootlicking ways. "Why can't she even protect herself? Maybe she will be promoted to Second Madam after some time. Now First Madam is in Buddha Hall, and there is no any other madam managing the manor. Since marquis likes Concubine Ma so much, if he decrees it, she will definitely become a real master. If s
