Chapter 144 Do You Think I'm So Gullible?
Last Updated:
2022-09-16 14:16:25"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

Madam Ling's face was livid and her look was ferocious. She pounded the table heavily and said, while gritting her teeth, "What? She accompanied marquis in the study last night?" Mother Chen rolled her eyes, and said angrily, "Yes. When I went out in the morning, the people in this manor were saying that marquis would promote Yu Lian to Concubine, after he comes back from the court." Mother Chen knew that Madam Ling had always protected Yu Lian. Besides, Yu Lian had promised Madam Ling that she would never have any relationship with marquis and would instead, serve the Eldest Young Master. Unexpectedly, Yu Lian had betrayed Madam Ling and seduced marquis as soon as Madam Ling entered Buddha hall. How could Madam Ling not be angry? "Bitch! She's a bitch. She makes me so mad! If I knew that was going to happen, I would have killed her." Madam Ling was so angry that she went around in circles, while gritting her teeth. Without her permission, h

Ning Xueyan understood, and immediately remained motionless. After a while, they suddenly heard the door opening again. Under the light, Ning Zu'an's face appeared strange and looked blue in color. After making sure that there was nothing unusual in the room, Ning Zu'an closed the door and left. "Do you want to know whose house this is?" Ao Chenyi's low and sophisticated voice drifted to Ning Xueyan's ear. "Whose?" Ning Xueyan nodded at once. She really wanted to know whose house this was. Ning Zu'an's behavior tonight, was very strange. This kind of behavior did not match his status at all. This time, Ao Chenyi directly answered, "It's your mother's. Your mother used to live here, when she was the Legal Wife." Was this Madam Ming's house? Ning Xueyan was silent. In her memory, she had been living in Bright Frost Garden all the time, and she thought that Bright Frost Garden was the place where Madam Ming had been

That was true. How could a daughter interfere in this kind of thing? Talking about that maid, Madam Dowager became very angry. She snorted and said coldly, with a gloomy face, "After Zu'an comes back, I'll ask him to take that undisciplined main to his study, to serve him. She'd better not live in Auspicious Clouds Courtyard." Although she disliked Madam Ling, she still thought that it was undisciplined of Madam Ling's personal maid to have sex with Ning Zu'an, at this time. As far as she was concerned, Yu Lian should be executed directly. But she was also afraid that it would arouse her son's anger. So she came up with a good way to keep everyone happy. She would not promote that maid to be a concubine, and would only regard her as Ning Zu'an's sex partner. "Sister, I think that is not a good idea. Madam Ling is in Buddha Hall now, and her courtyard is under no one's supervision. This should be remedied. Yu Lian is the first o

With Madam Dowager's permission, Ning Xueyan went out with Lanning. On the way, she encountered Concubine Xu, whose hair was disheveled. There was a red palm print on her swollen face, and her clothes were in a mess. It was clear how furious Madam Ling was, just now. Obviously, it was extremely inappropriate for Ning Xueyan, the younger generation, to stay to see what was going to happen. Her father's wife and concubine had competed and fought, something she could not interfere with. If she stayed to see what was going to happen, everyone would be embarrassed. One of the reasons that Madam Dowager did not allow Concubine Xu to come in just now, was because of Ning Xueyan's presence. So Ning Xueyan took the initiative to leave. She was so insightful that Madam Dowager and Madam Dowager Liu were satisfied. Madam Dowager waved her hand and allowed her to leave. However, Ning Xueyan would inevitably encounter Concubine Xu, who was

"She can visit my mother. My mother is angry now and even beat Concubine Xu who had nothing to do with this matter, not to mention her. She has to ask for my mother's forgiveness, and must neither fight back nor swear. The more badly she is beaten, the better it will be. She can also kneel at the entrance of Buddha Hall," Ning Xueyan gave a look at the sky and continued, "It's not early now, my father will be back soon..." The meaning of this remark was immediately understood by the three people present. Yu Lian was shocked by that. After she thought about it, a great ecstasy emerged from her heart. Yes, she still had a chance. "Marquis feels guilty about First Madam, mainly because he is not allowed, by First Madam, to be with me. But if I am beaten half dead by First Madam and kneel outside the Buddha Hall, how much guilt will he feel, then?" Yu Lian thought in her mind. After last night, Yu Lian clearly knew that Ning Zu'an was very inter

"Fifth Sister, do you know Ning Ziying who lived in Cloud Reflection Courtyard?" Xia Yuhang suddenly asked Ning Xueyan while staring at her keenly, studying her facial expressions. Ning Xueyan was confused at first, then smiled faintly and said, "Eldest brother-in-law, you also know Sister Ziying? I heard that she died the night before you got married. I wonder what she was depressed over and why she drowned herself in the lake. She died without a burial place! Alas, it's so terrible!" Ning Ziying drowned in the lotus pond. Watching the water stained red with her own blood, she suffocated to death. And the murderers were in front of her now. Ning Xueyan felt the blood gushing again and unaware of it, there was an ice-cold vicious look in her eyes. Then she bend her head slightly to hide the hatred. "Fifth Sister, grandmother already said that we mustn't talk about Sister Ziying." Ning Ziyan turned pale. Ning Xueyan looked up an

"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 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. It was later used to imprison Madam Ling for some time. Now that Madam Ling was dead, everyone feared that she was the ghost. It was said that Madam Ling was an evil woman when she was alive.

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
It seemed that at this point of the letter, the Empress couldn't continue anymore. 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
The news of Ning Zu'an's death shocked everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor. Even though the title had been passed onto Ning Huaijing, Ning Zu'an was the patriarch of the family. 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. Only she knew how difficult his life had been.Ao Chenyi was still young when he drew his elder brother's jealousy and suspicion. He was framed, imprisoned, and nearly died.

"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
