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
Hearing the familiar voice, Madam Ling sobered up suddenly and looked out of the crowd with a pale face. The crowd parted and Ning Zu'an, together with Ning Xueyan, Ning Ziying and Xia Yuhang, appeared behind the crowd in a hurry. Ning Xueyan, Ning Ziying and Xia Yuhang came across Ning Zu'an as he was hurrying to Buddha Hall. Lanning showed up halfway and stood beside Ning Xueyan. Before they arrived at Buddha Hall, they already heard Yu Lian's shrill screams and cries pleading for Ning Zu'an from time to time, as well as Madam Ling's crazy roar. They could tell without looking that Madam Ling was punishing Yu Lian. Because of what had happened the past two nights, Ning Zu'an also felt sorry for Madam Ling. Hence, in respect of Madam Ling, he did not report it to Madam Dowager for the time being, letting her resolve this on her own. If Madam Ling was magnanimous and agreed to promote Yu Lian as a concubine, Madam
After hearing what Ning Zu'an said, Madam Ling stiffened at once and really was in panic! She had been with Ning Zu'an for so many years, and had never been so reprimanded by him. She hastily cried while covering her face, "Marquis... I, I was so fool for a moment that I... marquis, I, I did that because of you. I really love you, so that I..." As soon as Madam Ling spoke, Ning Ziyan felt bad. She wanted to remind Madam Ling, but it was too late. Seeing that, Ning Xueyan showed a bit of irony on her face. Madam Ling was so smart, but lost her head when she saw Ning Zu'an protect Yu Lian. Her words proved that she had deliberately beaten Yu Lian just now and deliberately said the reason was Ning Huaiyuan so as to pass the buck. If things like that happened again, Ning Zu'an would certainly really dislike Madam Ling. Yu Lian was very clever at this time. She interrupted Madam Ling and wrongly said, "Marquis, don't b
The sudden voice shocked Ning Ziyan. She looked back, and saw a man in a light blue robe and a snow white fox-furred cloak walking along the road, followed by two young male servants. His black hair was tied up with a hairpin. He was handsome and elegant and had endured the hardship of a long journey. "Brother!" On seeing the comer, Ning Ziyan jumped up excitedly, eyes brightening. The man walking to them was her brother, the Eldest Young Master of Lord Protector's Manor, Ning Huaiyuan. Ning Huaiyuan said to his sister with a smile on his face while looking at her, "Sister, I didn't come back when you got married. I'll give you a gift as my compensation!" Then he said to Xia Yuhang, "Yuhang, sorry for my absence!" Ning Huaiyuan and Xia Yuhang had known each other since childhood, and studied together later. They were very familiar to each other. Xia Yuhang and Ning Ziyan's marriage was held in a hurry, so Ning Huaiyuan did not
In Ning Huaiyuan's room, Ning Ziyan asked with a gloomy face, "Brother, why don't you mention mother anymore? If you put a good word for mother, she would be released." Just now, she was stopped by Xia Yuhang who warned her not to interfere in the affairs of the Lord Protector's Manor by great strength. A woman had to obey her husband after getting married. And Xia Yuhang had been neither enthusiastic nor indifferent to her, so Ning Ziyan dared not disobey Xia Yuhang. Xia Yuhang had left first, and there only were Ning Ziyan and Ning Huaiyuan in the room now, so Ning Ziyan straightforwardly asked Ning Huaiyuan, ignoring taboos. She believed that her brother was also concerned about mother, otherwise, he, who had always been courteous, would not go to the Buddha Hall first instead of greeting grandmother first as soon as he heard that something had happened to his mother. Ning Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Sister, how are you and Yuhang doing recently?"
