Chapter 150 She Will Survive As Long As She Is Smart Enough
Last Updated:
2022-09-16 14:16:25With 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
Last Updated : 2022-09-16The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 155 Ning Huaiyuan Is Back
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?"

Ning Qingshan used to pick red plums for Madam Dowager. These days Madam Dowager mentioned it from time to time. She talked about the filial Third Young Lady Ning Qingshan, as if she was talking about her biological granddaughter. She spoke highly of her and also asked Ning Xueyan to clean the Foggy Courtyard. All the appliances were replaced with new ones, several of which were given by Madam Dowager. And that dazzling glaze screen given by Madam Dowager was Madam Ming's dowry! It seemed that not only Madam Ling, but also Madam Dowager privately took possession of Madam Ming's dowry, otherwise, Madam Dowager would not be so generous and send things to Ning Qingshan's Foggy Courtyard. Madam Dowager mentioned Ning Qingshan and red plums again and again. How could Ning Xueyan not understand that? So today she specially came out to pick red plums for Madam Dowager. Qingyu walked away while carrying the vase with the red plum in it

There were many gifts, including satin and clothing. Even there was a set of head-ornament of pearls. All of the gifts were placed on the table, occupying a whole table. "Fifth Young Lady, these are all sent by the Third Young Lady. These are for girls. Madam Dowager said that there are only you and Fourth Young Lady, so she asked me to send these gifts to your place. In a moment, the Fourth Young Lady will come, and you two can choose." Mother Qin said that with a smile on her face while pointing to the gifts on the table. Ning Xueyan picked up a piece of snow satin on the table, looked at it, and asked with a smile on her face, "Did Third Sister come back?" Such delicate and smooth snow satin was made in somewhere in the south of the Yangtze River. Ning Ziying grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, so she knew how precious this kind of snow satin was. Even in the place of production, most of it would be sent to the capita

"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. 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. Even in death, she might become a malicious ghost. The sit

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 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
