Chapter 170 I Just Learned a Little from Grandmother!
"Grandmother!"
"Grandmother!"
The moment they entered the room, Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan bowed to Madam Dowager.
"Get up." The smile was back on Madam Dowage's face. She then introduced the old ladies beside her to Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan, and they bowed to these old ladies, with smiles.
"Madam Dowager, are they the granddaughters you have hidden away? How beautiful they are! You're so lucky to have two such fairy-like granddaughters!" an old lady in a brown garment said in admiration.
"Sure enough! Look at them! If I have just one granddaughter like them, she will surely be the apple of my eye. But you have two! Madam Dowager, you're really lucky!" another old lady in a blue garment with a slanting collar said in agreement.
On the whole, Ning Qingshan looked more outstanding than Ning Xueyan. Women looked their best at sixteen. Ning Qingshan was gentle and graceful, and her face was as be

"Third Sister, since you are so smart, how can you know only a little? It so happens that there is something I do not understand in the account books, can you give me some advice?" Ning Xueyan asked, with a smile. She spoke naturally, and Ning Qingshan almost forgot to reply. She blinked, and then she was overjoyed. She was just thinking about how she could make Ning Xueyan bring out the account books here. To her surprise, Ning Xueyan had put her neck into the noose by asking her to check the account books! So it was no wonder she became so excited. "Fifth sister, if there is anything I can do for you, I will certainly do my best," she said with a smile, trying to suppress her excitement. "Lanning, bring the account books here," Ning Xueyan immediately ordered Lanning, who was standing behind her. Lanning already had preparations in mind. She nodded to Ning Xueyan, and after a short while, she brought out several account books

There was a touch of coldness in the depth of Ning Xueyan's eyes, and the faint smile on her lips gradually turned to a sneer. "Ning Qingshan is really not easy to deal with! She has even come up with such an idea to disentangle herself from me! Since Xia'er accused me like that, I have no chance to send the account books to Foggy Courtyard today," she thought. She knew that Xia'er was inspired after her master slapped her and knelt down in front of Madam Dowager for her mistake. That was why she banged her head so hard onto the ground. She wanted to arouse the other's sympathy and let them suspect Ning Xueyan by hinting Ning Xueyan was a vicious girl and she was trying to frame Ning Qingshan's maid. Seeing everyone watching herself, Ning Xueyan walked over calmly and knelt down as well. "Grandmother, don't be angry. I should be blamed. I just wanted to joke with Third Sister, but I didn't expect that she would have been implicate because of
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 173 Send the Account Books to Foggy Courtyard
With the picking up of the account books one by one, Ning Qingshan's breath sharpened unconsciously. It seemed she couldn't stay calm and maintain her perfect smile any longer. The maid picked up the first account book and shook the dust off. Both the top and the bottom cover were clean. Then she picked up the second one and shook off the dust as well, and there was no stain on it either. How could all of them be clean? Now four of the five account books had been found clean, so Ning Qingshan became nervous and sweat beamed from the tip of her nose. There was only one account book left. The last one must be the stained one! The maid picked up the last account book and shook the dust off it. She then piled all the account books up and held them firmly in her arms before turning to leave. "That's impossible! Why none of them was stained?" She was a hundred percent sure that the stained page would be exposed, but tha
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 174 Block the Maid on the Way to Buy Time
A maid in the blue padded jacket rushed toward Foggy Courtyard. As she walked in a rush, she walked so fast that she nearly tripped over a stone. The maid took a sigh of relief when she found herself at the gate of Foggy Courtyard. She wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief and was going to walk into the courtyard. "There are many guests in our manor today. You are walking in such a hurry. What if you disturb the guests?" Lanning walked out from nowhere and said crossly, staring at the maid. Hearing that, the maid was taken aback. When she found that the person in front of her was the first maid Lanning, she immediately argued for herself, "Sister Lanning, Third Young Lady asked me to find Mammy Luo and tell her to put the account books which Fifth Young Lady had sent here at a safe place so that they won't be stained." "Mammy Luo is at Foggy Courtyard?" Lanning asked, pretending to be surprised. Mammy Luo was ver
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 175 There's No Braised Fish in the Kitchen Today
"Young Lady, how can this, this account book be here?" Mammy Luo said, pointing at the account book with fishy flavor. She was so shocked that she could hardly speak. Madam Dowager had asked her maid to take the account books to Ning Xueyan. However, she had been knocked by another maid on her way and she twisted her ankle. The maid who had knocked her agreed to help her to take the account books to Ning Xueyan. Thus the account books fell into the hands of Mammy Luo without being noticed. She asked Xia'er to bring the braised fish in brown sauce from the kitchen and then poured the juice onto one of the account books and carefully made the juice permeate the bottom cover little by little. Then she piled the five account books. Because she did it very carefully, nobody could find anything abnormal from appearance. Unless these account books were taken down one by one, or the others couldn't find the stained one. Besides, the maid who had sent the account
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 176 Being Kind to Your Enemy Is Often the Wrong Beginning
Xia'er was dragged outside the courtyard and to prevent her from screaming, her mouth was plugged with a piece of cloth. Ning Zu'an ordered the guards to execute the punishment. The servants knelt on the ground in the courtyard, lowering their heads. None of them dared even breathe heavily. Soon, the sound of sticks hitting people and muffled grunting came from outside the courtyard. The air seemed to be filled with a faint bloody smell. Mammy Luo knelt on the ground with other servants with a pale face. She was scared and she had never expected that Madam Dowager would have ordered people to beat Xia'er to death. How could she be so cold-blooded to kill a person just because she had stained an account book! The air was suffocating in the room as well. Junior Concubine Xu was so scared that she covered her mouth with her hand, shivering behind Ning Zu'an. She had forgotten that today was her big day. She had been very happy when she took the jewelry from
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 177 What You had Imagined and Reality were not the Same
"What's the difference? Maybe she is more mature because her mother died." Xia Yuhang smiled unnaturally, a subtle look of complexity crossing his eyes. "Another day, I saw her outside Cloud Reflection Courtyard. She was standing beside a tree and looking at Cloud Reflection Courtyard in a trance," Ning Huaiyuan said. He poured a glass of wine for Xia Yuhang, and then for himself. Cloud Reflection Courtyard? Xia Yuhang's heart beat fast. He grasped the wine glass more firmly, as if he wanted to hold something in his hand. "Does Ning Xueyan really know what happened between Ning Ziying and me?" he wondered. Ning Xueyan had been at the gate of Cloud Reflection Courtyard when he saw her last time. Now Ning Huaiyuan told him that he had seen Ning Xueyan near Cloud Reflection Courtyard. He also recalled what Madam Ling had said. Thinking about these, Xia Yuhang couldn't help but feel something wrong. "Maybe she likes that place," Xi
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 178 the Phoenix Earring
The room fell into silence and filled with thick sorrows. "Fifth Young Lady, did my young master told you in your dream who murdered her?" Mother Wang wiped tears from her face and suddenly asked resentfully. She had totally believed what Ning Xueyan said, but she didn't believe that Ning Ziying had thrown herself into the river to commit suicide. She had been outside of the manor and collected information after Ning Ziying's death. She heard everyone said that Ning Ziyan had been engaged to Xia Yuhang since childhood, and nobody knew that there was an engagement between Ning Ziying and Xia Yuhang. That was abnormal. She had been willing to follow Lanning's advice and cooperate with Ning Xueyan because she wanted to collect information in the Lord Protector's Manor. "Mother Wang, don't worry. I'll avenge Sister Ziying. If she didn't appear in my dream and give me instruction, I might have died," Ning Xueyan looked at Mother Wang and said sin
