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

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

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

"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 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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 179 Run into Heng Yuqing Again
In the early morning, both Bright Frost Garden and Foggy Courtyard were busy. Third Young Lady and Fifth Young Lady were invited to attend the imperial party. Because Ning Lingyun was the daughter of a concubine, she was ineligible to participate in such activities. Ning Qingshan had gone to the imperial palace three years ago, but after all, it had been a long time. She was still famous among the noble ladies because of her filial piety, and this was the first imperial party she would attend after she had left three years, so she must be careful. Both she herself and Madam Dowager hoped that she would shine on the party and stand out from the crowd. Ning Qingshan had lost a personal maid yesterday and she felt humiliated. But the night before, Madam Dowager had asked Mother Qin to bring her several boxes of jewelry and everyone looked high of her again. They knew that Fifth Young Lady of Bright Frost Garden didn'
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 180 the Legendary Favorite Concubine
At Prince Yi's Manor... On a spacious machilus chair carved with dragons and phoenixes, was a man who was incredibly handsome against the black garment with golden trim. His profile was as delicate as being carved, and his good looks were beyond description. And under the black crown decorated with a dragon design, his beautiful eyes were deep and as bottomless abyss and as dark as pure black ink, without a trace of light. There was a gorgeous invitation card among his slender fingers, and several rubies on the invitation letter had crumbed by him. With a strange smile on his thin lips, he asked coldly, "Was this invitation card sent from the imperial palace?" "Yes. It was just sent here from the imperial palace. Prince Yi, they had sent the same invitation card to you before, but they worried that you might forget it, so they asked their people to send another one," Eunuch Wang answered carefully. His master did not seem to be
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 181 Prince Yi's Favorite Concubine Is at the Imperial Palace
Several branches of plum blossom stretched out from the heavy and thick imperial palace wall. A girl stood beside the wall gracefully. On her fair face was a pair of gentle eyes that sparkled with wisdom, and they were watery, as if covered with a thin layer of fog. Although she had not well-developed yet, from her extremely delicate and beautiful features, everybody could tell that she would become an extremely beautiful lady in the future. The snow-white imperial chiffon she wore fluttered in the wind, accentuating her slender waist. She looked beautiful and smart, but a little bit cold. Under the plum blossom, it felt like this pretty girl was originally part of the beautiful scenery. It was unbelievable! It was said Fifth Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor was both ugly and unsociable. These rumors were all nonsense! The best things were always hidden before they were shown. Everyone felt that Ning Qingshan was extremely charming after leaving t
