Chapter 211 What? She Is Third Young Lady!
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56"I'm not talking about you. Why are you thanking me?"
Ning Qingshan's smile froze at the words. Being mercilessly mocked by Fourth Prince, Ao Mingwan, she could not even sit calmly. Her face turned pale and she felt both humiliated and angry. Her eyes immediately turned reddish with tears. She did not know why Fourth Prince, who had been sparing no efforts praising her with a look of adoration on his face had suddenly spoken these.
How could she stand this?
Hearing what Ao Mingwan had said, Ning Qingshan was not the only one to be shocked. Everyone wondered what Fourth Prince meant? Why had he said that he was not talking about Ning Qingshan? Could there be anyone else he was talking about?
Ao Mingyu looked at Ao Mingwan silently. His eyes flickered, but he said nothing.
Ning Xueyan glanced at Ao Mingwan in confusion, then at Ning Qingshan. She lowered her head again and was ready to wait and see. It was really an

Ning Xueyan pushed away Ao Mingyu's hand and rushed toward Ning Qingshan. "Third Sister, which part did you get injured?" she asked anxiously, crouching down in front of Ning Qingshan. "Third, Third Young Lady, I, I didn't mean to bump into you. I swear I didn't see you coming over," Lanning knelt on the floor and explained nervously, lowering her head. Ning Qingshan covered her shoulder with her hand, her face full of panic. She looked at Ao Mingyu subconsciously and saw that Ao Mingyu was looking at her with thoughtful and grim eyes. Her heart sank. Third Prince had never looked at her with such a cold and suspicious look! "Shan'er, are you okay? Come on! Let me check if you broke your bone!" Seeing that Ning Qingshan could not stand up from the floor for the moment and covered her shoulder with her hand, Madam Dowager was so anxious that she stood up. With Mother Qin's support, she held Mother Qin's hand and was about to come over to Ning
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 213 You Are Not Our Own Daughter
"I have never expected that this little girl would have thought in the same way as I and taken advantage of Ning Qingshan's wound to arouse the others suspicion about her!" Ao Chenyi curved up his lips and a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his face. He put down the note and asked a guard into his room in a lazy voice. A secret guard in black immediately showed up in front of him. He knelt down and said, "Prince Yi!" "It's unnecessary to leak out more news about my favorite concubine. It's enough for now." A relaxed smile appeared on Ao Chenyi's red and thin lips. He had deliberately leaked out some news about his favorite concubine to arouse other people's attention on Third Young Lady. Now what Ning Xueyan had done had successfully caused Ao Mingyu's suspicion about Ning Qingshan. "She coincided with me! I was thinking to arrange carefully to arouse people's suspicion against Ning Qingshan as well. This little gir
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 214 I'm Going to Leave the Lord Protector's Manor
Except for Foggy Courtyard's main bedroom, the candles of most courtyard had been put out. A ferocious look had replaced the gentleness and elegance and appeared on Ning Qingshan's face. She gritted her teeth and looked in the direction of Bright Frost Garden, the veins on her forehead swelling. She had had her wound bandaged again. She had not been bumped against too heavily, but because her former injury had not recovered yet, it opened again. She had applied medicine on her wound, which Mammy Luo had secretly brought to her from outside recently. "Mammy, what did Madam Ling say?" Ning Qingshan asked, still looking angry. Thinking about what had happened today, she became even more upset. She grabbed the jade porcelain vase beside her made of Runan County and threw it hard toward the wall, and she still felt it was not enough and wanted to smash more things to vent her anger. She had not only been humiliated in front of people, but had got
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 215 Fifth Sister Is Not Such a Person
"You will die at our manor if you can't escape?" Ning Xueyan repeated what Concubine Ma said, a relaxed smile on her face. "Yes! Third Young Lady's maid, Caifen, promised me that if I could give this jade pendant to you and let you send me out the manor, Third Young Lady would help me to leave the capital and get rid of the hunting from our manor. Besides, she also promised me that she would give me a new identity and the departure certificate..." "And a large sum of money?" Ning Xueyan cut her off and said with a laughter. "Yes, yes! Third Young Lady did promise me that!" Concubine Ma said, trembling a little. "If your life is at stake, money and freedom will mean nothing to you!" Ning Xueyan's eyes turned cold and she satirized Concubine Ma indifferently, "Concubine Ma, are you so confident that Third Sister will let go of you easily? Xia'er of Foggy Courtyard was her henchman, but you know what happened to her. Do you think
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 216 We Have Found Concubine Ma
"Fifth Young Lady, how dare you help Concubine Ma escape? You're trying to dress her as an ordinary maid and bring her out our manor. How could you... be so unfilial and immoral?" Mammy Luo decided to put things straightforward. She shouted, pointing at a shivering maid in the last row, whose face could not be seen clearly at all. "Concubine Ma?" Ning Qingshan looked like being scared. She stared at Ning Xueyan and murmured, "Impossible! How could that happen? Fifth Sister, Concubine Ma is our father's concubine and everything about her should be decided by our father. You, you know how serious the consequence will be, don't you?" Hearing what she said, the two older female servants following behind Ning Qingshan turned to the maid in the last row and looked at her with gleaming eyes. Concubine Ma's maid had reported that Concubine Ma was missing in the morning. She said that Concubine Ma had been very upset recently and she could not fall asleep at midni
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 217 Ning Qingshan's Plan
Third Prince, who was outside, straightened himself up, and walked in slowly, with his hands clasped behind his back. The doorman did not dare to stop him when he saw it was Third Prince, and he immediately stood aside. Two guards followed Third Prince in, one following him closely, empty-handed, the other one a few steps behind them, with a leash in his hand, and at the end of the leash was a small hound. The maid who hid herself with the other maids behind Ning Xueyan, looked up nervously. She looked as ordinary as the other maids, and it was obvious that she was not Concubine Ma, which was what everyone thought. Ning Qingshan's head buzzed, as if she had been struck heavily by something. Staring at the maid, who looked so plain and bore no resemblance to Concubine Ma at all, Ning Qingshan's brain went completely blank. She could not believe her own eyes. She looked at the maid blankly, and the handkerchief in her hands was almost ripped t

Looking at the beautiful lady's wronged face and tearful eyes, no man could bear to put the blame on her for those matters that had nothing to do with her. Ao Mingyu frowned and walked closer to Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan, as if he had something to say. The two guards behind him followed him closely. "It's weird that Third Sister's wet nurse's misunderstanding has led to a series of coincidences! When I was about go out, she stopped me, and before I could say anything, she began to accuse me, saying that I was going to take Concubine Ma away from the manor secretly. If Concubine Ma had not been found at our grandmother's Lucky Garden, I would have died because of this 'wonderful' misunderstanding! Of course, it had nothing to do with Third Sister, and everything was caused by the bold and arrogant wet nurse." Ning Xueyan smiled slightly and raised her childish face, her feather-like eyelashes fluttering, as if she was sighing inwardly about her surviva

Third Prince left and took away Ning Qingshan's maid. Seeing him off, Ning Huaiyuan walked toward Lucky Garden, ignoring Ning Qingshan, who had collapsed on the ground, and could not get up for the moment. He had to talk to his grandmother about this, and ask her to make a decision. Now, nobody would care about the little episode about Concubine Ma! "Fifth Sister..." Seeing that Ning Huaiyuan did not talk to her, Ning Qingshan immediately turned to Ning Xueyan, with a sad look. She realized that the situation was turning out to be disadvantageous to her. Many outsiders had seen what had taken place, from the gate just now. Even though they did not know what was going on, they could tell from her bedraggled look, that something bad had happened to Ning Qingshan. Both Third Prince and Ning Huaiyuan had given her the cold shoulder. If even Ning Xueyan did not want to talk to her, what would the others think of her? They might think that she mus

"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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 671 Whether an Emperor Needs Imperial Consorts
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. His fiancee abandoned him at his lowest point, sought shelte

"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
