Chapter 218 Fifth Sister, I'm Willing to Take All the Responsibility as Long as You Don't Get Angry
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Looking 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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 220 The Tragic Fall of the Previous Dynasty
"Everyone thought that the marquis loved Madam Ming from the bottom of his heart, and Madam Dowager also promised that the marquis would not marry any other woman except for Madam Ming. Finally, the minister agreed on their marriage. After marrying Madam Ming, the marquis was promoted quickly. Afterwards, there was a coup at court and to everyone's surprise, the marquis opened the gate of the city he was guarding and surrendered with his men. After the regime change, your grandfather died in the battle and your uncle was arrested. He refused to surrender, so the marquis was arranged to persuade him. The marquis threatened him with Madam Ming, so your uncle had to agree with him. Madam Ming was very sad about this. However, what surprised her more was that not long after, the marquis brought his mistress to our manor. That woman was Madam Ling. She had already had a son and a daughter by that point." Speaking of the past, Mother Han could not hold back her
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 221 Concubine Ma's Death
Suddenly, the cart stopped, as if it bumped against something. "Have I reached my destination?" Concubine Ma wondered. Soon, the barrel began to shake again, as if being lifted by someone. Sensing this, Concubine Ma became more assured. She held her breath in the barrel and did not dare to move at all. The barrel landed firmly, as if being placed on a cart. Then the cart was pulled away. At the beginning, the barrel shook a little, but not seriously. Based on the distance they had traveled, Concubine Ma estimated that they had left the Lord Protector's Manor. She felt a little relieved. It was really convenient to come out of the manor at this point! After some time, the cart stopped and the barrel was lifted again. Concubine Ma listened carefully, but heard nothing. It seemed everything was extremely quiet outside. Then something very heavy was hung over the barrel and Concubine Ma felt that under the weight of it, the barrel was likely to

"Mother, don't worry. I'll inquire Fourth Prince about it at the right time. But since Yan'er's status is not that high, I'm afraid that Honored Consort Shu wouldn't let Fourth Prince marry her. No matter how Fourth Prince likes Yan'er, he can't disobey his mother's will." Ning Zu'an knew what Madam Dowager was thinking, and he could not help frowning after thinking for a moment. The problem was still Ning Xueyan's identity. As her mother was just a co-wife, she was not worthy of a prince. "I don't think so! Madam Ming used to be your principal wife, and she was your first wife, so Yan'er is your principal wife's daughter, and she is much more distinguished than Ziyan and Yuling!" Madam Dowager snorted and defended Ning Xueyan. She seldom spoke for Ning Xueyan. No matter how low Ning Xueyan's status was, for Madam Dowager, she was of noble blood. "Mother!" Ning Huaiyuan cleared his throat and cut her off awkwardly.

"Miss, Fourth Young Lady asked her maid to convey a message to Commandery Prince Li just now," Caifen walked into the room and reported to Ning Qingshan. After bringing the fruits to Ning Lingyun, she had not left but hidden near Ning Lingyun's courtyard. Seeing Ning Lingyun's maid leaving in a hurry, she returned to Foggy Courtyard triumphantly. Everything was undergoing as her master had expected! "Ask that man to wait near Third Prince's suburban courtyard. I wonder what methods he will use to get my fifth sister's attention." Ning Qingshan sneered triumphantly. She was patient this time, and she would make Ning Xueyan fall into her trap step by step. Anyway, the idiot, Ning Lingyun, was willing to be taken advantage of by her. Even if it were exposed, nobody would be suspicious about her. Qingyu ran into Bright Frost Garden in a hurry and whispered in Ning Xueyan's ear for a moment. Ning Xueyan nodded and put down the book

In plain clothes, Ning Xueyan's face looked much paler than Ning Qingshan's, and it made her jet-black eyes even more clear and dark under her trembling, long eyelashes. Her paleness reminded people of purity and niceness and her aloof temperament made her more like a fairy. Compared to Ning Qingshan, she was more like to arouse Third Prince's attention. Ning Qingshan had been sensitively aware that Ao Mingyu had looked at Ning Xueyan more than once before they got into the carriage. It made jealousy spread in Ning Qingshan's mind, like a frantic viper. Holding back her anger and gritting her teeth, she squeezed out a smile and talked to Ning Xueyan. She reminded herself to be patient. She would watch Ning Xueyan step by step into the abyss. She had many opportunities to corner Ning Xueyan and she would watch her struggling in the trap and being tortured! "Third Sister, it doesn't matter. Let's bygones be bygones. Since so many
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 225 The Noble Childe Xia Yudong
Xia Yudong was Xia Yuhang's younger brother. He was a concubine's son and it was said that he was very talented. Unfortunately, even if Xia Yudong was more talented than average concubines' sons, he could not be compared with Xia Yuhang, who was so brilliant. Therefore, Xia Yudong had been keeping a low key. Among the noble childes, he enjoyed a good reputation, and even better than the children of some other noble families' principal wives. But what kind of person he was actually? In her last life, Ning Ziying had paid a secret visit to the Xia Manor for Xia Yuhang. It had happened that Xia Yuhang was not there, so she had hung out in the courtyard. Later, she had fallen asleep leaning against the swing frame. When she woke up, everything had been very quiet, and she had vaguely heard someone plotting. To her surprise, the one who had been speaking was Xia Yudong! He talked about a noble Young Lady. It seemed that he had wante

"You have just returned to the Lord Protector's Manor, so you should try to please Madam Dowager and the marquis, and get them on your side. Don't make unnecessary mistakes and stir up trouble. It will ruin your good reputation." Ao Mingyu seemed very mild as he spoke to her. He lowered his head and looked at Ning Qingshan with deep affection in his eyes. But Ning Qingshan was sensitive to his mood, and she could tell that he was displeased and was trying to hold back his anger. After thinking it over, she guessed that Third Prince knew that she was plotting against Ning Xueyan secretly. Her face suddenly turned pale. "Third Prince, I, I'm not fighting her on purpose, but she is trying to frame me!" With trembling lips, Ning Qingshan raised her head and said this, appearing very aggrieved. She was so anxious that she seemed about to cry. She appeared a little surprised and scared, but it was all an act. It made people feel that she was reall

"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

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!"

"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!"

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.

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.

"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.
