Chapter 242 How Dare You Take Away All My Stuff
She meant that since Madam Ling had done a lot of work in managing the shops, even she should not be credited, she should not be blamed. In other words, she was interceding for her, hinting Ning Xueyan not to ask back the profits of the past few years.
Until now, Madam Dowager was still reluctant to give back the money! Ning Xueyan sneered inwardly. "What a mean and shameless woman!" she really wished that she had nothing to do with the manor in the future.
Taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "Grandmother, I will follow your words."
Of course she would not spare Madam Ling and let the Lord Protector's Manor take advantage of her. However, she could not be openly hostile towards people of the manor now. When the time was right, she would definitely bring Madam Ling down completely. Madam Ling must give back everything she had taken from Madam Ming, Ning Xueyan and Ning Ziying!
Bright Frost Garden was full of things. In additi

Three days later, Madam Ling was released from the Buddha Hall. Since they had not mentioned Madam Ling's mistakes in public and only said that she had come to the Buddha Hall for meditation, as soon as Madam Dowager approved, Madam Ling was released. Madam Dowager had not meant to get her out before the lunar New Year. However, after returning to the manor, Ning Huaiyuan had mentioned many times in front of her that the outsiders would laugh at the manor if they knew that the hostess was absent during the festival. Besides, since the Beauty Contest was coming, Madam Dowager had to release Madam Ling early to make her adopt Ning Qingshan as her daughter. Moreover, Madam Dowager had shifted most blame on Madam Ling and even Auspicious Clouds Courtyard had been turned upside down. After all, it was a disgrace to the hostess of the manor. Due to the reasons above, Madam Dowager had agreed to release Madam Ling early. In the early
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 244 Madam Ling Adopted Ning Qingshan as Her Daughter
The next day, a lot of visitors came to the Lord Protector's Manor to attend the banquet. The carriages parking outside the manor filled the whole street in front of it. Ning Zu'an was the emperor's favored official. Although his family had some problems recently, his power did not seem to be much impacted. But some rumors said that the emperor thought since Ning Zu'an could not rule his manor well, he would not be able to help him rule the country well. Because of this, he did not trust in Ning Zu'an as much as he used to be. But everyone was talking about Third Young Lady and Third Prince. Someone was certain that Third Young Lady had already been chosen as Third Prince's principal wife and she had attended the Beauty Contest just to go through the formality. Some rumors about Third Young Lady's recent improper behavior were also spreading in the capital, but since the Lord Protector's Manor and Third Prince had not made any moves, people
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 245 Xia Yuhang's Doubt
A man in a cyan robe was sitting there. Although he was not gorgeous, he looked both graceful and mild. Xia Yuhang had always waited for her here before, but later, he had met her at Ning Ziyan's courtyard instead. Therefore, Xia Yuhang had only come here the first year Ning Xueyan came to the manor, and in the following two years, only Ning Ziying had occasionally come here to read and relax. This man had waited for her here gently before. Now he looked up at Ning Xueyan and smiled, just as he had done to Ning Ziying several years ago. "Why don't you come here and sit for a while?" His words were ambiguous. For Ning Xueyan, she would feel a little surprised and offensive at the words, but when it came to Ning Ziying, she would take it as the tenderness from the man she was so familiar with. It was as if she had returned to her last life—at the same place, the same man had spoken the same words to her with the same gentle smile

Ning Xueyan walked over and bowed to Madam Dowager before sitting down beside Ning Qingshan. She glanced at the people in the room and figured out what Madam Dowager was thinking about. "Obviously, Madam Dowager also takes the two princes for granted as our family members. What makes her so confident?" "Your mother is greeting the guests outside, so I let you have fun here for a moment. Otherwise, you may complain that I am unreasonable and keep you working all the time," Madam Dowager said with a smile, looking gracious. "Grandmother, I know you are the best to us," Ning Qingshan responded her cleverly, as if it was normal without Ning Lingyun's presence. "Shan'er, you are so sweet!" Madam Dowager was joyful at Ning Qingshan's words. She patted her on the head with a smile and said, "Well, I am tired. I will have a rest in the inner room. Keep chatting! You are all young people, so if there is any misunderstanding, just explain it face to f

After taking a sip of tea quietly, she nodded slightly and then put down the tea cup. Lanning stood behind her again. After a while, Ning Xueyan suddenly stood up and was about to leave, as if she felt so boring. Ning Ziyan's eyes rolled and immediately shouted in a loud voice, "Fifth Sister, are you going out for a walk? Wait for me for a moment!" With that, she walked over to Ning Xueyan, and before Ning Xueyan could say anything, she had grabbed her by the hand. Ning Qingshan moved a little, as if she wanted to go following Ning Ziyan. However, after thinking it for a while, she gave up the idea. "Eldest Sister, loose your hand. It hurts!" Ning Xueyan stopped walking and said to Ning Ziyan, who was grabbing her hand firmly, in a soft voice. Ning Xueyan's voice was not loud, but since the room was quiet, everyone's attention was attracted by her. Ning Ziyan's hand trembled and she immediately let go of Ning Xuey
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 248 Madam Ling's Scheme Is Different from Ning Qingshan's
Xia Yudong had come to the manor with Xia Yuhang today. Of course, he had not told Xia Yuhang about what he discussed with Ning Qingshan privately. He imitated Xia Yuhang's every word and deed because Xia Yuhang was the most outstanding in the others' eyes, and people always praised him for his literary talent, elegance, appearance and manners. Living in Xia Yuhang's shadow since his childhood, Xia Yudong learned everything from Xia Yuhang unconsciously. Because of this, he also got some compliments. Other people said that Minster Xia was good at educating his sons, as not only his first son had a very good manner, but his second son, whose mother was only a concubine, was so excellent as well. Xia Yudong behaved like a graceful noble childe in front of people. He was obedient to Xia Yuhang and always gave priority to him. However, nobody knew that he was very resentful about it. Since both of them were Minister Xia's sons and he was as exce
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 249 The Accident at Orchid Garden
An unfamiliar maid passed the note to Lanning who handed it to Ning Xueyan. Orchid Garden was the courtyard between Bright Frost Garden and Lucky Garden. Ning Xueyan believed that Madam Ling had murdered Madam Ming. However, it was Qingrui who had been punished for it. Without any explanation, Madam Ling had asked people to catch Qingrui and beat her to death with sticks. Therefore, there were many doubts in this matter. Madam Ling knew that as Madam Ming's daughter, Ning Xueyan would definitely want to know the cause of her mother's death. Obviously, Madam Ling had thought of it carefully when she designed the trap. However, Ning Xueyan was no longer what she used to be, but Ning Ziying, who had reborn. From the vague words on the note, Ning Xueyan could tell that Madam Ling was going to frame her. Of course she would pretend that she did not find anything wrong. "I will have Ning Ziyan fall into her mother's trap step by step

Ning Xueyan felt comfortable with the coldness when she spread out the ointment on her wrist. After the ointment became a little dry, she pulled down her sleeve and stood up with a smile. "Lanning, we should go out to meet people now. If we stay at the backyard on this joyous occasion, the others may think that we did something disgraceful and dare not to show up in public." All the maids in the room understood what she was hinting, and they all laughed. Without any hesitation, they helped Ning Xueyan dress up again. Ning Xueyan asked Xinmei and Qingyu to stay at the courtyard and walked out with Lanning. To her surprise, as soon as she arrived at the courtyard gate, she saw Third Prince and the others coming over. Ning Xueyan could not help frowning. She really did not want to see them. Therefore, when they told her that they mainly wanted to have a look at the buildings of Bright Frost Garden and by the way ask for a cup of t
