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
"Marchioness, what do you mean?" Ao Mingyu was also stunned. But then he asked, narrowing his eyes. Seeing the Third Prince's expression, Madam Ling thought that for the moment, he could not remember the "Yan'er" that she was talking about was Ning Xueyan. So she explained more straightforwardly. "Third Prince, Fourth Prince, I am talking about the thing that the Fifth Young Lady has done. She behaved disgracefully just now in the backyard. With a man, she... But it was an accident and a misunderstanding. For she is a Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor, I hope that both of you forgive her. I am here to apologize to you for her misbehaviors." Madam Ling heaved a deep sigh, appearing like a loving mother who truly cared for her daughter. Thus, when she indiscreetly mentioned the man, she deliberately stopped talking and successfully aroused everyone's curiosity. These people present were at a loss. Out of curiosity, they speculated that
The sharp pain at her wrist finally woke Madam Ling up. When she saw Ning Huaiyuan holding her wrist, her eyes became red, and Madam Ling nearly burst into tears. "Mother, if you go on acting up, you are forcing Ziyan to take the road to destruction!" Ning Huaiyuan's low and insidious voice sounded in Madam Ling's ears, which greatly shocked her. Finally, she came back to her senses. Suppressing her impulse to vomit blood, Madam Ling forced herself to smile at Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan, showing a face that looked uglier than a crying face. Leaning against the maid beside her, Madam Ling turned around and trudged inside. Now the news that Ning Ziyan had an accident occupied her head. More than that, Madam Ling knew it was her fault. "Because of me, my second daughter was disfigured. Also, because of me, my eldest daughter's reputation was ruined. Now... What should I do?!" Thinking too much, Madam Ling felt that her whole head was buzzing
Ning Zu'an called Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan. Of course, Prince Yi asked him to do this. Ning Zu'an let his two unmarried daughters come here only because that Prince Yi had heard Ning Qingshan's good reputation. He wanted to see this lady who had gained a widely known reputation for her loyal and filial manner. But if Ning Zu'an let Ning Qingshan come over alone, it was highly improper. Therefore, Ning Zu'an also asked Ning Xueyan to come here with her. In this way, two Young Ladies from the Lord Protector's Manor would meet Prince Yi together. And the Third Prince who left just now would not take it as an offense. "So she is your Third Young Lady. She indeed looks smart and beautiful. Have you ever planned to marry one of your daughters to me?" Not in a hurry, Ao Chenyi smiled gently. Staring at the two girls up and down with his pretty eyes, Ao Chenyi seemed to be very interested in them. "Prince Yi, Honored Consort Ya had mentioned th
Of course, Qingyu didn't happen to stay at the gate of the backyard. Since Ning Xueyan found the strange item of Ning Zu'an's account, she cut the cost and let Qingyu wait around the backyard gate where she had seen someone come to look for Ning Zu'an in her last life. Usually, only a few people would go out of the manor, so it was not easy for others to enter the manor even through the backyard gate. But today was different. In this manor, many people were coming and going. To go the easier way, some servants directly passed in and out of the back door. Thus, these guards at the entrance were much less vigilant than usual. If someone wanted to go into the manor to find Ning Zu'an, today was his or her best opportunity. Ning Xueyan also checked the background of the older female servant who guarded the back door. She worked neither for Madam Ling nor the Madam Dowager. Instead, she was the mother of Ning Zu'an's former subordinate, who was disabled on the
Xinmei returned in the evening but didn't bring back many messages. The friend that the middle-aged woman went to visit was a young student. They seemed to be quite close to each other like they were mother and son. The woman brought him some clean clothes to change his clothes for washing. After chatting for a long time, they parted with reluctance. All their acts unintentionally showed the family affection between them. "Young Lady, the young man came out through the side door. Right after finishing talking with the woman, he closed the door and left. There was no one around that I could ask for more information." Of course, Xinmei could not climb over the wall to enter the academy in broad daylight because it would attract others' attention. "What is the size of that academy?" Lowering her head, Ning Xueyan touched the cup in her hand and asked after thinking for a moment. "It has an average size, not as large as those big a
Ning Huaiyuan was really upset today. A wonderful party had been ruined by such a scandal! It not only disturbed the people of the Lord Protector's Manor, but also annoyed Xia Yuhang and he had taken Ning Ziyan and Xia Yudong back to his manor. Ning Huaiyuan knew that Xia Yuhang was not easy to mess with and if his mother thought that she could control the Xia Manor by marrying Ning Ziyan to Xia Yuhang, she was too naive. Ning Huaiyuan felt that he had never seen through Xia Yuhang. He had objected to Ning Ziyan marrying Xia Yuhang, but Ning Ziyan had been so fascinated by this man and insisted on marrying him. "Ziyan... Xia Yuhang won't believe that Ziyan had an affair with Xia Yudong, right?" Madam Ling asked anxiously after thinking it for a while. She became listless at once at the mention of Ning Ziyan. Every man who had seen that would think that his wife was having an affair, so Madam Ling was really worried about Ning Ziyan now.
"What a piece of sensational news that the Second Madam of the Lord Protector's Manor died at Eldest Young Lady's wedding ceremony! There are many interesting rumors about it," Yun Luoluo said with a sneer. The way she spoke was very rude and she even made fun of Madam Ming's death! Ning Xueyan's face darkened at the words, a coldness flashing in her eyes. As soon as Ning Ziying and Ning Xueyan's memories merged, she had regarded Madam Ming as her own mother, so of course she was annoyed when she heard Yun Luoluo insulting Madam Ming. With a sneer on her lips, she said, "His Majesty has drawn the conclusion. Second Young Lady, aren't you satisfied with His Majesty's decision? It seems you have more guts than those officials and dare even speak out against His Majesty's will." Although the Lord Peace's Manor was Empress Dowager's family home, she had died and all the other noble families knew that the Lord Peace's Manor was declining. Only ve
Heng Yuwan had arrived at the side door. She turned her head and smiled at Heng Yuqing brightly before walking behind the door. As soon as Heng Yuqing and Ning Xueyan arrived at the platform behind the door, Ning Xueyan smelt a medicine flavor. Although the smell was faint, as Ning Xueyan had taken a lot of medicine since her childhood, she could tell that there was some medicine nearby. She looked down and saw the four older female servants still chatting behind that tree. Since she left just now, these servants had been there for some time. It was very suspicious that they had been talking for such a long facing the wind. Besides, Ning Xueyan felt like an older female servant raise her head and glance over to the platform. "What did you want with me?" Heng Yuqing asked angrily, staring at Heng Yuwan. "Eldest Sister, calm down. Why are you so angry every time you see me? I just want to ask if you want me to send some delicious
