Although there was very little light, Ning Xueyan clearly knew that the woman below was Ning Qingshan. "She was with me earlier. How could she go on a rendezvous here, only after such a short while?" A graceful man with a gentle look, was sitting on a chair. When Ning Xueyan saw that the man was Ao Mingyu, her heart froze all of a sudden.
"What are they doing behind closed doors, after they tried to avoid all the others?"
Ning Xueyan's head bent lower and lower, for she wanted to get a clearer look at the scene. Ao Chenyi, who was beside her, also pressed close to her, his handsome face showing some excitement. Leaning close to Ning Xueyan, Ao Chenyi looked down together with her.
Inside the room, Ao Mingyu, who was in formal attire, looked at Ning Qingshan, and asked her mildly, "Third Young Lady, what can I do for you?"
"Cousin, I did not plot the things that happened in the other courtyards. I was wronged. Don't you know tha
"I never expected that my cousin didn't know how to show his tenderness toward women!" Ao Chenyi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Ning Xueyan's face, showing her his enchanting and beautiful smile. He then reached out to put back the tile. Carrying Ning Xueyan in his arms, Ao Chenyi turned around and jumped away. The wind went whistling past Ning Xueyan's ears. Ning Xueyan felt that the wind sounded so loud that she unconsciously buried her into Ao Chenyi's arms and grasped his clothes. Ao Chenyi returned much faster than he came here. At first, Ning Xueyan didn't adapt to such a fast speed. But suddenly, everything went black before her. It turned out that Ao Chenyi put the hat of the cloak on her head. All of a sudden, Ning Xueyan felt that she was surrounded by warm darkness. It had never occurred to Ning Xueyan that she could feel so warm even in the dark. It turned out that the sun was not the only thing that could make people feel warm
Ning Qingshan was unlucky to the extreme! This time, it was jolly hard luck on her! After saying goodbye to the Third Prince, she came out in a hurry, for she also knew that she could not stay outside for too long. Or, others would suspect her. But she was knocked to the ground by someone just as she was out of the alley hurriedly. What was worse, she happened to fall into a small puddle. Though the maid quickly went to support her, she still stumbled for a couple of paces and stepped into the puddle when she moved back. Because of this, even the lower hem of her dress got dirty. But it was too late for her to change the clothes at this time. Thus, she had to wipe the dirty corners of her dress and went straight to Linjiang Restaurant with her maids. But to her great surprise, just when she turned a corner, she saw Ning Zu'an coming with some servants. Ning Zu'an was stunned as he spotted Ning Qingshan before him and then became a little ang
"Fifth Sister, what happened to Second Sister? First Brother and I were not there. How did that happen?" Ning Qingshan took Ning Xueyan by the hand, and lowered her voice as if she was trying to keep the peace. "Does Third Sister want to know about this?" Ning Xueyan smiled faintly, with an indifferent look. She removed her hand from Ning Qingshan's hand, and cast her eyes on Ning Huaiyuan and Ning Qingshan, calmly. This was the price that Ning Huaiyuan paid for helping Ning Qingshan. It seemed that Ning Huaiyuan wanted to do something to Ning Yuling, either to suppress her and let Ning Yuling take the blame? However, she did not want to intimately discuss Ning Yuling's matter with them. "Yes, Fifth Sister, can you tell us what happened, exactly?" Although Ning Qingshan was unhappy that Ning Xueyan pushed her hands away, she still gave a gentle smile, because she was shrewd and deep. "No, I can't tell you exactly
At this point, there was no need to say too much. The meaning was all inside it.Ning Huaiyuan and Ning Qingshan chatted warmly with each other for a while. Then they came to Ning Xueyan. They normally weren't so kind to her, but now both of them came here. It seemed that they came with evil intention.Anyway, it was impossible that Ning Xueyan first mentioned Ning Yuling.Madam Dowager was also old and experienced. She looked at Ning Huaiyuan indifferently and showed some disapproval. Ning Xueyan was no longer who she used to be. If everything went well, she would marry into the imperial family. No matter which family she married into, what Ning Xueyan represented was the same as Ning Qingshan, so she could not be offended.Seeing the sadness in her grandmother's eyes, Ning Huaiyuan reacted quickly. He pressed his hand against his nose with malicious intent and bowed to Ning Xueyan, saying apologetically, "Fifth Sister, I'm sorry.
Seeing that Ning Xueyan refused, Ning Qingshan did not dissuade her. She said goodbye to Madam Dowager and Ning Zu'an, then went upstairs with Ning Lingyun.Third Prince Ao Mingyu booked the No. 5 private room upstairs. But at this time, he was not in his private room because the Fourth Prince had called him over. They drank and talked with each other in the Fourth Prince's private room. He left his private room to Ya Moqin, who had come with him.Before leaving, he expressed his regret. He wanted to call Ning Qingshan over to meet Ya Moqin.Three years ago, when Ning Qingshan went to the imperial palace, she didn't meet Ya Moqin, so they didn't know each other."Cousin, don't worry. Even without you, I can get to know the Third Young Lady in a while. Cousin, you don't have to worry." Seeing Ao Mingyu's repeated warning, Ya Moqin burned with jealousy. Ning Qingshan, right? In recent years, she had talked about her because Ning Qing
"Don't worry. You can find out what happened between them." Ning Qingshan gritted her teeth and held back her anger. She was clear-headed now and remembered that Ao Mingyu treated Ning Xueyan differently. It could be seen that Ning Xueyan must have something to do with the Third Prince. If she said so, Ning Xueyan wouldn't be wronged."Okay, okay. Come on. Go and invite the Fifth Young Lady here. Tell her that my cousin and I are waiting for her." Hearing Ning Qingshan's words, Ya Moqin looked pale. She gritted her teeth and spoke with hatred. She wanted to see what the little vixen looked like.The Lord Protector was a fox's den. She just caught a big fox, but she didn't expect that there was also a little one. Today, she had to teach the little fox a lesson.After receiving the order, the maid immediately went downstairs and went to the private room of Lord Protector's Manor. She pushed open the door and walked up to Madam Dowager with respec
Right now, they began to pop their heads up and saw the floor above them. Ning Xueyan was pointing at a private room, whose door was half-open so that they could hear Ya Moqin's sarcasm. Her voice was loud as if she was talking about something, but they could not hear it clearly.They could see that there was a male figure in a gorgeous robe standing at the door of the private room. He seemed to eavesdrop on what was being said inside. They could only see his back, so they did not know who he was. But judging from the clothes, he was either rich or noble. However, it was strange that a man stood in a private room with two women inside to eavesdrop.Ning Xueyan's voice was not loud, so she didn't disturb the person.Ning Lingyun was looking for an opportunity. When she saw the figure in front of her, she rolled her eyes. Stopping to pretend to have a stomachache, she quickly walked up two steps. She pointed at the man at the door and shouted, "H
"What's the matter, Third Prince?" Ning Xueyan handed the ointment to Ning Lingyun, and asked her to apply the medication on Ning Qingshan. No one noticed the alertness in her eyes. She did not think Ao Mingyu would notice it in such a situation."Fifth Young Lady... Could you do me a favor?" Ao Mingyu hesitated for a moment, as if he was too embarrassed to speak.Ning Xueyan did not say anything and waited quietly for Ao Mingyu to speak. Her jet-black eyes were cold and indifferent. She did not want to have anything to do with Ao Mingyu, but it was evident that the Third Prince was not of the same mind. Although he did not turn his head, Ning Xueyan knew his eyes had a trace of jealousy in them.Ao Mingyu used to feel rancor for Ning Qingshan because he wanted to pull Ning Qingshan down from the position of the first wife. At the same time, he also wanted to remove Ya Moqin, who was arrogant and domineering, from the position of the first wife
