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
"Your Highness, do you want Fifth Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor to enter your manor?" At this time, an elegant young man was sitting in the Third Prince's private room. He picked up the chess pieces and slowly put it down. It seemed that he asked this question nonchalantly."My father will choose a legal wife and two co-consorts for me this time. It should not be difficult for me to ask for another concubine." Sitting opposite the young man, Ao Mingyu looked relaxed, as if he was talking about a mere dog or a cat. Of course, in his eyes, it was not difficult.She was a co-wife's daughter. Since he took a fancy to her, he was determined to marry her.As a prince, he could have a consort, two co-consorts, and two concubines. At most, the women in his manor were only madams and maternal aunts. These positions had always been vacant. He would not sell them off if he did not derive anything from it.The ones in the running for th
Even though there were no other outsiders here, these guards and coachmen had all witnessed the terrible scene. If this tragic thing happened to her, Ning Xueyan knew that it would be effortless for Ao Mingyu to threaten her with it.Just now, she felt very strange because Ao Mingyu's guards specially told her to sit in the last carriage. However, it was common knowledge that the last one was the easiest to be left behind. Ning Xueyan didn't know what Ao Mingyu meant by doing this, but she was sure about one thing—next, at least Ning Qingshan's carriage would be safe.After the farce caused by Ao Xian today, Ning Qingshan‘s reputation was on the edge of being ruined now. If anything more happened to her, she could not even join the Beauty Contest. But how could Ao Mingyu allow such a thing to happen? Thus, Ning Qingshan must be in the safety zone. It was also the reason why Ning Xueyan struggled to send herself into Ning Qingshan's carriage."W
Seeing Madam Ling's serious face, Ning Huaiyuan knew what Madam Ling was thinking about. He advised her again, "Mother, you have a son and a daughter. Why are you afraid of a concubine, one of a maid origin? Even if she is the most favored concubine now, she is just a plaything. After a while, when my father does not like her anymore, you can beat and scold her. It's all up to you, Mother. Why are you unhappy now?""That little bi*ch, I wanted to keep her for you before, and she agreed. I did not expect that she would hook up with your father only a few days after I went to the Buddha Hall. What a shameless bi*ch!"When Madam Ling talked about this, she wanted to scratch Yu Lian's enchanting face. She had known that this bi*ch would have an affair. To prevent her from serving Ning Zu'an in bed, she specifically told her that she would give her a title when Yuan'er came back if she went with him. Unexpectedly, she was still so dissatisfied with her lot. Mada
Hearing that the back door may not be sealed, Ning Huaiyuan hesitated for a moment, then walked to the back door which was just round the corner.The back door of the Ningying Courtyard was facing the direction of the Bright Frost Garden. But when one came from that direction, one could not see the back door directly, because of a side room that was located there. Part of the room jutted out and hid the back door from one's view. Only when one walked round the side of this room, then could one see the entrance of the backyard.Most of the people came through the main entrance. Only the maids and the older female servants went through the back door due to the convenience.Ning Huaiyuan had orders from Xia Yuhang today, so he had to go to the Cloud Reflection Courtyard to do a search. Xia Yuhang did not say what it was. He just asked Ning Huaiyuan to send Ning Ziying's books to him. Ning Ziying liked reading books. These books were nothing specia
What happened next scared those servants who initially did not believe in the stories told.As soon as they passed, a servant jumped in and slipped. Then they saw a dark, red bloodstain under the door. Some people said that it was the place where the young male servant had hit his head. How could the bloodstain darken so soon after his fall? It was certainly a strange phenomena.When another servant pushed the door open and entered, a few bricks fell from it. Although they did not hurt their heads, they were hit on their arms and screamed in pain.In theory, no matter who had left the bricks, it had already injured many people. How could such a thing happen? Thinking about this, they all had an eerie feeling about the place.After that, everyone was trembling with fear. They were afraid that if they were careless, they would get into trouble. However, there was still a servant who had been hit by another brick. This was quite norma
The book was an old book, but Ning Xueyan had never seen this line of small characters before. If this was the case, had they ever been seen by anyone before?It was the Book of Family Names, a very common book, and a child's primer. In her previous life, her mother had personally imparted knowledge to her. The Book of Family Names was the first book she learned from. She was familiar with everything in it, and she even knew which page had some creases on it.She brought this book to the capital in memory of her mother.So, this book meant a lot of her, as it was something she treasured from the past.However, such a book was a little different from the usual books. If Qingyu had not accidentally sprinkled water on the book, the handwriting would not have appeared. And she never thought that there would be so many characters in this ordinary book.The characters gave her a creepy feeling.Ye:
"It's my good fortune that Madam Dowager and First Madam think so highly of me. However, I'm green and inexperienced. If I can't make the decision, I will be mocked." Junior Concubine Xu looked vexed, as if she did not have the confidence to handle the situation."Ha, ha, ha." Seeing her timid look, Madam Dowager laughed. She pointed to her forehead and said with a smile, "What are you afraid of? I'll help you. Nobody will dare to make fun of you."Madam Dowager was in charge and did not need to check the accounts every day. This was also the reason why Ning Xueyan was able to check the accounts. After all, Junior Concubine Xu was not Ning Xueyan, so she could not be compared with Ning Xueyan, whether in identity or status. Therefore, Madam Dowager was bothered about this.After the Lunar New Year, when Ning Xueyan left, it was inevitable that Madam Ling would be the one in charge. She would arrange for her to take over some things, so that Mad
