Chapter 281 The Cloud Reflection Courtyard Is Haunted
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

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.

The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 283 Secrets Hiding in the Book of Family Names
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.

The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 284 Put on Airs to Collude with Each Other
"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

"What do you mean, Third Sister?" Ning Huaiyuan's face suddenly turned cold and harsh."Eldest Brother, I don't mean anything. I... I don't want you to be sad. From now on, no matter where I am, you will always be on my mind." After saying that, Ning Qingshan's eyes were filled with tears, and she seemed brokenhearted. Suddenly, she pushed Ning Huaiyuan away, turned around, and trotted back to the Foggy Courtyard.Caifen, the maid, had intended to turn around and go out. Hearing the sound of her running feet, she quickly chased after her.Ning Huaiyuan stood there and looked at the direction where Ning Qingshan disappeared to. He frowned and turned to his courtyard, after a while.In the past three years, a lot of things had changed. When they met again, both of them had changed almost beyond recognition. That pure and gentle sister was no longer the same. Furthermore, he had been a little obsessed with her. How could it be possibl
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 286 What's on Madam Dowager's Mind
After Mother Wang, who was "dying of illness" had moved away, Madam Dowager was in a good mood. She specifically asked Ning Xueyan to come to Auspicious Fortune Hall, trying to comfort her. After talking to Ning Xueyan for a while, she asked people to bring some clothes and ornaments which were all newly made. The Beauty Contest would last for a long time. Since every candidate's conduct and character needed to be examined carefully, the competition would take at least a month.All the candidates were all noble Young Ladies. It was said that some of them would be chosen as the wedded wives and co-consorts of the two most powerful princes. Therefore, they should be more careful. The Lord Protector's Manor would send Ning Qingshan and Ning Xueyan to attend the contest. Madam Dowager was very confident that they both would marry the two princes in the way she thought was best for the Lord Protector's Manor.Madam Dowager was planning to marry one of them to Th
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 287 Weird, a Sudden Change in the Study
"What happened?" As soon as Ning Zu'an came in, he saw a crowd of people buzzing in his courtyard. A maid who had been found out in a corner of his study was trembling. It was said that she came from Foggy Courtyard."Marquis, I was guarding the courtyard just now when I suddenly saw a maid waving at me. I had thought that you asked her to find me, so I went over. But when I arrived there, she had gone. Later, I found a book in the study was about to fall down, so I asked people here to check and they found this maid."Since the servant had made up for his mistake, he raised his head high when he answered. Ning Xueyan and Xinmei had told him just now that they was willing to give him the credit for finding the abnormality, so he was very grateful to Ning Xueyan and took her as his savior. If she had not happened to come to the study by accident, he would end up the same way that servant who had been beaten to death had done!Therefore, when Xin
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 288 A Delicate Pearl Flower
"Father, nothing. I picked it up in the corner outside the courtyard just now. It was beautiful, so I want to have a look," Ning Xueyan hesitated for a while and answered. She bit her lip and blinked her jet-like moist eyes, looking a little shy. After all, it was disgraceful for a noble Young Lady to pick up a flower that other people dropped.It was an exquisitely crafted bead flower, which was made of a real flower. With a blooming flower pinned on a holder made of small pearls, it was no worse than those head-ornaments made of gold or jade. Besides, this elegant and delicate bead flower also made people feel the craftsman's ingeniousness.In fact, it was very simple to make such a bead flower. There was a hidden button on the holder which would buckle the flower up when it was inserted in the holder. Thus, a beautiful and fragrant bead flower was produced. Moreover, there were even fresh dew drops on the flower. Ning Zu'an had seen the holder before.

Both of them looked pale.After a while, Ning Qingshan asked with a gloomy face, "Was she really beaten to death by my father?""Yes. When the marquis saw that maid, he immediately ordered people to beat her to death with sticks. It's said that he didn't even give her an opportunity to explain." Mammy Luo's face turned blue. Another maid had been beaten to death by Madam Dowager, and now this one was beaten to death by Ning Zu'an. Mammy Luo had thought that after leaving the nunnery, they would enjoy incomparable honor and wealth following Ning Qingshan, but now the servants had been beaten to death one by one, and it would be her turn next."Can we ask them to send another maid like this one? We can tell them that this maid was caught by my father due to her carelessness," Ning Qingshan said, biting her teeth, but her face softened a little."Miss, the ma
