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

"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.

In Foggy Courtyard, only Ning Qingshan and Mammy Luo were in the inner room. 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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 290 The Warm-hearted and Kind Mammy Luo
While Mammy Luo crouched down to look at her foot with concern, talking to Qingyu, Ning Xueyan pointed at the Lucky Garden's direction and then at the door quietly. Xinmei understood what she meant and nodded. She then left for Lucky Garden. Among all Ning Xueyan's maids, she was the swiftest one.Ning Xueyan was in charge of the accounts of the manor now, so she did not have to report to Madam Dowager every time she went out.However, Ning Xueyan still strictly followed the rules and never went out without Madam Dowager's permission.Ning Xueyan's foot was not injured at all and she had deliberately asked her maid to tell Ning Qingshan about her injury. She did not wanted to talk to Ning Qingshan about the details of what had happened in the study and she had tricked her out just to get the bead flower on her head. She knew that Ning Qingshan would hear that Ning Zu'an had beaten a maid to death soon.She was sure that after heari

Thinking of this, Mother Han was a bit angry. She had agreed to send some people for the Young Lady to choose from, but a few good ones had been sent to the Foggy Courtyard. What's more, among the remaining people, some were sent to Junior Concubine Xu. However, she managed to send her sick sister to the Bright Frost Garden, using another method.Initially, only a few people were selected for Bright Frost Garden. With the addition of a sick person, they were even more shorthanded. So, they were unable to finish their tasks.Ning Xueyan's face changed slightly when she saw the maid sent to her, and who was later sent to Foggy Courtyard. This matter not only revealed Ning Qingshan's plot against her, but also the extent of Ning Qingshan's power. When Ning Qingshan was still in the nunnery, her trusted subordinate had been sent in.How could she have done it so discreetly? What kind of person was Ning Qingshan? And what was the relationship betwee

"What? Do you mean the pearl flower? That one with winter jasmine?" Madam Dowager was shocked."Yes, mother, please see if this is the one?" Ning Zu'an opened the small box in his hand, and a broken pearl flower appeared in front of Madam Dowager. The pearl flower was broken, leaving only a little residual powder and calyx on it. The original color could no longer be seen.Madam Dowager took the box and checked it. Then she answered with certainty, "It belongs to Third Young Lady. Do you mean that you found it at the door of your study?""The young male servant said that a maid holding a pearl flower, was the one who lured him away. It was at this time that the girl from Foggy Courtyard entered the study. When I went in, I saw her rummaging through the books, which were placed on the bookshelf."Ning Zu'an said in a low voice. When he confirmed that the flower was Ning Qingshan's, he felt more and more certain that there was someth
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 293 Sinister, Madam Dowager's intention to kill Aroused
Ning Qingshan stood behind Madam Dowager with her head lowered, looking delicate and weak, as if she would readily go with Madam Dowager's arrangement.When Mammy Luo came back, she had told her that everything had been settled and Mammy Xing had promised. Mammy Xing would shift the responsibility regarding the matter of the maid onto Ning Xueyan. Even if the maid did something outrageous, it would have nothing to do with her. Madam Dowager and Ning Zu'an would only suspect Ning Xueyan.Mammy Xing knew how to act according to the real situation. Now, she knew that it was almost time, so she pretended to be scared and said, "Yes, Madam Dowager. Someone deliberately asked me to arrange for the maids to be sent to Fifth Young Lady. I thought it was not a big deal. Maybe Fifth Young Lady has seen these maids and wanted all of them, so I did not tell you."Hearing what she said, Madam Dowager became angry. She immediately pulled a long face and scol

"But... but this doesn't mean that Mammy Luo and Mammy Xing have met!" Ning Qingshan could only insist on this, and said with a forced smile."Are you Mammy Xing?" Ning Xueyan gently turned to Mammy Xing. Her jet-black eyes were like pieces of ice. Seeing that, Mammy Xing lowered her eyes, and replied in a low voice, "Yes!"Mammy Xing felt regretful at this time. If she had known that the Fifth Young Lady would be so difficult to deal with, she would not have accepted Nanny Luo's money and promised to deal with this matter. She looked like a hard nut to crack. Up to now, she was still calm and graceful, which completely overshadowed third Young Lady, who was said to be the one most likely to become the Third Prince's wife.Could it be that the rumors were wrong? The Fifth Young Lady standing in front of her had a legal wife's demeanor. The Third Young Lady, who always pretended to be stupid, seemed inferior, when compared to the Fifth Young Lad
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 295 Ning Qingshan's Regret
The news that Third Young Lady had lost her favor spread throughout the manor. Many people did not believe it before. However, they were finally convinced when they heard that Third Young Lady's wet nurse had been beaten 20 times in the garden.No servant had ever been beaten in the master's courtyard before. Furthermore it was the Spring Festival, which would make the master feel unlucky. So, they believed that Third Young Lady had lost favor with Madam. Some servants who were going to Foggy Courtyard in order to please her, were now thinking twice about moving over.But, some people thought it was fine. They were sure that Third Young Lady would soon become the Third Prince's wife. So what if she lost Madam Dowager's favor now? At her age, she would get married when she was selected. So, it did not matter whether the Madam Dowager liked her or not, at that time.The servants in the manor had different opinions, but they found the atmosphere w
