Chapter 324 Two Princesses from the Previous Dynasty?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ning Xueyan did not say much to Ning Qingshan. Now they both knew that they had officially broken up with each other. Since everyone present was their henchmen, it was unnecessary for them to pretend to be close sisters in front of them.
Before, Ning Qingshan might not deliberately say something in front of others. But now she only wanted to get rid of Ning Xueyan, so she did not care that much. After Ning Xueyan left, she stared at the candlelight in a daze for a while, thinking if she had known that Ning Xueyan was so difficult to deal with, she would have killed her soon after she came to the manor.
If she had not taken too much into consideration, she would not have let her live until now.
After seeing Ning Xueyan off, Mammy Luo saw Ning Qingshan in a daze gloomily. "Miss, you haven't recovered yet. You need to rest early," she could not help persuading her master.
"Mammy Luo, will Ning Zu'an find anything?" Ning Qingshan asked

The carriage was plain-decorated which was quite different from Prince Yi's typical luxurious one with a black roof and curtain. However, it was still much spacious than ordinary carriages. The floor in the carriage was covered with thick blankets and there was a couch deeper inside the carriage. Ao Chenyi leaned against the couch and naturally held Ning Xueyan's chin with one hand. He narrowed his eyes and sized her up lazily.Ning Xueyan did not know what he was looking for on her face. She raised her jet-like, watery eyes and looked into Ao Chenyi handsome eyes, her eyelashes trembling. Being so close to him, she could clearly see his delicate and handsome face now. He did not look as grim as usual, but there was an evil enchantment of aggressiveness and charming on his face.Even she had been calm, Ning Xueyan could not help blush facing to such an extremely handsome face and sensing his warm breath.“Your injury has totally recovered? What
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 326 Beautiful Lady, the Candidates for the Co-consort
Ning Xueyan was wearing a gorgeous palace costume, which was a light blue dress. She had a belt around her slender waist. There was a train that trailed along the ground, behind her dress. Her hair was studded with pearls. Her face was hidden behind a long, light blue veil. No one could catch a glimpse of her beautiful face.However, no one could deny that she was a stunning beauty!Ao Chenyi clasped her slender waist and more than half of her body was enveloped Ao Chenyi's arms. From afar, the delicate young girl seemed to be very pliant. The man beside her was handsome and cold. His cold face seemed as if it was carved from stone. With his cold and piercing eyes, he looked more like the legendary Asura King.He had a handsome yet malevolent look, and appeared cold and ruthless.This time, they were at the Third Prince's courtyard again. When they arrived halfway at the yard, they switched to Ao Chenyi's luxurious carriage.
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 327 Exchanging Four Beauties for One, Commandery Princess Mingya's Thought
"No!" He decisively put an end to Mingya's suggestion in a drawling voice."Cousin, I'm going to trade four unique beautiful women for a concubine of yours. Won't you agree?" Mingya was already prepared. She reached out and clapped her hands. The door of the hall was wide open and the music was melodious. Everyone could not help but look outside the door, only to see four women appearing in front of them.One was holding the zither, the other was playing the flute, and another two were dancing, as they made their way in.The one who sat down to play the zither, the other who leaned toward one side to play the flute charmingly, as well as the other two beautiful women who danced lightly, were all very good performers. What was most surprising was that these four beauties were identical in looks. They were cute, elegant, charming and aloof. They had different facial expressions, but their facial features were the same.They were all
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 328 Scheming, a Show by the County Princess Yuanyun
Even if she stood there and did not leave, the two people were already headed straight for her.Walking in front of her was the slender and graceful County Princess Yuanyun, who had been sitting beside Commandery Princess Mingya. Although she seldom spoke, she gazed at Ning Xueyan frequently. Although she had a curious look when she stared at Ning Xueyan, her slightly raised lips and mocking expression showed her disgust and disdain toward Ning Xueyan.The reason why County Princess Yuanyun disliked Ning Xueyan so much was because Ning Xueyan was Prince Yi's favorite concubine. The news had secretly spread from the palace that she would be one of the two co-consorts of Prince Yi. Speaking of Prince Yi, County Princess Yuanyun used to be "scared."That was what most people thought. Hearing that she was going to marry the bloodthirsty demon king, she paled on the spot. The Great Elder Princess, who came to deliver the news, told her not to be afr
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 329 Who Schemed Against Whom?
"Tell me, what's going on?" Ao Chenyi said sternly. His cold eyes turned from the maid to the County Princess Yuanyun, who was trembling and clearly shaken. The words that came from his mouth became more and more violent. "Otherwise, I'll kill your whole clan."If this threat had been said by someone else, the maid might not believe it. However, when she heard it directly from the most famous bloodthirsty devil in the capital, she believed it more than 10,000 times over."County Princess, save me, save me." She was so frightened that she could only turn to the County Princess Yuanyun for help."I, this... this is my maid..." The County Princess Yuanyun tried her best to calm down and spoke to Ao Chenyi. However, when she saw his eyes which looked as cold as that of a poisonous snake, she stopped talking."She's the County Princess's maid, so she's at my disposal." Ao Chenyi smiled sinisterly. "Send her away."Two tall
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 330 Meeting Ning Yuling Again
In the end, the matter of the County Princess Yuanyun was suppressed. Then, there were rumors in the capital city. Following the example of the Third Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor, the County Princess Yuanyun would cultivate quietly in the nunnery to pray for her dead father's soul. The rumors were spread all over the capital city. People said that the County Princess Yuanyun was not only noble, but also filial.Compared with the Third Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor, she was a rare and good girl.However, another rumor gradually spread, saying that the reason why the County Princess Yuanyun went to the nunnery was that she had no choice, but to do so. Initially, she had a fiancé, but she framed another woman before she got married. She was extremely vicious.At first, only a few people were talking about this rumor. Most of them did not believe it. But somehow, the rumor became more and more rampant and mystifying. Some peo
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 331 Arrogant, Junior Concubine Xu's Provocation
Seeing that a concubine even though herself high and said something so offensive, Ning Xueyan sneered. "Junior Concubine Xu, how do you know I was doomed to be incompatible with the imperial family? Do you mean all the Young Ladies who were eliminated in the contest were born at odds with the imperial family?" Although she said in a soft voice, she showed no mercy to fight back.Junior Concubine Xu was so embarrassed that she could not even utter a word. All the Young Ladies who had been eliminated in the contest were from noble families, of course, she did not dare to offend so many of them. Even if she were Lord Protector's wife, she would not dare to say yes, let alone she was only a concubine.When she heard what Ning Xueyan said, Junior Concubine Xu's face turned pale and all the words got stuck in her throat."Enough! Since you have offered your greetings, you can leave now. It's unnecessary to have such trifles ruin our mood." Madam Dowa
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 332 Fourth Prince's Lobbyist
"Fifth Sister, you're smart to say so." Ning Huaiyuan tapped the table to show his admiration for Ning Xueyan. "In fact, it's quite simple. I didn't offer to make a match, but someone asked me to do this, so I have to tell you. He is noble and nice, so if you can be with him, you'll have a promising future. We may need to count on you later.""Who is it?" Ning Xueyan asked vigilantly."Fifth Sister, don't worry. Of course, it's Fourth Prince." Ning Huaiyuan laughed and gestured Ning Xueyan to sit down. Then he continued, "Fifth Sister, Fourth Prince has a deep affection for you. He had made up his mind to marry you at first sight. If you could be chosen in the Beauty Contest this time, he would definitely ask His Majesty to marry you to him. With your condition, you'll become his co-consort at least.""Fourth Prince Ao Mingwan?" Ning Xueyan frowned. She didn't have much contact with Fourth Prince before, even less than the contact with Third Pr

"What will you do now?" Ning Xueyan had to take two quick steps to catch up with Ao Chenyi's pace. "Destroy the nine barbarian states alongside Wen Xueran?""No." Ao Chenyi raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously. "I'll negotiate with Wen Xueran."Confused, she repeated, "Negotiate?""The people of the nine barbarian states have always been different from those of the central plains. They're valiant and barbaric. For many years, they have wanted to invade us. If it weren't for the princes of Annan holding down the front, the nine barbarian states would have attacked us a long time ago. Annan troops have fought the nine barbarian states more than our troops did, and they have a better chance of winning too."Ao Chenyi said calmly. He didn't like the nine barbarian states in the slightest. If it weren't his father forbidding him from going to the faraway hinterland of the nine barbarian states, where death was almost certain, he wo
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 677 Sudden Revolt in the Palace
It didn't take long for Qingyu to return from the Lord Protector's Manor with a new piece of news. It was said that there had been a haunting in the prayer hall of the manor.Rumor had it that an older maid became ill from the fright of seeing a ghost.A long time ago, the Cloud Reflection Courtyard was said to be haunted too. No one dared to come close at that time, not even during the day. Even though the rumors died down later on, a few people who were deeply affected by the events said that the situation was still grave then.Therefore, even though only a maid had seen the ghost, the rumors spread like wildfire in the manor.The prayer hall used to be Madam Dowager's favorite spot. It was later used to imprison Madam Ling for some time. Now that Madam Ling was dead, everyone feared that she was the ghost. It was said that Madam Ling was an evil woman when she was alive. Even in death, she might become a malicious ghost. The sit
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 676 A Gentle Night
Ao Chenyi was so close that his handsome face was all that Ning Xueyan could see, and he didn't look all that happy. Then, she realized that she had been holding tightly onto a strand of his black hair.She flung her hand and hastily released the strand of hair in her hand. She even caressed the hair on his temples with a wide smile. "Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up?"Ning Xueyan looked truly confused as if she really didn't know that she had grabbed Ao Chenyi's hair until it hurt."Playing dumb, huh?" he said coldly, frowning at her. His slender fingers reached out and lightly pinched the wing of her nose."Ouch!" Ning Xueyan held her nose pitifully. Her limpid eyes seemed glazed over as if brewing tears."Now you know it hurts!" Ao Chenyi's thin lips were curved into a smile. He was satisfied to see her not daring to voice her frustration.Ning Xueyan nodded firmly without

"Can you remember it now?" Ao Chenyi narrowed his eyes and knocked on their table with his slender fingers. His voice sounded a tad threatening."I… I really can't remember." Ning Xueyan felt like she had thought of all the possible answers but she was still coming up empty. She had no choice but to admit her fault."You really can't remember?" His beautiful eyes curved into a charming arc and his expression was sinister. Sure enough, this was a bad situation to be in. She didn't even hesitate to grab his hand with a bright smile on her tender face."Even if I can't remember, you can still remind me, right?" She knew it would pay well to cajole this man.Ao Chenyi wasn't polite with her either. He turned his hand over and pinched her soft face. His expression had improved considerably. There was a faint smile on his face as he asked, "If I tell you, can you really understand and remember what it is?""Of course I can!"
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 674 Madam Dowager Liu's Message
It seemed that at this point of the letter, the Empress couldn't continue anymore. There were only tear stains on the paper, followed by wide empty spaces.Then, the Empress said how reassured she was that Madam Ming would be taking care of her newborn. Madam Ming would be a fine mother. She had also asked someone to watch over Madam Ming and the newborn. Their statuses in the previous dynasty had vanished like smoke. Time was always moving forward and the changing of imperial dynasties was inevitable.The only tragedy was the eternal separation of her from her husband, and of her from her daughters.The only reason she had written the letter was that she couldn't help herself. If she never said anything, her child would never know the truth. That would have been for the best. Yet, she couldn't accept this, so she would hand the letter to the person who would be looking after Madam Ming. If Ning Ziying's identity was revealed to the world one d
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 673 A Letter Within a Letter

Even without the title, he was still the most authoritative figure in the manor.Madam Dowager collapsed as soon as she heard the news of his death. She became ill and bedridden, unable to get up.Ning Xueyan couldn't leave the palace freely due to her status as the Empress. She sent Qingyu and Mother Han to the manor and had them inquire about Madam Dowager's health in her place. Mother Han returned to Prince Yi's Manor afterward while Qingyu entered the palace to report to Ning Xueyan.It was inconvenient for Mother Han to live in the palace because she had a son to take care of. Instead of entering the palace with Ning Xueyan, she stayed in Prince Yi's Manor as the housekeeper. Ning Xueyan was prepared to release her from the manor when the situation stabilized in
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 672 News from Ming Feiyong
"The Empress discovered a secret tunnel under Chenyuan Palace by accident. She never told anyone about it. She even killed the maid that discovered the tunnel with her and accompanied her in walking through the tunnel. In other words, she was the only one who knew about it," Ning Xueyan explained.This was the Empress' secret. To prove it, she used Yun Luoluo's incident as an example. When Ning Xueyan was drugged in Chenyuan Palace, the Empress wanted to take her to a room. There, a man would sneak into the palace through the secret tunnel.If Ning Xueyan woke up and discovered herself in disheveled clothes in the presence of another man, she would surely panic. To protect her secret, she would surely agree with whatever the Empress wanted. The Empress wanted to use Ning Xueyan to force Ao Chenyi into accepting his "affair" with Yun Luoluo.Unfortunately, Ao Chenyi had appeared all of a sudden. She didn't dare to do anything with him around, so

Ao Chenyi didn't try to persuade her this time. This had bothered her for so long that she would continue to suffer for it if she didn't cry it out now. He held her tighter and allowed her to wet the front of his robe. She didn't brawl. All she did was close her eyes and let her tears stream down her face. When her tears finally dried, she sat quietly in Ao Chenyi's embrace for a long time.It was so quiet inside the room that she could finally calm down.Her hands were being held so tightly in Ao Chenyi's hand that she could feel the callus in his palm. He was Prince Yi, the late Emperor's beloved prince who grew up to be the infamous Demon King. Those who mentioned his name would often be frightened and alarmed. Only she knew how difficult his life had been.Ao Chenyi was still young when he drew his elder brother's jealousy and suspicion. He was framed, imprisoned, and nearly died. His fiancee abandoned him at his lowest point, sought shelte
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 670 About the Empress of the Previous Dynasty...
"It was and wasn't an accident. He could only blame himself. No matter what, he was the one who forced my hand and cornered me to this state. He ruined my everything. Him dying in my hands could be considered as his retribution."The Empress began to look calm again. She turned her head and stared at Ning Xueyan with a trace of sadness in her eyes. "I invited you here to ask you to let go of my family. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with my family. They're just a small and useless noble family. In exchange for their safety, I'll tell you a secret."Her voice had lost her previous agitation and anger, leaving only a sense of helplessness. She had never put any hope in her family. She thought that she would be able to help her people after gaining power but now that she was in trouble, she was worried that her family would be implicated and sentenced to death.She had resented her family countless times for marrying her off to the Empero
