Therefore, Ning Zu'an did not take it seriously when he was taken away by the Lord Mayor's subordinates. The students of the Academy had a fight. So what?
A rich man's son fainted. When he woke up, Ning Zu'an would pay a little money at most. He thought the Lord Mayor would save his face. Ning Zu'an did not go there in person, but wrote a letter. He stamped the letter with a seal and asked a young male servant to send it to the Lord Mayor.
The lord mayor's family name was Si. He was a goody-goody and did not offend anyone in daily life. Moreover, he was capable of dealing with all types of men. He had a good relationship with Ning Zu'an. When he saw his letter, he would let Ning Huaijing go. As for his son, Ning Zu'an did not care, because his biological mother was only a maid.

Madam Yu was scared and knelt down to pray in a Land-temple, which was not far away from the manor.Since the news that Ning Huaijing had killed someone outside, she had gone crazy and ran to this small, house-sized temple to pray. No one could pacify her. She cried and muttered to herself. She knew that there was nothing she could do now, but only hoped that Ning Zu'an could save her son.The sky outside was already dark. Those who had tried to pacify her earlier, had all gone back, leaving behind only a single lamp in front of a decrepit Buddha statue.This earthen temple had been built by the people here, and everything was simple and crude. It did not matter whether it would work. During normal days, if someone had something on his or her mind, he or she would come here to pray for peace of mind. It would take several hours to reach the temple nearest to their place, so it was inconvenient.Madam Yu closed her eyes, put her pal

"Cousin Yuanhua, no hurry. Ning Zu'an and Madam Ling won't admit it." Ning Xueyan smiled slightly with coldness in her bright eyes. No one knew better than her how vicious and inhuman Madam Ling and Ning Zu'an were. It was worse than a beast that a man had treated his first wife in such a cruel way.What a maid, who had been driven out from the manor years ago, said did not count. Besides, Madam Yu's brother, Yu Hu, was still missing. Even if he showed up again, if he could not provide evidence, he might instead be accused of trying to overturn the case for Madam Ming.Moreover, Ning Xueyan also had another suspicion, so it was not the best time to accuse Madam Ling.Could any evidence be more convincing than Madam Ling to prove it on her own?"Okay. Cousin Xueyan, do I need to go to Madam Yu?" Ming Yuanhua was not a reckless person, so hearing Ning Xueyan's words, he immediately understood her intention. Though he was unwilling, h

At the moment, Ning Yuling was drinking tea quietly while watching Madam Ling losing her temper."Mother is mad at our father because he lied to her. Brother, why aren't you in a hurry? Who may be the master of Lord Protector's Manor in the future is still uncertain!" Finally, Ning Yuling opened her mouth, but what she said sounded sarcastic, even gloating."Shut up! Why are you still making sarcastic comments, instead of comforting our mother at this time?" Ning Huaiyuan shouted, frowning unconsciously. Since they had taken Ning Yuling home, he felt that she changed a lot and grew much more gloomy than before. Though she looked as same as before after regaining her appearance, her personality was quite different from before.In the past, if she faced the same situation, she w
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 345 The Second Young Master, Ning Huaijing
A lot of people crowded in front of the Lord Protector's Manor. Some of them shook their heads while watching what was happening.

The Lord Protector's Manor was no longer an influential family with a good reputation.Today, it even reached a small climax.A woman dressed in plain clothes knelt at the gate of the manor. She did not say a word, but only shed tears silently. She had been kneeling here for two hours, but no one had come out to meet her.What was going on? More and more people gathered watching and soon, it was too crowded that the whole street was blocked."Last time, it was a concubine who knelt here. Who is the woman this time?

Ning Xueyan sneered inwardly, wondering what she was going to do.Ning Zu'an and his concubines were all gone, so everyone was much more relaxed.

Madam Dowager said to Madam Ling coolly.

"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

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!"

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.

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.

"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.
