"What do you mean, Immortality Master? Is there anything wrong with the Fifth Young Lady? Please tell me exactly." Madam Dowager asked.
"It's amazing when the two ladies' fate are combined together! That lady had the hope to become a princess, but she is having rotten luck, and her fortune is on the decline. Now, this lady's fortune is rising, while that lady is having rotten luck. It seems that she is taking advantage of that lady's power."
The Taoist priest looked at Ning Xueyan as he said this.
"Master Immortal, do you mean that I am having good luck when Second Sister is having bad luck? So I swept away my bad luck by tapping on her good fortune?" Ning Xueyan smiled slightly and looked at the Taoist priest. She asked this in a meaningful way, with a hint of coldness in her glistening eyes.
"Yes, you're smart." The Taoist priest did not expect that Ning Xueyan would suddenly speak up, and he was not prepared. He smiled immediate
"Why are you shouting? What's going on?" Ning Zu'an snapped."Marquis, there's something strange going on at Junior Concubine Xu's yard. There are many ants crawling around the corners. A whole colony of dark colored ants. Marquis, please go and have a look!"An ant was not terrible. The horrible thing was that there was a big colony of ants. At the thought of so many ants gathering at one place, the older female servant felt a sudden shiver and almost bit her tongue.How could there be so many ants? And they were all swarming around at the corners of the courtyard. It was frightening to look at them. Such a strange thing, coupled with the Taoist priest's words set off a heated discussion among Junior Concubine Xu's servants.Seeing the older female servant trembling with fear, Ning Zu'an shook his sleeves. Disregarding the flower seeds in Ning Xueyan's place, he went over to Junior Concubine Xu with his servants. No one noticed th
Tears fell from Junior Concubine Xu's face. The timid beauty was crying so bitterly that Ning Zu'an should take pity on his new beloved woman. But now he only felt hatred and anger. He went forward, grabbed her by the neck, and pulled her to her feet."Tell me, why did you do that?"Recently, so many bad things had happened in the Lord Protector's Manor. Even Madam Ling, who had always been gentle, was not what she used to be. Therefore, Ning Zu'an was perturbed. Xu Yulian was able to serve the master in bed, due to her good fortune. As an ignorant concubine, she always tried to please him, so Ning Zu'an felt comfortable.He had always given in to Junior Concubine Xu's requests.He did not expect that she would use this sort of witchcraft to kill the whole family. Besides Madam Dowager's, Madam Ling's, and Ning Yuling's, his birthdate was also written on the dolls. She wanted to ruin the foundation of the Lord Protector's Manor. Ho
Junior Concubine Xu was dead. This tactful woman of the Lord Protector's Manor ended up to be thrown to an old graveyard outside the city, wrapping in a worn matting. A concubine who tried to frame the master of the manor would end no better than an ordinary servant.As she had made such a trouble, the marquis had already shown mercy for not holding her family accountable. Who would care about her life and death? Qing'er had been in Junior Concubine Xu's courtyard and watching what was happening for a while. When she found that the situation had changed after hearing that her sister tried to plot against the marquis, she said nothing and immediately ran to Bright Frost Garden quietly with a pale face.As for her sister's situation, she also turned a deaf ear to it.The other people in the courtyard had already dispersed, and the things in the room were in a mess. Looking at the pendant in his hand, Ning Zu'an's face was livid under the candleli
What happened to Junior Concubine Xu was finally suppressed in the manor. All the people in the manor received the order, so everything remained the same as before when the gate of the manor opened the next day. But nobody would mention the tactful and popular Junior Concubine Xu again, as if she had never been in the manor.Since Ning Zu'an did not go home that day and Ning Huaiyuan was lay in bed to recuperate, the manor was unusually quiet.These were the internal affairs of the Lord Protector's Manor, and the influence had been minimized, so no outsider knew that a concubine of Lord Protector ended up dead for her use of the witchcraft in the manor.What caused a sensation was the news that six candidates among those Young Ladies who attended the Beauty Contest held by the imperial palace won the contest. However, to everyone's surprise, instead of being sent to the manor of the two princes and Prince Yi as the rumors said, all of them were
Ning Xueyan and Ning Yuling did not take the same carriage, but each took a carriage, heading for the Lord Peace's Manor."Miss, there are many carriages outsides, and some noble childes had come," Qingyu said to Ning Xueyan in surprise when she lifted the curtain of the carriage and had a look. They were told that only the Second Young Lady and the Fifth Young Lady were invited, but judging from the situation, it was obvious that Commandery Princess Xianyun did not only invite female guests."The Lord Peace's Manor is Empress Dowager's family, so the flower appreciation party held by Commandery Princess Xianyun must be different from those held by the Young Ladies of other manors. It's normal for her to invite some noble childes." Ning Xueyan explained gently with a smile.She had heard about this in her previous life. Most noble Young Ladies only invited the Young Ladies they were familiar with to enjoy flowers, but obviously, Commandery Prin
Finally, Ning Ziyan and Ning Yuling strode forward angrily, leaving Ning Xueyan and her two maids walking slowly behind.In no hurry, Ning Xueyan followed the leading maid at a leisurely pace. When she arrived at the inner courtyard, she found that today's banquet was put in the garden, looking very special. Several waterside pavilions in the same color stood on the lake, which was not far away from each other. Looking from a distance, the waterside pavilions were shaped like a flower, with the largest one in the center like a flower core.Each waterside pavilion was connected with a long corridor in the water, which was filled with all kinds of flowers. Except for the central pavilion with some VIP guests inside, people could move freely among the waterside pavilions and chatted with each other through the flower-decorated, fragrance lingering corridors.The waterside corridors of the Lord Peace's Manor were very famous. Plus the spring breeze
Ning Xueyan scrutinized Ning Ziyan's face with her eyes. There was a touch of sadness in her bright eyes. She opened her mouth slightly and said, "On the day of my mother's death, nothing could be sadder than that the people managed to hold a wedding in the mansion!"As soon as these words came out, the smiles on all the faces stiffened. These words made them think a lot.In order that the Eldest Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor could get married, they concealed the Second Madam's death. Although Madam Ling shouldered the responsibility, there was another rumor going round that Ning Ziyan also knew what was going on. The reason why she kept the Second Madam's death under wraps was to conceal her infidelity before her marriage, and her pregnancy from having an illicit affair with Xia Yuhang.From this point of view, Ning Ziyan was not a virtuous woman, and she was accused of being unfilial. It could be said that her reputation had been r
Ning Yuling did not lean on Ao Mingyu accidentally. Since she entered the waterside pavilion, her attention had been on Ao Mingyu. She was deeply in love with Ao Mingyu. So many things had happened because she had been unwilling. At this time, when she suddenly saw Ao Mingyu, she was intent on getting close to him. She was so excited and affectionate.Therefore, she had a different focus than the others. She focused on Ao Mingyu and quietly approached him. At this moment, she did not notice that she had become the focus of everyone's attention."Third Prince," she said excitedly. She looked at Ao Mingyu, her eyes sparkling. Madam Ling had promised her that as long as she did not make any trouble, she would be sent to the Third Prince's Manor. Even if she went into the manor as a concubine, she did not care. In the future, she could fight for the position of the Legal Wife.It was rare to see the Third Prince. So, she must try her best to make a
