Chapter 357 A Pair of Sisters Were Disgraced
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ning 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

Ning Xueyan involuntarily touched his high nose, but when she touched him, her hand was suddenly grabbed. He opened his eyes, which sparkled with a cold and bloodthirsty light. When he saw that it was Ning Xueyan, he loosened his grip and touched his forehead. "How long have I slept?" He asked hoarsely."It's only for a while." Ning Xueyan touched her sore hand and said gloomily."Does it hurt?" He loosened his grip on her waist and reached out a big hand to massage her hand carefully. "Why did you stretch out your hand so suddenly? Were you trying to flirt with me when you saw my handsome face?""Prince Yi, you're talking nonsense." Ning Xueyan was shocked and blushed. She pulled her hand away, stood up suddenly and turned around in order to hide her blushing face. She did not know what she was up to, so she felt a little guilty.Seeing that Ning Xueyan was flustered, Ao Chenyi was pleased. He leaned on the couch and asked lazily,

After she fell into the river and was fished out, Ning Ziyan looked like a drowned rat. Ning Xueyan had been asked to go on the boat by Prince Yi. No one dared to go over to Prince Yi's boat to call her, so Ning Yuling accompanied Ning Ziyan back.Although the older female servants rescued Ning Ziyan, the women from the inner courtyard were not the only ones present at that time. So, Ning Ziyan had been humiliated and disgraced. She was sent to the carriage, in a daze. She did not wake up until she got into the carriage. Her clothes were soaked through, and she wore a cloak given by the Lord Peace's Manor. She held a corner of the cloak, dark hatred filling her eyes."Eldest Sister, are you really willing to share Eldest Brother-in-law with her? It took you so much effort to get him back then." Ning Yuling looked calm as she sat beside her. She smiled mockingly. She knew everything about Ning Ziyan, and she gave her a dirty look.If she had not
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 360 Madam Dowager's Plot Failed
"Fifth Girl, I heard that Prince Yi asked you to go with him on the boat?" Madam Dowager asked with a smile. Since Ning Xueyan failed to be chosen, Madam Dowager had not smiled at her. Now, she had a broad smile. She was not as gloomy as she had been a few days ago."Yes, Commandery Princess Xianyun was there." Ning Xueyan nodded. She knew what was the meaning behind Madam Dowager's words. However, it was a foregone conclusion. Madam Dowager would know it, so she might as well reveal something first. In this way, she could offset Ning Ziyan's incident this time. After all, she mentioned what had happened in the past on purpose. From Madam Dowager's reaction, she guessed that Ning Yuling had not said anything about it.She did not believe that Ning Yuling deliberately covered up for her. There must be some reason why she did this. And, this reason was definitely not good for her.Ning Yuling was not as troublesome as she used to be, but she was
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 361 Acuity, Transferring the Disaster
Lanning thought for a while and said, "Young Lady, do you still remember when Madam Dowager made the clothes for you and Third Young Lady, when you went to attend the Beauty Contest? I was the one who received them, back then."Ning Xueyan remembered that. When she and Ning Qingshan went to the imperial palace for the Beauty Contest, Madam Dowager had put in a lot of effort to ensure that they would win the favor of the people in the imperial palace. In addition to bringing some cloth materials and asking them to make clothes for themselves, she also specially ordered several sets of clothes for them from outside.Before she entered the palace, these clothes were sent to the Bright Frost Garden. At that time, Lanning and Qingyu checked and accepted them."Is there anything wrong with these clothes?" Ning Xueyan nodded. The clothes were gorgeous, and the material was not just any ordinary type. Madam Dowager seldom showed her generosity. The imp

"What? There's a bellyband in that set of clothes?" Ning Qingshan looked gloomy, and the anger in her heart flared up. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand into a crumpled mess. "How dare Madam Ling do such a thing?"Except for Madam Ling, no one else in the Lord Protector's Manor could manage do such a thing without leaving a trace.She even thought that since she became the legal daughter through Madam Ling, Madam Ling would unite with the Third Prince through her marriage. Unexpectedly, Madam Ling had set up a trap for her. However, she was now helpless. Judging from the handkerchief in her hand, she knew that her name must be embroidered on the bellyband.If this piece of clothing went missing, she would be ruined!Thinking of this, how could Ning Qingshan not be angry? Madam Ling almost held her life in her hands, but she was not aware of it."Yes, Young Lady. I've checked, but I found no bellyband. I did not
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 363 There Would Be a Great Calamity
"Why is it not a complete set? I specifically asked someone to do it. The Lord Protector's Manor is not an empty shelf. You are all the legal daughters and represent the dignity of the Lord Protector's Manor. Even though such a material is hard to come by, it was still used to make complete outfits for both of you."Seeing that Ning Qingshan was shocked, Madam Dowager thought that she doubted the prestige of the Lord Protector's Manor, so she said this unhappily."No, Grandmother... Did you make the bellyband?" Ning Qingshan asked with a pale face, her voice trembling. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand frantically."Yes, didn't you get it?" In the end, Madam Dowager stared at her with wide open eyes."Yes, Grandmother. I never knew that there was such a thing in it. I... I did not get it at all." Ning Qingshan was so frightened that she was about to cry. Her legs were weak, her body swayed, and she almost fell. Caifen, who w

By the time the bellyband was sent to Bright Frost Garden, it was already night time.From the layout of the clothes placed on the table, it was obvious that it was a complete set, together with the bellyband. This type of clothes-making method was rarely seen. People usually made only an outer garment. But in aristocratic families, a full set of clothes would be made, and the materials used were extremely precious.On the one hand, it was to show respect. On the other hand, it was to show the family's extraordinary background.However, the foundation of the Lord Protector's Manor was not strong, so they had never tried it before. This time, Madam Dowager learned from the noble families how to show that the Lord Protector's Manor had a strong background too. She thought that the people in the imperial palace would respect them. But she did not expect that such a thing would happen in the end."Young Lady, I heard that First Madam w

Everyone saw Mother Qin walking in, and then they heard the sound of a teacup breaking. It was obvious that Madam Dowager was still angry. After a while, they saw Mother Qin coming out with a smile."Good news, First Madam. Madam Dowager says that you can go back now, and you do not have to kneel in the courtyard anymore." Mother Qin said to Madam Ling and then turned to Ning Yuling and the others. "Well, Second Young Lady, Third Young Lady, and Fifth Young Lady, you are all filial. Madam Dowager is aware of that. Go back and have a good rest now. The ground is still wet; hopefully, it will not do you any harm. We do not want Madam Dowager to feel distressed again later."Mother Qin was indeed Madam Dowager's trusted subordinate. She had a smooth tongue, and no one could find fault with her. She even flattered the three young ladies by saying that Madam Dowager did not punish Madam Ling due to their filial piety. Meanwhile, she even showed her concern for t

"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

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

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 news of Ning Zu'an's death shocked everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor. Even though the title had been passed onto Ning Huaijing, Ning Zu'an was the patriarch of the family. 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.

"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
