"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
Seeing Ning Xueyan coming out, Lanning came forward to report. "Young Lady, I heard that he came to see the First Young Master. Then, he went to see the First Madam. I don't know when he came here."She was waiting at the gate of the courtyard and did not go in. Every time she came here, she would think of her dead young lady and grieve in her heart. Therefore, she often stopped at the gate of the courtyard, but she could still see it clearly from where she was.So, when she saw Xia Yuhang standing there and calling out to her Young Lady. Lanning hated Xia Yuhang as much as Ning Xueyan when she saw him. Her hatred of him was equal to her Young Lady Ning Ziying's love for him. This man abandoned the gentle Young Lady Ning Ziying and married the Eldest Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor. Everyone knew what it meant.Since he had taken the initiative and gained benefits, why did he act like he loved Ning Xueyan so much now? Lanning was worri
"Are you saying that someone changed the material on purpose? Why would the person change the material you don't like to the material you like?"After thinking about it, Lanning felt there was something wrong, but she could not figure out what was wrong. So, she turned around and asked Ning Xueyan, who was holding the set of clothes in her hands.Ning Xueyan picked up the clothes, put them to the tip of her nose and sniffed them. Then, she looked at them under the sun, and a half smile crossed her lips. As expected, they had really put in a lot of effort. Under the sun, there was a faint trace in the sleeves. A person would not be able to tell if he or she did not look closely.Nobody would scrutinize the clothes from the embroidery shop in the sunshine, inch by inch.Although she did not know the specific intention, there must be a follow-up. She looked down and chuckled. It appeared that those people would not give up until she d
"If there's a problem, you can just say it." Madam Dowager felt that Ning Yuling was pleasing to the eyes now, so she asked." Eldest Brother-in-law came to see Eldest Brother just now. He said that Eldest Sister fell into the water, got injured and became ill." Ning Yuling frowned slightly and looked anxious. "Last time when something like that happened in our Manor, my mother said that Eldest Sister was seriously injured and could not be hurt again. But this time, I don't know if it's serious..."Her words were not obvious, and she deliberately avoided stating something. However, everyone present knew that it was about Ning Ziyan's abortion. Madam Dowager's eyebrows were furrowed. If a woman suffered bodily injuries, it would affect her reproduction system.For Madam Dowager, Ning Ziyan's reproduction status was also related to the friendly relationship between the Lord Protector's Manor and the Minister Xia's Manor. If Ning Ziyan really had
Ning Xueyan wore a set of thick plain-white clothes today, but it was a bit old. As the Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor, it would be a shame for her to go out in such clothes."Yes, Fifth Sister, your dress is a bit old. Fortunately, Grandmother made new clothes for us. You can choose a new suit of clothes. Anyway, I'll choose one. It's shows grandmother's love for us, and I like those clothes very much." Ning Yuling said with a smile.Her words were subtle. If she did not wear it, it seemed that she had failed to live up to Madam Dowager's good intentions. So, Ning Xueyan had to wear it.Ning Xueyan smiled slightly and rubbed her handkerchief with her fingers. Then she covered her mouth to hide a trace of sarcasm. As expected, there was something wrong with the clothes, and it was also related to Ning Yuling. Ning Yuling was afraid that she would not wear the clothes, so she put pressure on her intentionally.Since it was
"Young Lady, Fifth Young Lady has entered the carriage. Shall we go ahead of her?" Ning Yuling's maid, Yanyue, lifted the corner of the curtain and saw Ning Xueyan getting into the carriage in front of her. She reported to Ning Yuling in a low voice."No, if so, it will arouse the little bi*ch's suspicion." Ning Yuling scratched her hand, feeling a little itchy."But what if they misjudged the target and bumped into you?" Yanyue put down the curtain in her hand, shifted her body, and said this uneasily. When she thought that there might be danger later, she could not calm down. If she were not careful, she would die as well."It's impossible. They may bump against our carriage at most." Ning Yuling sneered smugly with a trace of hatred in her eyes. She subconsciously scratched her wrist. This time, Ning Xueyan would be either dead or disabled. If she had good luck, there was still Xia Yuhang.This time, Ning Xueyan would not be abl
"Fifth Sister..." Xia Yuhang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ning Xueyan again. "Eldest Brother-in-law, you should go there quickly. Otherwise, Second Sister might die."Xia Yuhang looked at the anxious-looking Ning Xueyan, who was sitting, with one hand on the ground, and still neatly dressed. A trace of darkness flashed in his eyes. He had no choice, but to mount the horse and chase after Ning Yuling's carriage.Ao Chenyi sat on the horse with no expression on his face, and looked coldly at the thin and weak girl who had fallen to the ground. After seeing a drop of blood next to her hand on the ground, there was a trace of anger in his cold eyes. He pulled the whip out from the wheels of the carriage, reached out his hand, and wrapped it around Ning Xueyan's slender waist, enclosing her in his hold.Xinmei hurriedly got up from the other side and helped Ning Xueyan up.The situation was critical. Even Xinmei, as a
