Chapter 369 Wearing Two Coats
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ning 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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 372 The Unlucky Ning Yuling
As expected, something terrible had happened to Ning Yuling. When she walked into the crowd with Xinmei, Ning Xueyan heard the unidentified laughter of the onlookers. The expressions of the onlookers were quite different from those on her side. And, the crowd here was huge, much more than those on her side.Some people jumped on their feet and smirked as they took a look inside.Inside, Ning Xueyan saw that Ning Yuling had hurriedly pulled on a robe in her panic, and sat in front of the carriage. The carriage was all right and so was the horse. The cart driver was unharmed, and stood at the side. Xia Yuhang's robe was gone, and he was wearing an undergown. He stood aside and had a depressed look."Second Sister, what's wrong with you?" Ning Xueyan rushed to Ning Yuling and crouched down in front of her. She saw Ning Yuling biting her lips and giving her a gloomy look. Ning Yuling did not say a word, but her eyes were full of hatred.
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 373 The End of the Matter
"Madam Dowager wants the Second Young Lady to marry Childe Ling Yi?" A low voice filled with disbelief, showed that she was shocked."That's right. I heard that they will get married as soon as Childe Ling Yi admits to it." Another older female servant's voice came. Standing between the flowers and leaves, Ning Yuling stared at a corner of the wall with a cold look. She clenched her teeth and pulled the handkerchief in her hand into pieces.This was not Qingrong Courtyard, but a small courtyard in a relatively remote garden.It was not a small courtyard because there was only one room in that small place. There was a swing outside, and the environment was serene. Ning Yuling needed to be in a quiet place right now. So, after changing her clothes, she hid here, without even bringing a maid.The first person who found this good place was not Ning Yuling, but Ning Xueyan. But later, Ning Yuling followed her. When she discovered that t

Looking at Ning Ziyan, Ning Yuling smiled crazily. She shouted out loud as if she was out of control. "Tell Mother? Tell her that it's you who caused me to do this. It's you who asked me to frame Ning Xueyan. It's you who wanted to do it as a payback for the shame you experienced at the Commandery Princess Xianyun's Manor."Ning Yuling pointed at Ning Ziyan and said with hatred, "Ning Ziyan, you're a vicious woman. You killed Ning Ziying in order to take away Xia Yuhang, and now you've done so much harm to me. How dare you scold me? If there is anyone else who is even viler and more vicious than me, it's you!"Ning Ziyan seemed to give a disdainful smile at all the others in the Lucky Garden. Everyone looked at her in disgust, as if they were looking at a piece of garbage. Ling Yi even deliberately leaned away from her. It seemed as if he would be infected with a virus if he sat close to her.Her aunt Madam Qian, Ling Yi, her grandmother, her f
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 375 An Accident, an Unexpected Encounter with His Schoolmate
Ning Xueyan was sent out to the street by Madam Dowager, but she did not walk through the gate of the Lord Protector's Manor. She used the back entrance. Ning Huaijing accompanied her. Ning Xueyan did not wear her dress, but was dressed in a Chinese-style jacket and trousers and looked very neat and tidy. No one could tell that Ning Huaijing was walking with his sister in law.The reason why she was asked to go out with Ning Huaijing was because no one else was available from the Lord Protector's Manor.Ning Huaiyuan had been seriously injured and was taking a rest. Although Ning Huajing was a male offspring of the Lord Protector's Manor, they did not have much affection for him, because he had just returned to his own family. Madam Dowager did not really trust him, so she left the matter to Ning Xueyan. At least in Madam Dowager's eyes, she had raised Ning Xueyan for many years. Even if she got no credit, she would be rewarded for her hard work.

Apart from her relatives, she did not know anyone, only a girl from the family next door.But there was an exception. This person was not her family member, but he lived in her house for two years, and they were acquainted with each other for some time. However, she was still a child, and that person was four years older than her. That person was Hua Yunheng, and her parents had asked her to address him as big brother.For two years, she was happy because she was no longer alone.

Although he and Ning Xueyan came here today to specifically find out about the effect of Ning Yuling's matter, it was hard for him to talk about it."The carriage crashed. For some reason, both carriages met with accidents. One of them was smashed. As for the other one, it did not break, but..." Ning Huaijing could not say it. He looked embarrassed, but he could not hide these things from the others."I heard that the Second Young Lady and the Fifth Young Lady were in the carriages of the Lord Protector's Manor, and they were on their way to visit the Eldest Young Lady. They ran into the Eldest Young Lady's husband enroute. Then, something happened. The Second Young Lady and her brother-in-law hugged each other. The scene was hot." Brother Yan covered his face with a fan and then tilted his head forward. He lowered his voice and asked curiously."How did the Second Young Lady get undressed in the carriage? The Fifth Young Lady's carriage also c

"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.

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

She became ill and bedridden, unable to get up.Ning Xueyan couldn't leave the palace freely due to her status as the Empress.

"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
