The ridicule of everyone was coming to Ning Yuling.
Ning Yuling's face was pale. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the Third Prince with a grievance, hoping that he would stand on her side.
"Second Young Lady, if you're feeling sick, you'd better see a doctor early. Don't let it hurt you!" said the Third Prince who gave her a heavy blow. It meant that she was sick and went out to harm people, like a madman!
Seeing that the Third Prince looked at Ning Xueyan with gentleness and care, Ning Yuling was jealous. Suddenly, she cried with her hands covering her face as she ran back. "Ning Xueyan, how dare you do that? How dare you seduce the Third Prince in front of me? I'll never let you go." Ning Yuling thought in mind.
Seeing Ning Yuling run away, the group of servants looked at each other and immediately followed her.
It became quiet.
"Fifth Young Lady, are you okay?" The Third Prince took two steps
Ning Yuling didn't expect Madam Dowager to yell at her. Looking at Madam Dowager's unpleasant face, Ning Yuling was shocked, and she couldn't help but say, "Grandma!" Such a wronged look made people feel she was pitiful. "How could you get into the prince's manor like this? What did you say? You said that she led you there and framed you intentionally. But you asked someone to beat your sister in front of so many people. Now you dare to deceive me. Don't you know I'm your grandmother? Your father and mother have spoiled you." Looking at her, Madam Dowager was so angry that she couldn't help shouting at her. She had wanted Ning Xueyan to be responsible for this matter, explaining to others that Ning Xueyan treated her sister's maids badly and beat her sister's maids so that Ning Yuling angrily defended her maid, then the two argued in the back mountain. But Ning Yuling didn't tell Madam Dowager that the Third Prince saw what had
Madam Dowager pressed on her chest, so furious and livid at what Ning Yuling had just said, which almost caused her to have a heart attack. The messages Ning Yuling conveyed was that in the Lord Protector's Manor, Madam Ling prevailed her on power. Though she barely laid her hands on the matters in the Manor, she couldn't bear such a demeaning attitude towards her. "Force her out, force her out, leave her kneeling in her own yard, and without my permission, she shall never get up.” After yelling out, she was all worked up and panting heavily. Sensing the severity of this situation, with no hesitation, maids and older female servants unambiguously dragged Ning Yuling out. After all, Ning Yuling hadn't dared to cross the line so far. As soon as she was outside, she cleared her hair, angrily shoved two older female servants' hands away and strode forward. Two older female servants looked at each other, knowing there was nothing they could do but following behind her, whic
So, when it came to Third Prince, she yearned for nothing that could happen between them. Initially, she had no intention to swoop in and compete with Ning Yuling. What Third Prince would do was literally none of her business, and the reason she didn't want Ning Yuling to marry Prince was that she had been afraid Madam Ling would capitalize on the power coming along with this marriage against her. "If Third Prince knew the opposite side of you that you act so hard-hearted, I am not sure whether he would still treat you nice and kind." Something funny occurred to Ao Chenyi which made him laugh even harder. His eyes, falling on Ning Xueyan, were so gloomy and cold that made her whole body nervous, like being hit by something resplendent yet glacial. She couldn't afford a slice of suspicion from Ao Chenyi, was afraid to remove her eyes away first. She had no choice but to confront that creepy gaze, while in her heart deep trembling with fear. She kept tellin
"Our Young Lady is the Fifth Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor. She's coming here to meet Madam Dowager." Qingyu stepped forward, raised her head and answered. During this period of time, Qingyu had been trained to be no longer as timid as before. She was neither humble nor arrogant when she answered the eunuchs. Someone came in to ask for permission. After a while, an older female servant came out and nodded while looking at Ning Xueyan who was blocked outside. Then the eunuch raised his hand and let go. Qingyu was left in the corridor and Ning Xueyan went into alone. Although she didn't look up, she had seen everything in the room as soon as she came in. In the spacious room, a beautiful woman in a piece of clothing embroidered phoenix was sitting at the top seat. She had an oval face and her eyebrows were slender, showing her gentleness while speaking and smiling. It was hard to believe that such a pure and gentle woman was the favored
Ning Yuling was unsatisfied when she first heard that she was had the same reward as Ning Xueyan's. But when she heard that she could still get a Phoenix Hairpin, she looked up at Honored Consort Ya in surprise. Her eyes were widened and she was very happy. Then she turned to Ning Xueyan and glared at her with satisfaction. The Phoenix Hairpin was not something that ordinary people could have! Only the consort of the royal family could be called the Phoenix. "Since Honored Consort Ya noble rewards me with such a Phoenix Hairpin, she must be satisfied with me and wants me to marry the Third Prince." Ning Yuling thought in mind. Madam Dowager also was very happy and relaxed. Unexpectedly, Honored Consort Ya didn't ask about the trouble Ning Yuling made before, which pleased Madam Dowager. She deliberately asked Ning Yuling to dress up and then come here in order to Ning Yuling could leave a good impression to Honored Consort Ya.
Seeing that the Honored Consort Ya going into the inner room to have a bath, the 30-year-old woman left the house. "Aunt Xiang, it's late, where are you going?" Seeing Aunt Xiang came out, the eunuch who guarded the door asked with a smile. "I heard that there is a sole chrysanthemum outside our yard. I'll go and see it first. If Honored Consort Ya asks about it tomorrow, I can tell her." Aunt Xiang answered with a faint smile. She was Honored Consort Ya's servant and in charge of the flowers and plants in Honored Consort Ya's palace for her. She was good at growing flowers and plants, so the flowers in Honored Consort Ya's palace bloomed better than that of anywhere else and even was praised by the emperor. Since these flowers could attract the emperor for Honored Consort Ya, Aunt Xiang was not an ordinary servant anymore. Everyone respectfully called her Aunt Xiang. Aunt Xiang came into the palace with Honored Consort Ya and was Honored Co
Madam Ming wanted her to be childless and also wanted to murder her. Ning Xueyan noticed that something was wrong in medicine, which was the reason why she invited Aunt Xiang to come tonight. But she didn't expect Madam Ling to be so malicious. For a woman, her children were her lifelong dependence. The love came from lover would change one day. Ning Xueyan didn't believe love anymore. If she could succeed in revenge in the future, she wanted to marry an ordinary person and live a simple life. If she had no offspring, it could be imagined how miserable her future life would be. First, she would have no offspring, and then she would die. She couldn't figure out that there would be anyone but Madam Ling who hated her so much. No wonder Madam Ling had kept a low profile for Ning Xueyan these days. She had already poisoned her and waited quietly to see Ning Xueyan get weak step by step and die in the end. Even though Ning Xueyan wouldn't die, she also would h
"Does Madam Dowager also take tonics?" Ning Xueyan thought for a second and said. In the Lord Protector's Manor, the masters were used to taking tonics in winter. Of course, there was no such rule in the Bright Frost Garden. People in the manor said that Madam Ming and Ning Xueyan had been taking medicine all the time and they couldn't eat other tonics randomly in case the effect of the medicine would be influenced. But Ning Xueyan knew that Madam Dowager started taking tonics in autumn which was useful for old people. So Madam Dowager had a small pharmacy, small but complete. Compared with the large pharmacy which was in charge of by Madam Ling, there were more precious medicinal materials in Madam Dowager's small pharmacy. Usually, Madam Dowager kept a close eye on her small pharmacy strictly and always brought good things into it, which made Madam Ling jealous. Ning Xueyan had come up with an idea. Since Madam Ling planned to hurt her, she would let he
