Chapter 397 Provocation, Concubine Yu's Fear
Concubine Yu's courtyard was not far away from Ning Xueyan's Bright Frost Garden. It was also at the edge, and it was smaller than an ordinary yard. When Concubine Yu first came to the manor, Madam Ling said that there was no vacant space for her, so she cleaned up a utility room for her. Therefore, the courtyard was not big.
Hearing that Ning Xueyan was coming, Concubine Yu immediately went to the gate of the courtyard. Although Ning Xueyan had not officially married into Prince Yi's Manor yet, it was already confirmed, because the imperial edict had been issued. How could a concubine of the Lord Protector's Manor neglect someone with such a high status?
Seeing Ning Xueyan, Concubine Yu welcomed her into the room. She asked the maids to leave and then came back.
Ning Xueyan looked around with a smile. It seemed that Concubine Yu was a cautious person. She had only been in the manor for a few days, and the people around her had been arranged by

"Young Lady, it's still the same tea house as the last time. Childe Hua told me that he will be there in the afternoon, and you can go there to meet him." Mother Han came back from outside and hurriedly came in to report. She had sent a letter from Ning Xueyan and waited for a while to get a reply from Ming Yuanhua. It was still considered fast, although it took about four hours for her to make a round trip, even if Ming Yuanhua replied so quickly this time."Mother Han, is your son still at the Qingyun Academy?" Ning Xueyan put down the cold tea. Her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings. After blinking a few times, she looked up and asked thoughtfully.Mother Han did not know why Ning Xueyan was suddenly asking about her son, but she replied honestly, "Dazhuang has nothing else to do at the moment, so he is still at the Qingyun Academy. Is there anything he can do for you?"For the sake of Ning Huaijing, Han Dazhuang had been sent to

"Cousin, don't worry. I won't act rashly. I'll have to trouble you to give these to my uncle." Ning Xueyan opened the small bag in her hand, took out a few outdated pieces of paper, and handed them to Ming Yuanhua. There was a hint of hatred in her eyes. This was the reason why she had deliberately asked Ming Yuanhua for help today."What's this?" Ming Yuanhua asked, while opening the papers. The smile on his face froze, and the corners of his eyes twitched. He looked a bit more solemn. He read through them rapidly. When he could see it clearly, he clenched his teeth and said, "How vicious Madam Ling is!"After he had promised to frame Madam Ming, Concubine Yu's older brother had kept a piece of paper for his safety. It was a banknote for 1,000 taels of silver with Madam Ling's signature. The date of signature was also written on it, which was the day before Madam Ming was framed.The other piece of paper was the written proof of his role in fr

When she got off the carriage, she suddenly saw another carriage at the side. She looked at it carefully and found that the carriage was not from the manor.

Then, she caught up with Ning Xueyan."Young Lady, I heard that Childe Yueming from the regions south of the Yangtze River, came to visit the Marquis. He is now at the Marquis's place." Lanning took a breath, walked to Ning Xueyan, and whispered to her.

In the Bright Frost Garden, Ning Xueyan took out a small parcel. There were really not many things in it. In addition to a letter enclosed within, there were some things her mother had kept for her. They were all broken stuff, including a set of clothes that she had worn when she was a child. It seemed that the clothes had been worn by a child of about two or three years old. Although they were clean, there were some tattered parts around the hem and even some scorch marks."Could this be the clothes she wore when she first came to the Ning Manor?" Ning Xueyan thought.Ning Xueyan wondered under what circumstances did she get lost and how her parents had adopted her at once.
