Chapter 405 Consort Dowager Chen's Old Object
How could Ning Qingshan not be jealous?
Both of them were co-consorts. She felt that she should be nobler than Ning Xueyan. But how could Ning Xueyan gain such honors just because Prince Yi would be marrying the consort and the co-consort at the same time? Even though she tried to worship the ancestors ahead of Ning Xueyan before the clansmen, it came to naught because of the incident at the Cloud Reflection Courtyard.
Those people did not pay any attention to her at all. She entered the ancestral temple and worshipped the ancestors first. When she came out, nobody noticed her. Instead, they were whispering to each other and talking about the affairs at the Cloud Reflection Courtyard. So, no one cared about her.
But now, Prince Yi had sent the betrothal gifts before the Third Prince. Ning Qingshan had privately requested the Third Prince to pay the bride-price earlier, but she received no response at all.
She twirled her handkerchi

Third Prince, Ao Mingyu, had really come over in a hurry. It was urgent, and he had something to ask the family members in the inner courtyard of the Lord Protector's Manor. Therefore, after exchanging a few words with Ning Zu'an, he requested to see Madam Dowager in the inner courtyard.Ning Zu'an saw that although the Third Prince was still calm, there was a little impatience in his eyes. Knowing that it was urgent, he did not say anything more. He asked the young male servant to run into the inner courtyard to inform Madam Dowager, while he accompanied the Third Prince directly to the backyard. The Third Prince had come to the backyard of the Lord Protector's Manor many times. Besides, Ning Qingshan was going to marry into the Third Prince's Manor soon, so he was closer to them than anyone else.Therefore, although it was not in line with the rules of etiquette, Ning Zu'an did not care about it. Anyway, sooner or later, they would be a family.
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 407 A Mark, See It Again
She was familiar with the mark in front of her eyes, because she had it in her previous and present life.The mark on her shoulder was the same as the one Ao Mingyu was showing to them now.In her previous life, her mother had repeatedly warned her that she could not show the mark to anyone. When she was a child, her mother bathed her. When she grew up, she bathed herself. Even her maid had never seen the mark. Now, she still maintained that habit.Fortunately, Ning Xueyan did not like to be bathed by her maids. Neither Qingyu nor Lanning felt that it was wrong for her to bathe herself. Xinmei was disguised as a maid, but she was a secret guard, so she had never done this kind of thing. She also did not think that it was wrong for Ning Xueyan to take a bath alone.Only she knew that this was all due to her mother's order, and the reason for this order was because of the "mark" on her body.She had kept it a secret in h

"Fifth Young Lady, you and I are fated." Looking at Ning Xueyan coming over, Ao Mingyu suddenly smiled gently at her. With his bright eyes, he had a gentle look, which made people feel at ease with him."Fated?" Ning Xueyan frowned slightly. She did not think that she and Ao Mingyu were fated. It seemed that Ao Mingyu was like a piece of sweet candy from the beginning. He had plotted, but she was not involved in the plots. She did not know where the so-called fate came from.Ao Mingyu did not seem to wait for Ning Xueyan's answer. He looked at her delicate and beautiful face and said slowly, "In Cold Mountain Temple, when I first saw you, you looked much worse than now. I did not expect that the Fifth Young Lady, who was unknown to the public and quite timid then, would look like this today."Without the deliberate cover of her thick bangs, one could clearly see her beautiful face. The most attractive feature on her face was her shimmery eyes,
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 409 Lotus Pond, Ning Xueyan pushed Ning Yuling into the Water This Time
Ning Xueyan went to the Auspicious Clouds Courtyard with Qingyu. Before she arrived at the gate of the Auspicious Clouds Courtyard, she saw the maid, who had blocked her way previously, running away quickly. Ning Xueyan recognized this maid because she was Ning Ziyan's second-class maid. She had seen her before when she went to Ning Ziyan's courtyard. Later, she heard that the maid had gone to the Xia Manor with Ning Ziyan.Madam Ling wanted to see Ning Xueyan, but she asked Ning Ziyan's maid to come over and stopped Ning Xueyan in a rude manner. However, she was not like the Fifth Young Lady from before.Standing by the lotus pond in the corridor of the courtyard, Ning Ziyan raised her head and stood there, with two maids. She was dressed in an outfit with a bright red phoenix pattern. She looked at Ning Xueyan with an unfriendly face."Is this Fifth Sister? It's so hard to invite you here. Mother is ill, but you were still wandering about wit

"Fifth Young Lady, you're finally here. The First Madam has been talking about you these days, saying that you have not been here for a long time." Mother Chen came out and welcomed Ning Xueyan with a smile, before she stepped into the room.Madam Ling was sick. Ning Qingshan and Ning Xueyan were both her daughters, so they should be taking care of her when she was in bed. However, Madam Dowager did not like Madam Ling. She only said that the two Young Ladies were going to marry into the royal family and now had noble statuses. They were also in a hurry to prepare their dowries, so they did not have time to accompany her. She was even afraid that they would get sick, so she told them not to go to the Auspicious Clouds Courtyard.Madam Dowager was the oldest person in the manor, so they had to listen to her. Besides, Madam Ling did not like Ning Qingshan and Ning Xueyan. She felt annoyed when she saw them, because her two biological daughters were a disappoi
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 411 The Aggrieved Madam Ling
"The Third Prince seemed strange today. He asked about Sister Ziying of the Cloud Reflection Courtyard and took out a picture scroll. He asked us if we had seen Sister Ziying before. Later, he went over there by himself and said that he was going to check something out. He also asked Lanning about it just now."Ning Xueyan smiled indifferently, but her beautiful eyes fell on Madam Ling's face.As expected, Madam Ling's face paled. She clutched the quilt and then loosened her grip intermittently. "A picture scroll? What is it?""I'm not too sure either. My grandmother looked very surprised. She even said that it's a 'butterfly pattern.' It was indeed a butterfly-shaped birthmark. I have never seen Sister Ziying before. Although Lanning used to be her maid, she was not her personal maid. She had never bathed her, so she said that she had never seen it before."Ning Xueyan replied. This matter could not be hidden from others. Although

When Ning Xueyan came out of the room, there was no one in the lotus pond. Knowing that Ning Ziyan had been helped out, she went out along the corridor. When the older female servant at the gate of the courtyard saw Ning Xueyan, she nodded and bowed to her with great respect. She even made way for Qingyu."Young Lady, I got it." When they went outside and looked around, Qingyu stepped forward, took out her handkerchief, and spread it in front of Ning Xueyan. There was a small piece of joss stick in it. Qingyu had secretly broken off a piece, when everyone was busy and hid it in the handkerchief.Before entering the manor, Ning Xueyan had hinted to her to do that.The incense was not lit, but when one came close to it, it still had a strong fragrance. Smelling the scent made one flush and have palpitations. "Pick it up, wrap it up, and send it to the pharmacy outside to get someone to check what it is."Although Ning Xueyan had made
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 413 Where's the Military Medallion of the Former Dynasty?
"Prince Yi, are you also looking for the former princess?" Ning Xueyan looked up and asked with a smile. Since he had no intention of hiding it from her, she asked him directly, without attempting to hide anything as well."I heard about the news of the former Great Elder Princess in regions south of the Yangtze River. Everyone thought that she had been in regions south of the Yangtze River all that time. Nobody expected that she had come to the capital and lived here for three years. The Lord Protector's Manor's protection was very adequate. My two nephews have made a great effort to try and find her."The corners of Ao Chenyi's thin lips lifted slightly. His gaze fell on Ning Xueyan. He said those words figuratively."Does this have anything to do with the Lord Protector's Manor?" Ning Xueyan's heart skipped a beat, and her long eyelashes fluttered like a feather fan. She asked in surprise, "Isn't this something that no one should be aware of
