The half-closed door was pushed open. Madam Ling struggled to hold back a burst of pain and looked at the door. What appeared in front of her was indeed Ning Xueyan's face. She lifted her leg as if she was about to come in. Madam Ling gritted her teeth and sat down on the ground heavily. She only felt a terrible pain coming from her lower abdomen. The pain made her scream and roll to the ground. Red blood immediately spread from the lower part of her body.
"Fifth Young Lady, you... how can you do this..." The shout turned into a scream. Not only at the entrance of the room, but also outside the courtyard, there was a sound. Outside the courtyard, Vice Minister Ling also heard it and hurriedly came in after a servant, accompanied by Mother Qin, who was Madam Dowager's henchman.
When Vice Minister Ling Huanian came to the manor, the messenger could not find the Marquis, so he reported to Madam Dowager. No matter what happened to Madam Ling, Ling Huanian was s
“You are talking nonsense!” Ling Huanian’s body trembled when he heard about the Intoxicating Peach Blossom Wine. He hurriedly cried out in a stern voice.Ning Zu'an, standing on one side, looked at Ling Huanian's face suspiciously, and his eyes were filled with coldness and anger."You will know whether it is nonsense or not. God is watching your every move. Do you think you and Madam Ling can get away from the retribution?" Ning Xueyan said coldly and lightly. She took two steps inside and looked at Madam Ling, who was lying on the bed with a pale face. There was a sneer at the corner of her mouth.Ling Huanian did not want to talk about the past, so he changed the topic and said angrily, while pointing to Madam Ling, who was lying on the bed, "Well, let's not talk about anything else. It is about the fact that you pushed your mother today.""Who saw that?" Ning Xueyan asked lightly."I... there is no need to say any
In the end, Madam Ling's matter was settled quietly. It was announced that Madam Ling had been sent to Mingyuan Temple outside the city to cultivate.As for the child in her belly, Madam Ling had only herself to blame. Ning Zu'an had proved that she directed and acted by herself to frame Ning Xueyan. By chance, Ning Zu'an saw the whole process. It could be said that the entire play happened under Ning Zu'an's nose.When Ning Zu'an thought of this child who could not be born at all, and the drug that Madam Ling used on him in Auspicious Clouds Courtyard, it was as if he had swallowed a fly, and he could not even talk about it. He almost took Madam Ling's life on the spot. If Ning Huaiyuan and Ling Huanian had not begged him for mercy then, Madam Ling would not have survived this time.Ning Xueyan went back early. After Madam Dowager came, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, so she asked Mother Qin to send Lanning and her back.
"Zu'an was going to request the emperor to bestow on him the title of Princely Heir. How could it be possible now? It is Madam Ling, that bi*ch, who harmed Yuan'er," Madam Dowager said with hatred. She had always looked down on Madam Ling's background, so since Madam Ling came to the manor, she had kept Ning Huaiyuan by her side. She had gone through a lot of trouble for Ning Huaiyuan. She always gave him the best because he was the next master of the Lord Protector's Manor.Now that such a thing had happened, Ning Huaiyuan's status was not even equal to that of Ning Huaijing's. How could Madam Dowager not be angry? Her words were full of anger and directed at Madam Ling. Of course, her anger was because she blamed Madam Ling for being a disappointment. She did not blame Madam Ling for doing such a thing, but only that she did not do it discreetly enough so that it would not implicate her grandson."Madam Dowager, what should we do now? It is not appropriat
"Sure enough, she is asking for something. That is why Madam Dowager treats me so kindly now. She is trying to show that we have a close relationship." Ning Xueyan sneered in her mind, but she did not let it show on her face. She sat down where Xiangmiao's hand indicated. Since Madam Dowager was trying to get her to sit down, she could not leave even if she wanted to. Anyway, she did not intend to go right away.According to the rules of Lord Protector's Manor, one should not speak while eating. Ning Xueyan had a little porridge, while Madam Dowager had already finished her breakfast. So, she put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, then rinsed and wiped her mouth.The maids cleared the table and withdrew.Xiangmiao had already sent someone to serve tea to Madam Dowager and Ning Xueyan.Madam Dowager did not look well today. There was a light-colored cloth band on her head. She sat there with one hand supporting her head, loo
Moreover, the attitude of Prince Yi was unclear. After the matter of changing the jade Ruyi, Madam Dowager couldn't dare to say that Prince Yi didn't care about Ning Xueyan at all.But if she couldn't record Ning Huaiyuan as Madam Ming's son, Ning Huaiyuan wouldn't be able to become the Princely Heir of Lord Protector's Manor. Madam Dowager had prepared this for Ning Huaiyuan for a long time.Since Madam Ming had passed away, if Ning Huaiyuan wanted to be recognized as Madam Ming's son, he had to win Ning Xueyan's approval. On behalf of her mother, Ning Xueyan could drink the tea offered by Ning Huaiyuan, which meant that they had officially acknowledged Ning Huaiyuan. Then he would become Madam Ming's son as well as the eldest son of the Lord Protector. It was natural for him to become the Princely Heir of the Lord Protector.At first, Madam Dowager thought that it was a piece of cake. As long as she revealed some of her intentions, Ning Xueya
Ning Huaiyuan and Ning Qingshan separated at the gate of Lucky Garden and went back to their own places, looking normal. However, compared with the calm Ning Qingshan, Ning Huaiyuan looked more worried. He had not fully recovered from his injury and Ning Zu'an was still angry with him. Plus his biological mother was exposed to have created a big scandal—she made a huge mistake—to frame Ning Xueyan in front of Ning Zu'an.His status had also changed from a legitimate eldest son to a concubine's eldest son, and he had no idea when he could become the Princely Heir. How could he take it lying down?"Elder brother, are you really not going to avenge my mother? Is it really a coincidence that she has fallen into such a dilemma? Not to mention the other things, no matter how stupid our mother was, she could not have done such a stupid thing. Is there anything more impossible than slandering Fifth Sister in front of our father? Although she did this, don't you thi
At the critical moment, Ning Xueyan grabbed the half-open door with her hand. She pulled her body forward with all her strength. Fortunately, she managed to stabilize herself at the last moment.At this time, Qingyu also freed one hand to pull Ning Xueyan's hard into the carriage so that the latter, who had half of her body thrown outside, could return when the carriage suddenly stopped."Young Lady, what... what happened?" Qingyu was still in shock. She held Ning Xueyan's hands tightly and asked in a panic.They had walked along this road several times before. Regarding the time, they should be on the road leading to Cold Mountain Temple. Since there were more people going to the temple for incense, the road up to the mountain was relatively large, and no accident should happen normally. However, when Ning Xueyan was thrown out of the carriage just now, she saw her carriage bumping into a tree on the wayside. The carter must have fainted, sitt
A few poisonous needles were directly shot out from Ning Xueyan's blood bracelet, which all hit the tall man's face. This attack surprised him. He hadn't expected that a delicate Young Lady like her would have been a danger to him. Moreover, he just happened to be in a stooped posture, so he fell down by the carriage door without saying a word. His upper body was hanging in the carriage and he lost consciousness."Fifth Young Lady, what should we do now?" At this time, Qingyu opened her eyes. She grabbed Ning Xueyan's sleeve nervously and asked with a little quiver. Although she had been motionless on the ground just now, she had kept secretly watching. Once she realized that something was wrong, she would immediately sit up to protect Ning Xueyan. It was not until after seeing that Ning Xueyan got rid of the tall man that she breathed a sigh of relief.She really regretted it. If she had known then, she would have stayed behind and asked Xinmei to follow F
