Chapter 432 Indecisiveness Leads to Disaster
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ning 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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 434 A Decisive Survival Escape
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

Ning Xueyan felt that her head was heavy. It was so heavy that she could hardly lift it. She had a sudden burst of fuzzy awareness, and after a long while, she remembered what had happened just now. She took Qingyu to jump out of the carriage. Although the carriage's speed was not fast, they really still could not resist it compared to the two ladies with weak strength. Especially for Ning Xueyan, she had never kept a good body since childhood.Being pulled by the sharp speed, how could she grab Qingyu? Her hand was released and she fell to the ground heavily, rolling around quickly. Then she didn't know what she had bumped into and passed out. Now she only felt pain all over her body, and also wondered whether her bones were broken or not after being hit.She looked at the sky over her head quietly. There were still white fluffy clouds floating in the very blue sky—how beautiful it was! She tried her best to move, but during this period of time, the streng
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 436 Find Qingyu
The imperial guards almost surrounded the hillside. Ao Chenyi's broad carriage was parked on the hillside, and he sat in it. Blood was all over the place. Those were the punks on the street, together with the two punks before. However, they were all alive when they came, but now none of them was alive. All of them were killed by Ao Chenyi."Your Highness, they still haven't found her. But they found a few pieces of cloth just now, and they seem to belong to the Fifth Young Lady." Eunuch Zhu reported cautiously, while lowering his head without daring to breathe heavily. Despite his master's calm look, after serving his master for this long, how could he be unaware that his master had been extremely angry at this moment?"Keep searching." Ao Chenyi's cold voice came from the carriage. Although Eunuch Zhu didn't see his face, he could feel his bloodthirstiness."Your Highness, His Majesty asked you to go back to the palace a moment ago. Do you wan
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 437 Being Rescued and Fed with Medicine
Ning Xueyan didn't expect that Ao Chenyi would come back earlier than Wen Xueran who went to deliver the message.At that time, she was leaning against the couch by the window in a daze. She felt as if she had fallen apart and felt pain all over. She knew that some parts of her body had been scraped, but it was inappropriate to treat such minor injuries here.This place belonged to Wen Xueran. Although he had gone out to deliver the message at this moment, she could be considered staying in a man's place. If she was not cautious enough, there would be some rumors which would ruin her reputation.Therefore, she could not treat those injuries and had to keep them the way they were, otherwise, she would be unable to explain it.Suddenly, the half-closed door was pushed open, and Ao Chenyi appeared at the door. He saw Ning Xueyan lying sideways on the couch and curling up like a wounded animal, with a hint of tenderness across his deep
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 438 Another Accident
"It should be either my good eldest brother or my good third sister, or both of them," Ning Xueyan answered with certainty. This was the question she had been thinking over before, and this should be the correct answer."There should be someone else!" Ao Chenyi raised the corners of his mouth with a trace of sanguinary ferociousness in his eyes. He slowly appeased Ning Xueyan who was injured and then gently put her down, as if he was putting down a rare treasure."Who else intervened in this matter?" Ning Xueyan asked curiously. It was not long before she went out. She had been intercepted before arriving at Cold Mountain Temple. Who was so well-informed? Besides, there was someone else intervening in it. They had quite formidable connections."You don't have to worry about it. Take a good rest for recovery. I don't want to have a lame consort," Ao Chenyi said coldly, and then looked at Ning Xueyan with his charming eyes and stood up. The rage
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 439 Catch Fire, Another Accident
The Third Prince's Manor was on fire!The fire started in the evening, and it was said that it started in the kitchen of the Third Prince's Manor. At that time, the Third Prince was receiving guests, so there were plenty of people bustling in the kitchen. No one knew of which pot the oil spilled out, and then others pots were ignited and the fire rose to the sky at the moment.The sky above the Third Prince's Manor became burning red. Even in the distant Cold Mountain Temple, Ning Xueyan, who was leaning against Ao Chenyi's shoulder and sitting on the couch in front of the window, could clearly see the burning red sky in the distance. Because she had slept a lot during the day, it was not easy for her to fall asleep after waking up this time."Is the Third Prince also one of those behind the accident?" Looking at the flickering sky in the distance, Ning Xueyan slightly closed her eyes, bit her lip and asked softly.Ao Chenyi reache

As Ning Xueyan expected, Ning Qingshan lost control and got angry.At first, when a doctor said that her leg was broken, she was still hopeful. However, all other doctors said that her leg was broken, which triggered her emotional outbursts. After finishing feeling her pulse, the last old doctor stroked his beard hard and was about to issue a long statement to show that he was a doctor of noble character and high prestige."Is my leg broken?" Ning Qingshan asked with a gloomy face. She looked nervous and expectant at the same time."Young Lady, your leg bone has been broken and needs to be set. But I'm not professional at bone setting." The old doctor was a man of wide knowledge and experience. After the young lady was injured, so many doctors were asked to come over at once. It could be seen that this Young Lady was not an ordinary person. So he dared not to guarantee that he could cure her.If he failed to handle it well, he woul

"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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 677 Sudden Revolt in the Palace
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. Even in death, she might become a malicious ghost. The sit

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 Devious First-Daughter Chapter 672 News from Ming Feiyong
"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
