Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ning 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

"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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 441 A Lot of Trouble
Ning Xueyan guessed right. The Third Prince held a great feast in his own manor for the ministers who supported the Fourth Prince, but suddenly there was a blazing fire there. This news was sent to the palace urgently and the emperor was rudely awakened from his sleep. He immediately summoned the two princes to his side and scolded them severely. To be specific, his lecture was divided into three aspects: their country, their father and son, the emperor and his minister.The Third Prince said that he had done nothing except for talking and drinking with those ministers. Unexpectedly, someone could not stand it and deliberately set fire to his manor. Hence, he aired his grievances in front of the emperor and kept begging him to find the arsonist to seek justice.However, the Fourth Prince said that he did not know anything. He even had no idea that his people were invited by the Third Prince to have a drink. How would he know that it had something to do with
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 442 Encountering a Fight Again
These days, Ning Ziyan really had a hard time and was more miserable than ever. She took her maid's hand and returned to her courtyard, then found that her knees had swelled and resembled steamed buns. In the morning, she had not served Madam Xia well, so Madam Xia ordered her to kneel till now as a punishment. After such a long time, it would be odd if her knees were not swollen."Young Madam, don't be sad, it will all be better soon. A few days ago, the Eldest Young Master sent you a letter. He told you to take it easy and to hold on for a few more days." Ning Ziyan's personal older female servant was her wet nurse–Mammy Shen, who had taken care of her from childhood. She had come to the Xia Manor with Ning Ziyan. At the moment, when she saw her precious Eldest Young Lady being tortured like this, she was very angry."The Eldest Young Lady is not a principal wife's daughter now, so Madam Xia intentionally tortured her and said the Eldest Young Lady did no
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 443 Madam Dowager's Tentative Questions
Ning Xueyan was allowed to meet guests a few days later. Of course, Ao Chenyi had left early, but he left two guards there. They stood there like two pillars in front of the door with a fierce look, and looked at anyone else with cold eyes as if looking at a dead person. Madam Dowager was deeply alarmed after glancing at them. Such guards must have fought on the battlefield and were incomparable to those from an ordinary family.A glance from them seemed to make others feel cold from the bones and feel gloomy all over.In the room, Ning Xueyan leaned on the bed with a pale face. Her lips were originally much paler than those of an ordinary person, and they looked ashen at the moment.Seeing Madam Dowager come in, she struggled to get up. However, as soon as she straightened up, she fell down heavily again. Two maids hurriedly helped her up. There was a thin layer of cold sweat on her forehead, indicating that she was so weak."Xuey
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 444 Cordial Commandery Princess Xianyun
She was dressed in a light blue peacock dress embroidered with morning glow patterns, and the hem was embroidered with patterns as gorgeous as clouds. The hem moved with her as she walked, making her look extremely beautiful. In addition, she had a fair and elegant figure, a gentle smile and a face as bright as a piece of nice jade. Commandery Princess Xianyun was undoubtedly a pretty girl who was demure and gentle with impressive bearing."Madam Dowager, I heard that sister Yan was injured. I wonder if she has got better now." After saluting Madam Dowager, Commandery Princess Xianyun asked softly, "May I go to see sister Yan now?""Thank you for your concern. Xueyan is taking medicine now. Please wait for a moment and go in after she finishes taking medicine and the smell of medicine is gone," Madam Dowager said politely with a smile.Commandery Princess Xianyun was the future consort of Prince Yi. It was strange that she came to see Ning Xuey

Both of her granddaughters, whom she had bet great hope on, were seriously injured. Fortunately, they were out of danger now. Nevertheless, Madam Dowager was still worried. One of them had internal injuries, and the other one had broken her leg. Now it was hard to tell which one was in a worse state, but they were both in a wretched state anyway. Thinking of this, Madam Dowager felt worried.There came Ning Zu'an's message after investigation from the bottom of the mountain. He only said that those involved in the accidents were all dead. No one knew what had happened. Maybe they were really accidents. It was hard to believe that both of her granddaughters had such accidents. But so what? With the facts in front of her, Madam Dowager had to accept bad luck without complaint.Commandery Princess Xianyun had only stayed at the Cold Mountain Temple for a night. After all, she was going to get married soon, so it was impossible for her to stay here longer. Ther

"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

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.

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

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
