"Third Prince, look at this ornament..." Ning Zu'an said hesitantly as he saw Third Prince's face sink. Now when this matter was put before Third Prince, although he knew that Ning Qingshan could not have a relationship with Prince Yi, he was still so angry. If he did not know about this matter, it would cause much trouble.
"This is the ornament I left with my uncle's care. As for my uncle giving it to Third Young Lady, this is my idea. Just take it, Third Young Lady Ning." Ao Mingyu took a deep breath, and then his expression gradually calmed down, and a gentle smile even appeared on his face.
No one in this room believed these words, but for the Lord Protector's Manor, the aim of asking Third Prince to come was to take out the ornament Prince Yi granted to Ning Qingshan in his presence to get rid of his suspicions. Now that Third Prince gave such a reason, everyone just took it as a fact.
This meant that the most critical part of this problem
If it had been any normal day, Madam Dowager would never have let Housekeeper Ruan in. But now she had a distressed look on her face because she was very sensitive about the porcelain issue. Without thinking too much about it, she waved her hand and said, "Go and ask her to come in. Why does she want to report about the porcelain? Is there someone else's porcelain in the manor that has also been smashed by the cat?"After saying that, she found that Third Prince was also here. However, if she retracted what she said earlier, it might seem obvious and would be somewhat embarrassing.Ao Mingyu said with an easy-going smile, "Madam Dowager, please go ahead with what you have to do. I am not doing anything anyway."Originally, he did not want to visit Ning Qingshan's courtyard. In the Cold Mountain Temple, at the time when he was slapped by Ao Chenyi, Ning Qingshan was in the room and must have witnessed it. When he thought that he had lost face wi
"Father, my maid is not sensible. Please forgive her for my sake!" Ning Qingshan had to plead for Caifen. Indeed, she had to do it because she was the one who smashed the porcelain and had asked Caifen to pass on a message. If pushed to the extreme, Caifen might start to talk nonsense."Third Sister, don't beg for mercy for them. Look at the people around you, they were just chasing a wildcat and ended up breaking all the fine porcelain in your room. Later, in order to shirk responsibility, they deliberately stirred up trouble. How did Mammy Luo discipline them? If you do not punish such a maid severely and if all the people in the manor were to follow what they do, what will we do then?"Ning Xueyan showed a bit of anger, as if she was defending Ning Qingshan. Then she continued, "Third Sister, don't worry. I won't let anyone bully you. She did not even listen to you, took the opportunity to stir up trouble and her attitude is so impertinent. She even thou
It was really quiet during the next few days. Apart from the fact that the servants gossiped among themselves for a long time because the things in Foggy Courtyard were moved away, there was really nothing much happening.Foggy Courtyard's furniture had been rearranged, but everyone knew that the new ones were of a lower quality than the original ones. The original ones had been taken out from Madam Ming's inventory and used to decorate Foggy Courtyard; however, they were all removed. No one had any information about the quality or value of the new furniture that was sent over.All of a sudden, the servants who had originally been optimistic about Ning Qingshan became more and more attentive to the affairs in Bright Frost Garden. It was whispered that Fifth Young Lady was still Marquis's biological daughter even though she had a bad time before, while Third Young Lady was not his biological daughter, even though she was very strong.The one who
"Young Lady, what shall we do now?" Caifen held Ning Qingshan's arm and walked very slowly. After leaving Ning Huaiyuan's study, Caifen could not help but ask.Caifen had accidentally caused Ning Qingshan to fall down and become a laughing stock in front of Third Prince, so she felt very guilty about the incident. When she recovered and was able to move slightly, she immediately came to serve Ning Qingshan and stayed at Ning Qingshan's side all the time."Humph! Ning Huaiyuan, you are really thinking about that bad girl!" Ning Qingshan stood still under a tree and snorted coldly. Then she turned to look at the study room and cursed bitterly. Her eyes were full of jealousy and hatred. She pulled down a branch hanging before her, tugging it so hard that a few green leaves fluttered to the ground."Let's go to Bright Frost Garden. It is a nice day today, so I will have a walk with my good sister," Ning Qingshan collected herself and strolled slowl
"Third Sister, thanks for your concern. I am rather unlucky. I did not expect that I would slide down the slope and at the same time you were almost involved in an accident, because you were rushing over to check on me." Ning Xueyan did not look as if she was in high spirits, but her smile was much softer than before.Seeing that her explanation worked, Ning Qingshan immediately smiled widely and said, "We can't blame anyone else and it is always because of our sisters' bad luck. Fifth Sister, you are going to get married soon and the gate of a noble manor is as inaccessible as the ocean. Besides, now that Fifth Sister is going to enter Prince Yi's Manor, I am afraid that it will be not easy to meet even if I want to see Fifth Sister in the future."As she said the last sentence, she sighed deeply, as if she was really sorry about that. As for what she said previously, she did not dig any further. It was inconvenient to further speculate on what Third Princ
Ning Lingyun used to tag along with Ning Yuling. Ning Yuling liked extremely beautiful clothes and because she hung out with Ning Yuling, she naturally had similar preferences. Although she did not dare to compete with Ning Yuling in public, she had many of these kind of bright clothes tailored for herself privately. As for such light colors, she had never worn it before."Fifth Sister, you are here. Third Sister and I have been waiting for a while, shall we go out now?" Seeing Ning Xueyan coming, Ning Lingyun came up to her with a smile and spoke in a very loving manner. Although she stated that she had already waited for Ning Xueyan for a while, Ning Lingyun felt that her face was kind and her smile was quite sincere ."Let's go. I only asked for one carriage for our use. It will be nice for us to talk in the carriage. We rarely have such a chance, so we should not waste it." Ning Qingshan had never been so kind. She held Ning Xueyan's hand intimately and
Cheng Yu was a well-known noble childe from the regions south of the Yangtze River. Although he could not compare with the most famous Childe Yueming, he was relatively well known there. Moreover, he was romantic, handsome and talented. In the past examinations, he had won the first place, so he was very confident about this coming imperial examination."Win a title, make it to the list and select a husband from the list" was the popular adage.This was the way that many noble families in the capital chose worthy husbands for their daughters. Because his parents wanted it this way, Cheng Yu was not engaged yet. In his parents' view, their son was so outstanding and if he could win a title and marry a noble young lady, in this way they would get more help.However, Cheng Yu did not think so. He had always been very indifferent to women. Some said that he was proud and insolent because of his talent and some said that he was romantic and unrestra
The bookshelves upstairs were bigger than those downstairs, so when she, who was not tall, wanted to take the book on the top layer of a shelf, she could not reach it, though it was close. Now she could only watch it but could not do anything. Lanning, who was about the same height as her, tried a few times but could not reach it, either."Fifth Young Lady, let me help you." A gentle, smiling voice came from the side. Next, a hand came, and the person easily took down a book from the layer of the bookshelf above Ning Xueyan.Looking up, she saw that it was Cheng Yu's gentle face with somewhat romance and elegance. When passing the book, he was extremely respectful and never stared at her as if it was no bother indeed.When they came upstairs just now, Ning Xueyan parted with Ning Qingshan and Ning Lingyun. At this time, she did not know where they had gone. Beside the tall bookshelf were only she, her servant, and Cheng Yu. Although Cheng Yu be
