Chapter 49 Things Happen One after Another and Madam Dowager Gets Angry
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Ning Yuling was ignored and felt embarrassed for a while. When she saw Honored Consort Ya's unhappy face, she realized that she was disgusted. So she quietly stepped back and stared at Ning Xueyan fiercely when she came back. When passing through Ning Xueyan, she whispered angrily, "Did you do that, little bitch?"
Ning Xueyan gave her a faint smile, but didn't answer her question. She looked at Madam Dowager's face and ignored Ning Yuling directly, which made Ning Yuling angry. However, she dared not indulge in front of so many people.
The Forth Prince's imperial physician came quickly. Listening to the order of the Honored Consort Ya, he went to examine the dregs and said, "Yes, there's one harmful medicine material!"
Ning Yuling stiffened and could hardly believe what she heard. She unconsciously looked at the servant behind her again. "Did I misunderstand just now? Did she mean that there really is something wrong with the medicine? Did s

There were few people who could help Ning Xueyan and everyone had to bear more responsibilities. Lanning knew this situation very well, so she said she was okay. "You and Qingyu go out for a stroll in the afternoon. As soon as you see the maids of other manors, you talk to them. During the conversation, you only say that Ning Yuling is beautiful and virtuous." Ning Xueyan leisurely said with a smile. "Many Childe and Young Ladies saw what happened yesterday. No one will believe us!" Qingyu blinked her eyes and couldn't understand Ning Xueyan's meaning for a moment, asking in perplexity. At that time, more than one Chile was present and saw what Ning Yuling did. Who would believe Ning Yuling was virtuous? "Those Chiles who were present yesterday know that Ning Yuling isn't virtuous. But not all Childes were present yesterday. They might believe what we'll say." Ning Xueyan smiled and jade-like eyes circled, mockery in her eyes.

It started to rain. The raindrop, with a touch of coolness, fell on the human body from the sky. The sky was dark and gloomy! Ning Yuling was walking to the Fragrance Pavilion with Xianghong in private, tightly holding a piece of paper in her hand. She was so happy that she didn't found that the umbrella which was held by Xianghong didn't stop the sporadic raindrops from falling on her head and body. Thinking that she would catch the man who secretly dated Ning Xueyan and then murder Ning Xueyan, she could not help being excited. "Ning Xueyan is so unlucky. The note she dropped in front of my door was picked up by Xianghong." Ning Yuling thought with excitement. How could she give up the chance of exposing Ning Xueyan's scandal and letting people see what kind of person she was? Ning Yuling was very excited when she thought that. She rushed to the Fragrance Pavilion with Xianghong. Ning Yuling saw someone in the pavilion far aw
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 52 Planning, Maid's Changeable Words
It grew dark. The maid lowered her head and walked hurriedly through the courtyard door. She was from the other manor but nobody had seen her. She looked around, then went straight towards the candle lit room. Knocking lightly on the door, she heard a voice from inside, "Who is it? Please come in." The maid saw no one around, so she entered and closed the door. From the shadows outlined at the window, it showed two persons talking and delivering something. After a while, the door reopened. Again, the maid looked around furtively, making sure there was no one around, then walked out and closed the door. Suddenly a scream came from nowhere just as she was about to leave. The sound frightened the maids and older female servants who were working in the courtyard. They raised their heads in confusion, looking around for the source of the scream. They wondered who could be making a sound like that. However, an older female servant, who was standing under the ro
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 53 Chaos, Princely Heir was beaten
Something had happened the day before yesterday that made Third Prince and his mother unhappy. So Ning Yuling needed to be more careful now. She remembered that Honored Consort Ya wanted Ning Xueyan to be her son's concubine. Ning Yuling had a cold smile on her face. She tried to look for Ning Xueyan but could not find her. Where was the bitch? Actually, Ning Xueyan was present. She stood in a secluded place, far away from the crowd, so Ning Yuling did not see her. She leaned against a tree, leisurely waiting for their next move. Honored Consort Ya and Lord Protector's Manor had already decided in secret that Ning Yuling would be Third Prince's wife. Now she wondered what Ning Yuling would do if she became his wife. Qingyu had appeared earlier but had already excused herself. There was only Lanning beside Ning Xueyan. "Are you Second Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor?" Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li asked, looking at Ning Yuling wi

They showed up in front of the noble madams with tears and much noise. The Madams already knew what had happened. Consort Dowager of Commandery Prince Li, who liked Ning Yuling a lot before, talked with the other madams, while holding a leopard cat in her arms. She just heard that Ning Yuling had hit her baby grandson. She was immediately unhappy. Princely Heir was her beloved grandson who grew up by her side. Even Commandery Prince Li would be punished if he touched him, let alone a stranger. Let alone a strange woman. She knew everything about her grandson. She understood that she had overindulged him. This made him naughty. It was said that Second Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor was vixenish so she was satisfied and hoped that maybe Ning Yuling could change her grandson. It would comfort her and her son wouldn't say that she spoiled her grandson too much. Ning Yuling was a beauty from a good family, so she was satisfied

"Ask the maids to tell which one of them passed the message!" Ning Yuling wanted to rush over as she gritted her teeth in anger. The two older female servants tried to stop her under the command of Madam Dowager. "You are talking nonsense. How dare you do this? I have no private relationship with you. Why do I need you here? I am a Young Lady of Marquis Manor and I will never like a prodigal like you!" She remembered the kind of man he was, so she spoke without thinking when she thought of the bad reputation he had. "Yes, Second Young Lady isn't that kind of girl who will ask you to come over. Maybe you made a mistake?"Madam Dowager said, with great anger on her face. "How do I know why she is doing this? Fortunately, I have the evidence. It is from her. I can show you if you don't believe me. Honored Consort Ya and madams, please find the truth for me." Princely Heir shouted loudly. Everyone started to whisper. T
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 56 The Private Meeting and the Wrong Person
"The Chrysanthemum Party is held by Honored Consort Ya. How did the lecher come in easily?" "Nobody can take the blame if he bothered Honored Consort Ya." While talking, the guards took a man over. Although he lowered his head and couldn't be seen clearly, it could be told from his body that he was a man. He was in an ordinary dress instead of fineries, but he wasn't a servant. A lot of things happened during the party. The earlier thing wasn't handled yet, now this man came from nowhere. Honored Consort Ya's face became darker and darker. The persons here were all from noble families with honorable statuses. She wasn't able to take the blame if bad things occurred. Honored Consort Ya stood up suddenly and said with great anger, "How dare you sneak here. Take him out and flog him hard 50 times." It would kill him after taking 50 times of flogging. Although he was young and strong, he couldn't take it. Two guards w
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 57 Chessman and Madam Dowager's Hint
After what happened, nobody could enjoy the Chrysanthemum Party. Ning Yuling was sent away by Madam Dowager. Third Prince wanted the power of Ning Zu'an. Ning Yuling had such a bad reputation of dating several men secretly, so Third Prince would not marry her if he was to get related to Lord Protector's Manor by marriage. He was a prince. It would be a joke if she cheated on him. Ning Xueyan settled down back to her room. Lanning offered a cup of tea to her and asked after thinking of something, "My lady, how do you know Second Young Lady would leave Xianghong for abetting the man to tarnish your reputation?" Ning Xueyan smiled slightly. Her eye-sight fell on a cluster of ordinary daisies. She answered coldly with her lip lifted, "Ning Yuling only got one chance. She was too proud to let it go." Ning Yuling, who was as vicious as Madam Ling, hated Ning Xueyan so much. So she wouldn't give up the opportunity to frame her up. She

"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. 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.

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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 673 A Letter Within a Letter

Even without the title, he was still the most authoritative figure in the manor.Madam Dowager collapsed as soon as she heard the news of his death. She became ill and bedridden, unable to get up.Ning Xueyan couldn't leave the palace freely due to her status as the Empress. She sent Qingyu and Mother Han to the manor and had them inquire about Madam Dowager's health in her place. Mother Han returned to Prince Yi's Manor afterward while Qingyu entered the palace to report to Ning Xueyan.It was inconvenient for Mother Han to live in the palace because she had a son to take care of.

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. He was Prince Yi, the late Emperor's beloved prince who grew up to be the infamous Demon King. Those who mentioned his name would often be frightened and alarmed.

"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
