Chapter 517 Please Grant My Wish, Consort Ning
Ning Xueyan left in the evening, after having a few bites of dinner.
Knowing that she would be leaving, dinner took place much earlier than usual at the Lord Protector's Manor. Since this was her homecoming ceremony, it was only right for the family to have a "warm" dinner at Lucky Garden.
Ning Zu'an appeared normal but said little. But, now and then, he would glance at Ning Xueyan out of the corner of his eye with an unpleasant sense of scrutiny. It was fortunate that she never felt anything for this scumbag of a father. Let him stare all he wanted; it wasn't like he could stare a hole in her.
Ning Zu'an wouldn't do anything to her, now that she possessed a little value. Although he couldn't make his beloved son his heir at the moment, he wasn't in a hurry either. He was at the peak of his life. He could even marry another woman and bear a new heir. Thinking about this made his heart skip a beat.
Madam Dowager was as "kind" as alw

Ning Xueyan stayed only briefly in the Yuyan Shop and left soon after.On her way home, all she could think about was Hua Yunheng's words. How could it be true? How could it be? Her betrothed in her past life was Xia Yuhang. When did it become Hua Yunheng? Why didn't she know anything about this?Back then, he was only eleven or twelve, and she was only about seven or eight. Now that she thought about it, she was about ten when she learned about her engagement with Xia Yuhang. Her parents had merely told her that her engagement with Xia Manor was decided a long time ago.Could there be a misunderstanding?Was Hua Yunheng lying? But, Ning Xueyan swiftly discarded this thought. He didn't have any reason to deceive her. She was nobody to Ning Ziying; she wouldn't know anything about Ning Ziying. She appeared completely innocent in all of these.Was Hua Yunheng really going to pay his respects to her? Or was he looking for

When returning to Prince Yi's Manor, Ning Xueyan even happened to meet the carriage of Commandery Princess Xianyun, but the carriage of Ao Chenyi was not there.With the help of her maid's hand, she got off the carriage and looked at the other side, finding that Commandery Princess Xianyun had just come down from her carriage. Since the two had met each other, she, the consort, had to wait for the princess, of course."You've also just returned, Sister Ning? How is your health? Do you feel unwell?" Commandery Princess Xianyun, who seemed to be in a good mood, walked smilingly to her and said affectionately.Did she really only want to show their "seamless closeness" by saying that in front of so many people at the gate of the house?"I'm fine. Thank you, Princess," Ning Xueyan said gently after she happened to avoid Commandery Princess Xianyun's hand by taking a step back and then bowed low in a woman's manner.Then th
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 520 The Proposal of Commandery Princess Xianyun
Since being proclaimed as the commandery princess, Commandery Princess Xianyun had never been so rebutted by a person who was much inferior to her."What do you mean, Consort Ning?" she said word by word as she stared at Ning Xueyan with some sharpness in her eyes.Ning Xueyan raised her head to look at Commandery Princess Xianyun, with unseen light running in her eyes, had a small smile, and said, "Princess, my grandma has already made the rule about the marriage of my eldest brother. I'm afraid that she will take an official wife's daughter as his wife.""He...the son of a concubine who is nothing even has a delusion of marrying an official wife's daughter. The Lord Protector's Manor daydreams so wildly!" Commandery Princess Xianyun pursed her lips and had apparent ridicule in her eyes."My grandma thinks like that. As her granddaughter, I can't do anything about it!" Ning Xueyan said smilingly with her peaceful watery eyes.

After hearing that Ao Chenyi would be building a greenhouse and planting flowers in the manor, Ning Xueyan put aside her embarrassment and looked up. "Your Highness, you're picking a garden to build a greenhouse in the manor?" she asked in surprise. That meant that she wouldn't have trouble making her face powder anymore. She could procure the flowers necessary to make powders to match every season."Yes, just do whatever you want in my manor. Even if you want to demolish the neighboring few gardens to expand your Pear Flower Garden because it's too small for you, I won't say a word about it," Ao Chenyi nodded and said earnestly."No thanks." Ning Xueyan's beautiful eyes flickered as an idea came to her. "I only want a person from you.""Who is it?""A man!""Me?" Ao Chenyi's half-squinted eyes were filled with mirth and his voice sounded more playful than usual. "If it's me that you want, all you have to do is tell me
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 522 Mrs. Ning's Cousin
This topic fanned Mother Wang's anger. The children's birth charts had been proven to be a match, yet the Hua family turned back on their word and sent someone to rescind the engagement. To think that a fine young woman like her lady would have her engagement rescinded! Thinking about it now still made Mother Wang furious."The person that the Hua family sent was a domineering one who insisted on breaking the engagement. My Lord was still around then. He got so angry that he agreed to break the engagement immediately, even sending back the bridal gifts. Young Master Hua also left with the person and never appeared again. So, Young Master Hua was never my lady's fiance. Their engagement was broken some eight to ten years ago."To think that there was an incident like this! Ning Xueyan had no memory of this. All she knew was Hua Yunheng's inexplicable departure. He never showed up in her life again, so what was he doing, appearing right now?"Did

There was a loud knock on the door, prompting the maid to look at Ning Ziyan timidly. Then, under her cold gaze, the maid walked to the door and opened it."Oh my, Eldest Concubine, what's up with you? Now that you're no longer the Young Mistress, you're slow in opening the door as well. What's wrong? Your delicate and spoiled temper isn't fixed yet?" Standing in front of the door and leaning languidly against the frame was the Eldest Young Master Xia's third concubine, Chen Hexiang.Xia Yuhang had three concubines. Of the three, Ning Ziyan had the highest authority, Ning Yuling was the second, and Chen Hexiang the third."What's the matter?" Ning Ziyan replied coldly. Her face was so thin that it was almost misshapen. Her eyes were filled with hatred. Judging from her complexion, she looked at least thirty years old. Who would have thought that she was a young woman in her twenties?"Oh, I heard your younger sister went out to pla

"Mistress, Liu Feng says that the eldest concubine of the Xia Manor basically doesn't leave her room. On the whole, she is in the room all day long. Only a maid waiting on her stays with her. As for her trousseau, Liu Feng looked around but did not seem to find it in her place," Xinmei entered the room and reported.Liu Feng visited Minster Xia's Manor last night and came back today.Later, Ning Xueyan thought of the fact that the trousseau was not in Ning Ziyan's place. Ning Ziyan was now the concubine of Xia Yuhang, so she had to move to another courtyard. But no matter where she moved, she was still Xia Yuan's woman, so the trousseau sent to the Xia Manor was unlikely to be moved to another place.Based on this way of thinking, the trousseau should still be in its original place. Most likely, it was in the courtyard where Ning Ziyan lived previously. Although Xia Yuhang had lowered Ning Ziyan to a concubine's status, now he did not have a wi

She just had such a younger family member, and she planned to ask him to nourish her in her old age and bury her dead body.
