Chapter 61 The Commandery Princess Muling from Yunnan
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The handsome man coming from afar was the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Min, Wen Xueran.
How could he, a man, be alone in the courtyard of Honored Consort Ya!
Suddenly, another figure appeared in the sight of Ning Xueyan who frowned when she saw that woman.
Yesterday, Ning Xueyan saw this woman who had been sitting behind the Honored Consort Ya. At first glance, Ning Xueyan felt she was arrogant. It was said that she was the daughter of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan, Commandery Princess Muling.
Since the founding of the country, the Feudal Prince of Yunnan had been stationing in the southeast of the country. But his daughter was born and grew up in the capital.
"Elder Brother Ran, why are you walking so fast? Would you like to have a rest?" The blushed Commandery Princess Muling stepped forward and delicately asked while pointing at the stone bench and table.
Seeing that their eyes turning to the

It was an older female servant who came in a hurry. Ning Xueyan saw clearly that her clothes were the same style and color as that of those older female servants who stood behind the Consort Dowager of Commandery Prince Li's Manor. "I'm sorry, Young Lady." Seeing that she had hit a Young Lady, the older female servant didn't dare to neglect and rushed to apologize. Those who could go in and out of the residence of Honored Consort Ya were not ordinary people. "It's all right." Ning Xueyan faintly said. Seeing the older female servant going into the courtyard after wiping sweat, Ning Xueyan narrowed her eyes and smiled. Ning Xueyan came back in time. The older female servant rushed to the corridor and stopped. She knew that the Honored Consort Ya was in the house, so she dared not rush in and only peeped from the doorway. A maid standing behind the Consort Dowager saw the older female servant and told the Consort Do
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 63 - It Can't Be a Coincidence
Everyone knew that something was wrong with the herb residue when they saw the doctor's face. Some madams could not help noticing Ning Xueyan's pale appearance, which was as white as paper. Coupled with her fragile body, she did not look well. They thought of the Second Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor yesterday, who was in good health with a rosy complexion. There had to be something wrong. "Is there anything bad in the herb residue? Did it make Xue'er sick? Tell me!" the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li said hurriedly because the doctor remained silent. This unintentionally got right to the point and Madam Dowager trembled a little. "To be honest, Princely Heir, some noxious herbs were put into the medicine. They have cooling attributes, so it can kill someone if they drink too much of it, and it can damage fertility..." The doctor suddenly stopped talking. He raised his head and looked at Consort Dowager because he
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 64 - A Tentative Strategy about the Medicine
The right-side yard of Cold Mountain Temple and Honored Consort Ya's dwelling were the most luxurious places of the temple. Now, Prince Yi, Ao Yichen, who was one of the most powerful man with a changeable mood, lived in the right-side yard. Therefore, the yards around it were empty because nobody dared to live by his side. It seemed deserted there. Ning Xueyan was in servant clothes so nobody noticed her along the road. She passed by two detours, finding that there were two poker face guards standing upright by the door. They were staring at her expressionlessly with some sharpness in their eyes, which was frightening. Time was tight, so Ning Xueyan did not want to waste any. She stepped forward, saying with smile, "Please tell Prince Yi that someone from Lord Protector's Manor wants to see him." The guards looked at her from head to toe, then one opened his mouth and said, "Wait here!" He went to ask for permiss

Qingyu and Lanning had everything well-prepared when Ning Xueyan returned to her yard. She wrote a letter hurriedly and asked a Cold Mountain Temple monk to give it to her uncle. When everything was done, they got in the carriage that had been waiting outside and went to Lord Protector's Manor. "My lady, many madams saw it. Consort Dowager of Commandery Prince Li is on her way to our manor, so Madam Dowager has to punish Madam Ling hard this time." Qingyu was thrilled when she thought everything had gone as Ning Xueyan had wanted. Ning Xueyan smiled slightly and said, "She won't." "She won't? Why not? The evidence is clear, so Madam Ling is definitely the one who should take the blame. Can't that get her punished?" Qingyu was astonished. "Did anyone see her poison me? Did anyone say that it was her? Or did anyone sell her out?" Ning Xueyan had a little rest leaning against the carriage wall as she closed her eyes

Ning Xueyan dressed Lanning and herself well when she returned to her yard. Then they left for Auspicious Fortune Hall. The female servant standing by the door saw her coming and greeted her, "Fifth Young Lady, you are finally here. Madam Dowager and Madam Ling asked about you just now." Ning Xueyan just nodded and kept going. The maids by the door lifted the curtain to let Ning Xueyan in. "Xueyan, you are here. Let Mother see. How could this happen to you? Why bad person poisoned you? You are such a good girl. The bad servant did damage to you but you are innocent. You would have been killed if we didn't find out..." Seeing Ning Xueyan in, Madam Ling started to sob. She could not even speak clearly as she wiped away her tears with a handkerchief. Ning Xueyan stood to the side and a coldness emanated from her eyes. In Ning Xueyan's previous life, she was killed by Madam Ling. So she would not be tricked by her aga
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 67 - Among All the People in the Manor, Who Doesn't Know That the Fifth Young Lady Is Sickly?
Hearing the sound, Mother Han, who was tied up and thrown to the ground, tried hard to straighten her back. Upon seeing Lanning, a pleasant surprise flashed through her eyes. Lanning silently mouthed to Mother Han: "The Fifth Young Lady is back", suggesting that she rest assured. Mother Han nodded to show that she understood. It could be seen from her eyes that she was very excited and felt greatly relieved in her heart. If it were the previous Fifth Young Lady, Mother Han would not have had so much confidence in her. But now, the Fifth Young Lady was different, she could certainly clear her of the injustice. "You little bitch, you even dared to hit me." The older female servant became furious because she had been beaten by a maid from Bright Frost Garden. How could she live with that in the future? Especially the two maids standing at the door, they laughed while bending forward and backward, which attracted more maids and older female serv

It was exactly the moment that Ning Xueyan had been waiting for! Looking up at Madam Dowager with her dark-jade-like eyes, she slowly dropped the words one by one after clearing her throat. "Grandmother, how could Mother Han take advantage of my lowly status?" Madam Ling once said that by taking advantage of Ning Xueyan's power, Mother Han encouraged her son to commit violence and he beat up Concubine Ma's brother. This thing that happened to Mother Han was the reason Ning Xueyan had been drugged. What Mother Han had done annoyed Concubine Ma, and hence, brought a fatal disaster to Ning Xueyan. However, if Ning Xueyan was even unable to protect herself, how could Mother Han take advantage of her power? In one sentence, Ning Xueyan argued clearly that Mother Han was being framed by Madam Ling. Then the entire house fell into a weird silence. Cold sweat was already forming on Madam Ling's forehead. It

Ning Xueyan was in poor health so she went last, with Qingyu and Lanning following behind her. Seeing that there was no one around, Qingyu leaned against Ning Xueyan and whispered to her, "Young Lady, the Third Prince has gone back. He left in a hurry so most of the people in the manor don't know that. The Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li is resting in the Chinese Flowering Crabapple Pavilion. Then I went to the Second Young Lady's courtyard. However, I met Miao'er, the personal servant of the Second Young Lady before I got to the Second Young Lady's courtyard." "Oh, what did she say?" Ning Xueyan asked without betraying any emotion. "Young Lady, you are so smart. I told her the thing about the Third Prince. I also told her that the Third Prince was still in the Chinese Flowering Crabapple Pavilion and was waiting for you to meet him there." Qingyu then said with admiration, "I saw that the eyes of Miao'er lit up, then she immediately t

"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. 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

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
