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
To Madam Ling's surprise, the place Consort Dowager suggested to go was not Ning Yuling's Qingrong Courtyard, but the Chinese Flowering Crabapple Pavilion, which was used for receiving guests. She felt really relieved in her heart. This time, without a hint of hesitation, she led them to the Chinese Flowering Crabapple Pavilion while smiling. She thought that there had to be something wrong with the unreliable Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li. As long as the thing of Ning Yuling was not exposed, what should she be afraid of? Therefore, she certainly had no psychological burden at all and walked at the front. The group of people walked up to the door of the Chinese Flowering Crabapple Pavilion. Before they arrived at the door, they heard the love-making sounds of a man and a woman coming from inside. The face of Consort Dowager changed greatly. She winked at the servant beside her. Before Madam Ling could react, the servant already went
Ning Yuling thought about the whole matter over and over again. Even though she had not been clever enough, she knew that she had been tricked by Ning Xueyan. How could she forgive her? "Fifth Young Lady, did you do that?" Madam Dowager's face turned black as she shouted angrily at Ning Xueyan. "Madam Dowager must be planning to sacrifice herself to save Madam Ling and her daughter since she didn't even ask anything, as if she had heard nothing when Madam Ling and her daughter slandered her," Ning Xueyan thought with a sneer. "Madam Dowager always protects those who are treacherous and she's been partial to Madam Ling and her daughter from time to time. But what a pity it is today, since Madam Ling and her daughter are bound to lose face with the whole Lord Protector's Manor. "Madam Dowager has neither done enough surface work nor was she confident. What else can she do to save face?" "Grandmother, I was with you just now, so h
Since it had come to this, no one there had any reason to stay. Ning Xueyan also returned to Bright Frost Garden with her people. Now it was tranquil in the courtyard. Madam Dowager asked those from Bright Frost Garden to pick themselves up now that Madam Ling was ill, and she suppressed those who seemed to always suck up to Madam Ling. After recovering, Madam Ling also tried to take the opportunity to do something but was held back by Mother Han, who had always come up with some ideas to handle her. That was why Madam Ling hated Mother Han so much and dragged her into the mire. Back in the courtyard, Lanning and Qingyu were sorting Ning Xueyan's items, while Mother Han come to talk to Ning Xueyan after packing her own things. "Young Lady. The First Madam and the Second Young Lady paid the price this time. Now that this has happened, the Second Young Lady would not be the principal wife even if she were married into Commandery Prince Li's Ma
"Young Lady, Sister Yu Lian sent by the First Madam has come. She has something to say to the Young Lady," a maid reported. "Let her in!" Ning Xueyan nodded. Mother Han put the dowry list into her breast pocket, stepped backward, and stood behind Ning Xueyan. The portiere was lifted and a maid came in dressed in a colorful, embroidered skirt, looking delicate and spotless, elegant and polished. Ning Xueyan stared at her and recognized that she was the first maid, Yu Lian, who served Madam Ling. Ning Xueyan cast her eyes on her face that had been meticulously made up and then noticed her embroidering shoes, which were decorated with colorful stitchwork of birds and gold. There seemed to be a faint smile on her face. She was calm as she stopped looking Ning Xueyan up and down. "Fifth Youg Lady, the Second Young Lady is betrothed to Commandery Prince Li's Manor. The wedding ceremony will be held in half a year. The F
"Xia Yuhang... do you know? I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!" In the gap between the trees, Ning Xueyan saw Xia Yuhang, who wore a long snow-white robe, standing in front of the door with his hands clasped behind his back. Xia Yuhang, a graceful gentleman, should not be wearing such plain coarse clothes. However, he stood there at this time in these clothes and slightly frowned, showing a sense of loneliness. Xia Yuhang, who had always been elegant and outstanding, had lonely days too! Ning Xueyan smiled coldly. The love between her and Xia Yuhang had already disappeared! That kind of deep attachment, with the drainage of her blood, had long become a cold and cruel edge, bruising her all over. How much Ning Xueyan had loved him before, and how much she hated him now! She saw his hypocrisy at the cost of her life. After rebirth, Ning Xueyan did not shed a single tear for him. With s
Outside the door stood a woman, a woman Ning Xueyan had never seen before. She was about 20 years old, wore a piece of white clothing, and was an elegant beauty. Upon seeing someone in the room, she still walked in with ease, although she was surprised. She had a basket in her hand that was covered with a veil. Ning Xueyan could vaguely see that there was some fresh fruit in the basket. But Ning Xueyan had not seen her before. "Who are you?" Ning Xueyan frowned and asked vigilantly. Then she retreated, keeping a sharp lookout. "I'm a worshipper." The woman put the basket on the table with an indifferent expression, put aside the veil, and replaced the fruit on the table with the fruit in the basket. "You do not live here! How did you get in?" "Why can't I come in? You also came in without permission. Fifth Young Lady, how much do you know about Ning Ziying?" the woman said with ridicule as she gave a
