Chapter 72 Step by Step
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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 74 The Closed Courtyard Door and Slightly Closed Room Door
"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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 75 The Mysterious Woman in White
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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 76 Lanning's Doubts
Lanning nodded and expressed her doubts. "Most of the things Mother Wang told me happened after Young Lady Ziying was three or four years old. It seemed that she had never mentioned those things that happened when Young Lady Ziying was younger. I felt strange at that time. She was Young Lady Ziying's wet nurse, how could she not know about Young Lady Ziying's childhood?" These words made Ning Xueyan silent for a while. In Ning Xueyan's memory, Mother Wang began to take care of her when she was a child. And Xiang'er was the personal maid her mother gave her when she was eight years old. Ning Xueyan could not recall her childhood clearly; after all, she was a child at that time, but Mother Wang was an adult. "How do you know that Mother Wang didn't know about what happened during Ning Ziying's childhood?" "I once asked about the burn mark on Young Lady Ziying's ankle. Mother Wang told me that Young Lady Ziying was s

Ning Xueyan carefully smeared the medicine powder on the Malus halliana Koehne petals. The smell of the medicine powder was light, and it couldn't be detected when it mixed with the fragrance of the flower. After smearing it, Ning Xueyan stretched out, washed her hands, and asked Qingyu to carry the flower back to the flower room. Ning Xueyan was able to make some medicine powder. Aunt Xiang gave her some prescriptions, which made her suddenly gain some insights. Some things that had been incomprehensible became clear at once. With not much change, the medicine powder made by Ning Xueyan with the original prescription would become odorless. "Young Lady, are you going to greet Madam Dowager now?" after dressing Ning Xueyan up, Lanning asked softly. In the past, Ning Xueyan didn't need to greet Madam Dowager every morning because Madam Dowager didn't want Ning Xueyan to greet her. However, Madam Dowager now needed to show her kindness to Ning
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 78 The Impolite Visitor
Hearing what Ling Yi said, Mother Chen smiled happily. She took the money that Ling Yi handed her and nodded vigorously. "Yes. Childe Ling, you may rest assured. I promise your wish will come true." Of course Mother Chen was happy. She not only completed what the First Madam had ordered, but also received a reward. Looking in the direction Ning Xueyan was leaving, Mother Chen praised the First Madam's wonderful foresight in her mind. Unlike the Second Young Lady, Ning Xueyan would not be protected by anyone if a scandal happened to her. At that time, she only would become someone's concubine. Furthermore, the Hostess of Vice Minister of Justice's Manor was not kind-hearted. Any woman who Ling Yi did not like anymore would be beaten to death or sold to the red-light district by the hostess. Thinking of this, Mother Chen felt proud inwardly and quietly left to arrange the next matter. Ning Xueyan walked around the garden with Nin

Of course, Ning Xueyan also knew that Prince Yi had never been reasonable. "Just this one." Seeing Ning Xueyan going out, Ao Chenyi hummed softly and knocked on the tea table while speaking. "Your Highness, I've used it!" Ning Xueyan was speechless. She turned around and spoke with a very sincere attitude. "I don't care!" Ao Chenyi said lazily. Looking at her delicate face and slightly depressed look, Ao Chenyi narrowed his eyes slightly and felt somewhat comfortable, his depression fading away. "But I care!" It was a pity that Ning Xueyan could only say that in her mind. Ao Chenyi would not listen to her words. Being stared at by him, Ning Xueyan could not say "no". After pausing, Ning Xueyan turned, went over to the table, and poured some water into the cup. Then, she put down the teapot, pushed the tea to Ao Chenyi, and watched him stretch out his slender hand with elegance and laziness as he pick
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 80 A Letter from Ning Yuling
"Young Lady, Young Lady, we wouldn't dare! No guards came in. They're all outside." An older female servant hurried to say, even wanting to swear that they had not asked the guards to come in. "Did they really not come in?" Ning Xueyan seemed to relax, but she still looked out and asked incredulously. "Yes, yes, they really didn't come in. Fifth Young Lady, your hands have been injured by the scissors. They need to be treated first." Seeing that the situation had eased, the older female servant nodded her head vigorously to show her sincerity. On hearing that there was no guard coming in, Ning Xueyan relaxed her hold and the scissors were carefully taken away from her by Qingyu. On the other side, Lanning was finding supplies and medicine to cure Ning Xueyan's hands. There was a faint bloody smell in the room. "Since you want to search the room, just hurry up. Our Young Lady's hands are injured. I'll go ask for some medicine fr
