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
"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
Ling Yi felt restless and walked back and forth in the room, making the young male servant behind him feel dizzy. "Childe, don't worry. The Fifth Young Lady is coming soon. I almost feel dizzy due to your walking back and forth," the young male servant could not help saying. This was a house facing the water, lying on the way from Bright Frost Garden to Qingrong Courtyard. Ning Xueyan would surely pass through this remote place if she came from Bright Frost Garden. A maid of Ning Yuling was waiting in the road ahead. When Ning Xueyan arrived, the maid would tell her that Ning Yuling was here and trick her into coming. "Go and see if the Fifth Young Lady is here." On thinking that the beauty would soon belong to him, Ling Yi was so excited that he could not sit still. "Childe, the Fifth Young Lady is coming!" suddenly, the young male servant shouted excitedly and waved to Ling Yi while peeping through the door.
"So what? Can't I teach a maid a lesson?" Being offended repeatedly by Ning Xueyan, Madam Qian was furious. She pulled back her hand and pounded the table while speaking with great anger. The maids and older female servants saw she got angry and dared not raise their heads, trembling with fear. "Take this bitch away and give her a rough beating." Everyone was shocked by Madam Qian's words. Was she going to beat Lanning to death? Seeing Madam Qian's dominance over Ning Xueyan, Madam Ling showed a faint smile on her face, but still said, "Sister, forget it. Just flog her 50 times, or she'll die..." Lanning would certainly be disabled after the flogging. "No way. She spoke without evidence. If she isn't punished severely, everybody in Lord Protector's Manor will do the same as her." Madam Qian insisted on severely punishing Lanning. Madam Ling was seemingly embarrassed but was happy in her
"Show it to me!" Madam Dowager asked the servants to take the envelope to her with an unhappy expression before Ning Yuling could say anything. Immediately, the note in the envelope was delivered to Madam Dowager which said: "Come! It's urgent!" The signature on it said "Ling". People who were familiar with Ning Yuling knew that she normally signed "Ling" to represent herself. "It was found on Cousin Ling Yi, and the signature is..." Ning Xueyan smiled and said with a look of deep significance. On hearing that, Madam Dowager's expression changed greatly and her gaze became gloomy. "You arrived here first. Maybe you put that note on Yi'er. How can it be evidence?" Madam Ling became flustered, but she still made a good point. "Mother, everyone saw that the note was taken from Cousin Ling Yi just now. What's more, Cousin Ling Yi wasn't dead. Wouldn't he have stopped someone from putting a note on him?" Ning Xueyan ca
When Ming Feiyong came to visit Lord Protector's Manor, Ning Zu'an met him at the door. He went down the steps and welcomed Ming Feiyong with great enthusiasm. "Brother, I knew you were back, but I'm so sorry that I had no time to visit you." Ming Feiyong took a cold look at the smiling Ning Zu'an and snorted, "Do you still know that I am your brother?" "How could I not know? Brother, you're my lifesaver. If it weren't for you, I would already have died." Ning Zu'an ushered Ming Feiyong into the house while smiling and talking. Ning Zu'an was raised in the Ming family when he was a child and had a good relationship with Ming Feiyong. When he was about 10 years old, Ning Zu'an climbed a tree and fell into the river. At that time, no one was around him. It was Ming Feiyong who saw that and rescued him. So Ning Zu'an said that Ming Feiyong was his lifesaver. "If I had known what was going to happen, I wouldn't have s
Ning Xueyan unexpectedly encountered Concubine Ma on the road. Looking at the delicate Concubine Ma saluting her, Ning Xueyan stepped back with a cold smile on her face and said, "Is this the Concubine Ma who poisoned me? She looks quite delicate!" Mother Qin, who accompanied Ning Xueyan to Bright Frost Garden to fetch some things, also stepped back carefully while frowning. Ning Xueyan's words were harsh and made Concubine Ma feel humiliated. She looked up at Ning Xueyan in disbelief. Concubine Ma had never met Ning Xueyan before. But, she had seen Ning Xueyan twice from afar by chance and felt that Ning Xueyan was an emaciated girl. She did not expect Ning Xueyan to humiliate her directly as soon as they met. "Fifth Young Lady, I made a mistake with your medicine so that... Please forgive me." Concubine Ma stood up while holding her maids and saluted Ning Xueyan again, keeping a low profile. "I dare not receive your apology.
"Young lady, is the First Madam planning a grand feast for Concubine Ma's birthday because she wants to return that concubine's favour?" Mother Han said anxiously. "No!" Ning Xueyan said that with a smile. Then she turned around and sat by the table. Having poured a cup of tea for herself, she took a sip and said thoughtfully, "If she wants to give thanks to Concubine Ma, she will do it secretly and won't plan so many things." Mother Han spoke out her guess, "Young lady, I think it is not that simple." Of course it was not that simple. It was actually a series of plots which targeted at her. These women had really regarded her as a weak girl by setting her up with insidious tricks over and over again. "Lanning, how's your relationship with the maid of Concubine Ma?" Ning Xueyan asked Lanning who stood by her side. Lanning's acquaintances in the manor were much more than Qingyu. Lanning pondered for a
As soon as Ning Xueyan went to bed, Lanning woke her up. Seeing the letter in Lanning's hand, Ning Xueyan got speechless for the moment. It was just an anonymous letter. After Ning Xueyan had opened the delicate envelope and taken out the letter, she only saw the beautiful handwriting, "Make the concubine become madam." Make the concubine a madam, make the concubine a madam? Ning Xueyan frowned and folded the letter in her hand, with a meaningful expression in her eyes. "Lanning, where did you find this?" "I was planning to have a rest in my room after I had cleaned up everything on the outside, then this letter laid on my bed straightly." As Lanning was talking about this, she gave another small note to Ning Xueyan. The handwriting of the note was different from the one on the letter. And there were more words on it, "Please write back quickly. Tie your young lady's letter with stone and throw them out of the wal
