All Chapters of The Devious First-Daughter: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

The moment they walked out the gate of the courtyard, Ning Qingshan pulled Ning Xueyan to the side. When they came to a quiet place, she lifted her skirt hem and was going to kneel down. Ning Xueyan was cautious and she stopped her immediately. "What are you doing, Third Sister?" she asked. "Fifth Sister, mom treated me like her biological daughter, but I couldn't serve her when she was alive. What's more, I didn't see her one last time after she passed away. I was in the nunnery, so I didn't know what had happened outside. But I shouldn't take it as an excuse. Anyway, I should be blamed. I only hope that you won't be mad of me and our sisterhood won't be influenced because of this." Ning Qingshan said sincerely and her attitude would make everyone think that she was admitting her mistake and asking for forgiveness from the bottom of her heart. But it reminded Ning Xueyan what happened to her in her last life. "Sister Ziying, w

"Brother, I was too young and I said something stupid. I hope you can forgive me." Ning Qingshan greeted Ning Huaiyuan with a bow, looking calm and graceful. "Sister..." Ning Huaiyuan looked at her thoughtfully, a strange look flashing in his eyes. He assumed a posture to hold her up, and he found it was difficult for him to call her so intimately like before. He paused for a while and then continued, "Third Sister, let's bygones be bygones. We have grown up, so we should be mature." His previous naive 'sister' had disappeared before she went for the nunnery, and the 'sister' he saw recently was not Ning Qingshan at all! Until now, Ning Huaiyuan still couldn't believe that the slim figure under the plum tree was Ning Xueyan, the Fifth Young Lady who had never walked out Bright Frost Garden! He paid much attention to Ning Xueyan today and he looked at her carefully a few times, but it was hard for him to associate her with that shy, unremarka

Ao Mingyu knew what happened in Cold Mountain Temple as well. He narrowed his eyes, anger flashing in them. He was only testing when he said that he wanted to marry Ning Xueyan. Although nobody of the Lord Protector's Manor had said anything about this, from many things happened later, he realized that Ning Xueyan was nothing important at all to Ning Zu'an, the Lord Protector. Plus he got the news that Ning Qingshan was going to come back from the nunnery, so he gradually gave up thinking about marrying Ning Xueyan. Ning Xueyan's status in Lord Protector's Manor was even lower than Ning Qingshan's! He was also reluctant to marry an unflavored and powerless woman to be his co-consort, but anyway, he had expressed his admiration for her in front of Ning Zu'an, so he thought people of Lord Protector's Manor would treat Ning Xueyan better for his sake. He guessed that her life would be easier after Madam Ling had been put into Budd

In a flower hall of the Lord Protector's Manor's courtyard, there were a number of female guests. They chatted happily and burst into laughter occasionally. Ostensibly to congratulate Ning Zu'an's marrying a new concubine, but they all had other plans. Third Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor was no ordinary. She was not only beautiful, but gentle, graceful and decent as well. Everyone could tell that she had a bright future, and some well-informed person even said that Third Prince had already waited in the manor when Third Young Lady just returned yesterday. Who was Third Prince? He was the real imperial family member! Normally, only those young ladies from noble families waited for him, and he would never take the initiative to wait for them. It was said Third Prince's cousin who had grown up together with him returned to the capital yesterday. However, he didn't wait for her at Grand Tutor Ya's Manor, but went to the Lord Protector's Manor inste

"Grandmother!" "Grandmother!" The moment they entered the room, Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan bowed to Madam Dowager. "Get up." The smile was back on Madam Dowage's face. She then introduced the old ladies beside her to Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan, and they bowed to these old ladies, with smiles. "Madam Dowager, are they the granddaughters you have hidden away? How beautiful they are! You're so lucky to have two such fairy-like granddaughters!" an old lady in a brown garment said in admiration. "Sure enough! Look at them! If I have just one granddaughter like them, she will surely be the apple of my eye. But you have two! Madam Dowager, you're really lucky!" another old lady in a blue garment with a slanting collar said in agreement. On the whole, Ning Qingshan looked more outstanding than Ning Xueyan. Women looked their best at sixteen. Ning Qingshan was gentle and graceful, and her face was as be
