Chapter 231 Third Young Lady Failed

But it was too late when Ning Huaiyuan and Ao Mingyu thought of looking for Ning Lingyun and Ning Xueyan. They rushed to the gate and the doorman reported to them that the two young ladies had left. Ning Lingyun cried a lot while walking out, and she could not stop crying even after getting in the carriage with the help of her maid. The others by her side persuaded her and the passers-by faintly heard that she was talking about something related to her third sister and Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li. It seemed that the scandal could no longer be hidden. As expected, Ning Lingyun's crying on her way aroused many people's attention. Some snoops even followed behind the carriage to the Lord Protector's Manor, and they heard the conversation clearly when the maid was persuading Ning Lingyun in the carriage. Therefore, before Ning Lingyun could step into the Lord Protector's Manor, the rumors had spread, saying that Third Young Lady of the

Chapter 232 Ning Lingyun Was Frightened

Ning Lingyun's personal maid, Caiyun, had witnessed the dramatic change of the matter and she was scared. "Miss, what shall we do?" she asked, trembling. She had seen that her master had to change her mind under Fifth Young Lady's threat. According to Fifth Young Lady's instruction, her master had to ask her to go to Third Young Lady's room on the pretext of finding earrings. Then she had seen Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li in Third Young Lady's room. Things had not been undergoing as Ning Qingshan had plotted and Ning Lingyun had been on the back foot. Ning Xueyan had not only figured out Ning Lingyun's plot, but also hinted her that Third Prince had never had a crush on her. It had made Ning Lingyun lose her mind. She had subconsciously agreed to follow Ning Xueyan's words because she was so scared of her. She had never thought that Caiyun would have found out something so shocking in Ning Qingshan's room. However, to

Chapter 233 Mr. Yu, the Shopkeeper of the Cloth Shop

After getting into the carriage, Ning Xueyan found a comfortable place to rest with her eyes closed. She would mainly go to one cloth shop to tailor clothes for the servants of the manor. That shop had been brought to the Lord Protector's Manor as Madam Ming's dowry and Madam Ming used to be its owner. Now it had been taken by the Lord Protector's Manor, to be exactly, by Madam Ling. The shopkeeper, Mr. Yu, was a special person. Ning Xueyan had come out today mainly to meet him. She hoped that she could figure out if Mr. Yu was still on her mother's side or he had really already taken Madam Ling as his master. All the shopkeepers would submit the account books of their shops tomorrow. She would choose some people who were still grateful to Madam Ming from these shopkeepers. The shops were Madam Ming's dowry, so she would not allow Madam Ling to take them! Although not the busiest, the street in which the shop was situated was c

Chapter 234 I'm Going to Buy Some Cloth for My Servants

A luxurious and bright-colored carriage crossed the street slowly. Seeing the big blood-red manjusaka pattern on the extremely spacious carriage, everyone lowered their heads and moved aside, without making any noise. Even those little kids who had no sense of danger sensed the tension in the air. They snuggled up to their parents and looked at the carriage in fear, closing their little mouths tightly. All the people in the capital knew that the carriage belonged to Prince Yi, so nobody dared to stand in his way. Ao Chenyi leaned against the soft couch lazily, his long legs dangling aside casually. The robe he wore was in the same color as the carriage, making his handsome face a little enchanting. When he raised his head, people did not dare to look at him, because the look in his eyes was too icy. Two beautiful palace maids knelt on the two sides of the carriage, each holding a food box above their heads. Obviously, Ao Chenyi had no intere

Chapter 235 This Is a Reward for you From Prince Yi

Realizing that things were getting worse, the middle-aged woman rushed out the crowd and disappeared into the distance soon, leaving the dress on the floor. Everyone had just realized that she had tried to blackmail this shop. They were angry and began to curse her. However, as soon as they saw the black robe on the tall, straight and handsome man behind them, they all stopped cursing and went dumb. Covering their mouths, they rushed out the shop in the blink of an eye. "Is he Prince Yi, the terrible killer of the capital? I have never thought that he is so handsome!" some people thought while running away. Ning Xueyan saw Ao Chenyi now, wondering why he had come here. She blinked her jet-black eyes and walked toward him. "Greetings, Prince Yi." She bowed to him. "Fifth Young Lady, you are so eloquent! I watched a wonderful show just now." A trace of idle smile appeared on Ao Chenyi's charming face. He walked inside and sat dow

Chapter 236 It's Time for Me to Get Married

Ao Chenyi was in a good mood when he returned to his manor. Instead of heading for the study, he walked to the backyard, looking relaxed. Yu Jian was reporting to him something, a step away behind him. He was Ao Chenyi's henchman, and they had grown up together. "Prince Yi, what shall we do next?" Yu Jian asked after reporting the latest news to Ao Chenyi. He had learned from the imperial palace that the emperor was determined to choose a consort for Prince Yi. Those candidates were all from noble, but not powerful families. Every three years, the imperial palace would hold the Beauty Contest to choose concubines for the imperial male members. The emperor wanted to take this opportunity to choose a woman for Prince Yi so that Prince Yi could not refuse again. So obviously, he had been provoked and was determined to meddle in the affairs of Prince Yi's backyard. "Three years on. The Beauty Contest is coming again!" Ao Chenyi stopped and looke

Chapter 237 Third Sister, It Was not Your Fault

In fact, it was not too difficult for her to accept the fact. She had been hurt to the core by love in her last life and she had been reborn for revenge, so she did not care who she would marry. If she could survive after revenge, she wished that she would marry an ordinary man, instead of an extremely moody and dangerous person, like Prince Yi, Ao Chenyi. "Prince Yi, I'm so flattered. I dare not expect to marry you." Seeing a trace of bloodthirsty flashing in his eyes, Ning Xueyan sighed secretly. She shifted the topic and continued, "Prince Yi, I'm very happy that I have you as my back." She knew that she could not change Prince Yi's mind. She had thought that the Lord Protector's Manor would consider about her marriage in two or three years at least. By that point, she would be strong enough and even Ning Zu'an and Madam Dowager could not push her around at will. But now she was still too weak, and without any mental preparation, Prince Y

Chapter 238 A Trouble Caused by the Account Books

"Grandmother, I'm not that experienced. Can you find a person to help me?" Ning Xueyan asked gently, holding up the tea cup from the table and passed it to Madam Dowager. "She is still too young, so she dares not to take responsibilities. It also means that she is not ambitious." Madam Dowager was very satisfied with this. She turned to Ning Qingshan and said, "Shan'er, go to check the account books with Yan'er. After all, you will take care of our manor's business in the future, so you should practice in advance." Since Madam Dowager asked Ning Qingshan to help Ning Xueyan, it meant she had great expectations of her. Ning Qingshan was overjoyed and she immediately agreed in a soft voice. She felt a little relieved. At least, she knew that the Lord Protector's Manor had not given her up and Madam Dowager still hoped her to be Third Prince's principle wife. They had both come early in the morning and had not had breakfast yet, s

Chapter 239 Each of the Shopkeepers Has Prepared Two Different Account Books

"Servants, take them away." Ning Xueyan did not seem to be annoyed when she spoke this, but she threw hard those account books onto the floor under the bead curtain. Hearing Ning Xueyan's order, two male servants, who stayed at the gate of the hall, rushed in and were about to take the shopkeepers away. In order to make her granddaughters look mightier, Madam Dowager had specially chosen two strong male servants to help them. Each of the servants grabbed one shopkeeper in each hand and were about to walk out. If they were dragged out, these shopkeepers' dismissal would be a foregone conclusion. Besides, the person who had found the problem out was Third Young Lady, who was going to be Third Prince's principal wife. The shopkeepers were so scared that they could not even stand up. They regretted not having brought the real account books here. "Third Young Lady, Third Young Lady, I have something to say!" Mr. Wang was so scared that he could not help shouti

Chapter 240 What if They Can't Find the Dowry List?

The tea had been served and all the unrelated people had left. Before leaving, Ning Qingshan clenched her fists in anger, feeling that she had been used. She shot an angry glare at Ning Xueyan, but had to walk out the room under the complicated and angry gaze of Madam Dowager. Madam Dowager had been irritated by what had happened yesterday. Now Madam Ling's dirty tricks were exposed. Ning Qingshan knew Madam Dowager must be starting suspecting her, so she reminded herself to be more cautious for the moment to avoid any mistakes. Madam Dowager sat in the middle chair, with Ming Feiyong on her left and Ning Zu'an on her right. Ning Xueyan stood beside her with a lowered head, seemed to be in a panic. Nobody had noticed the coldness and sarcasm in her jet-black eyes. She had taken advantage of Ning Qingshan to expose Madam Ling's plot, so even if Madam Dowager wanted to look into this matter in the future, she could not blame her.
