All Chapters of The Devious First-Daughter: Chapter 241 - Chapter 250

She meant that since Madam Ling had done a lot of work in managing the shops, even she should not be credited, she should not be blamed. In other words, she was interceding for her, hinting Ning Xueyan not to ask back the profits of the past few years. Until now, Madam Dowager was still reluctant to give back the money! Ning Xueyan sneered inwardly. "What a mean and shameless woman!" she really wished that she had nothing to do with the manor in the future. Taking a deep breath, she said calmly, "Grandmother, I will follow your words." Of course she would not spare Madam Ling and let the Lord Protector's Manor take advantage of her. However, she could not be openly hostile towards people of the manor now. When the time was right, she would definitely bring Madam Ling down completely. Madam Ling must give back everything she had taken from Madam Ming, Ning Xueyan and Ning Ziying! Bright Frost Garden was full of things. In additi

The next day, a lot of visitors came to the Lord Protector's Manor to attend the banquet. The carriages parking outside the manor filled the whole street in front of it. Ning Zu'an was the emperor's favored official. Although his family had some problems recently, his power did not seem to be much impacted. But some rumors said that the emperor thought since Ning Zu'an could not rule his manor well, he would not be able to help him rule the country well. Because of this, he did not trust in Ning Zu'an as much as he used to be. But everyone was talking about Third Young Lady and Third Prince. Someone was certain that Third Young Lady had already been chosen as Third Prince's principal wife and she had attended the Beauty Contest just to go through the formality. Some rumors about Third Young Lady's recent improper behavior were also spreading in the capital, but since the Lord Protector's Manor and Third Prince had not made any moves, people

Ning Xueyan walked over and bowed to Madam Dowager before sitting down beside Ning Qingshan. She glanced at the people in the room and figured out what Madam Dowager was thinking about. "Obviously, Madam Dowager also takes the two princes for granted as our family members. What makes her so confident?" "Your mother is greeting the guests outside, so I let you have fun here for a moment. Otherwise, you may complain that I am unreasonable and keep you working all the time," Madam Dowager said with a smile, looking gracious. "Grandmother, I know you are the best to us," Ning Qingshan responded her cleverly, as if it was normal without Ning Lingyun's presence. "Shan'er, you are so sweet!" Madam Dowager was joyful at Ning Qingshan's words. She patted her on the head with a smile and said, "Well, I am tired. I will have a rest in the inner room. Keep chatting! You are all young people, so if there is any misunderstanding, just explain it face to f

Xia Yudong had come to the manor with Xia Yuhang today. Of course, he had not told Xia Yuhang about what he discussed with Ning Qingshan privately. He imitated Xia Yuhang's every word and deed because Xia Yuhang was the most outstanding in the others' eyes, and people always praised him for his literary talent, elegance, appearance and manners. Living in Xia Yuhang's shadow since his childhood, Xia Yudong learned everything from Xia Yuhang unconsciously. Because of this, he also got some compliments. Other people said that Minster Xia was good at educating his sons, as not only his first son had a very good manner, but his second son, whose mother was only a concubine, was so excellent as well. Xia Yudong behaved like a graceful noble childe in front of people. He was obedient to Xia Yuhang and always gave priority to him. However, nobody knew that he was very resentful about it. Since both of them were Minister Xia's sons and he was as exce

Ning Xueyan felt comfortable with the coldness when she spread out the ointment on her wrist. After the ointment became a little dry, she pulled down her sleeve and stood up with a smile. "Lanning, we should go out to meet people now. If we stay at the backyard on this joyous occasion, the others may think that we did something disgraceful and dare not to show up in public." All the maids in the room understood what she was hinting, and they all laughed. Without any hesitation, they helped Ning Xueyan dress up again. Ning Xueyan asked Xinmei and Qingyu to stay at the courtyard and walked out with Lanning. To her surprise, as soon as she arrived at the courtyard gate, she saw Third Prince and the others coming over. Ning Xueyan could not help frowning. She really did not want to see them. Therefore, when they told her that they mainly wanted to have a look at the buildings of Bright Frost Garden and by the way ask for a cup of t
