"Who are you?"That was Ning Xueyan's biggest question today. What he said was true, but they weren't things that he should be privy to. How old was he then? He must have been fairly young, so he wouldn't be so clear about it, especially about her mother's relationship with the Empress.If he was merely the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Min, she didn't think he had any reason to know all these secrets.Moreover, she was the only one speculating about this matter. She hadn't told anyone, not even Lanning and Qingyu.It wasn't because she didn't trust them; she simply preferred they didn't get involved. The more people knew about it, the more troublesome things would be. She was roped into this unwillingly and didn't want the people around her to get involved."I'm your maternal cousin. You can also call me your paternal cousin," Wen Xueran said, looking calmly at Ning Xueyan. He didn't give her any chance to avoid

"Xueyan, you're here. Come here, come here so I can take a look at you and see if you've gotten thinner." The moment Madam Dowager saw Ning Xueyan step in, her face was immediately full of smiles as she beckoned her over. Ning Xueyan had never experienced such a warm welcome from her before.Moreover, they had indirectly turned their backs on each other because of Ning Yuling's incident.She wasn't very polite when she left the last time, but Madam Dowager's big smile was devoid of any grudges as if she was truly just returning to the Lord Protector's Manor. It was like the previous incident had vanished like smoke and no one cared about it.Madam Dowager was indeed snobbish.Suppressing the coldness in her eyes, Ning Xueyan put on a slight smile as she walked over to Madam Dowager and gave her a deep bow. She still needed the Lord Protector's Manor at the moment. Ao Chenyi had arranged for this manor to be her backer and this mano

Ao Chenyi would only come after lunch and everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor had no choice but to wait for the arrival of such an important figure. Thus, it wasn't until he arrived at the outer courtyard and dined with Ning Zu'an and Ning Huaijing that lunch for the women was finally served in Madam Dowager's Lucky Garden.Ning Xueyan didn't leave immediately after lunch. On the contrary, news came that Prince Yi was leaving.This was normal. The fact that Prince Yi was able to come was enough to excite everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor. They had lost the Emperor's favor following the string of events caused by Madam Ling and her daughters. Even a once-great general like Ning Zu'an was merely given an insignificant role at the Ministry of War and couldn't even meet the Emperor.The Lord Protector's Manor had truly fallen out of favor. Everyone knew this, but fortunately for them, they still had Princess Yi. At this moment, Madam Dowage

She really didn't feel that she was protected so well that she could not be hurt.In her previous life, she was so well protected by her parents. When she was in the regions south of the Yangtze River, she had almost no worries. Being carefree, she thought that as long as she was kind to others, others would also be kind to her, but the reality was that she ended up dead because she was too kind and believed others too much."Or my mother thought that I will have the right to know my family background only when I am killed." She looked up at Mother Han with her slightly red eyes while biting her lips."Miss, Miss, I, your old slave, will tell you all. I'll tell you all, okay?" Seeing that Ning Xueyan was so sad, Mother Han had great grief and cried so sadly that she couldn't get up."Mother Han, I know my mother made the decision for my good, but will I be really happy if I don't know about it? What if the marquis has learned it? O

"What? Ning Xueyan is even to hold a flower-admiring banquet! She has officially become the princess of Prince Yi?" In the Foggy Courtyard of Lord Protector's Manor, the dark-faced Ning Qingshan could not remain seated anymore and turned around a few times on the spot."Yes, this is what I heard. Fifth Young Lady is so lucky and has even become the princess of Prince Yi," Mammy Luo sighed. In her opinion, her miss was the best, but why did the Fifth Young Lady become the princess of Prince Yi before her mistress became a princess?"No, I never allow Ning Xueyan to be so easily approved by others as the princess of Prince Yi." Ning Qingshan stopped turning and said hatefully."Miss, that is Prince Yi's Manor. You still want to meddle in!" Mammy Luo was worried. No matter how capable her miss was, she should not meddle in the affairs of Prince Yi's Manor. If Prince Yi was offended, it might cause other problems. That was not worth it. Now her mis
