The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 16-20

Chapter 16 The Handsome and Ruthless Prince Yi

A bellow abruptly came from the door!

The two of them turned to look in unison and saw a group of people standing at the door. The one who spearheaded the group wore a black robe with an eye-catching large blood-red spider lily print. The contrast of the garish, beautiful colors of black, red, and gold enveloped everyone’s vision.

The blood-red large blood-red spider lily print stood in stark contrast against the ink-like black fabric. The hem of the robe was lined with golden thread.

Under the purple-golden hat was an extremely handsome face that was equally as demonic. His seemingly pure-black eyes had no light in them and resembled two bottomless pits of darkness. He emanated a thousand-year coldness that frantically sucked everyone into his aura. He appeared both ruthless and treacherous.

Thanks to his aura, his delicately beautiful face didn’t lend him an air of femininity. Instead, he was full of the demonic charms with his manly nefariousness and ruthlessness on full display!

His pale, thin lips were pressed together, making him look frighteningly beautiful. However, he inexplicably made others feel the coldness akin to the frigidness of the Blood Sea.

Upon meeting that pair of eyes, Ning Xueyan felt her hands tucked inside her sleeves inexplicably began to cramp.

However, she swiftly put her emotions under control and showed no trace of her feelings aside from the appropriate display of surprise. Then, she slowly lowered her head.

Fortunately, her mental state was firm after her rebirth. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to stop herself from trembling in fear after meeting his eyes!

The man was as much as of an unrivaled beauty as he was cold. Together, he produced an extremely strong visual and mental impact.

A person like him was surely one to hold another’s fate in his hands. He must be frequently stationed above everyone else and had a cruel and tyrannical nature.

Right now, he was staring fixedly at the people inside the mourning hall with his overwhelming cold aura.

“What happened, Yan’er?”

A frowning Ning Zu’an was standing next to the man. He stared unhappily at Qingyu, who was kneeled beside Ning Xueyan. This girl was sure insensible to mention old illnesses. What would His Highness Prince Yi think after hearing that?

“Father, I’m… I’m fine.”

Ning Xueyan forced herself to sit up straight and put on a small smile. However, her hand that she placed by her side couldn’t help trembling.

“Tell me the truth.”

It was Qingyu who Ning Zu’an addressed this time. His expression was somber and his gaze was sharp. As a former military commander, his glare carried quite a bit of a demonic air.

“Marquis, my Young Lady isn’t feeling well and has been breaking out in cold sweat all day. I would like to invite a physician to check on her.” QIngyu was both worried about Ning Xueyan and terrified of Ning Zu’an. When she was questioned, she immediately lowered her head to the floor and answered.

“Why aren’t you going then?” Ning Zu’an frowned.

“The physicians are… all with First Madam…” Qingyu’s voice trembled. She didn’t finish her sentence.

Ning Zu’an looked at Ning Xueyan’s body, so thin that she looked like she would topple over with the slightest breeze, and then at the nonchalant expression that she forcefully wore. Finally, he took note of how the mourning hall was deserted except for a pair of master and servant. A trace of concealed anger inadvertently flashed across his face. He had ordered Madam Ling to organize the funeral properly but she had treated his words like air!
