The Devious First Daughter

371 - 380

“Fifth Sister…” Xia Yuhang wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ning Xueyan again. “Eldest Brother-in-law, you should go there quickly. Otherwise, Second Sister might die.”

Xia Yuhang looked at the anxious-looking Ning Xueyan, who was sitting, with one hand on the ground, and still neatly dressed. A trace of darkness flashed in his eyes. He had no choice, but to mount the horse and chase after Ning Yuling’s carriage.

Ao Chenyi sat on the horse with no expression on his face, and looked coldly at the thin and weak girl who had fallen to the ground. After seeing a drop of blood next to her hand on the ground, there was a trace of anger in his cold eyes. He pulled the whip out from the wheels of the carriage, reached out his hand, and wrapped it around Ning Xueyan’s slender waist, enclosing her in his hold.

Xinmei hurriedly got up from the other side and helped Ning Xueyan up.

The situation was critical. Even Xinmei, as a secret guard, could not react in time. She could do nothing except to protect her master behind her. In such a short moment, she also thought that she would definitely die or get hurt today.

No matter how bloodthirsty and cold Ao Chenyi was, or how moody he was, at least he had saved her again. She clearly remembered what had happened. Xinmei was in front of her, but everyone could see that Xinmei would not be able to stop the wheel, even if she stood in front of Ning Xueyan.

Fortunately, he appeared at such a crucial moment!

“Thank… thank you for saving me, Prince Yi!” Ning Xueyan composed herself and covered her injured hand with her sleeve. But everyone could see that her hand must have been injured. There were bloodstains on the ground, which showed that she had knocked against the carriage when she jumped out of it.

Even though she fell from the horse and was in shock, she still maintained her good manners. Her hair and clothes were not messy. It was evident that she had impeccable manners. The onlookers were shocked at first, and then they were puzzled by her demeanor. Then, someone spotted the emblem of the Lord Protector’s Manor on the carriage, which made them appreciate her greatly.

Ao Chenyi did not answer her. After she thanked him, he pulled the whip from her slender waist and looked coldly at her face. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. Then, he took the guards behind him, and bypassed the carriage of Lord Protector’s Manor and moved forward, as if they had just met on the way.

Prince Yi was always moody. The reason why he helped her was because he was in a good mood today.

In a street-facing room on the left side of the street, a handsome man with rosy lips, stood by the window and watched the scene with interest. There was a hint of contemplation on his beautiful face. He looked at Ao Chenyi, who was moving away and then at Ning Xueyan, who was struggling to stand up.

“Go and check how Prince Yi happened to appear at this site?” He said softly and slowly.

“Yes!” Someone outside answered and left.

.....

“Master, the Third Young Lady wants to invite you to assassinate the two young ladies of the Lord Protector’s Manor now.” The voice came from a hidden corner. Looking carefully, he saw a woman in white standing in a dark corner, with her head down.

After she finished speaking, she looked at the stunning profile of her master uneasily. When she saw him turning around, she hurriedly lowered her head and dared not move.

“Does Ning Qingshan want them killed?” The man turned his head and gave the woman in white, a charming look. His beautiful peach-blossom eyes were full of affection, like glittering autumn waves.
