The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 20. Wife and Concubine both pregnant

Concubine Ma went out of the room soon. Now she was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief. And there was only one maid following her. Meanwhile, Ning Ziyan was still staying in the room. It seemed that she wanted to have a rest in the room after drinking the soup.

In the meantime, Chen Hexiang, the maid of Ning Ziyan, sneaked out from the room. After looking around for a while and finding nobody seeing her, she walked straightly toward her left. This path she was walking on could lead her to the male guests. She had already acknowledged that the path was very long because the Lord Protector had wanted to separate the male guests and the female guests completely.

Seeing Chen Hexiang's move, Ning Xueyan winked at Lanning. Having understood her mistress's intention, Lanning followed Chen Hexiang right away.

After Ning Ziyan finished drinking the soup, she commanded Chen Hexiang to massage her legs. Then she took a nap on the bed. Pregnant women always got sleepy, not to mention that Ning Ziyan had got up very early this morning. And there had been people coming around to chat with her. So she fell right into asleep when she finally got a chance to relax.

When Chen Hexiang found that Ning Ziyan was asleep, she stopped massaging her legs. Then she stood up and looked at Ning Ziyan viciously. Then she turned around and walked outside quietly. She was determined to let Xia Yuhang marry her no matter what. She couldn't bear being a menial maid anymore. Otherwise, she would definitely die in the hands of Ning Ziyan who always plotted something behind someone's back.

Chen Hexiang had been Ning Ziyan's puppet the moment she had entered the Xia Manor! How could a proud girl like her live with that!

Before when Xia Yuhang had come to her place, they had made out freely with passion. Now with Ning Ziyan keeping a close eye on her, Chen Hexiang couldn't even wink at Xia Yuhang.

She was pregnant. So she couldn't wait anymore!

If Xia Yuhang couldn't take her as his concubine, she was not able to keep the baby.

She had already felt something wrong about her at the Cold Mountain Temple. However, her period had only delayed for a day or two. So she hadn't been certain about that. What was more, she had planned to become a co-wife of Xia Yuhang by giving birth to his baby. After all, the woman who had been engaged with Xia Yuhang before Ning Ziyan was a weak person.

And she had thought that Xia Yuhang would agree to give her a position as a co-wife for the sake of the baby in her belly as long as she begged him.

She had planned to let Xia Yuhang repudiate that stupid woman after her baby was born. Then she would find an opportunity to kill the woman or destroy her reputation. Then she could be the only wife of Xia Yuhang!

However, her plan was not able to keep up with changes. It never occurred to her that Xia Yuhang didn't marry that stupid woman. Instead, it was Ning Ziyan who married him. Chen Hexiang had known that Ning Ziyan was the same person like her who looked gentle on the surface and acted evilly on the sly from the first glance at Ning Ziyan. That was why Chen Hexiang was anxious right now.

She would definitely be murdered once Ning Ziyan found out about her pregnancy.

Nevertheless, she didn't even have a chance to talk with Xia Yuhang in Xia Manor. Everywhere she went, there was a maid following her. She couldn't run away with that. If she still failed to speak to Xia Yuhang and let him marry her as his concubine, she would end up with a miserable life.

So she took a detour from the left in a hurry when Ning Ziyan was sleeping. She had noticed clearly that there were young male servants sending things from there.

However, she had to stop at an intersection, not knowing which path led to the male guests.

She didn't have much time. The longer she waited, the more dangerous she would become.
