The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 26. Who is the Third young lady of Lord Protector's manor?

Seeing that the Third Prince behind her had gone further, Madam Dowager said in a low voice, "Marquis of Ping'an, what Madam Ling promised you can't be discussed now. We'll discuss it when she comes out of the Buddha hall." It could be inferred that Madam Dowager was angry from her voice, who narrowed her eyes and looked at the Marquis of Ping'an in front of her.

Marquis of Ping'an was different from Lord Protector. He had no real power. And everyone knew that none of his manor was somebody. On thinking that such a person wanted to marry her granddaughter, Madam Dowager got angry. An old playboy who was nobody dared to marry the Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor. He should know who himself was first.

"Don't worry, Madam Dowager. This was put forward by the marchioness of Lord Protector's Manor first. I was still thinking about whether to agree. After all, the woman I'm going to marry will be my marchioness. I have to be very cautious. Now, I've already made up my mind. Lord Protector's Manor and Marquis of Ping'an's Manor are matched for marriage. Such an important event should be up to you. It doesn't matter that marchioness is in the Buddha Hall."

Marquis of Ping'an reluctantly took his eyes back from Ning Lingyun. What he said sounded like that it was an honour to Lord Protector's Manor that he married the Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor.

Madam Dowager's angry face became gloomier, and she almost bit her teeth while saying, "Marquis of Ping'an, you really shouldn't have. We'd better discuss it when Madan Ling comes out of the Buddha Hall."

Madam Ling still could make trouble while she was in the Buddha Hall. Madam Dowager just wanted to shut her up for a long time until this matter was ruined. She actually wanted the Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor to marry this good-for-nothing Marquis of Ping'an. Madam Dowager wondered how stupid she was.

Yuan'er would take charge of Lord Protector's Manor in the future. If his sisters married into noble or powerful families, he would receive great help from them. Madam Ling was shortsighted as well as senseless. She actually wanted to ally with Marquis of Ping'an by marriage. Everyone knew that Marquis of Ping'an and his family members had no bright future. If it were not for his one daughter who had married the emperor, his family would have already collapsed.

Marrying to Marquis of Ping'an was no better than marrying a promising official, at least he would not make trouble and influence the Lord Protector's Manor in the future.

Hearing that Madam Dowager found pretexts for not agreeing him to marry her granddaughter, Marquis of Ping'an darkened his face and unhappily asked, "Madam Dowager, do you want to repudiate the marriage?"

Ning Xueyan had already passed the corner. Suddenly, she gave a low cry of pain and bent down to cover her feet.

Lanning immediately held her and asked in a low voice, "Young Lady, what's wrong?"

"It's all right. It's just the sprain of ankle," Ning Xueyan whispered while slightly frowning. She bit her lips, lowered head, and winked at Lanning while people did not pay attention to them.

"You two go to serve the Third Prince, we'll come after I massaging our Young Lady's feet." Lanning immediately received Ning Xueyan's meaning and said to the two maids of Lucky Garden who was standing aside.

The two maids gave a look at Ning Xueyan and then at the Third Prince and Ning Lingyun who had gone far away. After thinking about it, they went on walking and followed the Third Prince.

They were asked by Madam Dowager to serve the Third Prince, not the Fifth Young Lady.

Although the Fifth Young Lady's situation was not as bad as before, she still was less important than the noble Third Prince.
