The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 37. His pet could only belong to him

Ning Qingshan used to pick red plums for Madam Dowager. These days Madam Dowager mentioned it from time to time. She talked about the filial Third Young Lady Ning Qingshan, as if she was talking about her biological granddaughter. She spoke highly of her and also asked Ning Xueyan to clean the Foggy Courtyard. All the appliances were replaced with new ones, several of which were given by Madam Dowager.

And that dazzling glaze screen given by Madam Dowager was Madam Ming's dowry!

It seemed that not only Madam Ling, but also Madam Dowager privately took possession of Madam Ming's dowry, otherwise, Madam Dowager would not be so generous and send things to Ning Qingshan's Foggy Courtyard.

Madam Dowager mentioned Ning Qingshan and red plums again and again. How could Ning Xueyan not understand that? So today she specially came out to pick red plums for Madam Dowager.

Qingyu walked away while carrying the vase with the red plum in it. Ning Xueyan stood alone under the plum tree and meditated while looking at the red plums. The red plums made her black hair and beautiful face free from vulgarity. And her pale face even made people feel that she would go with the wind.

"Sister!" A gentle and affectionate cry came behind her. That gentle voice almost made her feel that she was in a dream. Once there was a person who also called her so gently.

"Ying'er, I'll accompany you all my life!"

"Ying'er, you are the only wife in my life. I will never betray you!"

"Ying'er..."

Ning Xueyan shook her head to get rid of the voice in her mind. Then she blinked her eyes and turned back. When she saw the man coming to her, she was a little surprised!

It was Ning Huaiyuan!

When she was Ning Ziying, she had met Ning Huaiyuan. At that time, Ning Huaiyuan was neither indifferent nor enthusiastic to Ning Ziying. After all, there should be a prudent reserve between the sexes. Although Ning Ziying lived in Lord Protector's Manor, she had only seen Ning Huaiyuan a few times and said a few words with him. She almost had no impression of him.

In Ning Xueyan's memory, this brother always ignored her. When he saw that she was bullied by Ning Yuling, he would not say a word for her and passed by with indifference. Instead of seeing her who was bullied, he went to see Ning Yuling who bullied her and asked whether her hand was hurt when she beat her. In his mind, she had never been his sister.

Unexpectedly, he would come forward and call her affectionately when he saw her this time. How could Ning Xueyan not be surprised?

Looking up at him, Ning Xueyan did not speak for a moment.

Ning Huaiyuan thought that Ning Qingshan did not recognize him for a while, and gently said, "We haven't seen for many years. Didn't you recognize me?"

"Brother!" Although Ning Xueyan did not know what Ning Huaiyuan meant, she still calmly went forward and slightly bowed to salute him.

"I haven't seen you for many years. Unexpectedly, you're more beautiful and more courteous." Ning Huaiyuan smiled more gently and reached out, as if he was going to help her get up.

Ning Xueyan moved aside and avoided his hand. She blinked her eyes and slight indifference appeared in her eyes. She meditated in her mind. "Ning Huaiyuan's attitude is really strange. When did I have such a good relationship with him, so that he directly called me sister."

Ning Huaiyuan asked with a smile on his face, "Sister, are you busy now? Can you stroll with me for a while?" A trace of meaningful look flashed through his eyes.
