The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 39. The stained account book

Third Prince, Ao Mingyu was going to walk into a restaurant with several guards.

He had left the Lord Protector's Manor before supper. The gentle and kind girl who had left three years ago came back. Although she was not as perfect as he imagined, she was still a gentle, graceful and beautiful. What was more, she was much better than Ning Yuling. So Ao Mingyu was satisfied with Ning Qingshan.

He had become the emperor's favorite prince now and he was quite different from he used to be three years ago, so even he was satisfied with Ning Qingshan, he wouldn't pay too much attention on her. He had done everything her mother told him to do, and what he needed to do was wait and see how the Lord Protector's Manor would act to show its sincerity.

What he had to consider about was not only Ning Qingshan, but the whole situation as well. It would be his best choice to connect with Lord Protector by marriage, but unfortunately, Ning Qingshan's status was too humble, even lower than Ning Xueyan's.

If the Lord Protector's Manor didn't want to do anything to raise Ning Qingshan's status, he preferred to marry with Ning Xueyan. Since this idea came to him, he took it more and more seriously. Ao Mingyu even thought it was a good choice for him. If he had Ning Xueyan become his concubine, Lord Protector's Manor would stood on his side. Then he would marry a woman from a more powerful family as his principle wife. That would be perfect!

When he was still in trance, people suddenly retreated to both sides of the street. A luxurious carriage rushed toward them at an incredible speed and the crowd immediately went chaos. Several guards of Ao Mingyu were about to guard him retreat while a person suddenly run to them from a sideroad.

Everyone was focusing on what happened in front of them, and none of them had noticed that someone rush out from the sideroad. This person ended up to bump into Ao Mingyu.

"How dare you!" Seeing that Ao Mingyu was hit, a guard run over at once and pushed away the person who bumped into Ao Mingyu.

The carriage rushed over from behind of Ning Xueyan, so Xinmei didn't have time to explain to her. She immediately run to her and pulled her to the roadside. Since Xinmei was still some distance from Ning Xueyan, in order to save time, she used all her strength while pulling her. Ning Xueyan was weak and she couldn't withstand the impact at all. She lost her balance and was sent flying to the street beside her.

She bumped into Ao Mingyu so hard that her hat was almost knocked off!

To her surprise, when she raised her head, she saw a pair of eyes she was familiar with. She lowered her head in a hurry and covered her hat with her hand. Then she took several steps back and was about to slip into the crowd.

How could Third Prince show up here?

"Stop!" Ao Mingyu yelled. Ning Xueyan tried to keep going, pretending not having seen him, but a sword rested on her neck like lighting. She rose her head slowly and looked at Ao Mingyu cautiously.

Her jade-like eyes were special, as they were deep with fascination. Her long eyelashes trembled several times.

"Fifth..." Ao Mingyu immediately recognized that she was Fifth Young Lady from the Lord Protector's Manor. He froze for a while and frowned slightly. Then he reached out and pulled Ning Xueyan to aside.

"Cousin Mingyu!" A girl's voice rang out from behind excitedly.

Then the carriage suddenly stopped accompanied by whinny of the horse. Ning Xueyan subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand from his, but it was gripped by him tightly and couldn't move at all. She was not a person to yield easily, so she continued to struggle.

"If you don't want to be found out, don't move!" Ao Mingyu warned in a low voice.

"Cousin Mingyu, what are you doing here? I was on my way to your manor!" With that, a melodious laughter rang out and the girl walked over. Ning Xueyan stopped struggling. It was not because she was afraid of Ao Mingyu, but because the voice of the girl.
