The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 49. A vicious woman

Everyone present had thought that Third Young Lady was so kind that she had already known to feed her younger sister medicine at such a young age. Only Mother Han saw that Ning Qingshan had slipped some drug into Ning Xueyan's medicine bowl. But all the medicine in the bowl had gone, so she had no evidence. Besides, nobody would believe that a child of six years old had done something so vicious.

Moreover, after being found out by Mother Han on spot, Ning Qingshan had not been in a panic, but handled this matter perfectly.

When Madam Ming and Mother Han walked into the room, they found Ning Qingshan still looking naive. She repeated that she had spilled the medicine soup onto her clothes by accident when she tried to feed her younger sister. Looking at her wet clothes, naive face and guilty expression, Mother Han could not help feeling chilly.

No matter how cunning, slippery, or even vicious a person was, at least, he or she should be naive at this age.

But Ning Qingshan seemed to be born to act. Mother Han had been so scared at that point, and she had not said anything to anyone else.

After that, the more she thought about it, the more she felt worried, so she told Madam Ming this. Fortunately, Madam Ming had been trusted Mother Han, so she believed what she said. From then on, Madam Ming had not treated Ning Qingshan as well as before.

"But what happened before Third Young Lady moving out?" Lanning could not help asking. Without evidence, Madam Ming would not have driven Ning Qingshan out from Bright Frost Garden only because of what Mother Han said.

Ning Xueyan looked at Mother Han thoughtfully. Mother Han looked serious, and Ning Xueyan knew that something big must have happened before Ning Qingshan had left Bright Frost Garden.

"A few days after that accident, Third Young Lady went to Madam Dowager to offer her greetings. Madam Dowager found that she was in black and blue, so she asked her who had beaten her. Ning Qingshan didn't say anything, but kept on crying. Later, Madam Dowager came here with her attendants to investigate this matter. Then she said for no reason that it was Madam Ming who had beaten Ning Qingshan. She also said that Madam Ming acted one way to people's face and another behind people's back, and she had even ill-treated a little girl of six like this!"

Mother Han was angry when she spoke. "Madam Ming was a stubborn person and she had always been at odds with Madam Dowager. Therefore, hearing what Madam Dowager said, she didn't explain and went back to her room. Madam Dowager told everyone that Madam Ming ill-treated Third Young Lady and took Third Young Lady to Foggy Courtyard. Since then, people of the manor looked down upon Bright Frost Garden even more."

Mother Han could not hold back her anger whenever she talked about this. Madam Ming had done nothing wrong and she had treated Ning Qingshan so well, but everybody had thought that she was a vicious woman! Although Ning Qingshan had not said that it was Madam Ming who had beaten her, from her almost trembling expression, everyone could tell that she was accusing Madam Ming. Who would think that such a child had been acting in front of them?

Ning Xueyan sneered. It seemed Ning Qingshan was really difficult to deal with.

She had framed Madam Ming when she was only six years old! No wonder that she had never been sincere when she came to Bright Frost Garden to greet Madam Ming every year before. Madam Ming had not been warm to her.

"Miss, you must be cautious and watch out for Third Young Lady. There is something I don't know about Third Young Lady. I only know that after moving into Foggy Courtyard, she endeared herself to both Madam Dowager and marquis. It's said she also got on well with First Madam!"

"Don't worry. I'll be careful!" Ning Xueyan nodded slightly. "Putting drug into my medicine bowl?" Thinking about this, she suddenly frowned and her face was filled with coldness.
