The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 55. Third Young lady failed

Ning Qingshan watched Ning Lingyun lead Ning Xueyan away. Then she let down the curtain in her hand, and there was a complacent smile on her face. She was smart. The matter of Ning Lingyun framing Ning Xueyan had been instigated by her, secretly. She had already known that Ning Lingyun wanted to frame Ning Xueyan from the many clues, and to break off the engagement with Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li too.

The best way was to let Ao Xian ruin Ning Xueyan's innocence, and at the same time let others discover it.

Then Ning Xueyan, whose reputation would be ruined, could only be a concubine of Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li. At the same time, what Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li did, would also make Ning Zu'an angry and his engagement with Ning Lingyun would be called off, and Ning Lingyun would be free again.

It was a perfect plan, but Ning Qinshan did not believe Ning Lingyun, so she made another backup plan. If Ning Lingyun's plan was changed, or if Ao Xian failed, Xia Yudong would appear to save Ning Xueyan and win her love. The final result would still ensure that Ning Xueyan would live a miserable life.

Ning Qingshan's goal was the same as Ning Lingyun's. Ning Lingyun's plan would have a short term effect, and easily discovered, while Ning Qingshan's plan would have a longer term effect According to Qingshan's plan, even though Ning Xueyan would finally die, it would not affect anyone else. She just needed to stand by and watch Ning Xueyan's misfortune.

Ning Qingshan had failed several times when she tried to frame Ning Xueyan, which made Ning Qingshan wary of Ning Xueyan, nor was she optimistic about Ning Lingyun. Ning Lingyun was likely to fail this time, but her plan was perfect.

No one would know that plan for the man who would save Ning Xueyan had been arranged by her. Soft fire makes sweet malt. As long as she could defeat Ning Xueyan, Ning Qingshan was willing to wait. "I failed when I tried to frame Ning Xueyan before, because I was too tense, so now, I'll do it slowly."

"I don't believe that Ning Xueyan will be able to escape this time."

While she was thinking, the curtain was raised and Feiyue hurried in. She then carefully looked at the door before closing it, looked relieved, and turned around.

She was the maid brought by Ning Qingshan this time. Now she was not the henchman of Madam Dowager. She had already become Ning Qingshan's henchman because of the threat and benefits from Ning Qingshan. Instead of helping Madam Dowager to monitor Ning Qingshan, she reported fake news about Ning Qingshan to Madam Dowager and devoted herself to helping Ning Qingshan. She wanted to go to the Third Prince's Manor with Ning Qingshan, and enjoy a higher position and great wealth in the future.

"Young Lady, I have told Mr. Xia Yudong, and he is on the way to the garden." Feiyue wiped away her sweat. In order to avoid the others, she had ran as fast as she could. Although it was winter, she still felt hot and sweaty.

"Did you ask him to play it by ear, later? If Ning Xueyan finds something wrong and tries to get away from Ao Xian, he will have to come out and help Ning Xueyan." Ning Qingshan sat in front of the dressing table and reached out to remove the hairpin on her head. Today, she dressed plainly, in order to show Third Prince that her mind had been at peace for the last three years.

So it was impossible for her to frame Ning Xueyan. What happened at the gate of the mansion was a misunderstanding and coincidence.

As soon as the hairpin was pulled out, Ning Qingshan's dark and straight hair fell to her shoulders. Feiyue came to help her take off the coat and said, "Don't worry, Young Lady. Mr. Xia said it will be okay. He will pay attention to the situation and said to tell you to relax, and wait for the good news."
