The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 61. Mysterious Middle aged woman

Ning Zu'an called Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan. Of course, Prince Yi asked him to do this. Ning Zu'an let his two unmarried daughters come here only because that Prince Yi had heard Ning Qingshan's good reputation. He wanted to see this lady who had gained a widely known reputation for her loyal and filial manner.

But if Ning Zu'an let Ning Qingshan come over alone, it was highly improper. Therefore, Ning Zu'an also asked Ning Xueyan to come here with her. In this way, two Young Ladies from the Lord Protector's Manor would meet Prince Yi together. And the Third Prince who left just now would not take it as an offense.

"So she is your Third Young Lady. She indeed looks smart and beautiful. Have you ever planned to marry one of your daughters to me?" Not in a hurry, Ao Chenyi smiled gently. Staring at the two girls up and down with his pretty eyes, Ao Chenyi seemed to be very interested in them.

"Prince Yi, Honored Consort Ya had mentioned that she might want my third daughter to marry the Third Prince." At this time, Ning Zu'an was truly in a cold sweat. "Does Ao Chenyi really take a fancy to Ning Qingshan? But it is not a good thing to the Lord Protector's Manor at all." Thus, he made an excuse and refused him in a hurry.

"Oh, that's a pity. So has the Fifth Young Lady ever accepted a marriage proposal?" Then, Ao Chenyi turned his eyes to the well-behaved Ning Xueyan, who stood quietly on the side, lowering her head in meekness. Slightly curved his lips into a smile, Ao Chenyi thought, "This little wild cat is so quiet today! She has put all her talons and fangs away. Now she doesn't look like the aggressive girl at all."

"She is too young, so she will marry someone only after all her sisters are engaged." Ning Zu'an glanced at Ning Xueyan and carefully chose his words. It was not because he loved Ning Xueyan dearly and had pity for her, but because he didn't want to associate too much with Ao Chenyi. In his opinion, the emperor would only pass the throne to his sons, and Ao Chenyi was destined to be a loser. Thus, how could Ning Zu'an want to get involved with him?

And with Ao Chenyi's character, Ning Xueyan would only be another toy of him if Ning Zu'an married her into his manor, which could not bring any benefits to the Lord Protector's Manor.

"Great. Those daughters of the Lord Protector's Manor are all good. They are as pure as the dewdrops and as bright as pearls." Suddenly, Ao Chenyi stood up and showed Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan a spurious smile. Then, wearing a somber look, he glanced at Ning Zu'an and laughed. Striding forward, Ao Chenyi walked outside. In a hurry, Ning Zu'an quickly followed him out.

They left the puzzled Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan, who then glanced at each other and went back to the flower hall together.

When such a thing happened, the party had to be huddled through at express speed. As they finished their meals, all the guests departed.

After seeing these guests off, Madam Dowager especially let Ning Qingshan and Ning Xueyan go to the Lucky Garden.

When all of them took their seats, Madam Dowager's face turned gloomy. Looking at them with a cold face, she questioned, "What the h*ll is going on?" Madam Dowager didn't indicate who she asked, but she landed her eyes on Ning Qingshan.

After all, except for the two princes, the people present at that time were only Xia Yuhang and Ning Qingshan.

"Grandmother, I... I don't know what has happened, either. When I heard someone screaming and entered the door, I saw the Eldest Sister standing there, shivering with only long johns. Qiushui, her maid, looked at the back of the screen, screaming. The Third Prince had sent someone to check. But they left without saying anything, leaving only the Eldest Brother-in-law to handle the matter alone."
