The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 70. Coincidence might cause a disaster

In Foggy Courtyard, only Ning Qingshan and Mammy Luo were in the inner room. Both of them looked pale.

After a while, Ning Qingshan asked with a gloomy face, "Was she really beaten to death by my father?"

"Yes. When the marquis saw that maid, he immediately ordered people to beat her to death with sticks. It's said that he didn't even give her an opportunity to explain." Mammy Luo's face turned blue. Another maid had been beaten to death by Madam Dowager, and now this one was beaten to death by Ning Zu'an. Mammy Luo had thought that after leaving the nunnery, they would enjoy incomparable honor and wealth following Ning Qingshan, but now the servants had been beaten to death one by one, and it would be her turn next.

"Can we ask them to send another maid like this one? We can tell them that this maid was caught by my father due to her carelessness," Ning Qingshan said, biting her teeth, but her face softened a little.

"Miss, the maid who took the blame for you last time for what had happened at the gate was sent by them. Today, we lost another one. They told us last time that if anyone else they sent to us died, they would leave us alone and never send anyone here again."

Mammy Luo's face was ashen. She walked to the window and looked outside, lowering her voice.

"Mammy, don't worry. I'm sure that they will send us more people. They have to take my identity into consideration." Although Ning Qingshan did not look good, she raised her head and said proudly, "As long as they still want to achieve big goals, they will need me."

"Miss, we..." Mammy Luo was not as confident as Ning Qingshan. At the thought that the sword almost cut off her neck last time, she was frightened.

"Mammy, relax! You can promise that person that we'll be more careful next time. Tell him if he fails to send more people here, I may be killed in the imperial palace. If I die, it won't do any good to them. Besides, he should know that I do this for him!" Although Ning Qingshan was a little worried, she calmed herself down at the thought of this.

She looked even more arrogant. Her identity was unique. Since that person had made great efforts to find her, of course he would not abandon her easily. Thinking about it, she felt relieved. Anyway, due to her special identity, that person would not let her die easily.

"Got it, Miss. I'll find a way out soon." Seeing that Ning Qingshan had calmed down, Mammy Luo was a little relieved, as if she had found something to fall back on. That was right. Her master was so distinguished, so losing a few maids was not a big deal."

What was more, Mammy Luo thought that her master meant well to help that person to investigate Ning Zu'an. Nobody had thought that Ning Zu'an would have suddenly appeared. By now, Ning Qingshan did not know exactly what had happened yet.

After all, Ning Qingshan was very calm. She stopped Mammy Luo, who was about to leave and said, "No, don't go out today. Act as nothing has happened. Let's talk about it in a few days."

Since a maid from her courtyard had just been beaten to death, if her wet nurse was found running out of the manor in a hurry, other people would think that there was something wrong. Besides, that person had told Ning Qingshan not to look for him except for something extremely urgent.

That person had offered to come to meet her every time before.

"Yes, Miss, you're right!" Mammy Luo said, looking at Ning Qingshan with admiration. Now she had completely calmed down. She touched her forehead, closed her eyes and took a long sigh, suppressing her astonishment. Ning Qingshan's servants had been beaten to death one by one gave her a sense of foreboding, so Mammy Luo had lost her cool.
