The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 72. A powerful man

"What? I'm trying to mess up her marriage in order to marry Third Prince?"

Ning Xueyan curved up her lips with coldness in her jet-black eyes. Looking at Ning Qingshan fearlessly, she said calmly, "Third Sister, don't get me involved in the matter between you and Third Prince. I have nothing to do with Third Prince, but please respect my mother. If you look down on her, why did you call her 'mother' so intimately before? After she had passed away, you started calling Madam Ling 'mother'. Third Sister, you are really something!"

She did not care what had happened between Ning Qingshan and Ao Mingyu, but Ning Xueyan did not think that there was any reason for Ning Qingshan to humiliate Madam Ming.

"I'm really something? Of course! If you were not jealous of me, Third Prince would have fallen in love with me," Ning Qingshan said in a low voice with obvious hatred in her eyes.

"Jealousy? Third Sister, what makes you think in this way? Because you're favored by our grandmother?" Ning Xueyan asked calmly with a trace of smile on her lips, which was sarcasm and ridicule in Ning Qingshan's eyes. Besides, Ning Xueyan also used the same reason that she had told Madam Dowager before.

"Of course you're jealous of me! I'm noble and you are no match for me. I'm the perfect match for Third Prince. Besides, I'm excellent in all aspects and it won't be difficult for me to rise higher in the future. However, you have always been against me and gotten me into trouble. If it weren't for you, our father wouldn't have suspected me and Third Prince would not have distanced from me."

The more Ning Qingshan said, the angrier she became. Her elegant eyes were covered with a hint of hatred because of her deep jealousy. It was hard to believe it was Ning Qingshan, who had always put a perfect and gentle smile on her face in front of people.

It sounded that Ning Qingshan was so noble that words could not even express her nobleness. It reminded Ning Xueyan of what Ning Qingshan's maid Xia'er had said when they first met. Xia'er had also hinted that her master was incredible noble. It made Ning Xueyan suspect that Ning Qingshan was the princess of the previous dynasty again. If that was not the case, how could an adopted daughter think herself extremely noble? It seemed that Ning Qingshan was hinting that she would become the empress in the future.

"Third Sister, though your identity is noble, I'm not worse than you. Why do you think that you fit Third Prince better than I do?" Ning Xueyan raised her eyebrows with a look of disapproval.

"You!? You think yourself excellent? Are you good at music, chess, calligraphy, and painting? Can you compose poems and songs? Can you be graceful and natural, born noble?" Ning Qingshan did not want to pretend to be gentle anymore. She looked at Ning Xueyan, biting her teeth, and shouted angrily, raising her voice unconsciously."

If it were not for the fact that they came late and there was no one in the guest rooms, many people would have gathered to watch.

Ning Xueyan was surprised, but soon showed a cold smile on her face. She had never thought that Ning Qingshan was so narcissistic. "Born noble? Is she really the princess of the previous dynasty?" If that was the case, it was no wonder that Ning Qingshan was so proud of herself and thought that she was born superior to others.

Of course, it was normal for her to think that she would become empress in the future. However, since she called Ao Mingyu 'cousin', it was impossible for her to be the princess of the former dynasty.

The previous regime had only been overthrown for more than a decade and there were a lot of rumors about it. It was said that the last emperor of the previous dynasty had no son and only a daughter who had been very young when he was deposed from the throne. Maybe the princess had not died in the fire in the imperial palace. Seeing Ning Qingshan's frantic look, Ning Xueyan only felt ironic.
