The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 81. Interlocked stratagems, Ning Huaijing was Caught

"What happened to Ning Huaijing?" Ning Xueyan sat down and asked.

"Miss, Childe Ning is very popular in the Qingyun Academy, but he got into a fight with someone and knocked him out! That person's family is very powerful, so Childe Ning was put into prison before he could defend himself," Mother Han answered anxiously.

It had happened suddenly, so when she got the news from Han Dazhuang, Childe Ning had already been taken away.

"Ning Huaijing fought with someone? He doesn't look like a person who knows how to fight!" Ning Xueyan thought.

"Who was that guy that got slapped?"

"It's said he came from a rich family. As his family is wealth and power, he always bullies people. Actually, they didn't fight for anything big. That person deliberately provoked Childe Ning, calling him a b*stard, so Childe Ning beat him out of anger. Then somehow that person hit the wall and fainted."

Mother Han wiped her sweat and explained in more detail.

"A b*stard?" Ning Xueyan's heart skipped a beat. She frowned slightly with a trace of enlightening flashing in her jet-black eyes. It seemed that someone began to doubt his parentage. It was no wonder that Madam Ling was so quiet these days, and she did not even meddle with the revenge of her beloved daughter. Now Ning Xueyan knew that Madam Ling had put her efforts into dealing with Ning Huaijing.

"Mother Han, send someone to the village outside the Eastern City, tell Ning Huaijing's mother that Ning Huaijing got into trouble and ask her to find a way to help him out."

"Ah? Miss, you don't intend to save him? Mother Han was surprised that Ning Xueyan did not try to save Ning Huaijing, but kicked the ball to someone else. She froze for a while, wondering what she meant.

"Mother Han, Ning Huaijing only injured someone, so it's not a big deal. Although he was in jail now, he will be okay. I'm sure his mother will find a way to save him," Ning Xueyan said with a slight smile. She then took the teacup from Lanning gracefully, lifted the lid and removed the tea foam.

"You mean we should have Madam Yu ask the marquis for help? But you'll lose an opportunity to have him owe you one." Mother Han did not understand what Ning Xueyan was doing. Ning Xueyan had asked her to keep an eye on Ning Huaijing and said she would help him out when he was in trouble. Now she finally got a chance, so Mother Han was so confused as to why she had given it up.

"Mother Han, go ahead and inform Childe Ning's mother first. Things won't be so simple," Ning Xueyan said meaningfully with a faint smile.

It was just a beginning and would not end so soon. With Madam Ling's characteristics, she would rather kill a hundred by mistake than to spare one enemy. It seemed she had not known the fact that Ning Huaijing was Ning Zu'an's son. Otherwise, she would have done more than this.

Maybe she was suspicious just because of Ning Huaijing's name, and obviously, she had no evidence now. Or the person who was beaten by Ning Huaijing would not only faint. Of course, there would be a follow-up of this matter. Madam Ling was just guessing and testing now. Once she got any evidence, she would show no mercy and immediately get rid of Ning Huaijing.

If Ning Xueyan meddled in at this moment, she would expose herself. Then Madam Ling and Ning Huaiyuan would be more alert and much more difficult to deal with.

Ning Xueyan was interested in Madam Yu's identity as well. Since Mother Wang made friends with Madam Yu, she had passed on all the messages Madam Yu told her to Ning Xueyan. Ning Xueyan was shocked when she heard the news after coming back from the imperial palace. She did not expect that there were so many secrets behind it. Ning Xueyan and her uncle had looked into the matter about Madam Ming for a long time but did not make much headway.
