The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 111. She cannot afford to gamble

"What? The Third Young Lady got the Fifth Young Lady involved in trouble?" Madam Dowager beat the table hard and stood up suddenly with the support of her walking stick. She was so angry that her face turned ashen. She had bet all her hope on the Fifth Young Lady, but she didn't expect that the Third Young Lady would do this to the Fifth Young Lady.

She was originally delighted to hear that the Third Prince finally came to see Ning Qingshan, and specially told others not to disturb them. Based on the Third Prince's previous attitude, she could tell that he didn't care about Ning Qingshan at all. She had thought that Ning Qingshan had become useless in her plan. Unexpectedly, the Third Prince came here in person. How could Madam Dowager not be overjoyed?

However, Madam Dowager didn't expect that things would come to this. Ning Qingshan intended to trap her sister by making the "ambiguous relationship" between the Third Prince and Ning Xueyan discovered. She even attempted to drag Ning Xueyan into the room and thus to make the secret meeting between them a fact.

"She's such a mean girl. Who on earth gave her the courage to plot against her sister like that!" Madam Dowager walked around the room twice with hatred. At present, Ning Qingshan and Ning Xueyan were the only two decent Young Ladies who could seek benefits for Lord Protector's Manor.

Madam Dowager considered that the Third Prince was more likely to inherit the throne. Nevertheless, Madam Dowager had experienced the former dynasty. Before the current dynasty was established, who could have thought that the powerful and prosperous former dynasty would suddenly collapse? Who could have thought that the winner was not the most powerful person at that time but the Ao family?

Thus, Madam Dowager thought that she couldn't put all her chips in the same bowl.

She had considered the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince most promising before, so she intended to marry a granddaughter to each of them. Now that the Third Prince took a fancy to Ning Qingshan, and the Fourth Prince took a fancy to Ning Xueyan, it was perfect. No matter who became the new emperor in the future, Lord Protector's Manor could remain wealthy. Regarding Prince Yi's Manor, it was not that she had never thought about it, but she just didn't dare to think about it.

It was known to all that Prince Yi showed no tenderness toward girls at all. There were at least dozens of girls dying in his manor. If a chess piece died before winning his favor, it was not a good chess piece.

Madam Dowager didn't expect that Ning Xueyan would be granted to Prince Yi's Manor. Moreover, Prince Yi seemed to treat Ning Xueyan differently. It aroused Madam Dowager's other thoughts. In Madam Dowager's opinion, the Third Prince and Prince Yi were the biggest opponents for the throne, unless something unexpected happens.

It would be better to marry one of her granddaughters into Prince Yi's Manor than into the Fourth Prince's Manor.

How could such a good plan ruined by Ning Qingshan? Now Prince Yi had vented his anger on Ning Xueyan, which meant that Lord Protector's Manor must give Prince Yi's Manor an explanation. Thinking of Prince Yi's horrible character, Madam Dowager gnashed her teeth in hatred. Prince Yi was so tough that he even slapped the Third Prince. So Lord Protector's Manor definitely couldn't turn a blind eye.

"Lanning, go back and serve your master well. Tell your master to be more open-minded and not to get angry with Prince Yi. Speaking of this, she can't blame Prince Yi for being angry. After all, a member of our Lord Protector's Manor has offended him. After your master gets over it, tell her to apologize to Prince Yi."

After walking two rounds, Madam Dowager came to Lanning, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice.

It was not her master who had done anything wrong. How could Madam Dowager ask her master to apologize to Prince Yi in such a humble way? Lanning couldn't help feeling indignant for her master. Madam Dowager wanted to attach herself to Prince Yi so terribly that she didn't even care about dignity.
