The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 112. Deep affection between Ning Ziyan & Ning Yuling

"If you have anything from your grandfather, you exchange it with me." But this time, after saying that, the man in black suddenly stood up as if he had felt something. He listened carefully and then decisively pushed open the window. His figure flashed away, leaving only his voice in the air.

The wind blew in through the window, and it was cold.

"Miss, are you alright?" Another black shadow flashed into the room in a panic. Before she arrived, her voice came through. It was Xinmei.

"I'm fine!" Ning Xueyan had already calmed down and waved to Xinmei, who appeared by the window.

Xinmei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Ning Xueyan was fine and closed the window for her. Then she stopped at the window and listened carefully before wiping her sweat and coming over. Just now, when she saw a black shadow coming to Ning Xueyan's place, she was so scared that she almost lost her wits. She almost couldn't control herself from rushing in immediately.

Fortunately, the man in black didn't stay long. Otherwise, she couldn't wait any longer. Her lord sent her to protect this Young Lady, so she couldn't let anything go wrong with Ning Xueyan.

"Did he come from Ning Qingshan's place?" Ning Xueyan asked. At the sight of Xinmei, she had figured out who the man in black was. She had sent Xinmei to keep an eye on Ning Qingshan, but Xinmei had come to her place instead of Ning Qingshan's, which meant that there must be some connection between the man and Ning Qingshan.

"Yes, Young Lady. I've been keeping a close watch on Third Young Lady this evening. She slept late. I heard that her legs were painful so that she couldn't fall asleep. Later, she asked everyone to leave, but she was still awake. I thought it was strange that she had been up late into the night. After all, she was sick. Thus, I stayed there for a while longer. When the candles in Third Young Lady's room were out, I decided to go back. Just then, I saw this person enter Third Young Lady's room."

Xinmei wanted to go over and listen in on their conversations, but she noticed that the man's Lightness Skill was much better than hers. Therefore, she just chose to stay outside and didn't dare to make any further move. Later, the man came out. But to her surprise, he turned and came to Ning Xueyan's place. Greatly panicked, she immediately came after him and rushed over.

Ning Xueyan slightly lowered her eyes, which then blinked along with her long eyelashes. It seemed that she was deep in thought. "It looked that Ning Qingshan was really waiting for someone, and she should have been waiting for this person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the strength to stay up until the end of the troubled day." She knew it long ago that someone was backing Ning Qingshan secretly.

Otherwise, Ning Qingshan wouldn't have been out of danger several times. In previous, Ning Xueyan was not sure what Ning Qingshan was doing in the study of Ning Zu'an. But she was convinced that Ning Qingshan also came to the study for the military medallion from the preceding dynasty. After connecting these things, everything became much clearer in the eyes of Ning Xueyan.

"Ning Qingshan also wanted to get the military medallion from the previous dynasty, of course, for this person. This man must have promised great benefits to Ning Qingshan, or it was because of some other reasons that Ning Qingshan showed great interest in the study of Ning Zu'an. That person knew that the military medallion from the previous dynasty is in the hands of Ning Zu'an and that things happened to me in my previous life."

"Judging by the way he spoke, he even knew some private things of mine. Then who was this man? The person was a man, a young one. Aside from this, there was nothing particular about him. Except for Xia Yuhang, Hua Yunheng, who knew nothing about martial arts, was the only young man that I knew in my last life. It seems that both of them can't be that person."
