The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 129. Princely heir of the Feudal Prince of Yunnan

When Chen Qing's situation was mentioned, Mother Chen followed Xinmei down the mountain as expected. She just had such a younger family member, and she planned to ask him to nourish her in her old age and bury her dead body. If something bad happened to Chen Qing, she would die of sadness, so without wasting any time, she simply abandoned the more-dead-than-alive Madam Ling lying on the bed and went down the mountain.

It was not suitable for Ning Xueyan to meet people in Prince Yi's Manor, so she informed Ao Chenyi of her tour very early and then went to meet Mother Chen in Yuyan Shop.

In the shopkeeper's room of Yuyan Shop, Mother Chen met Ning Xueyan. Although she found that Ning Xueyan was still plain and neat, she looked proud and refreshed. Mother Chen had bitterness in her heart. No one could expect that Fifth Young Lady Ning, who could not even save her life at that time, would trample on Madam Ling someday.

And now the quite noble Eldest Young Lady and Second Young Lady could only live in the Xia Manor and serve as concubines who were never valued or favored.

When Second Young Lady came in the morning, she clearly noticed that Second Young Lady was not favored; otherwise, how could she just have one maid with her? More terribly, Second Young Lady became a concubine of the Xia Manor that way. Not to mention that the people of the Xia Manor did not appreciate her, even those of the Lord Protector's Manor depreciated her. Therefore, Mother Chen thought that for Ning Yuling, giving up the Vice Minister of Justice's Manor and being a concubine of Xia Yuhang at that time was completely an act of ending her future. Besides, she also had a relationship with Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li in the past.

No matter how lascivious a man is, if someone else has a relationship with his wife, he will not bear it for too long.

"Fifth Young Lady, let your old slave salute you!" Mother Chen heaved a sigh and then knelt down with a thud before Ning Xueyan. Now it was not time to sigh with emotion about the experiences of First Young Lady and Second Young Lady. "Please save my nephew, Fifth Young Lady."

Just now, Xinmei had made it clear that if she wanted to save Chen Qing, she would have to beseech Ning Xueyan, so when she saw Ning Xueyan after she entered the room, Mother Chen dropped to her knees straight away.

"Don't you think there seems to be no such kindness between you and me, Mother Chen?" Ning Xueyan said indifferently when she saw Mother Chen in such a state.

Madam Ling had been with an overwhelming advantage in her struggle with Madam Ming almost since she married into the mansion. She framed her opponent time after time and suppressed her again and again, so the people of the Bright Frost Garden and the members of the Auspicious Clouds Courtyard did not like each other at all. It was kind to say that there was still no enmity between them.

"Fifth Young Lady, I know you won't believe anything I say now, but I had no command over myself back then, and it was all my madam's idea. What could I do as a servant? Could I disobey the orders of my madam?" Mother Chen said with a grievance and kowtowed hard a few times on the ground before she raised her head again and said solemnly, "What do you want to know, Fifth Young Lady? I will tell you everything I know."

She knew that it was impossible for Ning Xueyan to have brought her down Mingyuan Temple for no reason, so when she said this, she was a little confident. At least, she was not completely useless.

"I know what you know." Ning Xueyan gave a small smile and cast a glance at Mother Chen completely indifferently, but when Mother Chen became dumbfounded, she added, "Ning Ziying's marriage was taken by Ning Ziyan. After that, the night before the wedding, Madam Ling and Ning Ziyan drowned her in the lotus pond with their people, and you, Mother Yun, and a few others were all their accomplices. Of course, your nephew also contributed to it. Those stunning portraits of the beauty should be your nephew's works, right?"
