The Devious First-Daughter

The older female servant who came in first let go of the other servantʼs hand and knelt on the ground angrily. She reported loudly, ”Madam Dowager, I went there to take someone away, but she spoke rudely. She even dared to speak ill of Madam Dowager. The entire time, she uttered insulting remarks without any good words.”

A moment ago, she talked about Ning Xueyan. Now, the person she talked about was Madam Dowager. Seeing that the eyes of Madam Dowager had suddenly turned razor sharp, Madam Ling felt really anxious. She went over and slammed hard on the face of the servant who guarded the door. Then she said angrily, ”You dog slave. How dare you insult Madam Dowager!”

”I, I didnʼt insult Madam Dowager. I, I only said that the Fifth Young Lady is sickly. I didnʼt curse Madam Dowager at all!” The older female servant was nearly knocked out by Madam Ling. After she heard what Madam Ling had said, she argued loudly in a hurry.

As a matter of fact, she had never abused Madam Dowager. Now she was misunderstood and had been pulled here by someone else. Her head felt all muzzy along the way. Before she could figure everything out, she had been slapped in the face by Madam Ling. All she could hear were the few words: ”insult Madam Dowager”. She knew that she had been wronged so she refused to admit to her mistakes and argued loudly.

Seeing that it was almost the time, Ning Xueyan winked at Lanning.

”Why is the Fifth Young Lady sickly?” Lanning growled at the side at the right moment, glaring angrily at the older female servant.

The woman became angry under her gaze and her attention was immediately attracted by Lanning.

She had gotten in such big trouble all because of the little bitch in front of her. Now, she was being beaten and wronged by others. The servant became wild with rage. Not seeing her surroundings clearly, she immediately argued back and cursed, ”You little bitch, among all the people in the manor, who doesnʼt know that the Fifth Young Lady is sickly? She may die at any time.”

”You actually dare curse our Young Lady! She is the mistress of Lord Protectorʼs Manor.” Lanning was trembling with anger.

Seeing the weakness of Lanning, the servant pressed on and continued her victorious pursuit. ”Why canʼt I curse her? What kind of mistress is she? Among all the people in the manor, no one regards her as the mistress. How dare she consider herself the mistress!”

No one knew that the servant would actually say something like this. It was too late for Madam Ling to stop her. Madam Ling went blank on the spot and her face turned pale.

Seeing the servant froth at the mouth with curses, Ning Xueyan immediately picked up the cup by her hand and threw it at the servant. The fine porcelain cup smashed a step away from the servant. It then broke into pieces. A flying piece sliced across the face of the servant and left a bloody mark behind.

The servant shut up immediately out of fear!

Ning Xueyan threw a cold look at Madam Ling, who had yet to come to her senses. Then she turned around and knelt down in front of Madam Dowager with a loud thud. ”Grandmother, I volunteer to guard my momʼs tomb. From then on, Iʼll stay with oil lamps before the statue of Buddha and Iʼll never bring you any trouble!”

Her expression looked firm and indifferent. Her face remained calm. There was only a glimmer of tears in her eyes, which made her look stubborn and beautiful.

There was only silence in the room. They all couldnʼt help holding their breath.

”Take her away and beat her to death!” Madam Dowager growled with a solemn face. She made the decision in an instant.

”Grandmother, donʼt bother. There are a lot of people like her in the manor, so why should we bother to kill her?” Ning Xueyan said serenely. However, she got a trace of sadness at the bottom of her eyes. She was the first wifeʼs daughter of the manor, but she was repeatedly cursed by an inferior servant. Anyone in her situation would feel frustrated.

”Madam Dowager, I have never thought that the status of the Fifth Young Lady in the manor is actually no better than an inferior servant. No wonder that even her medicine was poisoned,” sneered the Consort Dowager of Commandery Prince Li. Shaking her head, she thought, ”All the people in Lord Protectorʼs Manor have no standards. They even let a servant tread on the first wifeʼs daughter.”

”It seems that the status of the Fifth Young Lady is not as high as Madam Dowager has shown us.”
