The Devious First-Daughter

Madam Ling coldly asked with an unhappy face, ”Whatʼs the matter?”

”Although marquis has pity for you, he went to Concubine Maʼs courtyard and asked people to invite a doctor for Concubine Ma as soon as I left.” Mother Chen said indignantly, ”This b*tch had promised to you, but eventually she helped Fifth Young Lady deal with you. Sheʼs an ungrateful person.”

Madam Ling gritted her teeth and asked again, ”What about that little b*tch?”

Mother Chen knew that Madam Ling was asking about Ning Xueyan. She answered while pointing to Bright Frost Garden, ”Iʼve already inquired about it. I heard that nothing had happened to Fifth Young Lady and Madam Dowager had rewarded her a lot of things and asked maids to send them to Bright Frost Garden. The servants said that the Fifth Young Lady is preferred by Madam Dowager and no one will dare to slight her and she will certainly get a good marriage.”

”A good marriage!” Madam Ling snorted coldly. Mother Chenʼs words aroused her anger.

In Madam Lingʼs opinion, both Ning Yulingʼs marriage and reputation had been ruined by Ning Xueyan so that she had to marry the useless libertine, Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li.

”My Lingʼer wonʼt marry a good man, can she marry a good man?” Madam Ling would definitely choose a normal family for Ning Xueyan, so that she would be inferior to Ning Yuling for her whole life.

”Bring me the matchmaker who was invited by Marquis of Pingʼanʼs Manor last time. Just tell her that I have something to ask.” Madam Ling made a decision in a moment while maliciousness flashing in her eyes.

In Madam Lingʼs mind, Ning Xueyan wanted to marry the Third Prince. How could she allow that to happen? She would not let her daughter be inferior to Ning Xueyan. So she would choose a ”good family” for Ning Xueyan!

Mother Chen asked hesitantly, ”Yes, but Madam Dowager...” She did not think that Madam Dowager would agree to the marriage that Madam Ling would arrange for the Fifth Young Lady.

”Doesnʼt Marquis of Pingʼan have a daughter who is His Majestyʼs consort? Itʼs said that her position is not high, but sheʼs favored by His Majesty.” Madam Ling smiled gloomily. Her swollen forehead, together with her gloomy face, making her treacherous.

”I understood. Do we need to tell Madam Dowager? If Madam Dowager agrees, the Fifth Young Lady has to get married even though she doesnʼt want to.”

Mother Chen reminded Madam Ling with a look of disinclination. The Third Prince wanted to marry the Fifth Young Lady. It was better for Lord Protectorʼs Manor that if the Fifth Young Lady became the co-consort of Third Prince than marrying Marquis of Pingʼan. Madam Dowager always attached great importance to the reputation of Lord Protectorʼs Manor. How could she allow the Fifth Young Lady to marry Marquis of Pingʼan?

Madam Ling bitterly said with a cold smile on her face, ”At the beginning, Madam Dowager didnʼt want me to be marquisʼs Legal Wife, but she had to agree in the end!”

Mother Chen became nervous when she heard what Madam Ling said. She asked in a low voice with a serious look, ”Madam, are you talking about those things?”

Madam Ling proudly said, ”With those things, she has to agree with me about Ning Xueyanʼs marriage.”

”But, madam, you, you want to give those things to Marquis of Pingʼan?” Mother Chen was shocked and her face turned pale involuntarily. She said with worry, ”What if this is known by Marquis of Pingʼan...”

”Donʼt worry, Iʼve had a plan!” Madam Ling said while fiercely looking at the direction of Lucky Garden, ”Youʼre old enough to die, why you still firmly control the womenfolk place of Lord Protectorʼs Manor?”

Concubine Xu sneaked in Buddha Hall at dusk. The light in Buddha Hall was always on, and the figures inside were sometimes together and sometimes separated. Mother Chen, who was guarding outside, looked at the surroundings cautiously, but did not notice the dark shadow on the trees in the courtyard.

In the Bright Frost Garden, seeing that Ning Xueyan was leaning on the bed and reading a book carefully when she came in, Lanning advised, ”Young Lady, you should stop reading now. Itʼs time to rest!”

Ning Xueyan had taken a bath, now her black long hair casually scattered on her shoulder. The pills given by Prince Yi were indeed good. After taking, Ning Xueyanʼs face became ruddy. Although it was still paler than a normal face, it was much better. Under the light, her indifferent face looked gentle and charming. Young as she was, she was already pretty.
