The Devious First-Daughter

Chapter 218 Fifth Sister, I’m Willing to Take All the Responsibility as Long as You Don’t Get Angry

Looking at the beautiful lady’s wronged face and tearful eyes, no man could bear to put the blame on her for those matters that had nothing to do with her. Ao Mingyu frowned and walked closer to Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan, as if he had something to say. The two guards behind him followed him closely.

“It’s weird that Third Sister’s wet nurse’s misunderstanding has led to a series of coincidences! When I was about go out, she stopped me, and before I could say anything, she began to accuse me, saying that I was going to take Concubine Ma away from the manor secretly. If Concubine Ma had not been found at our grandmother’s Lucky Garden, I would have died because of this ‘wonderful’ misunderstanding! Of course, it had nothing to do with Third Sister, and everything was caused by the bold and arrogant wet nurse.”

Ning Xueyan smiled slightly and raised her childish face, her feather-like eyelashes fluttering, as if she was sighing inwardly about her survival. However, there was a look of sarcasm in her eyes, hidden under her long eyelashes. “Ning Qingshan thinks that everyone is stupid and every man will be fascinated with her beautiful face and lose their heads over her performance!” she thought.

She knew without someone supporting her, a wet nurse would not have dared to get in a master’s way at the gate, and frame her in front of people.

Ning Qingshan was surprised that Ning Xueyan still showed no signs of making any concession. Gritting her teeth, she moved a few steps closer to Ao Mingyu. Now she was only one step from Ao Mingyu. She did not look at Ao Mingyu, but turned to Ning Xueyan and said plaintively, “Fifth Sister, you can say what you want. I’m willing to take all the responsibility as long as you don’t get angry.”

Instead of shirking the responsibility, she was going to take it on herself, as if she wanted to calm things down as soon as possible. She lowered her head and looked at Ning Xueyan’s feet. She knew that after moving closer to Ao Mingyu, she would be a little distance away from Ning Xueyan. Since Ning Xueyan was talking to her, she would definitely move closer to her, and then Ning Xueyan would be nearer to the small hound behind Third Prince.

A trace of a ferocious smile appeared on Ning Qingshan’s lips. If Ning Xueyan walked near them, it would be close enough for the small hound to smell her. At that very moment, Ning Xueyan happened to lift her foot.

However, before Ning Xueyan could move close to them, something unexpected happened. The small hound, which had been led by the guard, suddenly barked at Ning Qingshan and then rushed toward her. Caught off guard, she was knocked over by the hound, and fell to the ground.

With her beautiful, neatly combed hair in disarray, and her fair face smudged with the dust from the ground, she looked a total mess.

Seeing the small hound baring its teeth at her, Ning Qingshan could not help screaming, “Help! Help!”

The small hound had moved so quickly that nobody thought that it would attack Ning Qingshan in the blink of an eye. When everyone realized what was happening, Ning Qingshan had already fallen to the ground. With her messy hair and dirty face, she was screaming in horror, and nobody could tell that such a woman was a noble Young Lady.

Ao Mingyu felt very dissatisfied. If his mother had not said those words, he would have lost his temper.

“What’s this? Why is it holding on to this?” Lanning suddenly shouted in surprise, pointing at something under the small hound’s paw.

A guard managed to pull the small hound away, and the other guard picked up a perfume pouch from under its paw. It was Ning Qingshan’s perfume pouch, and it was still hanging from her waist. The guard applied more strength and ripped off the silk thread that held the perfume pouch. He then stood up and presented it to Ao Mingyu respectfully.

The perfume pouch was smelled a strong fragrance.

Ao Mingyu took it and froze for a few seconds. Suddenly, a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes. He opened the perfume pouch slowly and took out a jade pendant from it, which happened to be the one that Concubine Ma had tried to give Ning Xueyan.

The jade pendant itself emitted a fresh fragrance, which although was faint, could still mask the strong fragrance of the perfume pouch. Besides, this fragrance lasted longer and was more refreshing.
