The Devious First-Daughter

Chapter 366 Choosing the Spring Clothes

Seeing Ning Xueyan coming out, Lanning came forward to report. “Young Lady, I heard that he came to see the First Young Master. Then, he went to see the First Madam. I don’t know when he came here.”

She was waiting at the gate of the courtyard and did not go in. Every time she came here, she would think of her dead young lady and grieve in her heart. Therefore, she often stopped at the gate of the courtyard, but she could still see it clearly from where she was.

So, when she saw Xia Yuhang standing there and calling out to her Young Lady. Lanning hated Xia Yuhang as much as Ning Xueyan when she saw him. Her hatred of him was equal to her Young Lady Ning Ziying’s love for him. This man abandoned the gentle Young Lady Ning Ziying and married the Eldest Young Lady of the Lord Protector’s Manor. Everyone knew what it meant.

Since he had taken the initiative and gained benefits, why did he act like he loved Ning Xueyan so much now? Lanning was worried that Ning Xueyan would be deceived, so she came up to Ning Xueyan quickly.

“How’s the Eldest Young Master’s injury?” Ning Xueyan asked. She had restrained the coldness in her eyes, and was walking out of the room. She did not look back at all.

Seeing that Ning Xueyan acted naturally, Lanning felt relieved. “I heard that the Marquis’s kick had seriously injured the First Young Master. Yesterday, when he interceded for the First Madam with Madam Dowager, he fainted, and he sustained some serious injuries.”

When Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan went to the Lucky Garden to intercede for the First Madam yesterday, Ning Huaiyuan had passed out and had been carried back to his courtyard. So, Ning Xueyan had not seen him at that time.

It seemed that what had taken place yesterday had made Ning Huaiyuan’s injury worse.

As soon as Ning Xueyan arrived at the Bright Frost Garden, she saw Qingyu waiting at the door. When she saw Ning Xueyan walking back with Lanning, she said with a smile, “Young Lady, it’s a coincidence. Just now, the embroidery shop sent your spring clothes over. Come and have a look. Is there anything wrong with it?”

It was the usual practice for the Lord Protector’s Manor to make clothes for the legal daughters like Ning Xueyan, every season. It was spring now, and they could not wear thick clothes. The people from the embroidery shop had already taken Ning Xueyan’s measurements and the others as well. It was now the right time to wear thin spring clothes.

In the room, a capable, middle-aged woman, accompanied by several maids, was waiting. When she saw Ning Xueyan coming over, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile. She bowed to Ning Xueyan first and said, “Fifth Young Lady, these are the clothes we made for you. If you want to change anything, please tell me, and I’ll bring them back to be changed later.”

In the hands of several maids behind her, there was a thick stack of clothes, with rich, multicolored embroideries. They were made from the lightest and most beautiful cloth materials present.

The maid standing at the forefront took the clothes held in her clothes and presented them respectfully to Ning Xueyan.

Ning Xueyan looked through the suits and frowned slightly. These clothes were beautiful, but most of them were too gorgeous. They were not the style she liked at all. Both the materials and embroidery threads they used were brightly-colored, which looked quite like the ones Ning Yuling liked.

“Fifth Young Lady, don’t you like them? Madam Dowager chose these colors for you. She said that young ladies would look old-fashioned if you wear clothes that are too plain. Thus, she asked us to choose these materials for you. If you don’t like them, we can make two more sets of plain clothes for you. But you have to pay for these clothes yourself.”

The middle-aged woman said this with a smile.

This was indeed the rule of the Lord Protector’s Manor. Every season, the Lord Protector’s Manor would make several sets of clothes for them. If there were any extra clothes required, they would have to pay for them by themselves. They were allowed to choose the clothes by themselves. However, Ning Xueyan and Ning Qingshan had gone to the imperial palace for the Beauty Camp, and Ning Yuling had not returned to the capital yet. So, Madam Dowager decided for them and selected these clothes.

Because they were the ones Madam Dowager selected, Ning Xueyan could not say anything, no matter how dissatisfied she was. So, she had to take the clothes.
