The Devious First-Daughter

Chapter 482 Burying the Hatchet and Ning Qingshan’s Visit

“Young Lady, what shall we do now?” Caifen held Ning Qingshan’s arm and walked very slowly. After leaving Ning Huaiyuan’s study, Caifen could not help but ask.

Caifen had accidentally caused Ning Qingshan to fall down and become a laughing stock in front of Third Prince, so she felt very guilty about the incident. When she recovered and was able to move slightly, she immediately came to serve Ning Qingshan and stayed at Ning Qingshan’s side all the time.

“Humph! Ning Huaiyuan, you are really thinking about that bad girl!” Ning Qingshan stood still under a tree and snorted coldly. Then she turned to look at the study room and cursed bitterly. Her eyes were full of jealousy and hatred. She pulled down a branch hanging before her, tugging it so hard that a few green leaves fluttered to the ground.

“Let’s go to Bright Frost Garden. It is a nice day today, so I will have a walk with my good sister,” Ning Qingshan collected herself and strolled slowly. Luckily, she was not expecting any help from Ning Huaiyuan and had just gone to sound him out. It turned out that her guess was right.

If such a thing was made known, she wanted to see how Ning Huaiyuan would react! Of course, it was also unwise to do so because both of them would incur a loss. Compared to Ning Xueyan, it was easier for the others to suspect her. After all, she was Ning Huaiyuan’s younger sister and had no blood relationship with him. Otherwise, Ning Qingshan would have revealed all this long ago.

“Young Lady, you want to ask Fifth Young Lady to go for an outing together. Would you like to inform Second Young Master of Xia’s Manor?” Caifen immediately understood what Ning Qingshan meant. When she looked around and found that no one paid any attention to them, she asked in a low voice.

“Inform him? Why not do that? There is always someone who loves Fifth Sister at first sight and then finds it hard to forget her when they meet again. As her elder sister, I have to come up with a good idea to give her a hand,” Ning Qingshan said with a sarcastic and evil smile on her face.

She did not dare to deal with Ning Xueyan openly. Madam Dowager had already warned her and repeatedly said that if anything happened to Ning Xueyan, Prince Yi would never spare the Lord Protector’s Manor. And if the Lord Protector’s Manor was in trouble, her marriage might go up in smoke. God only knew what the arrogant and domineering Prince Yi would do.

Madam Dowager specially called Ning Qingshan over and told her these words. What Madam Dowager meant was enough to make Ning Qingshan feel humiliated and angry, but she had to promise that she would not stir up any trouble during this period of time. Although there were not many people present at that time, she was forced to commit herself in front of Madam Dowager.

Yet it was also a great shame for Ning Qingshan because it showed that Madam Dowager doubted and did not trust her.

She really had difficulty in walking, so she endured it silently for the past few days. Of course, she was also looking for opportunities, and definitely would not cause Ning Xueyan to have an accident openly. At this time, as long as something happened to Ning Xueyan, Madam Dowager would suspect her.

She could not meet with an accident openly, but what if it was something in her heart? What if Ning Xueyan was still in love with another man after marrying into Prince Yi’s Manor? If such a thing was in her heart, it was impossible to find anything wrong with Ning Xueyan seemingly. Even if Prince Yi wanted to investigate, he could not do it.

As for the future… After Ning Xueyan married into Prince Yi’s Manor, as long as she revealed a little of it to Prince Yi, Ning Xueyan would be finished. At that time, Ning Xueyan had already entered Prince Yi’s Manor and even if she had an accident, it would have nothing to do with the Lord Protector’s Manor and herself. According to Prince Yi’s character, even if he liked Ning Xueyan, she would still be cut to pieces and suffer a fate worse than death once she dared to betray him.

In the past, Ning Qingshan had already secretly inquired about the kind of person Ning Xueyan liked. She first thought of Xia Yudong, but she found that it did not work at all later, because Xia Yudong was not Ning Xueyan’s type. And now since the imperial examination was fast approaching, all the talents in the world would be coming to the capital.
