Chapter 27 They Can Forget About Being Happy Themselves
The woman who walked over in an "ordinary" manner kneeled and knocked her head hard on the ground before raising her head fearfully. She wasn't a great beauty but she was petite and had a pitiful look. Tears cascaded down her cheeks as if she had been bullied. "It's a misunderstanding, Young Madam. Young Master Xia saved me, settled me here, and even contacted my family for me. We're not really in a relationship. Please trust me, Madam. Let… Let me die to express my innocence."
With that said, she abruptly stood up and acted as if she was going to throw herself at a nearby pillar and die.
A panicked Xia Yuhang reached out to stop her. The woman's petite body fell into his tight embrace and she cried even harder. "Young Master Xia, you saved me. How could I allow others to misunderstand you? I'm… I'm but a piece of duckweed floating on a pond. I don't care about being mistaken as a lady from a brothel, but… how could I ruin your reputation? I…"

After falling into the water last time, Ning Ziyan had been ignored by Xia Yuhang for more than half a year. She had sneaked into Xia Manor afterward, kneeling down in front of Xia Yuhang for six hours with lightly dressed. She fainted later so Xia Yuhang forgave her reluctantly, and he warned her not to be against the woman. Seeing Xia Yuhang's reaction, Ning Ziyan knew he treated that woman differently, but who was this woman? Ning Ziyan was hesitating. Because Ning Xueyan's words had helped her just now, Ning Ziyan had a good feeling about her. She frowned a little when she heard what Ning Xueyan said and thought it made sense. However, she couldn't make up her mind. The main purpose of Ning Ziyan's coming to Cold Mountain Temple with Ning Xueyan is to glorify her reputation. She wanted people to know she was a filial daughter. And the reason why the funeral turned into a wedding was because of her unawareness. She needed to
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 29 Dressing up as a Man, Ning Xueyan Offends Prince Yi
Ning Xueyan had a nightmare again! She lifted her quilt, smiling ruefully, and stood up. Then she walked toward the table to grab a cup of cold tea, pouring in her mouth. But she was too weak to swallow the cold water. She poured in quickly, so she had to grasp her chest for a slight cough. Although she tried to do exercise every day, it seemed that she hadn't get better. Ning Xueyan was lost in thought, standing in the front of the window. She looked at the lightful dawn with frowning. She had been at Cold Mountain Temple for half a month. Several days ago, Mother Han wrote a letter to tell her that her uncle was about to come to the capital and today was the day of his coming. Ning Xueyan never met this uncle before, but Mother Han guaranteed to her this uncle would protect her. Therefore, Ning Xueyan planned to meet this uncle today, to verify whether Mother Han told the truth. Moreover, if she didn't go to see him, her uncle would inquir
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 30 Meeting Third Prince with Soft Talking
"Move the hat away! It is an order! How dare you!" Ning Xueyan's reaction annoyed the guard. Using his sharp knife, the guard was about to kill her because nobody could do such things in front of Prince Yi. Prince Yi's arrogance was unexpected. His guard was even more arrogant than him. If the knife fell on her neck, she would die! She shunned back in panic and suddenly shouted loudly, "In command of my lord, I inquire for Prince Yi!" Ning Xueyan gritted her teeth tightly. Ghosts were difficult to deal with but it was easier to see Hades. Now that she was here, nothing could be worse. With some comeliness, Ning Xueyan's voice sounded tender like a girl, which was also alluring. So several men who were standing by the door were attracted and they came towards her. An elegant man in a white suit walked ahead. Inside the carriage with a long curtain, cold eyes fell upon Ning Xueyan's pure face at the same time. Looking carefully a
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 31 Killing Intent Flashes
Thinking about it, Ning Xueyan took a bowl to Prince Yi and said, "Your Highness, your favor will be carved on my bones." She conveyed her appreciation to Prince Yi and also admitted who she was. Prince Yi suddenly burst into laughter. He used his hand for supporting the forehead. And his fingers which were white as the jade glided over his black robe but his beautiful voice was cold as hell. "Twice!" It wasn't a question, it was an affirmative sentence. Prince Yi was telling Ning Xueyan that he had certainly helped her twice. No matter she admitted it or not, when he thought it was, then it must be. He was the boss. Would he need anyone's favor? She couldn't imagine what the favor would be, maybe it would cost her life. Ning Xueyan felt her hands, which was hidden in the sleeves, trembling and swallowed some saliva unconsciously. Prince Yi's peaceful eyesight seemingly focused on her with the treach
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 32 The Reunion of the Niece and Uncle
"Come here, sit down." The madam showed thin happiness on her face with complex emotion emerging from the bottom of her eyes. There was a little sadness in her eyes. She reached out to point at the stone chair aside asking Ning Xueyan to sit down. "Yes, thanks a lot, my aunt!" Ning Xueyan calmed down immediately from the shock. The aunt in front of her was a smart woman. She might suspect Ning Xueyan's identity already, so she tested her by words all along. Ning Xueyan was aware that her pale face and the infirm body was the defect to lead to people's suspicions of her identity. However, Ning Xueyan was short-staffed. Although her two maids were gumptious, she still needed to handle something herself. She had no choice but to disguise as a manservant using a roomy robe to cover her track. But any experienced man could tell she was a skinny sick girl. "Yan'er, he is your uncle's son, you can call him Brother Hua. Hua'er, this is your Sister Y
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 33 Emergency, Madam Dowager Arrives
Ning Xueyan was very relieved now. She took out a thick stack of letters from her arms, delivering them to Ming Feiyong. She had been out for a long time and was afraid that someone from Lord Protector's Manor would come to see her. Lanning might be unable to handle this so she had to return now. She said, "Uncle, I found these letters in my mother's secret dresser. I don't know whether or not they're useful to you so please keep them for me because they are not safe with me." The letters were brought to her recently by Mother Han's staff. They were hidden in her mother's dresser. Ning Xueyan never saw Ning Zu'an come to Bright Frost Garden to see Madam Ming when she lived there. So Madam Ming never did any decorating and the dresser was covered in dust. Mother Han and Ning Xueyan did not notice it before. However, after someone always came to check Madam Ming's things, they found something wrong there. Mother Han sent everyone away and chec
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 34 Ning Xueyan Goes to the Bamboo Forest after Dressing Up
As soon as Ning Xueyan left, Lanning went to see with concern but encountered Prince Yi's guard of honor, so she quickly knelt beside the road. Then she knew that it was Prince Yi who came, knowing that most of the monks of Cold Mountain Temples went to greet him and would not have time to take care of other guests. "I'll go to see if Master Mingyue is there or not. If he's here, I'll invite him to come over and greet you. Don't rush to pray for me, take care of yourself first. Several days later, Honored Consort Ya will come to the temple to enjoy the chrysanthemum and hold an appreciation grand meeting. Your sister, First Young Lady, has been married, and the Fourth Young Lady is not qualified. So, only you and Second Young Lady can enter the grand meeting. You have to keep a good body before the grand meeting." The Honored Consort Ya was coming to Cold Mountain Temple, so the temple had been busy recently. And, that was the reason why the
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 35 It's Said that the Third Prince is Friendly and Handsome
Ao Chenyi's smile was ruthless. He leaned backward lazily, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Tell His Majesty I said that Zuo Zhibing intended to kill me and gossiped about the royal family. His crime is unforgivable. So I killed him to warn others." His voice was cold and indifferent. It seemed that he didn't know his words had determined the lives of hundreds of people. His words also showed that he hadn't negotiated with His Majesty before killing this official. The Emperor was the supreme master of a country. But this one, Prince Yi, dared to directly kill an official without His Majesty's permission. How arrogant he was. "Yes!" The guards did not dare to say more, respectfully nodded before they left. Ao Chenyi stood up and walked to the window, coldly looking out of the window. Suddenly, it seemed that he found something fun. He smiled and said profoundly, "What a funny little thing!" His gaze fell
