Chapter 628 The Most Irresponsible Marriage Agreement
It was none other than Hua Qiuying!
When Ning Xueyan saw Hua Qiuying with her maid, she became certain that Hua Qiuying and Heng Yuwan showed up here one after another for a reason. They must be connected. After all, Hua Qiuying mentioned the birthday banquet at the Lord Guardian's Manor in her letter to Commandery Princess Xianyun.
Hua Qiuying peered into the shop before entering through the door. This time, Heng Yuqing waited outside for a moment and then followed suit with her maid. Ning Xueyan, in her seat upstairs, could no longer see any of them.
Lanning was also looking out of the window, following her master's line of sight. They couldn't see them anymore. She thought for a moment before turning to Ning Xueyan. "Young Lady, will Eldest Young Lady Heng be fine?"
"She'll be fine. Well, at most, they'll be uncomfortable to see her. Heng Yuwan and Hua Qiuying wouldn't do anything excessive in public. Besides, when we were shopp

Wen Xueran stopped at the door and said, without turning around, "If… you're in trouble in the future, you can come to Annan and look for me." Only then did he leave.He knew very well that they would have nearly no chance of meeting again after this meeting. He never took their so-called marriage agreement seriously in the past, for he never lacked women around him. Even the most cold-hearted women would show a shy, timid smile after meeting him.Yet, right now, all he wanted was for the woman behind him to leave with him. He wouldn't demand anything of her anymore.He had been mistaken from the very beginning. He thought it wouldn't matter even if she married Prince Yi, that she would follow him without hesitation after learning about her identity. He thought she was just a secret chess piece that he placed in Prince Yi's Manor.Ao Chenyi was never a gentleman, and her health was so frail. Even if she would eventually grow up and

Ao Chenyi watched how Ning Xueyan put up a strong front and how she was unable to say anything despite feeling awkward and peeved under his oppression. He stared at her red face as he pinned her underneath until he started to chuckle in a superb mood. He shifted his body sideways, his handsome eyes carrying a trace of affection.Of course, he could see that his little wild cat was being bashful, so bashful that her face was fiery red. Her little face was as red as the clouds at sunset, making her pale face look more lively than usual. Affection rippled through his heart, and he pulled her to his side, hugging her close."The Feudal Prince of Annan's rebellion has been in the works for a long time. The three princes of Annan were forced to surrender back then, and my father only accepted them because their territory is close to the border and intersects with the nine barbarian states and they're the kind to use their fists rather than words. The nine barbari
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 631 The Cause and Effect of the Thrice-Married Woman
It didn't make much for a wise person to understand the Emperor's feelings about Ao Chenyi. Ning Xueyan heard, way back when she was in the Lord Protector's Manor, that the Emperor was in poor health, a stark contrast to Ao Chenyi's youthful vigor. This was plenty of reason for him, especially when Ao Mingyu and Ao Mingwan weren't worthy opponents for Ao Chenyi.These factors made it very likely for the Emperor to use this opportunity to attack Ao Chenyi.The rebellion of the Feudal Prince of Annan would soon plunge the nation into chaos, allowing him to take advantage of the crisis for personal gain. If an incident were to break out during this time, it would be easier for him to deal with Ao Chenyi than in peaceful times."It's all right. He can't do anything to me." Ao Chenyi patted Ning Xueyan's head. He could see the panic in her eyes. With a languid laugh, he added, "He still doesn't know about Annan's rebellion, but I already do. While h

Hua Yueying was the mantis who believed she could control any man, but what about the oriole? An idea sparked in Ning Xueyan's mind as she recalled his words earlier..."Don't worry. I'll be careful." She laughed. Her vibrant eyes blinked and she asked, "When will the news of the Annan rebellion reach the capital?""In about three days," he replied lazily, giving her a sidelong glance."Three days is plenty of time. In three days, it'll be the birthday banquet of the Madam Dowager of the Lord Guardian's Manor. I have to prepare a gift for her." She sat up in one smooth movement. She had yet to pick a suitable gift. She couldn't afford to lose momentum as Heng Yuqing's close friend and a representative of Prince Yi's Manor.She wasn't planning to impress everyone, but her gift must be better than the rest."I have chosen the gift. Tell Xinmei to get it from Yu Jian later." Ao Chenyi wasn't going to let her go. He grabbe
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 633 The Attention of Madam Dowager of the Lord Guardian's Manor
The banquet at the Lord Guardian's Manor was a bustling affair for two reasons: the status of the manor as well as the identity of the Madam Dowager herself. She was a female hero that was more respected than her counterpart in the Lord Protector's Manor. That was why she was able to receive everyone's approval even after so many years.Ning Xueyan left for the Lord Guardian's Manor herself as Ao Chenyi had to stop by the palace first. Her timing was just right; she was neither early nor late when she arrived. One carriage after another entered the gate of the Lord Guardian's Manor. Twenty servants—ten older female servants and ten young servants—stood at the gate to receive guests.The sharp-eyed servants immediately noticed the carriage from Prince Yi's Manor. A clever older female servant went up to the carriage at once. No ordinary family would arrive with such a lavish carriage, never mind the handful of imperial guards standing beside it. The servant
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 634 Unspeakable "Misunderstanding"
"Second Sister, go and entertain the other guests. You can leave Princess Yi to me," Heng Yuqing said, smiling at Heng Yuwan.The side hall might be quiet, but there were still a handful of people, mostly young ladies and madams. The guests were young, however, and couldn't sit still. Most had likely gone on a stroll in the garden."Mother told me to keep Princess Yi company. How can I leave? Don't worry, Elder Sister. I'll just be listening. I won't disturb you both."Heng Yuwan spoke with a neutral expression and sat down on one of the chairs, looking like she wouldn't be budging. Mrs. Lord Guardian had indeed said so, but Heng Yuwan's words made people uneasy. Bringing it up at a moment like this made it seem like Ning Xueyan and Heng Yuqing were bullying her and chasing her away.Ning Xueyan sat down on a chair, her brilliant eyes sweeping past Heng Yuwan's face, and said nothing. If she hadn't seen it, she would have thought H
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 635 A Heartbroken Honored Consort Xia Vents Her Feelings in Weiran Pavilion
Weiran Pavilion was located near a courtyard, about a dozen of steps away from its gate. There was a small rockery near the corner of the gate. From where Honored Consort Xia was standing, she could see Ao Chenyi standing there alone with his hands behind his back, staring at the courtyard.Her two palace maids stood still, not moving an inch, and watched her walk up to Ao Chenyi step by step. She stopped inside the pavilion and stared at the figure. Taking off her face veil, she asked in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, can you… can you still recognize… Hua Yueying?"She believed that he would be pleasantly surprised to hear her name.The man with the most handsome face she had ever seen slowly turned around, with a gaze so cold that he resembled a Demon King treading through the bloody hell. His icy gaze fell on her face as he looked at her like she was a lifeless object.Honored Consort Xia staggered, taking back her outstretc
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 636 Irrefutable Facts and Evidence
Honored Consort Ya's carriage entered the Lord Guardian's Manor right after Prince Yi's carriage. One could assume that she was deliberately tailing him. The Emperor had sent her here to keep an eye on him and Honored Consort Xia. He said that Honored Consort Xia, apparently Prince Yi's spy, might pass him a message at the manor.Honored Consort Ya had always been wary of Honored Consort Xia. On the day she, Honored Consort Shu, and the Empress questioned Honored Consort Xia, the latter kept her veil on even in front of the Empress. This made them feel provoked.However, she had already received the Emperor's order. She couldn't very well bring up the incident again.Honored Consort Xia was able to keep her veil on, revealing only a pair of eyes, in front of the Empress. She also enjoyed the Emperor's protection. Truth to be told, Honored Consort Ya was jealous of her.Thus, the Emperor's order to visit the Lord Guardian's Manor an
