Chapter 632 Scheme; The Intentions of Qiongfeng Palace's Honored Consort Xia
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 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

Her words suggested that they weren't only having an affair, but also plotting to murder the Emperor. So how could Princess Yi be nearby?Everyone was stupefied. They looked at Honored Consort Ya, then at Ning Xueyan. For a while, no one said anything.Honored Consort Xia, who had been putting up a struggle, was also dumbfounded. When she came here, Ao Chenyi was the only one she saw. That was why she was able to say such things.

The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 638 What Could It Be If Not Poison?
Honored Consort Ya was starting to panic under Ning Xueyan's sharp interrogation but she quickly harped on one key point. She said angrily, "Do tell, Princess Yi, what it could be if not poison inside this? Should we ask the physician at the Lord Guardian's Manor to examine it?" She was certain that the powder was poison, so she wasn't afraid of anyone examining it.The Madam Dowager of the Lord Guardian's Manor, who had been standing on the side, nodded at a trusted older female servant. The servant then ran out to summon the physician. It seemed that, come hell or high water, the medicine powder would be tested today. Since the matter happened at the Lord Guardian's Manor, they had no way of escaping involvement."Won't we have to ask Honored Consort Xia that? Honored Consort Ya, do you dare to remove the handkerchief in Honored Consort Xia's mouth and let her speak for herself?" Ning Xueyan asked, raising her head. Since Honored Consort Ya had attacked P
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 639 Even More People behind the Courtyard Wall
Before Honored Consort Ya left the palace, the Emperor had already warned her to detain and gag Honored Consort Xia without saying anything the moment she saw her in the Lord Guardian's Manor.

Her work would over once she accused them of secretly poisoning the Emperor as well.The rest wasn't hers to worry about; all she had to do was hold on until the Emperor's decree came.
