This topic fanned Mother Wang's anger. The children's birth charts had been proven to be a match, yet the Hua family turned back on their word and sent someone to rescind the engagement. To think that a fine young woman like her lady would have her engagement rescinded! Thinking about it now still made Mother Wang furious."The person that the Hua family sent was a domineering one who insisted on breaking the engagement. My Lord was still around then. He got so angry that he agreed to break the engagement immediately, even sending back the bridal gifts. Young Master Hua also left with the person and never appeared again. So, Young Master Hua was never my lady's fiance. Their engagement was broken some eight to ten years ago."To think that there was an incident like this! Ning Xueyan had no memory of this. All she knew was Hua Yunheng's inexplicable departure. He never showed up in her life again, so what was he doing, appearing right now?"Did

"Mistress, Liu Feng says that the eldest concubine of the Xia Manor basically doesn't leave her room. On the whole, she is in the room all day long. Only a maid waiting on her stays with her. As for her trousseau, Liu Feng looked around but did not seem to find it in her place," Xinmei entered the room and reported.Liu Feng visited Minster Xia's Manor last night and came back today.Later, Ning Xueyan thought of the fact that the trousseau was not in Ning Ziyan's place. Ning Ziyan was now the concubine of Xia Yuhang, so she had to move to another courtyard. But no matter where she moved, she was still Xia Yuan's woman, so the trousseau sent to the Xia Manor was unlikely to be moved to another place.Based on this way of thinking, the trousseau should still be in its original place. Most likely, it was in the courtyard where Ning Ziyan lived previously. Although Xia Yuhang had lowered Ning Ziyan to a concubine's status, now he did not have a wi

"Madam Ming's matter, Madam Ming... is the daughter of the minister of the previous dynasty… was married to… to the marquis and gave birth to Fifth Young Lady…" Mother Chen stuttered."Mother Chen, if you just know such things, then you'd better go back!" Ning Xueyan said with a cold smile. The black jade-like eyes were so deep that they could seem to swallow humans up. Seeing that, Mother Chen trembled and did not dare to hide anything anymore. Now she found that Fifth Young Lady was the most scaring one. "How could the people of the mansion of the past think Fifth Young Lady was the timidest one?" "Fifth Young Lady, Madam Ling has some ornaments, which were Madam Ming's in the past. It is said that they are from the palace of the previous dynasty." She gritted her teeth and knew that she had no choice but to disclose important information because Fifth Young Lady seemed not a soft-hearted person. "If I don't tell her anything useful today, it is possible

Ning Xueyan clearly knew that she was now the consort of Prince Yi's Manor. If she died of an attack, no matter whether Ao Chenyi liked her or not, he would investigate the case undoubtedly. No one could dare to confidently say that they had the ability to not let Ao Chenyi find their responsibility for the crime. If he found their responsibility, he would make a move even if he just aimed to save the reputation of Prince Yi's Manor.If he made a move, it would be possible that blood would be shed and people would die, so Ning Xueyan believed that even the emperor was afraid of Ao Chenyi. Then it was impossible for them to kill her with an attack. When thinking in this way, she found that apart from making her lose her status and ruining her reputation, they didn't seem to have a second choice.Due to this reason, it was not easy for them to destroy her because she was now the concubine of Prince Yi's Manor. When she went out in normal times,

The princess was the official wife. Surely, he married this one, but the consort was different. Although her name was also on the royal list, she was not the official wife, so how could he use the word "marry"?Commandery Princess Mu Ling knew Ning Xueyan's status. Now she could not help looking at her a little longer. Since the prince used the word "marry", he didn't seem to only treat her as his consort. Initially, she thought that the one who came out to receive her from the prince's manor would be Commandery Princess Xianyun, but she did not expect that it was Ning Xueyan, who was said to have passed out twice on her wedding day and would possibly pass away sometime in the future.As for the character of her brother, others might not know it, but she knew it. Never before had he been forced to smile a little stiffly when he only uttered a few words."Consort Ning, I'm happy to hear you like the customs and practices of Yunnan. When I came t
