Ch 109: Wedding, Madam Ling’s Scheme

“What’s going on?” Madam Ling asked with a displeased cold face.

“Although Duke has the intention of pitying the First Madam, just as his old servant left, he went to Concubine Ma’s courtyard, and wholeheartedly arranged for someone to treat Concubine Ma.” Madam Chen said indignantly, “This bitch, how did she and the First Madam agree, and in the end, she and the Fifth Miss, bit the First Madam back, really a wild dog that can’t be tamed.”

“What about that bitch?” Madam Ling asked, gritting her teeth again.

Madam Chen knew that she was referring to Ning Xueyan. She pointed to the direction of Mingshuang Courtyard: “The old servant has already asked, and I heard that nothing happened to the Fifth Miss. The Old Madam also rewarded her with many things, and had the maidservants send them all to Mingshuang Courtyard. The servants all say that the Fifth Miss has won the Old Madam’s favor, and no one dares to treat her poorly anymore. In the future, she will certainly find a good marriage and marry with splendor.”

“Good marriage!” Madam Ling let out a cold snort, grinding her teeth with hatred, and Madam Chen’s words, further ignited her rage.

Ling’er’s good marriage was ruined by this little bitch, her reputation was destroyed, and she had to marry the Heir of Prince Li, that useless romantic rake.

If Ling’er didn’t marry well, could the little bitch still wish to marry well! She would definitely find her a broken-down husband, so that she would never be able to compare to Ling’er’s dirt.

“You go and secretly bring in the matchmaker who was invited by the Ping’an Duke’s Mansion last time, and say that I have something to ask.” Madam Ling’s eyes flashed with maliciousness, and in an instant, she made a decision.

Wanting to marry into a good family, wanting to marry into the Third Prince’s Mansion, how could the daughter of that bitch step on her own daughter’s head, so, she would definitely help that lowly girl find a “good family”!

“Yes, but the Old Madam…” Madam Chen hesitated and asked, she didn’t think the Old Madam would agree with the madam’s decision to set the Fifth Miss’s marriage.

“Doesn’t Ping’an Duke have a daughter who entered the palace? I heard that although her position in the palace is not high, she is very favored.” Madam Ling smiled sinisterly. The swollen forehead, matched with a cold, pale face, was eerily ferocious.

“The old servant understands, does the First Madam want to talk to the Old Madam, if the Old Madam is suppressing, the Fifth Miss, even if she doesn’t want to marry, she has to marry.”

Madam Chen reminded, with a difficult expression, before the Third Prince had an intention for the Fifth Miss, with the Fifth Miss’s identity, even if she were only to be a concubine in the Third Prince’s Mansion, it would be better than marrying Ping’an Duke, the Old Madam, who had always valued the Duke’s Mansion’s reputation, how could she agree!

“Back then, didn’t that old fellow not want me to be the Duke’s legal wife, and in the end, didn’t he have to agree!” Madam Ling smiled sinisterly, her tone malicious.

“Madam is talking about those things?” Madam Chen’s heart moved, and she lowered her voice a few more points, her expression solemn.

“With those things, even if she doesn’t want to marry that lowly girl to Ping’an Duke, she can’t help it.” Madam Ling said proudly.

“But, Madam, you… you want to give those things to Ping’an Duke?” Madam Chen was greatly shocked, and her face turned pale involuntarily, and she worriedly said, “If this is known by Ping’an Duke, how… how could it be…”

“Rest assured, this madam has her own clever plan!” Madam Ling looked towards the Xiangfu Garden, and fiercely glared, “Dead old woman, half has already entered the earth, and still tightly grasping the Duke’s Mansion’s backyard.”

Concubine Xu entered the Buddha Hall secretly in the evening, the small Buddha Hall’s light had always been on, the people inside, from time to time, merged together, and then separated, Madam Chen, who was guarding outside, cautiously watched the environment around her, but did not notice the black shadow hanging on the large tree in the courtyard.

In Mingshuang Courtyard, Lan Ning entered the room and saw Ning Xueyan leaning on the bed, reading a book seriously, and admonished: “Young lady, don’t read, it’s time to rest!”

She had already washed and groomed, her jet black long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and Prince Ao Chenyi’s pill was indeed good, and the complexion on her face had also improved, no longer the pale and bloodless appearance of before, although there was still some excessive paleness, but under the light, the originally aloof cold small face, had a few points of soft charm, even if she had not fully grown, it could already be seen that she was of unparalleled beauty.

Her long eyelashes fell in two rows of faint shadows on her jade white face, Ning Xueyan didn’t raise her head, nodded, and lightly yawned, obediently closed the book, Lan Ning took it, and placed it under her soft pillow.

“Lan Ning, you go out, I’m going to sleep!” Ning Xueyan closed her eyes, and softly said, she was also really tired.

“Yes, this servant will go out now, the tea is on the table, this servant covered it with a cotton cover, if the young lady is thirsty in the middle of the night, you can also drink.” Seeing her lying down, Lan Ning tucked in the quilt for her, and skillfully admonished.

She doesn’t like people sleeping in her room, this habit is almost the same as Ning Ziying, Lan Ning, who has served Ning Ziying, sometimes even feels that the person in front of her is Ning Ziying, otherwise, why serving Ning Xueyan, feels the same as serving Ning Ziying in the past.

But the appearance of the two people, really, doesn’t have many similarities.

Smiling bitterly and shaking her head, dispelling this unrealistic idea, she really thought too much, how could this kind of thing happen, Lan Ning blew out the lamp, and lightly and quietly retreated.

Walking outside, she let out a long sigh, Miss Ziying was already gone, in front of her was the Fifth Miss Ning Xueyan, two completely different people, how could they be the same person!

Could it be that she missed Miss Ziying too much, so she regarded the Fifth Miss as Miss Ziying!

The winter wind was strong, but the room was quiet, a foot warmer sent over by Lan Ning was stuffed at her feet, the warmth extended from her feet to her body, and even her entire body was warm, Ning Xueyan’s body had always been poor, so Lan Ning prepared the foot warmer early.

Dozing off and closing her eyes, the scene before her death seemed to appear again, her fingers subconsciously clenched tightly, the warmth under her feet seemed to fade away bit by bit, and icy coldness seeped out from her heart, that night, that night she was waiting to become a bride, but it became her last night.

She didn’t know what she touched, it was hard, soft, and still had some temperature, Ning Xueyan suddenly woke up from a daze, and before she could speak, her mouth was tightly covered by a large hand.

“Don’t make a sound!” Beside her ear was a wicked and sinister voice, very familiar, even though her head was dizzy, she could still distinguish it.

Prince Ao Chenyi, he was really a ghost that wouldn’t go away, she didn’t know what he wanted to find her for again.

Her body gradually softened, one hand reached out and pushed his hand, signaling him to let go, the dark night made it impossible to see his face, only vaguely seeing his handsome outline.

“Your Highness, looking for me, is there anything to instruct?” Perceiving Ning Xueyan’s gentleness, the large hand that was holding her mouth released her, took two powerful breaths, Ning Xueyan lowered her voice and curiously asked, this master didn’t seem to come without a reason, of course, for his irregular night intrusion into the boudoir, she could only ignore it.

“I heard that your mansion is going to marry the Ping’an Duke’s Mansion?” Ao Chenyi asked languidly, his voice tinged with a grim coldness.

“Madam Ling has this intention.” Ning Xueyan curiously turned to Ao Chenyi, not understanding what this had to do with him.

“Who are you going to marry?” Ao Chenyi’s voice sounded as if he was laughing.

“Originally, it was to marry Ning Lingyun, but now… I guess it’s to send me into the Ping’an Mansion as a concubine.” Ning Xueyan said faintly, carelessly yawning, with a trace of faint cold mockery, but then turned into a trace of shame and anger, a faint blush appeared on her face, in the dark night, her sense of touch was particularly sensitive.

That Prince, who usually didn’t play by the rules, and was decisive in killing and punishment, didn’t know why he had burrowed into her quilt, and also lay next to her, half of her body was nestled in his arms, no wonder she felt very strange.

“Don’t you plan to resist?” Ao Chenyi asked, looked at the young girl’s exquisite small face, she hadn’t seen her for a few days, and the paleness on her face had faded a lot, her crystal clear skin, immediately made her captivating to the eye, her jet black long hair, fell on the snow white pillow, even in the dark night, it had a kind of breathtaking beauty.

She was no longer the insignificant Fifth Miss of the legend, who was weak, timid, and almost died at the hands of the Second Miss of the Duke’s Mansion!

Ao Chenyi had someone investigate everything about her, and found that she had no abnormalities, it was impossible that she was not the Fifth Miss of the Duke’s Mansion, but why could a person’s personality change so much.

This seemingly weak, but in fact, ruthless little girl, was she really because of her mother’s death, so her disposition changed greatly, and became so different from before?

She was really a more and more interesting little girl!

Ping’an Duke wanted to marry this little girl, if it were her previous temperament, she would not say much, and even would not dare to say a word of resistance, but now, she had already extended her sharp claws, and it was no longer possible to be bullied, this could be seen from her using his power to point out the fact that her mother was poisoned.

“Will Your Highness help me?” Ning Xueyan took a deep breath, pushed Ao Chenyi, and imperceptibly pushed him a few points away from her.

“No! This King would rather watch you extend your own sharp claws!” Ao Chenyi didn’t get angry, and leaned in, lay flat, and said languidly.

“Then, Your Highness is specifically here to watch the show? But the good show hasn’t started yet, Your Highness came too early!” Ning Xueyan sat up, reached out to get the outer garment placed on the bedside, although that day, she pretended to be Ao Chenyi’s favored concubine, and was embraced tightly by him.

But that was in public, and she had to do it, it didn’t mean that she was willing to be embraced by him and act in private!

“No need for that much trouble, this King will leave in a moment.” A hand reached over from behind, and wrapped around her slender waist, and pulled her into his arms, “From now on, you will also play this King’s favored concubine, if you can’t even accept such contact, how can you make people believe the ‘intimate’ relationship between you!”

He looked down at her, his dark jade eyes carrying a heavy darkness, profound and cold, directly staring at Ning Xueyan’s dark jade eyes, watching the aloof coldness brought up in her slightly raised dark jade eyes, if he hadn’t guessed wrong, she had just blushed, but at this moment, she didn’t have the slightest bit of shyness, but instead seemed like a waiting little wildcat.

Enduring for many years, was to better attack!

The tender young girl in front of her, was really only fourteen years old? Step by step, whether it was before dealing with Ning Yuling, or after the competition with Madam Ling, the limited personnel, were fully utilized by her, who would have thought that under her world-toppling beauty, there was such a ruthless and decisive heart.

A young girl in a deep chamber, how could she cultivate like this!
