Chapter 227: The Greenhouse In The Flower Garden…

Ao Xian, the Heir of Prince Li, and Ning Lingyun walked together, but today Ao Xian was especially well-mannered. After exchanging a few words with Ning Lingyun, he left her side and followed Ao Mingyu. His goal today was to fawn on Ao Mingyu. It was rare to have such an opportunity with no one else around, so of course, he had to seize the opportunity.

But Ao Mingyu was with Third Young Lady Ning now, and he couldn’t get too close, so he just followed from a distance.

Regarding this Third Young Lady Ning, who had a great reputation, he didn’t dare to look closely and freely. It seemed she was an extremely beautiful young lady, far more beautiful than Ning Lingyun, but he also knew that this was not something he could have, so he obediently followed behind them.

He only dared to have evil thoughts in his heart. If he had known the Duke’s Mansion had such a beautiful young lady, he should have directly proposed marriage to Ning Zuan and married her. Such a beautiful young lady, maybe she would be his now.

Thinking of the excitement, he almost lost his composure, his gaze fell on the back of Ning Qing’s back, and there were a few points of lustfulness!

Seeing Ao Xian, dodging and hiding, following behind the Third Prince and Ning Qingshan, the focus of his gaze shifted from the Third Prince to Ning Qingshan, and the evil light flickered in his eyes. It was obvious at a glance that his intentions were not right. Ning Lingyun gritted her teeth in anger. Although she now looked down on Ao Xian, it didn’t mean that Ao Xian could reveal such a vulgar appearance in front of her.

But after careful thought, she let out a long sigh and relaxed.

Ao Xian’s behavior only had benefits for her, not harms. Anyway, when the matter was exposed later, she would no longer have any relationship with him. After this matter faded for a while, the Third Prince would come to the Mansion to propose marriage, and she would inevitably have the status of a concubine, and the fault of the divorce would not be on her, and no one would blame her.

“Fourth Sister.” Ning Xueyan walked out from behind a cluster of flowers, smiling gently, her voice soft and elegant.

“Fifth Younger Sister!” Hearing Ning Xueyan’s voice, Ning Lingyun immediately became vigilant, immediately retracted her gaze from Ao Xian in the distance, turned carefully and smiled at Ning Xueyan.

Ning Xueyan was too shrewd, she couldn’t let her discover anything.

“Fourth Sister, do you want to go over there and rest for a while, and sit down?” Ning Xueyan pointed to a flower arbor not far away. There were two swing sets there, not very high, but suitable for resting. The swing sets were also entwined with some flower branches, which were not only beautiful, but also pleasing to the eye.

“Okay, let’s go together.” Ning Lingyun looked over there and nodded.

She was the same as Ning Qingshan now. On the surface, she must maintain a good relationship with Ning Xueyan, so she would agree with whatever Ning Xueyan said. When the matter came out later, she could push the blame completely.

Ning Xueyan went first, and Ning Lingyun followed. Xinmei was originally following behind Ning Xueyan, but Ning Lingyun, although a concubine-born daughter, was still a master, so she specially gave way and let Ning Lingyun go first. She and the maidservant followed behind. The four of them came to the swing set.

Ning Xueyan and Ning Lingyun each found a flower arbor and sat down. The two of them chatted about the flowers in the garden. Xia Yudong waited on the sidelines for a while, but did not wait for an opportunity to be alone with Ning Xueyan, and could only leave. Otherwise, he, a man, would always stay behind the two young ladies, which would arouse suspicion.

Originally, he also wanted to have a chance encounter with Ning Xueyan, and then leave a good impression on Ning Xueyan. But now it seemed there was no chance. Fortunately, Xia Yudong believed that the impression he had left on Ning Xueyan before was not bad. If it didn’t work, he wouldn’t need to look for opportunities anymore. Anyway, the following drama should be enough for a woman who had a good impression of him to be devoted to him.

So Xia Yudong didn’t come over to Ning Lingyun and Ning Xueyan. He only walked past them, and with a graceful and polite gesture, he cupped his hands towards the two of them, his smile gentle and refined, looking like a fine young master in a chaotic world. Ning Lingyun’s complexion turned red, and she looked shy and charming.

Ning Xueyan’s eyes shifted slightly, and the smile at the corner of her mouth turned cold. After the love scam in her previous life, she really found it hard to believe men again, not to mention Xia Yudong, who was so similar to Xia Yuhang. Now, not to mention that Xia Yudong was after all inferior to Xia Yuhang by a few points, even if Xia Yuhang stood in front of her, she could tell whether he was sincere or not.

She was now basically certain that Ning Qingshan wanted to use Xia Yudong and Ao Xian to plot against her! Afraid that she wouldn’t die, she even found two people. One should be used to get her into the game now, and the other seemed to be planning a long-term trap. The two complemented each other. No matter who succeeded, her end would inevitably be miserable.

The greenhouse in the flower garden, it was where everyone spent the longest time. A group of people appreciated it to their heart’s content. On such a day, seeing such lovely flowers, how rare it was, especially for young women, they loved flowers even more. Even Ning Qingshan couldn’t help but pick a flower and put it in her temple, the bright red flower, reflected her lovely face, and was exceptionally beautiful.

Even the Third Prince couldn’t help but look at her a few more times, and even more, she felt her heartbeat quicken, and she became more and more lovely and charming, her style was captivating.

A group of people went out of the greenhouse and went to the hall to have lunch.

The number of people was not many, and most of them had some relationship, so they did not use a screen to separate them, only set up a table, and everyone sat together.

Before the meal, the Third Prince specially had a fresh deer killed, selected the most tender parts to roast a few pieces of deer meat, and also gave the deer blood to the male guests. It was popular in the Capital City at this time to kill deer and drink blood, and deer blood was also very good for men. Drinking it in the winter would not only be warm, but also nourishing.

Of course, the young ladies didn’t have it, and they didn’t dare to look much at this kind of fresh blood being served!

The Third Prince took the lead and drank a small cup of deer blood, and the other few people all finished drinking and put down their cups. Such a small cup of deer blood was not much, it was good for a man’s body, but it wouldn’t cause too many other reactions, a small cup was just right.

After the deer blood was drunk, the small cups went down. The few people were chatting and laughing. In the meantime, Ao Xian went out to change clothes. The boy servant took him to the back. After taking him to the place, Ao Xian told the boy servant to go back first. After he changed clothes and came out, he strolled around the garden casually, and was still thinking about Ning Lingyun’s invitation to him to go over at noon earlier, and he felt great.

He was originally a romantic rake. Before, he had been engaged to Ning Lingyun, and he was very unhappy about the fact that they were engaged, but could not get close to her. He didn’t expect to have such an opportunity today, and the beauty took the initiative to invite him. How could he give up? He specially sent the boy servant away, and stayed to look at the terrain, and how to go to the flower garden later.

That’s right, the place where Ning Lingyun had agreed to meet him was the flower garden, of course, if there were any changes, Ning Lingyun would also tell him.

Ning Lingyun was also smart about this, and didn’t fix the location. Ning Xueyan was so intelligent. If she found something wrong, she would definitely not go to the flower garden again.

“Young Master.” A maidservant suddenly flashed out from not far away, looked left and right to make sure no one was around, and respectfully walked in front of Ao Xian.

This was Ning Lingyun’s maidservant, Ao Xian had seen her before beside Ning Lingyun, and the attire of the Duke’s Mansion’s maidservants was originally different from those in the Third Prince’s separate courtyard, even though Ao Xian was now a little tipsy, he could still recognize her clearly.

“Why, are you mistress in such a hurry, and want me to go over?” Seeing that this maidservant was quite pretty, Ao Xian lightly raised the maidservant’s jaw, and said with pleasure. He was still thinking about Ya Changqing snatching the courtesan. He didn’t expect that not long after, he would also be blessed with such a beautiful experience.

At this moment, he didn’t regard Ning Lingyun as his fiancée at all, but positioned her as a frivolous woman. Such a cheap advantage he would not give up. Moreover, the maidservant in front of him was also pretty. When Ning Lingyun married over in the future, this maidservant would also be his. A surge of heat rose in his heart, and there was a hint of lust in his eyes as he looked at the maidservant.

“Young Master, the young lady is afraid that you won’t be able to find her later, so she specially asked the servant to bring this to you.” The maidservant was so teased by him that her face turned red and she was both shy and anxious. With a blushing face, she took out a sachet from her arms and handed it to Ao Xian.

Ao Xian picked up the sachet and flipped it over. A faint fragrance came out from inside, which made the heat in his heart surge even more. He rubbed his fingers on the maidservant’s fair and tender face and said happily, “Good, good, this Young Master will wear it now, and let your young lady rest assured, this Young Master will definitely find her later.”

Later, when he got Ning Lingyun, this maidservant would also be his, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

“This servant bids farewell.” The maidservant, her face red, hastily bowed and ran to the other side.

Ao Xian didn’t care either. Originally, this kind of thing should of course be avoided. He didn’t expect Ning Lingyun, who usually looked so steady, would also do secret meeting things. But it was a cheap advantage for him. He casually hung the sachet on his waist. There was already a sachet there, and it would be no problem to hang another one.

Normally, when Ao Xian was in the flower and willow alleys, he had sent out many of these, and would give one out to every woman he liked. He of course would not check the sachet. And of course, he also didn’t know that at the bottom of the sachet, there were two words embroidered, not “Lingyun”, but “Xueyan”.

After all, men and women should be separate. The lunchtime passed quickly. The Third Prince prepared separate rooms for men and women. There was a wall separating them, but they were not far apart. After the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and were going to rest for an hour before playing again.

There were many rooms for resting here for the Third Prince. The people who came today were not many, so they each had a room, which was comfortable and convenient.

Ao Xian hadn’t lain down in the room for long, and really couldn’t lie down anymore. He tossed and turned and couldn’t fall asleep. As soon as he thought that he could embrace the beauty soon, he couldn’t calm down. He tossed and turned, and he felt as if he was an ant on a hot pot, only feeling his whole body was hot and difficult to bear, and his mind was full of what it was like to be with those women on normal days.

His face was red, his heart was beating fast, how could he really rest? He had agreed to meet with Ning Lingyun in half an hour, and it was still early at this time. But he couldn’t sleep no matter what, so he had to get up and sit. After thinking about it, he felt that for this kind of secret meeting with a beauty, he, as a man, should not let the beauty wait.

Since he couldn’t sleep, he might as well go over and wait first, and it wouldn’t matter if he had to wait half an hour more.

At once, he had the boy servant serve him, and quietly went out of the garden, and sneaked towards the greenhouse flower garden. At this time, he was all excited and wanted to find a woman to relax.

Because the master and the guests were all resting, the courtyard was very quiet. He didn’t meet anyone all the way here, and smoothly entered the door of the flower garden. He was about to go in, when suddenly, his eye caught sight of a familiar figure. Ao Xian couldn’t help but stop his footsteps, and was extremely surprised, how could she be here!

How is that possible!
