It grew dark. The maid lowered her head and walked hurriedly through the courtyard door. She was from the other manor but nobody had seen her. She looked around, then went straight towards the candle lit room. Knocking lightly on the door, she heard a voice from inside, "Who is it? Please come in." The maid saw no one around, so she entered and closed the door. From the shadows outlined at the window, it showed two persons talking and delivering something. After a while, the door reopened. Again, the maid looked around furtively, making sure there was no one around, then walked out and closed the door. Suddenly a scream came from nowhere just as she was about to leave. The sound frightened the maids and older female servants who were working in the courtyard. They raised their heads in confusion, looking around for the source of the scream. They wondered who could be making a sound like that. However, an older female servant, who was standing under the ro

They showed up in front of the noble madams with tears and much noise. The Madams already knew what had happened. Consort Dowager of Commandery Prince Li, who liked Ning Yuling a lot before, talked with the other madams, while holding a leopard cat in her arms. She just heard that Ning Yuling had hit her baby grandson. She was immediately unhappy. Princely Heir was her beloved grandson who grew up by her side. Even Commandery Prince Li would be punished if he touched him, let alone a stranger. Let alone a strange woman. She knew everything about her grandson. She understood that she had overindulged him. This made him naughty. It was said that Second Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor was vixenish so she was satisfied and hoped that maybe Ning Yuling could change her grandson. It would comfort her and her son wouldn't say that she spoiled her grandson too much. Ning Yuling was a beauty from a good family, so she was satisfied

"The Chrysanthemum Party is held by Honored Consort Ya. How did the lecher come in easily?" "Nobody can take the blame if he bothered Honored Consort Ya." While talking, the guards took a man over. Although he lowered his head and couldn't be seen clearly, it could be told from his body that he was a man. He was in an ordinary dress instead of fineries, but he wasn't a servant. A lot of things happened during the party. The earlier thing wasn't handled yet, now this man came from nowhere. Honored Consort Ya's face became darker and darker. The persons here were all from noble families with honorable statuses. She wasn't able to take the blame if bad things occurred. Honored Consort Ya stood up suddenly and said with great anger, "How dare you sneak here. Take him out and flog him hard 50 times." It would kill him after taking 50 times of flogging. Although he was young and strong, he couldn't take it. Two guards w

"Young Lady, Young Lady, you can't do that... If Second Madam knew it, she would have been sad." The voice of a maid came out of the room, accompanied by the sound of something falling. Under the corridor stood a maid who stunningly saw Madam Dowager coming with anger. The medicine pot in her hand was still steaming. It seemed that she had just decocted the medicine and was about to bring it to Ning Xueyan. "Madam Dowager, you... come and see our Young Lady." Qingyu seemed to see the savior when she saw Madam Dowager. She rushed to Madam Dowager, forgetting to put down the hot medicine pot in her hands. "What's wrong with her?" Madam Dowager asked impatiently. Originally, she came here with anger to denounce Ning Xueyan and became unhappier when she found that it was in a mess here. "Our Young Lady..." Before Qingyu finished her words, a sudden cry followed by a loud sound came out of the room, which made Qingyu a

Although several young men and women became couples after the chrysanthemum appreciation grand meeting held by Honored Consort Ya, it was unexpected that neither of the two most important princes found a good match. The reasons why they didn't find a match were that Ning Yuling had an accident and the Fourth Prince was absent on business. Although the chrysanthemum appreciation grand meeting was over, the Honored Consort Ya didn't leave, so those madams couldn't leave first. Early in the morning, Ning Xueyan went to greet Madam Dowager. Madam Dowager had already got up. She heard that Ning Xueyan had come and asked her to come in. Before they chatted for a longer time, Madam Dowager received an invitation from the Honored Consort Ya. Something big happened yesterday and the two families hadn't sat down to have a good talk. So Honored Consort Ya invited Madam Dowager to have a talk. Ning Yuling's scandal apparently brought shame
