Since it had come to this, no one there had any reason to stay. Ning Xueyan also returned to Bright Frost Garden with her people. Now it was tranquil in the courtyard. Madam Dowager asked those from Bright Frost Garden to pick themselves up now that Madam Ling was ill, and she suppressed those who seemed to always suck up to Madam Ling. After recovering, Madam Ling also tried to take the opportunity to do something but was held back by Mother Han, who had always come up with some ideas to handle her. That was why Madam Ling hated Mother Han so much and dragged her into the mire. Back in the courtyard, Lanning and Qingyu were sorting Ning Xueyan's items, while Mother Han come to talk to Ning Xueyan after packing her own things. "Young Lady. The First Madam and the Second Young Lady paid the price this time. Now that this has happened, the Second Young Lady would not be the principal wife even if she were married into Commandery Prince Li's Ma

"Xia Yuhang... do you know? I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!" In the gap between the trees, Ning Xueyan saw Xia Yuhang, who wore a long snow-white robe, standing in front of the door with his hands clasped behind his back. Xia Yuhang, a graceful gentleman, should not be wearing such plain coarse clothes. However, he stood there at this time in these clothes and slightly frowned, showing a sense of loneliness. Xia Yuhang, who had always been elegant and outstanding, had lonely days too! Ning Xueyan smiled coldly. The love between her and Xia Yuhang had already disappeared! That kind of deep attachment, with the drainage of her blood, had long become a cold and cruel edge, bruising her all over. How much Ning Xueyan had loved him before, and how much she hated him now! She saw his hypocrisy at the cost of her life. After rebirth, Ning Xueyan did not shed a single tear for him. With s

Lanning nodded and expressed her doubts. "Most of the things Mother Wang told me happened after Young Lady Ziying was three or four years old. It seemed that she had never mentioned those things that happened when Young Lady Ziying was younger. I felt strange at that time. She was Young Lady Ziying's wet nurse, how could she not know about Young Lady Ziying's childhood?" These words made Ning Xueyan silent for a while. In Ning Xueyan's memory, Mother Wang began to take care of her when she was a child. And Xiang'er was the personal maid her mother gave her when she was eight years old. Ning Xueyan could not recall her childhood clearly; after all, she was a child at that time, but Mother Wang was an adult. "How do you know that Mother Wang didn't know about what happened during Ning Ziying's childhood?" "I once asked about the burn mark on Young Lady Ziying's ankle. Mother Wang told me that Young Lady Ziying was s

Hearing what Ling Yi said, Mother Chen smiled happily. She took the money that Ling Yi handed her and nodded vigorously. "Yes. Childe Ling, you may rest assured. I promise your wish will come true." Of course Mother Chen was happy. She not only completed what the First Madam had ordered, but also received a reward. Looking in the direction Ning Xueyan was leaving, Mother Chen praised the First Madam's wonderful foresight in her mind. Unlike the Second Young Lady, Ning Xueyan would not be protected by anyone if a scandal happened to her. At that time, she only would become someone's concubine. Furthermore, the Hostess of Vice Minister of Justice's Manor was not kind-hearted. Any woman who Ling Yi did not like anymore would be beaten to death or sold to the red-light district by the hostess. Thinking of this, Mother Chen felt proud inwardly and quietly left to arrange the next matter. Ning Xueyan walked around the garden with Nin

"Young Lady, Young Lady, we wouldn't dare! No guards came in. They're all outside." An older female servant hurried to say, even wanting to swear that they had not asked the guards to come in. "Did they really not come in?" Ning Xueyan seemed to relax, but she still looked out and asked incredulously. "Yes, yes, they really didn't come in. Fifth Young Lady, your hands have been injured by the scissors. They need to be treated first." Seeing that the situation had eased, the older female servant nodded her head vigorously to show her sincerity. On hearing that there was no guard coming in, Ning Xueyan relaxed her hold and the scissors were carefully taken away from her by Qingyu. On the other side, Lanning was finding supplies and medicine to cure Ning Xueyan's hands. There was a faint bloody smell in the room. "Since you want to search the room, just hurry up. Our Young Lady's hands are injured. I'll go ask for some medicine fr
