The Devious First-Daughter

The carriage from Ling Shilang's mansion was brought in with a few large pieces of furniture. Although the things were not expensive, they were at least decent, and it was sent by the Shilang's mansion, which made up for the fact that Ling's natal family did not bring any dowry. , so I heard the servant's report, Mrs. Tai nodded, but didn't say anything.

Together with the carriage, Ling Shilang's wife, Qian Shi, and her son Ling Yi, since the last time there was a dispute at the Huguohou's Mansion, this is the first time Qian Shi and her son have come to visit, and they are always visited by their mother's family However, Mrs. Tai couldn't do too much. She asked people to prepare melons, fruits and snacks and sent them to Mingxia Garden.

After Ling Yi came, he didn't stay in the inner courtyard, but went outside to look for Ning Huaiyuan. The carriage that brought the furniture was parked outside the second gate. Because they couldn't enter the courtyard, they asked people to move in. There are not many people in Yunxia courtyard , Let the two women guarding the second gate also help.

It is always the heart of the Minister's House. Although Mrs. Tai is dissatisfied with Ling's actions, but Ling is not alone now, and the general favor is still to be given, so she invited Qian to have a conversation .

At the second gate, people moving things in and out, it seems very lively, but there is no one who is really guarding the gate. Chen Nanny came out from the gate, and first stood at the gate to help everyone drink a few times, let the maid, the mother-in-law When lifting the seat, he calmed down a little, and then walked to a carriage that had been emptied before, nodded secretly to the coachman sitting on it, and pointed to the front.

The coachman understood, and drove the carriage away from the second gate, followed the secret recipe pointed by Nanny Chen, and went to another courtyard in front.

No one noticed that at the second door, a little girl who had been watching Mother Chen put down the stool she was carrying, looked left and right, and followed carefully.

In another place, a woman who was cleaning the corner of a table of the Eight Immortals saw that no one was paying attention, and walked down another road. If she went down that road, she would inevitably collide with a carriage in the end. The head of the carriage went.

Nanny Chen didn't expect so many people to pay attention to this carriage, she guided the coachman to turn two corners and came to a quiet courtyard. The purpose is to provide a resting place for those male guests who visit the Marquis of Huguo's Mansion.

The Ling family manages the inner courtyard, and they are women, so they rarely come to the front in general, let alone a girl like Ning Xueyan, it is impossible to appear in the courtyard where men are haunted, so Ning Xueyan Yan searched all over the inner courtyard, even the Mingshuang courtyard and Ling's private treasury several times, but found nothing unusual.

But it turned out that Ling had put all these ledgers in the outer courtyard, the place where outsiders were treated.

This is also a wonderful move by Ling Shi, so if Ning Xueyan sent a maid to mention it, she could hardly remember it, but now that she remembered it, she knew that Ning Xueyan was difficult to deal with, and if she felt sorry for those belongings, All he wanted was to get the property from Ning Xueyan again.

These ledgers immediately became very important, and because of this, they felt that hiding in the mansion would not be safe after all, and they would be found by Ning Xueyan, so the best way was to hide them in her natal home. It is impossible to go to my mother's house and find these things.

Therefore, Ling couldn't wait to ask Ling Shilang's family to take the opportunity of giving him furniture to transport the things away.

The carriage stopped, and Nanny Chen led the coachman into the first room on the left. After a while, two people brought out a big box with a seal on it. They left out of breath, and the two of them took a lot of effort to lift the box onto the carriage.

Seeing that the carriage turned a corner in the yard and left, Nanny Chen breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her brow, and relaxed her heart. It was always what the lady told her, and nothing went wrong.

Following the carriage, she walked to the gate of the courtyard, and was about to leave when she suddenly heard a soft voice coming from the left. Nanny Chen couldn't help but look over, and saw the corner of the clothes flashing past the corner of the wall. Stepping forward, she frowned when she saw the maid walking by pretending to be nonchalant on the road outside.

"Which yard are you from? Why are you here?" Nanny Chen was Ling's confidant, of course she was not polite, she stepped forward to stop the maid and asked.

"Slave... Numaid is the maid in the courtyard of the third girl. I saw someone sneaking past in front of me just now, so I stared at the person in front." The maid looked smart at first glance, although she was a little startled at first, But then he explained wittily immediately, and pointed to the back of the tree in front to increase the credibility.

Grandma Chen saw that she was so angry that her chest was stuffy. There was really someone there, and it was a woman who looked familiar. Seeing that there was an accident here, she just happened to turn around and look around. Between descriptions, the more she looked, she felt sneaky. .

However, fortunately, there is no fifth girl here, otherwise it would be strange if the eldest lady didn't pick her skin. Thinking of this, Nanny Chen only felt cold in her vest, and scolded the maid angrily: "Don't go to work, go everywhere! Wandering around, do you want the eldest lady to know?"

"Yes... yes, servant girl will leave now." The maid didn't dare to say more, and hurried back towards the inner courtyard.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the old woman slid off to the road ahead, even though she wanted to scream, she couldn't. Fortunately, Nanny Chen knew this old woman, she was obviously from Aunt Xu's house. After all kinds of unsatisfactory things happened to Madam, these people turned upside down, they dared to stare at themselves, they must go back and tell Madam.

Although it is not clear whether they have seen her moving the account book, she is always careful. Chen Nanny decided to tell the third girl and Aunt Xu that they saw her moving the box, and tell the lady to listen, so as not to If something happened in the future, I blamed myself. After thinking about it, I stopped hesitating and hurried to the Yunxia courtyard in the backyard.

After she walked away, Xinmei came out from another corner, raised the corner of her lips, and showed a mocking smile. It was she who deliberately made a sound to draw Chen Nanny's attention to the maid, as expected. The girl expected that the maids around the third girl were all clever, and when they heard of a problem, they would arrest their companions first, and Aunt Xu's mother-in-law would definitely be pulled out as well.

Ling's heard from Ning Qingshan and Aunt Xu's people that she secretly moved the account book, she was so angry that she almost asked someone to come over and reprimand her. He gritted his teeth and stopped, but his son kept telling himself not to act in vain.

For now, she really can't move in vain easily.

Besides, even if they saw the moving things, at most they thought they were secretly transporting some private property to their natal family, and they never thought that these were the ledgers that Ning Xueyan needed.

Therefore, even though Ling's suspicion and anger towards Ning Qingshan and Aunt Xu were a little bit more, it was difficult to vent their anger for a while, and everything was focused on the overall situation of the Huguohou Mansion.

On the night of the New Year's Eve, Ning Xueyan and Ning Qing fan, Ning Lingyun left first, after all, they are all young girls, and they happened to go to see the lantern together. The meaning of the wife is of course to let their sisters get closer, Ning Qing Shan had been in the nunnery before, and Ning Xueyan was confined in Mingshuangyuan, and the relationship between the three of them was not warm before.

Taking this opportunity to integrate their sisterhood is also the need of Mrs. Tai to consolidate her own power, so Ning Qingshan proposed it, and she agreed cheerfully.

The three girls each went back to the yard to redress. Ning Xueyan's dress was still mainly light-colored, with a snow-white coat with silver trim, a light blue double-breasted outer cover, and a peacock blue long skirt of the same color as her lower body. There are flowers scattered underneath, the fine ones are like the waves rolling on the sea, or like the tail feathers of peacocks, the luster is faint, but not ostentatious.

Against that little face that is whiter than ordinary people, it is as delicate as jade.

Ning Lingyun's clothing is more gorgeous, bright red, with watery green, is also very attractive.

Ning Qingshan's light yellow clothes were plain and elegant, coupled with her beautiful and gentle face, she had a magnanimous and dignified temperament.

The three of them got into the same carriage together. Anyway, they were going to watch the lanterns for a while, so they had to walk. Today was originally a day for watching the lanterns and a dragon boat race. Even the car couldn’t stop when they got there late. I booked a private room in a restaurant by the river, and they could go there when they got tired of looking at the lights.

The dragon boat race was a little later than the lanterns, so it happened to be in time.

The carriage stopped at a busy intersection, and it was impossible to pass any further. From a distance, there were crowds of people, and the sky was just getting dark. It was just the beginning of the Chinese lanterns. Lanterns could be seen everywhere, with different shapes and colorful colors.

"Fourth Sister, Fifth Sister, let's get out of the car here and take a walk, okay?" Ning Qing raised the curtain and looked outside, and said in a condescending tone.

Originally, it was not possible to enjoy the lanterns in the carriage. Although Ning Xueyan's predecessor had also enjoyed the lanterns, it was the first time for this person to enjoy the lanterns. Even better, so even Ning Xueyan was a little more interested.

"Okay, third sister, fourth sister, let's go down and walk together." Ning Xueyan nodded.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Ning Lingyun nodded of course, and obediently followed them and got out of the car. Now that she has been at the mercy of them again and again, she dares to show her edge, be careful and keep a low profile, lest the two people notice her , I don't even know how to die by then.

Her aunt had repeatedly told her not to confront Ning Qingshan and Ning Xueyan, neither of which was easy to get along with.

They just got out of the carriage on this side, but unexpectedly, the master on the tall building opposite was startled. On the couch by the window, Xie Mei was leaning on the couch, wearing a luxurious brocade robe embroidered with manjusawa in black, softly intertwined. The broad side of the gold thread, and the slender fingers with jade fingers, are falling on the thin and bright red lips.

The deep eyes, with a dark and bloodthirsty air that is difficult to suppress, reveal a strange elegance in their splendor, just like the dark flowers of the other side that bloom in the underworld embroidered on his robe, even though they are as elegant as manjusawa The name, still can not change its nature from the depths of darkness, supplemented by blood.

"My king's Ai Ji is here, let her come over later, I want to enjoy the lantern with Ai Ji." The corner of his handsome lips curled up, and the other hand stretched out, gently stroked it on the hand The jade plate finger, said lazily and as a matter of course.

"Yes!" Even though he knew how unreasonable these words were, the guards behind him still nodded respectfully.

The prince's words are not the most reasonable, only more reasonable.
