Since they were going to put on a show, they had to go all the way. How could the people around the esteemed guest be mediocre? If they were not careful, they might end up making a fool of themselves …
"Yo, Fifth Sister, you're finally willing to come out!"
Seeing Ning Xueyan come out, Ning Lingyun couldn't help but mock her. This was the first time Ning Lingyun had spoken to Ning Xueyan today.
Although she was a concubine's daughter, she was beautiful and had always felt that she was not inferior to the others!
It was just that they were lucky enough to be born in the belly of First Madame, while she was unlucky enough to have a mother who was a concubine. She was born a head shorter than them.
Ning Ziyan and her sister were born by Madam Ling, and Madam Ling was the Lord Protector's Manor's first madam. Killing her was as easy as killing an ant, so she didn't dare to be unreasonable.
In the past, she often bullied Ning Xueyan with Madam Ling's Second Young Lady Ning Yuling. She felt that she was much nobler than Ning Xueyan.
Seeing that Ning Xueyan had gone to rest, while she was left to guard the coffin, she was enraged. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and said harshly.
"Fourth Sister, you can leave if you don't want to." She didn't want to pay any attention to Ning Lingyun, who was trying to curry favor with Madam Ling.
"Leave? I want to leave. If it weren't for you lying here, I wouldn't need to stand guard here!"
Ning Lingyun said angrily. She had been kneeling since the morning and was about to collapse from exhaustion.
At this time, she was in a bad mood. Moreover, when had she ever looked up to Madam Ming? But she didn't expect that the woman was dead. Why did she have to keep vigil at the coffin?
Thinking of this, Ning Lingyun was filled with anger.
Ning Xueyan's face darkened when she heard Ning Lingyun slander Madam Ming. Her voice turned cold. "Fourth Sister, do you dare say that again in front of Grandmother?"
Say it again in front of Old Madam?
Wasn't that courting death?
Ning Lingyun had seen how Old Madam protected Ning Xueyan today. Although she didn't know why Old Madam suddenly thought highly of Ning Xueyan, she knew that she shouldn't provoke Ning Xueyan at this time. She was frightened by what happened to those people just now.
"What do you mean by that? Are you deliberately finding fault?"
She had always thought that Ning Xueyan was a pushover, so when she heard that, she was instantly angered. She slammed the table and stood up. "Who told you to speak like that? How dare you say that to me!"
"Fourth Sister, do you have a problem with me or Old Madam?"
Ning Xueyan said coldly without batting an eyelid. She raised her head to look at Ning Lingyun. Her eyes were as cold as the abyss, sending chills down one's spine.
Ning Lingyun had wanted to throw a tantrum, but when she met Ning Xueyan's cold and deep eyes, she opened her mouth, but for a moment, she couldn't say anything.
But she immediately felt ashamed and angry, and glared at Ning Xueyan. Seeing that there was no one around, she simply stood up, stood up with the help of her maid, and went to the wing room to rest.
Ning Xueyan was also thinking that Ning Lingyun wasn't around. If she was, she might give herself away later.
This was the key to redress Madam Ming's grievances. She only hoped that the guest was important enough so that Ning Zu 'an wouldn't say anything.
If the guest was really here to pay respects to Madam Ming, he should be here by now. A guest like him wouldn't stay in the Lord Protector's Manor for this kind of thing.
She picked up the teacup and poured the powder Qingyu brought back into it.
The tea gave off a faint fragrance. It wasn't strong, but it was enough to be smelled by people with sharp noses.
Ning Xueyan drank half a bowl. She leaned on the side and rested quietly.
Qingyu ran in from the front hall. Seeing that there was no one in the mourning hall, she immediately came over and whispered in Ning Xueyan's ear. "Young Lady, Master Hou is coming this way. I saw him leading the way from a distance, so I ran over. They didn't see me."
"Oh, don't run. Kneel here."
Suppressing the pain in her heart that could not be ignored, Ning Xueyan opened her eyes slightly and pointed behind her.
The powder worked quickly. It only took a while for the effect to be seen.
"Yes, I'll drink some water first."
Qingyu was tired and was about to pick up the water at Ning Xueyan's feet. Ning Xueyan stopped her and said, "You can't drink that water. Kneel first!"
"Young Lady …" Qingyu looked at Ning Xueyan in surprise. She was shocked to find that Ning Xueyan's lips were pale.
Qingyu knelt beside her and held her body. "Young Lady, what's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable? I'll go to Madam Dowager and ask her to find a doctor. "
Of course, Ning Xueyan wouldn't let her go to Madam Dowager. Otherwise, she would drink the "medicine" in vain.
She held Qingyu's sleeve and said, "No need to go to Grandma. I'm fine. I'll be fine after a rest. Maybe it's my old illness. It doesn't matter. I'll be fine after a rest."
"Young Lady, are you really fine? You haven't had your old illness for a long time. Why did it happen again? What should I do? "
Qingyu's face changed dramatically when she heard it was Ning Xueyan's old illness.
In the past, Second Madam would find a way to mix some pills for her. Now that Second Madam passed away, where could she find pills for the Fifth Young Lady?
A trace of coldness flashed in Ning Xueyan's eyes. Madam Ling really poisoned Ning Xueyan!
No wonder Ning Xueyan's health was so poor. She would cry herself to death in front of her mother's coffin.
"Old illness? What old illness? What old illness does a young lady have? "
