"Young Lady, Qingrui was almost beaten to death. First Madam asked someone to drag her to the gate of Bright Frost Garden, saying that she had avenged Second Madam. She is still lying bloody at the gate of Bright Frost Garden." Mother Han wiped her sweat, and her face was pale. No matter who saw the person who was beaten to a bloody mess, they would be scared!
Madam Ling had beaten Ning Xueyan to such a state and thrown her at the gate of Bright Frost Garden, implying that she was avenging Madam Ming. Madam Ling was really vicious. She wanted everyone to think of Ning Xueyan as a narrow-minded and vicious person who wanted to ruin her reputation. Of course, she also wanted to use this incident to divert attention.
Qingrui was from Bright Frost Garden and served Ning Xueyan. The servants would only think that Ning Xueyan didn't let Qingrui go. She used Madam Ming to force First Madam to punish Qingrui. In the end, she didn't feel at ease and even wanted to hang her at the gate of Bright Frost Garden as a warning to others!
What a vicious act!
Compared with Madam Ling's cover-up of Madam Ming's funeral, this was even more shocking and vicious!
"Mother Han, let's go and have a look together," Ning Xueyan said calmly and took a pair of large candles from the pile of offerings.
Seeing that Ning Xueyan was so calm, Mother Han inexplicably felt relieved and looked a little better. She nodded and took Ning Xueyan to Bright Frost Garden.
"Fifth Young Lady, Master Hou asked you to take her away. Pay attention to the dignity of the Lord Protector's Manor." As soon as they reached the intersection of Bright Frost Garden, an old maid hurried over. When she saw Ning Xueyan, she came up with a smile and bowed to her. Her tone was very light and her expression was very indifferent.
She asked her to pay attention to the dignity of the Lord Protector's Manor because she didn't want her to say that Madam Ming was poisoned. Madam Ling really knew Ning Zu 'an's character. She knew that he would make her suffer in silence.
But no matter how good Madam Ling's plan was, there were some things that she didn't expect!
"Okay." Ning Xueyan smiled faintly and nodded. She seemed to say casually, "Help me reply to my father. Tell him that the Lord just said that he would send someone to send offerings later and ask my father to receive them."
When worshipping, one had to offer sacrifices, but this prince had come empty-handed! They were probably not here to pay their respects to Madam Ming, but since it was along the way, they would still offer their offerings later.
Ning Zu 'an had rushed to the inner court, while the prince had gone to the outer court. They were going in different directions, so it was impossible for them to run into each other.
"Yes, this old servant will report to the Marquis." The old maid felt that she had completed Madam Ling's order. She nodded proudly, turned around and left with a smile, heading for Madam Ling's Bright Clouds Courtyard.
She was originally a member of Madam Ling's courtyard, and she had a part in throwing Qingrui to the gate of Bright Frost Garden just now. After that, she went to report this matter to Ning Zu 'an. Of course, she also expressed that Madam Ling's purpose was to help the Fifth Young Lady vent her anger. She repeatedly expressed that Madam Ling was magnanimous and thought for Ning Xueyan.
The hatred of killing one's mother was absolutely irreconcilable. Even whipping the corpse was not enough!
As soon as Ning Zu 'an heard this, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he hurriedly asked the old maid to stop Ning Xueyan from telling the truth. The Second Madam of the Lord Protector's Manor was poisoned to death by a servant. If she said this, it would be a disgrace to the Lord Protector's Manor. What would others think of the inner court of the Lord Protector's Manor?
So when the old maid heard that Ning Xueyan did not dare to disobey Ning Zu 'an's order, she went to report the good news to her master with pride.
"Young Lady, she …" Looking at the direction in which the old maid left, Qingyu's eyes widened and she said angrily. She said she was going to report to Ning Zu 'an, but she ran to Bright Clouds Courtyard so brazenly. It was obvious that she thought Ning Xueyan could not do anything to her.
A cold smile appeared on Ning Xueyan's lips. "Mother Han, you go to the front door and keep an eye on them. If there's a VIP offering coming in alone, you go …" Ning Xueyan whispered in Mother Han's ear. Mother Han was stunned at first, but then she nodded her head vigorously!
A large circle of people gathered at the door of Bright Frost Courtyard. The servant girls and old maids covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and pointed at Bright Frost Courtyard.
"I didn't expect that the Fifth Young Lady was so cruel and merciless. She is dead, but she still won't let people live in peace."
"She just ate a few meals from her, but she was directly beaten to death. How pitiful!"
"She was beaten to death and dragged here to be an example to others. What a sin!"
"I didn't expect that the Fifth Young Lady, who never goes out of Bright Frost Courtyard, is so cruel. Whoever marries her in the future, all the people in the backyard will be killed."
Sure enough, under the instigation of some people, the more they talked about Ning Xueyan, the more unpleasant they became. The servant girls and old maids standing at the door not only did not speak for Ning Xueyan, but also joined the crowd to denigrate Ning Xueyan, with a look of disapproval on their faces.
All the servant girls and old maids in this courtyard were on Madam Ling's side, flattering Madam Ling and humiliating themselves.
"Shut up, the Fifth Young Lady is here!" Seeing that those people were still slandering Ning Xueyan, Qingyu stepped forward angrily, pushed away an old maid who was talking energetically, and shouted.
The scene was a little quiet, but then there was laughter and jokes. None of the servant girls and old maids came up to salute Ning Xueyan. They all squinted at Ning Xueyan and chatted. Actually, no one took Ning Xueyan seriously.
"Who was slandering me just now?" Ning Xueyan's eyes were cold, and she looked at the dozen servants in front of her.
"Fifth Young Lady, we dare not do that. We just came to see the fun. We heard that a dead person was thrown here in Bright Frost Courtyard. We didn't know who committed the crime, so we all came to have a look." A servant girl in green laughed in the crowd.
"Yes, we were shocked when we heard that someone died. Now we came to have a look and found that it was the Fifth Young Lady who punished the people of Bright Frost Courtyard. We made a fuss out of nothing!" An old maid holding a teapot also answered with a smile, which immediately attracted more people's cheers. They said one after another that they just wanted to watch the fun out of curiosity.
No one in the Lord Protector's Manor took her seriously. If Madam Ling didn't instruct them, how could they dare to be so rude in front of her?
With a cold face, she took two steps forward, picked up the teapot in the old maid's hand, and smashed it at the feet of the crowd without saying a word. The teapot was smashed, and the hot water splashed out.
No one expected that the Fifth Young Lady, who had always been cowardly, would suddenly launch an attack. Those who reacted quickly only had time to jump, and those who reacted slowly were scalded by the splashing hot water. They couldn't help but step back a few steps, sit on the ground, cover the scalding hot water, and scream in pain.
They had never seen Ning Xueyan like this. Looking at her cold black jade eyes without a trace of warmth, those who were scalded by the scalding hot water unconsciously became a little lower. They only felt that Ning Xueyan in front of them had indescribable majesty and momentum.
"Go on. I'd like to hear what else you have to say." Ning Xueyan looked cold and shouted sternly.
"Fifth Young Lady, we … we are just watching the fun!" The old maid holding the teapot came to her senses at this time and argued. She just moved quickly and jumped just in time, so she wasn't scalded.
"Slap her 20 times!" Ning Xueyan's eyes fell on her coldly, without a trace of warmth.
"Why? Fifth Young Lady is the master. If the master wants to punish me, I have nothing to say. However, I'm the First Madam's servant. You have to give me a reason before I punish me. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to the First Madam! "
The old maid argued with sharp teeth. She called the First Madam without any nervousness on her face. She didn't take it seriously at all. In the end, she even became complacent.
Originally, she was sent by Madam Ling to stir up trouble. At this time, seeing that she ruined the Fifth Young Lady's prestige, she held her head high and was full of confidence. She didn't talk to Ning Xueyan, but turned to other servant girls and old maids present.
"Slap!" A fierce slap made the old maid turn around and almost fall down. Seeing that it was Qingyu who slapped her, she immediately gritted her teeth and rushed over to make a scene. She scolded, "Bitch, even the Fifth Young Lady doesn't dare to hit the First Madam's servant. You bitch, how dare you hit me? You really don't want to live."
Ning Xueyan sneered. She suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Qingyu. Then, she shouted in a stern voice, "How dare you, dog slave! I'm the mistress of this mansion. How dare you act so insolently in front of me? Who gave you such courage?!"
The killing intent that suddenly burst out from her eyebrows fell on the old maid as if it was real. The old maid trembled for no reason and became guilty. She took a step back and didn't dare to swing her hand again. Being stared at by the Fifth Young Lady's cold eyes, she felt a kind of creepy feeling.
But then she remembered that she was the First Madam's servant and didn't have to be afraid of the Fifth Young Lady. Seeing that everyone was looking at her just now, she immediately felt embarrassed and angry. She felt that she had lost face. She immediately winked at the two servant girls standing on the side. They were both sent by Madam Ling. "Fifth Young Lady, get out of the way. If I don't teach this bitch a lesson today, she won't know who the master of this mansion is!"
After saying that, she was about to pull Ning Xueyan's sleeves to pull her away. The two servant girls also came over and wanted to go around Ning Xueyan to hit Qingyu.
At the gate of the Bright Frost Garden, Madam Ling's servant dared not to give Ning Xueyan face and hit her servant girl in front of her! When did this mansion ever treat her as a master?
The white candle in her hand hit the old maid's face fiercely. The old maid didn't guard against it and was immediately hit dizzy. She subconsciously reached out to touch her face and found that it was covered with blood.
She never thought that Ning Xueyan, who never dared to speak loudly when being bullied, dared to hit someone. Then she looked at Qingyu who was standing on the side and laughing at her. She suddenly became angry and said to Ning Xueyan with a grim smile, "Fifth Young Lady, you are so bold. You even dare to act like a master in front of me and disobey the First Madam's order. Look at the girl lying on the ground. She didn't listen to the First Madam's order."
She didn't choose her words carefully and only wanted to suppress Ning Xueyan.
"Oh, it turns out that this person was beaten to death by my mother because she offended her. But why did she throw her to my Bright Frost Garden?" Ning Xueyan sneered and raised the corner of her mouth.
"Fifth Young Lady, if you don't listen to me, this is what will happen to you!" The old maid thought that Ning Xueyan didn't believe it, so she immediately scowled and continued to threaten her. She deliberately pointed at Qing Rui, who was lying on the ground in a bloody mess and had died silently.
After saying that, she reached out and wanted to pull Ning Xueyan over to see Qing Rui's miserable appearance.
