She took out a stack of thick letters and handed them to Ming Feiyong. She had been out for a while, and she was afraid that someone in the Lord Protector's Manor would look for her. Lanning and the others couldn't deal with them, so she had to go back as soon as possible. She said, "Uncle, I found these in the secret compartment of my mother's dowry. I don't know if they are useful to you.
They were secretly brought by Mother Han these days and hidden in Madam Ming's dowry. Ning Xueyan had been in Bright Frost Garden for so many years, but she didn't see Ning Zu 'an visit Madam Ming even once, so she didn't see Madam Ming dress up. The dowry had a thick layer of dust. Mother Han and Ning Xueyan didn't think there was anything wrong. But since Madam Ling always sent people to check Madam Ming's belongings, they felt something was wrong.
After Mother Han sent them away, she searched carefully and finally found the letters in the secret compartment. She sent the contents of the letters to Cold Mountain Temple overnight for Ning Xueyan to decide. Ning Xueyan opened the letters and read them. In addition to some shop contracts, there were also some silver and other things, which should be Madam Ming's dowry.
Ning Xueyan didn't know that Madam Ming's dowry was so rich. Compared with Madam Ming's dowry, the dowry in her previous life was not even in proportion. This made her suspect that there was another reason for her death!
Of course, what shocked Ning Xueyan more was the last piece of paper. It was a contract with Ning Zu 'an and Madam Ming's fingerprints. Under their fingerprints, there was a blurred fingerprint. It was Madam Ling's signature. It could even be said to be the symbol of Madam Ming's identity.
If her uncle wanted to seek justice for her mother, this should be a very suitable entry point. Madam Ling thought that she was the noble Lord Protector's wife and suppressed her mother in every way. She suppressed her mother in a corner of the backyard and didn't let her go. She even poisoned her mother and killed her. She thought it was all over!
After her rebirth, Ning Xueyan let her wish come true!
Madam Ling, I will take revenge for what you did to me and Madam Ming step by step! One day, I will make you live a life worse than death!
The pavilion was not a good place to talk. Ning Xueyan said a few key points and said goodbye to Ming Feiyong. Ming Feiyong also knew that she couldn't stay for long, so he repeatedly told her to be careful and to send someone to find her if anything happened. Madam Ming held her hand gently and said the words again and again.
Only Ming Yuanhua snorted and said goodbye to her. Ning Xueyan didn't know how she offended Ning Xueyan. She didn't know what she did. Fortunately, although he was, he still came to her and said angrily, "Brother Yu Yu of of me. Of Ming." Ning Xueyan laughed.
This person was really awkward. He was obviously concerned about her, but he said it in such a sad way.
Back to the Cold Mountain Temple, the gate of the temple was quiet. Ning Xueyan didn't know whether Prince Yi had left or not. Fortunately, it had nothing to do with Ning Xueyan. Not long after she entered the temple, she saw a servant girl of the Lord Protector's Manor squinting her eyes to see a large group of people in front of her. She was shocked and hurried back to the yard from another secluded path. Then she jumped in from the back window in a hurry.
"Young Lady, you're finally back!" Qingyu, who was running around in the room, saw Ning Xueyan's head coming out of the window. She hurried to help her jump in and took off her servant's coat.
"Is Madam Dowager here?" Ning Xueyan asked breathlessly. She was not in good health. Her hands and feet were weak after running all the way.
"Yes. After you left, someone from the mansion said that Madam Dowager would come to the temple to offer incense. I was so anxious. Lanning went to the front to wait for you. You didn't see her." Qingyu quickly took off Ning Xueyan's coat and hurriedly put it under the bed. Then she helped Ning Xueyan to get on the bed.
"I saw Madam Dowager's servant in front, so I hurried over. Lanning should be with Madam Dowager." Ning Xueyan thought for a while and said. Lanning didn't see her at the door, but she saw Madam Dowager. She must try to delay as much as possible. "What did you say before?"
"I told Madam Dowager's servant that Young Lady was still sick and didn't get up." Qingyu calmed down at this time. She wiped the sweat on her head and said.
Lanning and Lanning were really anxious before. When the maids and old maids in the mansion came, they could say that Ning Xueyan was asleep and couldn't see anyone because she was sick. But when Old Madam came, they couldn't stop her if she wanted to see Ning Xueyan. So Lanning ran to the door and waited, hoping that Ning Xueyan would come back soon.
This morning, the powerful Prince Yi came to the Cold Mountain Temple, accompanied by the Third Prince. After a while, Madam Dowager of Lord Protector's Manor also came. When she entered the door, Ning Xueyan saw clearly that there was more than one family in the parking lot. Although the door was quiet, there were actually many people who came to offer incense today.
Did something happen in the Cold Mountain Temple?
While she was thinking, there were voices coming from outside. A lot of maids and old maids were shouting, "Madam Dowager, be careful." "Madam Dowager, be careful." "Madam Dowager …" It was obvious that there were many people coming.
"Qingyu, wash my face with a cold handkerchief!" Ning Xueyan leaned on the soft cushion and pointed to the handkerchief in the basin.
"Young Lady, the water has been cold for a long time!" Qingyu exclaimed.
"It's too late. Madam Dowager will be suspicious when she sees me lying in bed with a good complexion." Ning Xueyan said. Her complexion was much better than when she was at the foot of the mountain. She ran in a hurry just now, so her face was hot and slightly flushed. Her complexion should be good, not like the complexion of a person who had been lying in bed for a long time.
"But, Young Lady, you can't stand it …" Qingyu hesitated.
"Go. Even if I can't stand it, it's better than dying!" Ning Xueyan's eyes flashed with a bit of determination. She certainly knew that washing her face with cold water was very bad for her health. When she went out just now, she had cold sweat and hot sweat. Her body might not be able to stand it if she washed her face with a cold handkerchief in late autumn. But even if she couldn't stand it, she had to endure it.
She had heard the calm but anxious voice of Lanning at the door.
Seeing that Ning Xueyan was resolute and that they didn't have enough time, Qingyu clenched her teeth and walked over, wrung out a cold handkerchief, and handed it to Ning Xueyan. Ning Xueyan took the handkerchief and wiped it on her face. Her face, which had been so hot a moment ago, suddenly turned cold. She couldn't help but shiver a few times, feeling the piercing cold.
She had been sick for a long time. How could she stand it? The cold rushed up and her gums unconsciously trembled.
But her hands didn't stop. She wiped her face twice hard and bit her lips hard. The faint smell of blood slowly spread in her mouth. Only then could she stay awake and let Qingyu soak the handkerchief with cold water again.
After Ning Xueyan washed her face with cold water several times, the warmth on her face had completely dissipated. She fell on the bed with disheveled hair. Her pale face was devoid of any color. Not to mention blushing, her whole body was trembling. Seeing that Ning Xueyan was not in a good condition, Qingyu took another quilt and wrapped Ning Xueyan up with her red eyes.
When she was in a hurry, the door opened. Old Madam stood at the door with a large group of servant girls and old maids. Lanning led the way in front. When she saw the high gauze curtain on the bed, she was relieved and almost fell. Old Madam was unhappy that she had delayed time again. Now she couldn't delay any longer, so she had to bring Ning Xueyan here.
It seemed that the Fifth Young Lady really came back.
Ning Xueyan was lying on the bed with a pale face and slightly closed eyes. She didn't know whether she was dizzy or not. It was obvious that she was in a bad condition. At this time, she struggled to open her eyes and raised her head. It seemed that she was surprised to see Old Madam. She was stunned and put one hand on the bed as if she wanted to get up. But she had no strength. She loosened her hand and fell down.
She closed her eyes slightly and panted heavily. Both Qingyu and Lanning rushed to the bed and shouted anxiously. Ning Xueyan came to herself. She opened her eyes slightly and called weakly, "Grandma!" She couldn't speak anymore.
Old Madam was originally unhappy. On the way here, she had informed Ning Xueyan that she would arrive soon. She didn't expect that Ning Xueyan not only didn't meet her at the gate of the temple, but also asked her, her grandmother, to come in person. Old Madam came here with a straight face.
Seeing Ning Xueyan lying on the bed and couldn't even get up, Old Madam was stunned. She looked back at an old maid standing behind her with anger in her eyes. It was this old maid who repeatedly said that Ning Xueyan had recovered on the mountain. Now she found that Ning Xueyan was even weaker than when she was in the Lord Protector's Manor.
Old Madam didn't want Ning Xueyan to have an accident at this time. Seeing that Ning Xueyan really couldn't get up, she didn't blame her anymore. Her face relaxed and she asked others to stand outside. She took two close servants into the room.
"Fifth Young Lady, why are you so sick? What happened? Didn't you say a few days ago that you were almost recovered? "Old Madam asked in a gentle manner after sitting on the chair beside the bed.
Lanning and Qingyu supported Ning Xueyan with a thick cushion behind her. Hearing Old Madam's question, Qingyu knelt down and said, "Old Madam, Fifth Young Lady is much better than before. Yesterday, I heard from the head monk that you must be sincere in praying for your family. You bathed, changed clothes, and copied scriptures carefully. Fifth Young Lady wanted to pray for you. Last night, she copied for most of the night. We couldn't persuade her. So she became like this early in the morning."
"Qingyu … don't say it …" Ning Xueyan opened her mouth with difficulty. She wanted to stop Qingyu from talking, but she was too weak to speak.
"Well, Fifth Young Lady, don't say it. Have you seen a doctor?" Hearing that Ning Xueyan got sick because of praying for her, Old Madam looked a little kinder. Although she didn't like Ning Xueyan, she was a little kind at this time.
