The Devious First-Daughter

Chapter 378 Got Her Crippled for Dispose

She had a little dull ache in her head, but it was not severe. She opened her eyes and stared blankly at the snow-white mosquito net hanging above her. After a while, she touched her head and did not know where she was. Suddenly, the last scene flashed through her mind. She became alert, and her eyes widened. Where had she been taken to?

“You’re awake? Do you want to fall again?” A pleasant, enchanting voice could be heard, but its tone was cold.

When she heard the voice, Ning Xueyan relaxed. Her sense of vigilance disappeared without a trace, leaving only questions in her mind.

How could it be Ao Chenyi?

When she turned her head, she saw Ao Chenyi sitting on a chair. He was holding a dossier, and did not turn his head.

“Prince Yi, why... why am I here?” Ning Xueyan asked in a hoarse voice. She remembered that she had been drinking tea with Ning Huaijing.

“Yan’er, are you unwilling to come and visit me?” The thunderous voice, together with his handsome profile, was filled with a weird coldness.

“How could it be possible? Where is this place? This is not your Manor, right?” Ning Xueyan looked sideways and found nothing unusual. It should not be Prince Yi’s Manor. Although all items of furniture needed were ready, they were not luxurious but ordinary.

“Are you in such a hurry to enter my manor?” Ao Chenyi said slowly, and a faint smile rose from the corner of his lips. The cold atmosphere in the room immediately disappeared.

“Prince Yi, where is my second brother?” Ning Xueyan’s face turned red, and she deliberately ignored his words.

“Is there anyone else? When I saw you, there was only one person.” Ao Chenyi said casually.

“He was with me. He was at the teahouse just now.” Ning Xueyan was shocked. She opened her bright and shimmery eyes wide and asked hurriedly. She tried to sit up, but in a rush, she forgot that her hand was still injured. With a slight push and a powerful touch, she screamed in pain and fell to the side.

When she jumped out of the carriage, although she was protected by Xinmei, her hand had brushed against the ground. She had abrasions all over her palm. Although it had been treated, some parts had been seriously injured. With this sudden effort, the wound reopened. It was so painful that her eyes filled with tears, and her big eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist.

She looked so pitiful that it was heartbreaking.

“Well, now you know that it hurts! Didn’t you jump out fast at that time? You’re so lucky. Otherwise, your head would have been injured.” Ao Chenyi walked up to her and looked at her painful expression with genuine interest. A lazy and mocking smile showed on his handsome face.

“Prince Yi, I was wrong!” Ning Xueyan said pitifully, holding back the pain and raising her misty eyes.

“You’re wrong? I think it’s good! If something like this happens in the future, you’d better do it like this. How dare you fall out of the carriage, when you’re so weak? You’re lucky that you escaped death and a great calamity.” Ao Chenyi said in sepulchral tones. He stretched out his slender fingers and put them on Ning Xueyan’s wrist as if he was going to break her thin and white wrist, with a little force.

“I won’t do that again!” Ning Xueyan showed weakness because his wrist was strong. She did not know why she made him unhappy. But she knew that a wise man should not fight back when the odds were against him. Besides, she had to follow his intention.

She really did not think about it. She guessed that Ning Yuling had tampered with the carriage, but she did not expect that Ning Yuling would be so vicious that she did not even give her a chance to live. She tampered with the clothes too, by loosening several seams and the belt. She also made the surface rough so that it would be easily torn apart, by using only a little force.

If she jumped off the carriage using all her strength, it was enough to rip apart the new set of clothes. Her clothes would be in a mess, and she would die a violent death in the street. After her reputation was ruined, she would lose her life. Ning Yuling’s mode of murder was vicious. She had responded in kind.

When her hand touched the dress, a kind of home-made powder fell into it. Those clothes were so beautiful, and they were Ning Yuling’s favorite, in the past. But now, Ning Yuling was not as arrogant as she used to be. Therefore, she had to wear this dress.

The unique powder was not very fragrant, but after coming into contact with the skin for a period of time, it made one’s skin itch. This kind of skin allergy was not serious. As long as they waited for a while, it would be fine. For others, even if they saw it, they would not have been so panic-stricken that they would directly take off their clothes in the carriage, to check.

But for Ning Yuling, it was not like this. Ning Yuling, who had been disfigured previously, was like a startled bird. When she found a little bit of skin allergy, she was scared out of her wits. It was reasonable for her to do something extreme.

Ning Xueyan had taken all these things into consideration, including bringing Xinmei out. However, she still underestimated Ning Yuling’s viciousness, so she almost got into trouble at the last moment. Xinmei’s situation was even more critical at that time. Thinking of this, Ning Xueyan genuinely showed her weakness.

Xinmei and she had just missed being seriously injured by mere seconds.

She had not yet avenged the blood feud in her last life, and there was already a new one in her life. There would be no chance for her to take revenge again.

So, he saved her once more.

“Hum, I should cripple such a vicious girl.” Seeing that Ning Xueyan voluntarily admitted her mistake and showed her weakness, Ao Chenyi finally looked better. His pleasant voice softened a little. His hand fell on her palm as a trace of subtle gentleness flashed in his long and narrow eyes.

Her hands were still scarred and the bandage was wrapped around her whole hand. It was different from before. Besides, the cold and comfortable feeling on her hand also indicated the difference in the medicine used. She had used this drug before, but she used only a little. When she injured her shoulder, she used the drug too.

It was much better than the ointment she used yesterday. Of course, it belonged to Prince Yi’s Manor.

She gently pinched her palm and deliberately moved it slightly to show that she was okay. She had overexerted herself just now, so there were a few cracks on it. It would naturally be much better if she relaxed now. The burning pain had lessened because of the good medicine on it.

“Prince Yi, you can do that. I still have to live in the Lord Protector’s Manor,” Ning Xueyan said helplessly. This arrogant and evil prince’s ideas were so straightforward.

“Well, it won’t be long before I bring you into the manor.” Ao Chenyi seemed to sense Ning Xueyan’s helplessness. He glanced at her and suddenly let go of her hand. He sat down on the edge of the bed and said this lazily.

Noticing the faint smile in his eyes and his bewitching face, Ning Xueyan turned away uneasily, and her ears became a little hot. “Prince Yi, let’s not talk about anything else. Will you wear the wedding clothes that I embroidered when you marry your consort? I’m afraid that the Commandery Princess Xianyun has prepared one set for you. How can you wear so many wedding clothes?”

When she talked with Commandery Princess Xianyun that day, Ning Xueyan knew that Commandery Princess Xianyun was also making the wedding clothes. Although they did not make it clear at that time, Ning Xueyan knew it well. She thought that Ao Chenyi, a prince, would have his wedding clothes made by the imperial palace. However, she did not expect that the bride would also be making the wedding clothes.

As long as it was in line with the standard, it was fine!

She had also seen the embroidered sample that Ao Chenyi had given her. It was a pattern of prosperity indicated by the dragon and the phoenix, with a red character “Xi” hidden in it. It should be an embroidery sample from the palace. Since Ao Chenyi had repeatedly requested it, she could not refuse. However, if Commandery Princess Xianyun also made it, it would be a little different.

Commandery Princess Xianyun was the consort. Even if Ao Chenyi did not wear the custom-made clothes by the palace, how could he not wear the clothes that she had carefully embroidered?

It was not that she had any thoughts about Commandery Princess Xianyun. She just felt that she would be doing it in vain. Since she bothered to do it, she asked for his advice carefully.

“Take it easy. I only like your embroidery,” Ao Chenyi said with an evil smile. He ended his speech in a low voice, as if he suddenly became gentle. Ning Xueyan felt more and more uncomfortable. She secretly complained about the topic she had mentioned...

She did not feel comfortable at all. She took a deep breath. When she looked back, her face was calm.

“Prince Yi, how’s my second brother? Is he all right?” She was now 100% sure that what Ao Chenyi had said was not true. How could he not see such a big man? Besides, would Ning Huaijing not look for her when he discovered that she was missing?

“Don’t worry. He will not die!” Seeing that she changed the topic, Ao Chenyi glanced at her lightly. Then, he got up and sat back in his chair.

“Then, where is my second brother now?” Ning Xueyan asked softly and uncertainly, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly.

“He’s outside.” He said angrily. Even the way he looked at Ning Xueyan became weird and cold again.

It seemed that she had offended this cold-blooded demon again for some reason. Ning Xueyan smiled bitterly in her heart, but she still had to ask. If something happened to Ning Huaijing, she would be sad. Everyone knew that Prince Yi did what he wanted. If he were unhappy, he would kill Ning Huaijing.

He would be guilt-free when dealing with people like Ning Huaijing.

“Prince Yi, can I go outside and look for my second brother, so that we can go back?” Ning Xueyan asked cautiously with a smile.

“Go, go!” Ao Chenyi waved his hand, and a haze appeared on his handsome face. But when he saw Ning Xueyan standing up obediently, he smiled sinisterly and said, “Yan’er, remember to make the wedding robe as soon as possible. Otherwise, you know...”

“Yes, Prince Yi. I won’t forget!” Ning Xueyan promised. Since he insisted that she embroidered the wedding gown herself, she decided to do it. Whether she stitched it or not was her problem. Whether he wore it or not, it would have nothing to do with her. Why should she worry about it?

“Then, I’ll go back and wait for you. Embroider it right away!” The corners of Ao Chenyi’s thin lips curved slightly on his extremely enchanting face, revealing an evil smile. He said lazily, “Remember to embroider it fast. It may be sooner than I expected.”

“Sooner than expected?” Ning Xueyan was surprised. After all, they had to wait for a few months after the first wife married into the manor. The process of the imperial wedding was not simple...
