Chapter 568 Unexpectedly, Someone Asks to Meet Her

“What? She has become a princess? That woman has even become a princess?” In the Bright Mind Garden, Commandery Princess Xianyun hit the table hard with her palm, and her face had turned dark. Only two days passed since she showed up the last time. But all her momentum and air seemed to have changed—she was no longer the gentle and charming woman.

“You are unwilling to accept the fact that she has become a princess, right? This is what you deserve. You harmed others as well as yourself. If you hadn’t thought of such a thing, would Lord Peace’s Manor have forced and sent me here? You were bitchy, and you dragged me down. Look at your ‘good end’ now! Why don’t you go to die? If you are dead, I don’t have to come here anymore.”

Yun Luoluo, who was sitting at the other end of the table, stared at Commandery Princess Xianyun with a sullen face, her eyes showing faint insanity and despair.

She had come to her senses this time, and she wished to tear Commandery Princess Xianyun into pieces.

She realized that she was truly finished. She was imprisoned in Prince Yi’s Manor because of such a reason, which meant that if Xianyun was to be “ill” all the time, she would have no choice but to stay with her. If she, an unmarried young lady, stayed in Prince Yi’s Manor for such a long time, people would be able to find something out with their guesses. Even if she had an opportunity to leave here in the future, her whole life would be ruined.

When she thought about such things, how could she not hate Xianyun? She even wished Xianyun died now. If she died, she could go back at least. Since she had just stayed here for a short time, her reputation would not be so bad. Maybe it could be saved with the help of the power of Lord Peace’s Manor.

But why didn’t she go to die!

“What nonsense are you talking about? You are the young lady of Lord Peace’s Manor. How come you’ve become such a shrew? You talk about death all the time,” Commandery Princess Xianyun scolded coldly while glaring at Yun Luoluo coldly.

Yun Luoluo let out a sharp laugh, “Shrew? You are a vicious shrew. You even thought of such a vicious plot of destroying someone’s reproduction ability. Not only did you harm yourself, but you also dragged me down! You bitch!”

Shouted at by Yun Luoluo like this, Commandery Princess Xianyun felt too ashamed to remain silent. She suddenly stood up and said angrily, “Yun Luoluo, this is Prince Yi’s Manor, not Lord Peace’s Manor.”

“So what? Is it that you still think you are still the princess in Prince Yi’s Manor? Look at the people at the door! You can’t even step out of the house. You still think about the princess’s title! In a short time, you may perish in Prince Yi’s Manor. By the time, I may still have a chance to live.” Yun Luoluo glared at Commandery Princess Xianyun fiercely.

She was ready to risk everything. Because of Xianyun, she had been reduced to the present state. If it weren’t for her, now she would still be the young lady of Lord Peace’s Manor, safe and sound, and also the respected bloodline relative of Empress Dowager. Anyway, she would not have been abandoned by Lord Peace’s Manor. If she had not been abandoned, she would not have to be imprisoned in Prince Yi’s Manor because of this incident.

“You still want to leave here? Don’t think about it. You can leave here only if I’m out of here. You had better stay peacefully in the courtyard. When I have a way to leave, I’ll help you leave here.” Commandery Princess Xianyun’s face turned dark when she heard the provocation, and her eyes were burning with anger. When had she been so contradicted by someone she always looked down upon?

“Leave here? You are dreaming! Xianyun, let me tell you something. Don’t think you still have a chance. You are so vicious and even went to kill others. Don’t think about having a good life in this life.” Yun Luoluo had tears in her eyes, which had quite a sharp look. She did hate Commandery Princess Xianyun so much. Once she remembered that she quite stupidly got herself into this matter completely because of the latter’s lies, she wished to strangle her to death.

After a hard slap, Yun Luoluo’s face turned to the side.

“Yun Luoluo, if you want to die, just scream hard here! This is Prince Yi’s Manor. If you disturb the peace here, you’ll be dead.” Commandery Princess Xianyun looked at Yun Luoluo’s eyes as if she was looking at a dead person. The gruesome feeling immediately silenced Yun Luoluo.

This was Prince Yi’s Manor. She really couldn’t be shrewish and make a scene. If Prince Yi was angered, she should not think about leaving here all her life. She still needed to get married, she was the official wife’s daughter in Lord Peace’s Manor, she could not die in Prince Yi’s Manor for no clear reason…

Qiu Huan stood gingerly behind Commandery Princess Xianyun with her head bowed, motionless. Only her slightly trembling hands hinted that she was not calm. When Xiangrong died, she was taken to watch the execution. She saw a bloody and unrecognizable body, which was her previous colleague Xiangrong.

She vomited at that time and passed out. When she woke up, she was already here. She was afraid, and she was really afraid. This matter was instructed by the princess, who was also on the scene at that time. But now the princess did not admit that she had done anything. She only said that it was Xiangrong’s personal idea, so Xiangrong died so miserably.

She knew why Xiangrong chose to be the scapegoat. After all, Xiangrong’s parents and her parents were all in Lord Peace’s Manor, so Xiangrong had no choice. This time, it was Xiangrong who took the blame, but what about the next time?

Later yesterday, she heard the words “I confess, I confess everything…” clearly from Xiangrong’s miserable cry, but no one cared about her, which meant that her testimony was no longer important. It could also mean that she could not bear the pain anymore. But what happened in the end? Even if she wanted to confess, it was useless.

Xiangrong died.

Xiangrong, who worked wholeheartedly for the princess, was dead! Buzzes sounded in her ears. Mechanically, she kept hearing the constant vicious quarrel between Yun Luoluo and her sister. “The two harmonious sisters are no longer the graceful and beautiful ladies of Lord Peace’s Manor in my memory, but just two shrews on the street.”

That night, Ning Xueyan learned that Ning Huaijing had returned to Lord Protector’s Manor. After thinking a bit, she asked someone in Prince Yi’s Manor to inform Hua Yunheng. Previously, Hua Yunheng said that he wanted to visit the Cloud Reflection Courtyard and worship Ning Ziying. He asked her to inform him of the time she went to Lord Protector’s Manor because he could use the chance to enter the manor.

As for this statement, Ning Xueyan truly thought that it was not well-intentioned, so she didn’t inform him when she went back to Lord Protector’s Manor the last time. Now Ning Huaijing had returned. The two of them should have contacted each other a long time ago because Hua Yunheng lost his sachet at that time.

If Hua Yunheng wanted to enter Lord Protector’s Manor and visit the Cloud Reflection Courtyard to worship Ning Ziying, it was more convenient for him to go to Ning Huaijing.

Now she was Ning Xueyan, and she didn’t want to have a relationship with him anymore. The man who was as close as her elder brother at that time had long gone. Besides, all kinds of thoughts and the moves of different parties had happened. Maybe only she did not know that after many years of separation, the love they had when they were young had become light a long time ago. Therefore, in her view, the so-called worship was more like an act with ulterior motives.

No matter what Hua Yunheng wanted to do, Ning Ziying was already dead. Now she was Ning Xueyan, one who just met him several times and exchanged a few words with him. No doubt, she was not his friend.

Therefore, the person she used to send the message was just someone whom she asked Lanning to get from Mother Ruan.

The person she used was from Prince Yi’s Manor, and the message she sent was quite normal, which meant that even if someone wanted to make an issue of it, he could not do that. Not many people paid attention to the fifth young lady of Lord Protector’s Manor, but now she was not only the fifth young lady of Lord Protector’s Manor but also the princess of Prince Yi. Inevitably, some people with bad intentions would pay attention to her. Sometimes they would also use this matter as an excuse.

When Madam Dowager’s invitation came, Ning Xueyan didn’t want to care about it at all, for she was quite clear about Madam Dowager’s intention and had no mood to cooperate with her to fulfill her will, so she just put the invitation aside, intending to ignore her for some time before making a reply.

But she changed her mind when she received Mother Han’s message at night.

What did the words “If you want to know Ning Ziying’s old stories, please come to Yuyan Shop tomorrow and have a chat” mean!

Yuyan Shop was her rogue and powder shop. The business here had been good recently. Mother Han’s son Han Dazhuang served as the shopkeeper and was also her loyal subordinate. Since her fragrance types were special, she could let the fragrances stay in the rogue and powder with special methods, and she could add different kinds of face powder according to different demands, then many young ladies from the rich and powerful families in the capital paid much attention to the shop.

The slip of paper was found in a powder box.

This powder box fell to the floor behind the counter at that time. The shop boy thought that it was the shop’s powder box that had fallen. But when he picked it up, he saw the slip of paper and found that the addressee was Prince Ning. He dare not neglect it and took it to Han Dazhuang hurriedly. At this time, Mother Han happened to come here. Then, the slip of paper was brought inside.

Only these words were written on it, even without a sender, but there was a light, vague addressee “Princess Ning” on the top. Without it, no one would know who this letter was for.

Yuyan Shop had just opened for a short time, so no others would know she was the owner, but the slip of paper before her showed that someone knew it.

“Mistress, let’s not go there. It is unknown who wrote it. Maybe this is just a joke. I, your old slave, went there many times. Possibly some people know me,” Mother Han said gingerly. This was quite strange in her eyes, and she didn’t want her mistress to go.

Ning Xueyan took one more look at the slip of paper in her hand, thought a bit, and said, “Go and reply to Madam Dowager first in a while. Just say that I will go to Lord Protector’s Manor tomorrow.”

“Why? Mistress, maybe this is a trap set by someone on purpose,” Mother Han said worriedly.

“Don’t worry. This is my shop. Even if I appear there, no one could say anything about it. If I meet someone by chance and have a short chat, that’s not a big deal,” Ning Xueyan said lightly. “Fortunately, this is my shop, and I will bring Xinmei with me. It is almost impossible for anyone to trap me.

“I do pay much attention to her previous life, but what does the person want? Why does he use such a reason to ask me out? It seems that this reason is so convincing that I will go once I see the message.

“Ostensibly, I was the young lady of Lord Protector’s Manor, while Ning Ziying was just someone lodging in Lord Protector’s Manor. More importantly, both of us have no connections. Even if I am a little concerned about the Cloud Reflection Courtyard, it means at most that similarly afflicted people pity each other, but why is the person sure that I will go as soon as I receive the message about Ning Ziying?

“Is anyone suspecting me? No, it is impossible. No one will know the secret of my rebirth because this is so strange. If it had not happened to me, I would not believe it.

“But if not so, how can this person be so sure that I will hurry there once I receive the message about Ning Ziying? Why does the person think so?

“It seems that I have to meet the person and see what he wants!”
