Chapter 28 Winning Lannings Hear (1/2)

t

After falling into the water last time, Ning Ziyan had been ignored by Xia Yuhang for more than half a year. She had sneaked into Xia Manor afterward, kneeling down in front of Xia Yuhang for six hours with lightly dressed. She fainted later so Xia Yuhang forgave her reluctantly, and he warned her not to be against the woman.

Seeing Xia Yuhang's reaction, Ning Ziyan knew he treated that woman differently, but who was this woman?

Ning Ziyan was hesitating.

Because Ning Xueyan's words had helped her just now, Ning Ziyan had a good feeling about her. She frowned a little when she heard what Ning Xueyan said and thought it made sense. However, she couldn't make up her mind. The main purpose of Ning Ziyan's coming to Cold Mountain Temple with Ning Xueyan is to glorify her reputation. She wanted people to know she was a filial daughter. And the reason why the funeral turned into a wedding was because of her unawareness.

She needed to get herself out of the scandal of Lord Protector's Manor.

Therefore, perhaps it was not wise that Ning Ziyan returned home now. Seeing that woman showed a coquettish face with a handkerchief in her hands, however, Ning Ziyan hated it a lot and couldn't calm down easily.

”My Eldest Sister, if you don't come back...” Ning Xueyan glanced at Chen Hexiang slightly, implying something unspoken with her lip thrown up a little. It could be told obviously that Chen Hexiang was ambitious. If Ning Ziyan really stayed at Cold Mountain Temple for a month, it would be hard to predict what would happen.

”My dear fifth younger sister, please help me to burn some incense for my second mom. I got something to handle in my manor, so I need to go back hurriedly.” Ning Ziyan said. Although her reputation was important, she decided to deal with Chen Hexiang first at the moment seeing Chen Hexiang's face. Because nothing is more important to her than Xia Yuhang. Ning Ziyan had just got rid of Ning Ziying. It was unexpected that Chen Hexiang showed up.

Ning Ziyan even never felt guilty for killing Ning Ziying, let alone this woman.

”Eh...okay, my Eldest Sister. Our mom wouldn't blame you for this, especially in circumstances like this. You can go home now.” Ning Xueyan dropped her eyes smiling. Her eyes fell upon Ning Ziyan's hands, which were bound up carefully. The wound inside the bandage was a bite from Ning Xueyan. The bite contained all her grievance, hatred and pain. It, seemingly, hurt deeply because Ning Ziyan tried to protect the hand all the time.

Even though it hurt her badly and so what? The wounds would heal soon, but how about the broken heart?

Assembling two vicious women together is the purpose of her managing to make Ning Ziyan come to Cold Mountain Temple. Two hypocritical malicious women gathered in Xia Manor so it would be impossible for Xia Yuhang to get any peace. What Xia Yuhang cared about most, such as having the first prize of the next spring and passing the imperial examination for a better political career, would be destroyed by her one by one...

Both her and Ning Xueyan's stuff, she would let them pay for it eventually...

Back to the room, Ning Xueyan sat for a long time to recover from gloomy malaise. She thought her status as Fifth Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor could play a role better now...

”My lady, do you want to have a rest?” Lanning asked as she walked in with a cup of hot tea. She noticed Ning Xueyan remained the same gesture as she saw before her leaving. So she thought about it and asked the question.

Ning Xueyan turned to look at Lanning, taking a deep breath. Her limpid cold eyes were filled with mood swings, and she came straight to the point with astonishing words, ”Lanning, please tell me everything you know, and I would avenge your lady's death.”

The words came to Lanning unexpectedly. Lanning's face turned white promptly and couldn't help trembling. She looked at Ning Xueyan in amazement with her eyes in panic, ”My...my lady...”

Her delicate lip was bitten turning almost bloodless! And her eyes seemed losing bright!

Although Ning Xueyan appreciated it in her heart, she stared at Lanning trying hard to repress her feeling, and said by word, ”Yes, I want to know the truth of Ning Ziying's death.”

Ning Xueyan wanted Lanning, but it would be unnecessary to keep Lanning if she became disloyal. The one Ning Xueyan needed is the same Lanning of Ning Xueyan's previous incarnation, who was loyal to her completely. She never planned to tell Lanning all the weird things about herself. How freaky what she had gone through was! Her rebirth in another girl's body, even herself couldn't believe it really happened let alone Lanning. So she ought to adopt some more valid measures to give a hit straight to Lanning's heart.

”My dear Fifth Young Lady, my lady...was...was because of herself...” Lanning said, gritting her teeth when she opened her eyes wide.

”I know you don't dare to tell the truth. Then please keep it as a secret forever, and never try to avenge her death! Let reality be the truth!” Ning Xueyan interrupted Lanning cold-bloodedly. Her eyes were insightful and peaceful, filled with rolling darkness, which could nearly swallow people.

Looking at this pair of eyes, Lanning felt a bit distressed. She burst into tears because there were hatred and sadness deep inside her heart. She flopped down on her knees, kowtowing to Ning Xueyan hard three times. Then she raised her head staring at Ning Xueyan and said, ”Fifth Young Lady, please get revenge for my lady. She... she... must be murdered by Eldest Young Lady and First Madam.”
