Chapter 68 - Yousre Right. We Must Find out Who Did This! (1/2)

It was exactly the moment that Ning Xueyan had been waiting for!

Looking up at Madam Dowager with her dark-jade-like eyes, she slowly dropped the words one by one after clearing her throat. ”Grandmother, how could Mother Han take advantage of my lowly status?”

Madam Ling once said that by taking advantage of Ning Xueyan's power, Mother Han encouraged her son to commit violence and he beat up Concubine Ma's brother.

This thing that happened to Mother Han was the reason Ning Xueyan had been drugged. What Mother Han had done annoyed Concubine Ma, and hence, brought a fatal disaster to Ning Xueyan.

However, if Ning Xueyan was even unable to protect herself, how could Mother Han take advantage of her power?

In one sentence, Ning Xueyan argued clearly that Mother Han was being framed by Madam Ling.

Then the entire house fell into a weird silence. Cold sweat was already forming on Madam Ling's forehead. It was so unexpected to everyone that Ning Xueyan would make such a big leap. Originally, everyone's attention was focused on the servant who had cursed Ning Xueyan. But now, all their eyes fell upon Mother Han.

With tears in her eyes, she looked quite sad and her voice sounded mournful. She looked at Ning Xueyan with kindness and love. How could she be an arrogant person? Even the woman kneeling beside her looked much more ferocious than her.

”Madam Dowager, judging by the status of the Fifth Young Lady in your manor, how could her personal servant take advantage of her power? It seems that you've caught the wrong person!” Off to the side, Consort Dowager of Commandery Prince Li's Manor saw the farce clearly. She sneered slightly with her lips rising.

”Consort Dowager, no... How could they take the wrong person? They all said that it was Mother Han.” When this thing came down on her head, she had to bite the bullet and explain.

Everything that happened was all linked together. If one of those things went wrong, then the following things wouldn't follow. How dare Madam Ling let others know the inside story!

”Mother, even an inferior servant can humiliate me at will. She rained down curses on Lanning's head only because Lanning mentioned me. No one spoke up for me. In this situation, who would choose to stand on the side of Mother Han?” Ning Xueyan asked indifferently. She lowered her eyes slightly to cover the indignation at the bottom of her eyes.

An unfavored mistress with a servant who was despised by others—if anyone wanted to frame her, it would just be a piece of cake.

”I...” Madam Ling was stumped and was unable to find anything to say.

”Mother, the life or death of Mother Han was decided just by a few people's words. Then why can't the truth we saw before us explain everything? Does Mother also think that we should find a few more people to verify it?” Ning Xueyan lifted her lips a little and sneered slightly. Her eyes fell upon Madam Ling without blinking or avoiding her.

That kind of deep and hellish aura came at her from all sides. Madam Ling was so intimidated by this aura that she could not utter a word.

The facts were displayed in front of them. None of those servants who had come just now had spoken a word on behalf of Ning Xueyan. They all came here with the attitude of just watching the fun. And judging by those people's cavalier attitudes, everyone present could realize the status of Ning Xueyan in the Lord Protector's Manor.

Consort Dowager of Commandery Prince Li's Manor was present, so Madam Ling couldn't just turn things upside down, even if she was eager to do that.

”The rules in the Lord Protector's Manor are really different. The Fifth Young Lady was drugged by someone but her personal loyal servant was punished for it. The daughters in the Lord Protector's Manor are really cheap. No wonder that the Second Young Lady was capable of doing such a degrading thing. Because that was the way she was brought up!” Unable to watch anymore, Consort Dowager spoke in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

”Madam Ling, apologize to the Fifth Young Lady.” Upon hearing what Consort Dowager had said, Madam Dowager made a quick decision.

Madam Ling's face changed greatly. She turned to look at Madam Dowager with disbelief, but all she saw was her ice-cold eyes.

She bit her lips and her face turned pale. All the muscles in her face were shaking. She was a Marchioness but now she was asked to make an apology to her daughter, which was meant to be a kind of humiliation—a terrible humiliation!

She would not only make an apology but also lose her dignity as Marchioness.

Her dignity had already been trampled on once when she was in the palace. But that was in the palace, and the one who had trampled on her dignity was the queen, the most distinguished woman in the whole country.

But now, the one who had trampled on her dignity was the little bitch that she despised the most...

In that room, there was only silence, a weird silence!

Ning Xueyan had gotten up with someone's help and now she was standing beside Madam Dowager. A maid served a cup of hot tea and brought it to Madam Ling's side.

Madam Ling picked up the teacup with her trembling fingers and forced herself to stay calm. Seeing that Ning Xueyan stood still, she had to walk over to her. She said while gritting her teeth, ”Xueyan.”

Ning Xueyan just looked at her indifferently but her fists clenched unconsciously. She tried hard to restrain herself from slapping the face of Madam Ling. Her hot blood rushed into a hell of tumult, and finally, her blood became quiet and deep. ”This time, I just taught her a lesson. I'll have plenty of opportunities in the future.”

”Madam Ling wanted more than my life.”

”I misunderstood you before...” Madam Ling handed the tea to Ning Xueyan but her eyes were full of hatred!

”Mother, you indeed had listened to the rumors and misunderstood me. I hope that you can help me find the person who drugged me. Now that we know it isn't Mother Han, who told those rumors to you?” Ning Xueyan asked naturally and then took the tea from Madam Ling's hands without embarrassing her too much more. After this, Madam Ling's dignity in the manor would suffer a great loss.

In addition, she still had the following moves.

Madam Ling almost could not hide the hatred in her heart, and she replied dryly, ”Yes, I have misunderstood you. It won't happen again. I will find out who is so vicious!”

Ning Xueyan looked at her and said word by word, ”Mother, I didn't blame you.”

”I will certainly not only blame it on you, but also, I can't wait to drink your blood and eat your flesh...
