Chapter 70 – Who Is The Victim? (2/2)

”You... Miao'er, you can tell us. Tell us. Is it this bitch who told you that the Third Prince was going to meet that little bitchy Ning Xueyan?” Ning Yuling went mad. Pointing at Miao'er, who stood by the side at a loss, she shouted loudly.

This time she even mentioned the Third Prince!

The faces of Consort Dowager, Madam Dowager, and Madam Dowager Liu all became gloomy and cold. Now all of them turned around and looked at Miao'er.

Being stared at by so many people, Miao'er immediately knelt down with a bump.

Miao'er was shocked and scared. She only knew that bad things had happened to the Second Young Lady and it was related to the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li. Thus, neither the Second Young Lady nor Madam Ling would let her go.

”Miao'er, you are the personal maid of Ling'er. The Second Young Lady was originally resting in her own courtyard. Why did she come here? Was she framed by someone? Or is it you who deliberately played a dirty trick and set your mistress up? You must tell us everything honestly. You must make yourself clear today because Lord Protector's Manor cannot tolerate black-hearted people like you.”

After the initial shock, Madam Ling's mind suddenly clarified. Staring at Miao'er, she reproached her angrily.

It seemed that she was rebuking Miao'er and she wanted her to tell the truth. But in fact, she was threatening Miao'er.

Madam Ling gave Miao'er two choices. The first choice was that Miao'er had been set up by Ning Xueyan. The second choice was that Miao'er had been framed Ning Yuling. Either way, Ning Yuling was the victim.

Madam Ling was in charge of the backyard of the whole Lord Protector's Manor. So she could easily decide a slave's life and death as she wished. Moreover, Ning Xueyan, the Fifth Young Lady, had always been looked down upon by the people in the manor. Miao'er stayed by Ning Yuling's side all the time so she also bullied Ning Xueyan often in the past. How could she fear Ning Xueyan?

Even the new servants of Lord Protector's Manor knew which one they could offend and which one they couldn't.

Miao'er thought about this a little while and then she made her judgment. She immediately pointed at Ning Xueyan and said in a trembling voice, ”Yes, I... It was... it was the Fifth Young Lady who had me lie to the Second Young Lady and lure her here. The Fifth Young Lady gave me a large amount of money so I became greedy. I just needed to trick the Second Young Lady into staying in this room for a while. I thought it was nothing serious.”

Her words caused an uproar!

All the suspicious eyes turned toward Ning Xueyan!

Off to the side, upon hearing what Miao'er had said, the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li learned that Ning Xueyan had instigated Miao'er to lure Ning Yuling here. With a surge of angry flames rushing up, he dashed over to Miao'er with big strides and kicked her. Staring at her, he scolded loudly, ”You cheap maid, you got that vamp into my bed only for a little money and harmed my reputation. Are you looking for death?”

Miao'er's body was kicked over. She covered her chest and had a ghastly pale face. However, she still gritted her teeth and said, ”It has nothing to do with me. The Fifth Young Lady asked me to do so. I dared not disobey her order.”

Consort Dowager saw that the face of Miao'er changed dramatically because of the kick. Lest something bad happened to the witness, she shouted to stop the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li. ”Xian'er, stop!”

”Grandmother, Lord Protector's Manor has bullied me again and again. I feel really upset and angry.” Now his face was red with anger. With his face red and his neck swollen, the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li straightened his neck and spoke angrily.

He was not annoyed because he had been caught. He only felt disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly at the thought that Ning Yuling also had an affair with that poor man. That bitch Ning Yuling pretended to be bashful before him as if it was her first time to make love with a man, which made him cherish her a lot. When he thought of all these things now, he only felt sick.

This bitch was so good at acting. He had dealt with women for so many years, but he was also fooled, which was a great shame to him!

”Xian'er, rest assured, Lord Protector's Manor will certainly give us an explanation.” Consort Dowager pulled him to sit down. Now the matter had developed to this point—whether it was Ning Xueyan who had lured Ning Yuling here or Ning Yuling who had misbehaved herself as an unmarried girl and had thrown herself at Xian'er, the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li was relatively innocent.

No matter what the facts were, the Commandery Prince Li's Manor would not lose.

Seeing that Miao'er spoke in the way as she had expected, Madam Ling felt overjoyed in her heart. Thus, she turned her head to Madam Dowager. She cried while wiping her tears with a handkerchief. ”Mother, the facts are in front of us. It was the vicious Fifth Young Lady who greatly envied Ling'er and lured her here deliberately. She has ruined Ling'er's reputation. Mother, you should support Ling'er and shouldn't let the Fifth Young Lady go.”

Ning Yuling, who had collapsed to the ground, took the cue from Madam Ling's eyes and then she cried louder and louder.

”Grandmother, grandmother, you have to uphold justice for me!”

At this time, she was truly sad because her reputation had been ruined. But actually, the most important thing was that the person who ruined her reputation was the Princely Heir of Commandery Prince Li, who she despised the most. How could she not be sad? For a while, she even choked with sobs. But she also glanced viciously at Ning Xueyan out of the corner of her eyes and nearly grinded her teeth to pieces secretly.

She wanted Ning Xueyan to die miserably...
