Chapter 114 Who Is the Third Young Lady of Lord Protectors Manor? (1/2)

There were five Young Ladies in Lord Protector's Manor. The Eldest Young Lady and Second Young Lady were born of Madam Ling. Both of them were the most prominent in front of people and presented at most of the banquets. So they had a good reputation in the capital. Fourth Young Lady was born of a concubine and was not qualified to attend some banquets. Fifth Young Lady was the daughter of the co-wife, but she was timid and seldom left her courtyard, let alone go out to meet visitors.

In many people's minds, there was no Fifth Young Lady at all!

This was all Ning Ziying knew in her last life! She just had lived in Lord Protector's Manor for three years. She was not very clear about many things and had not met the Third Young Lady. Combining with the situation of two lives, she only knew something about the Third Young Lady three years ago.

It was said that the Third Young Lady was quiet and beautiful since childhood. When she grew up, her reputation was better. She was adopted by Madam Ming. So her identity was the same as Ning Xueyan's. Both of them were the daughters of co-wife.

But she was different from Ning Xueyan. It was said that she was very smart. Although she was not Ning Zu'an's biological daughter, she was favoured by Madam Dowager very much. Even Ning Yuling, who had always been arrogant, dared not bully her. Her status and treatment in Lord Protector's Manor were not worse than Ning Ziyan's and Ning Yuling's, who were the daughters of Legal Wife.

Although Madam Ming lived in Bright Frost Garden and did not leave her courtyard all year round, the Third Young Lady lived in Lord Protector's Manor like a duck to water.

At that time, Ning Xueyan was still young, and the most famous one in Lord Protector's Manor was the Third Young Lady, Ning Qingshan. Everyone praised her when they mentioned her. They all said that she was not only outstanding in appearance, but also smart and sensible. Young as she was, she was so outstanding. She must be better when she grew up.

At that time, both Ning Ziyan and Ning Yuling were neglected by others because of her.

When she was thirteen years old, she suddenly said that she wanted to go to the nunnery to pray for Madam Dowager, Madam Ling and Madam Ming, and would return in two years.

How could people not be moved by such a filial daughter? Immediately, everyone praised her, so that the emperor in the imperial palace was shocked by that. He specifically asked Honored Consort Ya, who then was Consort Ya, to inquire about her. It was said that the emperor wanted to confer an honor, Commandery Princess, on her. But it had not been carried out, and the reason was unknown to others.

Because Honored Consort Ya liked her, Ning Qingshan had lived in the imperial palace for two or three months before going to the nunnery.

But two years later, she still did not come back. She said that she wanted to pray for Lord Protector's Manor for another year. This year was her last year!

Originally, Ning Xueyan only knew these things. But at this time of her last life, Ning Ziying saw the Third Prince and curiously asked at the moment when Xia Yuhang accompanied Ning Ziyan and her wandering in the garden.

Ning Ziyan, who was eager to please Xia Yuhang, hastily explained. She said that Ning Qingshan had recognized the Honored Consort Ya as her aunt, so that she would also send a letter to Honored Consort Ya when she wrote to Lord Protector's Manor at this time every year.

Xia Yuhang also spoke highly of Ning Qingshan at that time.

Ning Ziyan also said that Ning Qingshan usually stayed in Bright Frost Garden and never met outsiders and be involved in other affairs. People of Lord Protector's Manor still could not see her when they sent things to her. However, she wrote a letter to her family on the first day into the nunnery, which was a filial behavior.

Two years was not enough, and she prayed for another year. It was impossible for ordinary people to do!

In all people's minds, Ning Qingshan was a model of Young Lady!

In the last life, Ning Xueyan would only envy her good luck.

But one would feel strange if he or she thought about it now. A Young Lady who had no blood relationship with members of Lord Protector's Manor had such a good reputation and enjoyed the favor and praise of everyone in Lord Protector's Manor. It was obvious that she was not a simple person.

Furthermore, the gentleness in the eyes of Third Prince could not be hidden. At that time, the Third Prince was only fourteen or fifteen years old. But he had been keeping thinking about Ning Qingshan for three years. How scheming the thirteen-year-old little girl was!

”Shan'er should be back this time. I have sent a letter to her today. She has spent three years there living a simple and hard life. She's just a little girl... I feel sad whenever I think of it.”

Madam Dowager sighed and said with tears in her eyes. She actually showed her true feelings that she had never shown before.

”Madam Dowager, does she agree to leave the nunnery this time?” There was a glimmer of surprise in the Third Prince's eyes.

Madam Dowager said while looking at Ning Xueyan, ”She should have agreed. She has been there for three years and has to come back. She is sixteen years old now. Ling'er is engaged, and she's next. There's no such a principle that younger sister gets married before the elder sister.”

Ning Xueyan's dress today was worse than usual. Her clothes looked so gaudy and her hairstyle was so ugly. She did not look like the Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor and even was worse than a maid. This made Madam Dowager very unhappy. She felt that she was not promising when she saw Ning Xueyan's appearance.

Originally, Madam Dowager hoped that the Third Prince would marry Ning Xueyan. But now she found that even she did not think Ning Xueyan was outstanding. How could the Three Princes like her?

”If she doesn't know how to dress up, her delicate and beautiful face is of no use. And how can she attract the Third Prince? Since Marquis of Ping'an want to marry her, just let him marry her. Anyway, she's in a poor health and doesn't know how to dress up. She's useless to the Lord Protector's Manor.”

Madam Dowager had made up her mind while looking at Ning Xueyan.
