Chapter 116 Marquis of Pingsan Is Drunken and Enters the Womenfolk Courtyard by Mistake (1/2)

Being interrupted by the maid, Ning Yuling turned her face with anger, stared at the maid who was rushing in, and shouted angrily, ”What's the matter?”

”Young... Young Lady,” The maid trembled and realized that Ning Yuling would not let go of her if she did not provide some useful information when she was stared at by Ning Yuling. So she immediately said after gasping, ”Second Young Lady, the Third Prince is in Lord Protector's Manor now.”

”The Third Prince?” The anger on Ning Yuling's face disappeared at once. She took the maid's hands and asked in surprise.

Seeing that something bad was going to happen, Mother Chen immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Ning Yuling to stop her. ”Second Young Lady, First Madam said that you have to practise calligraphy in your courtyard. If you make Madam Dowager angry again, she can't protect you.”

”Mother had never protected me. I still have to rely on myself. Mother Chen, don't worry. I have a sense of propriety.” Ning Yuling impatiently pushed aside Mother Chen, who was standing in front of her to stop her.

Because she was pushed by Ning Yuling, Mother Chen stepped backward and almost fell down. After taking several steps backward, Mother Chen stabilized herself by holding a chair and her face had turned pale.

Ning Yuling asked the maid, ”Where is the Third Prince now?”

”How dare you! First Madam ordered that no one can talk about the Third Prince in front of the Second Young Lady, otherwise...” Just as the maid was about to speak, Mother Chen's gloomy voice came from behind. The maid was so frightened that she dared not say again. She shook her head in fear while covering her mouth, afraid to say anything more.

She only remembered that the Second Young Lady had said that they would be rewarded if they report to her immediately when they got the news of the Third Prince. She forgot that the First Madam had said that they would be beaten to death if they talked about the Third Prince in front of the Second Young Lady.

Although the maid wanted a reward very much, she dared not say something about the Third Prince in front of Mother Chen. She would lose her life if First Madam knew this matter!

”Speak now!” Seeing the maid covering her mouth and shaking her head, Ning Yuling got angry and directly slapped her heavily, who then stood unsteadily and fell to the ground.

”Say it! If you don't tell me, I'll sell you to the worst brothel.” Ning Yuling said that with fierceness.

”Young Lady, I...” The maid was very regretful now. She regretted that she had come back to tell the Second Young Lady as soon as she got the news of the Third Prince in the kitchen in order to get the reward. Unexpectedly, she did not receive the reward, but was punished. On thinking the life in the worst brothel, the maid immediately knelt straight in front of Ning Yuling.

”Young Lady, the Third Prince is in the manor now. Marquis invited him to have lunch. Now people in the kitchen are busy preparing lunch and don't have enough time to make the pastries you want.”

The maid directly said all she knew in a trembling voice, ready to risk everything.

The maids who served Ning Yuling knew that they really would be sold to the worst brothel by Ning Yuling if they did not obey her. The life there was worse than death.

”Did the Third Prince really come to Lord Protector's Manor? My father also invited him to have lunch here?” Hearing the maid's words, Ning Yuling was very happy and her eyes brightened. She did not care about the maid anymore and immediately walked inside while asking other maids to choose beautiful clothes and to send to her. ”I have to dress up well so that the Third Prince will marvel at my beauty and be unwilling to give up me. Then he will propose marrying me. Will my grandmother oppose at that time?”

At this time, all she was thinking about was the Third Prince. She did not realize that the Third Prince had not fallen in love with her when she was innocent, let alone now.

”Second Young Lady, you can't go out. You're grounded now. If you go out now, Madam Dowager will be angry.” Mother Chen followed her and urgently advised.

Ning Yuling rolled her eyes and carelessly said, ”So what? If I become the Consort of the Third Prince, she will be thrilled. How can she blame me at that time?” She sat in front of the dressing table while the maids were dressing up her.

”Second Young Lady, the First Madam is still in Buddha Hall...” Mother Chen also wanted to persuade her, but Ning Yuling was tired of it. She said to the two maids standing behind the door, ”Stop her mouth. If I hear her nonsense again, I'll beat you together.”

The two maids dared not disobey Ning Yuling's order. One came and pressed Mother Chen's hands, and the other stuffed a cloth towel into her mouth. Mother Chen was old and could not stop the two maids. She was dragged aside and could only watch Ning Yuling going out after dressing up.

Last time, the Third Prince just stayed for a short time. So this time Ning Zu'an invited the Third Prince to have lunch in Lord Protector's Manor. Fortunately, the Third Prince agreed to stay for lunch. However, the fly in the ointment was that they could not get rid of Marquis of Ping'an who was as sticky as sticky candy.

Marquis of Ping'an had come to talk about the unity by marriage, but Ning Zu'an ignored him and directly asked him to talk about it with Madam Dowager. Everyone knew that Madam Dowager was powerful and could defeat ten people like Marquis of Ping'an together. Unexpectedly, Madam Dowager asked people to tell Ning Zu'an that Marquis of Ping'an had a jade pendant of Lord Protector's Manor, which made Ning Zu'an very angry.

”It must be Madam Ling's work, otherwise it is impossible for Marquis of Ping'an to have this jade pendant!”

The meaning in Marquis of Ping'an's words made both Madam Dowager and Ning Zu'an nervous. So Ning Zu'an talked to Marquis of Ping'an for a while when he came out of womenfolk courtyard to look for him. But he wished that Marquis of Ping'an could leave as soon as possible. However, Marquis of Ping'an moved ahead with ten-step-forward when Ning Zu'an moved one-step-backward and did not leave.

He also said that he would leave with the Third Prince. The Third Prince stayed for lunch, so did he.
