Chapter 447 - Being Forced, But There Was No Way to Retreat (1/2)

After having lunch and resting for a while, Ning Xueyan went to Ning Qingshan’s yard with Xinmei. It was Ao Chenyi’s request that she should take Xinmei with her wherever she went in order to avoid any other accidents.

The courtyard, where a patient lived, was usually very quiet. Like Ning Xueyan’s courtyard, Ning Qingshan’s courtyard was full of the smell of medicine. As soon as Ning Xueyan entered the courtyard, the strong smell of medicine came to her nose. Seeing the four guards in the courtyard, Ning Xueyan frowned and stopped. Ao Mingyu was here?

“Fifth Young Lady, you’ve just arrived. My master has asked me about it several times. I was thinking about coming over to help you in. Unexpectedly, you’ve arrived.”

Mammy Luo came out from the room. Seeing Ning Xueyan standing in the courtyard, she immediately came over affectionately and reached out in an attempt to help Ning Xueyan in, seeming to afraid that Ning Xueyan would leave.

“Mammy Luo, stay there. My master is weak and can’t bear to be dragged. Let her walk slowly.” Xinmei reached out to stop Mammy Luo, but her words made Mammy Luo blush in embarrassment.

What she had done just now made others feel that she seemed to be so afraid that Ning Xueyan would run away that she tried to drag Ning Xueyan inside.

“How’s Third Sister’s leg injury? Does she need another diagnosis? The imperial physician treating me got excellent medical skills. It’s said that he’s highly skilled in bone setting. Should I ask him to come over and make a diagnosis and give treatment for Third Sister?” Ning Xueyan stopped and asked gently with faint delight in her extremely delicate eyes.

“Thank you, Fifth Young Lady. Please ask the imperial physician to come over a moment later. After you.” On hearing that there was another imperial physician capable of setting bones, Mammy Luo was overjoyed and said hurriedly. She made a gesture of inviting Ning Xueyan inside and couldn’t hide the delight in her eyes.

“Mammy Luo, the imperial physician has worked in Prince Yi’s Manor and enjoyed a high status there. It might be better for me to ask him to come over and make a diagnosis and give treatment for Third Sister. I can chat with Third Sister after that,” Ning Xueyan said in a soft voice after thinking for a while. She turned around and intended to go out instead of walking inside.

“Fifth Young Lady, you are weak. Go inside and have a rest. I’ll run this errand. Otherwise, my master will feel worried. We can’t let your injuries worsen because of inviting the imperial physician here to treat my master, right?” Seeing that Ning Xueyan was leaving, Mammy Luo came over to stop her in a hurry.

Since when had Ning Qingshan been so considerate? Ning Xueyan looked up coldly. After glancing at the four guards, who didn’t look sideways, and glancing at the door of the main room, she turned to Xinmei and said with a cold smile, “Xinmei, why don’t you go to invite the imperial physician here? I’ll go inside to see my Third Sister now.”

Ning Xueyan stressed the three characters “my Third Sister” on purpose and glanced at the door with obvious meaning.

“That’s right. Xinmei, please run this errand. We don’t want to trouble the Fifth Young Lady to go back again. Otherwise, my master will feel sorry.” Mammy Luo beamed with joy and reached out to help Ning Xueyan.

“Mammy Luo, let go. My master is weak, so leave her alone. If something terrible happens to her, no one can take the responsibility.” Xinmei reached out to pushed Mammy Luo’s hand away rudely again and said with a trace of anger on her face, “My master is weak, and can’t bear to be dragged by you. Since the Third Young Lady isn’t in the room, we can go back now and come over later with the imperial physician.”

Ning Qingshan was not in the room as she expected? Ning Xueyan’s shimmery eyes became sharp. Mammy Luo acted abnormally today. She kept inviting Ning Xueyan to get into the room. If it were Ning Qingshan who was in the room, on hearing that the imperial physician treating Ning Xueyan was skilled in bone setting, she would definitely ask Ning Xueyan to invite him right away regardless of Ning Xueyan’s health condition.

On the contrary, Mammy Luo seemed to only care about Ning Xueyan without mentioning her injured master in the room. Everything she said showed her concern for Ning Xueyan. She would rather cause a delay in her master’s treatment than make Ning Xueyan suffer grievance. She was so enthusiastic as if Ning Xueyan was her master.

However, Ning Qingshan had always been a selfish and vicious person, and Mammy Luo had only one master which was Ning Qingshan.

If it was true that Ning Qingshan was in the room, the Third Prince must be in the room as well, and Ning Qingshan intended to show her gentle and amiable demeanor in front of Ao Mingyu.

The reason why Ning Xueyan gave a hint to Xinmei was that Xinmei was a martial arts practitioner. Last time, she heard from Xinmei that Xinmei could distinguish whether someone was a martial arts practitioner through his breath.

Ao Mingyu was definitely a martial arts practitioner, but Ning Qingshan wasn’t. So they must breathe in different ways. Since Xinmei gave such a hint, it meant that Ao Mingyu must be the only one in the room. Otherwise, it was impossible for Ning Qingshan to stop breathing.

Ao Mingyu was in the room. If Ning Xueyan got in the room with Xinmei, it would be impossible to explain why she and Ao Mingyu stayed in the same room. If Ning Qingshan came back at this moment, she and Ao Mingyu would be considered a couple “committing adultery caught in the room”. She was going to marry Ao Chenyi soon. If she stayed with Ao Mingyu at this time, it would be impossible to explain it, and the development of this matter would be out of her control.

Ning Qingshan, who had been busy enough with her own affairs, dared to set her up. As she thought, a trace of anger in her eyes turned into rage.

Before Mammy Luo came to her sense, she said with her face turning cold, “Since Third Sister is not in the room, what do I get in for?”

“My, my master is really in the room. Fifth Young Lady, if you don’t believe it, come in and check it out yourself.” Mammy Luo became anxious, pointing inside and saying. She then reached out to grab Ning Xueyan’s sleeve in an attempt to exert herself drag Ning Xueyan in, as if she wanted Ning Xueyan to get in the room and verify it in person.
