The Devious First-Daughter

"Say, what's going on?" Ning Zu'an just came in, and found a noisy crowd of people in the garden, and from the shadow of the study, he even found a trembling maid, and it was said that this maid was Luo People in the smokehouse.

"Master Hou, this servant was just guarding the door in the yard, and suddenly saw a maid waving to the servant. The servant thought that Lord Hou had something to tell the servant, so he walked over, but later found that the person was gone. Afterwards, the servant found the girl in the study. It was about to fall, and I hurriedly called someone to look for it, only to find this person."

Because of the meritorious service in the rescue, the young man of course raised his head high at this time. Just now Ning Xueyan asked Xinmei to tell him that he was willing to give him the credit for discovering the abnormality, so at this time he was very grateful to Ning Xueyan and felt that this The fifth girl is his great savior, if it was not for the coincidence that the fifth girl came here today, when Lord Hou returns to the mansion and sees something abnormal, the young servant who was killed by the stick will be his lesson from the past!

So later Xinmei said that in order to make Lord Hou believe that this was what he discovered, there was no need to mention Miss Wu at all, and he agreed without hesitation, and even became more grateful to Miss Wu in his heart.

"Is this girl from the third girl's yard?" Ning Zu'an asked with a gloomy expression.

"Yes, this servant has been asked by someone just now, and they all said that it was from the third girl's yard. He said that he came to help the third girl find some books and wanted to bring them to the palace to read." The maid in front of Zuan said angrily.

He was almost killed by this girl, so why not angry.

"Did your girl ask you to come over and look for books?" Ning Huaiyuan looked coldly at the maid who was kneeling on the ground and kept shivering, and said coldly.

"The slave girl wants to read a book, and there are no new books in Luoyan Court for a while. The slave girl thought that Lord Hou is here, and said that there is no book, so she came over to ask if there are any books that can be lent to our girl. Come here to see if there are any books. I went into the house to look for it by myself, and wanted to bring a few books for our girl, but I didn’t expect that suddenly, when I heard someone coming, the servant was afraid that Lord Hou would punish the servant, so I hid.”

Although the maid was trembling, she spoke clearly and explained the matter back and forth.

"Didn't your girls ask you to come here to look for books?" Ning Huaiyuan smiled heavily, and asked again, with a stern look on his brows unconsciously.

"Master Hou, she lied, how could it be such a coincidence that the servant has been guarding the gate of the yard, a maid at the front foot tricked the servant away, and she entered the yard with the back foot, and the servant has been in the yard since then, and did not hear the sound coming from the house. If there is anything unusual, it can be seen how light her hands and feet are, and she is so light, and she is afraid of being seen, so she can tell at a glance that she deliberately stole into Lord Hou's study."

The little servant hurriedly said, when he thought of him dying in the hand of this maid, he gritted his teeth in hatred, and pointed at the maid at this time, and retorted.

"Slave... Numai just accidentally entered Lord Hou's study because she didn't see anyone before, so she didn't dare to make any noise." The servant girl hurriedly distinguished, and at a glance, she knew that she was a smart person, but Ning Zu'an's The servant is also a smart one, following her words, he accused loudly.

"The rules of the Hou's mansion, how can you enter the master's room at will without the master's order? You entered the study privately and rummaged through the Hou's things lightly. If there are some important files missing, who can afford it?" responsible?"

"Slave... Slave..." The servant girl was in a hurry, turning her eyes left and right, as if she was looking for something, but there were all Ning Zuan's people around, looking at her coldly, no one stood by her side.

"Come here, kill her!" Ning Zu'an said coldly. He is the master of the Hou Mansion. No matter what the purpose of this maid, entering his study is a challenge to his authority. There is also a servant girl who caused the guard at the gate, and he knew at a glance that there was something wrong here.

Two guards came over, took the maid's hand and dragged it out.

"Master Hou, please forgive me. I really didn't intend to offend you by accident. I really didn't mean to offend... Uh, uh, uh!" The maid's voice was muffled behind the scarf, pulled by two guards, and pulled out directly. If you dare to break into Lord Hou's study, it's a dead end. I really don't know what kind of heart and leopard a maid has eaten to dare to do such a thing.

"From now on, no one is allowed to enter the study door without my order." Ning Zu'an's sharp eyes fell on the young servant, and he said sharply.

"Yes...yes, my servant obeys orders!" Forced by his substantive gaze, the servant was so frightened that his hands and feet became cold, he quickly knelt on the ground, and said respectfully.

"Next time, if you are lured away by someone, you will lose your life." Ning Zu'an said another sentence coldly, then turned and went to the door of the study, leaving only the servant behind him trembling coldly, He couldn't utter a single word, he just lay limp on the ground, almost, really almost, if there was no fifth girl, his fate would be here today.

Ning Zuan opened the door of the study room, looked at the book that was about to fall, his eyebrows twitched, he entered the room, walked around in various places, and then sat down in front of the desk again. His brows and eyes were slightly frowned, he didn't think it was necessary for Luo Yanyuan and Ning Qingshan to send someone to his study.

Could it be that he came here for that? But how would Ning Qing know about this matter, a boudoir and weak girl? And she was just an orphan adopted by him back then, if it wasn't for the fact that the person who sent Ning Qing fan over was special, he wouldn't have brought her to the Hou Mansion to raise her as his own daughter.

For Ning Qingshan, Ning Zuan only thinks that she is a well-behaved girl, more well-behaved and sensible than anyone in his house. Seeing such a little girl looking at people with such a well-behaved and submissive eyes, I still feel that It was very comfortable, so when he heard that Ming Shi abused the child, he was also very angry at that time, and immediately obeyed Mrs. Tai's wishes and moved her to Luoyan Courtyard alone.

The subsequent performance also shows that Ning Qingshan is a sensible person. Not only did Mrs. Tai praise her, but also let people outside the mansion know that the third girl in the Huguohou Mansion is righteous and filial to the world, and she is a true filial daughter. , the tutor of Huguohou's Mansion, also because of her popularity, when mentioning the girl of Huguohou's Mansion, at that time, all of them gave thumbs up.

Even Ning Zu'an felt that this daughter was not wronged, even if it was his own, it was nothing more than that, now even Concubine Ya Gui admired her, and the third prince fell in love with her even more, for the past three years, he would come here every year to wait for her. Her letter made her worth a hundred times, and made her highly regarded by the people in the Huguohou Mansion.

But what was she doing in her study? It's getting more and more unbelievable. Is there any problem with Ning Qingfan?

"Master Hou, Miss Wu is here, Madam Tai asked her to come here." The servant came in softly and replied.

"Let her in!" Ning Zu'an was taken aback for a moment, but then nodded, not understanding why Ning Xueyan came here at this time.

The servant backed away in response, and made a gesture of invitation to Ning Xueyan who was standing outside the door, and bowed to give way. His life was saved by Ning Xueyan, and he showed Ning Xueyan from the inside out. bona fide.

Ning Xueyan raised her legs and entered the door of the study. The thin figure hesitated a little at the door, then walked in, and when she arrived at Ning Zuan's case, she gave a blessing: "See father."

"What's the matter with you?" Ning Zu'an frowned and asked,

"Grandmother said that Yan'er was boring entering the palace, so she asked Yan'er to come to my father to pick up a few books to read, and Yan'er wanted to get some books of poetry to read, I wonder if my father has them here?" Ning Xueyan said softly, with a look on her face The room is natural and dignified, and the water eyes are clear.

"Find it yourself!" Ning Zu'an pointed at the bookshelves on both sides, casually said.

"Please give me two copies at will from my father. I'm just looking at them for leisure. It's not a big deal." Ning Xueyan refused softly, without any intention of flipping through the bookshelves.

Seeing that although her face was pale and weak, her expression was calm, neither anxious nor irritable, and she had the demeanor of a lady, she casually glanced at the bookshelf, showing no interest at all.

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to me to look for books to read?" Ning Zu'an picked up the tea that the boy gave him, took a sip, his eyes fell on Ning Xueyan, and he looked at it a little bit, and then slowly asked.

"I heard from the third sister before that my father has a lot of books here, so I thought about coming over to have a look. Yan'er's Mingshuang courtyard really doesn't have many books to read, so I have to enter the palace. If there are few books, I'm afraid I'll be made fun of."

Ning Xueyan replied very naturally, with a little shame on her expression, and even a little bit of bitterness, but there was no other meaning in her words.

Although Ning Zuan didn't pay attention to Ning Xueyan's situation in Mingshuangyuan, he also knew that at the earliest, he wanted Ling to hire a nurturing mother for Ning Xueyan. Later, he heard from Ling that the nurturing nun He thought that Ning Xueyan was very naughty and there was no way to teach him, so he didn't care about it anymore.

Even if the Ming family is teaching, there are not many books in the Mingshuang Academy!

But what happened to Ning Qingfan? He didn't think that Ning Qingfan had been to his study, so how did he know that he had a lot of books here, and even encouraged Ning Xueyan to come to him to look for books? Ning Zuan frowned slightly, "The books here are not as good as your elder brother, why don't you go to your elder brother to find books?"

"Third sister said that it's not good to always borrow books from the elder brother. It always disturbs the elder brother, so it's better to borrow books from the father." Ning Xueyan said.

A gloomy and angry look flashed across Ning Zuan's face. Ning Huaiyuan was afraid of being disturbed, but he was fine here. Ning Qingshan's words were so rude, as if he was not afraid of being disturbed by her. Here I am, looking for things casually and secretly, and I feel more and more suspicious.

Could it be that he was really looking for something?

He stood up, walked to the bookshelf, randomly took out a few books, and saw the half-hanging book by the way. That book was a criminal law book. Is this kind of book really suitable for a deep boudoir?

"Yan'er, take these books and read them. If they are not enough, go to your elder brother. He has more books of this type." Handing the books to Ning Xueyan, Ning Zuan's expression was filled with A touch of warmth.

"Yes, thank you father!" Ning Xueyan nodded, with a grateful expression on her face, she saluted Ning Zu's Anfu again, and retreated.

"Wait, what's in your hand?" Ning Zuan's eyes suddenly fell on Ning Xueyan's hand.
