The Devious First-Daughter

"Xueyan, what do you think of this hairpin? Does it look good?" Heng Yuqing fiddled with the hairpin in her hand, took a photo of it facing the sun, and asked Ning Xueyan not confidently.

Grandmother's birthday is coming, Heng Yuqing asked Ning Xueyan to come out this time, mainly to help grandma choose a gift, and the jewelry shop she just walked into is also a well-known shop in the capital, with an eight-bay building On top of that, plus all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, it is enough to be worthy of the phrase "wealthy and powerful".

Aristocratic families in the capital generally like to come here to choose. On the one hand, of course, it is because of the full range of styles here. On the other hand, it is because of the new styles here. The ladies like it very much.

The head face of this set of opals that Heng Yuqing is holding now is not the most precious, but it is expensive because each piece is in a subtle place, and the word "longevity" is ingeniously engraved, and the overall polishing process It is also smooth, which is really the best choice for birthday gifts for elders.

"This set is very good, and this hairpin is also beautiful. It should be very suitable for Mrs. Tai, and the whole set looks generous and precious." Ning Xueyan looked at the whole set of hair and face put together, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, that's it, wrap it up for me." Hearing that Ning Xueyan said the same thing, Heng Yuqing immediately nodded and said to the clerk.

The man responded immediately, and the maid followed to pay.

Heng Yuqing is in a good mood these days. It can be said that she has been in a good mood ever since Aunt Yun lost power. Once Aunt Yun lost power, Heng Yuqing listened to Ning Xueyan's hint and first sent her mother's doctor It was changed, and her uncle's family was asked to come forward and invite a famous doctor to come over. It turned out that the reason why Mrs. Ning Guogong and Mrs. Ning had been ill was because she had been given contradictory medicine.

And after the drug was found out, it was from Aunt Yun.

When the matter is found out, Duke Ning will still protect Concubine Yun, in vain trying to demand Mrs. Ning Guo with the three obediences and four virtues of a woman, in order to cover up this matter. After death, Heng Yuqing immediately went to beg Mrs. Tai, but Mrs. Tai made a strong attack and directly relegated Aunt Yun to the nunnery, and also imprisoned Heng Yuwan secretly, and the matter was considered to have subsided.

After that, Mrs. Ning Guogong's body became better day by day, and now she can basically sit up and manage affairs. Her own mother is fine, and Heng Yuqing is of course relieved. Of course, she is also sincerely grateful to Ning Xueyan. However, if Ning Xueyan hadn't reminded her, mother might be dead by now.

Because, she heard that there were assassins coming to Prince Yi's mansion, and she was anxious about Ning Xueyan's situation, so she specially asked Ning Xueyan out by choosing a "birthday gift" for her grandmother. Ning Xueyan walked together.

"Xueyan, let's go to the teahouse in front, have a drink of tea, and chat for a while?" After choosing the birthday gift, Heng Yuqing pointed to a teahouse opposite.

Coincidentally, this teahouse is the one in Mingfu.

Ning Xueyan nodded, waited for Heng Yuqing's maid to pay, brought over the cat's eye stone noodles, and went to the opposite teahouse together.

When I went to the teahouse, the shopkeeper saw that Miss Biao was coming along with a daughter of a family, and hurriedly and courteously took her to a spacious private room near the window.

"Is this place empty today?" Ning Xueyan asked in astonishment after looking at the private room with an excellent location. When she came all the way, she could see clearly that even the downstairs was full of guests. Why is it so good? One of the private rooms is still empty.

"Princess, don't worry, this place is indeed empty today. Our young master kept it for himself, saying that he wanted to entertain guests, but just now the young man came and said that the young master is not coming, and the princess happened to be here. Isn't it just a coincidence? .” The shopkeeper said with a smile.

It was a coincidence, but Ning Xueyan was a little disappointed not to see Ming Yuanhua, and she hadn't seen Ming Yuanhua for a long time, although she knew from Ao Chenyi that her uncle was fine these days, but so She hasn't seen her cousin or uncle for a long time, she still misses them more.

When I wanted to come over, I might be able to see it, but I still missed it unexpectedly, and said thank you to the shopkeeper. After the shopkeeper left, I sat down with Heng Yuqing at the window, and the two maids were at the door. After taking the tea made by the buddy, he came over and poured them two cups of tea.

"Is this your cousin's shop?" Heng Yuqing squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and asked curiously, of course she also knew that Ning Xueyan's uncle's house was Mingfu.

"Yes, but my cousin is not here." Ning Xueyan said regretfully.

"Then let's come and have a look next time." Heng Yuqing said enthusiastically. She had seen Ming Yuanhua from afar. He looked very neat and handsome. Men, I don't like those who are gentle and soft.

"Okay, let's come over together next time." Seeing Heng Yuqing's overly enthusiastic greeting, Ning Xue rolled her eyes and smiled sweetly, or it would be nice to have a refreshing cousin.

"Are you all right in the Hou Mansion?" Heng Yuqing felt a little uncomfortable when Ning Xueyan laughed at her. Although she had a straightforward personality, she also blushed inexplicably, as if some secret had been discovered by Ning Xueyan. , hastily changed the topic and asked.

What she asked was about the changing of the title of the Marquis of the Protectorate. Ning Zu'an is now in his prime, but he had to pass on his title to his son, and when he accepted the official position, he was all dismissed, and became a real man. For idlers, there will inevitably be a gap in their hearts.

However, this kind of gap is what Ning Xueyan likes to hear. For a man like Ning Zuan who is so devoted to clinging to the powerful and abandoning his original spouse, Ning Xueyan thinks it is best to have this kind of gap. What is the military talisman of the previous dynasty, it can make him think clearly about how many selfish and treacherous things he has done over the years.

"It's okay, my second brother is the one who inherits the title now, so it's just right for him to inherit the title!" Ning Xueyan smiled faintly.

The gap is not only Ning Zuan, but also Mrs. Tai. In the past few days, she has sent people to let her go back. Ning Huaijing has become the Marquis of the country. Now, compared to a maid in the house, Mrs. Tai must be very uncomfortable!

Call yourself over to support her, but unfortunately, she never wanted to support her, so all these invitations were pushed over, and she only said that she was frightened and couldn't leave the house for a while.

Seeing that Ning Xueyan was telling the truth, and seeing her smile leisurely, Heng Yuqing, who was a little worried about her, smiled. Although she didn't pay much attention to such things, everyone in the capital knew that Yi The position of the palace seems to be noble, but it is actually dangerous. If the Huguohou's mansion still drags Ning Xueyan back, it will be even more detrimental to Ning Xueyan.

"Hey, girl, isn't that the second girl?" The maid Heng Yuqing brought suddenly pointed to a place below, and exclaimed in surprise.

Their position is facing the window, and the street below is the street they came to before. From this position, you can see all the scenery on the opposite road. Because of the position, especially everything in front of the opposite gold store, See more clearly.

And the person the maid pointed at was standing at the door of the shop.

Heng Yuqing raised her eyes to look, her eyes fell on the woman below, she was also quite puzzled, the woman was carrying a maid, both of them lowered their heads, turned sideways inside, only half of the face was seen, from this half Looking at it from the side, it really looks like Heng Yuwan, but isn't Heng Yuwan grounded by her grandmother?

"The next one should be Miss Heng Er!" Ning Xueyan also leaned over to take a look, nodded and said, although she didn't have much dealings with this girl Heng Er, she remembered it very clearly. The one below is just that she doesn't know much about the affairs of the Ningguo Mansion, so she glanced at Heng Yuqing in confusion, "Can't she come out?"

"When Concubine Yun went to my mother's place to make trouble, she went with her. She was pissed and crying, just like Concubine Yun. Later, my grandmother locked her up and asked her to read the book of women's precepts carefully. Books like this, why, she came out today too?" Heng Yuqing asked in confusion.

"Look at her waiting for someone like this!" Before Heng Yuwan went in, he turned his face and looked out again, this time everyone could see clearly, it was indeed Heng Yuwan.

"She wants to make some kind of demon to come out again. No, I have to go and have a look. Xueyan, you wait here, I will take a look next time."

Heng Yuqing suddenly stood up. Of course, Heng Yuqing didn't have any good feelings for Aunt Yun's mother and daughter. Her mother would die at the hands of Aunt Yun. Her mother's life and death, forcing herself to enter Yi Wang's mansion, really made her very angry.

So, seeing Heng Yuwan, she subconsciously wondered if Heng Yuwan wanted to do something bad for her mother, and she couldn't sit down with peace of mind.

"Go down, I'll watch from above." Looking at Heng Yuqing's appearance, Ning Xueyan knew that she couldn't stop her, she nodded immediately, pointed to the bottom and said to Heng Yuqing, "Don't rely too much on me for a while. close, or she will find out."

"I know!" Heng Yuqing nodded, took her maid, went out of the private room, and hurried downstairs.

Ning Xueyan was still sitting in front of the window, looking at Heng Yuwan downstairs, Heng Yuwan looked very anxious, looked around a few times but didn't see anyone, she felt that standing at the door was a bit conspicuous, and then took the girl Huan, entered the door of the store, once in, Ning Xueyan couldn't see anything.

When she looked away, she saw that Heng Yuqing had left the teahouse, but she didn't enter the gold jewelry shop opposite. Instead, she hid at the door of the shop on the other side, carefully looking at the door of the gold jewelry shop. I took a few glances.

If Ning Xueyan didn't know that Heng Yuqing was staring at Heng Yuwan, she really couldn't see Heng Yuqing's purpose, and a smile could not help but appear on the corner of her lips. Heng Yuqing looked careless, but in reality You are very careful, you can see from this point...

Suddenly another figure appeared downstairs, Ning Xueyan frowned involuntarily, it turned out to be this person.
