Chapter 610 Honored Consort Xia Is an Ugly Woman

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Back home, Ning Xueyan went straight to Ao Chenyi’s Moon-embracing Tower. Although Ao Chenyi was not there, she still went up to the third floor. Reclining on the couch at the window and looking at the sky outside the window, she felt she was empty but couldn’t tell what the feeling was.

In her previous life, the last scene was a sky stained with blood and the fierce and smug smile of Madam Ling and Ning Ziyan. At that moment, the last moment before her suffocation, she bore great hatred—she hated the reality that the world was so unfair. And she asked herself why she couldn’t see through the ugly looks of those deceivers but believed them so much that she thought all their intents were kind.

In the end, these people even wanted to kill her!

The moment she was reborn, she only wanted to take revenge and let the blood debt paid with blood. She told herself that she would never be as stupid as she was in her previous life, where she believed everyone wholeheartedly and regarded their “wolves’ hearts” as sincere hearts.

“Is it that all will end now! The evil and selfish Ning Ziyan and Xia Yuhang, who plotted against me and is selfish but showed that he was affectionate, will all be left off!

“In fact, the two of them are a perfect match!

“The woman would certainly make Xia Yuhang her man and has viciously weeded out all the women that prevented her from becoming his woman. Of course, their surplus values must be fully used. No doubt, this was also Xia Yuhang’s own idea; otherwise, he would have plotted against Ning Manor and me in vain.”

As for the so-called painting, she had thought it through now. Xia Yuhang thought that she had a relationship with another man and they were the people in the painting. But that was not so important for him. In his eyes, the most important reason was: Madam Ling and Ning Ziyan didn’t know that there should be a “butterfly” birthmark on her, the Great Elder Princess of the previous dynasty.

So, they used a random woman’s body and then put her head on the body, forming an erotic painting. In their eyes, it was enough as long as the excuse was founded on something, for they could make a reasonable explanation for their drowning of her in the end. But Xia Yuhang thought that it was the flaw of Xia Manor’s plot.

Xia Manor must have found from other channels that she was probably the Great Elder Princess, so they made an engagement with Ning Manor. Otherwise, he would have easily married someone else. As a young man with high status, he was famous in the capital, lots of people there wished to let their daughters marry him. And Ning Ziyan’s later performance had made this clear.

“But such a man made an engagement with me, and it was a hasty engagement. At that time, Hua Yunheng must have just left, and the discussion with Hua Manor on the marriage affair was on the way. It was an awkward situation. And Hua Manor had a strong wish to break the engagement, so my father was quite angry. Then, when Minster Xia spoke of building a marriage bond, and my father found that Xia Yuhang was quite promising at such a young age, he immediately agreed.

“That was as a show for Hua Manor to watch: it was not that I couldn’t have a better marriage without Hua Yunheng!

“Unexpectedly, not only Hua Manor but also Xia Manor made the engagement with me for a purpose. The reason why, in the end, Xia Yuhang watched me drowned in the lotus pond was that he didn’t find the ‘butterfly’ birthmark on me. Years of scheming was finally proven done for nothing. Instantly, he vented all his fury and great hatred on me.

“Initially, he might only want to lower my wife’s position to a concubine’s position and would not kill me, but he watched me die in front of him in the end. The main reason is that I made him quite disappointed. All his plots were in vain. All those years, he had taken every step carefully without making any mistakes, or he could almost be sure that I am the princess of the previous dynasty, and he could ‘sell’ me at a good price.

“But when he went to go for his final goal, he was told that the lady he had been keeping with a scheme was just a fake one. Of course, Xia Yuhang, a man who is so selfish and self-righteous, couldn’t bear the failure. As for me, the proof of his failure had better disappear from the world.”

Feeling a bit sore in her nose, she barely closed her watery eyes, suppressing the sadness there. “All will be gone soon!”

“What’s wrong? Tired?” A man’s slightly cold but quite nice voice came, then the upper half of her body was lifted and put into the hard and familiar arms, and the man’s clear and cold air finally surrounded her.

“Oh, not very tired!” Ning Xueyan said lazily, in a little coquettish manner. She leaned closer against him but didn’t open her eyes. Truly, she was not very tired because it was just a visit to the prison.

“Anyone bullied you, then? Someone even bullied you! Go! Take me to see who did it!” An insidious voice with a bloodthirsty tone sounded, showing that he would go and kill the person if Ning Xueyan gave the name.

Seeing such arrogance and such insanity and coldness, Ning Xueyan smiled and felt the softness in her heart as if her unspeakable gloominess and bitterness had all gone. “Someone else would mainly comfort me if he met something like this! Who would be so unruly like him to take me to kill someone?”

But it had untied the numerous emotional entanglements she had.

Her long eyelashes were flapped. When she looked up again, her watery eyes with ripples had become limpid. In the eyes, there was only the image of the nice and handsome man opposite.

“If someone bullies me next time, I’ll take you there! But I solved the problem this time!” Ning Xueyan skewed her head and glanced at him, feeling a little proud.

“You solved it?” Ao Chenyi arched his eyebrows as if he didn’t believe her.

“I solved it. At least, the problem, Ning Ziyan, was solved. Presumably, she won’t let go of Xia Yuhang.” Ning Xueyan nodded prudently, and there seemed to be a relaxed smile in her eyes. The worry she had been having after her rebirth seemed to be gone.

“In fact, you can let me deal with Xia Yuhang.” Ao Chenyi kissed her on the forehead in an evilly charming manner and went to the cushion Ning Xueyan had leaned against just now, but he still held her thin waist tightly, so they fell on the couch together.

She knew that he was sure to guess something. Indeed, she always paid a little too much attention to Xia Yuhang’s affairs. As for her rebirth, that was a secret she couldn’t reveal. Now, she blinked her watery eyes, turned to the side, rested her head in his arms, and held his thin but strong waist with her arms.

“I’ll tell you later, okay?”

These words didn’t seem to refer to anything, but Ao Chenyi surely knew what she meant. Although she couldn’t tell him about her rebirth, she would reveal her current identity to him in the future. Since she was the younger sister of Ning Ziying, it was quite understandable for her to get revenge for her previous self.

“No problem. Anytime you want. I’ll wait!” Ao Chenyi knew what she meant indeed. Rarely, he put a radiant smile on his face and caressed her hair a bit dotingly.

He, a man who controlled the Imperial Guards, definitely knew that Ning Xueyan paid excessive attention to the affairs of Xia Yuhang of Xia Manor. But his Yan’er had scruples and didn’t want to tell him, so he didn’t mind. At least, she didn’t cheat him and had even said without reservation that she did care about Xia Yuhang’s affairs. Now she was so happy that her thin, long eyes turned misty and smiled.

With grave sadness, he held the thin and weak woman in his arms, who was light, soft, and always so thin.

“Did Honored Consort Xia also visit you that day when you were in the imperial palace?” Ning Xueyan asked. That day, after she left the palace, Ao Chenyi was then summoned to the palace by the emperor, and Prince Xiang and Prince Fu were also summoned there. That night, they had a long discussion in the study of the emperor. When Ao Chenyi was home, Ning Xueyan had fallen asleep.

And Ao Chenyi left early this morning, so Ning Xueyan still didn’t know about it now.

“Yes, she dispatched a palace maid, but I asked someone to throw her to the empress’s place.” Ao Chenyi arched his eyebrows coldly with disgust.

“The maid of Honored Consort Xia was thrown to the empress’s place? Although the situation was messy that day, it would cause suspicions if a maid of another palace appeared in the palace of the empress!

“Honored Consort Xia is a favored consort, but the empress is the mistress of the imperial harem. No matter what, she would not simply allow the maid of another palace to do eavesdropping.

“This seems wrong! Is it so simple?”

She blinked and looked up at Ao Chenyi in surprise, asking, “You killed her?”

“Well, to a servant sent out to plot against me by a bitch with delusions, I would not show mercy.” Ao Chenyi put a smile on his lips, but it was a little cold.

“He killed the maid and threw her into the empress’s palace. Now the imperial palace is definitely in a great disturbance. And this has connections with the empress and Honored Consort Xia. One is the official wife of the emperor, and the other is the consort who has been favored by the emperor for years. More importantly, the favored consort never shows up in public. But when she meets something like this, will she choose to come out?”

Remembering that Honored Consort Xia was a woman who did things stealthily, tried to remain mysterious, and didn’t want others to see her, Ning Xueyan just felt speechless. “Honored Consort Xia is never a good person.”

“She wanted me to see you were with her, right?” Ning Xueyan thought about it and asked while blinking. With a faint smile, she looked at the treacherous but handsome eyes of Ao Chenyi.

“Not only her. Some others covet the gains ahead but forget the danger behind. An ugly woman who regards herself as wise. Does she really think she is the treasure that everyone wants to compete to get?”

“Honored Consort Xia is an ugly woman?” Ning Xueyan was speechless. “If Honored Consort Xia is ugly, which woman can say she herself is beautiful?” She turned her jade-black eyes. “Surely, no one is beautiful in his eyes, but it is understandable. He is used to seeing his unparalleled beautiful face in the mirror, so almost everyone is ugly in his view.”

“Of course, you are the most beautiful treasure of mine, Yan’er!” he added, when he saw the slightly pouted pinkish lips of Ning Xueyan. Besides, he also kissed her pretty nose.

Ning Xueyan burst out smiling. At the moment, Ao Chenyi was no longer the bloodthirsty devil. Instead, he was just a young child. After talking, he even behaved a little like someone currying favor. He was like a child wanting to get rewards from the adults after doing something good. Anyway, he looked cute.

“Was the imperial palace in a great mess today?” Ning Xueyan asked curiously. “With that style, Honored Consort Xia doesn’t seem to be willing to see others easily. Then how can this case be investigated? The emperor will investigate it himself? That will be quite interesting. As the emperor of a nation, he doesn’t go to deal with the military and state affairs in the court but worries so much about the trivial matters of the imperial harem. Then, he is so pathetic!”

“Messy, quite messy! I’m going to the imperial palace again in a while. Are you going with me, Yan’er?” Ao Chenyi said with a cold smile. At the moment, his eyes turned cold, and his lips looked bloodthirsty with a strong dangerous air.

Ning Xueyan was not afraid of him. Under the long eyelashes, her bright eyes were turned flexibly. “Okay, I’m going with you.”

She had a strong wish to see Senior Nun Jing Kong in the imperial palace.
