Chapter 619: Chapter 617 Design 1_1

"Do you think admitting your mistake is going to help you?" Mrs. Xia Ning had no intention of letting her off, "Guards, take her down and let her taste what it’s like to have juice poured over her head!"

Protective as she was, Mrs. Xia Ning didn’t care whether it was intentional or not; daring to bully her daughter meant there would be a price to pay!

Hmm.

That was precisely how unreasonable she could be!

"Yes," the guard immediately stepped forward to drag the servant girl away.

"Family Head, I really am sorry, please spare me this time!" the servant girl pleaded as she knelt and prostrated herself on the ground, begging for mercy again.

Mrs. Xia Ning, caring solely for her precious daughter and grandchild, showed no trace of compassion and urged impatiently, "It hurts my ears to listen to this racket, take her away quickly."

"Wait," just then, Xia Ningxing spoke, "Master, I believe she made an unintentional mistake, and since she didn’t cause any serious trouble, let her go for now."

To those who knew her, it seemed that Xia Ningxing was pleading for the servant girl, yet a hint of peculiarity flashed in her eyes, as if she was deliberately letting her go.

Although Mrs. Xia Ning hadn’t spent much time with Xia Ningxing, they were mother and daughter after all, and quickly understood each other’s intentions.

The reason this servant girl had poured juice on her head was probably part of a plot!

The ground was flat with no water or obstacles, so how could this servant girl manage to spill the juice all over Xia Ningxing’s head out of nowhere?

Could there be an even bigger conspiracy at play?

Therefore, to unravel the plot, they needed to temporarily spare this servant girl.

Mrs. Xia Ning thought it over and, as if persuaded by Xia Ningxing, sighed, "My foolish disciple, you are too kind-hearted, but very well, since my disciple has personally pleaded for you, I cannot refuse her face. Your punishment is waived this time, but there will be no mercy if there is a next time!"

The servant girl shuddered in fright and promptly assured, "Family Head, rest assured, I dare not do it again in the future."

"Alright, get out, you’re an eyesore," Mrs. Xia Ning dismissed with a wave of her hand, disdain in her motion, but she discreetly signaled to a trusted guard with a look.

Upon receiving the hint, that guard immediately followed the servant girl, watchful.

He was specially trained, so the servant girl did not notice anyone was tailing her.

Before long, the guard returned and whispered a few words in Mrs. Xia Ning’s ear.

"How audacious!" Whatever he had said, after hearing it, Mrs. Xia Ning slammed the table, furiously fuming, and her originally lovely brows instantly tightened.

They dared commit such an act!

Malignant!

It was simply too vile!

If they had succeeded, Xia Ningxing would have surely been disgraced, becoming the laughingstock among all circles.

"Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, it’s not worth harming your health," Xia Ningxing soothed as she patted Mrs. Xia Ning’s shoulder.

Mrs. Xia Ning’s rage gradually subsided, but she was still furious.

She knew that to some extent everyone in the family had their own schemes, but she had not expected them to go this far.

Then Xia Ningxing said, "Mother, Lu, my hair is filthy; I’m going to take a bath first, you continue eating."

Mrs. Xia Ning and Lu Tingli immediately understood her meaning, nodding their heads without stopping her.

"Goodbye, Mommy," the little guy waved his tiny hand.

After Xia Ningxing entered the bathroom, a servant specially assigned for bathing began to run the water.

While running the water, she glanced at Xia Ningxing as if by accident, and said with an envious tone, "Miss Xia’s skin is really white, just like freshly made tofu."

If you looked carefully, you’d notice that this person was surreptitiously sizing up Xia Ningxing, as if searching for something on her body.

"Thank you," Xia Ningxing accepted the compliment with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Miss Xia is too kind." After filling up the bath, the servant bowed her head respectfully and retreated without any sign of irregularity, as though nothing was amiss.

But if someone were outside at this moment, they would have discovered that the servant did not return to the servants’ rest area, but instead hurried to another location—the gathering place of Ning Xiaoyou and others.

"How did it go?" As soon as she entered, Ning Xiaoyou and the others immediately inquired.

That’s right!

Whether it was the person who had just spilled juice on Xia Ningxing or the maid at present, they had all been bribed.

The maid instantly said, "I found it, there is a red birthmark on Xia Ningxing’s left chest."

Earlier, when she had been watching Xia Ningxing, she was in fact looking for any distinctive marks on her body.

Everyone burst into laughter: "Ha-ha! Who would have thought it would go so smoothly!"

When they had been planning to frame Xia Ningxing for cheating, they prepared a story that she used sordid means to seduce the examiners to obtain the answers.

But the most important part of this plan was to get a hold of the distinctive marks on Xia Ningxing’s body, especially the hidden ones; that way, they could favorably allege that Xia Ningxing had indeed committed such despicable acts for the exam... Otherwise, how could anyone know such a private birthmark?

By then, her position as Family Head would surely be lost!

The thought alone made everyone present unable to suppress their smug smiles, as if they could already see Xia Ningxing being pulled down from her high horse.

"I can hardly wait!" Ning Xiaoyou could hardly wait to burst out and bring Xia Ningxing to ruin.

After all, the examiners had also been bought off.

Now everything was ready.

All that was left was to expose her!

"Now is not the time," someone stopped her.

"Then when is the right time?" Ning Xiaoyou frowned, instinctively retorting.

The person sneered cunningly, "Of course, it’s when a person is at their most glorious. Exposing her scandal at that time, watching her spit out the meat that reached her mouth, isn’t that more delightful!"

"You’re absolutely right!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Xiaoyou’s eyes lit up, flashing with malice beyond her years.

Just as she was about to ascend to the position of Family Head, just as she was about to reach the peak, but in the end could only fall from grace disgracefully; at that time, it would surely cause Xia Ningxing more pain than her death.

Just the thought of Xia Ningxing in agony made her feel refreshed, as if her spirit was uplifted and her mood was buoyant!

Two days later, on the third morning, the Ning Family was conducting the Family Head coronation ceremony.

At this time, all of Xia Ningxing’s relatives and close friends had been invited to attend.

The Ning Family is an ancient clan, and the ceremonial attire is traditional, so today’s protagonist, Mrs. Xia Ning, was wearing an ancient dress with a crossed collar.

Classical yet not lacking in luxury, demure yet not gaudy.

One could say this dress had the purity of a lotus flower that rises unsoiled from mud and the brilliance of a blooming begonia.

The dress was made of fine gauze, glimmering with every step, as if countless tiny diamonds were scattered upon it, dazzling to the eye.

Generally speaking, such a glittery dress could easily diminish the presence of its wearer, making one see only the dress, marveling at its beauty.
