Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 1
Chapter 001 Death (1)
Winter Solstice of Xingping 55 Years in Eastern Jin Dynasty
The sky was gloomy, and there was a cold wind blowing. Yun Xiao felt a faint smell of blood floating in her nose.
On the spacious execution ground, the onlookers had already dispersed. Only a woman in a white dress knelt straight in front of the corpse. She was standing behind two burly nanny wearing the same dress.
The two granny stared coldly at the woman kneeling in the pool of blood. The corner of their lips only smiled coldly.
The woman was about twenty-three or fourteen years old and had an extremely beautiful appearance. However, her small face was pale white. Her tears had already disrupted her line of sight. Her hair was messy, and her thin dress had already been stained with faint blood. However, she did not smell it. She only lowered her head and continued to shed tears.
Her body couldn’t help but tremble, but she still couldn’t help but stretch out her hand and shakily brush past the fleshless corpse in front of her. Her heart was already numb with pain.
This monstrous calamity without warning had killed more than 230 people from the Yun Clan.
Half a month ago, the accusation of collaborating with the Yun Family to betray the country was leaked, and the Yun Family was raided. The women were all dispatched as official prostitutes, and the men were all sent to prison.
Five years ago, Big Brother Yun Lan died miserably on the way to the army. Mother Lu was overwhelmed with grief, and her body never recovered. The next year, Brother Han disappeared on Lunar New Year’s Day and there was no news of her. Mother Lu hung herself on the spot, father was executed, and all the servants in the family were beheaded.
All of this happened in front of her.
The sky was already gloomy. At this moment, a cold wind blew and snowflakes swayed down.
Not long after, snowflakes covered the ground and soon covered the blood stains on the ground.
Yun Xiao could not help but use her hand to brush away the corpse in front of her, as if she could grab something like this.
She didn’t understand why things had turned out like this.
The woman behind him patted the snowflakes on her body. Because her body was shivering, she sneered, “Empress, no, Yun Cairen, it’s time for you to return to the palace.”
Another woman looked at the person who was kneeling in front of her and was covered in snowflakes with disdain. “Yun Cairen, if you want to freeze to death, don’t drag the two of us with you. Your Yun Clan is now completely dead. You are no longer the Empress of yesteryear. The Emperor’s failure to execute you is already an extraordinary kindness. Don’t be ungrateful.”
When Yun Xiao heard this, the corner of her mouth hooked into a cold smile, showing exceptional kindness? What a joke. How could she believe this when she knew the truth at this moment?
The Yun Clan was the biggest imperial merchant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Zhou Jingyan only married him for the sake of the Yun Clan’s wealth to support his bid for the throne. Now that he had ascended the throne as an emperor, what he wanted to get rid of the most was this queen who had been cancelled and made shameful to him.
Yun Xiao looked at the dense white bones one last time, then took off her thin dress and wrapped around her father’s corpse. The only thing she could do for her father now was to let him be buried in peace.
The snowflakes fell on Yun Xiao’s face and head and slowly melted into water droplets. The messy strands of hair were stuck to both sides of her cheeks. Her lips had long been frozen ashen. When she stood up, her body could not hold on any longer and she almost fell down.
None of the two women were willing to support her. Instead, they knelt down at the same time. She was stunned when she heard the voice of the two women in her ear, “Greetings, old servant.”
Yun Xiao raised her head and looked forward. The woman who walked over not far away wore a large red brocade jacket and a pleated skirt of the same color. The group was embroidered with the pattern of broken branches and plum blossoms, and there was a mink fur cloak on the outside.
The woman wore a beautiful bun, with a coral hairpin stuck in her bun, and a large red silk flower on her tail, all of which showed that this woman’s scenery was boundless.
Lan Shuya stroked her slightly bulged lower abdomen and gently walked forward. Her bright eyes carried a hint of pleasure. She walked to Yun Xiao’s side and stepped on the white bone that she had been holding in her arms. “Cousin, you don’t have to bow so much when you see me. Such a white bone is truly frightening.”
After saying that, he immediately kicked the white bone to the side, smiled, and looked at each other tenderly.
Yun Xiao was so anxious that she wanted to hug her father’s white bone. Lan Shuya kicked the white bone again. “Cousin, you said that everyone is dead. What can you do with a white bone? Why don’t you accompany Uncle and the others?”
Yun Xiao hugged her father’s bones tightly in her arms and glared at him angrily, “Lan Shuya, you wasted all my time treating you so well. I gave all of Yun Clan’s possessions to you, yet you pushed our family into an irretrievable land. You are so ruthless.”
Half a month ago, she knew that the Yun Clan had been imprisoned. She was sent to the cold palace. She was demoted from the Empress to a talented person and gave all of the Yun Clan’s wealth to Lan Shuya. She hoped that she could manage the Sino-Korean relations and save her family. She had agreed very well at that time, but in the end, the news of the Yun Clan’s beheading was revealed to the public.
She hated Zhou Jingyan as much as she hated Lan Shuya!
