Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 112
Chapter 112 Reputation As A Measure
The drizzling rain fell from the sky. A cold wind blew, as if someone was howling outside. The shrill voice made the listeners shiver. Many people looked at the wind in fear and stopped.
In such a cold environment, a horse carriage slowly walked on the street, completely ignoring the cold wind around it. However, every step of the horse carriage was extremely difficult. Even so, the horse carriage did not have the slightest intention of stopping.
However, this carriage did not notice that a carriage was chasing after her. However, the carriage was not far from her, so it was very difficult for others to notice it.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a restaurant. The carriage door opened. The carriage in the thick bamboo hat immediately jumped out of the carriage. Not long after, a woman walked out of the carriage. The person in the carriage was wearing a light red dress. His long black hair was tied into a beautiful bun, and was firmly fixed to his head with an extremely exquisite golden bird hairpin. Next to the bun, there were a few gemstones the size of a fingernail.
The woman covered her face with Mu Li. Her figure was graceful and her waist was soft. As she walked, she attracted the attention of many people. Many people cast curious gazes at her.
However, the woman did not look at the others. The maidservant wearing a long green dress walked out of the carriage, holding a cloak inlaid with purple mouse hair in her hand. Just a single glance at this cloak made one’s eyes shine.
Yu Tan put the cape on the beautiful woman’s shoulder and smiled. “Miss, I didn’t expect that the weather would become so bad in just a few days. You must take good care of yourself.”
The beauty responded indifferently. She walked towards the restaurant and was blocked by a figure just as she entered. “Young lady, stop!”
Lan Shuya raised her head to look at the man in front of her. When she noticed who the person in front of her was, her gaze couldn’t help but flash with a trace of alienation. However, she still said softly, “Young Master Yun.”
Yun Yang had always thought that Lan Shuya was a woman like Yun Xiao. It’s annoying, and often came to the door, Every time I go back, I bring a bunch of stuff, Therefore, he was very displeased with Lan Shuya and did not look at her. However, when he saw Lan Shuya’s curling figure in his expression, he couldn’t help but recall that when the woman in front of him was suppressed by him at the Xiangguo Temple that day, he had never seen the Ice Muscle Jade Skin that he had seen before when he had admired many beauties.
Thinking of that day’s scene, she felt that her body was getting hotter. There was actually a trace of a reaction. However, he held his own identity, so he wouldn’t reveal his true thoughts in front of Lan Shuya. He took a step forward and said in a very formal manner, “I didn’t expect to meet Miss Lan today. Why don’t I treat Miss Lan to dinner?”
Lan Shuya thought of what she was going to do, so she did not refute. So she nodded and followed Yun Yang upstairs.
After the two of them disappeared from the hall, a carriage slowly stopped in front of the restaurant.
A small figure got out of the carriage. A soft and waxy face was full of smiles. He looked around as if he was looking at something.
Just as Rong Ruo was sizing it up, Rong Jin walked down and smiled, “What are you looking at?”
Rong Ruo said discontentedly, “I’m looking to see if Mother is here.”
Rong Jin reached out and rubbed Rong Ruo’s hair before saying, “Go in. Your mother will come back later.”
Rong Ruo’en said and stopped talking. She was very happy to see her mother in her heart.
At this moment, Yun Xiao also went out with Chun Lan. She got off the carriage at the entrance of a clothing store. When she saw that there was indeed someone following her, the corner of her mouth curled into a wicked smile. She then saw the clothing store. After talking to Lady Su, she turned around and walked out the back door. Not long later, she also entered the inn in disguise.
Yun Xiao disguised herself as a maidservant and took a few steps in the corridor. Suddenly, she seemed to hear a familiar voice. She immediately stopped and leaned over to the door to listen to Yun Yang’s voice. “What did you say? You won’t marry me? Don’t you think there’s another man who can marry you if you don’t marry me?”
Lan Shuya saw that Yun Yang was like this. She already knew that this man had such a reaction. She tightened her grip and smiled. “Not many people knew about what happened that day. As long as those people were all dealt with, naturally no one would know about this matter.” Her target was the Imperial Concubine, the highest position. How could she be willing to marry a son of a merchant that she despised?
“Deal with it? Miss Lan is really loud. Who do you think they are that day? Let’s deal with them as you please. Not to mention Miss Lan’s appearance, even if I want to marry her back, the people of Yun Clan will agree.” Although she did not like Lan Shuya, her appearance and figure were fascinating.
Of course, the thing that made Yun Yang most uncomfortable was that he was the one who had come to talk about this matter today, but he didn’t expect Lan Shuya to take the lead. Did that mean that he was actually disliked by this woman? This knowledge caused Yun Yang’s heart to feel as if it was blocked by a thorn.
Seeing Yun Yang’s expression, Lan Shuya knew that if she didn’t make a move, it would be impossible for her to ask this man to help her uncover what had happened that day. Moreover, now that her father knew about it, the Lan family was very angry. Now she had to endure the mockery of her father and Madam Lan every day.
With such an unparalleled appearance, how could she be willing to marry a romantic son of a merchant? As long as the Yun Clan did not come forward to confirm it, she believed that the rumors about herself would quickly disappear by herself. Just like the matter of Yun Xiao and Shen Yingfan retreating from their marriage back then, wasn’t it gradually forgotten by others now?
However, she also knew that if she did not give Yun Yang some sweetness, this man would not agree to cooperate with her. She said coldly, “Young Master Yun is a businessman. Businessmen value profit. Young Master Yun should make a price.” As long as this matter was exposed, she would have a way to make a comeback!
Yun Yang hadn’t expected Lan Shuya to confess so frankly. He was very angry in his heart. However, in the past few days, he had gathered all of Madam Sun, Yun Yao and his silver. In the end, he discovered that there was only 9,000 silver taels, and there was still a gap of 200,000 silver taels.
Nine thousand taels of silver could be given to dozens of families for a lifetime, and the mother and son had saved so much silver, it was truly shocking.
Of course, these 9,000 taels of silver were definitely not all the savings of the three of them. The three of them would leave some way for them to retreat. Right now, someone was just about to give him some silver, so why didn’t he do it? “Since that’s the case, Miss Lan will take out 200,000 taels of silver.”
When Lan Shuya heard this number, no matter how calm she was, she was still completely confused. “What did you say? Why didn’t you steal it?” She counted all her silver and only got 20,000 taels of silver. However, she did not expect that Yun Yang in front of her would actually say 200,000 taels of silver!
Yun Yang snorted coldly, “What? Do you think the price I’m talking about is too high? But don’t you think, just based on Miss Lan’s appearance, what kind of man do you want? Marrying someone is a lifetime matter, Miss Lan must think about it clearly.”
Lan Shuya’s hands were tightly clenched together, but she could not say anything. Yun Yang was indeed right. If she married the prince, how could 200,000 taels of silver be compared? This was simply incomparable!
However, even if he sold himself for 200,000 taels of silver now, he wouldn’t be able to take out so much silver!
Yun Yang’s ability to detect words and expressions had increased recently. Seeing that Lan Shuya’s face was loose, she chuckled lightly, “Just 200,000 taels of silver. Just because Miss Lan doesn’t have it doesn’t mean that no one else has it. Miss Lan and my fourth sister have always had a good relationship. Fourth sister is in charge of the financial situation of Yun Clan. As long as fourth sister is willing to help, is Miss Lan afraid that she won’t be able to take out 200,000 taels of silver?”
When Lan Shuya heard Yun Yang’s words, her eyes flashed. This was indeed a good idea. However, in recent days, Yun Xiao did not know why she had started to alienate herself, but she would not let this opportunity slip by!
She wanted to marry the prince and the future Emperor. Only that supreme position was suitable for her!
This had always been Lan Shuya’s goal. She would not give up on this goal because of this. As for the man in front of her, Lan Shuya narrowed her eyes slightly. She would definitely make this man pay the price he deserved!
“Alright, I promise you, how long is the time limit?”
When Yun Yang heard Lan Shuya agree, a smile flashed across his eyes. Fortunately, Lan Shuya had deceived him. As long as he took the money, what did it matter if he remarried Lan Shuya? In any case, the last of the silver came from the Yun Clan.
In such a situation, he could kill two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, the corner of Yun Yang’s mouth involuntarily smiled. “Half a month, I’ll give you half a month’s time. If you can’t do it, then I’ll invite someone to propose marriage to the Lan Manor. At that time, Miss Lan will really have to settle down with me.”
When Lan Shuya heard this, she bit her lower lip tightly. She stood up and was about to turn around to leave. However, she didn’t expect that her hand would be tightly grabbed by someone just as she moved. One of them couldn’t stand firmly. Lan Shuya took a step back. She tripped over something and fell in Yun Yang’s direction.
The corner of Yun Yang’s mouth curled into a chuckle. He reached out and hugged Lan Shuya’s waist. After carefully groping her waist with his big hand, he smiled and said, “Miss Lan, why are you so careless?”
The corner of Lan Shuya’s mouth twitched. She felt a pair of big hands moving around her waist. She felt a nausea in her heart. She struggled hard, but she did not struggle away. It made her feel very uncomfortable. She shouted angrily, “Yun Yang, let go of me!” I promised you two hundred thousand taels of silver, and our relationship ends here. I don’t want any more rumors to spread. ”
Yun Yang snorted coldly and whispered, “Our cooperation will not take effect until you give me the 200,000 taels of silver in half a month. So now that there are rumors, what if there are more?”
Lan Shuya’s body trembled slightly. She glared fiercely at Yun Yang. However, Yun Yang didn’t have the slightest bit of deterrence from that beautiful face. He stretched out his hand to feel the icy skin again, but he suddenly sensed an icy cold thing pressing against his neck. His hand was stiff and didn’t dare to fall down again. “Miss Lan, if you have something to say, don’t be impulsive.”
Lan Shuya said coldly, “Let go of me!”
Although Yun Yang was angry in his heart, But he was really afraid of that hairpin, After getting up, Lan Shuya looked at Yun Yang’s face. She really wanted to stab the jade hairpin down, but she was afraid that after the jade hairpin was stabbed down, the consequences would be out of her control. “Yun Yang, remember, if you do anything unfavorable to me these days, I will definitely not let you go!”
