Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 114
Chapter 114 First Confrontation
Her expression was indifferent and her voice was calm. If she hadn’t seen the suppressed anger in Yun Xiao’s eyes, the man wouldn’t have been able to conceal it. Looking at the conflicted expression on Yun Xiao’s face, there was also a different flavor. When the man heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter.
Hearing the man’s laughter, Yun Xiao’s face became even redder. Her entire expression was a little angry. If she had followed the expression of a few days ago, she would have shouted back. However, after the medicine bath this afternoon, Yun Xiao’s mood was much calmer. She would not get angry easily. She only smiled lightly and ignored it.
The man raised his eyebrows. Seeing that she didn’t say anything, he lost interest. “Don’t tell me fourth young miss doesn’t know that I am also a guest invited by Rong Jin?”
Yun Xiao only smiled faintly and remained silent. Although she did not say anything, she was slightly more surprised by the feeling in her heart.
When Rong Jin saw the confrontation between the two of them, the corner of his mouth slightly raised. “His name is Jiang Qing, and he is also a doctor. Hearing about this matter, he is also very interested, so he will go to the Third Prince’s Mansion with us.”
He explained the matter in a few words. Yun Xiao nodded slightly as a greeting. At this moment, there was no big hindrance. She said indifferently, “I’ll go change clothes first.”
Unexpectedly, Jiang Qing was still looking at Yun Xiao with great interest. “Fourth Young Lady, you don’t have to be so polite to inform us. Let’s just change it like this. There’s nothing left and right that you can’t look at.”
Yun Xiao was slightly annoyed. Seeing that the two of them did not move, she simply turned around and walked behind Rong Jin. Only by borrowing Rong Jin’s figure did Yun Xiao breathe a sigh of relief.
While Yun Xiao was changing clothes, He kept his gaze on Rong Jin and the others in front of him. He was deeply afraid that the two of them would turn around and stare at him for a while. He didn’t see that person turn around. He quickly took off his dress and changed into the clothes that Rong Jin had given him. This dress was dressed as a servant. It was indeed more suitable for him to enter the Third Prince’s mansion with Rong Jin.
After Yun Xiao changed her clothes, Rong Jin took out a piece of human skin and placed the mask in front of Yun Xiao. He smiled and said, “Put it on.”
Yun Xiao graciously said, but she did not resist.
Rong Jin also used a lot of medicine on Yun Xiao’s face. When the mask was done, Yun Xiao touched her cheek and confirmed that she could not find any traces of disguise. Only then did she feel relieved.
After Rong Jin’s figure retreated from his face, Yun Xiao Huang felt a line of sight staring at him. His brows furrowed slightly. When he looked over, he saw that Jiang Qing had been staring in his direction.
With what happened before, Yun Xiao naturally did not want to talk to him. She could only squint her eyes and sleep. Just because Yun Xiao was unwilling to talk did not mean that Jiang Qing did not speak either.
Yun Xiao felt the softness on her side sink. She opened her eyes and met a pair of eyes that flashed with a faint light. Immediately, she quietly moved away a little. She frowned slightly and the anger suppressed in her heart rose again, but Yun Xiao did not say anything.
Jiang Qing curled her lips and smiled. She was amused by Yun Xiao’s series of actions. “Why are you so nervous? I won’t eat you up.”
Yun Xiao opened the corners of her lips and softly said, “Men and women are not willing to accept this position. If you have taken a fancy to this position, why not give it to you?” After saying that, he stood up and left the man’s side. He could still hide if he couldn’t afford to offend him.
Who knew that Jiang Qing would actually follow him again? He smiled and said, “I just want to talk to you for a moment. What are you afraid of?”
Yun Xiao had been teased by him ever since she entered the carriage. Her expression was very embarrassed at this moment, “Young Master said.” Her gaze was once again fixed on Rong Jin. She only remembered one sentence in her mind, “Those who are close to the vermilion are scarlet.” With someone like Rong Jin, his friend naturally wouldn’t be any better.
With this, Yun Xiao calmed down instead.
Jiang Xuan smiled and said, “I just want to say that you are the first woman to have such contact with Rong Jin.”
After hearing this, Yun Xiao did not know why her heart was beating. She did not know what he meant by this sentence. A few days ago, she and Xiao Yuqi were still dining at the same table as Rong Jin. Why did she say that she was the first one? Could it be that Rong Jin wasn’t close to women?
But relying on this period of time, Yun Xiao was certain that Rong Jin was not someone who did not approach women. Moreover, Rong Jin was already old with the birth of a child, so there must be some kind of intimate girl.
Therefore, Yun Xiao only took this sentence as a joke. “I’m honored to say that. Thank you for telling me this news, but I don’t need it.” He and Rong Jin would definitely not be involved in the future. Right now, they were just getting what they needed.
Yun Xiao’s reaction was beyond Jiang Qing’s expectations. He looked at Yun Xiao’s face and finally teased Rong Jin, “Didn’t you think that someone as gentle as you would be disliked by others? That’s beyond my expectations.”
Rong Jin only chuckled and did not respond. Instead, he took out a pill and handed it to Yun Xiao. “This pill can nourish the mind.”
Nurturing the gods? Isn’t he just saying that he hasn’t been resting well lately? It seemed that Rong Jin knew everything about himself. Yun Xiao naturally took it and thanked him softly, ignoring Jiang Qing. In his heart, he had a faint good impression of Rong Jin. However, he had just sprouted and was cut off by Yun Xiao, and his expression did not reveal the slightest bit of peculiarity.
After swallowing the medicine, Yun Xiao loosened her bun and calmly tied her hair into the bun of a servant. With that plain face, no one could tell that she was the fourth young lady of the Yun Family.
Jiang Qing had personally witnessed Yun Xiao’s transformation. Looking at the indistinct warmth between Yun Xiao and Rong Jin, it made people slightly look forward to it.
His eyes blinked slightly, and in the end, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Without Jiang Qing’s words, the carriage quieted down. Only a fist-sized luminous pearl gave off a faint glow that belonged to him in the carriage.
Not long after, the carriage slowly stopped. Yun Xiao raised her head and looked at Rong Jin. Seeing his expression as usual, Yun Xiao was relieved.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside. He stopped in front of the carriage and said respectfully, “Is this Doctor Jin’s carriage?”
When Yun Xiao heard this voice, she knew that it belonged to Steward Li. The three people in the carriage did not say anything, but she heard the coachman say loudly, “My husband is busy.”
Housekeeper Li immediately said respectfully, “Please let Doctor Jin out of the carriage.” Last time, Doctor Jin was the one who cured Master’s serious illness, so he was also very respectful to Doctor Jin.
Rong Jin lifted his robe and stood up. He walked out. Jiang Qing gave Yun Xiao a meaningful look and got out of the carriage. When Yun Xiao saw this, she carried the medicine chest beside her and followed suit.
Standing at the entrance of the Third Prince’s Mansion again, Yun Xiao’s mood was different from last time. Last time, it was to save the Yun Clan, but this time, it was Zhou Jingyan who begged them to save her.
Yun Xiao was very clear about this mansion, so she walked in the corridor again and did not look around. Very quickly, these people walked to the house again. This was also the house that Zhou Jingyan lived in the last time.
Housekeeper Li said respectfully, “Doctor Jin, please wait a moment. This servant will go in and report to me.”
Rong Jin calmly nodded. Yun Xiao also stood and waited. Her heart was beating non-stop. She was about to see Zhou Jingyan again. She would know if Zhou Jingyan was really crippled or if he could be treated.
Just as Yun Xiao was feeling extremely nervous, Jiang Qing slowly paced in front of Yun Xiao and whispered with a smile, “Do you really want to see it? Aren’t you afraid of seeing something that shouldn’t be seen?”
Yun Xiao only glanced at him coldly and didn’t say a word. Fortunately, because of Jiang Qing’s words, Yun Xiao had already calmed down. She definitely had to go in! She wanted to see Zhou Jingyan slowly fail.
However, what if Butler Li didn’t allow him to enter? After all, Zhou Jingyan’s injury was an extremely hidden place. Naturally, the fewer people knew about it, the better. Zhou Jingyan could really do something like this without letting them in.
Yun Xiao’s gaze was slightly cold. Seeing that Rong Jin had already cast a comforting gaze over, her mood immediately calmed down.
Seeing that Yun Xiao still ignored him, Jiang Qing sneered and stopped talking. However, a pair of phoenix eyes quietly sized up the surroundings here.
The door creaked open and Butler Li walked out as well. He said respectfully, “Doctor Jin, the Third Prince invites you in, but you are the only one who can enter.”
The corners of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a faint mockery. Indeed, she had guessed correctly.
When Rong Jin heard this, he only smiled slightly. His gentle expression was obvious, and his ordinary face couldn’t help but be slightly brighter. He nodded at Steward Li and then turned around to leave.
When Yun Xiao and Jiang Qing saw this, a faint smile appeared in their eyes, but it was quickly concealed.
Housekeeper Li didn’t expect things to turn out like this. His expression changed slightly and he immediately chased after him. “Doctor Jin, who are you?”
Rong Jin glanced coldly at Steward Li, his thin lips slightly raised, but his words were not polite at all. “These two are my good friends. Since His Highness the Third Prince can’t trust them, he probably can’t trust me either. The most important thing between the doctor and the patient is trust. Since that’s the case, it’s fine if you don’t look at the illness.”
Hearing this, Butler Li was really anxious. He was about to speak when he heard a round of applause coming from behind him. Butler Li turned his head and saw Zhou Jingyan standing at the door with an elegant expression. He closed his hands. Obviously, the round of applause came from Zhou Jingyan.
Zhou Jingyan winked at Steward Li and said, “Doctor Jin, please come in.”
The corner of Rong Jin’s mouth hooked slightly, and his eyes carried traces of doubt. “Third Highness, don’t you suspect that we have ulterior motives?”
“If Doctor Jin had ulterior motives, he wouldn’t have saved me last time, would he?”
After he finished speaking, the two men exchanged glances and a strange atmosphere flowed out from their bodies. When Yun Xiao saw this, her hands tightly clenched together and her eyes quietly looked at Zhou Jingyan’s lower body.
“Zhou Jingyan, I didn’t expect that we would meet again so soon.”
Jiang Qing naturally observed everyone’s expressions in her heart. She curled her lower lips at Yun Xiao and said to Rong Jin, “Brother Jin, since they invited us in, let’s go in.”
Only then did Rong Jin and Zhou Jingyan withdraw their gazes. The corner of Rong Jin’s lips curled into a smile and he cupped his hands slightly towards Zhou Jingyan. “Third Highness, please!”
Zhou Jingyan nodded. It was only at the moment he turned around that he looked at Yun Xiao as if he had realized nothing. Only then did he walk in. He felt the inquiry in Zhou Jingyan’s eyes. Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly cold. She only thought that Zhou Jingyan had discovered something.
Yun Xiao looked at the back of the three people in front of her, calmed down, and walked in.
