Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 119

Chapter 119 No Longer Endure
A luxuriously decorated carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the Duke Xiao’s mansion. Zhou Jingyan opened the curtains and got off the carriage. He looked deeply at the plaque in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, bringing with them a trace of light.

The doorman of the Duke of Xiao’s Mansion was originally dazed. Suddenly, he saw a noble young master parked outside the mansion. He immediately woke up from his shock. He wanted to go up and reprimand him. When he saw the visitor’s face, he immediately greeted him respectfully, “This servant greets the Third Prince.”

Only then did Zhou Jingyan feel that he was too impulsive. When he arrived at the Duke Xiao’s Mansion in the middle of the night, someone would definitely say something when they saw him. But now, he couldn’t help but feel angry in his heart.

Previously, he had been holding back from coming to find Xiao Yuqi. He could still endure the depths of the city. However, after being teased tonight, all the anger in his heart erupted. “Please inform me that I want to see the Duke of the Kingdom and your big girl.”

In the middle of the night, although the porter complained bitterly, he naturally did not dare to neglect him and invited Zhou Jingyan into the manor first.

The Duke of the Nation’s Manor was also tormented by Zhou Jingyan’s arrival. Duke Xiao was originally gentle in his wife’s room, but he was suddenly knocked on by the guards outside. He felt depressed in his heart. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Madam Xiao immediately hooked Duke Xiao with her legs.

With the beauty in his arms, Duke Xiao was unwilling to leave. He raised his voice and shouted to the outside, “What’s the matter?”

A maidservant walked in from outside the door and stopped after saluting outside the screen. “Reporting to the matriarch and madam, the guard said that the Third Prince has come to our mansion, indicating that he wants to see the Duke and the young lady.”

The moment Duke Xiao heard that the Third Prince was here, his expression changed slightly. He immediately let out a sigh and pushed Madam Xiao away. He took the outer robe and walked out while wearing it. “Third Prince wants to see Yuqi?”

The maidservant naturally did not dare to conceal anything. She told him everything she had heard. Duke Xiao frowned repeatedly when he heard this. He hurriedly thought about what he had done all these years in his mind. He did not know why the Third Prince had come at this time.

However, since the Third Prince had come, he did not dare to neglect it. He cleaned up and walked out.

After Duke Xiao left, Madam Xiao sat up on the bed and asked the maidservant to wipe off all traces on her body with a handkerchief. Then she began to dress. “Did you find out why the Third Prince came to our mansion to look for Xiao Yuqi?”

A few days ago, someone suddenly came from the palace. After giving Xiao Yuqi two boxes of valuables, it was clear that they were all given to Xiao Yuqi. She only found out after inquiring about them that not only did her daughter not go to the temple to pray for blessings, she even went into the palace to ask for orders for Yun Clan. When Madam Xiao heard about these things, she was naturally angry. She had been making things difficult for Xiao Yuqi for the past few days.

However, he didn’t expect that the Third Prince would actually indicate that he wanted to see Xiao Yuqi in the middle of the night. Now that the Third Prince, Zhou Jingyan, had reached the age of Consort Li, he had no choice but to make her think too much. After pondering for a while, he immediately said, “Go invite the Second Young Lady to come as well and let the Second Young Lady dress up properly.”

Xiao Yuqi was only a descendant left behind by the former madam. The current Mrs. Xiao Wang was just a maidservant beside Xiao Yuqi’s mother. After Madam Xiao opened her face and became Duke Xiao’s concubine, she quickly grabbed Duke Xiao’s heart. Duke Xiao mentioned her as Duke Xiao’s wife. This was a great thing for her. All these years, she had deliberately shown great kindness in front of Duke Xiao. However, Duke Xiao had no way of knowing what she had done to Xiao Yuqi privately.

Her daughter’s beauty was about to reach marriageable age, so she was very angry that the Third Prince was referring to Xiao Yuqi instead of her own daughter.

Although the Third Prince’s status as a mother and concubine was not high, he had a foster mother. No matter what, she was still a prince. The Duke’s Mansion of Xiao Country had been in ruins in recent years. It would be good if he could pull the Third Prince’s red thread.

Madam Xiao quickly put on her clothes and asked the maidservant to dress herself properly. After that, she also went out. She wanted to see what kind of person the Third Prince was first.

Zhou Jingyan was invited into the main hall. A maidservant waited on him. When he drank a cup of tea, Duke Xiao finally arrived. “Greetings, Third Prince.”

Zhou Jingyan extended his hand to help Duke Xiao up with a gentle smile. “Duke Xiao, you’re welcome. I came late at night to bring trouble to Duke Xiao.”

Duke Xiao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and mixed in a few words with Zhou Jingyan Han before saying, “I wonder if the Third Prince is here today to ask for it?”

Zhou Jingyan said with a shy expression, “Speaking of which, it’s also my fault. I accidentally met Miss Xiao in the palace a few days ago and had a conversation. I was deeply impressed by Miss Xiao’s literary talent. Miss Xiao left behind a question before leaving. I thought for a few days and finally remembered it tonight. I can’t wait to come. I hope the Duke will forgive me.”

Duke Xiao heard this, A faint light flashed in his eyes. Now that her eldest daughter Xiao Yuqi had reached the age of marriage, He actually had such a friendship with the Third Prince, and the Third Prince came late at night. Just because of this friendship, he felt that with Xiao Duke’s status, Xiao Yuqi would be able to sit in the position of Third Prince’s Consort. However, thinking of this, he said with a serious expression, “Third Prince, you’re welcome. It’s not like this little girl would make things difficult for the Third Prince.”

Right at this moment, a light blue Eight Answers Spring Brocade dress came into the main hall. Her hair was gently tied up, and her powder was lightly applied. She was extremely beautiful. Her watery eyes shone with a faint light. She was indeed a rare beauty.

However, when Zhou Jingyan saw Xiao Yuqi enter, his gaze shivered slightly. The woman in front of him and the woman who had stabbed him in the palace did not look right.

Since Zhou Jingyan recognized that Xiao Yuqi was not the Xiao Yuqi he knew, he no longer had any interest in staying here. He was quite shrewd, but no one noticed the change in his mood.

After Xiao Yuqi walked in, she also looked at Zhou Jingyan with a faint inquiry in her eyes. She did not know what Zhou Jingyan was doing here late at night. Although Zhou Jingyan concealed it well, Xiao Yuqi still saw the disappointment in his eyes. But why?

She remembered that after she left the manor a few days ago, she was injured after assassinating Yun Xiao. She used the excuse that she had been kidnapped after leaving the manor. It seemed that something was wrong in those few days. “Greetings to the Third Prince.”

Zhou Jingyan had already recognized that this woman was not the person he was looking for, so he was no longer interested. After speaking for a while and explaining the answer to the puzzle, he took his leave and left. Xiao Yuqi, who was still in the room with a puzzled expression, was left behind. When had she ever asked Zhou Jingyan a question?

Duke Xiao waited for Zhou Jingyan to leave before smiling and saying to Xiao Yuqi, “Yuqi, you’re going to be fifteen years old after flipping through the years. If you have such a good opportunity, you have to grasp it.”

Hearing Duke Xiao’s words, Xiao Yuqi understood what he was thinking. She smiled and replied, “Thank you, father, for your concern. Daughter understands.” However, Xiao Yuqi was still very puzzled in her heart. At this moment, she was a little more confused about this world.

Ever since she was reborn in ancient times, She realized that there were not only modern desserts here, but also modern beauty pills. She checked to find out that these things were passed down by Yunxiao and county princess Hui Ning. County princess Hui Ning was very easy to check. If Yunxiao hadn’t asked Rong Jin to give her a 30% bonus contract, she would have wasted a lot of effort looking for this person.

She suspected that Yunxiao and county princess Hui Ning had also crossed over like herself, but after observing their behavior, she suppressed this suspicion. Since they did not cross over like her, then it was very likely that they were reborn. With these two people suppressing her, how could she stand out in ancient times?

Therefore, after guessing this news, she began to assassinate Yun Xiao. The reason why she picked up Yun Xiao first was because the defense around her was relatively weak. In addition, a few days ago, she accidentally learned that someone wanted to kill Yun Xiao as well, so she wanted to pick up a fisherman’s advantage. Who would have thought that Yun Xiao would plot against her in the end?

During her trip to the Xiangguo Temple, when she assassinated Yun Xiao, she did not expect to encounter a group of people who wanted to assassinate Yun Xiao again, so she also hid and prepared to find an opportunity to attack. Who knew that Yun Xiao would escape in the end?

It was also because of this that she felt that Rong Jin was not an ordinary person. As for Zhou Jingyan, the moment they exchanged glances, she also noticed that Zhou Jingyan was no longer as idle as outsiders said.

At this moment, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door. When she raised her eyes, she saw wang shi and Xiao Yufeng dressed in dazzling clothes.

Just as Wang shi and Xiao Yufeng walked in, they looked left and right. However, they didn’t see Zhou Jingyan in the main hall after looking for a while. Only Xiao Yuqi was here.

Mrs. Wang frowned and said unhappily, “Where are the Duke and the Third Prince?”

When Xiao Yuqi saw this, the corners of her mouth curled up and she smiled faintly, “Father and Third Prince have already left. Is there anything wrong with mother and sister?”

When Wang shi and Xiao Yufeng heard this, they were stunned. Obviously, they did not expect that in this short period of time, those people would leave in unison. Then who were they dressed so delicately to meet?

“Xiao Yuqi, to be honest, why did the Third Prince come to the manor to call for you? I didn’t expect that after only a few days of leniency, you forgot our Xiao Clan’s family law and went around cheating on me. You hurt my heart too much,” Wang shi said with a slightly twisted delicate makeup.

With tears in her eyes, she took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuqi’s expression did not change at all. Instead, she touched the corner of her lips and said coldly, “Mother, father is not here. Is the play enough? If it is enough, then I will go back first.”

Neither Wang shi nor Xiao Yufeng expected Xiao Yuqi to react in such a manner. They were slightly stunned for a moment before they saw Xiao Yuqi walking out.

Mrs. Wang was lectured like this by Xiao Yuqi. She felt embarrassed, Her face turned green and white. Xiao Yufeng’s expression was not much better. After learning from wang shi that the Third Prince had come to the mansion, Xiao Yufeng happily opened her hazy sleeping eyes and sat up from the bed to dress up. Who would have thought that such meticulousness would ruthlessly expose their faces without even meeting the Third Prince’s face?

Father isn’t here either. She’s used to bullying Xiao Yuqi again. She immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Xiao Yuqi. “You bitch, what nonsense are you talking about? Mother treats you so well. Who would have thought that you would have a white-eyed wolf? Xiao Yuqi, apologize to Mother immediately!”

Xiao Yuqi inherited the original owner’s memories. In her memories, the mother and daughter thought of ways to torture herself every day, but she still couldn’t let herself say anything bitter. Now, she didn’t intend to hide it anymore. She just snorted coldly and looked at Xiao Yufeng coldly. Then, she reached out and hit Xiao Yufeng’s delicate face.

Xiao Yufeng looked at Xiao Yuqi in disbelief. All the disguises disappeared at this moment. “Xiao Yuqi, you bitch, you actually dare to hit me?”

Xiao Yuqi only sneered. She raised her hand again and slapped Xiao Yufeng’s other half of the face. She smiled and said, “This is good. The two sides are symmetrical. It looks much better than before.” ‘”Xiao Yufeng, I advise you not to waste your effort. I am my sister, yet you dare to call her by her name. Just treat these two slaps as my teaching you how to learn etiquette. Don’t worry, no tuition fees will be charged.” Xiao Yufeng smiled mockingly when she saw Xiao Yufeng rushing up to hit her. “Next time you see me, remember to call me elder sister,” she said with a faint smile on her exquisite face.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. However, there was a trace of killing intent in the depths of her eyes. If her guess was correct, it must be Yun Xiao who borrowed her identity to plead for mercy in the palace. As for the two people in front of her, she did not put them in her eyes.
