Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Teach Yun Lan

“Squeak!” The door opened and Rong Ruo, who was dressed in a moonlight white children’s robe, walked in. He walked in as if no one was around. He held a bowl of soup in his hand and finally sighed. He walked to the side of the bed and looked at the pale-faced Yun Xiao with an unhappy expression. “Mother, get up and take your medicine.”

When Yun Xiao saw that Rong Ruofen’s tender face was filled with displeasure, she couldn’t help but reveal a smile. She supported herself and sat up. Rong Ruo obediently placed Ruan Bei behind Yun Xiao.

When Yun Xiao saw this, a smile flashed in the depths of her eyes. She reached out and rubbed Rong Ruo’s hair. Then she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, mother will be fine soon.”

After fresh blood appeared on her face yesterday, she dreamt of her previous life. All the scenes in her previous life were constantly circulating in her mind. She only remembered the scene of her father’s bones being held in her arms as she watched her child being trampled to death, as well as the corpse behind the Lu Clan’s cantilever …

After receiving Yun Xiao’s assurance, Rong Ruo revealed a small face. After Yun Xiao drank the medicine, she smiled and said, “Mother, do you have anything you want to eat now? Ruo Ruo wants someone to cook it for you.”

Yun Xiao touched Rong Ruo’s head. Her eyes were filled with affection. She had placed all her feelings for Nuo Nuo on Rong Ruo. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have woken up when Rong Ruo cried and called her mother. “Mother doesn’t want to eat anything now. You can go play with Brother Han first. Mother will rest for a while.”

After returning last night, Yun Xiao couldn’t sleep, and her mind was filled with scenes from her previous life. She sat at the window for a night, so she caught a cold.

Just as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps coming from the door. Brother Han, Madam Lu, and Yun Lan also appeared at the door. When Brother Han and Madam Lu saw Yun Xiao’s weakness, their eyes were filled with tears. Yun Lan was calm.

Yun Xiao looked at the tearful Lu Clan and Brother Han in front of her and helplessly exchanged glances with Yun Lan. She also saw the worry in Yun Lan’s eyes.

With great difficulty, Lu shi stopped crying. Yun Xiao smiled and said, “Mother, if you continue crying, I’ll have to move the things in the house out.”

Madam Lu was slightly stunned and immediately asked, “Why?”

“Because mother’s tears are too much. She’s going to flooded everything in my room. Of course, she’s going to move out.”

Even though Madam Lu said that, her face was already full of smiles.

After a few more conversations, Yun Xiao finally coaxed Madam Lu and the others away. When Madam Lu left, she repeatedly warned Yun Xiao that she must recover properly. As for the family matters, she let Yun Lan handle them first. For this reason, she even left Yun Lan behind.

After Madam Lu left, Yunxiao glanced at Rong Ruo. Rong Ruo obediently dragged Brother Han out to talk with her.

Yun Xiao let Yun Lan sit at the side, then smiled and said, “Big brother, it’s been a long time since we’ve talked together.” It was also the matter with the Yun Clan that made Yun Xiao once again feel a sense of crisis.

No matter how well he was prepared, there were still some parts that he had missed, and the enemy could take advantage of this opportunity to attack him.

Thinking of this, a trace of regret flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes. The current Yun Clan was truly embattled on all sides.

Yun Lan pondered for a while. He looked at Yun Xiao’s expression and sighed, “I don’t want to go into business, but such a big thing has happened at home now. I won’t leave. Sister can rest assured that I won’t leave when you and Mother are in danger.”

When Yun Xiao heard this, she heaved a sigh of relief. Yun Xiao was much more relieved to see Yun Lan’s words. However, Yun Xiao’s gaze was slightly sharp. She then looked at Yun Lan and said, “Big brother, I heard that you received a letter from the Third Prince a few days ago. Is that so?”

When Yun Xiao found out about this news, she was also stunned. Obviously, she did not expect Zhou Jingyan to start with her big brother. He was truly despicable!

Yun Lan was slightly stunned. This matter was extremely secret. He didn’t expect that Yun Xiao would still know about it. “Indeed, there is such a thing. How did Fourth Sister know about it?”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a hint of mockery, and her eyes were filled with hatred. “Of course I know. Big brother, no matter what the Third Prince said to you, you only need to know not to agree to him.”

Yun Lan was even more surprised when he heard this. He hadn’t said anything yet. He hadn’t expected that his fourth sister would actually know everything. “I didn’t think that my waist would agree to the Third Prince.”

Hearing Yun Lan’s assurance, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, “Then I’m relieved.”

On the contrary, Yun Lan became more and more confused. “Fourth sister, can you tell me what exactly is going on?”

Yun Xiao knew Yun Lan’s personality. If he didn’t tell him, he would definitely investigate by himself. At that time, it wouldn’t be a good thing for anyone. Instead, it would alert them. Therefore, Yun Xiao didn’t hide anything and told them everything that had happened these days. Of course, she only talked about the government. As for other things, Yun Xiao didn’t say anything else.

Just these things caused Yun Lan to be stunned for a long time. He looked at Yun Xiao in disbelief and said, “Are you saying that our family’s disaster was planned by the Third Prince?”

Yun Xiao sighed, His second brother, there is courage, However, these intriguing things were still lacking, “Yes, when we went to the Xiangguo Temple, there was His Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince together. However, halfway through the journey, the Third Prince’s mother suffered a seizure and called him back. Only the Third Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince went there. At that time, everyone was dead, and the Third Prince was injured and escaped. Don’t you find it strange? “The people beside His Highness the Crown Prince must be protecting the Crown Prince. Unfortunately, the Crown Prince did not escape. The Third Prince was seriously injured and escaped. He was just able to clear his innocence. In addition, after he was rescued, he remained unconscious. In this way, no one would suspect that the assassination of the Crown Prince had anything to do with him.”

Seeing that Yun Lan was engrossed in listening, Yun Xiao continued, “Ever since the Yun Clan’s accident, I have disguised myself as a doctor and went to the Third Prince’s mansion to see the Third Prince. The doctor told me that the Third Prince was not poisoned and that his injuries were not serious. He gave the Third Prince a heavy dose of medicine so that the Third Prince could no longer act. Only then did he save our Yun Clan.”

Yun Xiao held the teacup Chun Lan put down to moisten her voice, “Big brother, don’t you doubt why the Third Prince would attack our Yun Family?” “Back in the manor, before the Third Prince was taken away by county princess Huining, his body had recovered quite a bit, and the Third Prince was placed on our Yun Clan by county princess Huining’s hand. Obviously, he wanted to obtain what he wanted from the Yun Clan. Has Big Brother ever thought that our Yun Clan has anything to plot against others?”

“Money,” Yun Lan couldn’t help but blurt out. As the biggest imperial merchant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was no power. The most important thing was money. If something really happened to Yun Clan, the higher-ups would definitely punish Yun Clan. If the Third Prince pleaded for mercy again, then Yun Clan would be fine. He would definitely give the Third Prince a lot of silver thanks. The Third Prince was just a prince, so what could he do if he asked for silver?

When Yun Lan thought of this, his entire body looked energetic. Naturally, the competition for the first wife’s title would require a lot of expenses, and the Yun Clan could just make up for it. No wonder Zhou Jingyan would write him an apologetic letter after the Yun Clan was free.

“That’s right. Big brother, remember, not only is the Third Prince staring at this piece of fat meat from our Yun Clan, there are also many people staring at this piece of fat meat from our Yun Clan. If you want to calm down, you must stabilize your heart. No matter which prince invites you, you can’t agree.”

Yun Lan did not expect that the Yun Clan would be faced with a situation of being surrounded in such a short period of time. He suddenly raised his head to look at Yun Xiao and said, “Fourth sister, why can’t you hand over the Yun Clan’s wealth? This way, the royal family’s suspicions will be reduced.”

A bitter smile appeared on Yun Xiao’s face. “How could it be so easy? Even if I want to hand it over, I have to find a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, if I don’t handle it properly, it will cause the Yun Clan to suffer even more.” If I can hand over the Yun Clan’s wealth, I can guarantee the safety of the Yun Clan. Yun Xiao had already advised Yun Maozhe to do so. However, this matter would not be so simple.

At this moment, Yun Lan only felt that his head was a little inadequate. “Not even if he handed it over, not even if he didn’t, then what should he do?”

Seeing Yun Lan’s appearance, Yun Xiao said, He couldn’t help but laugh, She had already saved her second brother, In the future, he would definitely be able to save everyone from the Yun Clan, “Second Brother, there’s no need to worry. County Lord Huining now has a Sacred Family. With those new tricks, he will soon become the new noble of the capital. And the industries under Young Master Rong’s name are also rising. Very quickly, these industries in the capital will form a tripartite situation. That would be good for our Yun Family.”

Yun Lan listened to Yun Xiao’s analysis and felt slightly embarrassed. He didn’t expect that he wasn’t as wise as his own sister. “Then what should I do now?”

“Close the door tightly and no one will be seen. In addition, I have already found a master for Second Brother. In a few days, you can leave the capital.” No matter what happens in the future, Letting Yun Lan leave this troublesome place first could be considered as leaving behind a bloodline for the Yun Clan. Even if something really happened to the Yun Clan in the future, Second Brother would still be able to come and rescue him at that time, instead of being left alone.

Yun Lan did not expect that Yun Xiao would actually ask him to leave at this critical juncture. Naturally, he was unwilling. “Fourth sister, I will not leave.” The Yun Clan was in a critical period, so he had to stay and take care of his family.

Yun Xiao sighed. “Second brother, you still don’t understand why I told you this today. The Yun Clan is in a difficult situation. Even if you stay, you can’t help us. Why don’t you go fight outside first? Even if something really happens to the Yun Clan in the future, second brother can come and rescue us then.”

Yun Lan looked at his own younger sister’s gentle smile. He didn’t understand when his younger sister was actually so wise. However, he also felt that what his younger sister said was very reasonable. If he went out to fight hard, he would be able to realize his dreams. Not to mention, there was nothing better than saving his family at that time.

In the end, Yun Lan finally nodded. “Sister, I’ll listen to you. It’s just that things at home are going to be hard on you.”

“It’s not hard.” In her previous life, she didn’t even have the chance to do these things for her family. This life had finally made up for the regrets of her previous life. Why would she feel so hard?
