Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Shameless

After the two of them finished talking, a knock came from outside the door. Chun Lan’s voice sounded, “Fourth Miss, Second Miss Lan is here to see the girl. Do you want to invite her in?”

Hearing Lan Shuya’s name, Yun Xiao sneered in her heart. She naturally remembered what she had heard in the restaurant before. She did not expect that Lan Shuya could not wait to come today because she had only agreed with Yun Yang yesterday. It was truly shocking.

However, she also wanted to see what new tricks Lan Shuya could come up with. She turned to Yun Lan and said, “Second brother, go back first. I need to talk to my cousin.”

At this moment, Yun Lan did not want Lan Shuya to disturb Yun Xiao. It was only because every time this cousin came, she would cry in front of her sister. But no matter what, Lan Shuya was her own cousin, so he could only nod his head. His mind was also in a mess, and he had to think of a way to deal with the things that Fourth Sister had just told him.

Yun Lan walked out. Opening the door, Chun Lan bowed respectfully outside. Lan Shuya was currently waiting at the side. She wore an exquisite makeup and a light purple robe. She had a rabbit hair cloak on the outside. Her watery eyes seemed to be able to speak. When she saw Yun Lan, she said with embarrassment and timidity, “Second cousin.”

Yun Lan only gave a faint gratitude and said, “You can go in first. Fourth sister is resting in the house. However, don’t talk for too long. Fourth sister’s body is uncomfortable and she still needs to rest.”

After he finished speaking, regardless of whether Lan Shuya agreed or not, he walked out. This was already giving Lan Shuya enough face.

When Lan Shuya heard Yun Lan’s words, she felt her entire body stiffen. She did not expect that her normally gentle second cousin would actually be able to say such words to her beautiful face.

When Lan Shuya saw that the maids were all looking at her, she glared at her angrily before walking into the room.

When Yun Xiao was in the room, she naturally heard what Yun Lan said to Lan Shuya. She felt a warmth surge in her heart. Fortunately, Second Brother was more sensible and did not lure Lan Shuya’s face.

While Yun Xiao was thinking this, she saw Lan Shuya walking over and said through the curtain, “Cousin, are you alright? I came here today to bring the osmanthus cake that you like to eat.”

Yun Xiao only chuckled, “I happen to be cold and can’t eat those sweets. Since my cousin has brought them back, it’s not good for me to let her bring them back again.” After she finished speaking, she said to Chun Lan, “Chun Lan, take them down first and share them with the other maids. Cousin’s cooking has always been very good. Try it.”

Lan Shuya didn’t expect that she had just been lectured by Yun Lan, but now she had been demoted to the status of a maidservant by Yun Xiao. She was very angry in her heart, but when she thought of the purpose of her visit today, she could only swallow all the displeasure she felt today. “Alright, I don’t want to waste it anymore.” She slowly walked forward and sat down on the edge of the bed. With a worried expression, she said, “Cousin, are you feeling better now? Why is the cold so severe this time?”

Yun Xiao lightly hooked the corner of her lips and chuckled, “I’ve been tossing and turning on the road a few days ago. After this rest, the wind blew again last night. Naturally, a cold wind will arise. The doctor said that it would be good to take good care of it.”

Lan Shuya smiled as if she was really relieved. “How about a doctor? Why don’t I find a doctor for my cousin to take a look at her body?”

Seeing her enthusiasm, Yun Xiao became more vigilant in her heart. Looking at her face now, she felt bitter. She did not care about how good she was to her. Instead, she took what she had given her for granted. Now, she wanted to gain benefits from her body. Was she a fool in her eyes? “No need, why did cousin come here today? Why didn’t you post anything before coming?”

People from wealthy families would only go to other people’s houses after making a invitation. Lan Shuya entered and left the Yun Family more casually than her own family. Therefore, she did not know where Lan Shuya had forgotten about this invitation. Today, she did not mind helping Lan Shuya think about the etiquette that she should do.

Lan Shuya’s expression was slightly stiff, and the expression on her face was also ugly. She only smiled lightly and said, “Cousin, didn’t you say that I came to see you? Don’t you need to bow down to me? That would be very fruitful.” Before, Lan Shuya had felt that Yun Xiao treated her strangely. This time, she really understood what Yun Xiao meant. She couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. Without Yun Xiao’s financial support, how could she win against the mother and daughter in the Lan Clan?

Yun Xiao only raised her eyes slightly in surprise. Her small mouth gently opened. She wanted to say something but she still wanted to stop. However, she sneered in her heart. Since you want to be pitiful, then let’s see who plays it more like. Life is like a drama. It all depends on acting. This sentence is indeed not bad. “Am I going to say such a thing? Isn’t this not in keeping with etiquette?” After she finished speaking, she shook her head. Then he said, “No, no, cousin, next time you come, you have to pay your respects. Otherwise, others will think that cousin doesn’t know the rules. Besides, cousin will join Yun Mansion soon. At that time, we will be a real family. You know Second Mother’s temperament. If you know that cousin doesn’t know the rules, I’m afraid that cousin’s life will be sad.”

Sun shi and Lu shi had never fought, but Sun shi’s son was going to marry Lu shi’s niece. If Sun shi was happy, this would be surprising.

Lan Shuya’s face was pale from Yun Xiao’s heart-wrenching words. The thing she hated the most now was when others mentioned her and Yun Yang. Yun Xiao didn’t even mention this matter, and she even drew a clear line between herself and her. This had to make Lan Shuya angry.

However, now that he had a request for her, he could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart. In the future, when he settled Yun Yang’s matter and became the Imperial Concubine, he would definitely make these people who treated him as stepping on his feet pay the price!

Lan Shuya originally thought that the Yun Clan could not escape the blame for the Yun Clan’s accident this time. Once the Yun Clan disappeared from the eyes of the nobles in the capital, the matter between herself and Yun Yang would be destroyed. Who knew that the Yun Clan would actually escape this calamity?

The hands on both sides of the wide sleeve tightly clenched together. The pain coming from the palm of her hand made Yun Xiao regain her senses slightly. She looked at Yun Xiao timidly. Her small teeth gently bit her small lips. Her seemingly silent eyes contained tenderness. Those who did not know would definitely be soft-hearted when they saw it, but Yun Xiao only pretended not to see it.

In her previous life, she had been tricked by this expression countless times, but in this life, she would definitely not be soft-hearted because of it.

Seeing that Yun Xiao did not look at her, Lan Shuya raised her head to look at the tent on the bed. She was slightly surprised. Seeing that she could not get Yun Xiao’s question, she could only say it herself, “Cousin, I don’t want to marry Yun Yang.”

After she finished speaking, her eyes stared at Yun Xiao. Who knew that after staring at her for a while, she still couldn’t see Lan Shuya turn around. She gently bit the corner of her lips, as if she had made a decision.

She sized up the two maids in the room. One was Yun Xiao’s personal maidservant, Chun Lan, and the rest was the personal maidservant beside her.

Lan Shuya suddenly stood up from the bedside, took a step down, and knelt at the foot of the bed. “Cousin, can I beg you to help me?”

Yun Xiao saw Lan Shuya kneeling, A trace of surprise appeared in the depths of his eyes. Lan Shuya had a high self-esteem. Every time, it was clearly her who came to beg for help. Her last look of grievance made people unable to help her. She still had to refuse to help her, but instead, she had people beg to help her. Because if you didn’t like her, she would look at you with that wronged little face, as if she had been bullied by herself.

Even in her previous life, Lan Shuya had never knelt down and begged her. However, seeing Lan Shuya kneeling on the ground, Yun Xiao felt that she did not have the slightest bit of pleasure in her heart. Who had schemed against who and who had won?

Yun Xiao looked down at Lan Shuya, her gaze slightly wrinkled. Although her heart was soft, she remembered what Lan Shuya had asked her to do, and her gaze became firm. “Cousin, quickly get up and talk. With your appearance, people who don’t know you think I’m punishing you for kneeling.”

Lan Shuya raised her head to observe Yun Xiao’s face. Seeing that Yun Xiao’s expression did not change at all, she felt even more shocked. Since when did Yun Xiao treat her so coldly? She forcefully suppressed the oddity in her heart and squeezed out two tears from her eyes. “Cousin, if you don’t agree to me, I won’t get up. I don’t want to marry Yun Yang. The only one who can save me is cousin.”

Hearing this, Yun Xiao sneered. Only I can help? “Cousin, you and big brother were seen in front of everyone in the Xiangguo Temple. Now that you say you don’t want to marry big brother, what’s the point? I can’t help you with this matter.”

Lan Shuya’s expression stiffened slightly. She had abandoned her pride to beg Yun Xiao today. She didn’t expect that she would be rejected by the door. Seeing that Yun Xiao was leaving, she immediately changed her direction and knelt down to Yun Xiao again. “No, cousin, only you can help me with this matter. Cousin, I beg you, can you give me 200,000 silver taels?” “With these 200,000 taels of silver, I don’t need to marry Yun Yang anymore.”

Yun Xiao looked at Lan Shuya with a faint mockery in her eyes. She opened her mouth in surprise, “200,000 taels? Cousin, are you kidding? Even if you pawned everything in my room, there’s no 200,000 taels of silver.”

The corners of Lan Shuya’s mouth trembled, and her heart trembled. Anyway, she had already said it, so she wasn’t afraid to say more. “Cousin, you, you still have the Yun Clan. You are in charge of the Yun Clan’s affairs. 200,000 taels of silver isn’t worth mentioning to you, but it’s life-saving to me. Cousin, I really beg you.”

Hearing these words, Yun Xiao sneered angrily. She had the Yun Clan, but everything in the Yun Clan was to protect the people of the Yun Clan. She knew how to make up her mind. She specifically went to negotiate with Zhou Jingyan for 200,000 li. It was not worth mentioning? He really thought of himself as a bank that could withdraw money!

Yun Xiao took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart. She looked at Lan Shuya, who was kneeling on the ground, and her gaze narrowed slightly. “Cousin, I would like to know that in your eyes, 200,000 silver taels is not worth mentioning. Then what is worth mentioning?”
