Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 131

Chapter 131 Reversal Of Circumstances
The sky was dim, and a dark cloud covered the only light in the pitch-black night. A cold wind blew, and the howling gale kept howling in the air.

Everyone couldn’t help but shiver when they saw this. A gust of cold wind blew over. Even though the other side was roasting, many people couldn’t help but tremble.

The governor wanted to shout out again, but before he could ask, he saw two figures walking out of the courtyard.

At this moment, the two figures were overlapping. Their bodies were pitch black, and they couldn’t see what their original owner looked like. Not only that, but one of the two’s legs was twisted abnormally, so he was carried on the back of another person.

The only thing the two of them were able to see was their pupils. Their white eyes were rolling in their eyes. It was very strange, and their skirts had many scorched marks. Their clothes had completely turned black.

How could they be called two people? It was as if they had been dug out from the ashes.

The governor was also shocked when he saw the two of them stumble over. If it weren’t for the fact that the person below could still walk, Tie Ning would have thought that this person was a ghost.

The governor berated, “Who are you?”

Just as the governor’s voice fell, Li Yi recognized the two of them. There was a faint surprise in his eyes. He immediately walked over. The usually happy and angry him couldn’t help but laugh out loud. He walked forward in surprise, “Fourth Miss, it’s great that you’re still alive.”

Yun Xiao only gave a faint gratitude. Even though she had been enduring it all this while, her face was somewhat black. The pain in her left leg still made her face slightly twist. “Chun Lan, let me down first.”

At this moment, Chun Lan did not have much strength on her body, but compared to Yun Xiao, she was still much better. “Miss, is your foot okay?”

Yun Xiao said indifferently, “It’s fine, you’re tired too. Come down first.” Just as Yun Xiao’s voice fell, Li Yi came over like a small stool that had survived the disaster at the entrance of the courtyard and placed it beside Yun Xiao.

Chun Lan waited on Yun Xiao to get up from her back and let her sit on the stool. Only then did Chun Lan breathe a sigh of relief.

Chun Lan’s eyes were filled with anger. She immediately walked to the face of the governor of the capital and knelt down. She immediately said, “This servant Chun Lan is the maidservant of the Cloud Manor. Greetings, my lord. I hope that your lordship will uphold justice for our young lady.”

Sitting on the stool, Yun Xiao could no longer see her original appearance. She nodded slightly with a faint apology, “Maiden Yun Xiao greets Lord Duan. Maiden Yun Xiao’s legs and feet are inconvenient. I hope Lord Duan won’t take offense.”

Amidst the crackling sounds of explosions, her faint voice was like the sound of nature, causing people to involuntarily look sideways. Her voice was very light and faint, but it seemed to carry a calming power, slowly smoothing the glue in everyone’s hearts.

The governor of the capital also felt that under the voice of a woman, he had gradually calmed down the unease in his heart. In order to conceal the embarrassment, the governor of the capital replied indifferently, “If your legs and feet are inconvenient, then let’s not bother.” He looked at the maidservant who was kneeling in front of him, and his expression was filled with admiration. In this situation, it was rare for a maidservant to share her master’s tribulation. “You should get up as well.”

However, Chun Lan still knelt on the ground and could not get up. “This servant pleaded with Master Qingtian to make the decision for our girl.” When she was fighting for her life in the fire, Chun Lan did not feel anything. Now that she remembered it, she felt very afraid. However, she did not regret her decision at that time.

The governor frowned slightly before he said, “Your girl didn’t even say what happened. How can I make the decision for your girl?”

When Chun Lan was said by the governor of the capital, she also felt that her complexion was slightly flushed. However, her face was now ashen, and no one saw her. She kissed her head again before she stood up.

At this moment, a strange voice sounded in the courtyard, “Don’t run!”

The governor looked in the direction of the voice and frowned in displeasure. He saw the people in the courtyard before moving their heads back in unison and harshly berating, “What’s going on?”

The official immediately said respectfully, “Reporting to my lord, these people are trying to escape!”

“Seize them all. Who dares to move? Seize them for consecutive crimes?” After the governor scolded him, he turned around and looked at the woman in front of him who still had a blurry expression. However, he asked calmly, “You can tell me what happened now, right?”

Yun Xiao said respectfully, “This courtyard was built by my Yun family ten years ago, Grandmother invited the Taoist priest to do something today. Said that this house and my Yun Clan are a bit offended, That’s why he ordered me and my brother to investigate the courtyard, On the way, she met her cousin Lan Shuya. My cousin and I just entered the courtyard today, The butler here is disrespectful to me, Embezzled more than 78,000 taels of silver from our Yun Clan, I’ve already sent the butler to Lord Jing Zhaoyin’s mansion, After dinner, When I was bathing, Suddenly smelling the smell of kerosene, However, considering the reputation of his daughter’s family, After putting on his clothes, the room was filled with tongues of fire, I can’t get out of here anymore, Helplessly, he had to find a place to escape in the house. I just didn’t expect the windows to be nailed to death, At that time, the window was on fire. Chun Lan and I wasted a lot of effort to knock the window open before we escaped. However, when we went out, we discovered that there was a lot of kerosene in the back of the house. This kerosene was from the courtyard next door, extending all the way to the courtyard I lived in. Someone wanted to kill me! Please make the decision for me. ”

Her faint words were light and weightless, but the listener could sense the danger at that time. And this fourth young lady really had great perseverance. She was hit in the leg and foot, did not faint, and even insisted on coming to the front yard.

The governor immediately instructed the official to go to the back of the house for inspection, while Li Yi on the other side respectfully said, “I was originally guarding outside, but who knew that these guards would stop me in unison and not allow me to rush in to save the fourth young lady? They even held their sabers and looked at each other. Please take a good look at me, my lord!”

The moment Duan Zhaoyin heard this, he noticed something strange. He didn’t allow anyone to save him, and even sealed the window behind him. What was it if it wasn’t murder? He immediately instructed the four officials to look behind him.

A pair of fierce eyes swept past. Those who were formerly majestic had already knelt down. Lord Duan stared at those people with a fierce gaze and coldly snorted, “Tell me, why did you stop Guard Li from saving them?”

Shocked by this voice, Those people unconsciously trembled. One of the rough-looking men raised his head and said, “Master, it’s not that we want to stop Guard Li from saving people. It’s that the fire inside is too big. We were only able to put out fires in the surroundings so hard to breathe. Isn’t Guard Li going to be burned to death if we go in?” “We are doing this for the safety of Guard Li.”

“Is that so?” Lord Duan narrowed his eyes slightly. His words didn’t carry much weight. Those who knelt on the ground trembled slightly from fear. The man who replied earlier also said respectfully, “Yes.”

Duan Zhaoyin looked at the swords on the ground with a faint smile. “If it was only for the sake of others’ safety, then why would they hold their swords against each other?” Duan Zhaoyin’s gaze was filled with a faint smile.

That person replied again, “It’s just that Guard Li is holding a longsword. If we don’t defend, we will definitely be killed by Guard Li.”

“Oh? I’m curious. You’re just guards from a different courtyard. Where did you get your swords?” Lord Duan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at those people dangerously.

“There are only twenty or so guards in this courtyard. In addition, there are countless treasures in the courtyard. So we have to equip our swords and knives to avoid any curfew wanting to hit the courtyard.” A drop of sweat slowly oozed out from the rough-mined man’s forehead, but he didn’t care to wipe it off.

“There are only twenty or so guards in a large courtyard. Are you lying to me?” Even if it was a small courtyard, there were dozens of people waiting to clean it. However, this courtyard was so big that there were only twenty people guarding it. No matter what, it could not be said.

A trace of panic appeared in the rough-mined man’s eyes. However, he quickly calmed down and knelt down again. He said respectfully, “That’s indeed the only way to say’guardian ‘.”

Only then did the governor look at Yun Xiao with a faint look in his eyes, “Fourth Miss, are there really only so many people in your courtyard?”

Yun Xiao Ning eyebrows looked at the other party’s people. If she could not produce any evidence, she would really let these people go. However, he was unwilling to give up such an opportunity. She stared at the rough-mined man for a while and slowly tightened her eyebrows. In the end, she came to a bold conclusion in her heart, “You’re lying. You’re not from this courtyard at all.”

Everyone was shocked by Yun Xiao’s words. These people were in the other courtyard. Who would they be if they weren’t in the other courtyard? Even Lord Duan’s gaze was slightly puzzled, “What does Fourth Young Lady mean by this?”

After Yun Xiao said that, She noticed that the people kneeling on the ground suddenly trembled with fear. If Yun Xiao was still doubting her guess, then she could confirm her own guess. She raised her voice and said, “Lord Duan’s interrogation will be known one by one. Perhaps he can interrogate someone who wants to kill me!” “In addition, if Lord Duan doesn’t believe what I said, he can take out the accounts of our courtyard and compare them to see if the accounts record the purchase of weapons.”

Just as Yun Xiao’s voice fell, the rough-looking man immediately raised his head and looked at Yun Xiao with different expressions. Although his voice was calm, it carried a sense of panic and a faint accusation. “Fourth young miss, we have done our duty for the monastery. Isn’t fourth young miss saying such words going to chill our hearts as slaves?”

When the man said this, Yun Xiao suddenly curled her lips and smiled, her gaze carrying a faint mockery, “It’s just suspicion. Just say’cold your hearts’. Then you just wanted to burn me to death in the house, didn’t you want to freeze my master’s heart?”

“Fourth Young Lady, you can eat randomly. You can’t talk nonsense!” The man’s gaze carried a faint peculiarity. His eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a faint threatening intent.

Yun Xiao snorted coldly. The corner of her lips curled into a smile as she looked at the capital governor. “Lord Duan, what is the crime of threatening your master as a slave? Our Yun Clan hasn’t seen such an arrogant slave. If Lord Duan doesn’t believe me, you can check the slave records of the slaves in the other courtyard and see if I’m telling the truth.”

Looking at those people’s appearances, a murderous expression suddenly appeared in Yun Xiao’s mind. Could it really be that person’s revenge?
