Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 151

Chapter 151 Receive Xiao into the Manor
As soon as they entered the twelfth month, they welcomed the first snow of winter. Heavy snow drifted down from the sky and pounced on the roofs. On the trees and rockery, the river water also froze and was covered with a thick layer of snow.

It snowed for two days and nights in a row, and finally cleared up in the early morning of the third day.

The golden sun emerged from the clouds, and a dazzling light shone on the snowflakes, giving them even more dazzling brilliance.

Yun Xiao had been lying in bed for several days. According to Madam Lu’s beautiful name, she was recovering from her injuries every day. In fact, only Yun Xiao knew that she was suffering from a heart disease. She had already recovered the day she woke up, and the fake wound on her leg had also been covered by Rong Jin. In these past few days, she could pretend to be completely healed.

Yun Xiao got up from the bed, her gaze blurred. Chun Lan had already draped a green brocade jacket over Yun Xiao’s body and called for a maid to fetch water before she smiled and said, “Young lady, it’s too cold outside today. Your body isn’t well yet. Why don’t you rest for another day today? What do you want to do? Just tell this servant to do it.”

Yun Xiao originally planned to visit Madam Sun with Madam Lu today, because the child in Madam Sun’s stomach was still not saved in the end. Although she had been grounded, she was still an elder no matter what.

“Chun Lan, go and call my mother, Brother Han and Second Brother. I won’t leave the courtyard today. Help them cook a delicious meal.”

She counted the days. She and Rong Jin were about to leave for a few days now. In other words, she and Yun Lan didn’t have much time left. She could take advantage of the fact that she still had time to spend with her family, so she wouldn’t let her imagination run wild.

Chun Lan immediately replied with a chuckle. She waited for Yun Xiao to be dressed up before she went out to summon someone.

Yun Xiao also walked out. Looking at the snow all over the ground, the two little girls were trying their best to sweep through the snow. They couldn’t help but reveal a light smile. This way, they could live to see everything they had seen before. It felt really wonderful.

Not far away, Chun Mei, who was sweeping away the snow, raised her sleeve and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She inadvertently saw Yun Xiao standing under the eaves. She immediately put down the broom in her hand and said respectfully, “This servant greets Fourth Young Lady.”

The other girl immediately bowed to greet him. Yun Xiao only smiled and said, “Get up.” After she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly rolled a few times. Suddenly, she thought of playing with the snow. “Don’t move the snow in the northeast corner.”

The two maids immediately answered and quickly cleaned up the snow in the courtyard. The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth rose, “Chun Mei, from today onwards, you will be a first-class maidservant.”

Chun Mei was still dumbfounded, not knowing what she had just heard. “What, you don’t want to?”

When she heard that Yun Xiao’s gentle voice had turned cold, she finally reacted and said gratefully, “Yes, yes, this servant thanks Miss.”

Yun Xiao nodded and replied. In the blink of an eye, she saw Chun Zhu’s hateful gaze. She only snorted coldly, “Chun Zhu.”

When Chun Zhu saw that he was nominated, he immediately respectfully replied, “This servant is here. Miss, please instruct me.”

“How long have you been in this courtyard?”

“Three years and six months.”

‘”So it’s been so long.” Yun Xiao nodded secretly and saw that Chun Zhu’s gaze was already filled with joy. “From tomorrow onwards, you should go to Second Mother’s courtyard to serve her and be a first-class maid.”

After she finished speaking, she walked towards the courtyard. The joy on Chun Zhu’s face immediately stopped. She looked at Yun Xiao in disbelief and immediately followed. She knelt at Yun Xiao’s feet and said, “Fourth Miss, this servant is willing to serve you alone. This servant will not leave the Rose Courtyard.” It seemed that he had been promoted, but he had been demoted. Madam Sun no longer had any status in Yun Mansion. Although she was a first-class maid, she was inferior to the second-class maids in the Fourth Young Lady’s courtyard.

In addition, Madam Sun was a bad match, and she came out of Yun Xiao’s courtyard. At that time, it was unknown if she would survive in Madam Sun’s courtyard.

Yun Xiao snorted coldly and lowered her head to look at Chun Zhu who was kneeling in front of her. Her expression was very unfriendly, “Unwilling?” Why not? “You’ve served me for more than three years. You’ve worked hard without any credit. Being a first-class maidservant won’t injure you. It’s just that there are no more first-class maidservants in my courtyard. There’s just one first-class maidservant in Second Mother’s courtyard. It would be perfect for you.” Although she hadn’t gone out these past few days, she knew everything about the outside world clearly. Everyday, people would tell her about these things.

After Chun Zhu heard Yun Xiao’s words, she immediately cried out, “Miss, Miss, don’t drive this servant away. This servant will serve you with all her heart. Please don’t let this servant leave.”

Yun Xiao only sneered and her expression turned cold. “You don’t want to leave? You don’t want to leave. Do you want to stay and take my life?”

Chun Zhu only felt his mind buzzing, “Miss, this servant didn’t do anything wrong to you. How could this servant take the life of this girl?”

Yun Xiao snorted coldly, “Two months ago, one night, you were holding a night’s worth of poison for me. If it weren’t for the broken bowl halfway, I would have been a corpse standing here now.”

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air after saying that. A mama Li in the courtyard instantly turned pale. It turned out that the fourth young miss didn’t know about that night. It was just that her wings weren’t plentiful at that time and she shouldn’t offend others. Furthermore, Chun Zhu was still a member of the Sun Clan.

The Fourth Young Lady had never said anything, she had just been ambushing him, waiting for the truth to be revealed today.

Chun Zhu’s face was ashen, and he no longer dared to plead for mercy.

Yun Xiao snorted coldly, “You go, I don’t want your life.” Chun Zhu was from Madam Sun. Not to mention that she hadn’t completed her mission, Madam Sun was still completely out of power in Yun Clan, and all of her anger was about to be vented on Chun Zhu.

Seeing how considerate she was, she specially sent one to Madam Sun for her to vent her anger.

Yun Xiao’s gaze suddenly turned to the pale-faced Mother Li, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. “Mother Li, your cooking skills are not bad. Second Mother’s body is not good now, so it’s time to mend her body. Why don’t you go and serve Second Mother with Chun Zhu?”

This Mother Li was sent over by Yun Yao to monitor, and today, she wanted to return all of these people.

Mother Li’s heart, which was already in a state of anxiety, suddenly turned cold. She immediately knelt down and respectfully said, “Young lady …”

Before Yun Xiao could finish her sentence, she immediately waved her hand and said, “Go down, or else I will return you to your master.”

Mother Li did not dare to speak anymore. She immediately went back with Chun Zhu, angering Yun Xiao. Whether or not their lives could be saved was still one thing.

Chun Mei carefully looked at Yun Xiao and pondered for a while before saying, “Young lady, there are so many people missing from our courtyard now. Do you want to choose a few girls?”

Yun Xiao glanced at Chun Mei and smiled softly, “You’re right. However, it’s better to be lacking than to be abusive. If you’re not loyal to me, the consequences will be the same as Chun Zhu and Mama Li are now.”

At this moment, a loud voice came from outside. “Fourth sister, are you finally willing to tidy up your courtyard?”

Yun Xiao was ridiculed for a while, not thinking at all. She just smiled and looked at the people who came over, “If I don’t tidy up, my courtyard will be turned upside down.”

A small figure immediately rushed over and hugged Yun Xiao’s leg. He raised his soft and waxy little face and said, “Fourth sister, your body is finally fine, can you play with me?”

Yun Xiao nodded her head. She remembered Brother Han’s future life and felt sad. “Alright, Fourth Sister will play with you. I left the snow over there. Let’s make a snowman.”

Brother Han naturally agreed. Yun Lan thought for a moment, then walked up and said, “Since all of you want to play, bring me along. Let’s compete and see who makes the snowman.”

The siblings enjoyed playing in the snow. Not long after, they built the two snowmen, called the maidservant girl to take the carrot and green pepper, and made the snowman’s nose, mouth, eyes, and so on. After doing all this, three similar faces turned red. Brother Han smiled and said, “Second Brother, look at the snowmen that Fourth Sister and I built. They are much more beautiful than yours.”

Yun Lan was naturally unconvinced and grabbed a handful of snow and smashed it at Brother Han.

Brother Han was caught off guard and was smashed right in the face.

Yun Xiao smiled and said, “Since Second Brother has lost, then I’m willing to admit defeat.” After saying that, they picked up the snowball that had been prepared beside the snowman and smashed it at Yun Lan.

Yun Lan cried out in pain and pinched the snow ball to smash into each other. The three of them were having fun, not even knowing that there were two more people in the courtyard.

Madam Lu watched her child play so happily and her lips curled into a faint smile. She had been satisfied for the rest of her life.

Yun Maozhe tightened the cloak on Madam Lu’s body and said with a smile, “Mother Yun, I’ve made you suffer these past few days.”

Madam Lu’s face became slightly flushed. However, not long after, she turned her head and continued to look at the scenery over there. “I’m already satisfied with this kind of day. There’s nothing Mother Yun can ask for to marry her husband.”

The couple looked at the three people who were playing and laughed at the same time. The three people who were tired of playing finally stopped and discovered their existence. They immediately ran over and said with a smile, “Father, Mother, you’re here.”

“Look at you guys. Brother Lan and Xiaoxiao are so old. They’re actually so playful.” Although Madam Lu was reproaching, her eyes were full of doting.

Yun Xiao rolled her eyes and said, “Naturally, I have to play. Otherwise, I won’t have a chance in the future.” Her words were pun and implied deep meaning.

Yun Lan glanced sideways at Yun Xiao and didn’t say anything in the end. Madam Lu said discontentedly, “What do you mean there’s no chance? Stop talking nonsense.”

“Second Brother is leaving. Of course, there is no chance.” Brother Han’s soft and waxy voice carried traces of nostalgia.

Madam Lu was stunned. Obviously, she didn’t know what had happened. “What’s leaving?” Yun Maozhe had already learned what had happened from Yun Lan, so he wasn’t surprised at all. Seeing Madam Lu worried, he was just about to comfort her when he saw the butler running in anxiously. He was still sweating profusely in such a cold weather.

Yun Maozhe frowned, “What happened?”

The butler walked closer and remembered to kneel down. He hurriedly said, “Third Prince, third prince …” However, he didn’t say anything swift because he was too anxious.

When Yun Xiao heard this address, she was also stunned. She looked at the butler doubtfully. What happened to Zhou Jingyan? Why did she have a bad feeling in her heart?

Yun Maozhe also forgot what he was talking about and immediately asked, “What happened to the Third Prince? Speak slowly.”

“The Third Prince sent a carriage to invite the Fourth Young Lady into the manor.” The butler finally finished his sentence and felt refreshed, but he ignored the different expressions on everyone’s faces.
