Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 154

Chapter 154 Have Their Own Plans
The two carriages slowly stopped in front of the Third Prince’s mansion. Yun Xiao and Rong Jin got out of the carriage and saw that Steward Li was already waiting by the side. Yun Xiao smiled and said, “Ah, why is Steward Li so polite? He actually greeted me here personally? I’m flattered.”

The corner of Steward Li’s mouth twitched slightly. Unfortunately, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could not express it at this moment. He said respectfully, “The fourth young miss is a servant specially instructed by the Third Prince. I naturally do not dare to neglect the honored guests for the banquet.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth slightly raised, and she inadvertently repeated Butler Li’s words, “I don’t dare to neglect …”

She only said these four words, but when she heard Butler Li’s words, she felt that her entire mind was tightly lifted. When he was about to explain, she saw that Yun Xiao had already followed behind Rong Jin towards the Third Prince’s mansion.

Yun Xiao looked at the words “Third Prince’s Mansion” in front of her. Her gaze instantly darkened, but she quickly concealed it.

It wasn’t the first time he had entered the Third Prince’s mansion since he was reborn. However, every time he entered, it was night. He was in a hurry and used someone else’s identity to sneak in. If it weren’t for Rong Jin’s help, he wouldn’t have entered the Third Prince’s mansion so easily.

It was already close to noon, and the guests had already arrived. Therefore, no one else would appear at the entrance at this time.

Yun Xiao’s gaze was calm. It had been half a month since she last met Zhou Jingyan. She wanted to see how Zhou Jingyan was now. Had he recovered? Was he angry that he couldn’t do anything?

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao’s slightly nervous mood relaxed temporarily. A moment of silence appeared in Yun Xiao’s eyes, and she followed behind Rong Jin and walked in.

The banquet hosted by the Third Prince, Naturally, she would not let everyone freeze in the cold wind. Instead, she would stay in the Shallow Cloud Residence. The Shallow Cloud Residence was extremely large and could accommodate dozens of people without feeling crowded. Along the way, looking at the familiar scenery, Yun Xiao’s heart had an inexplicable peculiarity. However, she quickly got rid of this emotion because there was someone else in front of her.

Jiang Qing smiled and said, “Fourth Young Lady, this is your first time coming to the Third Prince’s Mansion, right? Do you want me to introduce you?”

Yun Xiao resisted her impulse to roll her eyes, He had lived in this mansion for seven years in his previous life, He was extremely familiar with all the plants and trees here, Moreover, after his rebirth, he had also come to the Third Prince’s Mansion a few times. He was more clear about what was happening here than anyone else. However, on the surface, this was indeed the first time he had come to the Third Prince’s Mansion. Yun Xiao calmly glanced at Butler Li beside him and smiled. “Is this the first time I’ve come? Isn’t this the first time you’ve come?”

Jiang Qing chuckled and said, “Although this is my first time here, I only know a lot about those precious things.”

Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Perhaps you have forgotten one thing. I am the fourth young lady of Yun Clan. As long as it is something I want, my father will buy it for me. Therefore, although these things are beautiful, they are not unusual.” Yun Xiao observed Butler Li’s expression as she spoke. As expected, Butler Li’s eyes lit up slightly, but in an instant, they darkened.

Yun Xiao sighed in her heart. She didn’t expect her guess to be correct. Zhou Jingyan still hadn’t given up.

Jiang Qing looked at her thoughtfully and nodded in approval, “Fourth Young Lady is right. Yun Clan’s business is spread throughout the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and its annual income is more than the annual tax in the Imperial Palace. I was wrong.”

Yun Xiao did not mind, she just smiled and continued walking forward.

Very quickly, the group arrived at Qianyun Residence. Qianyun Residence was the largest courtyard of the Third Prince’s Mansion. As soon as they entered, they saw that there were no fewer than 50 people seated inside. Each of them had a faint smile on their faces, and they had a look of happiness in their conversations.

Yun Qi didn’t care at all. His gaze fell on Zhou Jingyan in an instant. After Butler Li went in to inform him, Qianyun Curie’s vocal music stopped. Many people looked at the door. Of course, there was a look of inquiry in the eyes of these people, wanting to see who they were. To think that they would be so late for a visit to someone else’s house.

Yun Xiao walked in with Rong Jin with an indifferent expression. Facing everyone’s gaze, she was neither sad nor happy. She was generous and leisurely. She wore a long moon-white dress that looked like a heavenly maiden descending from the mortal world.

As for Rong Jin, he was already very good-looking. The corner of his mouth had always been filled with a faint smile, and his handsome face caused many people to look sideways.

The two of them were dressed in moon-white clothes. They walked together in unusual harmony, causing everyone to have an idiom in their hearts, “Golden Boy and Jade Maiden.”

The two of them directly chose to ignore other people’s inquiry. Instead, they faintly stepped forward with calm gazes. When they reached the center of the banquet, they stopped. Yun Xiao bowed and Rong Jin cupped his hands, signaling, “Greetings to the Third Prince.”

Zhou Jingyan first glanced at the two of them, then turned his gaze to Butler Li. His expression was gentle as he said softly, “Get up, both of you.”

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin smiled and thanked each other, but the county princess of Hui Ning said discontentedly, “Is Young Master Rong and Fourth Young Lady really extravagant? They actually let us have so many people to wait for the two of you. Although the Third Prince doesn’t mind, you two can’t help but apologize, right?”

Yun Xiao looked sideways at the unhappy county princess of Hui Ning, The current county princess of Hui Ning, His face darkened. His gaze was filled with malice. “County princess is right, but I don’t think I need to apologize. The Third Prince sent the closest butler in his mansion to pick me up. I came so late, and I was frightened on the road. I want an explanation from the Third Prince,” Yun Xiao said with a faint smile.

County Lord Hui Ning was slightly stunned, “What did you say?” She paused, her eyes revealing displeasure. “A merchant girl is a merchant girl. She doesn’t understand the general situation and actually wants to make things difficult for the Third Prince.”

Yun Xiao’s gaze carried a faint smile, Being so belittled, “As far as I know, county princess Hui Ning has personally studied a lot of desserts and eaten a lot over the past month. The amount of money she earns is no less than our Yun Clan. I was only born in a merchant’s home, but county princess Hui Ning does business in person. Speaking of merchant girls, this name is more suitable for county princesses, isn’t it?”

County Lord Hui Ning’s face instantly turned ugly. She looked at Yun Xiao with an unhappy expression and wished she could arrest her in front of everyone. “You, you actually dare to speak nonsense?”

Yun Xiao’s expression was indifferent. She only smiled lightly and said, “Am I speaking nonsense? I believe everyone here knows that everyone here must have bought something from County Lord Hui Ning’s shop, right?”

Those who were seen by Yun Xiao quickly lowered their heads. It was also at this time that Yun Xiao noticed that Lan Shuya had also been invited by Zhou Jingyan. However, the current Lan Shuya was different from the Lan Shuya they had met a few days ago.

Today, Lan Shuya wore a rosy red jacket and a horse-faced skirt. She was still sitting there quietly. However, at this moment, Lan Shuya’s face was abnormally pale. Her normally pitiful, speaking eyes were filled with a deathly silence.

Although she wore a thick makeup, the haggard look on her face could be seen at a glance.

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. What happened to Lan Shuya? Even if she had been beaten up and lost a bit of her reputation, Lan Shuya wouldn’t be like this. So, what exactly happened to Lan Shuya these past few days? He had actually turned a woman who valued beauty the most into this kind of person?

Yun Xiao’s expression was filled with surprise, but she quickly diverted her gaze. As long as she wanted to know something, she would soon know.

“So what? My mother is the eldest princess of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and her status is nobler than yours.”

Yun Xiao was already indifferent to such words. In his previous life, ever since he married Zhou Jingyan, In this way, she could hear it from Zhou Jingyan’s concubine’s mouth all the time. Yun Xiao only smiled and said, “I don’t know if the county princess is noble or not, It’s just that I don’t want people to misunderstand why I’m so late, I came so late, It was only because of the carriage of the Third Prince’s mansion, The coachman’s skill in driving the carriage was truly unflattering, “I’m afraid that I can jolt people to death if I stay in that carriage for half an hour. I’ve always cherished my life, so I decided to get out of the carriage and walk back. Fortunately, I met Young Master Rong on the way and was willing to take me on a journey. So, I went to buy a new set of clothes and realized that I wouldn’t be rude. If anyone was offended, then I, Yun Xiao, am willing to apologize.”

Although her voice was small, it was enough for everyone in the main hall to hear.

Not only that, she was calm and did not have the slightest intention of apologizing.

Zhou Jingyan’s gaze suddenly changed. His expression suddenly became very ugly. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, carrying a hint of confusion. “Someone, bring Steward Li down with you!”

He made up his mind and did not give Steward Li any chance to explain. Steward Li did not struggle. After he left, Zhou Jingyan looked at Yun Xiao, who was standing not far away from him. His gaze was filled with displeasure. “Is Fourth Young Lady satisfied with this?”

There was a faint smile on Yun Xiao’s face, and the corner of her mouth was slightly raised. However, her gaze towards Zhou Jingyan was ice-cold. “Naturally, I am satisfied, so I would like to thank the Third Prince.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the woman behind Zhou Jingyan, her gaze carrying a faint provocation.

Li Qiaolan’s expression was embarrassed, but after looking at Zhou Jingyan, she did not dare to plead for mercy. Instead, she kept poking Yun Xiao’s back with her knife.

Yun Xiao’s expression did not change. She brought her maidservant to Lan Shuya’s side. As she passed by Xiao Yuqi, Yun Xiao chuckled, “Sister Xiao, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Sister Xiao’s expression is getting better and better.”

Xiao Yuqi replied with a smile, but the smile carried an unclear hue. “Yes, thanks to the beauty prescription that Fourth Sister developed.” That prescription was obviously only known by modern people, but unfortunately, it was taken over by a reborn woman.

Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Sister Xiao is being polite.” She walked forward without hesitation.

At this moment, Xiao Yuqi’s expression was extremely embarrassed. She looked at the slender figure with a strong killing intent.
