Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 155
Chapter 155 Perform A Provocation
The sound of threads and bamboo sounded as she danced gracefully.
The banquet was still going on, a peaceful scene of singing and dancing.
Yun Xiao looked sideways at Lan Shuya and smiled softly, “Cousin, what’s wrong with you? Why is your expression so depressed? It doesn’t look like your usual self anymore.”
Lan Shuya turned her head to look at Yun Xiao. When her dim eyes heard Yun Xiao’s voice, they carried a trace of viciousness. In the blink of an eye, they returned to normal. “Then what did cousin say about me as normal?”
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. She sized Lan Shuya up and down for a moment and whispered, “Naturally, it’s normal for you to compete for the throne of Imperial Concubine. How can you earn more than others in such a dispirited state? Besides, doesn’t cousin think that today’s banquet is a good opportunity?”
After Yun Xiao mentioned this matter, Lan Shuya’s expression became even angrier. These days, her mind had been responding to the man’s last words, “If you want to hate, then hate your cousin.”
She would never forget that day when she woke up in that mansion, struggling in the mansion, and the scene of the cold man throwing her into the snake cave. The surrounding poisonous snakes surrounded her, and the feeling of helplessness could drive people crazy.
She did not know how she had returned to the Blue Manor, nor did she dare to tell anyone about that day.
Every night, as long as she closed her eyes, she would be the ruthless and indifferent black figure and the poisonous snake all over the ground. These things almost drove her crazy. Every night, when she woke up, she would tremble in fear and not dare to speak.
What was even harder to say was that those poisonous snakes did not forget, leaving bite marks on her body one after another. Moreover, it was only when she returned to the Lan Clan that she realized that there was actually a small snake inside her body. If it wasn’t for the small snake biting at the root of her thigh, she wouldn’t have known.
Because of this, she did not dare to let others know what had happened to her, nor did she dare to let others know that she had been bitten by a poisonous snake. She could only use the medicine that the two women had thrown at her to wipe away her wounds. However, although the medicine could relieve the pain, the effects of the medicine were truly unflattering.
She hadn’t left the manor for a few days, and because of what happened in the monastery, her father had grounded her in the house.
After a few days of recuperation, her body had yet to recover, and the friction between her clothes made her want to scream in pain!
If it weren’t for the invitation from the Third Prince, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to leave the manor today.
Seeing Yun Xiao again today, the scene of being humiliated that day surged into her heart again. And all of her humiliation came from Yun Xiao. She did not know who Yun Xiao had offended, but that person would actually vent his anger on her. However, no matter what, she had to place this grudge on Yun Xiao.
Originally, because of her body, she was very dispirited. In addition, she could not sleep well day and night, so her spirits were even worse.
However, Yun Xiao’s words today were a slap in the face. She shouldn’t be so low. As long as the Third Prince was able to take a fancy to her, then not only would she be able to escape from the Yun Clan’s demonic grasp, she would also be able to trample everyone under her feet.
Although the Third Prince’s status as a mother was not high, he was still a prince. In addition, the Third Prince’s reputation in the capital had always been very good over the years. This kind of man was the Guixu that a woman should marry.
Even if the Third Prince didn’t think highly of him, there wasn’t only the Third Prince here. There were also the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince. The Fifth Prince had always liked beauties, so relying on the beauty of his number one beauty, he could naturally attract the Fifth Prince. Just like that day at the birthday banquet of county princess Huining, didn’t the Fifth Prince speak up for him without knowing him for the rest of his life?
No matter who he married, it was tens of thousands of times better than marrying into the Yun Clan to guard a dead person.
Even if she made up her mind to fight for her own happiness again, Lan Shuya’s expression became gentler as she thought of this. She looked at the woman beside her with a charming expression, “Cousin, can I ask you something?”
Yun Xiao’s expression was calm, and the corner of her mouth slightly rose. “There is an agreement between my cousin and me. There is not a single request between us. If your cousin has something to say, then say it.”
When Lan Shuya saw that no one was looking in her direction, she was relieved. She lowered her eyebrows, and her expression carried a faint sadness. Her watery eyes were covered with a layer of water. I saw that she felt pity. “Cousin, Yun Yao said a few days ago that although Yun Yang is dead now, the news of his death has not spread out, so the third young lady said that she still wants me to marry Yun Yang.” Lan Shuya gritted her teeth in hatred as she said this.
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned, and her tone was filled with indignation, “Is there such a thing? I’ve been in the house for the past few days recovering from my injuries, and I haven’t heard of anything outside. I didn’t expect that Yun Yao would actually do such a thing!” Although she knew about this matter and agreed with what Yun Yao had done in her heart, she could not show it.
Although Lan Shuya lowered her eyebrows, she had been observing Yun Xiao’s every move with the corner of her eyes. It was even her expression. It was as if this was the only way to determine whether what Yun Xiao said was true or false.
Seeing that Yun Xiao’s voice was getting louder and louder because of her excitement, she had already attracted the attention of the girls beside her. Her face was slightly red, and she wished she could sew up Yun Xiao’s mouth. She used her small hand to pull the corner of Yun Xiao’s clothes, “Cousin, keep your voice down.”
Yun Xiao pinched her handkerchief awkwardly and smiled unnaturally. “Cousin, I was too angry for a moment, so I unconsciously raised my voice.”
Lan Shuya only coughed lightly and said, “Since my cousin didn’t mean it, then forget it. It’s just …” She paused for a moment and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corner of her eyes as if she was crying. “Cousin, I beg you, please beg your uncle, okay? If I really marry into Yun Clan, there will be no future days.”
Yun Xiao pondered for a while, but her expression was actually very calm. Lan Shuya had been leaning against her head, so from Yun Xiao’s point of view, she could just see a red mark on Lan Shuya’s neck.
A faint surprise arose in her eyes. Logically speaking, Lan Shuya often bought a lot of things to care for her skin. How could she, who loved her body so much, have such traces on her body? Moreover, why did this mark seem to have been left behind by someone who had done something embarrassing? As a wife in her previous life, she naturally knew about this matter.
But why was there such a trace on Lan Shuya’s body?
Yun Xiao’s eyes were filled with shock. When they fell into Lan Shuya’s eyes, she thought that Yun Xiao was so shocked because of this news. She wiped the corner of her tearful eyes again and said softly, “Cousin, are you unwilling to help me?” Father has grounded me at home. If it weren’t for the invitation of the Third Prince today, I wouldn’t have been able to leave the manor. Cousin, only you can help me now. ”
Her voice was filled with tears, and when I saw her pitiful expression, it made people feel as if they were bullying her.
Yun Xiao’s expression was low and she immediately said, “Cousin, don’t say that. I’ll agree to it. Besides, Yun Clan isn’t her Yun Yao’s decision. My father has already returned, so I won’t let her do anything wrong.” After saying this, she did not promise that she would succeed.
When Lan Shuya heard Yun Xiao’s reply, she immediately broke into tears and laughed, “Cousin is still the best for me.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched. She turned her gaze away. She raised her eyes and met a pair of dark and bottomless eyes. Her four eyes met. From Rong Jin’s gaze, she saw a faint trace of curiosity and doting. Yun Xiao’s heart was slightly shocked. How could she see such a look in Rong Jin’s eyes?
Yun Xiao shook her head. She must have seen wrongly. She immediately lowered her eyebrows, her expression carrying a faint peculiarity. Very soon, Rong Jin was about to leave. If there was anything less to do with Rong Jin, then there was no need to have anything to do with Rong Jin.
She felt that her heart had already begun to sink, so she wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to pick up her sinking heart again.
A burst of laughter rang out. Yun Xiao also followed this voice and looked over. Her gaze met Xiao Yuqi who was about to get up. Xiao Yuqi smiled and nodded at her. She blinked her eyes playfully, her expression shy.
Yun Xiao also smiled back at her. However, very quickly, Yun Xiao’s gaze was completely on everyone, wanting to see what had happened.
Right at this moment, a soft and charming voice sounded, “Fourth Miss, Miss Xiao said that she wanted to perform a dance for us. Your relationship with Miss Xiao is so good, have you prepared other programs?”
Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly stunned. She looked at county princess Hui Ning and Xiao Yuqi, as if she wanted to distinguish whether the two of them had done it unintentionally or deliberately wanted to embarrass herself. When she came into contact with the schadenfreude in county princess Hui Ning’s eyes, Yun Xiao suppressed all the doubts in her heart.
She smiled gently at county princess Hui Ning. “Since Sister Xiao has performed, I naturally can’t fall behind others. Since that’s the case, I’ll accompany Sister Xiao. Sister Xiao will dance. I’ll paint. I wonder what Sister Xiao thinks?” No matter what moves he used, he would just accept them. Rather than waiting for others to make things difficult, it was better to have the advantage first!
Xiao Yuqi’s expression was slightly happy. “Naturally, that would be the best.” However, she had never heard of Yun Clan’s fourth young miss having any talent in painting. Since Yun Xiao was willing to embarrass herself in public, how could she stop her?
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth rose slightly, and her gaze carried a faint light. “There is still a gap between dance and painting. My cousin’s zither music is not bad. Why don’t you let her play it? What do you think?”
County Lord Hui Ning originally wanted Xiao Yuqi to make a fool of herself, However, he didn’t expect that there would be two more people involved. However, with Yun Xiao and Lan Shuya joining him, it was more in his favor. In his previous life, Yun Xiao was Zhou Jingyan’s future queen, and Lan Shuya’s alluring face made him go crazy with hatred. It was this face that had actually become Zhou Jingyan’s beloved consort!
Right now, she was going to ruthlessly trample these two women on the soles of her feet in front of Zhou Jingyan!
Playing together was originally an extremely difficult task, not to mention three people performing at the same time. If one of them couldn’t keep up with the rhythm of the zither music or made a mistake, then this performance would fail.
Despite her investigation, the three people in front of her had never played together, so she could already foresee how this performance would fail.
So this time, she was waiting to see the jokes of those three people. This time, she would definitely discredit them!
County princess Hui Ning’s lips curled up, her eyebrows smiling. She could not hide the joy in her eyes. Her eyes carried a faint expectation. At this moment, she felt a thoughtful expression coming from the main seat. She immediately straightened her body and sat upright.
