Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 162

Chapter 162 Watch A Play
Yun Xiao looked sideways. Her dull eyes seemed to have seen Li Qiaolan a few years later. The two of them also stood in the same position. Li Qiaolan stood in front of her and spoke with the same tenderness as before.

As if she was still in an illusion, she blinked her eyes doubtfully, “Madam Li, what’s the matter?”

Li Qiaolan looked at Yun Xiao’s face and felt that something was wrong. But as for what was wrong, she said it again. Although Yun Xiao was talking to her, her eyes did not have the slightest focus. If Yun Xiao did not call out Madam Li’s words, she would really think that Yun Xiao was talking to someone else.

Li Qiaolan calmed down and raised her hand to give the silver note in her hand to Yun Xiao. This was just given to her by her father. Of course, this silver note was not an ordinary silver note. Since Yun Xiao wanted the silver from her, she also wanted to see if Yun Xiao had the life to take it!

Yun Xiao’s eyes suddenly widened. She looked at Li Qiaolan’s hands. In her previous life, Li Qiaolan had also given her something in front of everyone. She said, “Sister Yun, this is a small dress I made for the eldest son of His Highness. This is a token of my gratitude. I hope that sister will accept it.”

She kept it and slipped a few days after returning. In the end, she found out that Li Qiaolan had hidden the fragrance of musk in her little clothes. This fragrance was very concealed. She used silk thread to immerse it in the musky water and embroidered it on the little clothes. She did not notice that the fall of the fetus had almost killed her and injured her body.

Yun Xiao couldn’t help but take a step back. She didn’t dare to take the things in Li Qiaolan’s hands.

Li Qiaolan’s expression changed slightly. She couldn’t help but wonder if Yun Xiao had discovered that the banknote had been tampered with. She bit her lip and revealed a pitiful expression. “Fourth Miss, haven’t you been collecting debts? Why don’t you take it now?”

Yun Xiao finally regained her senses when she heard the fourth young lady. She was not the third princess in her previous life. She was only the fourth young lady of the Yun Family. Even so, with the experience of her previous life, Yun Xiao did not dare to easily receive the things in Li Qiaolan’s hands. Especially, Li Qiaolan’s eyes could not wait to take the silver away.

Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Naturally, I have to take it.” Yun Xiao looked sideways at Li Qiaolan and county princess Hui Ning. The moment she reached out, both of them could not conceal the smile in their eyes.

When Yun Xiao saw this, she knew that there was still heaven and earth on the banknote. She smiled softly and lifted the corners of her mouth to receive the banknote in her hand.

“Now, can I go?” She chuckled softly, her expression as usual.

Li Qiaolan said softly, “Of course.”

After Yun Xiao’s figure disappeared, Rong Jin also ordered someone to mount the painting and bring it back. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly before he said, “It seems to me that I’m not welcome here. I’m not going to stand in the way of everyone’s eyes anymore, so as to avoid being kicked out by others and lose face.”

His voice was faint, and he smiled at Yan Yan. His voice was gentle, but the sarcasm in his words made everyone blush.

Zhou Jingyan originally wanted to persuade him to stay. This Rong Jin’s wealth was no weaker than the Yun Clan’s. He casually squandered a hundred taels of gold. It was really a waste of money. However, it also showed that he was rich and didn’t care about this little bit of gold!

He had always wanted to rope in such a person, but before he could say anything to persuade him to stay, he saw Rong Jin already walking out with his servants. Of course, he didn’t forget to bring the painting with him before he left.

With the two of them leading the way, and with so many things happening at the banquet, everyone naturally had no intention of staying any longer and bid farewell.

Li Qiaolan took this opportunity to send the maidservant beside her out to see if Yun Xiao was dead.

When everyone was about to leave, county princess Hui Ning said goodbye. Although she still wanted to stay by Zhou Jingyan’s side, she wanted to see Yun Xiao’s miserable state even more.

After Yun Xiao walked out of the Third Prince’s Mansion, she stood beside the carriage and looked blurriedly at the plaque on the Third Prince’s Mansion.

Not long after, Rong Jin and Jiang Qing walked out. The two of them walked over to Yun Xiao doubtfully and sized her up before saying, “Fourth Young Lady, do you feel anything strange?”

As a doctor, Li Qiaolan noticed the strange scent on her body when she passed by her. When she saw the vigilance in Yun Xiao’s eyes when she looked at Li Qiaolan at the banquet entrance, she naturally knew that there was something wrong with the banknote, and the scent was clearly coming from the banknote.

He thought about it all the way and finally remembered where he had seen this poison. It was a little red. As long as he touched someone’s skin, he would die in a short period of time. The appearance of his death was extremely miserable!

As he witnessed with his own eyes, Yun Xiao personally took the silver note.

Along the way, he and Jiang Qing walked very quickly. They wanted to chase after Yun Xiao and save her before she had any symptoms.

Unexpectedly, what they saw was a scene where Yun Xiao was completely unharmed.

Even though Rong Jin and Jiang Qing had concealed themselves well, the urgency in their eyes was still too late to conceal. Yun Xiao was looking at them, but Yun Xiao did not have the intention to say anything. She smiled gently, “What can I do?”

Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao worriedly for a while again. Seeing that her expression was normal, there was indeed no problem. He was relieved. He remembered that Yun Xiao was vigilant and would definitely not interfere with other people’s dao. It seemed that he was concerned, but it was chaotic. “It’s good that everything was fine,” he said as he turned around and got into the carriage.

Seeing this, Yun Xiao also wanted to get on the carriage. At the corner of her eyes, she saw a maidservant looking back and forth in front of the Third Prince’s mansion. When she saw that Yun Xiao was actually still standing in front of her, her face was slightly stunned. Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows and smiled at her. She scared the maidservant to a pale complexion and hurriedly ran back.

Yun Xiao touched her cheek and smiled at Chun Lan beside her. “Chun Lan, is there something dirty on your girl’s face?”

Chun Lan laughed out loud. She felt that Yun Xiao’s performance today was a little different from before. She was still doubting whether this was her family’s girl. Only now did she feel that the girl in front of her was the same girl she had served in the past. “There’s nothing dirty on the girl’s face. She’s very beautiful.”

Yun Xiao pointed at the maidservant who was running backwards and said in an innocent tone, “Since that’s the case, why did that maidservant run back when she saw me? It was as if she had seen a ghost.”

Chun Lan looked in the direction of Yun Xiao’s finger and saw a maidservant running forward anxiously. With a step of caution, she bumped into County Lord Hui Ning, who was rushing out from inside. One of them was unprepared and the two of them bumped into each other.

County princess Huining was anxious to see how Yun Xiao was doing, but she didn’t hear anything about what was happening outside until she reached the entrance of the manor. She was a little puzzled, but she still walked out. Who knew that she would be hit by a blind maidservant? She was caught off guard and knocked to the ground.

The two of them twisted into a ball. County Lord Hui Ning didn’t check who hit him first, and the person on the left and right couldn’t escape either. She looked in the direction of Yun Xiao’s carriage and saw Yun Xiao nodding at her with a smile. What kind of poisoning was there?

Just as the county princess of Hui Ning was dumbfounded, Yun Xiao had already gotten into the carriage with the help of the maidservant.

County princess Huining wiped her eyes, but she still couldn’t believe what she saw. “Is Banxia, Yun, and Yun Xiao still alive? Am I mistaken?”

Ban Xia also saw Yun Xiao’s figure clearly. She was indeed standing in front of them. She answered respectfully and uneasily, “Fourth Young Lady is not dead.”

County princess Huining’s gaze was cold. She looked up and saw that it was Li Qiaolan’s personal maid. She could no longer hold back her anger. She fiercely slapped down on the maid. “Pa!” The sound of a slap made county princess Huining’s expression clear. “Go back and tell your family princess that such useless things can’t be handled properly.”

She slapped Li Qiaolan mercilessly, as if she was hitting her body. She had lost time and time again because of Li Qiaolan, so how could she not be angry?

The maidservant did not dare to say anything else. She got up from the county princess of Hui Ning and hurriedly ran towards the manor.

County princess Huining also stood up with the help of two maids. She flicked the dirt on her body and coldly snorted, “Let’s go!”

“Is there something the county princess is in such a hurry to return?” A gentle voice sounded from behind him. It was so light that it didn’t weigh much. However, it felt very uncomfortable in the ears of County Lord Hui Ning.

She turned her head and saw that the man was wearing a light green dress, standing not far behind her. The corner of her mouth raised, and she looked at her with a low eyebrow and a smile.

County princess Hui Ning looked at that face and felt uncomfortable. Although Xiao Yuqi couldn’t compare to Lan Shuya’s face, her bearing filled the gap. “So it’s Miss Xiao. Miss Xiao’s dance today is really memorable. It’s just that she’s still inferior to Fourth Miss Yun.”

One dance, one tune, one dance, one dance, one dance, one play. Even if the aftertaste lasted longer, it would eventually dissipate. However, Yun Xiao was different. A painting could be passed down for a long time, let alone a painting bought by two hundred gold taels, it was enough to make Yun Xiao famous in the capital.

Who would have thought that a good banquet would actually make a wedding dress for Yun Xiao? County princess Hui Ning felt angry and angry at what he thought.

“Is that so? Fourth sister’s painting is indeed not bad, much better than my dance.” If she wanted to make her own spear and deal with Yun Xiao, she would take advantage of Yun Weng. Xiao Yuqi would not let anyone else take advantage of this.

“Miss Xiao is really modest. If it weren’t for the Yun Family’s Fourth Young Lady, it would be Miss Xiao who had the most coquetry today. What a pity.” County princess Huining shook her head and sighed. “However, Miss Xiao’s dance today was quite unique. I wonder what kind of dance it was.” Whether it was in his previous life or this life, he had never seen this dance before, and Hui Ning couldn’t help but be curious.

Xiao Yuqi’s expression was calm as she lifted the corner of her mouth. “It’s not that I can’t dance anymore. It’s just a dance that I choreographed when I was bored. The county princess likes it. I can teach the county princess.”

County princess Hui Ning’s expression was very embarrassed when she heard this. The word’teach ‘seemed to be shorter than her. She snorted coldly, “There’s no need for that. My status is noble, so I naturally don’t need to learn these skills to serve people.”

Xiao Yuqi said with a smile, “County princess is noble, so you don’t have to learn these things, so you don’t know how to be admired. I envy Fourth Sister. A painting can attract everyone’s attention. I will definitely learn from Fourth Sister another day.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s expression became even more unhappy. He coldly snorted and said to the maidservant behind him, “Let’s go!”

After seeing county princess Hui Ning leave, the smile on Xiao Yuqi’s face became even more intense. It was much better to watch the show properly than to enter it.
