Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 164
Chapter 164 Do You Believe Me
The sky was hazy. Even though it was already completely dark, it was not dark because it had just snowed. The snowflakes reflected the moonlight and reflected the multicolored light.
Yun Xiao held a book under the lamp and slowly flipped through it. Chun Lan walked in and lit a few more lamps. Four lamps lit up a few sides of the table. It was as bright as day. There was no need to worry about hurting her eyes.
Chun Lan took the embroidered basket, held the needles and threads, and held the soles of her shoes with needles and needles. It was getting colder and colder, so she had to make these shoes for the girl as soon as possible.
The candle wick exploded in the air with a grin. A few dots of starfire collided and landed on Yun Xiao’s hand. Although the starfire wasn’t hot, it also brought Yun Xiao back to her senses. She raised her head and saw the four lamps in front of her. Her heart gradually warmed. She looked to the other side of Chun Lan. Under the dim candlelight, there were still needles and threads embroidered on the sole of her shoes. “Chun Lan, it’s already so late, go to sleep.”
Chun Lan raised her head and saw Yun Xiao looking at her. Her face turned red and she said, “This servant is not tired yet. Is this girl going to bed? This servant will serve you to bed, right?”
Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “It’s fine. You should go to sleep quickly. I’ll do it myself.” She finally persuaded Chun Lan to go back to sleep.
As soon as Chun Lan left, Yun Xiao said in a deep voice, “Since you’re here, come out.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a familiar figure appeared in the room. The man was wearing a moon-white robe with a gentle and elegant face. He looked at her with a smile and said, “Let’s go now.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly, blowing out the light in front of her, leaving only one. “You’re really bold, you actually dare to barge into Yun Mansion.”
Although she said that, her eyes were filled with envy. It would be good if she had the ability to climb rocks and dodge like this. However, Yun Xiao also knew that her current bone frame was no longer suitable for her to practice martial arts. Even if she wanted to go, Lu shi and Yun Maozhe would probably not allow it.
Hearing what she said, Rong Jin frowned and said unworriedly, “Your Yun Mansion’s courtyard is too useless. It’s good to guard the courtyard and resist ordinary curfews. If someone is slightly stronger, this courtyard will be decorated.”
Yun Xiao snorted coldly. She actually looked down on the Yun Clan’s guards so badly, but she also knew that Rong Jin was telling the truth. “Do you think it would be so easy to invite some guards with good martial arts skills? Otherwise, I would have invited them here a long time ago.”
Those who were strong in martial arts had to be loyal. That would be very difficult to find. It was indeed easy to find those who were strong in martial arts. However, if such a person came to take his life, he would be the meat on the chopping board at that time. He would be kneaded by others.
Rong Jin sized up the room and said calmly, “Qing Mo, come back and let her protect you.”
“What?” Qing Mo? Yun Xiao had witnessed her martial arts before, so it would naturally be great if she could be invited here. However, wasn’t this for Ruo Ruo’s bodyguard? “No need, if you have connections, you can help me find one. Qing Mo, protect Ruo Ruo.”
“Ruo Ruo won’t be in danger even if she doesn’t have Qing Mo by her side.”
Yun Xiao did not believe this. When she first met Ruo Ruo, Ruo Ruo was kidnapped. Yun Xiao remembered this very well. “No need, just get one for me. I’ll give you the monthly money.”
Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao in astonishment, and finally nodded. He did not force her, “Do you want to leave now?”
“Let’s go.” Such a rare dark and windy night was naturally a good time for revenge. Yun Xiao blew out the last lamp and soon disappeared from the room.
Two figures walked out of the Yun Clan’s courtyard. Soon, they got on a completely white horse. There was a tuft of black hair on the horse’s forehead. It was very unique.
Even if Yun Xiao didn’t recognize a horse, she knew that it was a good horse. Sitting in front of Rong Jin again, Yun Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Rong Jin took out a cloak, wrapped Yun Xiao’s body, and brought her into his embrace, “Don’t move.”
Warm breathing sprayed on her head. Yun Xiao felt that her body was numb. She coughed dryly and ignored the embarrassment. A cold wind blew over, causing her to shiver. The warmth coming from his body made Yun Xiao very greedy, and she didn’t want to let go just like that.
Perhaps, he liked Rong Jin a little bit, didn’t he?
Yun Xiao kept asking herself in her heart. She shook her head and abandoned all distracting thoughts. Let her be so presumptuous this time. In a few days, Rong Jin would leave this place forever.
She closed her eyes and tried to ignore the bitterness in her heart.
“When are you leaving?”
“Will you come and see me off?”
“Perhaps not.”
“I’ll send you a message when I leave.”
After the two questions and answers, no one spoke. Only the sound of horse hooves could be heard on the wide road.
Not long after, the horse finally stopped. Rong Jin turned around and got off the horse. Then, he naturally carried Yun Xiao down. He smiled and said, “This is the first time I’ve done something like this. It has a different flavor.”
When Yun Xiao heard this, she knew that Rong Jin was talking about the purpose of their trip. A trace of warmth and embarrassment surged in her heart. “If you haven’t done it before, then go back first. I’ll sneak in myself.”
She was very familiar with the Third Prince’s Mansion. There were no hidden passages or secret passages. She knew everything. Even if the guards changed every once in a while, they would still be able to get close to each other. If they really managed to sneak in, it would not be impossible for them to do so.
No matter what, she had lived in this house for seven years in her previous life, and she had also wasted seven years here.
Seeing Yun Xiao’s gloomy expression, Rong Jin’s gaze was slightly sharp. “What are you doing so seriously?” After he finished speaking, he first hid the horse, then brought Yun Xiao over the wall and entered.
With the experience of coming to the Third Prince’s Mansion during the day, he was familiar with it no matter how he put it this time.
Just as she entered the Third Prince’s Mansion, Rong Jin was about to lead Yun Xiao forward, but she was stopped by Yun Xiao. She firmly said, “I’ll take you away.”
Rong Jin was slightly stunned. He remembered that he had indeed been brought out of the Third Prince by Yun Xiao last time. He did not struggle at all and immediately followed behind Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao walked all the way with a faint sadness in her eyes and a determined expression. Counting the time, after Yun Xiao and Rong Jin hid in a rockery, Rong Jin was about to ask why when he heard a group of guards coming this way and looked at Yun Xiao in surprise.
What kind of person was this woman? Why was he so familiar with the Third Prince’s Mansion? He even knew how to avoid the guards in the manor. If it was just one time, he would think that it was a coincidence. However, he had skillfully avoided the guards’ search several times in succession. He had no choice but to examine the woman in front of him again.
“Who exactly are you?”
Yun Xiao heard his deep voice and knew that Rong Jin suspected her. She laughed mockingly, “Naturally, I am the Yun Family’s fourth girl.” It was just the Yun Family’s fourth girl who had died once.
“Do you believe me?” Yun Xiao stared fixedly at that person’s eyebrows, her heart faintly filled with anticipation.
“Yes.” Her thin lips opened and closed, and she spat out a single word, but it was more pleasant to Yun Xiao’s ears than any other words.
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth rose slightly, and she suddenly felt that it was a good feeling to be trusted by others.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Rong Jin no longer asked. He turned around and followed behind Yun Xiao, moving forward bit by bit. Because Yun Xiao was very clear about the guards in the Third Prince’s mansion, this time, although the two of them broke into other people’s mansions, they seemed to be taking leisure strides, as if they were admiring the delicacy of the night.
“Wait a moment!” Rong Jin’s gaze was a little blurry as he walked into the inner mansion and didn’t meet anyone from the Third Prince’s mansion. He always felt that something was wrong here, but he didn’t know what was wrong.
Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment before she suddenly noticed that she was heading straight for the courtyard where she lived in her previous life. Her low gaze was slightly strange, filled with frustration, connection, and an indescribable hatred. “Sorry, we’re from here.”
After she finished speaking, she took Rong Jin to another direction. Rong Jin looked at her doubtfully. He was not afraid that he would be tricked by Yun Xiao, so he followed her. Every time he saw Yun Xiao’s back, he would feel that this woman had a very deep story.
The two of them quickly hid in a rockery. After Yun Xiao groped around the rockery for a moment, a ray of light emerged from the rockery. Rong Jin sized up the woman beside him again, but without saying a word, he followed Yun Xiao inside.
After walking for a few steps, Yun Xiao suddenly stopped and said, “Will you break the mechanism? These are all mechanisms. If you can’t, we’ll go up the road.” She only knew how to get in, but she didn’t know how to crack the mechanism inside. She chose this path because it was the safest path. She had always known that this path led to Li Qiaolan’s courtyard.
Rong Jin nodded, “I know a bit.” He looked at the road ahead for a while before finally pulling Yun Xiao’s hand and whispering, “Follow me closely.”
Yun Xiao’en said. She looked at Rong Jin walking to the left and right in front of her. She followed closely. When the two of them left the secret passageway, it was already half an hour later.
Standing in front of the courtyard, Yun Xiao heard a voice and immediately hid with Rong Jin. Just as she was about to hide behind a big tree, Rong Jin pulled her up to the roof.
There were two maids below who were carrying something wrapped in cloth in their hands, as if it was very heavy.
“Sister Qiuyu, what do you think Mrs. Li has done? Why did the Third Highness lock Mrs. Li up in an abandoned mansion? Housekeeper Li doesn’t plead for mercy?”
“How would I know? Let’s not interfere so much with the affairs of these masters. Otherwise, it will lead to a calamity of murder.”
“Sister Qiuyu is right. Let’s hurry up and leave.”
After the two little maids left, Rong Jin appeared with Yun Xiao in his arms. Yun Xiao looked in the direction where the two of them disappeared in surprise. She blinked her delicate eyebrows and said softly, “How could this be?” Li Qiaolan was locked up in a crippled mansion?
“How did you know the Third Prince’s concubine?”
“I have a grudge against her!” Although Yun Xiao’s voice was very small, it was exceptionally firm. A strong hatred flashed in her eyes. Yes, she hated Zhou Jingyan, and had always hated him! It was also because of Zhou Jingyan that Li Qiaolan did whatever she wanted in the Third Prince’s Mansion. In her previous life, she had taken away her child so easily and would not be punished in the slightest.
Rong Jin was slightly stunned. In the blink of an eye, he had already recovered his gentle expression. Then, he whispered, “Do you know where the abandoned house is? I’ll take you to take revenge.”
Yun Xiao only felt as if something was hitting her mental defense. She nodded and pointed in a direction.
Rong Jin glanced in that direction and picked Yun Xiao up. Then, he jumped onto the roof and quickly shuttled through it.
