Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 165

Chapter 165 Till We Meet Again
Not long after, Rong Jin’s figure finally stopped. Because the two of them were dressed in white, they jumped on the snow-covered roof. No one noticed them. Of course, Rong Jin brought her along with him. With Yun Xiao’s guidance on how to avoid the patrolling guards, they were safe and sound, and no one noticed them.

Of course. The smooth journey was naturally thanks to Rong Jin. Every time he came into contact with the ground, he would take out the soft sword that he had been holding at his waist and use it to touch the roof to borrow strength. Therefore, there were no traces left on the journey.

Yun Xiao still couldn’t believe it until her foot finally touched the ground. If she knew that Rong Jin had this kind of ability, how would she waste her time avoiding the guards and going into the secret path?

Rong Jin looked at the chagrined woman beside him, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

However, Yun Xiao did not feel annoyed for too long. She heard a sound from outside the courtyard. The two of them immediately concealed themselves and saw a maidservant wearing a navy green sandwich jacket walk out of the room. She looked left and right and stamped her feet anxiously and impatiently with an unhappy expression. “Why are those two dead girls moving so slowly?”

Not long after she finished speaking, two maids appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, carrying something that seemed very heavy in their hands.

She immediately rushed forward and said unworriedly, “Why are you all moving so slowly? Do you want to climb higher after seeing Madam punished? Don’t forget that Madam’s father is the head butler of our manor. With the head butler here, Madam will definitely be doted on by His Highness the Third Prince again.”

The two maids lowered their heads repeatedly to admit their mistakes, which made the arrogant maidservant feel very useful. They instructed the two maidservants to carry the things in and took the bronze basin from the other maidservant into the room.

Inside the room, Li Qiaolan’s face was deathly pale. She still couldn’t believe that she had actually been beaten into a crippled mansion.

Thinking of that scene, Li Qiaolan’s body couldn’t help but tremble.

Today, after all the guests left, Zhou Jingyan gently picked her up. At that time, she was filled with joy. She originally thought that Zhou Jingyan would not punish her. Unexpectedly, Zhou Jingyan had only just arrived at his courtyard when he fiercely threw her onto the ground.

The bone-piercing pain made her senses even clearer. Before she could cry out for pain, she knelt down and admitted her mistake, hoping to get Zhou Jingyan’s forgiveness.

However, Zhou Jingyan only snorted coldly, “Let your father speak.”

She did not dare to get up and could only instruct the maidservant to invite Steward Li.

After Butler Li came, he also knelt down with a plump sound. “This little girl is ignorant. She made a big mistake. This servant does not ask the Third Prince to let her go. I only ask His Highness to leave her with a complete corpse.”

She was frightened at that time. She didn’t expect her father to say that he wanted her dead. She called her father like crazy, but Butler Li gave her a hard kick and knelt on the ground. “Quickly kneel down!”

She was used to being domineering. She had never seen such a scene before, but Zhou Jingyan’s expression was even gloomier. Zhou Jingyan did not look at Zhou Jingyan, but stared at Steward Li. “Do you have any complaints if I execute your daughter?”

“This servant has never complained!” The six words came out of Steward Li’s mouth with endless coldness. At that moment, the blood in her entire body seemed to freeze.

Zhou Jingyan slowly walked down and personally helped Steward Li up. He smiled and said, “You have always been loyal to me. Although Qiao Lan did something wrong, it was also for my sake. I can ignore what happened today, but I don’t want to do it again. So, do you have any complaints about locking Qiao Lan up in a crippled mansion?”

“Your Highness’s great kindness is something that this servant will never forget!”

With just these two words, she was really imprisoned in a crippled mansion, and her closest father actually didn’t dare to plead for mercy.

Li Qiaolan felt a pain in her chest. She coughed a few times and covered her mouth with a handkerchief. A sweet smell spat out from her mouth. After the handkerchief was removed, her hands were covered in blood.

The maidservant in the dark green jacket was frightened. She said respectfully, “Madam, what happened to you? This servant will call a doctor for you. You must hold on!”

Li Qiaolan was about to reach out and grab her when she ran out in a hurry. She only touched a corner of her clothes and cut through it.

When Yun Xiao and Rong Jin saw this scene on the roof, Yun Xiao nodded. Only then did Rong Jin take out an extremely thin thread and hung it directly above Li Qiaolan. Only then did he open a small porcelain bottle, dripping out a drop of medicine and leaving it down the thread.

The droplet seemed to be slow, but in fact, it quickly flowed to the top of Li Qiaolan’s body. However, just as the droplet was about to land on Li Qiaolan, Li Qiaolan sat up and walked off the bed.

Yun Xiao’s heart tightened. There was a trace of displeasure in her eyes. At the corner of her eyes, she saw Rong Jin gently shake the thread, and the droplet also swayed. Seeing that the droplet was only an inch away from Li Qiaolan, Rong Jin shook the thread again. The bottom of the thread slightly swung, and the droplet landed on Li Qiaolan’s neck.

After doing all of this, Rong Jin immediately retrieved the silk thread. Of course, the silk thread was wrapped in a handkerchief.

After putting down the tile, Yun Xiao said softly, “Let’s go.” Her expression was a little peculiar, and her little hand could not help but cover her stomach. Today, she could be considered to have avenged her child!

Rong Jin curled his lips and smiled, “Don’t you want to see what happens next?”

“Don’t look anymore.” Seeing the struggle before her death, she would think of herself in her previous life. She didn’t know if she would be soft-hearted at that time, but Yun Xiao didn’t want to be soft-hearted.

With Li Qiaolan dead, there would be a grudge between Butler Li and Zhou Jingyan sooner or later. This was what he wanted to see.

The two of them left the Third Prince’s Mansion all the way. A gust of wind blew by, and snowflakes danced about. They could no longer see any traces of people coming here.

However, just as the two of them walked out of the alley entrance to look for horses, a familiar figure suddenly appeared at the corner of Yun Xiao’s eyes. Yun Xiao frowned and said, “Someone is here!”

Rong Jin also noticed that there were other people there, so he immediately looked over and saw nothing. However, he was indeed able to detect a faint breathing sound here. However, this sound only disappeared in a short period of time.

Rong Jin frowned slightly. He didn’t expect that he would actually meet someone, and he would still be able to hold his breath. “Let’s go take a look.” She was also worried about leaving Yun Xiao here alone, so it would be better to bring her with her.

The two of them walked in the direction that Yun Xiao had just seen. By the time they reached the end of the alley, there was no trace of that person. Instead, they saw a note on the ground.

Just as Yun Xiao was about to pick it up, she was stopped by Rong Jin. Rong Jin used his handkerchief to pick up the note and unfolded it. There were four words written on the note, “See you later.”

These four words were still written in a hurry of blood. This handwriting had no characteristics, and Yun Xiao did not know who this person was.

Rong Jin looked in the direction that the person disappeared from before finally saying, “Let’s go back first.” The weather is getting colder and colder. I wonder if Yun Xiao’s body can hold on any longer. Otherwise, Yun Xiao will definitely be sick this night.

Yun Xiao naturally did not decline and nodded. The two of them turned around and mounted their horses, quickly disappearing into the night.

After the two of them disappeared, a black figure walked out from behind the wall. Looking in the direction where the two of them disappeared, her gaze was deep. However, she did not chase after them. Instead, she walked in another direction and got on her horse. She did not know that there was already a figure quietly following behind her.

The night was getting darker and darker. The moon was quietly retreating, and the sky was pitch black. As the sky grew darker and darker, the horse finally stopped.

Rong Jin chuckled and said, “I’ll send you in.”

Yun Xiao looked at the high wall and nodded in the end.

Rong Jin sent Yun Xiao back to the room. After Rong Jin left, Yun Xiao lay on the bed, but she couldn’t sleep for a long time. She stretched out her hands in front of her and flipped through them a few times. She muttered, “From today onwards, my hands are stained with blood.”

Ever since she was reborn, no matter what, she hadn’t taken anyone’s life. Even if she had killed Sun shi and Yun Yao at the top of the mountain the last time, she hadn’t taken Sun shi and Yun Yao’s lives.

But this time, she made a move.

Yun Xiao tightly closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the little doubt in her eyes was slowly fading away. Instead, there was a hint of determination in her eyes.

Last time, she had bypassed Madam Sun’s life, but the last thing she got was the death of Chun Lin’s son. If Li Qiaolan hadn’t wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have been so determined to take revenge.

Since she had to choose to die, Yun Xiao was absolutely unwilling to be the one to die!

Moreover, she and Li Qiaolan were enemies! Kindness to her enemies was cruelty to herself. She no longer wanted to see the people around her die because of her!

Yun Xiao rolled over and sat up. She no longer had any sleepiness. She took out a torch and lit the lamp. She held a book in her hand and continued reading.

When Rong Jin rode his horse back to the courtyard, he saw that there was already a man dressed in a black robe in the room.

The man had a faint smile on his face. In his hand were two chess pieces, one white and one black. He was playing chess with his right and left hands alone.

When he saw Rong Jin enter, he didn’t have the slightest intention of stopping. He only whispered, “You always said that you would play with your right and left hands. There’s a different flavor to it. Now I understand the meaning of this sentence.” One brain, two kinds of thinking in chess can really make one’s thinking more active.

Rong Jin chuckled. Seeing that he wasn’t sure where to put the black spot, he picked up a black spot and landed. Afterwards, he sat opposite him and said with a chuckle, “You have some leisure and elegance today.”

“Isn’t this because I can’t find anyone to play chess with?” Jiang Qing put the black piece into the chess jar and stared at the chessboard, not leaving a single piece behind for a long time.

Rong Jin did not urge him, he just smiled and said, “How is it going?”

“Your guess is correct. There is indeed someone following you. Do you want to know who that person is?” Jiang Qing finally saw a place. After pondering for a while, she felt that the position was not bad, so she simply dropped the chess piece.

Unexpectedly, just as his chess piece landed, Rong Jin twisted a chess piece and blocked the top of the chess piece, “You lost.”

His faint voice stunned Jiang Qing. He sized up the chessboard and sighed with an indescribable regret. “I really lost. When can I win against you?”

“There will be a chance,” Rong Jin said as he picked up his cup and took a sip. Along the way, he was indeed thirsty. “You haven’t finished yet.”

Jiang Qing coughed dryly. He didn’t expect that Rong Jin wouldn’t forget what he said before. He looked at Rong Jin’s eyebrows and whispered, “Xiao Clan’s Eldest Young Lady.”

Hearing that, Rong Jin threw away the chess piece in his hand and walked to the side of the soft couch, holding a medical book and reading it.

Jiang Qing stared blankly at Rong Jin. Was he sent away just like that?
