Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Threaten To Catch Up
A few days had passed since the last snowfall. The snow in the courtyard had already melted. The golden sun shone on his body, making him feel warm and comfortable.

Yun Xiao held a budding plum branch in her hand. This plum branch was crushed by the heavy snow, but what made people curious was that after lying in the heavy snow for a few days, this plum branch was not frozen to death.

Yun Xiao brought Chun Lan back from the Lu Clan’s courtyard and saw a few familiar figures in her own courtyard.

A small figure quickly crashed over and hugged Yun Xiao’s calf. He blinked his eyes and whispered, “Mother, Daddy said that he was busy recently and didn’t have time to look after me, so he raised me here first.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Xiao eagerly, “Mother, you will take me in, right?”

Seeing her pitiful expression, Yun Xiao’s heart softened. “Alright, if you want to come, of course I will take you in. If you want to stay as long as you want, then stay as long as you want.” Thinking about how soon she and Rong Ruo will be separated, Yun Xiao’s heart twitched.

When Rong Ruo saw that her goal had been achieved, her face reddened slightly. “Mother, I haven’t eaten breakfast yet.”

Yun Xiao was stunned for a moment before realizing Rong Ruo’s purpose, “Alright, you wait.”

After she finished speaking, her gaze fell on Qing Mo on the other side. She nodded at her and handed the plum branch in her hand to Chun Lan. She instructed her to find a bottle and insert it before entering the kitchen.

Not long after, Rong Ruo also came in and secretly walked to Rong Ruo’s side. She smiled and said, “Mother, Daddy told Qing Mo and Qing Lin to protect us. There might be a disturbance in the near future.”

Yun Xiao’s expression flickered. There was indeed going to be chaos. It was already the 12th month, and Country of Xiyue of Prince was probably going to enter the capital as well. Naturally, there would be chaos. She just hoped that it wouldn’t affect Yun Clan. “Ruo, after dinner, I’ll take you out to play.” With Qing Mo and Qing Lin around, Yun Xiao wasn’t afraid that someone would harm them. She went out to get information.

Rong Ruo immediately agreed, and Brother Han, who had rushed over after hearing the news, immediately went into the kitchen. “Fourth sister, don’t call me if you cook delicious food.”

Yun Xiao reached out and hooked Rong Ruo’s little nose. She chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, Fourth Sister left you a portion.” Rong Ruo had only just arrived when Brother Han ran over. It seemed like Brother Han had sent people to keep an eye on this place.

Seeing Er Xiao eat breakfast together, Yunxiao said that she was going out. Brother Han immediately followed. Yunxiao frowned and agreed. Because something happened to Yun Clan a while ago, Brother Han’s studies also stopped. This time, she went out to see if she could find a good husband for Brother Han.

The three of them brought their maids and attendants out. Because with Er Xiao, So Yun Xiao didn’t go anywhere else. She first went to the study to buy a few copies for Brother Han and Rong Ruo before going to Yun Lai Restaurant. As she passed by the hall, there were three people sitting at a table near the stairs. One of them said, “Do you know that the Third Prince’s concubine was killed last night? Is this true?”

“Of course it’s true. My cousin works in the Third Prince’s Mansion. He said it himself. I heard that he died a very miserable death.”

When Yun Xiao heard these two words, she frowned. She did not have the slightest doubt about what she expected. She calmly took Er Xiao to the second floor. Just as she was about to go to her private room, someone dressed as a servant blocked her way. “Fourth young miss, please talk to my father.”

Yun Xiao frowned slightly. This person was Zhou Jingyan’s loyal servant, Sun Wei. She had seen him in her previous life. Since he had come to invite her, she must have received Zhou Jingyan’s instructions. “Who is your father?” She wanted to see what Zhou Jingyan could say.

Brother Han and Rong Ruo sized up the man for a while, and the more they looked at him, the more they disliked him. “Fourth sister, can we not go? What’s there to look at?”

The alarm in Rong Ruo’s heart shouted loudly. How could someone invite her mother at this time? Daddy hasn’t married his mother yet. He must keep an eye on her and don’t let anyone kidnap her. “Yes, auntie, you said to bring us here to eat delicious food.”

Sun Wei said respectfully, “My father has already prepared tea.”

“Are we allowed in?” Rong Ruo stared at Sun Wei dryly, but in fact, she continued to look at Sun Wei quietly.

Sun Wei received an order to invite Yun Xiao in, but the two children beside Yun Xiao did not say anything.

Yun Xiao naturally understood what he meant. The corner of her mouth hooked slightly, “Since I promised the two children, I can’t break my promise. I’ll catch up with your father another day.” Li Qiaolan had just died when he came looking for him with eagerness. However, Yun Xiao would never forget that in her previous life, the tragedy of the Yun Clan had all happened because of Zhou Jingyan.

“Fourth Young Lady, stop!” Sun Wei was anxious when she made a move to leave.

This voice? Yun Xiao turned around and saw the man wearing a light blue robe standing not far away. His hair was tied up, and his temperament was as warm as jade. When Yun Xiao saw this figure, her eyes narrowed slightly. Then, her entire body relaxed and she smiled as she saluted. “The maiden greeted His Highness the Third Prince.”

Zhou Jingyan slowly walked forward and said, “Fourth Young Lady, you’re welcome. I just want to apologize to Fourth Young Lady for what happened yesterday. I wonder if Fourth Young Lady is willing to give me this chance?”

The corners of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled upwards. Only she knew that the palms under her wide sleeves were tightly clenched together, and her palms were cold. “Third Highness, are you joking? This matter has nothing to do with you.”

‘”Not really. No matter what, the banquet was hosted by me. The fourth young miss was wronged at the banquet, so it naturally has something to do with me. Besides, Qiaolan also said something unpleasant to the fourth young miss.” Zhou Jingyan stared at Yun Xiao’s eyes for a while before softly saying, “Could it be that the fourth young miss still hates me?”

“Your Highness, you must be joking. Even if my status is low, I, Yun Xiao, know what is right and wrong. I will not harm the innocent. Your Highness, you are overthinking it.”

“Fourth Young Lady has left me speechless. However, I have something to gift. May I know if Fourth Young Lady is interested?” Zhou Jingyan had a smile on his face, and there was a faint smile between his eyebrows.

Seeing that Yun Xiao did not say anything, he said softly, “Yesterday, fourth young miss Guan painted in the style of Jushi Liu Chan. Coincidentally, I have a copy of Jushi Liu Chan’s Liu Lin Road Seeking Diagram in my hand. I wonder if fourth young miss is interested?”

Resident Scholar Liu Chan? Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. In her previous life, she had taken Master Liu Chan as her master. She had an extremely strange temperament. She was over the age of eighteen, and even if she begged for ten days, it was not as good as cooking a meal. It was also because of a meal that she had formed an affinity with Master Liu Chan. She had been a master and apprentice for three years, but she had not even seen the last side of Master before she died.

At that time, Zhou Jingyan was participating in the competition for the first wife, so he was forbidden from going out, and thus missed out on Master’s last chance.

In her previous life, she had never heard of Zhou Jingyan holding her master’s book, The Willow Forest Road-Seeking Diagram, He clearly knew that he and Liu Chan were apprentices, but he never said that this picture was in his hands. And Liu Chan had only done seven paintings in her life. Her lifelong wish was to gather all the lost paintings. However, until she died, she was missing two paintings, one of which was Liu Lin’s Road Seeking Painting.

Yun Xiao’s heart pounded, and she couldn’t conceal the joy in her heart. The regrets of her previous life before her master died, in this life, she had to help her master make up for it no matter what!

Yun Xiao tried her best to calm herself down, and her gaze slowly became slightly calm. She said indifferently, “What conditions do you have?” Zhou Jingyan was a scheming man. As long as there was anything strange in front of him, he could guess.

She looked at him, and Zhou Jingyan also looked at Yun Xiao. His gaze carried a faint estrangement as he whispered, “As long as the fourth young miss goes in with me to chat, this painting will naturally belong to the fourth young miss.”

Yun Xiao did not think that going in to chat was really reminiscing about the past. She tightly held her own palm and said, “Are you serious?”

If Yun Xiao had thought that Zhou Jingyan was going to explain what had happened before, she would not have thought so now.

Zhou Jingyan smiled and said to Sun Wei, “Take out that painting.”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao waited here. She first looked at the painting to see if it was real or not.

Not long after, Sun Wei turned around and held a painting in his hand.

Yun Xiao took the palm of her hand. unfold the painting, This painting was indeed the same as Master’s description. Yun Xiao specifically looked at the signature. It was indeed very similar to Master’s. She raised the painting and looked at the light for a few times before she could clearly see that there were still Master’s words, Liu Chan and Qing Feng in the signature. Therefore, she would add the words “Qingfeng” to the signature. This habit was not known by many people.

And this painting has the word “cool breeze”. It seems that it is indeed an authentic painting.

After thinking for a long time, Yun Xiao said softly, “I can go in, but it’s better for the two children to let them wait outside for a while.”

Zhou Jingyan withdrew the painting and handed it to Sun Wei. He turned around and walked into the private room. “Since Fourth Young Lady said that, I naturally won’t force it.”

Just as Brother Han and Rong Ruo wanted to catch up, Yun Xiao stopped them. “Brother Han, Ruo Ruo, wait in the box over there. I’ll be there in a moment.”

Just as Brother Han was about to say that she was unwilling to part, Rong Ruo stopped her. Rong Ruo smiled and said, “Auntie, you go quickly, quickly go back.”

Yun Xiao rubbed their hair and followed behind Zhou Jingyan.

After Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingyan disappeared from the stairs, Sun Wei waved his hand and four more people surrounded Rong Ruo and Brother Han.

Brother Han’s expression darkened as he berated, “You cheated!”

“So what? Grab it! Move less!” After Sun Wei gave the order, he didn’t forget to warn him.

“Yes!” The four of them answered and headed in the direction of Brother Han and Rong Ruo. Just as Brother Han wanted to call for help, he felt his body suddenly floating in the air and was picked up. Before Brother Han could react, the four people surrounding him were already beaten down.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Sun Wei wanted to run to inform Zhou Jingyan. However, he didn’t take a few steps before a heavy object hit his legs. Immediately after, something was stuffed into his mouth. He wanted to spit it out, but the medicine melted at the mouth.

Just as he was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide, a heavy punch struck him and he fainted.

Rong Ruo looked at Brother Han who was stunned. She smiled and said, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and enter the room.”

Brother Han oh oh oh oh twice, still in a daze. Seeing Rong Ruo walk into the room, he immediately followed.

Behind them, Qing Mo and Qing Lin carried two people and followed behind. As for Sun Wei, he was kicked forward by Qing Lin.

After entering the room, Rong Ruo asked Qing Lin to take out the poison from their mouths. Normally, the mouths of the dead would be filled with poison that could kill themselves. After taking out the medicine, Rong Ruo held the teapot and poured it on their faces one by one, waking them up. He raised his eyebrows and said, “This time, let’s see who caught who.”
