Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Come a Step Too Late
Rong Ruo saw that she could not find anything from those people’s mouths, so she gave them a fierce kick and turned around to leave.

Brother Han had never encountered such a situation before and immediately followed behind Rong Ruo. Her delicate little face was still slightly pale. Her pair of obsidian-like eyes were embedded in her face, shining with a faint light. She looked pitifully at Rong Ruo’s small figure, “Ruo Ruo, what should we do now? They have captured Fourth Sister, why don’t I go report it to the police?”

Rong Ruo turned around and looked at Brother Han’s innocent expression. She wanted to ruthlessly poke Brother Han’s head with her finger. “The Third Prince is a descendant of the Heavenly Clan. Do you think it would be useful to report him to the official?” Besides, those people only invited their mother over to speak. They didn’t kidnap their mother. It’s useless even if they were to report it to the police. This restaurant belongs to your Yun Clan. Go and warn the servants of the restaurant to keep an eye on the private room. If anything happens, immediately notify us. “In front of Brother Han, he had already addressed Yun Xiao as mother. Although Brother Han was puzzled, he didn’t care about it.

Brother Han was only frightened for a moment. After hearing Rong Ruo’s words, he also woke up. His little face turned red. He coughed dryly and immediately ran out.

When Brother Han’s figure disappeared from the room, Rong Ruo immediately gave Qing Mo a look and asked Qing Mo to catch up to protect Brother Han’s safety.

He looked at the sky and his small face was full of confusion. “My father should be here by now, right?”

“Back to Little Master, Master must have already arrived.” Mo Lin respectfully replied.

Rong Ruo’s little face was immediately filled with surprise. He walked to Sun Wei and the others’ side and knocked them unconscious. Then, he walked out. Just as he reached the staircase, he heard Yun Xiao’s voice coming from the other side of the room. Although the voice was very small, it could already be heard clearly by Rong Ruo. The voice was filled with fear and fear. It was trembling so much that it made people feel unsympathetic.

However, Rong Ruo did not intend to go over to help. She only quickened her pace and ran downstairs.

Just as she left the Cloud Restaurant, something flew towards her. Rong Ruo reached out and took it. A heaven-shaking sound of firecrackers rang out in her ears. Rong Ruo’s eyes narrowed as she threw away the outer skin of the firecracker in her hand. She saw that there was already a group of people not far ahead.

The man at the front was dressed in a black python robe, wearing black leather boots. His black hair was tied up. Half of his face was covered in a ebony mask, and his entire body emitted an indifferent aura of mediocrity. He only revealed cold and thin lips and a fair and delicate chin. Even though he could only see half of his face, it had already fascinated many people.

The people on both sides of the road continued to follow his horses forward, leaving behind cheers wherever they passed.

“You see, this is the Crown Prince of West Vietnam. The aura around him is not inferior to our Crown Prince’s.”

“That’s right. Look, just seeing half of his face can’t help but attract people’s imagination. I wonder what kind of divine steed he will be if he takes off his mask.”

“Perhaps that half of his face is disfigured. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince of West Vietnam has never taken off his ebony mask. No one knows what His Highness the Crown Prince looks like.”

“How could it be?” …

Rong Ruo snorted coldly as she listened to their conversation. Looking at the man in front of him, his expression was slightly stiff. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw a man wearing a moon-white robe not far away. A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth. He stood under the corridor not far away, not knowing what he was thinking.

Rong Ruo finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the white figure. He remembered that Yun Xiao was still in the same room as Zhou Jingyan, and her expression became even more unhappy. She wished she could immediately pull Rong Jin over to save her.

However, Rong Ruo looked back and saw that the men behind the black-clothed man were several hundred meters away. When these people finished walking, she would wear them to look for her father. At that time, something must have happened to her mother.

If she had known that she would encounter this person, Rong Ruo would not have circled around and directly went to save her own life. However, Rong Ruo was not confident that she could save Yun Xiao in her heart. However, now that they had all come down, they had to ask Daddy to save their mother. Daddy said that he was leaving this place. If he didn’t create some opportunities, he would probably never see his mother again in the future.

She only hoped that through this opportunity, she could let her father save her beauty with a hero, so that her mother would always remember her father. When the time came, she would let her father marry her mother. This was the best.

He had originally wanted to convince his mother to go with them today, but who knew that before he could say anything, Zhou Jingyan would be the first to take his mother away? Who could endure and who could not endure!

His obsidian-like eyes rolled around, and he already had an idea in his heart.

The corner of her eyes lit up as she looked back. Behind her was a cold and respectful Qing Lin. Rong Ruo smiled dryly and ran forward before he could stop her.

Rong Ruo’s body was extremely petite, and she had also learned martial arts, so her figure was extremely fast. In just a short moment, she passed through the man riding the horse at the front.

No one would have thought that such a scene would actually occur during the ceremony to welcome Country of Xiyue Prince. The guards blocking from both sides did not notice Rong Ruo’s small figure, so the crowd did not react to stop her and allowed Rong Ruo to run over.

However, because of Rong Ruo’s move, the horse at the front was shocked.

The horse raised its hooves high and was about to charge forward, but Country of Xiyue Prince, who was on the horse, did not panic in the slightest. He stretched out his hand and patted the horse a few times, causing the horse to strangely calm down. It was very obedient under his palm.

This scene caused everyone to stretch out in unison. They didn’t expect that the Crown Prince of West Vietnam was actually a formidable figure.

Zhao Jie, the assistant minister responsible for picking up the Crown Prince of Xi Yue, changed his expression and shouted at Rong Ruo’s figure, “Someone, capture that child!”

However, Rong Ruo turned around and chuckled at the two of them, her eyes carrying a hint of mockery. When the officers and soldiers rushed over, his figure had already disappeared.

The officers and men and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites were busy catching Rong Ruo. When the Crown Prince of Xi Yue saw that tiny figure, he frowned slightly. There was a trace of displeasure in his gaze, and even his voice was even more indifferent. His magnetic and pleasant voice carried a trace of impatience. “Forget it, there’s no need to chase after him.”

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites was stunned, “Crown Prince?” Although Rong Xuan was not the Crown Prince of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he was still the Crown Prince.

Under Rong Xuan’s mask, his eyebrows were tightly knitted. He had already seen Rong Jin’s expression change after hearing what Rong Ruo had said. Then, he hugged Rong Ruo and disappeared from the spot.

Since Rong Ruo and Rong Jin were able to change their expressions at the same time, something must have happened.

At this moment, his ears moved as if he heard a familiar voice. He suddenly raised his hand and said sternly, “Stop!” Without waiting for the crowd to react, he turned around and dismounted, heading towards the Cloud Restaurant.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites was slightly stunned. His old face turned red as he immediately dismounted from his horse and chased after him. “Your Highness, my Emperor has already prepared a palace for you” Before he could finish his sentence, the black figure disappeared from the entrance of the Cloud Restaurant.

“Surround the restaurant and protect the Crown Prince of Xi Yue. Follow me,” the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites said with an ugly expression. After he finished his instructions, the official quickly surrounded Yun Lai Restaurant and finally brought a few guards inside.

As soon as he entered, the shopkeeper came out and greeted him, “My lord …”

“Where did the one who just entered go?” At this moment, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites was too lazy to greet each other. He directly went straight to the point. If he lost the Crown Prince of Xi Yue, even a hundred lives would not be enough for the Emperor to kill him.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he naturally didn’t dare to hide anything. He pointed to a private room and said respectfully, “It’s over there.”

After the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites heard this, he didn’t need to talk to the shopkeeper anymore and immediately ran to the second floor with his personal guard.

However, just as he reached the second floor, he saw a group of guards dressed in black brocade garments guarding the door. They had a respectful expression and did not have any emotions on their faces. Just a glance at them would scare everyone away.

When he first saw these people, he was also shocked. The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites walked forward and said respectfully, “Is His Highness Country of Xiyue Prince inside? Excuse me for reporting.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the guard immediately replied, “I can’t see you.”

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites felt that his face was shameful and he coughed dryly, “It’s better for you to go in and report. The Imperial Palace has already hosted a banquet for the Crown Prince.” He was a person from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so he naturally thought for the sake of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, causing the Emperor and many ministers to wait for too long. He could only say that he did not even want his head at that time.

Moreover, this Prince Country of Xiyue was also a headache. He walked well halfway. Why didn’t he leave when he got here? It would be better to go to the Imperial Palace for dinner if he entered the Cloud Restaurant.

Right at this moment, there was another commotion downstairs. The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites originally didn’t want to pay attention, but when he heard the shopkeeper say that it was His Highness the Crown Prince.

He couldn’t help but immediately turn around. Sure enough, what he saw was Zhou Jingchen wearing a light yellow robe. He had an embarrassed expression and immediately ran downstairs. “Your Highness Prince, why are you here?”

Zhou Jingchen’s gentle and elegant expression carried a hint of harshness as he glanced sideways at him, “What happened to Country of Xiyue Prince?” Fortunately, Father Emperor told him to come and welcome him. Halfway through, he heard that something had happened here and quickly ran over.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites naturally did not dare to conceal anything. He told the whole story. Zhou Jingchen frowned, his gaze also carrying a faint displeasure. Just as he went up to the second floor, he saw a small figure anxiously running back and forth on the plagiarizing corridor. He accidentally bumped into him.

The guard beside him was about to capture the child and throw it out, but Zhou Jingchen stopped him. He immediately recognized that this was Yun Clan’s Fifth Young Master and also Yun Clan’s Fourth Young Lady’s direct younger brother. “What’s going on?”

Brother Han didn’t know Zhou Jingchen, but seeing so many people suddenly appear here, his heart became even more nervous. “My fourth sister is gone, Ruo Ruo is gone …”

He had said so many people in a row, but unfortunately, Zhou Jingchen only heard one sentence-Yunxiao was gone. He ordered people to find her, “You guys go find Fourth Miss Yun Clan.”

Cold sweat broke out on the forehead of the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. “Your Highness, the matter with the Crown Prince of Xi Yue is more important now.”

How could Zhou Jingchen not know that he should meet the Crown Prince of Xi Yue first? However, for some reason, when he heard that something had happened to the Yun Family’s fourth young lady, his heart tightened. “I don’t think it’s up to you to point out what I’m doing.”

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites didn’t dare to say anything else and immediately ordered to find someone.

In the private room, Rong Jin hugged Rong Ruo and inspected the room. He did not find any traces of Yun Xiao, nor did he leave anything unusual on the scene.

Rong Ruo had a bitter face and a face full of self-blame. If he had stayed and stalled for a while, her mother would not have been kidnapped. “Daddy, it’s all my fault.”

Rong Jin touched Rong Ruo’s hair, and a cold light flashed in his dark eyes. “Don’t worry, Daddy will save her.”

The door was opened and the man in black walked in. The ebony mask on his face emitted a faint flowing light. As soon as he entered, he asked coldly, “Where is she?”

“Too late.”
