Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha
Yun Xiao followed behind Rong Xun into the main hall and looked up to see that the messy clothes on the ground hadn’t been tidied up yet.

He looked sideways in the direction of the room, his calm and unperturbed gaze carrying traces of inquiry.

Someone wanted to stop Rong Xun from entering, but Rong Xun rolled his eyes and stopped.

The man not far away had a faint smile on his face, and his gaze was filled with an expression of understanding.

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly. Seeing Rong Xun standing beside her, she immediately felt confident in her heart. She hurriedly walked forward and said, “This servant greets His Highness the Crown Prince. Greetings to His Highness the Fifth Prince. Greetings to the Eldest Princess.”

Zhou Jingchen graciously said, “Get up. Where have you been during this period of time?”

Yun Xiao’s face was hesitant as she bit her lip, as if she wanted to say something.

On the other side, Zhou Chongyu said loudly, “Siyun, don’t tell me where you went. You don’t even know? Tell me everything you know.”

Unexpectedly, just as he finished speaking, a maidservant pointed at Yun Xiao’s nose and said, “Eldest Princess, it’s her. She invited the county princess in, and she was the last one to leave this room.”

Before Yun Xiao could look at the maidservant who was speaking, she heard footsteps rushing towards her. Her expression was filled with resentment, and her fingers painted with red Dan Kou raised high up, wishing to tear Yun Xiao apart.

However, before she could reach Yun Xiao, Rong Xun, who was walking over, tapped her acupoints. He looked at her with a resentful expression, and his eyes flickered with flames that devoured everything.

Although Rong Xun did not say anything, he was wearing the ebony ghost mask. Under the dim light, the indifferent aura on his body became even denser, and a strong killing intent could be felt in the room in an instant.

Everyone did not say anything. Yun Xiao only lifted the corner of her mouth and did not move. She directly ignored the indifference around her, her eyes carrying unconcealable mockery.

Before Yun Xiao could speak, Rong Xun coldly mocked, “Eldest Princess, although you have seniority here, you are not the main one.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s expression was ugly, and his face was as dark as the night outside.

Yun Xiao only scratched her body for a while and took out the female ring that Rong Xun had stuffed into her bosom.

She flipped through it twice and respectfully walked over to the Eldest Princess. She placed her ring in front of her and said calmly with a respectful expression, “This is the book that His Highness the Third Prince instructed this servant to go out and look for. Originally, it was intended for county princess Huining. However, the Eldest Princess is a relative of county princess Huining. She accepted the book and did not disappoint His Highness the Third Princess’ kindness’ kindness.”

She raised the book high up, and through the dim light, everyone could clearly see that there were two large “female rings” written on the cover.

Everyone naturally saw these two words clearly. The corner of Rong Xun’s mouth twitched fiercely. If he remembered correctly, this book was only given to Yun Xiao by himself. In the blink of an eye, he gave it to someone. It was a good move to offer flowers to Buddha.

Zhou Chongyu was even more fearful of the chaos in the world. He looked at County Lord Hui Ning and the Eldest Princess and smiled lightly. “Auntie, since His Highness the Third Prince ordered the maidservant to buy it, why don’t you take it?” Even the daughters who hadn’t left the pavilion could be stripped naked. If Chi Guoguo was lying with the man, he really needed a female ring to learn the rules.

Zhou Jingchen, who was in charge of the Old City, couldn’t help but twitch his lips. He raised his eyebrows with a faint smile and coughed dryly, “Fifth Emperor Brother, don’t talk nonsense.” If this female ring was accepted, wouldn’t it be slapping the Eldest Princess and County Lord Hui Ning in the face?

However, now that County Lord Hui Ning and His Highness the Third Prince were lying together, they really needed this book.

Zhou Chongyu took out a folding fan from his waist and gently flapped it in front of him. “Alright, I’ll have to trouble Big Royal Brother to deal with today’s matter.” He walked over to Rong Xun with a pleasant expression. “Your Highness, why don’t we go out and have a cup of tea first?” No matter what, this was a matter of the Eastern Jin Imperial Palace. The Crown Prince of Xi Yue could not laugh at it.

Rong Xun glanced coldly at Yun Xiao. His amber eyes contained an undetectable worry. However, he quickly relaxed and walked out. He sat down at the coffee table. However, it was absolutely impossible for him to leave. This also showed that he was able to give in.

However, before Rong Xun left, he untied the acupoints on the Eldest Princess’ body.

Once the Eldest Princess was free, she looked at Yun Xiao with an embarrassed expression. She was the daughter of the previous emperor and sacrificed her own happiness for the royal family. Because of the Eldest Princess’ contribution, she had a very high status in the royal family, so no one dared to ridicule her.

However, she did not expect that she would be ridiculed by a maid today. Her expression changed from green to white, and she was extremely embarrassed. She grabbed the book and smashed it fiercely on Yun Xiao’s forehead. “Bastard!”

She had been planning to marry her daughter to whoever would get the most benefits, but now it was good. Before she could plan, her daughter and the Third Prince were lying together. She was suffocating in her heart, and now she was even more ruthless!

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth slightly raised. He didn’t feel annoyed, However, she knelt down respectfully. She had just avoided the book that was about to hit her head. Her face was filled with fear and the corner of her mouth trembled fiercely. “Please forgive me, eldest princess. This book was indeed sent to this servant by His Highness the Third Prince. This servant had just arrived at the palace and could not find a place to buy it. I did not expect to meet His Highness the Crown Prince of West Vietnam halfway. It just so happened that His Highness had a female ring in his hand.”

She didn’t say anything later, but everyone knew that the book that the Eldest Princess had dropped belonged to His Highness the Crown Prince of West Vietnam.

The Eldest Princess did not expect that the matter would be explained like this. The corner of her mouth twitched fiercely and her entire body trembled with anger. She wished she could pull this maidservant who did not speak clearly out and cut her.

The books that the maidservant bought could be thrown away at will, even if it was something from the Eastern Jin Dynasty. However, the things from the Western Yue Kingdom were thrown away by the Crown Prince of the Western Yue Kingdom, so the matter could be big or small.

Zhou Chongyu had just drank a mouthful of tea when he was so stifled that he almost spat it out. He wanted to spit it out but couldn’t. An abnormal blush appeared on his face. He could only endure it and swallow the tea. After coughing twice, he felt that his chest was breathing smoothly.

He raised his head in surprise and looked at the silent expression on the other side. His expression did not change at all. A trace of admiration couldn’t help but arise in his heart. He coughed softly and said, “Is that female ring really yours?”

“I saw that the maidservant was anxious, so I sold it to her. However, it wasn’t a dead sale. It will be returned to me in three days.” Rong Xun held the teacup and took the lid and fiddled with the tea leaves twice. His expression was calm, and he didn’t feel any embarrassment at all.

Zhou Chongyu’s expression changed slightly. He looked into the room through the bead curtains and saw everyone in the room pricking up their ears to listen to the commotion.

He coughed dryly, “Why did the Crown Prince of Xi Yue bring a female ring with him?”

Rong Xun’s sparkling eyes darkened slightly.

At this moment, Zhou Chongyu’s plea was suppressed in his mouth.

On the other hand, the Eldest Princess’s expression became even more embarrassed after hearing those words. She stretched out a finger and pointed at Yun Xiao. Her body trembled slightly, but she was unable to say a word.

Zhou Jingchen glanced at Yun Xiao with a smile of endurance in his eyes. The corner of his mouth hooked slightly as he walked forward and picked up the female ring. After flipping through it, he frowned tightly and said, “Auntie, a page of the book is broken.”

The Eldest Princess’s legs softened and she was about to fall to the ground, but she was supported by a maid. No one expected that the eldest princess of a dignified country would be angered to such an extent by a maid.

Yun Xiao naturally heard the voice from outside. Her eyes were filled with a faint smile. She bent down and gave a big bow. In fact, it was to cover up her twitching face. “Eldest Princess, please spare me. This book is broken. This servant will never dare to compensate the Crown Prince of Xi Yue for it.” She didn’t dare to compensate with a bad book, so she definitely had to compensate with the Eldest Princess.

The Eldest Princess had an embarrassed expression, but Zhou Jingchen still walked over to the Eldest Princess with the book in hand. “Auntie, since it was the Third Emperor’s painstaking effort, you should accept it on behalf of county princess Huining first and return it to the Crown Prince of Xi Yue later.” This is naturally to return a new one to the Crown Prince of Xi Yue.

She could afford a book, but she couldn’t afford to lose face!

The Eldest Princess took the female ring and threw it in front of Yun Xiao. She harshly scolded, “Since this book was dropped because of you, you will compensate for it!”

This reason was so powerful! Yun Xiao sneered sternly. This was the weakness of the royal family. She trembled and said, “Eldest Princess, please spare my life. This book belongs to Country of Xiyue Prince. This servant cannot afford to compensate.”

“That’s your business. Since you can borrow it, you can compensate.” The Eldest Princess wished to tear Yun Xiao apart at this moment, so how could she care about how Yun Xiao compensated for her books?

After she finished speaking, she did not give Yun Xiao the chance to speak. Her face was ashen and she berated the maids beside her sternly, “What are you doing? Hurry up and call the county princess!”

The two maids respectfully walked forward and squatted beside county princess Hui Ning. They shouted a few times, but county princess Hui Ning did not have any intention of waking up. In the end, under the instructions of the Eldest Princess, she took a cup of tea and poured it on county princess Hui Ning. Then, she poured a cup of water on Zhou Jingyan.

The two of them woke up in a daze. Seeing so many people surrounding them, they slightly frown. Obviously, they still did not understand the current situation.

County princess Huining rubbed her eyes. Seeing the eldest princess’s livid face, her eyes revealed doubt, “Mother, what’s wrong with you?” Being able to make her mother so angry was definitely not a trivial matter.

She was about to stand up before she could stand up. The outer robe on her body fell off. A cold wind blew over. County princess Huining’s face was like an eggplant beaten with frost. She looked at everything in front of her in disbelief. The corner of her mouth trembled slightly. How could such a thing happen?

The corner of her mouth twitched fiercely, and she cried out with a whoosh.

The Eldest Princess hated steel, “Why are you crying? You are the county princess, your status is noble, you don’t have the qualifications to cry!”

County princess Huining felt like she was holding her breath. She looked up and saw the Eldest Princess’ embarrassed expression. She knew that things weren’t going well. She looked elsewhere and saw that Zhou Jingyan was the same as herself. He was naked and only wore an outer robe.

County princess Hui Ning’s cheeks were flushed red from the fire, followed by a burst of relaxation. Fortunately, the person with her was Zhou Jingyan, and there was a faint trace of expectation in her heart. At this moment, mother shouldn’t be able to stop herself from marrying Zhou Jingyan, right?

The corner of his eyes turned to look at the others. Seeing that there were many people in the room, the corner of his mouth stiffened slightly. Golden beans fell down and wrapped his outer robe tightly around his body. Who knew how many people had seen his body? This time, she had to dig out the eyes of those who had seen her body!

Yun Xiao looked at everything in front of her in her heart. She sneered in her heart. She immediately stood up and did not forget to pick up the female ring on the ground. The corner of her mouth smiled. She looked at Zhou Jingyan with a faint look of ridicule in her eyes. “County princess, this is the female ring that this servant requested for you on the orders of His Highness the Third Prince.”

County Lord Hui Ning lowered his head and looked. Sure enough, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly when he saw the two words “female ring” written on the cover. His long eyelashes trembled for a moment. Golden Bean was hanging on the eyesore. The eyesore blinked gently and looked at Zhou Jingyan with a puzzled expression. It was as if she wanted to say something but still wanted to say something. It made me feel even more pitiful.

Zhou Jingyan’s hand, which was rubbing his eyebrows, was slightly stiff. His bloodthirsty gaze looked at Yun Xiao, who was not far away from him, with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
