Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Be Determined To Obtain
Yun Xiao saw that Zhou Jingyan’s gaze was looking at her with an unconcealable killing intent. However, she did not feel afraid at all. Instead, a trace of coldness and determination appeared in her heart.

Now, she was facing Zhou Jingyan head-on. There was no room for manoeuvre, unless Zhou Jingyan himself was willing to do so!

Yun Xiao did not fear Zhou Jingyan’s gaze at all and knelt forward. She took out the token she had placed on her waist and said respectfully, “Third Highness, this is what you wanted this servant to leave the palace with the token. However, before this servant could leave the palace, I ran into the Crown Prince of Xi Yue. I did not want to knock the female ring out of the Crown Prince of Xi Yue’s arms.”

Her eyes flickered and the corners of her mouth curved upwards. Obviously, she did not look at Zhou Jingyan’s anger in her eyes.

Zhou Jingyan placed his gaze on Yun Xiao’s palm. Sure enough, what he saw was a token and a female ring book. This token was not an ordinary token, but a token that could command all the strength under his name. This token had always been hanging on his body. He never thought that it would actually fall into Yun Xiao’s palm today.

“Since your mission is complete, this token …”

Before she could finish her words, Yun Xiao said softly, “Thank you, Your Highness. You said that as long as this servant can get the female ring book to county princess Hui Ning in the palace, this token will be awarded to this servant. I wonder if what Your Highness said will be counted?”

Even if she didn’t count, Yun Xiao would still think of a way to let him count. She was determined to obtain this token!

As long as he obtained this token, he would be able to seriously injure Zhou Jingyan.

Others did not know what use this token was, but as the owner of the token, Zhou Jingyan knew what use it was. After hearing Yun Xiao’s words, the light in Zhou Jingyan’s eyes rose again, and intense killing intent slowly gathered in his eyes.

Zhou Jingyan’s expression was indifferent. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile. The corner of his mouth slightly raised as he gritted his teeth and said, “Naturally, count.” Under the gaze of everyone in the hall, he had already claimed that he had brought Yun Xiao into the palace. Naturally, he trusted Yun Xiao to bring her into the palace. But now, if he did not believe Yun Xiao, then he would be slapping himself in the face, making his face even more shameful.

Even if he gave this token to Yun Xiao first, it wouldn’t hurt. After leaving the palace, he immediately grabbed Yun Xiao and retrieved the token.

Yun Xiao immediately said respectfully, “This servant thanks His Highness the Third Prince for his reward.” Since you want to capture me, then you have to pay the price. However, Yun Xiao is very satisfied with the price you have recovered.

After saluting, she stood up and waited at the side. She stared at her shoes without looking sideways, and a trace of mockery rose from the corner of her mouth.

Compared to Yun Xiao’s current calm, everyone in the room revealed ferocious gazes.

Zhou Jingyan stood up with a calm expression and put on his clothes. He looked at Yun Xiao with a smile that was not a smile. He tied the belt around his outer robe and bowed respectfully to the Eldest Princess. “Greetings, aunt.”

The Eldest Princess’s face was ashen, and she was even more dissatisfied with Zhou Jingyan. Her daughter had lost her innocence by his side, but Zhou Jingyan was still able to be calm. This was something that every mother could not endure.

Her expression was ruthless. She did not ask Zhou Jingyan to stand up. She only snorted coldly, “Hui Ning, what exactly happened here? Tell me, Mother will make the decision for you!” Her daughter couldn’t be bullied for nothing.

Although county princess Hui Ning had to marry Zhou Jingyan now, the eldest princess had to express her attitude. Regardless of whether Zhou Jingyan had any thoughts of seizing the first wife’s position, she had to earn her daughter a position as imperial concubine.

County Lord Hui Ning grew up with the Eldest Princess. He naturally understood what the Eldest Princess wanted to say. He concealed the surprise that flashed in his eyes and said with a sob, “Daughter doesn’t know either. She just entered this room and felt a pain in her shoulder and fainted.” Although she had seen Zhou Jingyan lying on the ground, she had to clear herself of her responsibilities at this moment. Otherwise, people would think that she was doing it on purpose.

A woman without innocence was already looked down upon. County princess Hui Ning didn’t want to be looked down upon by others. She wanted to be the noble Third Princess, the person of the future Empress!

County princess Hui Ning looked at the female ring that Yun Xiao had stuffed into her bosom. Thinking of Yun Xiao again, what else did she not understand? All of this was designed by Yun Xiao.

Zhou Jingyan invisibly wrinkled his eyes. His eyes unconsciously landed on Yun Xiao, who was standing on the other side. He could already confirm that it was Yun Xiao who had made the move.

What Zhou Jingyan didn’t know was why Yun Xiao did this. What good would it do for her? He had clearly told Yun Xiao that he would go to the Yun Clan to propose marriage. Since he was proposing marriage, he would naturally marry Yun Xiao as the main concubine.

But now, this woman pushed the position of the Third Prince’s imperial concubine to someone else? Was he despising himself?

The more Zhou Jingyan thought about it, the angrier his expression became. However, he still had to endure it.

He looked at Yun Xiao and saw that Yun Xiao was smiling at him in a corner that no one could see, causing Zhou Jingyan’s heart to be filled with anger.

The Eldest Princess looked embarrassed when she heard county princess Hui Ning’s words. She endured her anger and looked at Zhou Jingyan, “Third Highness, what do you say?”

Zhou Jingyan’s eyes narrowed. He had always been quite deep in the city, and his gentle face made it hard to see what he was thinking.

County princess Hui Ning once told him that she had the ability to predict the future. He was the future emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and county princess Hui Ning was the future empress. He had always been skeptical because he had never thought of marrying county princess Hui Ning. County princess Hui Ning’s status was noble, but unfortunately, it did not help him much.

Thinking of this, Zhou Jingyan looked embarrassed. “Reporting to aunt, I don’t know what happened. Please give me some time.”

The Eldest Princess was finally satisfied with Zhou Jingyan’s words. She looked at Yun Xiao again. Her sharp gaze fell on Yun Xiao. If her eyes could kill, Yun Xiao would probably have died countless times.

She looked at Yun Xiao and said to Zhou Jingyan, “Alright, I’ll give you time.” With a sharp expression, she said, “Siyun, what exactly happened here?”

Yun Xiao curtsied. He said respectfully, “His Highness the Third Prince is drunk, Her face flushed red. He instructed this servant to help His Highness the Third Prince return to rest first. This servant helped His Highness the Third Prince into the palace and wanted to find Imperial Kitchen to prepare a bowl of sober-up soup. However, as soon as I went out, I met County Lord Hui Ning and invited County Lord Hui Ning into the house. His Highness the Third Prince tested this servant and asked this servant to buy a female ring. He also gave this servant a token. After this servant went, I didn’t know what happened here. ”

All the words left her completely. With the Crown Prince of Xi Yue as a witness, it meant that the female ring was indeed from his hands. Even if the others wanted to push the blame onto her, it would be very difficult.

After the Eldest Princess heard this, His expression became even more embarrassed. The three of them said they didn’t know, This case was indeed difficult to investigate. She wanted to beat Yunxiao to death and close the case, but there was a Country of Xiyue Prince not far away who looked at Zhou Jingyan aggressively. “Jing Yan, you grew up as an aunt. Your character and aunt know that you will never disappoint your aunt. How do you think today’s matter should be resolved?”

The room was deathly silent. The Eldest Princess said this because she wanted an explanation.

Time passed by. No one spoke. The room was deathly quiet. However, the outside of the room was not as quiet as it was in this room. The Eldest Princess’s expression changed slightly when she heard the noise and footsteps coming from outside.

He looked at Zhou Jingyan angrily. However, Zhou Jingyan suddenly raised his head and said firmly, “Auntie, I didn’t do anything to my cousin.” The two of them were clean. Anyone with good eyesight could tell that nothing had happened to them. Even so, county princess Hui Ning’s reputation had been ruined because of Zhou Jingyan. If you want to marry someone else again, you absolutely can’t.

If Zhou Jingchen hadn’t discovered it earlier today, the royal family would probably have lost all face.

After the Eldest Princess heard this, her expression became extremely ugly, because she sensed that Zhou Jingyan did not want to be responsible for Hui Ning!

County princess Hui Ning gritted her teeth and looked at Zhou Jingyan with an embarrassed expression. She didn’t expect that Zhou Jingyan would reject her to such an extent, which made her feel even more embarrassed.

Her body trembled from anger, and she rolled her eyes and fainted. Fortunately, the two maids caught him, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.

The Eldest Princess’s expression became even more embarrassed. She immediately shouted, “What are you guys still waiting for? Why don’t you hurry up and help the county princess up and go in to change clothes?”

Ban Xia and Qianxia did not have time to complain and immediately entered the house. If they provoked county princess Hui Ning again, how could the two of them have a life?

County princess Huining was helped down to change clothes. The maidservant beside the eldest princess picked up the clothes of county princess Huining and immediately followed.

Zhou Jingchen also felt that this matter was getting more and more difficult. He coughed dryly and said, “Auntie, there are so many people waiting outside. Why don’t you let the Third Emperor’s younger brother change his clothes before coming out? This matter shouldn’t be flaunted.” The last six words were spoken in a low voice, close enough for the Eldest Princess and him to hear.

How could the Eldest Princess not know that this matter could not be known by everyone? Otherwise, how could county princess Hui Ning have a foothold in the capital?

However, now that she seemed to have said something wrong, she could only nod her head when she heard that the noise outside was getting more and more chaotic.

Zhou Jingyan smiled gratefully at Zhou Jingchen. Then, he looked at Yun Xiao and said with a fake smile, “Four Clouds, come and serve me to change my clothes.”

Yun Xiao did not expect Zhou Jingyan’s skin to be so thick. She took advantage of this opportunity to quickly put on her clothes and let herself serve them.

Staring at Zhou Jingyan’s figure, Yun Xiao knew that nothing good would happen later. “Yes, Your Highness the Third Prince,” she picked up her clothes and immediately chased after him.

However, just as she was about to take a step forward, the Eldest Princess angrily shouted, “Whoever dares to spread the news of today, I will make sure that she is worse off than dead.”

Just as she finished speaking, she heard a magnetic voice not far away say, “Is the liveliness over?”

The faces of everyone in the room were embarrassed. Among them, the Eldest Princess was the most embarrassed. He slapped the Eldest Princess in the face, and the Eldest Princess had to endure it.

Zhou Chongyu held the teacup and didn’t know if he was going to continue drinking. His expression became even more stiff, “Crown Prince, why don’t I accompany you out to see the scenery in the palace?” He also wanted to see the liveliness, but he knew that it couldn’t be seen anymore.

The Crown Prince of Xi Yue, Rong Xun, did not change his expression. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, bringing with it a faint arc. He chuckled and said, “I think this place is not bad, it’s more lively.”

As Yun Xiao listened to the voices of the people outside, a faint smile appeared in her eyes. The corners of her mouth rose slightly. After circling a small screen, she forgot to retract her feet for a moment and hit Zhou Jingyan’s back.

Yun Xiao’s face turned pale. Before Yun Xiao could hide, she noticed that a pair of large hands had already grabbed her neck.
