Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 210
Chapter 210 A Big Spendthrift
Everyone’s expressions changed slightly when they saw the back of the Jin Emperor walk out.
Yun Xiao, the Crown Prince of Xi Yue, and the real and fake Rong Jin all closed their heads. Zhou Jingyan’s eyes were filled with worry and joy.
Emperor Jin valued Imperial Concubine Hua this much, which was the most advantageous thing for him.
However, the atmosphere in the dormitory also became gloomy.
Zhou Jingxu suddenly pulled down the blanket and pretended not to understand the gloominess on the Empress’ face. “Mother, I said that Yun Xiao would take care of me personally. She didn’t come here every day to deliver meals.”
The Empress did not expect that the Jin Emperor would leave as soon as he said so. She did not have the slightest bit of face and her expression was very embarrassed. She was all that little bitch Hua Fei!
Looking at the grievances on Zhou Jingxu’s face, he calmed down and said, “Alright, since Xu’er wants Yun Xiao to take care of her, then let her do it.” Since Zhou Jingchen was willing to sacrifice his life for a woman, she was still willing to believe it.
He did not trust Yun Xiao, but Zhou Jingchen’s vision.
Yun Xiao did not expect that the road would turn around. It was just because of a Hua Fei that the Empress was in a state of disorder. She could only salute and thank her. “Thank you for the Empress’ trust. The Empress will definitely live up to the Empress’ trust.”
Yun Xiao’s simple and orchid-like eyes were filled with a trace of doubt. It was only because the previous father-in-law said that county princess Hui Ning had a huge matter to report, but what was the matter?
The Empress instructed him a few more times before leaving.
Zhou Jingyan invited the Crown Prince of Xi Yue out together, leaving only Zhou Jingchen and Zhou Jingxu in the room.
Zhou Jingxu saw that his goal had been achieved and his face was filled with joy, “Wood, come over here.”
However, Yun Xiao did not move at all. She kept thinking about what county princess Hui Ning had said that day.
Zhou Jingchen saw that Yun Xiao was like this and frowned, “Fourth Miss?”
Yun Xiao suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with unconcealable shock!
She remembered.
Yun Xiao turned around and immediately ran out of the hall.
Behind them, Zhou Jingchen and Zhou Jingxu both had black faces.
Seeing Yun Xiao run so fast, Zhou Jingxu’s heart, which he had just put into his stomach, was raised again. He was afraid that something might happen to Yun Xiao, so he hurriedly shouted, “Brother Crown Prince, quickly catch up to the wood and see what happened to her.”
Zhou Jingchen nodded. There must be a reason why Yun Xiao was so abnormal. He hurriedly chased after Yun Xiao, but he met Yun Xiao who had turned around and returned at the entrance of the palace.
He immediately stood still and coughed softly, “Fourth Young Lady ran so fast just now? Why?”
When Yun Xiao heard Zhou Jingchen’s words, she immediately bowed and greeted him, “Greetings to the Crown Prince. His Highness the Crown Prince, take your time.”
Hearing this, Zhou Jingchen’s warm face became even gloomier.
However, since they had already said so, it was no longer good for him to stay. Moreover, he could sense that Yun Xiao had something to say to Zhou Jingxu.
As soon as the Crown Prince Zhou Jingchen left, Yun Xiao walked into the main hall and closed the door. She heard a burst of muffled laughter.
With an embarrassed expression on his face, he walked to the bead curtain of the sheepfat jade and fiercely shook it. “What are you laughing at?”
Zhou Jingxu remembered the conversation he had just heard, and the smile on his face grew even more intense. “Nothing much. I was the one who asked for the Crown Prince’s brother to find you just now.”
Yun Xiao was embarrassed. In the end, she thought that Zhou Jingchen was going to leave just by walking out. She even said something about walking slowly. At this moment, Yun Xiao really wanted to beat up the person who was laughing so hard that he was out of breath.
However, she still had more important things to do. She quickly walked to the bed and covered Zhou Jingxu’s smiling face. “Stop laughing. I want to talk to you about business.”
Zhou Jingxu could not conceal his determination in Yunxiao’s eyes. He knew that the matter was serious, so he stopped laughing and said, “What is it?”
“How much is it today?” Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes, her body trembling slightly.
‘”The seventh day of the twelfth month,” Zhou Jingxu didn’t understand. Yun Xiao asked what was going on?
“Do you still remember what happened on the 11th of December in your previous life?”
Zhou Jingxu pondered for a moment before his body trembled slightly, “December 11th, hail!”
Yun Xiao nodded her head with extreme caution. In her previous life, on December 11th, there was a hail. It was said that it rained less in winter, and hail was even more impossible. But in her previous life, on December 11th, there was really a hail. That hail killed and injured countless people. Many of the houses of the people in the capital had collapsed countless times. A catastrophe had made this year worse.
Zhou Jingxu was really anxious, “Then what should we do now? Let’s quickly tell Father Emperor.”
As he spoke, he wanted to get out of bed. Since it was possible to avoid the calamity of his previous life, that was the best thing to do.
Yun Xiao shook her head. “No need, County Lord Hui Ning is looking for Emperor to talk about a big matter now. I’m afraid it’s also because of the hail. Since His Majesty will know about it, he only hopes to shut down this disaster.” Since County Lord Hui Ning said to others that he has the ability to predict the future, he should give her a chance this time.
Yun Xiao did not want to be the person who stood out, so after she ran out of the palace, she even turned around and ran back.
Regardless of who the Jin Emperor knew from, it was a good thing for the people.
“Are you saying that county princess Hui Ning is the same as us?” Zhou Jingxu was slightly surprised by this. He had always thought that his rebirth was an odd number. Who would have thought that he would encounter two people who were the same as him?
Yun Xiao nodded. After thinking about the hostility the county princess of Hui Ning had towards her, she did not tell Zhou Jingxu. She chuckled and said, “Since someone told His Majesty, should we do something for the people as well?”
Zhou Jingxu’s ink-jade-like eyes glittered, “Wood, hurry up and say it.”
Yun Xiao immediately told Zhou Jingxu her plan in his ear. Zhou Jingxu nodded repeatedly and was about to get out of bed when Yun Xiao pressed down on the bed. “The injury on your arm was not treated properly before, but it needs to be treated again now.”
Zhou Jingxu also knew that things weren’t urgent at this moment, so he lay on the bed and allowed Yun Xiao to pull up the robe on his left arm. Seeing a bloody arm on his arm, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
He hadn’t noticed his injuries before, but now, he looked terrifying.
After Yun Xiao changed the medicine on the wound again, it was already less than half an hour later. Zhou Jingxu immediately called Eunuch Cai to the Imperial Study to inquire if the Jin Emperor had returned to the Imperial Study and heard county princess Hui Ning finish his story.
As soon as Eunuch Cai left, Zhou Jingxu took out all his savings. “How much do you have here? If it’s not enough, I’ll think of another way.”
Yun Xiao opened the exquisite box made of red sandalwood in front of her and saw a hundred thousand taels of silver. She lightly clicked it. She did not expect that Zhou Jingxu actually had more than six hundred thousand dollars in savings. This amount made Yun Xiao unable to recover from her shock. “Where did you get so many silver notes?”
Zhou Jingxu blinked his eyes mysteriously. “Of course, it was given to me by the elders. Of course, most of the rewards are jade and silk. I didn’t need them anyway, so I took out some silver notes. Quickly take a look. Is this enough? If not, you can take whatever you want from my dormitory.”
These extremely generous words made Yun Xiao frown. He really dared to say it! “Don’t you know that everything in the royal family has signs? How dare those people accept your things?”
Zhou Jingxu looked at Yun Xiao with a stupid expression on his face. “How big is a symbol? At most, I’ll find someone to dig out all of those symbols. Of course, I can also revive those things and rebuild them.”
After he finished speaking, he stood up and said, He casually picked up a piece of jade from the Treasure Pavilion. He weighed it in his hand and placed it in front of Yun Xiao. “Take this jade for example. Look at this symbol. However, the jade on it is intact. You only need to use the jade on it to create two new jade hairpins. There is no royal symbol on the jade hairpins. In this way, won’t I be able to sell them?”
Yun Xiao’s face was ashen. In the end, it could already be described as black. This jade was worth at least three to four thousand taels of silver. With Zhou Jingxu’s action, one to two thousand taels of silver were wasted.
She really wanted to grab Zhou Jingxu’s ear and call him the black sheep!
Zhou Jingxu naturally saw through Yun Xiao’s thoughts at a glance. He snorted coldly and then said, “If I don’t use this method, how can I sell it?”
Yun Xiao felt that his thinking was really different from others’. Everyone else had thought of a way to save some treasures, but he had lost the treasures and sold them for money.
Just looking at it made one’s heart ache! He was so righteous.
However, what he said was correct. If he didn’t use this method, he really wouldn’t be able to sell it. “If the Emperor and Empress look for you to see the treasure, what would you say?”
Zhou Jingxu waved his hand and said, “Just say that someone stole it. Anyway, this is not the first time. Thieves like to steal from my house the most.”
Yun Xiao really couldn’t hold back and laughed directly. She finally understood why only Zhou Jingxu’s house was the worst thief in her previous life. She always heard that the treasures in Zhou Jingxu’s house had been stolen. So that’s what happened.
Zhou Jingxu was a little embarrassed by Yun Xiao’s smile and coughed softly, “Don’t laugh, what’s so funny about it?”
Yun Xiao’s face was serious, but the corner of her mouth was still twitching, looking very strange.
Zhou Jingxu suddenly grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand and stared into her eyes. He said very seriously, “You didn’t kill me in the last life. I know, so I don’t blame you.” When he heard Yun Xiao’s words, he felt his heart was very sharp, which was why he left.
After leaving, he had already figured out the cause and effect.
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. Right at this moment, a burst of footsteps came from outside. Zhou Jingxu immediately put down Yun Xiao’s hands.
Yun Xiao’s cheeks also turned slightly red.
Eunuch Cai came in and felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. However, he didn’t think too much about it. After all, Zhou Jingxu and Yun Xiao were a little different in age.
After saluting respectfully, Eunuch Cai said, “Your Highness, county princess Hui Ning has indeed walked out of the Imperial Study as His Highness said.”
