Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 22

Chapter 022 County Lord Huining
What? Pregnancy?

Everyone was shocked by the news and looked at Yun Yao who was sitting on the left chair in disbelief.

Yun Xiao quietly lowered her head and hooked the corners of her lips. Sure enough, she was not wrong.

Yun Maozhe furrowed his brows, and a harsh expression appeared on his face. “Doctor He’s diagnosis is wrong?”

Doctor He knew what he was saying. Yun Maozhe must be angry. After all, the Yun family’s third young lady, Yun Ying, had yet to get married and was pregnant before she got married. The Yun family would lose face and salute him with cupped hands. “Perhaps this old man’s diagnosis is wrong.”

Although the doctor said that, no one in Yun Clan breathed a sigh of relief. Doctor He’s medical skills were excellent, and he wouldn’t make a wrong diagnosis with a single pulse of joy.

Yun Maozhe looked at the servant beside him. The servant brought Doctor He out and stuffed him with a bag of silver. “There are some words that I hope Doctor He can consider and say.”

Doctor He didn’t want to register, but he also knew that this money was a sealing fee. If he didn’t accept it, Master Yun wouldn’t trust him.

In the main hall, Master Yun’s black eyes were filled with a trace of sharpness, and his body was filled with dense anger. “Bastard, the good deeds you’ve done actually dared Zhu Tai to secretly kneel down.”

Yun Yao’s face was pale and she forced herself to pretend to be calm. She knelt down and shot her gaze at Yun Xiao like a sharp sword.

If it wasn’t for Yun Xiao, nothing like this would have happened today.

A strange look flashed through Madam Sun’s eyes. She did not expect Yun Yao to be pregnant. Not only that, but it was obvious who this child was. With this child, Yun Yao would be able to stand on her feet in the Shen Clan.

The Shen Clan was considered a noble clan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. If Yun Yao married, she would definitely be rich and noble for the rest of her life. “Husband, please calm down. Let Yao Yao get up first. After all, that child is also the flesh and blood of the Shen Clan.”

Yun Maozhe looked coldly at Madam Sun, his eyes filled with anger. “So you actually knew about this. This is the good daughter you taught.”

After he finished speaking, he immediately instructed the servant beside him, “Drag the third young lady down and lock her up first. This child cannot be taken.”

‘”Master, you’re taking Yao Yao’s life. Master, please, leave this child behind. As long as the eldest son of the Shen Clan marries Yao Yao, Yao Yao is also your daughter.”

Yun Maozhe’s face turned green and pale. He was very unsightly. Hearing Madam Sun’s words, he felt dizzy. He took a few deep breaths. Before he could breathe, he fainted.

Mrs. Yuan’s expression was bright, “Call a doctor.”

Yun Xiao sighed. Because Yun Maozhe was no longer in this farce in his previous life, the Yuan Clan and the Sun Clan concealed this matter and arranged a marriage with the Shen Clan.

By the time Daddy returned, things were settled and there was no room for regret.

The matter of the eldest young master of the Shen Clan abandoning the fourth young miss of the Yun Clan and marrying the third young miss has been circulating in the capital for a long time. If it wasn’t for that person, he wouldn’t have been able to marry out for the rest of his life.

In this life, with her father around, Yun Yao’s marriage would not go so smoothly.

However, Yun Xiao did not mind helping Yun Yao make this matter more perfect.

Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed and she immediately walked forward. Someone had already grabbed onto Yun Maozhe’s people. Yun Maozhe slowly woke up and swept his gaze over everyone before finally landing on Yun Yao.

“You … you bastard!” He pointed at Yun Yao with a trembling finger.

Yun Xiao pushed Madam Lu away a little and quietly walked forward. She turned left and blocked Yun Yao. “Daddy, don’t be angry. The main thing now is to nurture Daddy. Daddy is the pillar of our Yun Clan family. Daddy must not have any accidents.”

Madam Lu also followed suit and Madam Yuan also tried to persuade her. Madam Sun wanted to speak, but Madam Yuan blocked her.

Yun Maozhe finally gasped for breath. He slowly sat up straight. Just as he was about to speak, Yun Xiao’s pair of obsidian-like crystal eyes looked at Yun Maozhe pitifully with a moist light. “Daddy, third sister’s reputation has been taken advantage of. Now that Daddy is in charge of the overall situation, Daddy must be fine.”

Yun Xiao believed that at this time, Yun Maozhe would slowly think things through. This matter should not be made big. The Yun Clan was originally the largest imperial merchant, and countless people spurned the Yun Clan while focusing all their attention on the Yun Clan.

Not only that, Yun Yao was not the only daughter of the Yun Family. There were also people from Second Fang. If it was because of Yun Yao, Second Fang’s reputation as a girl would be ruined. It would only cause discord in the family.

Everyone in the room was stunned. No one expected that Yun Xiao would come to plead for Yun Yao’s mercy at this time.

Yun Yao only felt that her face was a little hot. She snorted coldly, and her eyebrows were filled with disdain. She muttered, “I don’t want your cat crying for mice.”

This voice was neither loud nor small, just so that everyone could hear it.

Yun Maozhe had originally calmed down once more, but when he heard this, his eyes turned red again. “Is your sister interceding for you? Is it still in your way?”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth rose slightly, A hint of mockery appeared in the depths of his eyes. His face was filled with sincerity. She pretended not to hear Yun Yao’s words, “Father, I think what Second Mother said makes sense, “As long as Young Master Shen marries Third Sister, it’s over. Third Sister will be able to get married in a month. It’s time to talk about marriage. If Young Master Shen likes Third Sister, Third Sister will definitely be rich for the rest of her life. Daddy wants us sisters to marry a good family. Big Brother and Second Brother will marry us a good sister-in-law.”

If these words were spoken from Madam Sun’s mouth, Yun Maozhe would definitely be angry. After all, her daughter, Yun Ying, was pregnant before she married, so it would be a disgraceful thing to say.

However, these words came from Yun Xiao’s mouth. Yun Xiao did not deal with Madam Sun. These words caused Yun Maozhe to ponder slightly. He did not expect his fourth daughter to be able to see through everything. It was a clever idea. However, “Then Shen Yingfan was originally your fiance. If you married your third sister, your reputation would be ruined in the future. How could you marry someone else?”

When Yun Xiao heard this, she felt warm in her heart. “Thank you, Daddy. Daddy still has a year before she gets married. At that time, others had already forgotten about this matter. They were also chewing on her behind her back. Besides, if that person marries her only because of her reputation and not because she likes her daughter, even if she marries her daughter, she will not have a good life.”

After saying those words, Yun Xiao’s eyes saw the changes in everyone’s expressions. With a change of tone, she chuckled and said, “Right now, Third Sister’s marriage is the most important thing. Daddy needs to test Young Master Shen’s words first. Big Brother and Second Brother are not in the manor today. The only ones we can rely on are Daddy.”

Brother Han tried to stop Yun Xiao from speaking a few times, but in the end, he failed. The little guy was so angry that he snorted coldly and turned his head away.

When Yun Xiao saw that she had finished speaking, Yun Maozhe’s expression returned to normal. Only then did he walk to the side and pick up the awkward little person.

Madam Lu brought some tea to Yun Maozhe. After Yun Maozhe drank it gently, his expression became much better and he instructed people to call Shen Yingfan back.

Yun Maozhe glanced at Yun Yao, his eyes undisguised. “Someone, bring the third young miss back first and lock her up in the ancestral hall for a month.”

When this voice fell, Yun Yao naturally did not listen. Madam Sun hurriedly winked at her. Yun Maozhe was still angry, so she naturally had to listen to him. Moreover, this was only the Ancestral Hall. As long as she was pregnant with Shen Yingfan’s child, she would be able to marry into the Shen Clan at that time and stand on her feet.

Yun Yao changed her mind and thought about this matter clearly. Now, as long as Shen Yingfan was willing to marry her, what did it matter if she went to the ancestral hall for a month?

After Yun Yao walked out of the main hall, she handed a handkerchief to her personal maidservant. Then, she whispered to the person sent to escort her, “I’ll let the maidservant go to the courtyard and get my clothes back, alright?”

The servant was only instructed to send Yun Yao to the ancestral hall. He did not say that he could not take clothes, so he agreed.

Although Yun Xiao was reborn, she was only thirteen years old in this life. When adults talked about things, she naturally could not continue listening.

When he said goodbye to Yun Maozhe and the others, he just happened to come out and see this scene. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly and he smiled as he walked up. “I’ll accompany Third Sister to the ancestral hall. I can also take care of Third Sister.”

Yun Yao snorted coldly and threw away Yun Xiao’s hand. “Yun Xiao, I don’t want you to be pretentious and merciful here. My punishment is your doing. Even if you speak up for me, I won’t thank you. You speak up for me just because you don’t want your reputation to get worse. Young Master Shen will definitely marry me. Just wait and be ridiculed.”

Yun Xiao’s expression was indifferent. She took a step back and the corner of her mouth slightly rose. “Is that so?” She lowered her eyes and blinked her fan-like eyelashes gently, as if she was truly frightened. “Since Third Sister doesn’t want me to send her away, I won’t force her. Third Sister, please be slow on the way. Children are very fragile.”

After saying that, she directly turned around and left with Chun Lan. However, the moment she turned around, the corner of her mouth hooked into a cold smile.

Yun Yao looked sideways at her leaving figure. Her mind was unstable. Her footsteps stiffened and she almost fell down. Fortunately, she managed to stabilize herself by supporting the tree beside her in time and kicked away the stones beneath her feet hatefully. “Yunxiao, it’s all you! I must make you regret it!”

As Yun Xiao was walking, she suddenly sneezed. Chun Lan immediately said worriedly, “Young lady, did you catch a cold today?”

Yun Xiao shook her head. The smile in her eyes deepened. Since she could change the fate of others, she would definitely be able to change her own fate.

Yun Yao, haven’t you always dreamed of marrying into the Shen Clan? Now I will lift you up high and fall down fiercely.

Yun Xiao walked briskly back to her courtyard. However, just as she entered the courtyard, the maidservant handed her a letter. “Young lady, this is an invitation letter sent by county princess Hui Ning.”

Yun Xiao looked at the signature on the letter, county princess Hui Ning? Why would she give herself an invitation?

There was absolutely no such thing in her previous life. She didn’t even know the county princess of Huining, let alone the noble status of the county princess of Huining. She was just the daughter of a merchant. How could she let such a person give her an invitation letter?
