Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 23

Chapter 023 Initial Contest
The sound of the door curtain rang out. Yun Xiao raised her head from the invitation letter and saw the maidservant Chun Lan walk in. She saluted and whispered, “Miss, Second Miss Lan is here.”

Yun Xiao was stunned. Second Miss Lan, Lan Shuya!

She couldn’t even forget what Lan Shuya had done to her!

“Such a white bone is truly frightening.”

“Cousin, you said that everyone is dead. What can you do with a pair of white bones? Why don’t you accompany Uncle and the others?”

“The Emperor said that you should strangle this bastard with your own hands.”

Cousin, cousin …

This voice rang in her ears like a devil’s stare. Yun Xiao only felt that she was still holding her father’s white bone in her hand, but Lan Shuya fiercely stomped on her uncle’s white bone on the ground.

Lan Shuya, how could you have such a vicious heart!

A strong hatred burst out from Yun Xiao’s eyes. Yun Xiao held her hand tightly, as if this was the only way to calm herself down.

This was the first time Chun Lan saw Yun Xiao’s eyes shining with this kind of light. Her heart was filled with awe. When she looked again, she saw the four girls smiling at her. “What are you waiting for? Quickly invite your cousin in.”

Since you have come to see me, I will properly meet you. In this life, who will win and who will lose has yet to be known!

Yun Xiao only had Lan Shuya, her biological cousin, and she was a concubine. Naturally, she couldn’t help but cherish her. Every time Lan Shuya suffered in the Lan Clan, her favorite thing was to come and complain. She helped her plan to teach the Lan Clan’s direct descendants a lesson, and then Lan Shuya brought a bunch of good things back with her.

The daughter-in-law of the largest imperial merchant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was not lacking in silver.

Lan Shuya, you lent me the throne, but in the end, you ruthlessly trampled me on the soles of your feet. You used the silver I gave you for all your expenses, dressed the most dazzling side in front of others, but in the end, someone gave me a bowl of poison.

A woman walked in with the sound of the door curtains. Lan Shuya combed the cigarette lotus bun, with a silver-plated orb-dotted emerald hairpin on her head. She was dressed in an ivory-white outer garment. The edge of the outer garment was embroidered with dark patterns of magnolia flowers with a few silver threads, and a water-red purse hung on her waist.

Lan Shuya was the same age as him. Her figure was slim and graceful, her eyebrows were picturesque. Her lips were bright and her teeth were bright. Her pair of eyes were moist with water as if she could speak. Moreover, her face was a little pale. Seeing her, she had a feeling of pity. She was truly devastating and harmless.

However, it was precisely this woman who had exterminated the members of the Lan Clan after the harem gained power. She only wanted to cover up the fact that she was a concubine. At that time, someone had told her about this matter. She asked Lan Shuya about the situation. She cried in front of her for a long time. She only felt that her cousin was wronged, so she helped to cover up this matter.

It was this harmless woman who personally pushed the 200 plus members of the Yun Clan to the brink of death, watching her die with her own eyes.

Harmless? What a joke!

Yun Xiao looked at the woman, her hands tightly clenched together. Only in this way could she calm herself down, “Cousin is here. Quickly sit down.”

The maids immediately served tea and snacks. Yun Xiao saw it with a cold gaze and only curled her lips into a smile. “Why is your cousin here today? Did your eldest sister bully you again?”

These words were the opening words of his previous life when he saw Lan Shuya. However, when he spoke today, Yun Xiaopo had a hatred of gnashing his teeth.

Lan Shuya lowered her eyebrows and gently shook her head. “No, Big Sister and the others didn’t bully me,” she said, but her expression was different.

Yun Xiao curled her lips. If it was her previous life, she would definitely say, “You are kind-hearted. If you are bullied, don’t say it. Hurry up and say it. I will make the decision for you.”

However, now, Yun Xiao seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief. She happily said, “It’s good that there’s no such thing. It’s good that there’s no such thing.”

Lan Shuya’s lowered eyebrows frowned invisibly. There was something wrong with today’s conversation. She should have continued asking. Yun Xiao’s words made it impossible for her to continue. Otherwise, she would have told her elder sister about her assassination and asked for a bunch of things here.

County princess Hui Ning sent an invitation letter to the Lan Manor to invite their sisters. She was very flattered. This was a great opportunity for her to stand out!

This kind of banquet naturally required many noble young masters from famous families. He was already thirteen years old, so he had to plan for his future.

However, she still lacked an amazing dress for such a banquet. Madam Lan would definitely not buy it for her, so only Yun Xiao, who was a wrongdoer, could help her.

However, all of his thoughts turned into bubbles in these four words.

Lan Shuya was unreconciled. She turned her eyes and smiled softly, “Yes, with my cousin supporting me, I’m naturally fine. I came today because I have some good news to tell my cousin.”

Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She smiled and said, “What a coincidence. I also have some good news to tell my cousin. I received an invitation from County Lord Hui Ning today. Don’t you think it’s strange? This is the first time County Lord Hui Ning has invited people from Yun Clan. I just happened to buy some clothes.”

The Yun Clan was just a merchant. Although there was a lot of money, the banquets of the nobles from the noble clans would not invite people like the Yun Clan. This time, it was an exception. This was the strange thing about Yun Xiao.

After saying this, Yun Xiao smiled and looked at Lan Shuya, “What good news does cousin want to say? Could it be that county princess Hui Ning invited cousin too?”

Hearing these words, Lan Shuya wanted to shatter Yunxiao. Although Yunxiao was a direct descendant, she was still a merchant. Although she was a concubine, she was still a noble woman. Even if she did not invite Yunxiao, she would still invite her.

He raised his head and chuckled, “I was really right about what my cousin said, so I came to ask if my cousin was invited as well.”

Yun Xiao only felt that Lan Shuya’s face made her feel disgusted, but she still patiently said, “It’s actually such a coincidence. This is the first time I’ve attended such a banquet. My cousin often attends, so I have to help me choose what clothes to wear.”

Lan Shuya felt as if something was blocking her heart. She was bored. Although Yun Xiao was still very good to her, she felt that something was wrong. “Alright, I’ll find my cousin to buy clothes another day.”

As long as he went to buy clothes, he would say that he had taken a fancy to one. At that time, he was not afraid that Yun Xiao would not pay.

After Yun Xiao sent Lan Shuya away, the depths of her eyes were filled with a deep ruthlessness.

Lan Shuya, you wouldn’t know that I was abandoned and kidnapped. I didn’t even say a word of greeting when I came over. I just wanted me to pay for your clothes. I really thought that I was still the same Yun Xiao who was deceived by you.

Eat mine, use mine, and I’ll make you spit it out one by one.

Didn’t you want to amaze the four of them? I’ll let you do what you want.

Another sound of curtains rang out. Chun Lan walked in again. After saluting, she said, “Young lady, the girl in the side room is awake.”

The corners of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled up. It was a good time for Chun Lin to wake up. “Come, let’s go take a look.”

Chun Lan was stunned. Although she felt that the girl was very attentive to that girl, she still didn’t ask, “The girl’s feet aren’t well yet. I’ll carry her on my back.”

Yun Xiao directly walked out, her ankle aching, but she completely ignored it. She could not show weakness in front of Chun Lin. This was the first time in her life that she had competed with her.

After arriving at the side room, what caught Yun Xiao’s eyes was a pale face. Chun Lin struggled to get out of bed and was about to salute. He was blocked by Yun Xiao and said with pity, “If it weren’t for you standing up, I’m afraid the one lying on the bed right now would be me. There’s no need for so many false greetings.”

Chun Lin responded weakly, his bright eyes filled with fear.

Yun Xiao’s gaze slowly descended and landed on her hands. In her previous life, it was the medicine in her hands that caused her to lose her life. “What’s your name?”

Chun Lin’s body shrank. He struggled to get out of bed. He said in horror, “When this servant’s parents weren’t dead, they called this servant. After their parents passed away, this servant was in a laundry room doing the laundry. This servant had to go back to work. Otherwise, my mother would beat this servant to death.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth carried a faint smile, but this smile carried a trace of coldness. “Don’t worry, since you saved me, our Yun Clan will definitely not treat you unfairly. Tomorrow, Daddy will reward you. However, Daya’s name doesn’t sound good. Why don’t we change it to another name?”

Chun Lan was stunned. Her face was filled with gratitude. “Thank you, Miss. I beg you to give me a name.”

Yun Xiao pretended to think for a moment before she said, “Then let’s call it Chun Lin.” In her previous life, she had chosen this name, and in this life, she even gave it to you.

Chun Lin was naturally grateful. When Yun Xiao and the maidservant’s figures disappeared from the room, the corner of his mouth hooked into a faint mockery.

Yun Xiao returned to her room. It was already late. The maids had already prepared dinner. After dinner, Yun Xiao chased everyone down.

She touched a paper bag with her right hand and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Yun Yao would never have thought that she would fall on a hairpin. She placed the hairpin in the powder for a long time and soaked it in water for another two hours. She was nurtured along the way and worked together with Rong Jin to make a scene. She countered Yun Yao strategically.

Yun Xiao suddenly felt a line of sight fall on her body. She frowned slightly, put down the paper bag, and walked to the window to look out, but she did not see anything.

He frowned. Could it be that he had sensed something wrong? Or was it his own illusion?

Yun Xiao turned around and walked to the table to destroy all the evidence. Then, she washed up and lay on the bed. She looked at her swollen ankle and gently rubbed it for a moment. Yun Xiao sighed.

Tomorrow, Yun Yang and his second brother will be back. He still has a tough battle to fight, so he must properly nurture his spirit!

However, lying on the bed, Yun Xiao couldn’t fall asleep. Today, she saw so many enemies from her previous life, and her mind was filled with images of the tragic deaths of more than 200 members of the Yun Clan from her previous life.

Zhou Jingyan, Lan Shuya, and Chun Lin, I will definitely take revenge and make you regret it!

Yun Xiao gasped heavily, as if this was the only way to prove that she was still alive.

With her hand on her forehead, Yun Xiao only felt a faint fragrance coming from her nose, so she did not know that she had fallen asleep.
