Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 236

Chapter 236 Willow Blossom
Sitting in the main hall with her family, Yun Xiao talked about what had happened in the Imperial Palace these past few days. Finally, the hearts of her family fell back to where they were.

Brother Han hugged Yun Xiao’s leg and said worriedly, “Fourth sister, isn’t the imperial palace fun? Can you bring me with you next time?”

Yun Xiao touched Brother Han’s hair, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings. The palace was not a fun place, and there was a trace of worry in her eyes. “Next time, Fourth Sister will take you to a more fun place. It’s even more fun than the palace.”

The last sentence successfully attracted Brother Han’s attention. Brother Han hurriedly said, “This year’s New Year and Lantern Festival, Fourth Sister will accompany me out of the mansion to play.”

Lantern Festival? Yun Xiao’s heart suddenly twitched. Soon after, on this Lantern Festival in the coming year, Brother Han was abducted by a human trafficker. After Madam Lu found out, she cried all day long. Her body weakened, and her eyes were finally hurt from crying.

“No, no!”

Yun Xiaoyi’s refusal caused the atmosphere in the room to condense once again.

Right at this moment, Chun Lan and the butler brought the doctor in. Madam Lu hurriedly said, “Xiao Xiao, quickly let the doctor take a look at your pulse.”

Yun Xiao nodded. If Brother Han wanted to go out to play so much, she had to think of a way to prevent Brother Han from going out during the Lantern Festival. However, what should she do?

Yun Xiao looked sideways and saw that Brother Han’s eyes were as bright as stars. They slowly darkened. Her heart ached. She hurriedly stretched out her other hand and grabbed Brother Han’s arm. She smiled at Brother Han.

Brother Han’s dark eyes immediately lit up. Fourth sister usually loved him the most. This was the first time she had refused her request, but he still trusted Fourth sister.

After Brother Han smiled at Yun Xiao, he looked at the doctor, deeply afraid that the doctor would say something bad about Fourth Sister’s health.

The doctor withdrew his hand from Yun Xiao’s wrist and said with a smile, “Fourth Young Lady’s body is fine. It’s just an internal deficiency. I’m afraid it’s due to tiredness. It’ll be fine if you rest properly these few days.”

Only then did the Yun Family let out a sigh of relief.

However, Madam Lu was still worried. She picked up Yun Xiao’s other hand and hurriedly said, “Doctor, look at the bag in Xiao Xiao’s hand. What’s going on?”

The doctor saw the bulging bag on Yun Xiao’s wrist. She even used gauze to wrap it. She frowned and asked Yun Xiao to unwrap the gauze. After examining it for a while, she could not see what was going on with her wrist. She could only shake her head and say, “This wound has already been treated. It’s fine, but I can’t see how this bag was caused. However, since Fourth Young Lady is fine, this bag will definitely be fine for Fourth Young Lady.”

Although the people from the Yun Clan were still worried, they could only let the doctor leave.

Yun Xiao hurriedly said, “Look, I already said that I’m really fine. Young Master Rong helped me deal with this wound. He also put something in this bag, but it’s not harmful to my body.”

Rong Jin had helped save Yun Yao’s child and Sun shi before, so in the hearts of the Yun family, Rong Jin was skilled in medicine. Since he said that he was fine, he was really fine.

Seeing that his parents were still worried, Yun Xiao said, “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. I’m so hungry, let’s eat quickly.”

Mrs. Lu then remembered to eat and hurriedly asked the maidservant to serve the dishes.

After dinner, Yun Xiao brought Brother Han back to her own Rose Courtyard and took out the clothes she had made for Brother Han in the palace. “Quickly put them on and try them on. Did they fit? I made them for you personally.”

Brother Han’s ink-jade-like eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly picked up his robe and touched it affectionately. “Naturally, what Fourth Sister made is the best.”

Yun Xiao touched Brother Han’s head and said, “Alright, are you still angry about what happened just now? Fourth sister promised you that she would take you to play with her during the New Year. However, if you don’t have time to go out during the Lantern Festival, then you won’t blame Fourth sister.”

She had already thought about it. When the Lantern Festival comes, she must find something for Brother Han to do. She can’t let him go out.

Brother Han immediately laughed, “Since Fourth Sister has promised me, you can’t go back on your word.” After he finished speaking, he carried his clothes into the inner room and changed. When he walked out again, he wore the clothes that Yun Xiao had just made on him. “Fourth sister, this dress is really beautiful. If I wear it like this, Second Brother will definitely be jealous of me.”

Yun Xiao chuckled a few times and gave a few more items to Brother Han. Only then did Chun Lan send Brother Han away.

Not long after Brother Han left, Yun Lan came to the Rose Courtyard.

Yun Xiao closed the door and personally poured tea for Yun Lan. Then, she said, “Second brother, what’s wrong? With a worried expression on her face?”

“I’m leaving tomorrow, and I’m a little reluctant.” This was his first time away, and he couldn’t bear to part with it.

Yun Xiao sighed. “I also don’t want Second Brother to leave at this time. However, the court is becoming more and more chaotic. If Second Brother doesn’t go out to earn a path for us, I’m afraid our Yun Clan won’t have a place to stay.”

“Little sister, tell me more about the powers in the court.” He had never paid attention to these things before. Now that he had taken responsibility, he began to come into contact with these things. However, these things were not something that could be analyzed thoroughly in a day or two.

Yun Xiao did not refuse and told her everything she knew. She had been saying it for an hour, but she had not finished yet.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s tired expression, Yun Lan hurriedly said, “Fourth sister, you should rest first today. I’ll think about the rest myself.” Fourth sister entered the palace and suffered a lot. When she returned home, she did not rest.

After Yun Xiao sent Yun Lan out, although her body was tired, she did not want to fall asleep at all.

Tomorrow, Second Brother, Rong Jin and the others will leave the capital. With Second Brother’s help, they will definitely be able to find a good future for themselves. With Rong Jin’s care, Yunxiao is not worried.

However, there were some things that had to be done well. Chun Lan came in and gave her something to wash up. “Miss, it’s late at night. You should rest first.”

Yun Xiao shook her head, “You go to sleep first. I have something to do.” There were some things that she had to explain to Yun Lan.

Chun Lan did not want to sleep, so Yun Xiao asked her to grind ink for herself. She took out a brush and began to write. After writing for two hours, she put down the brush in her hand and bound a lot of paper into a book.

There was nothing else in this book. It was the art of war that Yun Xiao had seen in Zhou Jingyan’s study in her previous life. She remembered it very well. She could only read it once and memorize it from beginning to end.

Moreover, judging from the situation in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Country of Xiyue, the two countries must fight in the future. No matter who wins or loses, Yun Xiao only wanted the safety of her family. Moreover, with this military technique, Second Brother would definitely be able to protect his own safety.

Of course, this wasn’t just a record of the art of war. In the end, Yun Xiao also recorded everything she knew about Country of Xiyue from Zhou Jingyan. In this way, even if Second Brother arrived in Country of Xiyue, he wouldn’t know anything.

After cutting off the last thread, Yun Xiao hugged her as if she had obtained a precious treasure. This was a gift she had given to her second brother before he left.

She put the book in the box and carefully packed it. She rubbed her eyes, which were almost unable to open, and looked at Chun Lan, who was similarly depressed. She hurriedly said, “Chun Lan, quickly go rest. It’s very late today.”

Chun Lan did not agree. After serving Yun Xiao to freshen up, she saw her lying on the bed and sleeping in her ears. Because she was too tired, she fell asleep the moment she touched the bed.

Yun Xiao lay on the bed, her thoughts flying. Although she was very tired, she still did not want to sleep. At this moment, she suddenly heard a strange voice. She hurriedly sat up, picked up her outer robe and put it on. She carefully said, “Who? Come out!”

“I didn’t expect you to be smart.” After a sneer, the man wearing a black brocade robe walked in generously. By the light from the open window, Yun Xiao could clearly see the ebony ghost mask on the visitor’s face.

Even though his face was cold, “I didn’t know that His Highness Country of Xiyue of Prince actually had the habit of entering a woman’s bedroom late at night?”

Rong Xun laughed twice and found a chair to sit on. “I learned this from my big brother.”

Yun Xiao snorted coldly. She also remembered that this was not the first time Rong Jin had entered her room. There were even a few times that he had come late at night. She sighed and said, “What are you doing here?” As she spoke, she looked at the ebony ghost mask on Rong Xun’s face.

Suddenly, he remembered Zhou Jingxu’s complaint today. Was he wearing this ebony ghost mask all day, trying to be cool? Or was his face hurt?

“Naturally, I’m here to bid farewell to my old friend.” Rong Xun stared at Yun Xiao’s face for a while without any trace of nostalgia. Instead, he clearly saw a trace of inquiry in her eyes that had been staring at him. “Why are you staring at me like this?”

Yun Xiao got up from the bed and walked to Rong Xun’s side. She reached out to touch the ghost mask on Rong Xun’s face, but Rong Xun avoided her. “What? Are you interested in my face?”

Yun Xiao snorted coldly and sat at the side with resentment. “I was wondering if you would wear this mask when you were sleeping at night.” Although it looked cool, it would feel uncomfortable if you were to wear it like this.

Rong Xun was slightly stunned. The first person she dared to speak in front of him was interesting. She immediately laughed and said, “If you like, I’ll give you one later.”

Yun Xiao looked at him in shock, then shook her head, “No need. Although it’s very cool, it’s always inconvenient. Are you playing cool with a mask all day long?”

Cool? Rong Xun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. This woman …

Rong Xun shook his head. A strange look appeared in his amber eyes. He hurriedly placed the medicine in his arms on the table. “Alright, I’m entrusted with this medicine. It’s for you. It can be used for a month.”

After he finished speaking, he stood up and was about to leave.

However, Yun Xiao stood in front of him and said, “Only a month’s worth of medicine? What about a month later?” Once Rong Jin left, he would never come back. After using up all the medicine in a month, could it be that he wanted her to go all the way to Country of Xiyue to find the medicine?

Thinking of this, Yun Xiao’s eyes darkened. He would rather have Rong Xun deliver the medicine than come. He blurted out, “Where is he? Why isn’t he coming?”

Rong Xun turned around and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes. “Tomorrow when you go to the street, you will naturally see him. The medicine has already been delivered. I will leave first. As for how about I give you a few words in a month’s time, the willow blossoms brighten another village.”

After he finished speaking, he dodged and left.

By the time Yun Xiao reacted, Rong Xun’s figure had already disappeared from the room.

“What do you mean, a willow blossom blossoms yet another village?”
