Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 24

Chapter 024 Elder and Younger in Order
Just as the time passed, Yun Xiao woke up. Opening her eyes, Yun Xiao’s gaze landed on the green-white curtain.

Last night, she was clearly dreaming of her previous life’s tragic death. Her heart was terrified and she could not sleep peacefully, but she slept well this night.

She stretched out her finger and landed on her nose, as if she could still feel the faint fragrance. What exactly happened last night?

She sat up and wanted to get out of bed, but Yun Xiao’s body suddenly froze.

Last night, when he was sleeping, he still felt red, swollen, and painful. However, after just one night, the red, swollen, and painful sensations had subsided by quite a bit. As long as he didn’t exert any strength, he would be no different from an ordinary person.

Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with a wisp of light. She remembered that she had noticed someone looking at her. She was certain that someone must have come in last night.

But who was that person? Why did he treat his foot? Why didn’t he let himself know who he was?

Before he was reborn and now, it seemed that he had never been involved with anyone in his life. Who would do this?

In this life, it was as if he had entered a mystery since he was reborn, and the things around him changed bit by bit as he was reborn.

Yun Xiao tightly covered her heart. Could it be him?

Chun Lan and the other maids came in to serve Yu Xi. Yun Xiao chose for a long time before she found a lotus-green soft smoke dress at the bottom of the box. Her hair was tied up in a simple bun. She only used a jade hairpin to fix all the hair strands. She had a plain white face but no powder applied. She was elegant and had a wisp of agility. The maids around couldn’t help but stare straight at her. “The girl is so beautiful.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth hooked up. In her previous life, she liked to wear gorgeous clothes and dressed herself beautifully. Later on, when she was in the harem, she lost Zhou Jingyan’s favor. The people in the harem were also running over them, and the clothes she gave them were all plain and clean.

Her noble said she looked good in plain clothes, and over time she became accustomed to it.

Chun Lan originally wanted to carry Yun Xiao to the room to pay her respects, but Yun Xiao declined. Wasn’t that all she had to do? In his previous life, he had suffered more than this.

He summoned two women to bring the Spring Forest with him. The Spring Forest had been nurtured for so long, and his body had mostly recovered. However, the Spring Forest had pretended to be unconscious and was unwilling to wake up.

The Spring Forest was very frightened about moving. The old woman advised for a while that it was a reward. Only then did the Spring Forest slowly calm down.

Along the way to the upper room, Yun Xiao saw Yun Yang and Yun Lan in the room, as well as Yun Maozhe, Madam Lu and Madam Sun.

She smiled and bowed to the crowd. She heard an extremely cold snort from the tip of her ear, pretending that she didn’t hear it.

Yun Maozhe’s gaze fell on the person behind Yun Xiao, “Is this the girl who saved Xiaoxiao?”

Yun Xiao took a step to the side and made Chun Lin anxiously kneel down to salute the person behind him. “This servant pays respects to Old Madame. Master Yun greets you.”

Yun Maozhe asked someone to help Chun Lin up and said directly, “What reward do you want for saving Fourth Young Lady? My Yun Clan will naturally not mistreat you.”

Chun Lin knelt down again and said in horror, “In that situation, this servant also instinctively saved the fourth young miss. This servant does not want to be rewarded, just wants food and clothing.”

Yun Maozhe frowned invisibly, “Since that’s the case, the Yun Clan doesn’t want to owe you a favor. Are you satisfied with giving you a two-storey house?”

Chun Lin looked up in astonishment. A trace of joy appeared in his eyes. However, he didn’t know what was going on. The joy in his eyes faded. “This servant is just a lowly life. I shouldn’t be rewarded like this.”

Yun Xiao just stood at the side and watched coldly. Her expression was kind and gentle. Because of Chun Lin’s words, everyone in the room looked at her differently. This scene really happened again in front of her.

However, she only felt that it was ridiculous.

Chun Lin’s voice rang out in his ears again. “This servant only asks the Yun Manor to take in this servant. This servant is lonely and has lost both her parents. Even if Master Yun gives her a reward, this servant will not be able to defend it. This servant is only willing to be a maidservant beside the Fourth Young Lady.”

Everyone looked at Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao only smiled faintly and curled her lips. A trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. “Since that’s the case, then it’s as you wish. Since you saved me, I naturally won’t treat you wrongly.”

In your previous life, you tried to come to me. In this life, you did as you wished. I want to see what else you can do.

“She saved our fourth sister’s life. If she were to become a slave, the people would definitely say that our Yun Clan is ungrateful.” An unsinister voice rang out, “She saved our fourth sister’s life. If she were to become a slave, I’m afraid it would spread out.”

Yun Xiao curled her lips. The corner of her eyes looked at Yun Yang, who had a face full of training. She seemed to be pondering for a while. Her lips gently opened, “Big Brother is right. Why don’t I ask Daddy to marry Chun Lin to Big Brother? The people will definitely say that we Yun Clan brothers and sisters are deeply attached to each other and repay our kindness.”

When Yun Xiao said those words, her gaze brought the changes in everyone’s expressions into her eyes. She did not expect that Chun Lin’s eyes would light up again and she secretly remembered them in her heart.

Yun Yang never thought that Yun Xiao would actually dare to refute him. It was still such a sharp counterattack. His face was blue and purple. “I am the Yun Clan’s Eldest Young Master, how can I marry such a lowly woman?”

When Yun Xiao saw Chun Lin’s body, she unconsciously trembled and curled her lips. “Is that so? But she’s different. She saved your sister’s life.”

Yun Yang looked at Yun Xiao angrily. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Madam Sun’s voice. “Second Young Master and Fourth Young Lady have a closer relationship. If you want to repay your kindness, you should marry Second Young Master, right?”

Madam Sun had always wanted to find a direct descendant of an official family for Yun Yang, but she did not think highly of the concubines. Yun Yang’s marriage was delayed until this time, so she wanted to borrow Yun Yao and the Shen Family to marry. With the support of the Shen Family, Yun Yang’s marriage would be easier to handle.

However, her age was orderly. Now that Yun Yao was pregnant, Yun Yang’s marriage had to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Yun Xiao analyzed the situation clearly and said with a smile, “Second Mother was wrong. Although Big Brother is from the concubine, he is also the eldest son of the Yun Family. Big Brother’s marriage is uncertain, so how can Second Brother’s marriage be decided?”

In his previous life, his second brother went to join the army and died on the way. Yun Yao and the eldest young master of the Shen Clan were engaged. As a result, Yun Yang got a good marriage and married the daughter of the first wife of the Brother Lang Clan, who was a member of the Fifth Grade Ministry of Rites.

Although Madam Sun mentioned Ping’s wife, her real direct son was still Yun Lan. This was also a thorn in Madam Sun’s heart. “It’s just that we decided on the marriage first. It’s not like we’re married. Could it be that the fourth young miss doesn’t look down on the girl who saved you?”

Yun Xiao wasn’t angry either. She looked at Yun Maozhe and smiled, “I don’t dislike it. No matter whose woman it is, as long as Second Brother likes me, I will support it. However, now that Big Brother’s marriage has been delayed, it doesn’t matter if Second Brother’s marriage is delayed a little. However, Third Sister can’t delay it now.”

In her previous life, when her father wasn’t around, Madam Yuan decided to set the matter aside and arranged for Yun Yao to get married first. However, in this life, they could be eaten in an orderly manner with a single child. Father definitely wouldn’t allow Madam Sun to continue to pick and choose.

If Yun Yao’s stomach grew bigger, the Yun Clan would lose face. If the child was killed, the Yun Clan would definitely have a grudge with the Shen Clan.

Yun Maozhe narrowed his eyes. Yun Yao was now a thorn in his heart. Now that Yun Yang and Yun Lan were both sixteen years old, it was time for them to get engaged. Yun Yang had been slow to get married and Yun Lan had been delayed.

However, he did not want Yun Yang to marry a maidservant as his main wife. “Alright, since the girl has decided, let’s do as the girl wishes.”

With Yun Maozhe’s words, this matter was settled just like that.

When she walked out of the room, Yun Xiao saw a blue figure walking over from the corner of her eyes. The corner of her mouth rose slightly and she deliberately slowed down her pace.

Yun Yang quickly caught up and laughed angrily, “Fourth sister has daddy backing her up, so she’s getting tough. However, there’s an idiom that says’ Gang Ji Zhe Yi Zhe ‘. Fourth sister has to be careful.”

Yun Xiao said briskly, “Thank you for your reminder, big brother. However, little sister also wants to tell big brother when big brother wants to marry Chun Lin. Remember to let me know.” Chun Lin’s gaze towards Yun Yang contained traces of admiration. He really couldn’t tell what would happen in the future.

Yun Yang felt a wave of sullen anger clogging his heart. Just as he was about to refute, he heard a faint laugh from behind him. “Big Brother, it’s better to get engaged earlier. Otherwise, our marriage will be worried about Grandmother and Daddy. Big Brother is the most filial. I don’t think he would do such an unfilial thing.”

Yun Yang glared at the siblings, snorted coldly, and turned around to leave.

Walking to Yun Xiao’s side, Yun Lan sized her up and frowned, “Why did I make myself look like this after just a day away?”

Yun Xiao shook her head and laughed, “This looks good. I’m not the one who’s unlucky.”

“What about the feet?” He had heard Brother Han tell him everything that happened yesterday, so he almost folded himself in. “In the future, you must not let yourself fall into such a dilemma.”

Yun Xiao replied with a light smile. The maidservant Chun Mei hurriedly ran over and came forward to greet the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Lady. She bowed respectfully and said, “This servant greets the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Lady.”

Seeing Chun Mei run so fast, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed, “What’s the hurry?”

Chun Mei said respectfully, “Cousin Young Mistress is here. Wait in the courtyard. This servant will report to you.”

Yun Xiao secretly disdained in her heart. Lan Shuya, you really can’t wait. You rushed over early in the morning and said, “Big brother, cousin is here. Do you want to go take a look together?”

Yun Lan shook his head directly. “Alright, hurry up and go back. Don’t make your cousin wait for too long. You guys go celebrate the birthday of county princess Huining and buy more beautiful clothes. Our people from Yun Clan can’t be too shabby to attend the banquet. Go out and play. Remember to bring a few more guards.” He had been worried about joining the army recently.

Yun Xiao replied with a smile. Now that she was being hated by others, she naturally had to pay attention to her own safety. She instructed Chun Mei, “Take Brother Han with you. I’ll go report it to father.” Brother Han had always disliked Lan Shuya, who often came crying and complaining.

Lan Shuya, this time, I will definitely teach you how to behave as a true daughter!

As a cousin, she had an obligation, didn’t she?
