Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Clues Appear
After Ban Xia left, County Lord Hui Ning once again paced to the window and looked into the distance. At this moment, his face suddenly turned pale. Not far from the corner of the street, that figure was extremely familiar.

It was actually Zhou Jingyan who had returned!

County princess Huining pursed her lips tightly and made up her mind that Zhou Jingyan definitely couldn’t discover what had happened today.

Countess Huining hurriedly turned around from the window and tidied up her clothes and hair bun before opening the door and leaving.

County Lord Hui Ning heaved a sigh of relief when he walked out of the restaurant and was not discovered by anyone.

Normally, there would always be maids by her side. Now, there was no one by her side and she was extremely low-key. Naturally, very few people noticed her.

Seeing the carriage parked at the entrance of the restaurant, county princess Huining heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly walked over and stepped on the foot stool to get into the carriage. Before entering the carriage, she turned to look in the direction Zhou Jingyan had come from.

There was an inexplicable expression in his eyes as he clenched his hands tightly together. Obviously, there was a strong hatred in his heart.

Zhou Jingyan, since you are so precious to this Yun Xiao, I will let your most precious woman disappear from your face today. From now on, she can only be reduced to a woman who sleeps with thousands of people.

After county princess Hui Ning got into the carriage, he suddenly remembered that leaving so quietly would definitely cause Zhou Jingyan to be unhappy with him. He let Chun Lan get off the carriage again and whispered a few words to the shopkeeper in the restaurant before turning around.

The carriage slowly started. County Lord Hui Ning’s face was filled with excitement, embarrassment, and an indelible smile.

She stretched out her finger and touched Yun Xiao’s delicate makeup face.

Normally, Yun Xiao rarely dressed up. Even if her clothes were thicker, she rarely wore makeup on her face. Therefore, in the eyes of the capital’s dignitaries, Yun Xiao was just a small piece of jade.

I never thought that today’s makeup would be so eye-catching.

Even though County Lord Hui Ning didn’t want to admit it, he could clearly feel that Yun Xiao’s makeup was even more beautiful than his own.

No wonder Zhou Jingyan liked such a woman! I never forget her.

Even if he was honest with himself in the room, was bumped into by outsiders, and had the support of his mother and the royal family, Zhou Jingyan was unwilling to make himself a princess, and wanted to keep this princess’ seat for Yun Xiao.

There was also the scene from his previous life. The Yun Clan was clearly in such a state of despair, and they were charged with treason. Zhou Jingyan was unwilling to abolish the Empress Yun Xiao.

Finally, regardless of the opposition of the civil and military officials, they did not abolish Yun Xiao’s post.

Afterwards, after Yun Xiao committed suicide, Zhou Jingyan did not stand up for Yun Xiao, this bitch!

In this life, he was clearly the one who was shaking in front of Zhou Jingyan, and he had even given Zhou Jingyan great help. However, Zhou Jingyan still had a deep affection for Yun Xiao!

Why?

She looked at her subordinate, Yun Xiao, and wished she could use her palm to end Yun Xiao’s life.

However, she definitely wouldn’t let Yun Xiao die just like that!

She wanted Yun Xiao to die with the most unbearable face.

He wanted to let Zhou Jingyan see Yun Xiao’s most unbearable side and destroy her image in Zhou Jingyan’s heart!

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared in County Lord Huining’s heart!

Only in this way would he be able to relieve the hatred in his heart!

“County princess, where are we going now?” Ban Xia looked at county princess Hui Ning’s current appearance, and a faint fear arose in her heart. However, she did not dare to express the fear in her heart at this moment!

“Go to West City!” County Lord Hui Ning blurted out without thinking!

Hearing that, Ban Xia’s face turned even paler. He hurriedly lowered his head, but didn’t dare to speak.

…

At this moment, Zhou Jingyan finally managed to get out of the street. However, he remembered that there was County Lord Hui Ning waiting in the restaurant.

Although county princess Hui Ning wasn’t very well now and the forces behind her weren’t big, county princess Hui Ning had told her several times that everything had happened one by one. County princess Hui Ning said that she had the ability to predict the future. Although sometimes, it was indeed unreliable, it was still very useful to her.

Therefore, even if he didn’t like county princess Hui Ning anymore, he had no choice but to lie to county princess Hui Ning.

Moreover, county princess Hui Ning knew that she liked Yunxiao and was prepared to give Imperial Concubine Yunxiao a seat. The jealousy of a woman was an important weapon!

As for him, he had fully utilized this weapon and used county princess Hui Ning as a sharp weapon. County princess Hui Ning would definitely do his best to help him in order to obtain the position of imperial concubine.

In this way, no matter what request he made to county princess Hui Ning, county princess Hui Ning would complete it!

And this was the most advantageous thing for him!

Zhou Jingyan thought for a moment, and the corner of his mouth curved into a faint arc. However, a trace of mockery flashed through the depths of his eyes.

He walked forward with big strides, but in his mind, he kept imagining everything that had happened today.

Someone must have planned this for a long time. Who exactly is it? To actually have such a big method, to hold everything in his hands, this kind of feeling of being schemed by others was really not good.

Who exactly was he? To actually be able to promote all of this?

Yun Xiao? However, Zhou Jingyan shook his head. Although this woman had some tactics, she would not have such a powerful force.

Just as he entered the restaurant, the shopkeeper greeted him and said respectfully, “Third Highness, what a coincidence you came. Hui Ning has just left.”

“Oh?” Zhou Jingyan was momentarily surprised. Why would that woman leave? She clearly wouldn’t leave like this as long as she had the chance to be with him. “Only then? Did she say why?”

Zhou Jingyan said as he gave the shopkeeper a silver ingot.

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, “County Lord Huining said that she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, so she went back first and came to apologize to His Highness the next day.”

Zhou Jingyan nodded. The shopkeeper retreated. There was nothing wrong with county princess Huining’s words. Moreover, county princess Huining had waited in this restaurant for a long time. It was only natural for her to return. However, he originally wanted to return and ask county princess Huining if she could predict who was behind all of this with her ability to predict the future.

However, there was no need to ask now.

Zhou Jingyan strode up the second floor. However, before he stepped into the original private room, his eyes narrowed dangerously. Something seemed to be wrong on the ground.

Zhou Jingyan was puzzled. His expression was still calm. After he entered the room, he looked at it for a few times. It was the same as when he left. However, there was a difference on the ground.

Zhou Jingyan squatted down and wiped the ground with his fingers. He looked up and found that this was not the soil left behind by a person’s shoes, because there were some fine threads mixed inside. If it weren’t for the sunlight, he wouldn’t have been able to see it.

Zhou Jingyan entered, closed the door, sized up the room, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

Soon, Zhou Jingyan discovered that there was something different. There were a few strands of hair twisted up on the chair behind the screen. Normally, the young lady’s family cherished her appearance and hair the most, and she was meticulous in her care. How could she leave hair on the chair?

Zhou Jingyan continued to inspect the room and walked back and forth. In the end, he found a gunny sack in an extremely secret place.

Zhou Jingyan’s breathing suddenly became heavier. How could a sack appear in this room?

And county princess Hui Ning suddenly wanted to leave. Thinking about all of this, it was certain that this matter had something to do with county princess Hui Ning!

Zhou Jingyan hurriedly walked down the stairs. Seeing the shopkeeper, he hurriedly called him over and said with a cold expression, “Is there anything strange when County Lord Hui Ning left?”

The shopkeeper thought for a moment before finally saying, “When County Lord Huining left, she was helped out by her maidservant. I wonder what happened to County Lord Huining.”

It must be related to the fact that she was uncomfortable and was supported out.

However, judging from Zhou Jingyan’s current expression, the shopkeeper was somewhat uncertain.

Zhou Jingyan’s face suddenly turned a little pale. Originally, he was only suspicious, but now, he was certain that this matter was definitely related to county princess Hui Ning.

I didn’t expect that county princess Hui Ning was behind this.

If county princess Hui Ning was right in front of him, Zhou Jingyan would definitely question county princess Hui Ning.

After Zhou Jingyan spoke to the shopkeeper, he hurriedly went out and mounted his horse, arriving at the entrance of the Eldest Princess Mansion.

In his heart, he thought about what had happened today again, and his expression became more and more embarrassed in the end.

He got off his horse and hurriedly grabbed a servant. The servant wanted to salute but was stopped by Zhou Jingyan. “Did your county princess come back?”

The servant saw Zhou Jingyan’s embarrassed expression and said boldly, “Reporting to His Highness the third prince, the county princess did not come back. Did something happen to my county princess?”

However, Zhou Jingyan did not have the energy to look at the servant anymore. He hurriedly mounted his horse again. This time, he returned to the Third Prince’s mansion.

He hastily summoned his attendant. He had already ordered the hidden guards to search for County Lord Hui Ning. “This time, no matter where you find County Lord Hui Ning, you must notify me in time. You must not move freely. Besides, Yang Ming disappeared from the streets for no reason. Go and find him again. Remember not to alert anyone.”

Seeing that the servant was about to leave, Zhou Jingyan coldly snorted and immediately instructed, “Report to me everything that happened on the streets today, as well as everything that happened in the refugee area in the south of the city, and what Zhou Jingxu and Zhou Jingchen did today!”

The hidden guard hurriedly answered and respectfully left the room, leaving Zhou Jingyan alone. He stared at the entire room with an inexplicable expression.
