Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 247
Chapter 247 Remind Jing Xu
Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, and a streak of light flashed in her eyes.
Since Zhou Jingyan had already left the room, it proved that a good thing was about to happen.
Qing Mo glanced sideways at Yun Xiao’s bright eyes and swallowed all the words that came to his mouth. A hint of sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth. He snorted coldly and continued, “Miss, are you waiting for something to happen?”
Yun Xiao tilted her head and happened to see Qing Mo’s cold face. Even though she smiled, she said, “Yes, it’s better to watch this scene from the sidelines.”
Seeing that Zhou Jingyan’s figure could not be seen from this position, Yun Xiao frowned. She carefully hugged the tree trunk and carefully shifted her position. Finally, she was able to see Zhou Jingyan. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Just because of her movement, a branch fell from the branch between the lush branches.
It was already deep in winter, and there were no branches or leaves on the table. Once it fell, no one below would be fine. If it was someone else, they would definitely discover that there were two more people hiding here.
Fortunately, there was no one below.
Just as Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, she heard a “Aiyo” sound coming from below.
Yun Xiao hurriedly lowered her head and saw a man wearing a pale green robe. Her eyes were cold and her expression instantly became awkward.
Isn’t there no one here? What kind of person actually took advantage of this moment to hide here?
Before Yun Xiao could continue to see who was hit by the branch, her waist tightened and Qing Mo grabbed her and quickly moved to the back of the branch.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not appropriate for anyone to discover her whereabouts now.
After Yun Xiao relaxed, she suddenly remembered something. Why did she feel that the voice of the person who was smashed by the branch sounded so familiar?
Who exactly was he?
Yun Xiao slowly stretched out her head and hid behind the branches, quietly looking at the ground.
He saw a youth wearing a light green robe walk out from under the tree. The youth’s face was young and tender. He was inferior to the weak crown and did not have his hair tied up. His exquisite face carried a hint of anger, but he immediately stopped his voice.
Yun Xiao frowned tightly. She did not expect that she would actually be in Zhou Jingxu!
Why is he here?
Yun Xiao was puzzled and thought for a moment. Perhaps he was following Zhou Jingyan? Are you here to find yourself?
For some reason, a faint warmth rose in Yun Xiao’s heart.
Just as he was about to remind Zhou Jingxu, Qing Mo covered his mouth while he was here.
When was this time, how could he make a sound at will? “If you don’t want to be discovered by the people in the room, you’d better not speak now.”
Yun Xiao frowned, a trace of condensation appearing in her eyes. At this moment, she suddenly saw a few familiar figures and felt relieved.
Regardless, Zhou Jingxu’s life was no longer in danger due to the presence of someone outside and Zhou Jingxu’s eccentric temperament.
Only then did he feel relieved, but he still hesitated and stared at the people in the room from the branches. The corner of his eyes was watching Zhou Jingxu’s every move.
After Yun Xiao hesitated for a while, Zhou Jingxu looked around and looked at the big tree where Yun Xiao was hiding. Seeing that there was no one, he carefully moved forward.
A trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He quickly approached the room, turned around, and entered a room. He carefully found a hidden corner and stopped.
At this moment, Yun Xiao suddenly saw Zhou Jingxu take out a rope with eight iron hooks from his hand. With the help of the rope, he quickly climbed onto the roof.
He carefully uncovered a patch of bricks and tiles.
Yun Xiao secretly sighed. She did not expect that Zhou Jingxu’s hand was not weak. Normally, she would not even notice it.
However, although Zhou Jingxu’s current hand was not bad, if Yun Xiao had expected it, the servant Zhou Jingyan had brought today was also extraordinary. He must be Zhou Jingyan’s hidden guard.
Yun Xiao winked at Qing Mo. She was afraid that if Zhou Jingxu and the hidden guard met, it would be troublesome at that time. She wanted Qing Mo to remind Jing Xu next week.
Qing Mo looked at Yun Xiao and saw that her gaze was firm, so he no longer tried to dissuade her.
At the end of the day, Qing Mo saw two naked women walking over. He held a branch with his finger and threw it at one of the women. This branch just happened to be on the woman’s head.
The woman took a few steps back in anger and embarrassment. “What bad luck. My makeup that I just put on was smashed by this. How can I see a noble person when my makeup is dressed?”
Another woman turned around, her eyes flashing with pride. She hurriedly comforted, “Sanmei, don’t worry. You should go back and change your clothes first. I’ll go serve the noble first. Since you’re gone now, the noble won’t notice you. Instead, you should go back and change into clothes that can stunning the four of you and catch the noble’s gaze in one fell swoop.”
How could a woman called Sanmei not be able to see through this woman’s thoughts? If she could not see the noble now, then this woman would be less threatened. She did not know how happy she would be in the bottom of her heart.
Angry, why didn’t this branch hit her?
Let’s see what else she can do.
Right at this moment, another tattered branch suddenly fell from the tree and smashed into the clothes of another woman. At that time, the gray wood fragments of the branch flew about, causing the veil on the woman’s body to fall from one black patch to the other black patch.
Sanmei said with a smile, “Sister Ermei, “Alright, let’s go back and get groomed together. Normally, it doesn’t matter what kind of makeup we see. Anyway, those people won’t pity us. I heard that there is a noble person here today. If he dresses embarrassedly, he will definitely be disliked by the noble person. Coincidentally, just like what sister said just now, he will go back and dress himself beautifully again.”
Before they arrived, the two of them had spent enough time dressing up in order to get a new look. That was why they were late. Naturally, they were unwilling to leave like this. But if they didn’t return, wouldn’t their efforts today be in vain?
Er Mei’s expression turned ugly for a moment. She had thought that she could persuade San Mei, who was always trying to steal the limelight from her, to go back. Who knew that San Mei would use the same words to stop her?
Ermei turned around. He looked at Sanmei with resentment. He turned his gaze and suddenly looked at the dress on Sanmei’s body. The gray fragments had only landed on Sanmei’s face and head. The clothes were still fine. Now, he just happened to lack a piece of clothes. If he could wear this beautiful dress on Sanmei’s body, it would save him a lot of time.
Ermei immediately changed her expression and said with a smile, “Sister is right. Since that’s the case, let’s go back together.” After she finished speaking, she took the lead.
Sanmei also followed with a smile. A sneer flashed across her face. Since she couldn’t obtain it, you couldn’t think of it.
The two of them walked forward. However, when they walked past a corner, Ermei quickly turned around and pressed down on Sanmei’s neck, knocking her head against the wall.
Sanmei did not expect Ermei to do such a thing. Her eyebrows widened, and a trace of disbelief flashed in her eyes.
Even when he was about to die, his gaze still carried traces of surprise and hatred.
Ermei immediately walked over. ‘”Sanmei, I’m really sorry. You’re just too beautiful. If you want to compete with me for everything, I would be impatient. If you went to see the noble today, the noble would definitely not notice me. Now, I can only wronge you. Next year, I will definitely burn more paper money for you.” Sanmei said apologetically.
After she finished speaking, she quickly dragged down Sanmei’s skirt and threw her into a well. She quickly changed into Sanmei’s clothes and looked at Qing Shui’s makeup before rushing towards the courtyard.
On the other side, Yun Xiao, who saw this scene, opened her brows and tightly clenched her hands together. She did not expect that just two branches would actually kill a person.
There was also that Ermei, who didn’t even blink his eyes after killing someone.
Yun Xiao couldn’t help but recall that in her previous life, Lan Shuya had quietly gossiped in front of Zhou Jingyan and ended up harming their mother and son’s lives as well as the family of Yun Clan!
How familiar this scene was! And hateful.
However, he didn’t expect such a thing to happen in this tiny courtyard.
That woman had probably sent him here because she wanted him to die here, and she had asked Zhou Jingyan to come and see her being humiliated. From now on, she no longer had the qualifications to be the Third Prince’s princess.
Not only did he ruin her reputation, but he also left a path for himself. What a good method!
Qing Mo only looked at them coldly. There wasn’t the slightest bit of self-blame on her face. It was just a person dying. She had seen countless dead people before, and she had only survived after stepping on the corpses of countless people.
Moreover, the two of them already had a grudge, and today was just another opportunity.
Sooner or later, there would be an accident between the two of them. But now, she had only let this matter advance a little.
It wasn’t just Yun Xiao and Qing Mo who noticed all of this, there was also another person on the roof.
Zhou Jingxu frowned tightly. At this moment, his attention was not on the two jealous women who wanted to serve the noble, but on the two branches that had just fallen from the tree.
Just now, a branch had smashed into him, and now, it just so happened to smash into these two women. This was definitely not normal.
If it was just a coincidence, it might be a coincidence, but hitting a person one after another could only mean that there was something strange about this tree.
There was a faint strangeness in his heart, and there was also a hint of anticipation. This must be someone warning him!
Zhou Jingxu’s gaze hurriedly searched the tree for a moment, but he didn’t notice anything strange about the tree. Just as Zhou Jingxu was about to give up, he suddenly saw the corner of his clothes.
However, Zhou Jingyan frowned again. The color of the clothes was not the color that wood usually liked, much less the clothes that wood wore today. Who was this person?
