Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 248
Chapter 248 Step By Step Crisis
Yun Xiao did not hide her identity for too long. Seeing that Zhou Jingxu had already turned around and looked over, she carefully poked her head out and chuckled at the man opposite her.
Zhou Jingxu’s heart finally relaxed.
Although he did not know what was going on with Yun Xiao’s clothes, as long as Yun Xiao was still safe, it would be a good thing!
Zhou Jingxu said a few words to Yun Xiao with his lips, and Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Zhou Jingxu had a proper measure, it would be good.
She could feel relieved.
Only then did he look into the room through the window.
At this time, Zhou Jingyan had already followed the servant into a room. There was only a chair in the room, and a pot of hot tea was placed on the chair. This room was very spacious and large.
In a corner of the room, the woman she had seen in the backyard just happened to be standing at the small door in front of her. Seeing Zhou Jingyan enter, she hurriedly welcomed him, “Why did you come to this vulgar place? Please move to the front hall.”
However, when she said this, her expression was very ugly.
Just as he finished speaking, two large men ran out in horror. “Mama Zhao, there’s no one in this room!”
From Yun Xiao’s point of view, he could see that Zhou Jingyan was currently in the same room as the one where he was being held. There was only a wall separating him. The small door that he must have seen led to Zhou Jingyan’s current location.
Yun Xiao secretly sighed in her heart. She did not expect that what she had expected would be exactly the same.
County princess Huining really made up her mind.
Hearing the big man’s words, Mama Zhao’s expression suddenly turned extremely ugly. “How could there be no one left?” After she finished speaking, she forgot that she was currently entertaining a distinguished guest. She hurriedly turned around and walked into the wooden room. When she saw the empty room, her expression suddenly became extremely ugly.
Zhou Jingyan’s brows furrowed when he heard this. His gaze flashed with a hint of worry. When he looked at the house, his expression was extremely impatient and disgusted. He wished he could leave this place immediately.
“Who is missing?” If what he expected was correct, the person who was imprisoned here today would definitely be Yun Xiao.
When he came here, he made up his mind to save Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao must be grateful to him. At that time, as long as he said he would marry Yun Xiao, she would definitely be happy.
Now, the Yun Clan was in power again, and the benefits of marrying Yun Xiao were the entire Yun Clan.
Since the Yun Clan had been able to establish themselves in the capital for so many years, their relationship had long been intertwined. In addition to the Yun Clan’s financial position, the chances of him fighting for that position would increase by more than a bit.
However, who would have known about Yun Xiao’s current situation? Saved Yun Xiao?
Mama Zhao hurriedly knelt down and said respectfully, “Please spare my life, this servant doesn’t know anything.”
She glared fiercely at the two people around her, her gaze carrying a hint of anger. It was all because these people didn’t take good care of that woman. Now that the county magistrate hadn’t finished what he had instructed, she had actually messed up this matter and offended the Third Prince.
The two big men behind him also knelt down anxiously. Those who could make Mama Zhao respect them would definitely have powerful lives. Moreover, the bearing of this person’s entire body must be extraordinary.
Zhou Jingyan got up from his chair and paced into the woodshed. He sized up all the corners of the room before finally looking at the chair beside the windowsill. He could clearly see two footprints there!
Zhou Jingyan’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He did not expect that Yun Xiao would escape alone, which was beyond his expectations.
I didn’t expect that Yun Xiao would actually have such great ability! However, no matter what, he wanted Yun Xiao to be grateful to him. He coldly instructed, “Someone has kidnapped the people here. Judging from the situation, I’m afraid they won’t be able to run far. All of you, gather all the people you can use in the courtyard to find them.”
Mama Zhao hurriedly answered, winked at the two big men, and the big man hastily retreated.
The burly man had just opened the door when he met Er Mei, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Looking at her graceful figure, his mind swayed and he almost pounced on her.
Ermei snorted coldly and entered the room when she saw the two men looking at her infatuatedly.
She had just rushed to the front hall when she received news that the noble had come to the firewood shed, so she hurriedly rushed over. She did not expect that she would really encounter the noble here.
At this moment, Ermei could only see the elegant man in the room. His eyes were infatuated and he could not see the cold atmosphere in the room clearly. He lifted his skirt and walked forward slowly. The corner of his mouth revealed a smile that he thought was the most charming. He said coquettishly, “Master, why don’t you sit down and talk?”
Zhou Jingyan listened to the words and turned his head to face a face with heavy makeup. The pungent smell of inferior powder made Zhou Jingyan frown involuntarily.
When the guard Zhang Qing saw this, he immediately walked over and stood in front of Er Mei. His eyes revealed a cold light as he said, “Stop!”
However, Er Mei’s heart was already on Zhou Jingyan’s body, and she turned a blind eye to the surrounding words. She hurriedly said, “Lord Guan, please calm down. This servant is here to serve you.” After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand and pulled out her clothes, revealing the towering softness in front of her.
When Mama Zhao saw this, she wished she could throw Ermei out, but a faint expectation arose in her heart. Perhaps Ermei would be able to breathe the anger of His Highness the Third Prince.
Mama Zhao tried her best to give Ermei a few colors, but the little girl didn’t see it at all.
She had an embarrassed expression and coughed softly, but she still hadn’t recalled Ermei’s spirit.
How could these small movements of hers be hidden from Zhou Jingyan’s eyes? His gaze flickered with a faint coldness. His thin lips gently opened, and he said something that made one’s entire body freeze, “Kill!”
Zhang Qing did not show the slightest bit of softness. He raised his saber and landed. The moment he put down his hand, a stream of bright red blood sprayed out. Then, Ermei’s disbelieving eyebrows shot out.
It was as if she didn’t understand why. Why did she get rid of Sanmei, but she fell to the same level as Sanmei?
Ermei turned around with great difficulty and looked at the noble lady not far away with a frightened expression. She was clearly as gentle as jade, how could she give such an order?
She smiled miserably. She regretted it. She shouldn’t have killed her sisters who accompanied her all day long in order to see this so-called noble person. Perhaps this was her retribution, right?
Thinking of this, she laughed even more wantonly. She spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Mama Zhao did not expect that the Third Prince would actually kill him as soon as he said so. She immediately screamed out in fear, “Ahhhh!”
He hurriedly retreated, but when he reached the door, he couldn’t tell the direction for an instant. Instead, he was blocked by the threshold behind him and fell straight back.
Inside the woodshed, Mama Zhao’s face was filled with horror. She hurriedly got up from the ground and covered the corner of her lips tightly. She breathed heavily, as if a hand had grabbed her neck.
When Zhou Jingyan saw this scene, his eyes were filled with ridicule, but his face was as gentle as a long one. “Mama Zhao, don’t be afraid. I’m just tired of the smell of powder on her body. Tell me what happened today. I won’t kill you.”
Mama Zhao hurriedly stood up and made a few noises at Zhou Jingyan. With a frightened expression, she told Zhou Jingyan everything that had happened today. “Today, there was a familiar tooth woman who brought the woman in the woodshed. She said that she was going to rape her in front of noble people. She needed to find more men to dispel the hatred in her heart …”
After she finished speaking, she saw that Zhou Jingyan’s expression did not change at all. She was scared and did not know if this noble person wanted this information. Suddenly, she remembered something and said anxiously, “When this servant heard what Granny Ya said, her family was like a county princess.”
After Zhou Jingyan heard what she said, he knew that everything he had speculated had come true.
This woman was truly courageous!
Sending Yun Xiao here almost ruined his own big deal!
Zhou Jingyan’s gentle eyes suddenly emitted an extremely cold aura. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Two large men carried a woman into the room, followed by two other large men.
The two men in front threw the woman on the ground. The thin veil slightly rose, revealing a large piece of skin, causing the eyes of the surrounding men to shine with golden light.
The two men who followed behind were carrying a wet woman. She was covered in a cloth and was able to dodge. She was fiercely thrown onto the ground, and her cloak was thrown to the side.
The woman’s livid complexion and exquisite figure were revealed.
It was the dead Sanmei.
Even if he was already dead, it was hard to conceal his beauty.
Mama Zhao suddenly saw these two people and her eyes were filled with fear.
This Sanmei was her pillar, how could Sanmei die?
She felt a burst of pain, but seeing the bodyguard Zhou Jingyan had brought, she had a look of disdain on her face and did not dare to walk over.
Zhou Jingyan looked at the two people lying on the ground. A cold light flashed in his eyes. “What’s going on?”
One of the men hurriedly pointed at the woman and said, “When we were searching the courtyard, we found Mother Hui lying on the ground. I don’t know what happened, but we brought her here.”
Zhou Jingyan frowned, “Wake her up. What’s wrong with this woman?”
“Sanmei also appeared in the well as a girl who went to fetch water. When we fished her out, Sanmei was already dead.” The man’s words carried a deep regret. Such a beauty had actually died without enjoying it.
After the big man finished speaking, Hui Niang also woke up. She stared blankly at the scene in the room, not knowing why.
How dare Mama Zhao offend Zhou Jingyan again? He hurriedly crawled over and hurriedly said, “Mother Hui, hurry up and tell me, how did you faint? What exactly happened?”
After she finished speaking, she said, “There is a noble person here, you must not hide anything!”
Hui Ning looked around and knew what Mama Zhao had hinted at. He hurriedly told her what happened when he met Yun Xiao today.
After Zhou Jingyan heard this, a cold smile flashed through his eyes. He did not expect that Yun Xiao’s ability was not small. He had always underestimated Yun Xiao.
Just as Zhou Jingyan was secretly enraged, a chaotic sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside, heading straight for the courtyard.
“Mama Zhao, hurry up and come out. There are officers and soldiers coming …”
