Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 256
Chapter 256 Speak Frankly And Sincerely
Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly stiff, and her gaze flickered with a trace of faint apprehension.
Yun Maozhe smiled indifferently and said softly, “Xiaoxiao, you are my daughter. Are you lying? Can’t I tell?” “What you said in your grandmother’s house is true, but it’s not the real reason to help Rong Jin. Also, right now, county princess Yun Clan and Rong Jin and the three families have formed a tripartite situation. This is what you’ve been looking forward to, right?”
Yun Xiao’s expression was slightly cold. The steps beneath her feet seemed to weigh a thousand gold. She could no longer take a single step forward. She looked at Yun Maozhe in front of her anxiously, “Daddy?”
However, Yun Maozhe didn’t care at all. His expression was unprecedentedly carefree. “Xiaoxiao, sometimes daddy hates that you’re not a man, but now he hates you even more.”
“I have only five children in my life, Now that Brother Yang is gone, Your second brother left, Your third sister is the same as she is now, Brother Han is still young, The only thing daddy can point to, It’s you, I’ve wasted most of my father’s life, Not as thorough as a little girl like you, “Our Yun Clan is the most powerful clan in the capital. It has long attracted the attention of the royal family. Being stared at by the Emperor all day long, although it seems to be a good thing, there are advantages and disadvantages. The Yun Clan is getting bigger and bigger now, which has aroused the fear of the royal family. Father has long been thinking about how to solve this situation. I didn’t expect that this matter would be easily resolved in your hands.”
Yun Maozhe’s face was filled with gratification, causing Yun Xiao to be shocked. She did not expect that Yun Maozhe would actually think of the same thing as herself.
Yun Xiao suddenly walked forward and knelt down heavily in front of Yun Maozhe. “Daddy, this matter is my daughter’s fault. My daughter is in a hurry and did not discuss this matter with my father. She almost brought disaster to the Yun Clan.”
“No, you did well.” Yun Maozhe helped Yun Xiao up and said with a smile, “Daddy hates you. He hates that you’re not a man. However, from now on, Daddy will be at ease. Even if he hands the Yun Family to you in the future, Daddy will be at ease.”
Yun Xiao was surprised. How could Yun Maozhe have such a reaction? “Daddy?”
“Come, Daddy, I’ll tell you slowly.” Yun Maozhe took off his cloak. She draped it over Yun Xiao’s shoulders and said, “Although our Yun Clan is engaged in business, but it is also very close to the DPRK and China, To gain a foothold in the capital, one naturally needed to know the direction of the capital clearly. Although the Crown Prince seemed to be supported by the Emperor every day, the Third Prince, Fifth Prince, and the others could not be underestimated. It was already difficult for the Crown Prince to escape by luck last time, but what would happen in the future? “Someone will definitely set up the Crown Prince for the second time, and fighting for the position of Crown Prince will definitely require a large amount of money. Our Yun Family’s fat meat has long been targeted. Daddy doesn’t want you to marry into the royal family and become a bargaining chip for the prince. Our Yun Family can survive even if we don’t marry the prince.”
“Daddy has already heard that the Third Prince has pleaded with the Emperor to make you the Third Prince’s princess. Daddy is very gratified that you have rejected this marriage. And the suffering of our Yun Family must have something to do with this matter.” After Yun Maozhe finished his sentence, he let out a long sigh, and his tone was filled with helplessness.
After Yun Xiao heard Yun Maozhe’s words, she felt the corners of her eyes flicker with sparkling water lights.
She finally understood why her father had tried so hard to stop her from marrying Zhou Jingyan in her previous life. She didn’t even hesitate to break off her father-daughter relationship and not let her marry Zhou Jingyan. However, she was still married in the end. Her father was worried and gave her half of Yun Clan’s family assets as dowry. However, Zhou Jingyan soon wanted to leave these dowries.
In the end, the Yun Family’s assets were all squandered by Zhou Jingyan. When he successfully ascended to the throne as Emperor, he couldn’t wait to get rid of the Yun Family’s cancer.
Father refused to let her marry into the royal family in order to prevent her from falling victim to the royal struggle for the throne and prevent Yun Clan from being annihilated.
She suddenly remembered that the day before her father left the capital, she had only spoken a few words with her father, and her father had handed over the Yun Clan’s huge family business to her without worry.
The reason for this was not only because his words made his father look at him differently, but also because his father wanted him to enter the market. He should know more about the things in the court, listen more, think more, and if he knew more, he wouldn’t let himself go to a dead end.
It turned out that at that time, Daddy planned to use Yun Clan’s property in the capital to exchange for his knowledge of the Imperial Court.
The Yun Clan’s business in the capital was huge. Other than her father, no one knew better than her, and Yun Maozhe was actually willing to let her play like this.
Tears flashed in Yun Xiao’s eyes, but her eyes were unprecedentedly firm. “Daddy, don’t worry, daughter won’t marry into the royal family, never!”
She was also showing her determination and her final choice!
“Alright, get up!” Yun Maozhe helped Yun Xiao up and said, “In the future, our Yun Clan’s promising family business will be handed over to you. Daddy can rest assured.”
Yun Xiao picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. Only then did he say, “Daddy, money is all external possessions, Our Yun Clan finances are already enough for us to spend, I will work in the capital in the future, More caution is needed, Now, the fresh food that county magistrate Hui Ning had served, “Although I can temporarily attract Emperor’s attention, it won’t take long. Once this interest passes, I’m afraid that I’ll still be interested in Yun Clan. Besides, I’ve already heard Young Master Rong say that the Jin Emperor still favors Yun Clan in this Imperial Merchant Competition. However, this time, we need to think carefully about how we can lose the election.”
“What did you say? Your Majesty wants it?” Yun Maozhe’s expression became even gloomier. He hadn’t expected that the Jin Emperor was still thinking of the Yun Clan.
Yun Xiao nodded, Only then did he say, “Yes, Young Master Rong personally told me this, There’s no fake, “I will think of a way to lose the election. Daddy, don’t worry. Right now, the capital has county princess Huining and the Rong Clan’s shop. If my guess is correct, county princess Hui Ning will probably run for the position of the third prince’s imperial concubine. At that time, I will ask someone to help county princess Hui Ning obtain the title of imperial merchant.”
After being relieved by Yun Xiao’s words, Yun Maozhe felt relieved. “However, we can’t do it too clearly. Otherwise, attracting the Emperor’s suspicions will not be beneficial to our Yun Clan.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth lifted slightly. He said softly, “Daddy, don’t worry. Our daughter has already left a path for Yun Clan. This time, I asked Second Brother to leave the capital to do this. Although Second Brother is usually a bit stupid, he does things well. Besides, Second Brother has a good kung fu. I have also asked someone to help Second Brother. Second Brother will be fine this time. Daddy can rest assured.”
She knew that Yun Maozhe had always had doubts about this matter in his heart, so she decided to use this incident to speak out.
“Good! Xiaoxiao did a good job. Your second brother really needs to go through some training.” Even if he couldn’t complete Yun Xiao’s instructions, even if the Yun Clan didn’t have time to retreat in the future and all of them died in the capital, it could still be considered as leaving a single seedling for the Yun Clan.
“As long as Daddy trusts me, I can do business with Young Master Rong on medicinal ingredients. Even if our Yun Clan’s industry is destroyed in the future, with the shares of these pills, it will be enough for our Yun Clan to live a good life.” These are all Yun Xiao’s worst plans.
Although such a thing might not happen, it was always good to be prepared for a rainy day.
“That’s good.” Yun Maozhe was now more and more satisfied with his little daughter. He didn’t expect her to be so meticulous at such a young age.
However, Yun Maozhe suddenly remembered something, and his expression was a little guilty. “Xiaoxiao, what kind of husband do you want? Daddy will help you find out first.” Such a good daughter, even if she is unwilling to marry her, she still needs to find a good candidate. Otherwise, this good man will be snatched away by others in the future.
Yun Xiao chuckled, her face flushed with embarrassment for a moment. “Daughter doesn’t want to marry yet.”
“Daddy didn’t ask you to marry now. He just took out some money to find you.”
Yun Xiao’s eyebrows suddenly became slightly worried. “Daddy, let daughter think about this matter carefully. Daughter only wants to find a man who can spend her entire life with her daughter.”
Hearing these words, Yun Maozhe’s expression was somewhat gloomy. Back then, he had promised Mother Yun a lifetime of two people, but in the end, he married Madam Sun and made a good family look like it was now, causing his daughter to suffer grievances as well.
“Since Xiaoxiao has decided, Daddy won’t force you. However, if Xiaoxiao wants to recruit a son-in-law, Daddy will be even happier.” After Yun Maozhe finished speaking, he smiled and said, “Your Rose Courtyard is up ahead. Hurry up and enter.”
Yun Xiao did not expect that Yun Maozhe would actually say such a thing. The majority of people disdained men coming to be sons-in-law. Even if they were reluctant, they would not allow such a thing to happen at home. She did not expect that Yun Maozhe would actually agree to such a thing.
Yun Xiao bowed to Yun Maozhe and then turned around to leave. Then, she heard Yun Maozhe suddenly say behind her, “Xiao Xiao, Young Master Rong’s character is not bad. You should watch him carefully.”
Yun Xiao’s face lit up in an instant. She turned around and angrily said to Yun Maozhe, “Daddy!”
However, Yun Maozhe laughed heartily.
Yun Xiao quickened her pace, but she couldn’t help but feel a little sad in her heart.
Rong Jin had already left the capital. Even if she really had any thoughts about Rong Jin, she would still have to cut it off.
Yun Xiao walked quickly, thinking in her heart, she forgot to look at the road, and suddenly bumped into a person, hurriedly taking a step back.
Who would have thought that someone would kneel down in a hurry, respectfully and nervously said, “This servant greets the fourth young miss, and asks the fourth young miss to save her life! This servant will repay the fourth young miss for being a cow and a horse …”
