Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 279

Chapter 279 Go Back to the Mansion
After Yun Xiao returned to the Cloud Manor, she had someone send Zhou Jingxu back to the manor. Only then did she return to the manor. As soon as she stepped into the Cloud Manor’s gate, she asked Butler Li, who was beside her, “Has Daddy woken up during my absence?”

Butler Li immediately said respectfully, “Master is still unconscious. However, Madam and the doctor have been keeping watch. The doctor said that Master will wake up soon.”

However, these words were pleasant to hear. As long as one did not wake up, no one dared to relax.

Yun Xiao frowned as she looked at Butler Li. A trace of worry appeared in her heart. She continued to ask, “What happened in the manor during this period of time?”

“Report to Fourth Young Lady. After Fourth Young Lady left, Second Madame sent someone to Madam’s room. However, this servant stopped her. Besides, Third Young Lady still refused to eat. Old Madame forced him to give her medicine. She was losing her temper in the courtyard and said that Fourth Young Lady should go see her.” When Steward Li said these words, his waist had always been bent down, and he did not dare to straighten up. The Yun Clan was truly troubled now.

In the end, at this critical juncture, the Yun Clan’s masters continued to cause trouble. The only one who could come out to take charge was the Yun Clan’s Young Niang Clan. If such words were spoken, the Yun Clan would be ridiculed by others.

However, they were more servants and could not question their master.

After hearing this, Yun Xiao’s elegant little face became slightly tired. She reached out to rub the space between her eyebrows and said, “I know. I’ve troubled Steward Li today. My mother hasn’t eaten yet, has she?”

“No, this servant sent someone to bring food to Madam, but Madam refused to eat. She said that she would not have an appetite to eat until Master wakes up.” Butler Li felt a headache when he remembered all these troublesome things.

“Alright, I understand. Go and ask the kitchen to make some light dishes. Also, warm up the medicinal food for father.” Yun Xiao arranged it in an orderly manner. After seeing Butler Li leave, she let out a deep sigh.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s exhausted expression and slightly pale face, Chun Lan carefully put away the painting in her hand and said nervously, “Young lady, why don’t you go back and rest first? Young lady’s body is still injured.”

Yun Xiao shook her head and said to Chun Lan, “Send this painting to my room first. I’ll go to the main courtyard to see mother and father first.” Madam Lu’s body had never been very good. In addition, Yun Xiao would often recall the scene of Madam Lu’s weak body in her previous life, where she needed someone to support her every step.

Mother’s body must be properly recuperated. It’s already past lunch time, so it’s impossible not to eat.

Chun Lan still wanted to persuade him, but when she reached the edge of her mouth, she was swallowed.

Chun Lan bowed to Yun Xiao and took Hua back to the courtyard first.

Yun Xiao also brought Qing Mo to Madam Lu’s courtyard. Just as she reached the courtyard entrance, she saw a small figure blocking the front of the courtyard. The small figure was indescribably tired and painful.

Brother Han heard footsteps coming. He looked up and saw Yun Xiao and the others walking over. He was pleasantly surprised and immediately ran over. He smiled and said, “Fourth sister, you’re finally back!”

Yun Xiao lowered her head and looked at Brother Han’s excited expression as she hugged her calf. Her expression couldn’t help but become gentle. Her small hands stroked Brother Han’s face twice. When she saw two shallow tears on Brother Han’s face, she frowned and softly said, “Brother Han, obedient, why are you crying?”

Who knew that when Brother Han heard Yun Xiao’s gentle voice, her soft and waxy little face instantly became frightened.

Brother Han took a step away from Yun Xiao and secretly looked at Yun Xiao’s expression with his eyes. He said guiltily, “Fourth sister, Brother Han is useless. Brother Han didn’t protect her mother properly, so she didn’t want to eat.”

Looking at Brother Han’s appearance, Yun Xiao felt heartache and amusement. She grabbed Brother Han’s small hand and whispered, “It doesn’t matter. Brother Han has already done very well. Come, go in with Fourth Sister. Let’s properly persuade Mother to let Mother eat.”

Brother Han heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Yun Xiao really didn’t want to blame her.

Yun Xiao held Brother Han’s small hand and quickly walked into the courtyard. Along the way, a maidservant kept saluting them. Yun Xiao only nodded and entered the room.

In the room, it was so quiet that it didn’t seem to be able to feel any vitality. Only the faint smell of herbs drifted from the inner room.

Yun Xiao frowned and quickly walked into the inner room. She saw that there were only two people in the inner room. The two of them sat down and slept together. If it weren’t for the pale faces of the two of them, it would have been an extremely warm scene.

Yun Maozhe lay on the bed with a pale complexion. His thin lips were tightly pursed together. His eyes were tightly closed, and he had no intention of waking up. Madam Lu carefully sat aside, holding onto Yun Maozhe’s hand. She looked worried as she saw the person lying on the bed.

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiao finally felt relieved. Although his father’s face was slightly pale, it was enough to tell that his fever had subsided and did not start again.

“Mother,” Yun Xiao, who had put down her worries, shouted loudly at Madam Lu, who was sitting beside the bed.

Madam Lu heard this familiar voice and immediately turned around. When she saw Yun Xiao’s figure, she immediately laughed, “Xiao Xiao, you’re finally back.” Her daughter had not returned for so long, Madam Lu was deeply afraid that the Jin Emperor would not let her leave the palace.

With her previous experience, Madam Lu felt that such a thing could really happen.

Madam Lu carefully placed Yun Maozhe’s hand under the quilt. However, when she stood up, because she had been sitting in a position for a long time, there would be a burst of numbness coming from her legs. Madam Lu was caught off guard and almost fell down.

Fortunately, Yun Xiao quickly took a few steps and supported Madam Lu’s hand. “Mother, I won’t be so happy to see my daughter.”

Madam Lu’s face turned pale for an instant. She whispered, “You, you’re already preaching to mother.” Madam Lu sized up Yun Xiao’s body and looked at the exhaustion and dust on her face. She felt heartache in her heart. “These past two days, I’ve made Xiao Xiao suffer.”

Yun Xiao shook her head, “No, I’m fine. Mother, don’t worry. How’s father?”

Madam Lu raised her head and looked at Yun Maozhe, who was lying on the bed not far away. “Your father hasn’t woken up yet. The doctor said that he should have woken up as well, but he hasn’t woken up yet. My heart is in turmoil.”

Yun Xiao picked up the handkerchief, She wiped away the tears at the corner of Madam Lu’s eyes. Only then did he say, “Mother, don’t worry. Daddy has his own good fortune. Maybe he’ll wake up soon. Besides, I haven’t had a good rest since my father went to the capital last time. I can take advantage of this opportunity to recuperate. Daddy is just tired. I don’t need to worry if I want to sleep a little longer.” Although Yun Xiao’s heart is also anxious, But she can stay calm.

Since Yun Maozhe had already recovered from his fever, it was only a matter of time before he woke up.

After listening to Yun Xiao’s advice, Madam Lu felt that it was reasonable, and her worries disappeared a little, and her face also showed a trace of joy.

When Yun Xiao saw this, she smiled and said, “I heard that Mother is so late and hasn’t eaten lunch yet. Is that true?”

‘”No, I’ve already eaten.” Madam Lu looked at Brother Han reproachfully, but Brother Han did not have the slightest bit of guilt on her face. She raised her pink and tender little face and smiled.

Seeing Madam Lu like this, Yun Xiao’s expression became a little gentler, but she couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. With Mother’s current temperament, how could she manage such a big and small thing like the Yun Clan?

Coincidentally, at this time, Yun Xiao’s stomach cried out twice. Yun Xiao immediately said, “Since mother said that she had eaten, then she has eaten. However, now that I’m hungry, how about mother accompany me to eat some more food?” Since Madam Lu was unwilling to admit it, Yun Xiao naturally would not force Madam Lu.

Mrs. Lu listened to Yun Xiao’s words and felt waves of warmth rise in her heart. She first looked back at Yun Maozhe, then at Yun Xiao, and finally nodded, “Alright.”

Brother Han heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Madam Lu’s agreement. “Fourth sister is the only one who can do it again,” muttered Xiao Sheng.

Yun Xiao rubbed Brother Han’s hair, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. “Brother Han also accompanied Fourth Sister to dinner.”

After he finished speaking, Steward Li’s voice sounded from outside, “Fourth Young Lady, lunch is ready. Do you want to bring it in now?”

“Bring it in.” With Yunxiao’s words, Housekeeper Li brought people in with food boxes and arranged the meals before retreating.

Yun Xiao and the others walked out of the inner room together and saw four dishes and one soup placed on the table. They were all extremely light and prepared very quickly. Yun Xiao was extremely satisfied with this.

The three of them ate together. When Yunxiao saw that the three of them were almost done with their meals, she asked softly, “Mother, what did you think about what I told you before I left today?”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s question, a trace of unnaturalness suddenly appeared on Madam Lu’s face. “What is Xiao Xiao talking about?”

When Yun Xiao heard this, she sighed in her heart. Then she said, “About my cousin.”

Madam Lu’s face turned pale, and her expression was somewhat hesitant. “I’ve forgotten about your father’s body in my memorandum today.”

Yun Xiao answered and said, “It’s fine. This matter is not urgent. I’m just curious. Mother, hurry up and eat.”

Lu shi graciously said, feeling that she was sorry for Yun Xiao, so she kept picking up food from Yun Xiao’s bowl.

At this moment, a very small voice suddenly came from the inner room, “Water …”

When Yun Xiao heard this voice, she immediately put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand and said happily, “Mother, father is awake.”

Madam Lu also heard it. She didn’t need to continue eating anymore. She threw the dishes away and hurriedly ran to the inner room.

Behind them, Yun Xiao and Brother Han also threw away the bowls and chopsticks in their hands and chased after them.

Sure enough, Yun Maozhe unconsciously kept talking about water.

Yun Xiao immediately walked to the table and poured a glass of water. As she walked, she did not forget to say to Brother Han, “Brother Han, hurry up and call the doctor.”

Without hesitation, Brother Han immediately ran out.

Madam Lu took the quilt that Yun Xiao had handed over and gathered her strength to feed Yun Maozhe with water. After that, she saw that Yun Maozhe had regained consciousness.

Mrs. Lu was pleasantly surprised. Seeing that Yun Maozhe had finally woken up, tears could not help but flow out from the corner of her eyes. She lay on Yun Maozhe and cried hard, “Master, you’re finally awake …”

When Yun Xiao saw this scene, a faint joy rose in her heart. Yun Maozhe also reached out and patted Madam Lu’s shoulder.

Yun Xiao quietly walked out and left this small world to her parents. When she arrived at the door, she happened to see Brother Han walking over with the doctor. Brother Han looked at Yun Xiao with a puzzled expression and asked, “Fourth sister, why did you come out?”

Yun Xiao coughed lightly and stood in front of him, saying, “Let’s go in later.”

Brother Han didn’t know why, but he didn’t want to refute Fourth Sister’s words and immediately nodded.

At this moment, Yun Xiao heard a loud noise coming from the courtyard entrance. Her slender eyebrows furrowed tightly. She slowly walked through the entrance and looked at the people who had come, “What’s going on?”
