Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 29
Chapter 029 Set A Trap
This scene happened too quickly. Everyone stared blankly at the changes in the field and sucked in a breath of cold air.
It wasn’t until a muffled “save my life” sound came that everyone woke up from their dreams.
Then, Madam Lu’s voice sounded, “Xiaoxiao!” Before he could think about it, he had already run out of his seat.
The two granny behind her finally reacted. She quickly stepped forward and pulled Lan Shuya up. However, the strength in her hand was very heavy. She took advantage of the gap that Lan Shuya did not pay attention to and pinched her fiercely.
The Eldest Princess praised the sculpture that Fourth Young Lady Yun personally made. Obviously, she liked it very much. Now, she was knocked over by such a concubine daughter of the Lan family. The Eldest Princess could not punish Second Young Lady Lan, but she would definitely transfer her anger to these servants.
He simply took advantage of this opportunity to take revenge and didn’t show any mercy.
After all, they had stayed in the Princess’ Mansion for a long time, so they were naturally familiar with these methods. Their attacks were extremely secret and would not be discovered.
‘”Aiyo” Lan Shuya felt the two granny who helped her up pinch herself. Her watery eyes were stained with tears. She wanted to reprimand her. She wished she could slap the two slaves to death, but she still endured the remaining rationality in the end.
Just as Lan Shuya was pulled up, she immediately knelt down. Her face was pale from fear or pain. “Eldest Princess, please spare me.”
On one side, Yun Xiao’s body was full of broken limbs and bones from the tray of chrysanthemum trees. Her face was also smashed by a corner of the tray. Her face was painful. The corner of her eyes flashed as she saw the two nanny’s hands and feet on Lan Shuya’s body.
Madam Lu had already run over and swept the fruits and vegetables off Yun Xiao’s body. She looked at her worriedly, “Xiao Xiao, how are you?”
Yun Xiao looked at Madam Lu who had already run over. Her face was pale and she buried her head in Madam Lu’s embrace. Suddenly, she woke up and immediately knelt down in panic. “Eldest Princess, forgive me, County Lord Hui Ning.”
She used forgiveness, not forgiveness. The two words had very different meanings.
Madam Lu also realized that her behavior was a little too orderly. Her face turned pale and she anxiously knelt down. “Eldest Princess, forgive me, county princess Hui Ning, forgive me.” The other two nanny also knelt down anxiously.
The Eldest Princess frowned as she looked at the few people who were kneeling not far away. She frowned invisibly. Today was her daughter’s birthday. It would be disgraceful for such a thing to happen. “What exactly happened?”
Yun Xiao looked at Lan Shuya with a corner of her eyes. Seeing that Lan Shuya was about to speak, she said in fear, “Today’s matter is all the fault of the commoner. It was the commoner’s words that caused her cousin to be distracted. It was her cousin who accidentally knocked over the tray. The eldest prince’s main punishment was to punish the commoner alone. This matter has nothing to do with her.”
Seeing that Madam Lu was about to speak, Yun Xiao immediately grabbed Madam Lu’s sleeve quietly. The two of them were extremely close to each other, so this small action would not attract attention.
However, in the end, someone in the banquet hall noticed Yun Xiao’s small movements. Her pair of phoenix eyes hooked up slightly and she calmly reached out to lift the teacup in front of her. She took a shallow taste and concealed the interest in the depths of her eyes.
From his point of view, he could only see the girl’s pale side face, her long eyelashes slightly hanging down, occasionally stirring up a few times, the corners of her lips tightly pursed, her expression extremely uneasy.
However, he could tell that this was just a show by that woman. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to go around and see all of that woman’s emotions.
Although he was a proton, he was also the second prince of Country of Xiyue, so he was naturally seated with the two princes of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Zhou Chongyu’s eyes lit up, and his gaze towards Lan Shuya was slightly stunned.
However, at this moment, he wanted to see what the youth wanted to do. He put down the teacup in his hand as if he had just taken a sip of tea.
The Eldest Princess was not sure if Yun Xiao was speaking, but the two nanny behind her knew about it. She snorted coldly in displeasure, “You two tell the truth. If there is any concealment, this princess will not let it go lightly.”
When Lan Shuya heard Yun Xiao’s words, she was still a little happy. She wished that Yun Xiao would take all the blame on her.
However, when they heard those two slaves’ words, they wished they could rush forward and beat the two slaves so hard that they could no longer speak.
‘”Eldest Princess, just as we walked over, Second Miss Lan’s eyes were erratic and her footsteps were unsteady. Fourth Miss Yun reminded Second Miss Lan not to destroy this plate. However, just as Fourth Miss Yun reminded Second Miss Lan, something like this happened.” Nanny’s voice carried a hint of terror, but she still told the story.
In this way, Lan Shuya sat down and confirmed the fact that Lan Shuya had deliberately knocked over the tray because she was unhappy in her heart.
Madam Lu did not expect that things would turn out like this. She looked at Lan Shuya in surprise. She did not expect that Lan Shuya wanted to harm her daughter.
The Eldest Princess’s eyebrows narrowed slightly, and the displeasure in her eyes became even greater. “Miss Lan, what else do you have to say?”
County princess Huining, on the other hand, looked at the two women kneeling on the ground in a leisurely manner. She did not know what she was thinking and did not take back her gaze from the two of them for a long time.
Such a thing shouldn’t have happened, but it really happened in front of him.
Lan Shuya hurriedly said, “Eldest Princess, forgive me. The commoner has no intention of disrespecting the eldest princess and county princess Hui Ning. Someone is deliberately trying to frame the commoner.”
At that time, only Lan Shuya and Yun Xiao were there. Naturally, Lan Shuya could not say that the people from the Princess’ Mansion had framed her, so the person who framed her could only be Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao and Madam Lu looked over in surprise, their eyes clearly carrying a trace of disbelief. They never expected their beloved nieces and cousins to say such words in order to get off the hook.
A cold light flashed in the depths of Yun Xiao’s eyes. After her previous life, she was not prepared to trust Lan Shuya. Now, she was just forcing Lan Shuya to reveal her true colors. After this incident, Madam Lu must have been on guard against Lan Shuya. She would no longer trust her niece as much as before.
Since you want to make a name for yourself by borrowing me, I don’t mind helping you and making you more famous.
Yun Xiao lowered her eyebrows and covered the corner of her mouth with a bitter smile. She said with a faint heartache, “Cousin, I have always treated you well. Today’s matter has already been taken care of by me. Do you still want to say that I framed you? Could it be that you really hated me because I didn’t buy you a dress for the banquet a few days ago, so you pushed such a thing on me?”
When the people at the banquet heard this, they all looked at Lan Shuya with disdain. The daughter of a concubine was the daughter of a concubine, so they couldn’t stand on the stage!
Lan Shuya’s face was ashen. Her face that had not come was stunned for a moment. She never thought that Yun Xiao would tell her about it.
Sensing everyone’s disdainful gaze, Lan Shuya quickly calmed herself down and straightened things out. Her watery eyes looked pitifully at Yun Xiao and explained anxiously, “Cousin, I didn’t ask you to buy clothes.” She turned to look at the displeased Eldest Princess. “Eldest Princess, County Lord Hui Ning, I said the wrong thing today. I didn’t mean to knock over the tray. I beg the Eldest Princess to punish me.”
Even though she said that, the hands on both sides were tightly clenched together. Now, it could only be reduced to a small matter. As long as her reputation was still there, when she married the prince in the future, it would definitely make Yun Xiao look good!
But now, she wasn’t favored by the Lan Clan, so she had to rely on the Yun Clan.
Yun Xiao sneered in a corner that no one could see, innocent gazes swept past Lan Shuya, “Cousin, today is cousin wrong, I shouldn’t have talked to you, That’s why this is happening, “It’s just that I really ran out of money at that time. That’s why the Third Prince wanted to buy a suit of clothes. Afterwards, I sent a maid to wait in Yunlai Restaurant for a few days to return the money to the Third Prince. However, the Third Prince refused to accept the money. If I knew what would happen today, I would definitely buy a suit of clothes for my cousin.”
Everyone looked at Third Prince Zhou Jingyan, who was sitting on the side. They didn’t expect that such a thing would happen today.
Zhou Jingyan looked at Yun Xiao with a gloomy gaze. He didn’t expect that he would be schemed by someone he didn’t think highly of. He only felt that his heart was suffocating, but he had no choice but to answer, “There is indeed a time when I didn’t buy clothes. Naturally, I can’t accept the money of the fourth girl.”
Everyone looked at Lan Shuya as if they were watching a good show. Now, with the Third Prince, Lan Shuya would be speechless today.
Lan Shuya gritted her teeth in hatred. Before she could say anything, Madam Lan saw that the Eldest Princess was angry. Yun Xiao’s words were getting more and more unpleasant to hear. They were all related to the Prince. She could no longer ignore them. She hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down respectfully. “Please forgive me, Eldest Princess. Shu Ya did not mean to ruin County Lord Hui Ning’s birthday banquet. I hope that the Eldest Princess will investigate carefully. I will definitely bring Shu Ya back to discipline.”
After saying that, she glared at Lan Shuya fiercely. With her beautiful face, she did not put herself in her eyes. Now that something had happened, she had to clean up the mess herself.
Sure enough, she was a careless daughter! We’ll deal with her when we get back!
‘”Auntie, Second Young Miss has no reason to ruin Hui Ning’s birthday banquet. She didn’t mean to do so. I’m afraid there’s something hidden about this matter. Please investigate it carefully. But since today is Cousin Hui Ning’s birthday banquet, don’t take such a trivial matter to heart. Cousin Hui Ning’s birthday banquet is important.”
Everyone didn’t expect that at this time, the Fifth Prince, Zhou Chongyu, would intercede for Lan Shuya. The Fifth Prince’s words clearly pointed out the current priorities. He did not say anything to exonerate Lan Shuya, but instead, Dongliu pushed the matter onto Yun Xiao.
When Lan Shuya heard this, she looked up in surprise. Shui Run’s eyes seemed to be able to speak as she spoke of her grievances.
A sparkling tear filled the corner of his eyes and rolled in his eyes. In the end, he swallowed it back into his eyes. His pitiful state made people feel pity for him unconsciously.
