Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 292
Chapter 292 Don’t Marry
Time passed in the blink of an eye. Ever since Yun Xiao returned to the Yun Clan, she had been so busy that her feet did not touch the ground. Other than sleeping time, she was busy all the time.
The reason for that was because Yun Yang’s wedding day had already been set. It was the twenty-third day of the twelfth month, which was also the time of the Little Year. According to Yun Yao’s words, her last request was to marry Yun Yang.
In exchange, although she married into the Shen Clan with a flat wife, she was unwilling to host a banquet.
Even though Yun Yao was unwilling to host a banquet, she still had to arrange the Yun Clan to make up for her loss of face.
Not only that, but also the storage of the betrothal gifts from the Shen Clan and Yun Yao’s dowry had to be settled one by one. It was only because three days was too hasty.
Therefore, Yun Xiao couldn’t wait to break herself into two.
Although Yun Yao was once against Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao would not covet Yun Yao’s betrothal gift.
Therefore, Yun Xiao was still very attentive to this. Fortunately, with the help of Madam Lu, there wasn’t any big trouble.
But just as Yun Xiao was busy, Chun Mei walked in. These days, Chun Mei was temporarily assigned by Yun Xiao to help Yun Yao tidy up her things.
Chun Mei came in at this time. There must be something wrong.
“Greetings, young lady! Greetings, madam!” Chun Mei bowed to Lu shi and Yun Xiao and waited for Yun Xiao to speak before getting up.
At this moment, Yun Xiao whispered, “Why are you back?” Right now, Yun Xiao was so tired that she couldn’t even open her eyes. It was already nightfall, but tomorrow was Yun Yao’s wedding day. Therefore, Yun Xiao had no choice but to check tomorrow’s dowry on the last night.
Chun Mei’s face was filled with embarrassment. Looking at Yun Xiao’s expression, she couldn’t bear to say the next words.
Yun Xiao’s expression turned cold. Something big must have happened to Chun Mei’s expression. She only felt a headache. “Did something happen to Third Sister?”
Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Chun Mei bit her lips and said, “Back to Miss, Third Young Lady, ask this servant to pass on the message. She doesn’t want her dowry anymore and will add her dowry to the betrothal gift of the Eldest Young Master.”
When Yun Xiao heard this, she felt that her heart was filled with unconcealable anger.
She had only just finished all the dowry when she said she didn’t want it anymore. Was this tormenting her?
Yun Xiao tried her best to calm herself down. “The betrothal gifts of the eldest young master and the dowry of the third elder sister must be in accordance with the rules. If the third elder sister feels that the betrothal gifts of the eldest brother are insufficient, I can add more, but she can’t leave without the dowry.”
Without a dowry, the people outside definitely wouldn’t say anything about Yun Yao. Instead, they would say how she, the fourth young lady, was jealous of her own elder sister. Therefore, she would ruin the Yun Clan’s reputation in terms of dowry.
However, it was only 20,000 taels of silver, and her Yun Clan would not let anyone point at her nose and scold her because of this.
Chun Mei immediately said respectfully, “Young lady, Third Young Lady said that she has a dowry. Madam Sun has already prepared a dowry for her. She will definitely not embarrass the Yun Clan. Third Young Lady also said that if Miss wants to dowry her, she will not marry.”
Yun Xiao felt that it was strange. If a girl from another family got married, which one of them didn’t want more dowries! This dowry was their future capital and their own private property. She wanted to give it to them, but they didn’t want it anymore. This world made Yun Xiao somewhat unable to see it clearly.
However, since Yun Yao had said such things, what else could she say? He could only answer.
“Since she said so, then let’s do it like this.” For Yun Yao’s marriage, Yun Xiao was physically and mentally exhausted, so she could make trouble for Yun Yao. Moreover, since Madam Sun had prepared for Yun Yao’s dowry, she naturally wouldn’t be ill-prepared for her daughter.
“Go back and tell Third Sister that I will accept this matter. All of her dowry will be counted as my eldest brother’s betrothal gift,” Lan Shuya was afraid that seeing so many betrothal gifts this time would make her go crazy with joy.
Chun Mei answered and said, “Young lady, Third Young Lady also said that she would ask the young lady to give the order to carry all the big boxes that were originally used to carry her dowry into her courtyard. As for the things inside, she doesn’t want them anymore. As long as they are boxes.”
Yun Xiao waved her hand and replied, “You can do it.”
At this moment, Yun Xiao was somewhat confused as to what Yun Yao was thinking.
Therefore, Yun Xiao had no choice but to let her do as she pleased. As long as she didn’t do anything, everything would be easy to say.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao felt that she no longer needed to worry tonight. She said to Madam Lu, who was sitting opposite her, “Mother, you should rest early today. You’ll still be busy tomorrow.”
Madam Lu was a little worried, “Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong with Yao’er not wanting to marry her? Otherwise, you should go and keep an eye on her first. Don’t make any mistakes. Otherwise, our Yun Clan’s face will really stink in the capital at that time.”
Yun Xiao also felt that this matter was very strange, After bidding farewell to Madam Lu, she went to Yunyao’s courtyard. However, as soon as she reached the door, she was blocked by Chun Mei. “Miss, it’s not that this servant won’t let you into the courtyard. Rather, it’s that even this servant can’t enter right now. Third Young Lady is afraid that this servant will leak the secret, so she locked the courtyard door. This servant doesn’t know what Third Young Lady is going to do.”
Hearing Chun Mei’s words, Yun Xiao did not doubt Chun Mei’s loyalty to her. Instead, she became even more worried in her heart. What exactly did Yun Yao want to do?
For some reason, Yun Xiao always felt that a bad thought arose in her heart. Thinking back to what Yun Yao had done today, she naturally attributed this uneasiness to Yun Yao.
Seeing Yun Xiao’s serious expression, Qing Mo said, “Miss, how about this servant go in and take a look?” Such a wall could stop Yun Xiao and Chun Mei, but it could not stop her.
Yun Xiao shook her head. Since Yun Yao did not want to let her know, she would naturally respect her. However, what she wanted was for Yun Yao to give her an accurate head. She did not want anything to happen to Yun Clan.
Yun Yao said that Madam Sun had prepared a dowry for her. But now, Madam Sun still didn’t say anything in the courtyard. Even if Madam Sun had left the dowry for Yun Yao in the Yun Clan, she should have seen Yun Yao rummaging around for the dowry. But now, Yun Yao didn’t have to say anything about all the dowries she had bought for her. She only carried an empty box into her own courtyard. What could she have in her courtyard?
There must be something strange about this matter!
Yun Xiao signaled for Qing Mo to knock on the door. Not long after, Yun Yao, who was dressed in a happy dress, walked out.
Under the faint moonlight, Yun Yao was dressed in a bright red wedding dress. Because she was a flat wife, even if she married, she could wear a red dress. She was not a concubine’s pink dress. Layers of wedding clothes were embroidered with the embroidery patterns of the mandarin girls. Because she was in a hurry, Yun Yao did not have time to make her own wedding dress, so she took the wedding dress from the garment shop.
This wedding dress was personally made by Lady Su, so it was not inferior to what Yun Yao had personally made. On the contrary, because of Lady Su’s craftsmanship, this wedding dress was much more colorful, and Yun Yao, who wore this wedding dress, was even more astonishingly beautiful.
Yun Yao’s hair was not combed, and three thousand strands of green silk were hanging on her waist, giving her a different flavor.
When Yun Yao saw the expression on Yun Xiao’s face, the corner of her mouth slowly curled into a smile. However, there was no warmth in her eyes. “Fourth sister, do you think I’m beautiful?”
Yun Xiao nodded. Although Yun Yao’s appearance wasn’t as good as Lan Shuya’s before, she was still a rare beauty. She smiled and nodded. She took out a brocade box from her sleeve and handed it to Yun Yao. “Third sister is very beautiful. This is my makeup for third sister. Although third sister doesn’t want to be married to her, as a younger sister, I still need to give her makeup.”
Yun Yao put away the brocade box. Looking at the jade hairpin inside, Inlaid with a dove egg-sized luminous pearl, He knew that this jade hairpin was very valuable, The hatred in her heart towards Yun Xiao also gradually diminished. No one would have thought that the person who treated her so well would be Yun Xiao, whom she had always looked down on. “I like this makeup. It seems that fourth sister has also crippled her mind.” After she finished speaking, she raised her head and stared fixedly at Yun Xiao. Her voice was firm and her gaze was unusually persistent. “Fourth sister, don’t worry, I, Yun Yao, will definitely not do anything wrong to Yun Clan!”
With these words, Yun Xiao was relieved. Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Alright, third sister, go back and rest early tonight.”
She could not say congratulations, for the marriage had no happiness to speak of.
Yun Xiao slowly left with her maidservant and no longer said anything about the dowry. With Yun Yao’s words, she already knew that Yun Yao had already made plans for this matter.
Seeing Yun Xiao’s figure slowly leave, Yun Yao’s heart gradually became moist. She raised her voice and said, “Fourth sister, thank you!”
Even if you hate me and don’t like me anymore, you are willing to give me the last bit of dignity to marry that man.
Yun Xiao listened to that sentence, but there was no response. The hands beside her tightly clenched together.
She hated Yun Yao, but looking at how miserable Yun Yao was now, she couldn’t tell if she still hated her.
From Yun Yao’s current situation, she seemed to see herself in her previous life. She was alone and no one was helping her. But now, it was different. As long as she wanted, she could help Yun Yao. Now, marrying Shen Yingfan was what she wanted. She fulfilled her wish and gave her a decent face.
Even if something happened in the future, Yun Xiao would not regret it.
Yun Xiao suddenly took large strides forward. She only felt very irritated in her heart. The inexplicable irritation made her breathing a little stiff. It was as if only by letting herself relax like this would she feel that she was still a living person.
After Yun Xiao walked quickly, Qing Mo immediately chased after them. After the two of them left, a pigeon suddenly landed where Yun Xiao had just passed.
The pigeon called out a few times and looked back and forth. It seemed to be confused as it walked into the distance and gradually disappeared into the night.
After Yun Xiao quickly returned to her courtyard, she quickly entered her room. She was so annoyed that she lay on the bed and flipped back and forth a few times, but she did not feel sleepy at all. In the end, she could only get up from the bed and walk to the side of the table. She held a book and came out to read. Only then did her annoyed mood gradually calm down …
