Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 294

Chapter 294 Something Happened to the Dowry
The faces of everyone in the room suddenly turned ugly when they heard about the dowry.

From the beginning to the end, they did not know what this dowry was. Now that it was mentioned, everyone couldn’t help but feel worried. Did something go wrong with it?

The bad thoughts in Yun Xiao’s heart finally surfaced again, and she anxiously said, “What happened to the dowry?”

Butler Li’s expression was also extremely embarrassed. He said anxiously, “When the servant was carrying the dowry, he discovered that it was not a treasure. It was actually a big rock. What should Fourth Young Lady do now?”

Hearing that, Yun Xiao’s expression became even more embarrassed.

And Yun Maozhe had already slapped the table and said, “What exactly is going on?”

Yun Xiao also felt that this matter was exceptionally wrong, but looking at Yun Maozhe’s dark face, she immediately comforted him, “Daddy, don’t be angry. I’ll go out and take a look. Daddy will wait for news here first.”

Let’s go to Yun Maozhe’s state first. If he goes out and sees that the dowry in the box is actually a big rock, he will definitely get angry. At that time, the news will be completely unsuppressible. At that time, Yun Clan will have no place to put his face.

Madam Lu did not know why the dowry had turned into stone, but she trusted her daughter and said, “Master, if you go out now, everyone will definitely be watching you. Moreover, Master’s temper will definitely not let this matter happen. However, Xiaoxiao is different. Xiaoxiao’s legs are convenient and she walks quickly. Replacing those big stones, presumably no one will notice.”

Yun Xiao gave Madam Lu a grateful look, but Yun Maozhe hesitated a little. He looked at Yun Xiao and sighed, “Since that’s the case, Xiao Xiao, hurry up and go over.”

At this moment, Yun Xiao felt bitter in her heart. If something really happened to the dowry, everyone would suspect her. However, if she did not come forward to settle this matter, it would probably damage her reputation.

Yun Xiao, Housekeeper Li, and Qing Mo Chun Lan hurriedly ran out. However, Housekeeper Li had trotted in before. His legs and feet were tired and he walked very slowly. Yun Xiao said to Qing Mo, “Qing Mo, take me there first.”

Walking over like this was time-consuming and laborious. Qing Mo’s martial arts were extremely high, and he could save quite a bit of time by bringing himself over with his qinggong.

Qing Mo did not refuse and immediately replied, “Alright!”

Qing Mo picked up Yun Xiao and the two of them rushed to the front courtyard as fast as they could. Sure enough, they saw a big rock in a box that had been knocked over.

Yun Xiao’s expression was cold and gloomy. She immediately instructed people to open the other five boxes. Without exception, she saw ten boxes inside. There were also some large and small disobedience, and some with bricks placed on them.

When Yun Xiao saw this, her face turned pale. What exactly did Yun Yao want to do?

She said that she would not be allowed to take care of it, but now that such a dowry had taken place, where would the Yun Clan’s reputation be at that time?

Yun Xiao immediately asked the person in charge of the dowry, and said loudly, “Is this all the dowry now?”

The person in charge was so anxious to cry. If one of them hadn’t accidentally knocked the box over, they would have opened the box because they were afraid that the dowry inside would be damaged. Who would have known that they would have seen a big rock?

If the fourth girl said that they had lost their dowry, At that time, they couldn’t even find a place to cry, so they could only stutter honestly, “Fourth Young Lady, all the dowry was carried away. No one knows what was inside. Now, the servants of the Shen Clan have been urging us to carry the dowry out. What if we carry such a big rock out and are discovered?”

Yun Xiao’s eyes knitted tightly. She looked at the courtyard and saw that there was no substitute. Her slender eyebrows were tightly locked together. Even if she moved all the stones out, there would still be traces. At that time, someone would definitely say that the big box had been moved.

She remembered Yun Yao’s words yesterday. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She seemed to understand something and immediately said, “Qing Mo, lock all the boxes.”

Qing Mo didn’t doubt Yun Xiao’s words, but the person in charge seemed to have something to say, but he still swallowed it in the end.

Yun Xiao glared at him angrily and said sternly, “Today, you didn’t overthrow the dowry, and you didn’t see what was inside. Do you understand?”

The person in charge of carrying the dowry immediately said, “Yes, Fourth Young Lady.”

Yun Xiao waved her hand. Once again, when someone came to urge the dowry, Yun Xiao asked these people to carry away all the big boxes of the dowry.

After all the dowries were carried out, Butler Li and Chun Lan’s figures arrived. They respectfully said, “Fourth Miss, how are the dowries being handled now?”

“It’s already been dealt with. Butler Li, don’t worry.” Yun Xiao comforted her, turned around and walked out. Qing Mo immediately followed behind her.

After Yun Xiao returned to the main courtyard, Madam Lu and Yun Maozhe nervously asked, “Xiao Xiao, how did you handle the matter?”

“Mother, are you still worried about my work?” Yun Xiao scolded and sat beside Madam Lu. She smiled and said, “Mother, don’t ask about anything else. Let’s watch a good show tomorrow.”

Madam Lu and Yun Maozhe exchanged glances and saw a trace of inquiry in each other’s eyes. Seeing that Yun Xiao did not say anything, they no longer asked.

After a tiring day, Yun Xiao did not want to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to the two of them, she told Brother Han a few more words before returning to her own courtyard.

It wasn’t until this moment, these few days, that Yun Xiao truly had a good rest.

Just as she was free, Yun Xiao felt a little uncomfortable. She called for the maidservant to prepare a water bath to relax her body.

Soon, the water was ready. When Yun Xiao took off her clothes, a small purse suddenly fell out of her cuff.

Chun Lan curiously picked up the small purse and looked at Yun Xiao curiously, “Miss, what is this thing?”

She was by the girl’s side every day, and she had never seen her carrying such a purse.

Yun Xiao looked at the purse and suddenly remembered that before Yun Yao got married, she had given herself something. At that time, she had not had time to look at it. She hurriedly hid it in her sleeves. Later, when there was something wrong with the dowry, Yun Xiao completely forgot about it. She did not expect that the purse would come out again.

Yun Xiao took the purse and carefully removed it. Then, she found a piece of paper inside and opened it. Yun Xiao saw a strong and powerful word on it. There were only two words on it, but these two words made Yun Xiao feel that it was difficult to breathe.

Nian Xiao? Are you talking about her?

This word was obviously not Yun Yao’s. Yun Yao had written a plum blossom letter in her hand. This word was obviously a man’s.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered that when she was in the main courtyard, Brother Han had once said that Rong Ruo had given her a letter about herself and her father?

Could it be these two words?

Yun Xiao’s expression was moved for a moment. She put on her outer robe and burned the earth dragon in the room. She did not feel cold either.

After searching for a while, she finally found a prescription. This prescription was given to her by Rong Jin. Compared to the words on it, she didn’t expect it to be exactly the same as the words on it.

Thinking of this, a trace of sweetness appeared in Yun Xiao’s heart. All of her previous resentment towards Rong Jin had disappeared.

However, Yun Xiao’s expression immediately darkened. Since that was the case, then why did he have to go back then? Before she left, she didn’t say a word to him and didn’t give him a single letter. If she wasn’t wrong about this letter, Rong Ruo had purposely stolen it, right?

Since he didn’t care about him anymore, why would he miss him so much?

Yun Xiao threw the letter into the charcoal fire. Seeing the letter turn into ashes, Yun Xiao’s expression was inexplicable and she was somewhat at a loss.

However, a trace of determination immediately appeared in Yun Xiao’s eyes.

Yun Xiao removed her robes and entered the bath tub. She lay in the bath soup. The warm aura surrounded her and she unconsciously heaved a sigh of relief.

Because the water was too comfortable, Yun Xiao actually lay in the bath soup and unknowingly fell asleep.

Even Qing Mo and Chun Lan came in, wiped the water off her body, and carried her to the bed without knowing.

Yun Xiao slept soundly this time. She felt as if she was in a fog, but no matter how hard she beat her, she couldn’t get out.

Suddenly, he felt a suffocating sensation on his chest. He struggled to breathe in large mouthfuls of fresh air. His expression was cold. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stared blankly at the mosquito net above his head.

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open. Chun Lan carefully walked in. She wanted to see if Yun Xiao was awake, but she didn’t expect that she would see Yun Xiao open her eyes wide. She hurriedly walked forward and whispered, “Young lady, you’re awake.”

Yun Xiao took the handkerchief from Chun Lan’s hand and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She saw Chun Lan’s gloomy expression, “What’s going on? What happened in the manor?”

Chun Lan shook her head. Seeing that Yun Xiao was staring at her, she said, “Something happened to Third Aunt.”

“Third aunt?” Yun Xiao had been chanting this person’s name for a while, but she did not react to Yun Yao’s words.

Chun Lan immediately said, “It’s Third Young Lady, The specific servant was also unclear, She said that there was a problem with the dowry of the third young miss, Therefore, the third aunt was the Shen Clan who was clamoring for the Shen Clan to return her dowry, However, the Shen family said that they did not take her dowry, He quarreled endlessly for a moment, The Shen Clan came to our Yun Clan to get married, He said that our Yun Clan is greedy for Third Aunt’s dowry, “No one has been kicked out by Madam. Madam did not allow such a person to enter. However, the people from the Shen Clan seem to be blocking our door. Madam had them close the door. The people from the Shen Clan really bullied us too much. They took over Third Aunt’s dowry and even framed our Yun Clan.”

After Yun Xiao heard Chun Lan’s hand, she stiffened slightly when she wanted to stand up.

The questions in her heart were finally answered. So this was why Yun Yao wanted to buy her own dowry, and why it was a big stone in the previous dowry. Yunxiao finally understood the reason.

However, what surprised Yun Xiao was that she did not expect that this day would actually start to stir up trouble in the Shen Clan before it even passed. She still used such a crime.

Yun Yao was truly worthy of being called Yun Yao.

In her previous life, Yun Yao had been eaten to death by Madam Shen. In this life, she wanted to see which one of them was better, Madam Shen or Yun Yao.

Therefore, at this moment, Yun Xiao’s mood was extremely good. “Since Third Sister and the Shen Clan are at odds, then Third Sister can give the Shen Clan’s Eldest Young Master an antidote?” Previously, she had given the antidote to Yun Yao before she got married. As for whether Yun Yao was willing to take the antidote to save her, that sentence had nothing to do with her.

Chun Lan shook her head, “This servant doesn’t know. Miss, should we go to the front yard to take a look now?”

Yun Xiao shook her head, and the corner of her mouth slowly curled into a light smile. “No need, but please notify us and open the door of our Yun Clan. Also, go to the capital governor’s mansion to invite some officials and soldiers over. If those people are making a ruckus, please arrest them on the charge of trespassing.” He had been closing the door all this time, and if he was seen by passers-by, he would definitely think that the Yun Clan had a guilty conscience, so he didn’t dare to meet anyone.

Hearing that, Chun Lan’s eyes lit up. “Miss, you have a good idea. This servant will go now.”
