Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 30

Chapter 030 Secret Talk in the Room
None of them expected that such a mystery would come out from this matter of knocking over something.

Many people were wondering if Second Miss Lan was a concubine girl, but Madam Lan did not buy clothes for her. She asked her cousin, who was born in the Emperor Shang Clan, to buy clothes. However, she failed. That was why she deliberately knocked over the sculpture, causing her cousin to lose face.

This kind of secret made everyone very interested. However, this was the birthday celebration for county princess Huining, and it also involved the two princes. This matter was somewhat unusual.

The Eldest Princess looked at the two girls kneeling on the ground with a gloomy expression. Her gaze fell on Zhou Jingyan and Zhou Chongyu. After a long time, she said, “Forget it, today is Hui Ning’s birthday. Don’t let this trivial matter disappoint you.”

However, the moment the Eldest Princess finished speaking, County Lord Hui Ning’s voice sounded softly. “This matter is over. Someone, only the clothes on the fourth and second girls need to be changed. Do you have any spare clothes with you?”

When Yun Xiao saw Zhou Chongyu intercede, she already knew the result. Lan Shuya’s face was really unharmed.

However, Yun Xiao’s goal was only to expose Lan Shuya’s true colors, which made Madam Lu wary, and at the same time buried a time bomb in these nobles.

Yun Xiao’s expression was respectful as she faced each other calmly and respectfully replied, “The maiden naturally brought her clothes. She just wanted to borrow a room in the Princess’ Mansion.”

When Lan Shuya saw Yun Xiao talking so confidently, she frowned slightly. Her hands on both sides were tightly clenched together. The pain from her fingernails made her wake up a little. She looked at the girl beside her with a gloomy expression. She never expected that Yun Xiao, whom she had always looked down on, would be so clever.

County Lord Hui Ning’s eyes fell on Yun Xiao’s body. His expression was uncertain, and there was a hint of mockery in his eyes. “No problem. Someone, bring the two girls down and change clothes.”

Rong Jin looked at the two figures who had left in the distance. His gaze was fixed on that stubborn person. Who would have thought that she would be able to judge the situation and trade a sculpture for Lan Shuya’s reputation? It’s a good deal.

Chun Mei’s speed was extremely fast, and she quickly returned with two sets of clothes. At this time, Yun Xiao and Lan Shuya had also arrived in the wing room.

Yun Xiao handed the top layer of clothes to Lan Shuya from Chun Mei with an extremely honest expression. “Cousin, since you don’t have any spare clothes, why don’t you wear this one of mine first? Although I’ve worn it once, it’s better than wearing dirty clothes like ours, right?”

She would rather wear her dirty clothes than wear Yun Xiao’s!

Lan Shuya’s face turned green and white. The banquet was still going on. How could she appear in front of everyone in such dirty clothes? Moreover, there were two princes at this banquet! As for Rong Jin, he was directly ignored by Lan Shuya.

There was a faint smile on his face and a hint of gratitude. However, there was an unconcealable hatred in the depths of his eyes. “Thank you, cousin.”

Yun Xiao naturally looked at the endurance in the depths of Lan Shuya’s eyes in her heart. She smiled and said, “We are cousins. Why are you being so polite? If you don’t have any clothes in the future, just tell me. However, although my father controlled my money, I forgot about my cousin last time. Don’t blame me for being weird.”

Lan Shuya stared at Yun Xiao’s face and felt that her expression was so calm and calm at the moment. She couldn’t help but feel for the clothes in front of her. “Cousin wasn’t angry with me and knocked my cousin’s blood over. I was already very satisfied. I didn’t dare to ask for anything else.”

Not daring to ask is not not not! Yun Xiao only pretended not to know and took Chun Lan and Chun Mei to the left wing room.

Lan Shuya went to the right wing and ruthlessly patted the clothes in her hand. Her beautiful face became ferocious as she said word by word, “Yun Xiao, I will make you pay the price for what you did today!”

Yu Tan’s expression turned cold. She no longer dared to look at Lan Shuya’s expression. Who would have thought that such a trivial action would make Lan Shuya unhappy? “What are you still waiting for? Why aren’t you changing my clothes? Are you waiting for me to make a fool of myself at the banquet?”

Yu Tan complained bitterly in her heart. She hurriedly walked forward and replied, “This servant does not dare.”

Yun Xiao had just changed her clothes when she heard a knock on the door and winked at Chun Mei.

However, when Chun Mei returned, his expression was very subtle. “Miss, county princess Hui Ning is here.”

Yun Xiao was also stunned. Immediately, a wisp of vigilance arose in her heart. She had no friendship with county princess Hui Ning. She could be sure that this was the first time she had met county princess Hui Ning in her previous life or in this life. However, why would county princess Hui Ning pay so much attention to the daughter of a merchant? He actually condescended to visit her.

As the biggest imperial merchant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, he had the most silver. County princess Hui Ning was quite favored. The Eldest Princess’ Manor did not know how many rare treasures she had, so she definitely did not look down on him.

For some reason, Yun Xiao always had a feeling in her heart that Yun Clan could come to the Eldest Princess Manor today because of this county princess of Hui Ning, and the county princess of Hui Ning’s purpose was to make this trip.

Chun Mei was given color. No matter what county princess Huining wanted to do, this was the Eldest Princess Manor. Naturally, she could not neglect the princess manor’s master.

He was secretly vigilant in his heart. Everything that happened today had never happened in his previous life, but this life had really happened in front of him.

He had almost ruined County Lord Hui Ning’s birthday banquet, yet County Lord Hui Ning had actually personally come to visit him? If something unusual happened, there would definitely be demons. They definitely wouldn’t change so many things just because of their own rebirth.

The sound of the door curtain rang out. Yun Xiao immediately got up from behind and saw County Lord Huining in a red dress walking in. She hurriedly bowed and said, “Greetings to County Lord, maiden.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s gaze fell on the respectful woman’s face. The expression in her eyes was very complicated. She winked at the maidservant Jin Se beside her. Jin Se had a very good look. She smiled and said to the two maidservants beside Yun Xiao, “Sisters, there is an osmanthus tree blooming in this courtyard. You may as well follow this servant to pick some and bring it back to the fourth young lady to make some small things.”

Chun Lan and Chun Mei looked at Yun Xiao in unison. Yun Xiao nodded invisibly before the two maids walked down.

County Lord Hui Ning sat down on his own and poured himself a cup of tea. Only then did he look at Yun Xiao again. However, at this moment, a deep hatred and disgust flashed through his eyes. “Fourth Young Lady, get up and sit down to have a cup of tea with me.”

The hatred in her eyes disappeared the instant Yun Xiao raised her head.

Yun Xiao stood up, but did not dare to sit down. She said in horror, “County princess, please forgive me for disturbing the county princess today. I hope the county princess will forgive me. The county princess is here personally, and the people are flattered. I really do not dare to sit with the county princess.”

County Lord Hui Ning’s gaze once again fell on Yun Xiao’s face, the depths of his eyes carrying an undetectable inquiry, “Why are you different from everyone else today? Did you not display talent? Instead, you showed off your culinary skills?”

Yun Xiao’s low eyebrows were filled with doubt. Could it be that county princess Hui Ning had specially rushed over to drive all the maids out to ask him this? Obviously impossible!

She was secretly vigilant in her heart, but her expression became even more respectful. “The talent of a maiden is really incapable of being used. The only thing that can be used is cooking. I beg the county princess to forgive me.”

Fourth Miss Yun Clan really didn’t have the talent to make a move! Only one culinary skill that everyone despised was at its peak! County Lord Hui Ning’s expression was slightly subtle. His voice was faint, but it carried a dignity that could not be ignored. “Is that so?”

Yun Xiao listened to this voice. For some reason, she felt like someone was spying on her. This feeling made her very uncomfortable.

Although county princess Hui Ning’s status was noble, in her previous life, Yun Xiao had been a queen. Naturally, she did not put this oppressive feeling in her eyes. Instead, she calmly responded, “Yes.”

County princess Huining suddenly smiled. The smile at the corner of her mouth was very gentle. “Do you hate Lan Shuya?”

In Yun Xiao’s eyes, that smile was exceptionally strange!

Does she hate Lan Shuya? Naturally, he hated it! Not only did she hate Lan Shuya, she also wanted to push her into hell! Let her taste the pain of her previous life!

Thinking of the past, Yun Xiao only felt that her heart was aching! However, why did county princess Hui Ning ask this? Just because Lan Shuya knocked over the sculpture? Or is it something else?

At this moment, Yunxiao could not understand county princess Hui Ning, nor did she know what she would do in the next moment, but she concealed her emotions very well.

Once such a thing as his rebirth was known, the person waiting for him would definitely be executed on the charge of monstrous genius. Yun Xiao’s face was calm, and her expression was filled with a bit of doubt. “Why should I hate my cousin?”

County Lord Hui Ning stared at Yun Xiao for a long time, as if he wanted to see a flaw in her face. The corner of his mouth hooked up slightly, and the smile in his eyes deepened. “Your macheteman was in the limelight at the banquet today. Now that your cousin messed things up, don’t you have any grudges?”

Yunxiao always felt that county princess Hui Ning was targeting her, so she knelt down again in horror. “The maiden did not blame her cousin. She only disturbed the county princess’ birthday banquet. It was a sin. The county princess was magnanimous and did not care about it. The maiden was extremely grateful and did not dare to complain.”

No wonder he was able to win the favor of that person! No wonder he was able to sit in that position! “It’s best if you don’t complain,” the county princess of Hui Ning said with a vicious gaze.

Yun Xiao’s gaze fell on a foot below her. She did not understand why her tone had changed in an instant?

Before Yunxiao could figure it out, County Lord Hui Ning had already stood up and walked out. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, “I hope you can say something like this in the future.”

How could he say such a thing? Naturally, she would lift Lan Shuya up high and fall down fiercely so that she would never be able to roll over again!

What she wanted to do, she would naturally think of a way to do it! Instead of waiting for the heavens to show mercy!

Yun Xiao looked at the swaying door, her eyes filled with a wisp of contemplation.

No, this county princess Hui Ning is not right!

However, there was something wrong, and she could not explain it clearly!
