Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 309
Chapter 309 Surprise Rong Jin
In just two days, Nuo Da and the Shen Clan were all sent to prison. The Shen Clan’s mansion was also sealed. Yun Yao was taken back to the Yun Clan, and she was still the Yun Clan’s third young lady.
The entire matter of the Shen Clan had become the talk of the people in the capital, and the people were even more delighted to talk about it.
Who could have imagined that the home of a dignified Third Grade Great Official would undergo an earth-shaking change because of a woman. From a high and mighty Great Official that people looked up to, he would immediately become a prisoner that everyone despised.
Because the capital governor wrote to the Jin Emperor, the Jin Emperor directly issued a decree to seal up the Shen Clan. He didn’t even give the Shen Clan a chance to plead for mercy, so he decided to decapitate the Shen Clan in the south of the city on the third day.
The moment the decapitation decree was issued, everyone in the capital cried out in alarm. Many people felt that the Shen Clan was dirty and dirty. They felt even more sympathy for the Yun Clan’s three young ladies. They actually married into a wolf nest.
Fortunately, nothing had happened to Third Young Lady in the Shen Clan. For a time, the reputation of Third Young Lady Yun Yao was also in great trouble amongst the people.
Of course, this was also a rumor that Yun Xiao had deliberately spread amongst the people. No matter what, Yun Yao had already done things for her. Helping her gain a reputation was also considered compensation for her. As for what would happen to Yun Yao in the future, Yun Xiao did not intend to continue asking.
Qing Mo pushed open the door and walked in. He saw the woman who was seriously studying the books after the desk. She respectfully walked forward and looked at the small body that seemed to have no strength. It was clearly so fragile, but in the span of a single move, she actually managed to make the dignified Shen Clan unable to recover in just three days. She had no choice but to admire him.
She respectfully placed the tea in her hand on the table. “Miss, the Shen family is going to behead them in two hours. Do you want to go take a look?”
When Yun Xiao heard this, her expression was extremely calm. She raised her eyebrows and said, “No need.” Apart from humiliating herself, the Shen Clan’s reputation in the capital would be ruined. It was not enough for her to kill the Shen Clan like this.
However, the origin of all the calamities of the Yun Clan in his previous life was all because of the Shen Clan.
Because the Shen Clan wanted to withdraw their marriage, Marrying Yun Yao was also considered giving face to the Yun Clan. If Zhou Jingyan were to propose marriage to her while her reputation was gone, then he would be offering her to Zhou Jingyan. All the disasters of the Yun Clan were caused by Zhou Jingyan, so the Shen Clan could not escape this sin. In addition, the Shen Clan was also Zhou Jingyan’s lackeys, so Yun Xiao was a bit soft-hearted towards the Shen Clan.
Now that the Shen Clan had declined, it could be considered revenge for the Yun Clan!
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao suddenly remembered something, “Late Qing, is there any movement in the Third Prince’s Mansion today?”
The Shen Clan was Zhou Jingyan’s people. Zhou Jingyan had already interfered in the Shen Clan’s affairs yesterday. Now, the Shen Clan was plagiarized. If Zhou Jingyan didn’t do anything, it would probably chill the hearts of his followers. Therefore, in any case, even if Zhou Jingyan thought that the Shen Clan was useless, he would still express his stance to save the Shen Clan at this time.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was still no news from the Third Prince’s Mansion. “Lady, don’t worry, this servant has been ordering people to watch over their affairs. If anything happens, someone will come and report it.”
Just as Yun Xiao was about to nod, a white pigeon flew over from the window. The pigeon stretched its legs and combed its hair, then carefully looked at the people in the room.
When Qing Mo saw this, he immediately walked over and took down the letter tied to the pigeon’s feet. He handed it to Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao opened the letter and her eyebrows trembled. A trace of coldness flashed across her face as she patted the letter on the table.
Unexpectedly, she had guessed correctly. Zhou Jingyan had indeed acted. He ordered people to go to the capital governor’s prison to exchange for Shen Yinghai. Fortunately, he was stopped by the people at the end of Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, Shen Yinghai would have really escaped.
Although Shen Yinghai was crazy now, he was still a member of the Shen Clan. If he was cured, he would probably kill the Yun Clan.
The Yun Clan would not give Shen Yinghai a chance to escape because they didn’t leave a single root of the grass to be cut and the spring breeze blew again.
When Qing Mo saw this, he carefully asked, “Miss, what happened?”
“Zhou Jingyan has indeed made his move. He wants to trade Shen Yinghai for a death row prisoner. He has been temporarily stopped by our people. However, since a person like Zhou Jingyan has already made his move, even though he has failed, he will definitely be prepared. Let’s go out and take a look. We must not let Zhou Jingyan leave immediately.” Yun Xiao immediately got up from the desk, went to the wardrobe and took a fox fur cloak before walking out.
Qing Mo’s expression was also cold as he immediately said respectfully, “Yes.”
Qing Mo was not idle when she let Yun Xiao put on her clothes. She immediately instructed Chun Lan to go down and let Chun Lan get someone to prepare the carriage.
After Yun Xiao changed into her clothes, the carriage was ready.
Not long after, a horse carriage slowly left the Yun Clan’s gate.
After less than half an hour, Yun Xiao finally arrived at the main street. She happened to see teams of officers and soldiers escorting the Shen Family to the execution ground.
The surrounding people smashed some abandoned vegetables and other things at the prison cart, while the people from the Shen Clan were all hiding in the prison cart at this moment, not daring to utter a single syllable.
Yun Xiao looked at him like this, a strange look flashing through her eyes.
“This Shen Clan’s people are really not a thing. Not only are they greedy for the dowry of the Third Young Lady of the Mo Yun Clan, they are also greedy for hundreds of thousands of silver taels. Those are all silver that they want to give to the people!”
“That’s right. I smashed the Shen Family to death. I didn’t expect that they would act like humans and do such dirty things behind their backs. The shameless Shen Family deserves to die!”
“That’s right, the death of the Shen Family isn’t worth cherishing!
…
More and more curses came to mind, and the smile in Yun Xiao’s eyes became more and more wanton. Of course, there was also a smile in the depths of her eyes.
The Shen Clan was arrested. Many people knew that the Shen Clan was doomed, so they broke up with the Shen Clan one after another. There were also some officials in the court who took advantage of this time to reveal the evidence of the Shen Clan’s corruption.
A total of 540,000 taels of silver had been embezzled. Such a huge amount of data made the Jin Emperor angry on the spot, wanting to decapitate the Shen Clan and show them to the public.
Of course, as for the officials who provided the evidence, the evidence in their hands was sent over by Yun Xiao to Qing Mo.
Qing Mo was a member of the Ten Directions Palace, so finding evidence of the Shen Clan’s greed was as easy as flipping a palm.
Seeing the Shen Family become a disdainful prisoner, Yun Xiao’s heart could not be said to be straightforward.
She opened the carriage and her gaze landed on the carriage in front of her. At this moment, the gazes of Shen Yinghai and the Mr. Shen family were all dull. As she had already said this before, she had only punished the owner of the Shen family this time. She had not treated the servants of the Shen family well, but the number of them was no small number.
Yun Xiao looked at the world like this, her gaze carrying a faint light.
When his gaze shifted to another place, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be an extremely familiar gaze not far away.
Yun Xiao’s entire body was stunned. She looked not far away in disbelief. How was this possible? Why is he here?
What’s going on?
However, when Yun Xiao looked over again, she did not see that person’s figure. How was that possible?
There was only the scene of civilians smashing their carts with eggs and vegetables.
When Qing Mo saw Yun Xiao’s abnormal behavior in the carriage, he hurriedly said, “Miss, what happened to you?”
Yun Xiao suddenly turned around and grabbed Qing Mo’s arm. She looked at her blankly, “Qing Mo, where is Rong Jin now?” Why did she see Rong Jin’s figure? So familiar, and so palpitating.
Was it him or not?
Yun Xiao opened the carriage again, but she still didn’t see the familiar figure.
She thought that she did not miss him, but when she suddenly saw his figure, Yun Xiao realized that he missed him so much. He had never thought of someone like this.
Qing Mo also followed Yun Xiao’s realization and looked out. However, she did not see anything. She only saw the blank faces of the people and frowned. “Miss, Master is not here.” Could it be that Miss really missed Master? Is that why you’re thinking about it?
However, since she missed him, why didn’t she write a letter to her master after so many days had passed?
What exactly was going on?
“No, he’s here.” Yun Xiao seemed to be confident as she was about to get out of the carriage, but at this moment, she suddenly jolted.
Why was she so persistent? So what if Rong Jin came? He hadn’t even given him a letter, yet he was still looking forward to him? That’s ridiculous.
Yun Xiao, who had just arrived at the door, suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly and sat down again. This burst of reaction caused the few people in the carriage to frown. They did not know what Yun Xiao wanted to do.
At this time, Chun Lan remembered that it had been a long time since she had met Young Master Rong. She asked doubtfully, “Isn’t Young Master Rong in the capital?”
Yun Xiao looked at her and turned around.
Right now, she was just a person who was imagined by Rong Jin’s back, so she wasn’t like this.
She had to be calm, but her throbbing heart had not calmed down for a long time.
Yun Xiao pretended to pick up the teacup and drink it to conceal her embarrassment, but she did not reply to Chun Lan’s words.
Chun Lan looked at Qing Mo with a curious expression. However, Qing Mo coldly snorted and turned her head. Chun Lan knew that she could not get an answer. She immediately stopped saying anything and obediently started to play with the wreath.
If she didn’t tell him, then she wouldn’t tell him. She just missed Rong Ruo, who was soft and waxy.
After Yun Xiao put down the teacup, a gust of wind blew over. Yun Xiao could not help but look out of the window. However, there was nothing strange outside. There was no more familiar back. Yun Xiao lowered her eyebrows and frowned. She was a little irritated by her throbbing heart, but she still couldn’t help but miss that person.
Helplessly, Yun Xiao could only take out a book and read it. Her expression was serious, as if nothing could affect her. Her eyebrows were full of spirit, and the corners of her mouth carried a calm smile. However, she did not know that she had taken the book backwards.
