Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 32

Chapter 032 Soul-Shocking in Front of the Manor
The maids carried trays of fish in and placed a cup in front of the girls. This cup was completely translucent and somewhat different from what they saw in the peaceful days. The water in the cup was full and had a faint cyan color. There were also two slices of lemon slices on the top edge of the cup.

Everyone was surprised and took a sip. Yun Xiao then widened her eyes in surprise. “County princess, what kind of tea is this? It’s sour and sweet, yet it’s actually so delicious?” The others also looked at the county princess of Hui Ning.

County princess Huining was not stingy. She looked away from Yun Xiao and said, “This is called lemonade. Drinking a cup of lemonade after dinner is the best. This lemonade has the effects of whitening, nourishing, clearing away pyrolysis, and helping digestion in the stomach. Of course, it is also an essential drink to lose weight.”

“Who invented this?”

Before county princess Hui Ning could speak, Jin Se, who was beside her, had already said, “My county princess personally came up with this idea.”

Everyone looked at the county princess of Hui Ning in astonishment. I didn’t expect county princess Hui Ning to come up with such a novel thing. Not only that, but lemons weren’t owned by the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Furthermore, the skin of this kind of thing was golden yellow. It was extremely bright. However, rumors had it that it was poisonous. No one dared to eat it. I didn’t expect that county princess Hui Ning would actually use it to make lemon honey water.

What was even more unexpected was that not only was this lemon not poisonous, it also had so many effects.

“You’re just a quick-mouthed girl.” County Head Huining smiled and didn’t have the slightest intention of blaming her. “I’ve checked with the imperial physician that this lemon isn’t poisonous, but it’s quite beneficial to our health. If we add some honey into it, the taste will be even better.”

As Yun Xiao listened to county princess Hui Ning’s words, she tasted another mouthful. Her bright eyes carried a satisfied smile, “It’s really delicious.”

County Head Hui Ning saw that it was the first time Yun Xiao drank this kind of thing. He took another sip and felt relieved. “Fourth Young Lady, drink more if you like. I’ll bring you some later. I’ll tell you some more ways. You can also develop one or two.”

Yun Xiao’s face was filled with pleasant surprise. Her eyes sparkled and she said respectfully, “Thank you, county princess.”

None of the girls had expected county princess Huining to treat a woman with such a low status. She looked at Yun Xiao with some malice, but in front of county princess Huining, no one dared to say it out loud.

County Lord Hui Ning’s gaze once again fell on Lan Shuya and said kindly, “If Second Young Lady likes it, she can bring some back.”

Lan Shuya was still jealous of Yun Xiao, but when she heard county princess Hui Ning’s words, she woke up from her dreams. Her eyes were filled with undisguised joy. “Thank you county princess,” she said, ignoring the hatred coming from behind her.

When Yun Xiao saw this, she only sighed in her heart. This county princess of Hui Ning was quite smart. In just a few words, she stirred up the anger between the two sisters of the Lan Clan. I’m afraid the Lan Clan won’t have a peaceful day in the future.

However, this pair of sisters were completely unaware of it, or they had clearly guessed it, but they deliberately ignored it.

Of course, with Lan Shuya’s cousin here, he wouldn’t be able to have a day of leisure.

At this time, the maids entered again. Each girl presented some snacks in front of her. Yun Xiao looked at the snacks in front of her with a trace of such an expression in her eyes.

She didn’t expect that she wasn’t the only one who had been reborn. County Lord Hui Ning was also reborn just like herself. However, Yunxiao couldn’t understand why County Lord Hui Ning hated her. She had never offended county magistrate Hui Ning in her previous life.

“This dessert is called Purple Potato Cheese. The recipe is also very simple. Steam the sweet potatoes into mashed sweet potatoes, squeeze them into your favorite style, drip some grape juice, and then add some cheese.”

County princess Huining’s words were simple, but everyone was confused. The one in front was very simple, but what was cheese? However, they had never heard of it before, and county princess Huining no longer had the intention to continue.

The corners of Yun Xiao’s mouth revealed a faint joy, and her voice carried a trace of pleasant surprise. “I have always loved cooking, and these desserts are unheard of. Today, I have truly been taught.”

County Lord Hui Ning had been observing Yun Xiao. Seeing Yun Xiao say this, the corner of his mouth revealed a trace of relief. Perhaps he had thought too much. If Yun Xiao had also been reborn, he wouldn’t not have been unaware of the snacks that had appeared in the streets and alleys of his previous life.

In his previous life, these snacks had caused a frenzy in the capital. Yun Xiao was a noble empress in his previous life, so it was not impossible for her to have never eaten these snacks before.

However, for the sake of safety, county princess Hui Ning still let the maidservant serve a snack again. If Yunxiao was also reborn, then she couldn’t stay. If she wasn’t reborn, she could still compete with her and watch the most respected woman in her previous life crawl at her feet.

The banquet finally ended, and county princess Huining personally sent out her daughter-in-law’s daughter-in-law’s daughter-in-law’s daughter-in-law.

In front of the princess’ mansion, many nobles had already left. County Lord Hui Ning finally let Yun Xiao, Lan Shuya, and the others leave. At the end, he did not forget to warn her, “Fourth Young Lady, if you are free, you might as well come to the princess’ mansion. Today, when I saw you join us, I have the intention to make friends.”

Yun Xiao ignored all the jealousy in her surroundings and obediently replied, “County princess has so many ingenious snacks here, and I have always loved cooking. As long as County princess doesn’t dislike it, I will naturally disturb you more.”

County princess Huining looked at the carriage that Yun Xiao walked towards the Yun mansion. She raised her head and looked up at the sun in the sky. The corner of her mouth hooked into a faint gentle smile. However, the smile was slightly strange under the sun’s illumination.

Madam Lu and the others had already boarded the carriage. Just as Yun Xiao lifted the hem of her skirt and stepped onto the small stool, she heard something strange coming from not far behind.

Looking sideways, he saw a mad carriage running straight towards him. His expression changed, but when he saw County Lord Hui Ning at the entrance of the Princess’ Mansion, the thought of dodging disappeared in his mind.

However, Yun Xiao would not allow the horses to step over her body. She held the carriage wall tightly with one hand, and her feet had already stepped onto the carriage shaft. The sound of breathing in cold air could be heard in her ears.

Yun Xiao turned around and saw that a fast carriage had already arrived beside her. The carriage wall just happened to be beside her. She screamed in horror and was about to land on the ground. Her hands were so anxious that she wanted to help the carriage wall stabilize her body. The carriage behind her sped past, and Yun Xiao took an unsteady step and fell straight to the ground.

Wherever he could see, a mocking, mocking and gloating expression appeared in everyone’s eyes. Yun Xiao’s body suddenly stiffened and she saw a pair of eyes as deep as ink. The corner of his mouth seemed to be smiling as if he understood what he was going to do next.

Rong Jin suddenly raised his hand and wrapped a strand of ink hair around his ear. He lightly moved his index finger without the slightest intention of coming up to save him. As for Yun Xiao, when she saw Rong Jin’s finger, she buzzed and felt her mind go blank.

Rong Jin suddenly raised his hand at this moment, clearly reminding himself of what that hand had done!

In this moment of shock, Yun Xiao’s waist, which was already supported by someone, was filled with the smell of ambergris. Her expression changed and she looked up to see a warm and worried face.

Looking at this face, Yun Xiao’s body couldn’t help but stiffen for a moment. Her eyes were filled with hatred and she reached out to push Zhou Jingyan.

Taking a step back, he remembered that county princess Huining was staring at him. He lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, “Thank you, Third Prince, for saving us.”

Zhou Jingyan stared at her head full of green silk and frowned invisibly. He had clearly seen the hatred in her eyes just now. It was as if he wanted to devour her alive, but in the blink of an eye, she had regained her face of fear, timidity, and respect. It was truly interesting.

“Get up, it’s just a simple matter of doing something.”

At this moment, the carriage that was crazily running in front suddenly stopped, followed by a scream that pierced through the sky.

Hearing this, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, she did not need to deal with this hypocritical man that she hated the most!

Someone immediately ran forward and saw that the horse in front of the carriage had already fallen to the ground and was dead. In the carriage, there was a woman with messy clothes and hair in a disheveled bun.

Yun Xiao also followed the crowd and walked forward. When she saw this scene, her gaze was on the man who had already walked to her side. Just now, she had clearly seen a flash of light in his hand. This horse had died well, so it must have something to do with him.

When Rong Jin saw Yun Xiao looking over, the corner of his mouth moved slightly and he silently uttered a few words. Yun Xiao just happened to stare at Rong Jin’s lips and naturally saw what he meant.

“I just don’t want Ruo Ruo to lose a mother.”

Yun Xiao only felt her face turn slightly red. She glared fiercely at Rong Jin in a corner that no one else could see. She did not expect a man like an exiled immortal to actually say such rascal words.

Even so, Yun Xiao was still very grateful to Rong Jin for agreeing to let Ruo Ruo call her mother. She really liked that person who was like her own son.

Yun Xiao withdrew her gaze. She saw that the woman in the carriage had already been helped down by the maidservant. The woman wore a bamboo-colored dress. The corners of the dress were painted with colorful threads that outlined the pink-blue moire of flowers and grass. The simple Lingyun bun was gently rolled up with a ruby-gold diamond hairpin and decorated with a few beads. However, its tail was messy, and strands of hair were hanging at its end.

It was clearly a chaotic scene, but on the contrary, it gave off a strange sense of beauty, causing one’s eyes to shine.

“Is Miss Xiao alright?”

“Why are you startling the horse? Are you hurt?”

“Hurry up, Doctor Xuan.”

…

Chaotic sounds and footsteps rang in Yun Xiao’s ears. Yun Xiao’s mind was buzzing. She only responded to the address of Eldest Miss Xiao. Her straight line of sight fell on the woman opposite her, only to find that the woman was also looking at her.

Suddenly, her arm hurt, and Yun Xiao immediately came back to her senses. She lowered her eyebrows to prevent the crowd from discovering her current expression.

The hands on both sides of Yun Xiao were tightly clenched together. She did not expect it to be her! I didn’t expect to meet her here!
