Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 324

Chapter 324 Excited General, Please
A tattered-clothed beggar quietly walked to the entrance of the Yun Clan. After looking around for a long time, he saw a guard running over with a whip. When he approached the Yun Clan’s gate, he got off his horse and ran into the Yun Clan’s mansion.

When the beggar saw this, he immediately greeted him and said respectfully, “Sir, wait a moment!”

“What is it?” The person who came was the adjutant beside the Seventh Prince, Zhou Jingrui. Seeing that there was a beggar coming, he stopped.

The beggar smiled and said, “Sir, this is a letter. Someone said that the little one should wait here and give this letter to you. As for who it is for, the little one doesn’t know.”

The adjutant received the letter with a strange expression. Seeing that there was the Seventh Prince written on it, his expression changed slightly and he received the letter.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the beggar immediately blocked his way and said with a smile, “Sir, let the messenger say that the letter has been delivered. You will give the little one a certain amount of money.”

The adjutant felt even more strange. Even though he said, “I don’t have any silver with me now. Follow me in first and the silver will be given to you.”

The beggar did not suspect him and followed him into Yun Mansion. Very quickly, the group arrived at the guest room. The seventh prince, Zhou Jingrui, was sitting in the room, reading a book in his hand. However, his drifting gaze occasionally turned to the bed.

Speaking of which, it was ridiculous. No one could sleep on the couch, but the Seventh Prince’s horse could sleep on the blanket.

It really was the stench of the Vermillion Gate Wine and meat, and there were starving bones on the road.

The beggar sighed, but no one cared about his expression. The adjutant quickly stepped forward and handed the letter to the Seventh Prince. “Your Highness, someone gave this letter to the beggar and asked him to pass it to you.”

The Seventh Prince opened the letter and saw that there was only one line inside, “The antidote is in Yun Xiao’s hairpin.”

The Seventh Prince’s expression changed slightly. His expression was gloomy and uncertain as he berated sternly, “Tell me, who gave you this letter?”

The beggar was only here to get the reward. How would he know that he didn’t get the reward? Seeing this scene, his expression changed slightly and he respectfully knelt down. “Your Highness, please spare me. This letter was given to me by a sturdy man. I don’t know who it is.”

“Do you still remember to take the big man’s appearance?” The Seventh Prince’s expression became even gloomier. If it wasn’t for Yun Xiao’s words, he would have believed this letter.

However, even so, he did not withdraw all his doubts towards Yun Xiao.

However, now that Yun Xiao had the entire Yun Clan at stake, he was not afraid that Yun Xiao would make any changes.

The beggar pondered for a moment before trembling and saying, “Your Highness, I really don’t know. That person’s face is covered and I haven’t seen his appearance.”

The Seventh Prince, Zhou Jingrui, stared at the beggar for a while. Finally, he snorted coldly and let him go. He even asked the adjutant to give him a silver ingot.

After sending the beggar away, Zhou Jingrui immediately instructed the servants here, “Go and invite Yun Xiao over.”

Not long after, Yun Xiao, who had received the news, quickly rushed over. After entering, she first glanced at Feng Yan, who was still lying on the bed. No matter how big she was, it was the first time she had seen someone pay so much attention to a horse.

“I wonder what news the Seventh Prince has received? He can’t wait to find me?” Yun Xiao smiled and bowed to Zhou Jingrui, then sat down proudly.

Zhou Jingrui threw the letter in his hand in front of Yun Xiao and said sternly, “Fourth Young Lady, it’s better to read it yourself.”

Yun Xiao took the letter over. After opening it, she read through the contents. Looking at the words on it, she suddenly laughed, “So His Highness the Seventh Prince is angry because of this.”

Seeing that Yun Xiao didn’t take it seriously, Zhou Jingrui’s expression was gloomy. He coldly snorted and said, “Then according to Fourth Young Lady’s meaning, I didn’t take this matter to heart? I worked with Fourth Young Lady, and Fourth Young Lady was dishonest. Are you still waiting for me to come and look for you?”

Yun Xiao only chuckled. Then, she reached out and pulled out the white jade hairpin from her bun and placed it in front of Zhou Jingrui. “If His Highness the Seventh Prince wants to see this, then let’s see.”

Zhou Jingrui was somewhat surprised by her calmness. He took the hairpin in his hand and examined it carefully. He did not notice anything unusual. He said with a calm expression, “What’s wrong with this hairpin?”

He lightly knocked on it a few times and discovered that the hairpin was hollow, even though it was surprising.

Immediately after, his hand suddenly touched a protrusion. Then, he pressed down on it, causing the jade hairpin to collapse, revealing a small section of medicinal powder.

The powder fell onto the table, forming a sharp contrast to the dark table, even if it wasn’t noticeable.

The moment Zhou Jingrui saw the powder, his expression became gloomy. He went to look at Yun Xiao, but Yun Xiao’s expression was calm, as if nothing had happened.

Since Yun Xiao really had such a problematic hairpin mentioned in other people’s letters, there must be a ghost in her heart, but Yun Xiao’s calmness surprised Zhou Jingrui. Shouldn’t she have a face full of fear?

Under Yun Xiao’s gesture, Zhou Jingrui reached out and picked some of the powder on the table. Then, he leaned closer to his nose and gently sniffed, “What is this?”

“Flour,” Yun Xiao said calmly. Then, she reached out and picked up some flour and tried it in her mouth. Only then did she look at Zhou Jingrui with a smile that was not a smile. “If this hairpin was poison, His Highness the Seventh Prince would not sit and talk to me now.”

Zhou Jingrui’s face also turned cold. He hadn’t thought of this matter before and opened the jade hairpin. If Yun Xiao was really harmful to his mind, he would probably have died just from his slow reaction.

Perhaps it had already been restrained by Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao had a faint smile on her face. Seeing this, Zhou Jingrui felt a little angry in his heart. He coldly snorted and concealed his embarrassment before saying, “What’s going on with this jade hairpin?”

After this incident, even if he didn’t believe in Yun Xiao, he still had to choose to believe in her.

However, judging from the wisdom displayed by Yun Xiao in the past two days, this woman’s scheme was definitely not simple.

A faint evil smile appeared on the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth before she slowly said, “After I woke up today, I realized that my jade hairpin had been changed. After carefully checking it, I found out that there was poison hidden in it. Thus, I changed the poison in time to find the real murderer.”

If Rong Jin hadn’t told her, she probably wouldn’t have known that this hairpin had been swapped.

Thinking about how she had brought her jade hairpin for two days, Yun Xiao’s expression became somewhat strange.

In the past few days, apart from the people beside her, only Yun Yao was able to get close to Yun Xiao.

This jade hairpin was also placed on the ground by Yun Yao when she was in the Shen Clan that day. Yun Yao anxiously picked it up and gave it back to her. Now she thought that it was at that time that Yun Yao changed the jade hairpin.

The poison inside had also induced the poison in her body, which was why Yun Xiao had poisoned her earlier. Of course, this medicine was also poison, and the people she met would also poison her earlier.

Yun Xiao couldn’t help but admire those who could think of such a plan.

Normally, no matter how cautious Yun Xiao was, she never expected Yun Yao to turn around and deal with her.

“Since that’s the case, have the fourth young miss found the murderer?” Seeing Yun Xiao’s calm expression, Zhou Jingrui couldn’t help but reveal a trace of curiosity.

Suddenly, a trace of gloom appeared in Yun Xiao’s calm eyes, “Almost!”

Since he was a little close, then he couldn’t catch him.

Zhou Jingrui’s expression was also slightly ugly. “What do you plan to do next, Fourth Young Lady?”

Yun Xiao’s elegant little face carried a faint mockery. Then, she said with an embarrassed expression, “Let’s deal with all changes without any change. Since they have already written a letter to the Seventh Prince, it seems that they can’t wait any longer. Let’s continue waiting. They will surely take the bait soon.”

Yun Xiao had just finished speaking when she saw Zhou Jingrui’s expression was extremely gloomy. Even if she coughed, “Your Highness, don’t worry, there will definitely be a result today.” Since this fake death medicine can only guarantee the result of a day, the other party will definitely make a move on this day.

Zhou Jingrui’s expression was still a little ugly, but he didn’t have any good ideas. He could only snort coldly and then said, “If I can’t save Feng Yan today, I will have the entire Yun Mansion be buried with him!”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly, and her gaze carried a trace of displeasure. Then, she said angrily, “If His Highness the Seventh Prince really found the murderer earlier and wanted the antidote, he might as well go out and walk around the streets.”

Zhou Jingrui frowned and looked at Yun Xiao. What did walking around have to do with finding the antidote?

However, Yun Xiao did not intend to continue speaking to him, “That’s all. What to do next will depend on His Highness the Seventh Prince. Whether he wants to wait for the rabbit or lure the other party to come to his door.”

After she finished speaking, she didn’t care whether Zhou Jingrui would feel embarrassed or not, so she directly turned around and walked out.

Zhou Jingrui stared at the figure with a calm expression. The lieutenant general beside him had a gloomy expression. “Your Highness, the fourth Miss Yun Clan is disrespectful to you. Your subordinate will bring her back for you!”

Zhou Jingrui waved his hand. His gaze was deep, and a wisp of worry flashed through his eyes. “You can go down and prepare the horses. Let’s leave the Cloud Manor!” Speaking of which, if Yun Xiao really lied to him, even if he could teach the Yun Family a lesson, it would still be difficult for him to bury the entire Yun Family with him.

In addition, although he had just entered the capital, he knew that Yun Xiao had some relationship with the Ninth Prince, Zhou Jingxu, and the Crown Prince’s Palace, Zhou Jingchen.

Although the lieutenant general wanted to persuade him again, he still swallowed the words that had reached his lips in the end. He hurriedly went down to arrange it. If he were to lure the other party, the other party would definitely send someone over. He had to arrange it beforehand.

When Zhou Jingrui and the others walked out of the Yun Clan’s main entrance, a moon-white figure walked out from behind the door with an unclear smile on the corner of his lips.

Qing Mo also walked out and said respectfully, “Young lady, you’ve already arranged it.”

Yun Xiao calmly nodded her head, and a trace of determination appeared on her palm-sized elegant little face, “Alright.”
