Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 33

Chapter 033 Anger and Hatred for Merchant Girls
Yun Xiao did not expect that the legendary woman would actually stand in front of her!

The dessert fruits and other fresh things that he saw at the Eldest Princess’ Mansion today were all made by the woman in front of him!

Xiao Yuqi was the eldest daughter of the Xiao Clan of the Marquis of Changping. Her birth mother was the second daughter of the Marquis of South Town, the Song Clan. However, not long after the Song Clan married into the Marquis of Changping, the Marquis of South Town had declined. Her military power had been strangled, her father and brother killed, and the Song Clan had died in childbirth, leaving behind only a newborn daughter.

For some reason, Marquis Changping actually mentioned Mrs. Li as his wife. Mrs. Li was a personal maid beside Mrs. Song. She had been taken away from him before, but was later promoted to Mrs. Changping.

Xiao Yuqi was unknown until she was fourteen years old. After she was fourteen years old, she began to rise to fame in the capital. If the Yun Clan dared to rank first among the richest people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, then Xiao Yuqi would dare to rank second!

Afterwards … Yun Xiao turned to look at the man beside her. She heard that Xiao Yuqi had actually married Rong Jin in the end.

And now, Rong Jin, county princess Hui Ning, and Xiao Yuqi all appeared in front of him.

Xiao Yuqi’s eyes dodged slightly, and her pale face showed a trace of panic. “I’m fine, there’s no need to call a doctor.”

Yun Xiao frowned. Xiao Yuqi in front of her had a panicked expression and was timid. Was she really the legendary woman she had heard of?

She had the same identity and the same name. Could it be that she had mistaken her?

No, she can’t admit her mistake. Otherwise, county princess Hui Ning wouldn’t have used Xiao Yuqi to test her!

As expected, the corner of the county princess Huining’s eyes fell on her and Xiao Yuqi. Yunxiao raised her head and changed into a look of rejoicing for the rest of her life. “It’s good that Miss Xiao is fine, but it’s better to call a doctor to take a look.”

Xiao Yuqi’s expression became even more panicked. Seeing that many people revealed expressions of disdain, she frowned and tightened her grip on her handkerchief. “Miss Yun, don’t say that. It was my horse that startled Miss Yun just now. Is Miss Yun alright?”

Yun Xiao shook her head, her face flushed with an abnormal crimson color, and she quickly concealed it, “I’m fine, thanks to the Third Prince just now.” Yun Xiao somewhat admired herself, she was actually able to say this sentence so calmly.

As Yun Xiao spoke, her mind was also spinning rapidly. Earlier at the banquet, she had not heard anything about Xiao Yuqi. She had not even seen Xiao Yuqi in the pavilion. Now that Xiao Yuqi had appeared, could she really be late?

Or did someone deliberately hide Xiao Yuqi? Perhaps that person didn’t want to see Xiao Yuqi at all. If Xiao Yuqi appeared again at this time, it would obviously have a shocking effect on him!

Evidently, that person’s goal had been achieved. He was truly shocked. Fortunately, Rong Jin was there to remind him, otherwise, he would really be recognized by County Lord Hui Ning.

Yun Xiao’s gaze once again quietly sized Xiao Yuqi up. She was secretly puzzled in her heart. The Xiao Yuqi she met today and the Xiao Yuqi she had heard in her previous life seemed to be completely different. What exactly was going on?

County princess Hui Ning said at the right time, “Today was originally my birthday banquet. I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Everyone is fine. However, Miss Xiao and Miss Yun will go to the Princess’ Mansion to rest for a while. I can only rest assured when the imperial physician arrives to treat them.”

Before Yun Xiao could make a sound, Xiao Yuqi’s voice had already rang out, “No need, I’m fine. There are still things in the manor that cannot be delayed.”

That voice actually carried a hint of fear!

Yun Xiao noticed this very sensitively. Her heart became even more puzzled, and her face remained calm instead. “If I return to the county princess, I’m not injured. I won’t disturb the county princess today.”

Xiao Yuqi gave Yun Xiao a grateful look after pushing the two rooms aside for a while, but there was a hint of apology in the depths of her eyes, “I’ll take my leave first.”

After Xiao Yuqi left, Yun Xiao also bid farewell to the county princess of Hui Ning. There were some things that she had to think about carefully before coming to a conclusion. “Thank you county princess for your hospitality today, but the maiden should go back with her mother first and disturb the county princess another day.”

Rong Jin watched as the woman in front got into the carriage and also got into the carriage. Just as he stepped into the carriage, a hand lightly brushed past his cheek. A person-skin-mask landed on his palm. A small, round body pounced over. Rong Jin smiled and reached out to catch the person in his arms, picking him up.

Seeing the dissatisfaction on Rong Ruo’s pale face, Rong Jin extended his hand and kindly stroked his hair, “Ruoruo is unhappy?”

Rong Ruo snorted coldly and turned her head. Obviously, it wasn’t just that she was unhappy. “Why did you let that annoying bad man touch her mother?” In Rong Ruo’s eyes, only her father and that person were the best among the men, and Yun Xiao was her mother. The person who touched her mother was a bad person.

Rong Jin laughed. He did not know why Rong Ruo, such a picky person, would accept a woman like Yun Xiao as her mother.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he rubbed Rong Ruo’s round cheeks and said dotingly, “Your mother herself has a way to deal with it. If I help, I will put your mother in a dilemma.”

Rong Ruo finally turned around and looked at Rong Jin. A pair of small brows slowly wrinkled into two small earthworms. “Is Daddy lying to me?”

Rong Jin laughed. His gaze fell on Rong Ruo, but he seemed to be looking elsewhere through Rong Ruo. “Naturally, I won’t lie to Ruo Ruo.”

Rong Ruo’s eyebrows slowly evacuated before she raised her pink and tender face. “Since that’s the case, when will Daddy let me see Mother again?” This time, he had to spend a lot of effort before his father agreed to follow him. However, he had been hiding in the carriage for so long and hadn’t spoken to his mother yet.

Inside the Eldest Princess Mansion, County Lord Huining brought her maidservant into her own courtyard. Then, she instructed Nanny to prepare gifts for the Marquis Manor and Cloud Manor of Changping. She entered the house by herself.

Jin Se came in carefully with a portion of watermelon juice in her hand. She quietly looked at County Lord Hui Ning’s face and immediately said respectfully, “County Lord, Nanny Wang has already sent someone to deliver the gift.”

Ever since the county princess woke up half a month ago, it was different from before. However, she could not explain how it was different. Then, the county princess began to create something new. When these things were made, everyone in the princess’ mansion was shocked.

However, due to the status of county princess Huining, no one dared to say anything.

County Lord Hui Ning’s gaze fell on Jin Se, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile that was not a smile. However, that smile did not answer his eyes, “Jin Se, how many years have you been following me?”

Jinse was shocked by County Lord Hui Ning’s gaze. Her heart trembled. She immediately knelt down respectfully. These days, County Lord always looked at her in this way. There seemed to be something strange in her eyes. “County Lord Hui, this servant has been beside the County Lord for six years.”

County Princess Huining’s fingers, painted with red Dan Kou, lightly tapped the table. At first, it was only a single knock, but then it became faster and faster. Every knock seemed to enter Jin Se’s heart. Her kneeling body trembled slightly, and drops of sweat slowly dripped from her forehead, but she did not dare to raise her hand to wipe it away.

County princess Huining coldly swept her gaze over Jin Se. The corner of her mouth curled into a cold smile. Her words were so gentle that they seemed to drip out of the water. “Six years, that’s quite a long time.” Six years, plus one and a half years left before she got married, another two years after she got married, she actually raised a white-eyed wolf for nearly ten years!

In his previous life, he had married Gu Changan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Wuning, I thought I married a good husband, After getting married, he found out that Gu Changan actually liked a maidservant. He refused to enter the bridal chamber on the wedding night. In the end, he was threatened by Marquis Wu Ning using the maidservant’s life. He drank some strong yang medicine to have sex with him. After knowing that, he would definitely not accept it. He messed up Marquis Wu Ning’s mansion and beat the maidservant to death.

It was just that he didn’t expect Gu Changan to not enter his room for a month. He actually hired a few concubines in succession to add to his blockage.

She was the county princess of Huining, who was personally conferred by His Majesty. Her status was noble. Even if she did not live well in her husband’s house, she would never let the royal family know about such a scandal. Otherwise, she would lose face.

She wanted to recall Chang’an’s heart, so she gave Jin Se the face to be concubine mother. Jin Se was her dowry maidservant, so no one would say anything wrong about being concubine mother. Sure enough, Gu Chang’an began to dote on Jin Se, and he would stay in his room for one or two days a month.

The stomachs of several concubines moved one after another. However, she did not show any signs of pregnancy. Naturally, she would not allow Shu’s eldest son to be born. She simply gave all pregnant concubines a bowl of abortion medicine. This matter angered Gu Chang’an. Every time Gu Chang’an came to his room, he would drink medicine beforehand. It was as if he would have sex with her just to make his stomach react.

Although she was angry, she hated that her stomach did not react. Later, she went to the imperial physician to check her body and found that her body was no longer fertile. After a long examination, she realized that Jin Se, the maidservant, had secretly exchanged her beauty pills for Xue Lixiang.

Xue Lixiang could also be used to protect the face, and the effect was very good. However, there was one disadvantage, which was that long-term use would prevent a person from conceiving!

And Jin Se was in charge of all of his beauty pills!

The person she had brought with her for nearly ten years had actually used such a despicable method so that the child in her belly could be raised for her and become the eldest son of the first wife!

Jin Se was her dowry maidservant, and she opened her face again. She was naturally the person she trusted the most. As long as she could not conceive, she naturally had to hug and nurture the child from her concubine mother’s side. Jin Se was the one that she trusted the most among all the women in Gu Chang’an, so she would use such a method!

“Someone, pull Jin Se down and beat him to death!” County Lord Hui Ning thought of the past and looked at Jin Se with deep hatred in his eyes.

Jin Se’s body trembled like an ethmoid sinus, pleading for mercy, but County Lord Hui Ning had no intention of bypassing her.

Hearing the sound of sticks coming from outside and Jin Se crying for help, the corners of County Lord Hui Ning’s mouth curled into a bloodthirsty smile.

In his previous life, Gu Changan didn’t even look at him until he died miserably in his room!

His status was noble, but he lived such an unbearable life. Why was Yun Xiao just a daughter of a business that people looked down on, yet she was able to sit on the throne of the Empress and enjoy the glory and pet of her entire life!

Although Yun Xiao did not sit in the back for a few days, Yun Clan collaborated in treason, Yun Xiao committed adultery, and Zhou Jingyan did not give an order to kill her. After she died, three years later, he even found out that everything was done by Lan Shuya, and in the end, he executed Lan Shuya to avenge Yun Xiao!

Why was his noble status inferior to a lowly daughter of a merchant?
