Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 365

Chapter 365 A Midnight Visitor
As time passed, the night grew thicker and thicker.

Rong Jin opened the door and walked out of the greenhouse. A temporary greenhouse was built here to nurture immortal herbs.

This time, Rong Jin planted the divine immortal grass in several different places, wanting to observe what kind of environment the divine immortal grass was suitable for.

Rong Jin rubbed his eyebrows. He felt a slight pain on his forehead. In the past few days, he had been walking around continuously for Yun Xiao’s matter. In addition to the matter of the Divine Immortal Grass, his body was very tired.

Jiang Qing followed Rong Jin into the room. Seeing that Rong Jin’s face was somewhat purple, he asked worriedly, “Master, are you going to take the antidote now?”

Rong Jin was slightly stunned and finally turned into a sigh, “No need, my body can still hold on.”

Jiang Qing immediately frowned. “Master, if the Crown Prince finds out that you are torturing yourself for a woman, I’m afraid His Highness the Crown Prince will order you to kill the fourth young lady.”

Ever since he saw the bottle of antidote, he knew that Rong Jin had voluntarily taken it. The antidote was in his own hands, but he didn’t take it. Jiang Qing felt that Rong Jin’s thinking was somewhat different from others’. He even felt that the man who had been so wise before and was still pointing at Jiang Shan was no longer the man in front of him.

Of course, he couldn’t understand why Rong Jin was doing this!

“You threatened me?” Rong Jin’s dark eyes narrowed into a glimmer of killing intent.

Jiang Qing’s legs felt a little weak after seeing Rong Jin. However, he still looked at Rong Jin’s face and said word by word, “If Master does not let anyone off the hook for a woman, this subordinate would rather risk everything to kill that woman and let that decisive master return!”

The corner of Rong Jin’s mouth slowly curled into a faint smile. In the blink of an eye, he had already arrived in front of Jiang Qing. His well-knit fingers grabbed Jiang Qing’s neck. Although his face was still as gentle as before, Jiang Qing could see a wisp of bone-chilling killing intent in Rong Jin’s eyes.

“Remember, what you should and shouldn’t do!” After Rong Jin finished speaking, he slowly restrained his killing intent and put down Jiang Qing’s hand. Then, he said warmly, “You did well today. Go down!”

Jiang Qing didn’t know what to do. The changes Rong Jin had made him somewhat uncertain. However, hearing Rong Jin’s words, he heaved a sigh of relief. Now, he had walked through the gates of hell.

After Jiang Qing’s figure disappeared, Rong Jin took out a small bottle of medicine from his sleeve and placed it in front of him. He sized it up a few times, and the mockery between his eyebrows became more and more intense.

Perhaps, he should make a decision.

In the past few days, he also knew that he had changed too much. He was actually soft-hearted for a woman. It was truly not suitable for him to continue to be the Palace Master of the Ten Directions Palace.

Just as Jiang Qing said, as the Palace Master of the Ten Directions Palace, he should put the interests of the Ten Directions Palace first. He had already placed the Ten Directions Palace on a dangerous platform for that woman.

Therefore, although he was very disgusted with Jiang Qing threatening Yun Xiao’s life, and even wished he could kill Jiang Qing in order to put an end to Yun Xiao’s assassination, as a member of the Ten Directions Palace, Jiang Qing’s words were absolutely correct.

He walked to the side of the table, laid out a piece of paper, and wrote a few lines on the paper. Then, he called for the pigeon and passed it on.

After finishing these things, Rong Jin was still awake.

He took out a stalk of immortal herbs that he had just brought over and took a lot of precious medicinal ingredients. It took him a total of two hours to prepare the medicinal ingredients before using the immortal herbs as a guide to eat them first.

Now, with the help of the Immortal God Grass, he didn’t need to rely on Yun Xiao’s body to detoxify himself.

There was already a trace of light outside. Yun Xiao rubbed her eyebrows. Her body was very tired, but she always felt that something was missing, so she did not feel sleepy.

Looking at the neat bed, the corner of Rong Jin’s mouth curled into a faint smile.

Then, he opened the secret passageway of the room and entered Yun Xiao’s room through the secret passageway again.

As soon as he entered, Qing Mo, who was guarding the room, noticed his intrusion. He immediately opened his eyes and pulled out his sword to charge over. However, before she could move, a silver needle flew out from Rong Jin’s wrist and pierced into Qing Mo’s body. It blocked Qing Mo’s zhenqi and even pointed at Qing Mo’s acupoints.

Rong Jin tidied up his robes and sized up the clothes in the room before continuing to walk to the bedside.

When he saw Yun Xiao’s palm-sized elegant face, Rong Jin finally realized what he was missing.

She took off her shoes and rolled onto the couch. When he entered the quilt, Yun Xiao, who had been sleeping unsteadily, seemed to be able to feel his aura. She turned around and hugged Rong Jin’s neck. She looked for a comfortable position in his embrace with a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth. She immediately fell asleep.

Rong Jin looked at the petite figure that automatically rolled into his embrace. The corner of his mouth curled into a faint smile, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction.

She wished she could rub the woman in front of her into her arms and finally fell asleep.

Qing Mo, who was sleeping on the soft couch and guarding the night, never imagined that he would be unable to move on the couch with just a single move.

She looked at Rong Jin on the couch, her face flushed red. She thought that something would happen, but after waiting for a long time, she only let out a sigh of relief when the two of them breathed steadily.

If Young Master and Young Lady were to work together, she would be shy even if she were to watch from the sidelines, no matter how cold she was.

…

Little by little, the sky lit up. Rong Jin slept for an hour before he woke up. Listening to the noise outside, he immediately knew that the Yun Clan was preparing to marry a newly married woman.

The expression in his eyes darkened slightly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth carried a trace of mockery. However, a trace of interest quickly flashed across his face.

Yun Yang was already dead. If Lan Shuya were to marry him, she would definitely be widowed. If she was more honest and had her companions to support her, she would naturally be able to live a rich life. However, if she was greedy enough to devour elephants and dared to put her ideas on Yun Xiao, he would definitely not bypass her.

However, he was curious as to why Yun Xiao was so straightforward, agreeing to let Lan Shuya marry into Yun Clan.

With Lan Shuya’s unbearable and vomiting face, there was probably no one in the capital who wanted to marry her. Wouldn’t it be better for her to die on her own?

She lowered her head and looked at the person in her arms. Because her ears were not good, she could not hear the slightest movement in Yun Mansion, nor did it cause any effect on her death. Instead, she slept more and more soundly.

However, even though he knew this, Rong Jin still reached out to cover Yun Xiao’s ears, not letting the sound of the outside world interfere with Yun Xiao’s sleep.

In the room, Qing Mo stared at the beams for the whole night. Now that he heard the joyous voice in Yun Mansion, a trace of mockery appeared in his eyes.

However, looking at the sky, it was about time for Yun Xiao to get up. However, the acupoints on her body were puzzled, and she could not move at all. She was a little anxious at this moment.

When the people outside saw that Qing Mo didn’t invite anyone to come in to serve Yun Xiao to wash up, naturally, no one came in. Moreover, before the master and madam left last night, they had already said that they would let the girl rest well and not go out.

If the ugliest woman in the capital married into the Cloud Palace without a bridegroom, what was there to look at?

If it weren’t for the fact that Yun Clan had a girl dealing with Madam Lu, Lan Shuya’s current appearance would have made it extremely difficult for her to marry into Yun Mansion.

Right now, their young lady’s health was not good, so she naturally had to put her body first. There was a lot of chaos ahead, and there were many guests. If the young lady went to the front yard and was accidentally hit by someone, it would not be good for the young lady’s recovery.

All the maids in the Rose Courtyard thought the same thing in their hearts, so that no one came to wake Yun Xiao up. On the contrary, Brother Han came to the courtyard in a bright red wedding dress and looked for Yun Xiao once. Seeing that Yun Xiao hadn’t risen yet, he turned back.

Of course, there was a reason why Brother Han would wear a wedding dress.

There was only Brother Han in the Yun Clan. The people from the second room of the Yun Clan had yet to arrive. Moreover, even if they did arrive, they were not familiar with the road and people in the capital. It was also inconvenient to go. In addition, they were going to the Lan Clan to marry the ugliest woman in the capital. After inquiring about it, they could not find anyone who matched their status.

When everyone heard that they were marrying Lan Shuya on behalf of the Yun Clan’s Eldest Young Master, they pushed this matter aside. Helplessly, Madam Lu could only think of a way to let Brother Han go.

Although Brother Han is a little younger, but Brother Han is the direct son of the Yun Clan! It could also be considered as a sign that the bride was attracted to him.

Moreover, with the direct son of the Yun Clan, it would be better for the butler to carry a chicken to welcome the wedding.

Of course, as for Brother Han greeting her eldest brother at such a young age, and welcoming the ugliest woman in the capital, wouldn’t that leave a shadow in her heart? Madam Lu couldn’t care about it anymore. She would deal with today’s greeting first.

When the maids in the Rose Courtyard saw Brother Han’s joyful clothes, they made a small face look even more cute. Although he insisted on a small face, he still couldn’t resist the soft and waxy feeling.

After sending Brother Han away, the maids in the Rose Courtyard went to do their own things.

An hour later, Rong Jin calculated that it was almost time for him to get up from the bed.

After tidying up the bed, he could not see that there was someone sleeping on the bed before, so he left the secret passage.

Of course, before he left, he had finally removed the acupoints that had stiffened at the end of Qing’s night.

Qing Mo stretched his muscles and bones, his face suddenly turning green and pale, and he hesitated a little. Rong Jin purposely made the bed, just not wanting Yun Xiao to know about his stay here last night.

Then should she tell Yun Xiao what Rong Jin had been here before?

After thinking for a while, she was now Yun Xiao’s personal maidservant, not Rong Jin’s hidden guard. Since she was Yun Xiao’s maidservant, she naturally had to think for Yun Xiao.
