Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 37
Chapter 037 Be Willing to Be a Wife
Under everyone’s expectant gaze, Shi Shi Ran walked in from outside the ancestral hall. This group of people had disordered footsteps and anxious expressions, but they were reluctant to leave too quickly because of their status.
When Yun Xiao saw the people who came, her eyes blinked slightly. She looked at Chun Mei who was kneeling beside her and instructed, “Chun Mei, get up and go get another bowl of medicine.”
Chun Mei’s clear eyes shone with tears, and her tone had never been so firm as at this moment, “Yes, young lady.”
She was originally a maidservant. She never thought that one day her master would be angry because she was slapped. She never thought that her master would slap her for her, and that she would be her master’s third sister!
In the past, the Third Young Lady wanted to bribe her to frame the Fourth Young Lady, but she had never been willing to do so. For this, she was also thorned in the eyes of the Third Young Lady. Every time she met her, she would have to punish her. She had endured all these pains.
Today, her fourth young miss was finally different from usual. Her fourth young miss had finally avenged her!
Even for this slap, she had to give up on the girl!
She resolutely stood up and walked out, her back straight, even the burning pain on her cheeks could not be felt.
Chun Lan’s gaze also fell on Yun Xiao. Her eyes were dense, and her expression became even more determined. Her family’s girl was finally different from before.
When Yun Xiao saw that the person outside had already walked in, she stuffed a porcelain bottle into Chun Lan’s sleeve and gave her a look.
Chun Lan looked at the medicine in her hand. Her body stiffened, but her heart became even more grateful. She bowed respectfully and said, “This servant will go see Chun Mei.”
Yun Xiao nodded. A group of people had already walked in. Yun Yao had already rushed out first. Li Ji wanted to stop her, but Yun Xiao stopped him instead.
Yun Yao looked at the anxious man walking in front of her. She originally wanted to lean into his embrace. She turned her eyes and threw herself into Madam Yuan’s embrace. “Grandmother, you have to make the decision for your granddaughter.”
After all, Madam Yuan was old. She couldn’t hold on for a while. She took two steps back before stabilizing her body. Her gaze turned to Shen Yingfan, who was standing beside her. “Yaoyao, don’t cry. If there’s anything you need to tell grandmother, grandmother will make the decision for you.”
At the side, Madam Sun looked at Yun Xiao at the door. A strong hatred burst out from her eyes. In the blink of an eye, she had already burst into tears. She took a handkerchief and covered her lips. “Mother, Yao Yao and I can only rely on you in Yun Clan. You have to make decisions for us mother and daughter. You can’t be bullied by outsiders in vain.”
Outsiders? You can really say it! Yun Xiao only sneered when she heard this, but she did not intend to stop him. Instead, she leisurely watched and wanted to see what the three of them looked like.
Mrs. Yuan’s expression was cold when she heard this. She pushed all the maids back, leaving only her trusted aides by her side. “Let’s talk first.”
Chun Lan took the medicine and entered the kitchen. First, she looked at Chun Mei’s face. Seeing that her cheeks had turned red and swollen, leaving behind five clear finger marks, she immediately gave the medicine to Chun Mei. “This is from the girl. Hurry up and apply the medicine. I’ll just bring it in.”
Chun Mei bit the corner of her lips and held the medicine in her hand. Tears also fell from her eyes. “It’s fine. There’s no harm in taking the medicine later. Let’s go in and take a look together.” Young lady was kind-hearted, but as a servant, she couldn’t be rude.
When Madam Yuan and the others entered the room, someone had already brought in a chair. After they sat down, they looked at the fragments and soups on the ground and snorted coldly, “What’s going on?”
She pretended to be quite similar, as if she really didn’t know about this. If she wanted to stay out of this matter, she had to see if she would allow it or not. Yun Xiao only chuckled and respectfully went forward to salute her. “Reporting to grandmother, granddaughter sent abortion medicine to third sister on father’s orders. Before coming, granddaughter had already told grandmother that grandmother wouldn’t be unaware of it.”
“Bastard! Don’t talk nonsense!” Madam Yuan did not expect Yun Xiao to say this, it was simply making him unable to step down.
On the contrary, Yun Xiao chuckled indifferently, “It doesn’t matter if granddaughter is spouting nonsense. This order was given by father, so granddaughter naturally has to obey it, or is father’s order no longer usable in Yun Mansion?”
Madam Sun took a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes. His patient and tactful voice carried a hint of pride, “Xiaoxiao, you are a junior. How can you talk to an elder like this?”
Yun Xiao curled her lower lip slightly, her dark and calm eyes emitting a faint cold light. “Then how did Second Mother talk to Grandmother?”
After saying this, Shi Shi Ran respectfully walked in from outside the door. Chun Mei and Chun Lan were both holding a bowl of medicine in their hands. When Yun Yao saw the bowl of medicine, a trace of fear appeared in her eyes. “Grandmother, quickly save me. I don’t want to drink fetal medicine.”
Biting the corner of her lips, Yun Yao turned around and looked at the man at the side. Her clear phoenix eyes carried a trace of grievance. A few tears rolled in her eyes. Finally, a tear slowly fell from the corner of her eyes, leaving a water mark on her fair cheek. It was indescribably charming.
Shen Yingfan looked at her eyebrows and felt her heart soften. “Yun Yao is pregnant with my child. She is from our Shen Clan. Who dares to touch the child in her belly?”
He really was deeply affectionate and didn’t regret it! Yun Xiao only said with a calm expression, “Third Sister is not a member of the Shen Clan even before she marries into the Shen Clan. What does Young Master Shen mean by this? Or is it that Young Master Shen has already publicly announced in the capital that you and Third Sister gave each other private gifts before they got married, and Zhu Tai is secretly married?”
Naturally, he wouldn’t say that, otherwise, his career would be over! He fiercely stared at the woman standing in the middle. She stood there like that, with a smile on her lips and clear eyes. For some unknown reason, at this moment, his heart actually moved, “You!”
Yun Xiao, on the other hand, had already turned around and instructed Chun Mei to deliver the medicine. She did not even look at him. Her smile was very gentle, but it made people feel that her body was slowly stiffening. “Third sister, since grandmother and Young Master Shen have both come, let’s watch you drink the medicine together.”
Yun Yao looked at the smiling woman and felt that her limbs were a little stiff. “Grandmother, I don’t want to drink medicine. I don’t want to drink medicine.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and begged Shen Yingfan, “Young Master Shen, this is our child. How can you be indifferent and pity my child?”
When Shen Yingfan heard this, his face turned green and pale. “Yun Xiao, don’t you just hate me for marrying your third sister? Do you need to be so ruthless?”
Yun Xiao blinked her black and white eyes, and her face was filled with doubt, “Did Young Master Shen marry my third sister? But why didn’t I see the matchmaker’s words from my parents? On the contrary, I learned from my father that the Shen Clan only wants third sister to be a concubine. Our Shen Clan’s girl has absolutely no reason to be a concubine!”
That was how the Shen Clan formed hatred and made Yun Yao feel embarrassed when she was born! Shen Yingfan knew about this matter, but now he chose to ignore it. He only looked at Yun Xiao with hatred, “I will soon convince mother to marry the third girl.” It should be an embarrassment to the woman in front of him!
Yun Xiao did not seem to notice the anger in Shen Yingfan’s eyes. Shi Shi Ran said, “That’s Young Master Shen’s matter. Third sister is still from Yun Clan. When a woman marries in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, she has to have Nacai, Wen Ming, Na Ji, Na Zheng, Invitation Period, and greet the six ceremonies. May I ask which ceremony Young Master Shen completed?” “Besides, Big Sister and Second Sister will not return to the capital until after the New Year. Their ages are orderly. Daddy will never let Third Sister get married so early.”
After saying that, Yun Xiao only chuckled, “Li Ji, Third Sister won’t listen to my advice. Do you think you’re the one who did it? Or should I report it to Daddy?”
Li Ji hadn’t spoken since he entered the ancestral hall of the Cloud Mansion. He was nominated at this time and bowed, “This subordinate, do it.”
After he finished speaking, he immediately called two ladies in. The two ladies couldn’t help but step forward to pull Yun Yao out of Madam Yuan’s embrace. Yun Yao didn’t expect Yun Xiao to be so bold. She couldn’t help but hug Madam Yuan’s arm and said, “Grandmother, save me, grandmother …”
Yuan shi knew Li Ji’s weight. He had been by Yun Maozhe’s side since childhood and was loyal to his son. Now that he had come forward, this matter was already certain, and she was powerless to stop him.
The two women dragged Yun Yao out, and Chun Mei immediately took a step forward. A woman brought a bowl of medicine to Yun Yao’s mouth.
Yun Yao’s expression changed drastically, but now, her hands and feet were all bound. No, she hadn’t lost yet! She turned to look at Shen Yingfan, who was not far away, her eyes carrying a trace of pleading. Her tearful expression made people unable to bear it.
Shen Yingfan couldn’t sit still anymore. She got up from her seat and walked to Yun Yao in three steps. With a wave of her hand, she knocked down the medicine bowl in her hand. Yun Yao, Madam Yuan Madam Sun and the others heaved a sigh of relief. Only Shen Yingfan could protect the child now.
Madam Yuan and Madam Sun looked at Yun Xiao angrily, wishing they could get rid of it quickly. However, when they saw Yun Xiao’s expression, they were all stunned.
Yun Xiao leisurely looked at Shen Yingfan with a faint smile in her eyes. Shen Yingfan took large strides in front of Chun Lan and knocked over the medicine in Chun Lan’s hand. She stood in front of Yun Yao and glared at Yun Xiao angrily, “Yun Xiao, you bitch!” “If you dare to be disrespectful to Yao Yao, I will definitely let you know your identity. I will marry Yao Yao as my wife. I think you still dare to touch her!”
When Shen Yingfan said those words, everyone in the room heaved a sigh of relief. Yun Yao’s gaze towards Yun Xiao became slightly proud. As long as Shen Yingfan was willing to marry her, Yun Xiao would definitely not dare to continue embarrassing herself! He had to hurry up and curry favor with himself!
Yun Xiao only smiled faintly. She smiled very happily and gently. However, when Shen Yingfan looked at that smile, he did not know why he felt a slight fear in his heart. “What are you laughing at?”
Yun Xiao looked at Shen Yingfan quietly. “I just wanted to congratulate Young Master Shen.” “Since Young Master Shen is willing to marry Third Sister, I will naturally give Young Master Shen some face. Granddaughter will leave first.”
After she finished speaking, she brought her maidservant and Li Ji out, leaving behind a room full of confused people.
When they walked out of the ancestral hall, Chun Mei and Chun Lan looked at Yun Xiao in surprise. They also didn’t understand why the young lady had not been ordered by her master to leave even though the mission wasn’t complete.
Chun Lan bit her lips and continued to take a step forward, “Miss, what’s wrong with you?” After making such a big commotion, Third Young Lady had fallen into decline, while Fourth Young Lady had instead fallen into a stench. Why was this?
Yun Xiao was in a good mood at this moment, and she did not blame him. “Third sister is after all father’s daughter.” No matter how ruthless father was, he was unwilling to let Yun Yao be his concubine. Therefore, today was a trap set by him and father. This trap was set by him personally. The purpose was naturally for Shen Yingfan to see.
Suddenly, she recalled a charming and mocking voice in her mind. “Fourth sister, Brother Han was taken away from Shangyuan Festival by Mother and I. So what if you are the daughter of the first wife?”
Thinking back to the past, she clenched her hands tightly, but was unwilling to continue explaining. As for the child in Yun Yao’s stomach, whether she could give birth or not was a different matter!
She raised her head to look at the sky and hid the tears in her eyes. Yunyao, I want you to live well and taste the pain you have inflicted on me!
