Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 380

Chapter 380 Rong Jin Asked
In the main hall, there were only Yun Maozhe, Lu Clan, Yun Xiao, and the six people from the second room of the Yun Clan.

The gazes of several people landed on Yun Xiao, wanting to wait for Yun Xiao to make a decision.

Yun Maozhe frowned and did not relax at all. He walked down from the throne to Yun Xiao’s side and said with a worried expression, “Xiaoxiao, even if we don’t want to marry, we can’t offend the royal family.”

Refusing to marry the royal family wasn’t rebelling against the prestige of the Tian Clan.

At that time, if the Jin Emperor was unhappy, he might directly decapitate everyone from the Yun Clan and show them to the public.

However, Yun Xiao could not marry into the royal family, and now she was really in a dilemma.

Yun Xiao did not know what to do at this moment. Her mind was in a mess. She thought for a long time and came up with an idea. She continued to write on the paper, “Daddy, let go of my current blind and deaf-mute situation. I hope that the Jin Emperor hears of my current situation and will not allow me to marry into the royal family.”

No matter what, a prince and concubine would not be like Yun Xiao, so Yun Xiao only wanted to let the Jin Emperor retreat.

Yun Maozhe furrowed his brows tightly, and a strange expression appeared in his eyes. He had to first release the news according to Yun Xiao’s wishes. As for the Jin Emperor who wanted Yun Xiao to marry Zhou Jingyan, the Yun Clan really had no other choice.

But now, Yun Xiao’s method was also a good one.

Yun Maozhe thought for a moment and ordered the butler to let this matter go.

Of course, Yun Maozhe also sent someone to the next room to specifically tell Rong Jin about the matter of the Jin Emperor’s marrying Yun Xiao. If Rong Jin knew, he would definitely make some moves. Since Rong Jin liked Yun Xiao, he should also come up with a plan for this matter.

Thinking of this, Yun Maozhe had a faint glimmer of hope.

However, at this moment, a maidservant came to report that Lan Shuya was here.

Everyone furrowed their brows tightly. Previously, Lan Shuya looked like she was going to die or live. They didn’t expect that she would be able to come out in such a short period of time. She was already injured and was running around. Everyone’s expressions were extremely unhappy.

Yun Maozhe could only return to his main seat and have Lan Shuya invited in.

Lan Shuya wore an aqua blue dress today. The dress was embroidered with lotus flowers. As they walked, the lotus flowers swayed back and forth as if they were alive. They were dressed in the same solemn manner as well. They were worn close to a bun, and two lanolin jade hairpins were inserted diagonally into their hair. Both hairpins were inlaid with two large luminous pearls that emitted a faint glow under the night sky.

She wore a water blue Mu Li hat on her face, which matched her dress perfectly.

Lan Shuya leisurely walked over. This outfit did not allow anyone to imagine her miserable appearance a few days ago.

However, the Yun Clan’s faces were filled with worry. Although the Yun Clan had a lot of wealth, they usually liked to be simple and elegant. Seeing Lan Shuya dressed so carefully, a wisp of unworried expression appeared in their hearts.

But Lan Shuya didn’t seem to feel anything. She walked in and bowed respectfully, “Daughter-in-law greets father and mother.”

Yun Maozhe graciously said, showing his lack of interest. Although Madam Lu did not like the way she was dressed, she could not bear to embarrass Lan Shuya when she thought about what had happened before. She said kindly, “Get up, you are not well. Why aren’t you resting in the house? Why aren’t you coming out?”

Lan Shuya’s watery eyes shone with a faint light as she whispered, “I just heard that the deputy steward of Imperial Kitchen has come. It seems to be related to the marriage of our fourth young miss. Since it is said by the people of Imperial Kitchen, fourth sister’s husband’s family is definitely not bad, so Ya’er came to congratulate fourth sister.”

Previously, she had called Yun Xiao’s cousin for so long, but now it was different. She was now the Yun Clan’s eldest young lady. According to the seniority of the Yun Clan, Yun Xiao wanted to call her sister-in-law.

However, her words caused the faces of the people in the room to darken even more.

Lan Shuya’s watery eyes were filled with hatred. She carefully lowered her eyebrows and concealed all her thoughts. Then she said, “Mother, what’s wrong with you guys? Could it be that fourth sister’s husband’s family is not good?”

Madam Lu glanced at Lan Shuya and felt that Lan Shuya was also from Yun Clan now. It was good to tell her about this matter. She whispered, “The deputy steward of Imperial Kitchen just said that the Third Prince wanted to marry Xiaoxiao like the Jin Emperor.”

“What?” After Lan Shuya heard this, her eyes unconsciously widened. Her eyes were filled with jealousy, envy, and anger.

She was clearly the number one beauty. Yun Xiao had even said before that if she married into the royal family, she would introduce her. But now, she had married into Yun Clan as a widow, yet Yun Xiao was the person the Third Prince personally asked to marry?

How ironic!

The more Lan Shuya thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. If it weren’t for the fact that the situation wasn’t right now, she would have scolded Yun Xiao.

It turned out that she had already hooked up with the Third Prince, but she was still acting in front of her, making her feel that she was superior. Who knew that she was treated like a clown?

Why did he say that he would marry her into the Yun Clan for her own good? It turned out that he was paving the way for her. He was afraid that after she married into the royal family, she would win her favor.

The more Lan Shuya thought about it, the more she felt that Yun Xiao was really scheming.

“Ya’er, what kind of miracle is this?” Madam Lu frowned when she saw that Lan Shuya’s expression was not right. She felt that she did not like Lan Shuya any more.

When Lan Shuya heard Madam Lu’s voice, she immediately stopped her hatred and said, “I’m just happy for fourth sister. Being able to marry into the royal family is something that no one can ask for!”

She wanted to marry into the royal family, but now that she was called the Yun Clan’s Young Madam, she was no longer fated to be married to the royal family.

Madam Lu sighed, feeling even more troubled. “Don’t say these words to your fourth sister. Your fourth sister doesn’t want to marry into the royal family now. We are also worried about this.”

Madam Lu’s words made Lan Shuya want to rush forward immediately and slap Yun Xiao a few times.

How happy is it to marry into the royal family? She actually didn’t want to go?

Perhaps he was pretending to be reserved?

However, Lan Shuya faintly had a glimmer of hope in her heart. He immediately said, “Mother, since fourth sister is unwilling to marry, but the royal marriage is not something that ordinary people can reject. Why don’t we find someone to marry instead? If someone exposes her afterwards, we’ll say that third sister is gone. Fourth sister is now the third oldest in the family. Only a goddaughter is Yun Clan’s fourth daughter.”

Lan Shuya said happily, wishing she could just say that she wanted me to marry on her behalf.

However, she also knew that she was the Yun Clan’s eldest young madam. However, being able to marry into the royal family was also an opportunity. At that time, as long as she temporarily replaced the person she was marrying with her, Zhou Jingyan would not have a chance to return the goods!

This was also the only way she could escape from the Yun Clan. Thinking of this, Lan Shuya’s eyes became strange.

Unfortunately, her thoughts were very good. Madam Lu had broken all her thoughts with just a single sentence. “No, this method is to deceive the superior and conceal the inferior. If the Emperor really pursues this matter, the Yun Clan will be doomed to death.” The most important thing was that the royal family was not that easy to fool.

However, Lan Shuya did not give up. She wanted to continue, but she heard Butler Li’s voice from outside. “Master, someone has come from the palace. He said that he wants to bring the fourth young lady into the palace.”

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat. Cao Bingrong had just sneaked over to inform the Yun Clan about the Third Prince’s request to marry Yun Xiao. Not long after, someone came from the Imperial Palace. Needless to say, the matter of taking Yun Xiao into the palace was definitely related to this matter.

Madam Lu was so shocked that she almost stood up. Madam Yu immediately grabbed Madam Lu and comforted her softly, “Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid. If there is anything else, we should wait for Xiaoxiao to go to the Imperial Palace. Perhaps there is still room for improvement in this matter.”

Although the chances were slim, everyone was still unwilling to give up just like that.

Qing Mo told Yun Xiao everything. Yun Xiao nodded and signaled to Qing Mo, then she heard Qing Mo say, “Miss said that since someone came from the Imperial Palace, you can’t refuse this matter. You have to go back and change your clothes and enter the palace first.”

Madam Lu nodded her head, “Alright,” if she refused to enter the palace because she was afraid of entering, then the entire Yun Clan would be charged with bullying the Sovereign.

The corner of Lan Shuyamu’s lips curled up slightly. Even though she said loudly, “Mother, I’ll send fourth sister off first.” She was still unwilling to lose the chance to get in front of her, so she wanted to fight for it again.

Originally, she had made up her mind about Yun Maozhe, but Yun Maozhe was already a Wind Year Partial Candle. How could he compare to Zhou Jingyan, who was in his prime and was also the prince of a country?

Madam Lu did not agree with her words, which did not mean that Yun Xiao did not agree with her words either.

Lan Shuya immediately chased after him and shouted from afar, “Fourth sister, wait for me.”

However, Yun Xiao did not stop. Lan Shuya was furious in her heart. She hurriedly trotted to catch up and grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand and wrote, “Fourth sister, I have something to say to you.”

Ever since Yun Xiao heard Lan Shuya’s words that night, her heart rejected her even more. Previously, she had heard Lan Shuya’s words clearly in the main hall. She, who had been with Lan Shuya for two lifetimes, naturally knew what Lan Shuya was thinking.

Didn’t he just want to marry Zhou Jingyan on her behalf? A faint mockery appeared in Lan Shuya’s eyes. “There is a father-in-law waiting outside. What does sister-in-law have to say? Let’s talk about it when I come back from the palace.”

After she finished writing, she turned around and left with Qing Mo without hesitation.

Lan Shuya looked at Yun Xiao’s decisive figure and clenched her hands tightly under her wide sleeve. “Yun Xiao, don’t be complacent for too long! One day, I’ll make you kneel down and beg me!”

After Yun Xiao entered the Rose Courtyard, a trace of exhaustion finally appeared on her tense face. She pushed the door open and entered, but fell into a familiar embrace. Yun Xiao took a few greedy breaths, but did not push him away.

Just let her be willful.

Rong Jin stared at Yun Xiao’s palm-sized face. After a long time, he asked, “Are you really going to marry Zhou Jingyan?”
