Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 395

Chapter 395 Shu Ya Made Her Move
Everyone in the room tied up their ears with joy.

Now that Young Master Rong has come to the Yun Clan to hire him, it is already a joyous occasion. Is there anything else?

Everyone tied their ears and listened to the commotion outside. Many people’s attention was attracted by Butler Li’s words.

However, Yun Xiao did not care about Steward Li. She had already guessed that she was overjoyed by what Steward Li had said. Now, she was even more interested in the betrothal gift Rong Jin had given her.

I didn’t expect that there would be so many things in this box.

Remembering what Rong Jin said before he left today, he was pleasantly surprised today. It seemed that he was talking about his hiring. However, Yun Xiao never expected that Rong Jin would actually hire all of his wealth. In other words, all of Rong Jin’s things would be hers in the future?

Yun Xiao probed it tentatively and felt something strange in her heart. There was also a trace of surprise between her eyebrows and eyes, and a trace of disbelief in her heart, as if she was in a dream.

In his heart, he repeatedly asked himself, Rong Jin actually used all of his status to hire him?

Madam Lu was also shocked by Rong Jin’s actions. Thinking of how Rong Jin treated Yun Xiao like this, coupled with how Rong Jin usually treated Yun Xiao very well, she was even more certain in her heart that Rong Jin really liked them.

She stepped forward and immediately held Yun Xiao’s hand. Tears appeared in her eyes. After taking these things away, Xiao Xiao would soon get married. It would be very difficult for her to see her daughter again. “Xiao Xiao, what do you think now?”

Previously, she had seen that Yun Xiao was somewhat unwilling to marry Rong Jin, but now, did she not know that Yun Xiao had changed her mind?

Yun Xiaohui held Madam Lu’s hands and nodded. In Madam Lu’s hand, she wrote, “It’s all up to Mother.”

Because of the marriage bestowed by the Jin Emperor, even if she was unwilling to marry, the betrothal gift could not be returned.

Moreover, it was impossible for Yun Xiao not to be tempted by so many betrothal gifts!

Moreover, what she liked the most now was to take care of things. Now, these things had really been sent to her heart.

However, what Yun Xiao was worried about was that after the Lantern Festival, Rong Jin was about to leave. He was afraid that he would not be able to marry her. At that time, he did not know if he would want these things back. If he did not go back, then it would be his.

Yun Xiao made up her mind that when Rong Jin came back tonight, she must ask him properly.

However, Yun Xiao did not notice that in her heart, she was faintly expecting Rong Jin to arrive tonight.

Housekeeper Li had already arrived at the main hall. The conversation between Yunxiao and Madam Lu had to be suspended. Housekeeper Li panted and said, “Eunuch Wei has personally come to issue the imperial edict. He said that the Emperor has made our fourth young miss county princess of Anping.”

Everyone was shocked when this was said.

The Jin Emperor actually made Yun Xiao county princess? Such a thing was too unexpected.

However, at this moment, Eunuch Wei has already arrived at the main courtyard. He looks at the people in the main hall with a smile and congratulates Yun Maozhe, “Congratulations, Master Yun, Master He Xiyun. We are truly envious of the appearance of a girl like the Fourth Young Lady in the manor.”

Yun Maozhe was prepared and congratulated Eunuch Wei a few times. However, he usually talked a lot with people in the mall. Now, he felt that today was like a pie falling from the sky. He suddenly smashed into their Yun Clan.

“Eunuch Wei is really killing me.”

The two complimented each other. When Eunuch Wei saw that Yun Xiao was also here and the matchmaker was there, he immediately knew that this was a joyous occasion. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect to meet someone under Young Master Rong today. I really want to congratulate Old Master Yun on his double happiness.”

Yun Maozhe could only forcefully compliment Eunuch Wei, and he was even more curious about the imperial edict in Eunuch Wei’s hand.

Eunuch Wei didn’t have much time to appease everyone. Even though he said, “Since everyone is here today, let’s receive the decree first.”

Inside and outside the Yun Clan, everyone knelt down. Eunuch Wei unleashed the imperial edict and read it out loud. He then expressed Yun Xiao and said that Yun Xiao had done a great service to the Jin Emperor. He was named county princess of Anping!

However, just as Eunuch Wei finished speaking, a crisp cracking sound suddenly sounded. With a “pa” sound, everyone could hear it clearly in such a quiet room.

Eunuch Wei frowned slightly, pretending that he didn’t hear anything. However, his sharp gaze still looked in the direction of the voice. Then, he personally walked in front of Yun Xiao and personally handed the imperial edict to Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao allowed Qing Mo and Chun Lan to help her up and bowed towards Eunuch Wei.

Yun Maozhe immediately had someone seal Eunuch Wei with a huge red packet, and then he sent Eunuch Wei away.

As soon as Eunuch Wei left, Matchmaker Yao immediately walked in front of Yun Xiao and greeted her. “Congratulations, county princess. This old woman will congratulate the county princess first.”

Yun Xiao smiled and replied, asking someone to give Matchmaker Yao a thank-you gift. When Matchmaker Yao saw that this thank-you gift was much more valuable than before, she became even more respectful towards Yun Xiao.

After letting go of the outsider, Yun Xiao looked in the direction where the voice came from before. A harsh expression flashed across her small face. Qing Mo had already told her that when Eunuch Wei finished reading the imperial edict, Lan Shuya had dropped the bracelet on her wrist.

At this moment, the Yun Family all congratulated Yun Xiao, but Lan Shuya, who was watching this scene from the side, felt deeply pierced into her heart.

Now, the Yun Clan had married someone who loved and doted on her so much that they didn’t hesitate to use all of their status as betrothal gifts. This already showed that even if Yun Xiao couldn’t marry a prince, her future life would definitely be more noble than being a royal concubine.

Now, the Jin Emperor had conferred the title of county princess on her. She was now a woman with status, status, and power in the capital, and she was also the most valuable person.

Compared to her, her status was even more humble.

Moreover, ever since Yun Xiao entered the main courtyard, everyone had never placed their eyes on her.

The personal maidservant secretly picked up the bracelet that Lan Shuya had broken. Looking at the madness flickering in Lan Shuya’s eyes, she lowered her head even lower.

After everyone in the Yun Clan congratulated Yun Xiao, Madam Lu walked over to Lan Shuya and whispered, “Ya’er, I believe you didn’t mean what happened today. However, don’t do it again in the future.”

Lan Shuya’s bracelet shattered. Although her movements were very small, even Eunuch Wei noticed that it was her. How could the Yun Family not notice?

Wasn’t throwing the bracelet in front of Eunuch Wei a sign of dissatisfaction with the Jin Emperor? The slightest carelessness would lead to a life-threatening disaster. Fortunately, Eunuch Wei didn’t care.

Hearing Madam Lu’s words, Lan Shuya tightly clenched her hands under her wide sleeves. The intense pain from her fingernails made her slightly sober. Now was not the time to fight with the Yun Family, she still had to rely on Yun Clan.

He pulled out a faint smile and whispered, “Thank you, mother, for believing in me. It was an unintentional mistake today. There is absolutely no intention of disrespecting His Majesty.”

Madam Lu gave a kindness and withdrew her gaze. There was a trace of worry in her eyes. Right now, the Jin Emperor’s favor, the Yun Clan, had blocked the Yun Clan at the forefront of the storm. Although it seemed like a good thing, Madam Lu felt that something was wrong in her heart. However, she could not say it out loud.

Lan Shuya saw Madam Lu’s indifferent attitude towards her and bit her lips. She walked forward and grabbed Yun Xiao’s hands. She took off a lanolin jade bracelet from her wrist and whispered, “Fourth sister, I didn’t mean to. The bracelet accidentally fell out. I hope fourth sister won’t take offense.”

Yun Xiao only smiled at her and withdrew her gaze.

Ever since she found out that Lan Shuya had that thought, Yun Xiao had no good impression of Lan Shuya and did not want to say a word.

Yun Xiao rubbed her eyebrows, indicating that she was a little tired. Chun Lan immediately understood what Yun Xiao meant and said softly, “Madam, county princess is a little tired. This servant will help the girl to rest first.”

Madam Lu gave a kind word and gave a good warning. Only then did she let the maidservant help Yun Xiao leave. Of course, this time, when Yun Xiao left, she also brought the betrothal gift Rong Jin had given her.

According to Madam Lu’s words, this betrothal gift was for Xiaoxiao. It was Rong Jin’s intention, so she gave full authority to Yunxiao to take care of it and refused to join Duke Zhonggong.

Of course, no one from the Yun Family would object.

After Yun Xiao returned to the Rose Courtyard, she instructed people to settle all the things in the big box. The specific assets could not be calculated because the amount was too large, especially those shops and property.

Yun Xiao had a headache. She put away all the property rooms and shops. She could not see the ledger and was not interested in reading it anymore.

She waited in the room for an entire afternoon. Even though lunch and dinner were served in her own room, Rong Jin did not show up until it was dark.

Yun Xiao sat at the side of the table and rubbed her somewhat painful wrist. She did not know what Rong Jin was doing. If it was normal, he would have already come by this time, but he had not come yet.

Yun Xiao’s eyes involuntarily twitched. Her right eye twitched. Yun Xiao was slightly frightened. Could it be that something had happened to Rong Jin?

When she thought this, her expression became a little abnormal.

Rong Jin’s skill is excellent, so he should be fine, right?

However, if nothing happened, then where did he go? Why aren’t you here yet?

Yun Xiao was thinking of him, but she didn’t see any news from him. She was worried but also a little angry.

What kind of place did he think she was? Come whenever you want, don’t you want to come without a single greeting?

Thinking of this, Yunxiao felt even more relieved. There was still a slight fear in her heart. She couldn’t help but wonder if Rong Jin had returned to Country of Xiyue directly instead of after the Lantern Festival.

Just as Yun Xiao was feeling depressed, someone knocked on the door. Yun Xiao immediately calmed down and said loudly, “Come in!”

Qing Mo quickly walked in and respectfully said to Yun Xiao, “Miss, Lan Shuya has already made her move.”

Yun Xiao’s expression changed slightly. She unconsciously clenched her hands tightly. In the end, she could not wait any longer.
