Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 415
Chapter 415 Research Array
On the fifth day of the first year of the year, when everyone thought that the Yun Clan had been tragically annihilated and that no one was alive, the Yun Clan’s people returned.
The four carriages stopped at the entrance of the Yun Clan. Yun Maozhe and his wife got off the first carriage. Yun Xiao and Brother Han sat in the second carriage. The third carriage was Second Master Yun and Madam Yu. The fourth carriage was Yun Xi and Yun Min. As for Third Young Master Yun’s two brothers, they were naturally riding horses.
The news of the Yun Clan’s people returning alive immediately alarmed the entire capital. Many people came to watch and inquire about how the Yun Clan managed to escape death.
However, the Yun Family only chuckled and did not say anything.
Yun Xiao was still being supported down by the maidservant. Her face was terribly pale, causing everyone’s hearts to ache.
After the Yun Clan entered the Yun Clan, they realized that half of the Yun Clan’s guards were missing. However, those dead people had already been dealt with, and many places in the Yun Clan had been destroyed.
The family did not go to the main courtyard. They remembered that they almost died in the main courtyard on New Year’s Eve, so they sealed the main courtyard and went to the Lu Clan’s courtyard temporarily. Seeing this, Yun Maozhe let out a long sigh. “Those guardians are too pitiful. They are buried. Besides, give each guardian’s family enough pension.”
No one refuted these words, and Butler Li immediately sent someone to deal with them.
After dealing with this matter, Yun Maozhe asked, “Where are Old Madame and Madam Sun now?”
“Old Madame and Mrs. Sun both said that their health is not good, so if they want to go back to the courtyard to recover from their injuries, this old servant can only ask someone to send them back.” Butler Li’s voice was very respectful. However, there was also a trace of dissatisfaction. Yun Clan had become like this now. Madam Yuan and Madam Sun treated the family as if they were already dead. Not only did they not deal with Yun Clan’s affairs, they even brought many good things back to the courtyard. The people who heard the report said that Old Madame and Madam Sun were actually celebrating the death of the fourth young lady.
He had never seen such a ruthless person.
Housekeeper Li did not say these words to Yun Maozhe. At this time, it was not appropriate to say that everyone had survived the calamity. They had only been recuperating in Rong Jin’s courtyard for the past few days. Their bodies were still not well. After saying these words, they all felt tired. However, they still managed to keep their spirits up. Yun Maozhe saw this and asked everyone to return to their courtyard to rest. As for the Yun Clan’s matters, they would discuss it properly in the future.
After everyone left, Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu talked about Yun Xiao’s marriage. In the past few days, they had always felt that Rong Jin’s status was extraordinary. Was it the right choice for Xiao Xiao to marry Rong Jin?
After saying a few words, he saw a guard rushing in. He bowed respectfully to everyone before saying, “Master, Eunuch Wei is here.”
Yun Maozhe was slightly stunned, “Why is Eunuch Wei here?”
“I heard that he has received His Majesty’s order to visit the Fourth Young Lady. Eunuch Wei has already been taken to the Rose Courtyard.”
Yun Maozhe’s expression was calm as he immediately said, “I’ll go take a look.” When Madam Lu saw this, she also wanted to follow him to take a look. She did not know what had happened.
…
In the Rose Courtyard, Yun Xiao was once again lying on the bed with Qing Mo’s help. She had not been able to leave Rong Jin’s courtyard for the past few days because although the poison in her body had been removed, her body had always been weak. She had been there to nurse her body. By the way, Rong Jin was also diagnosing and treating her eyes.
Of course, Rong Jin had to use the same method that day every time he treated his eyes, but in the end, Yun Xiao refused.
After five days of treatment, Yun Xiao’s eyes still hadn’t recovered the slightest bit. Yun Xiao also gave up hope that her eyes could restore her sight. However, since Rong Jin had been persisting, it was not easy for her to interrupt. She decided to let Rong Jin continue treating her.
Just as she lay down, Yun Xiao had Qing Mo tell her everything that had happened in the capital over the past few days. Only then did she know that the Jin Emperor had actually given Xiao Yuqi and Zhou Jingyan a marriage.
Setting Xiao Yuqi and the Third Prince’s imperial concubine was a joyous occasion, but it was not a joyous occasion for Yun Xiao.
She frowned and continued to listen to Qing Mo. “Our people have already found out that Xiao Yuqi was kidnapped on New Year’s Eve. However, we don’t know who kidnapped her. Xiao Yuqi was poisoned by her little master. Although she didn’t die, she is still ill in bed now. According to the news, Xiao Yuqi needs to rest for a year before she can truly recover.”
When Yun Xiao heard this news, she frowned and sighed. Xiao Yuqi could be considered to have repaid her kindness.
Since Xiao Yuqi wanted to cultivate for a year, in other words, she could be safer this year. Of course, with Zhou Jingyan eyeing her covetously, the Yun Clan would not be safe anywhere.
At this moment, he heard the noise of footsteps coming from outside and frowned. Not long after, he heard a maidservant come in. “Young lady, Eunuch Wei is here.”
Yun Xiao blinked her eyes and the corner of her mouth curled into a mocking smile. Not long after she returned, the Jin Emperor found out the news and sent Eunuch Wei. Obviously, he had been sending people to monitor the Yun Clan.
Eunuch Wei came in, carrying a large box behind him. After entering, he respectfully greeted Yun Xiao, “Greetings, county princess.”
Yun Xiao stretched out her hand to make Eunuch Wei stand up. She was not sensitive to the title of county princess. What county princess, what favor, she just wanted to push the Yun Clan to the top of the storm and let the Yun Clan die.
He was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn’t say these words in front of Eunuch Wei. He coughed weakly twice before saying, “Eunuch Wei, hurry up, my broken body is actually still working for Eunuch Wei. Doesn’t it make me feel sorry in my heart?”
“The county princess is a yellow princess. His Majesty is worried about the county princess. He specifically instructed this old servant to come and visit. May I know how the fourth young miss is now?”
“It’s better. It’s just that this body is too weak. I don’t know when I can get out of bed and walk again.”
Eunuch Wei waved his hand and a navy-green-robed eunuch came in. He held all the precious medicinal ingredients in his hands and said respectfully, “Your Majesty knows that the county princess is not well, so I specially ordered this old servant to bring these supplements to visit the county princess. I hope that the county princess will recover soon. However, on New Year’s Eve, I wonder how the county princess and the people from Yun Clan escaped?” “Did you recognize the murderer?”
“Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness” She said as she struggled to get up. However, before she could do anything, she coughed violently. Even though Duke Wei Gongli had advised her to stop coughing, she smiled and said, “County princess, there’s no need to be anxious. Just speak carefully.”
Seeing this, Yun Xiao could only spin nonsense, saying that they were saved by the people of the Ten Directions Palace and left them in the house. Because they were all injured, they never came back.
Seeing that Eunuch Wei’s eyes lit up when he heard about the Ten Directions Palace, Yun Xiao immediately put aside the relationship between Yun Clan and the Ten Directions Palace.
Eunuch Wei said a few more words before saying, “This old servant came here today not only to visit the county princess, but also to give the county princess a generous gift.”
Yun Xiao had some interest in this.
After hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Eunuch Wei’s large box was immediately pushed open and he said loudly, “Wood!”
When Yun Xiao heard this voice, she knew that it was Zhou Jingxu. A smile unconsciously appeared on her face. She struggled to get up and salute Zhou Jingxu, but Zhou Jingxu pressed her hand down and sat down.
The two of them chatted for a while before Yun Maozhe and Madam Lu entered and invited Eunuch Wei out to entertain them. Only then could Yun Xiao and Zhou Jingxu really speak a few words.
Although Zhou Jingxu had heard Yun Xiao’s words before, he was even more interested in how Yun Xiao would protect herself before the people from the Ten Directions Palace came.
Yun Xiao could only tell her about the formation that Zhou Jingxu had taught her in his previous life. Zhou Jingxu’s eyes lit up, “I didn’t expect that I would save you in the end!”
Yun Xiao also chuckled and said, “Yes, thanks to that formation.”
Seeing this, Zhou Jingxu immediately smiled and said, “Since this formation is useful, I will teach you a few more. You must remember them well.”
The two of them talked about the formation for a long time in the room. Zhou Jingxu saw that Yun Xiao’s face was getting paler and paler, so he couldn’t bear it any longer. “Mu Tou, you can rest first. I’ll see you another day. If you’re interested, I’ll bring you a book on the formation another day …”
After he finished saying this, he felt that he had said the wrong thing. After sending the book over, Yun Xiao couldn’t see it again, and the book became useless.
Yun Xiao recognized Zhou Jingxu’s disappointment and chuckled, “Alright, I can find a maidservant to read it to me.”
Zhou Jingxu felt a trace of heartache in his eyes. He couldn’t help but reach out and touch Yun Xiao’s eyes. He said with an embarrassed expression, “Is your eyes really hopeless?”
“Let nature take its course. Actually, it’s good that you can’t see anything like this.” Yun Xiao said in relief. The corner of her mouth also revealed a faint smile. Without her eyes, she wouldn’t need to see something that she couldn’t accept.
Outside, Eunuch Wei saw that it was almost time, so he came to urge Zhou Jingxu to leave. Although Zhou Jingxu was reluctant, he still had to leave.
One afternoon, Yun Xiao was lying on the bed and resting. However, not long after Zhou Jingyan returned, he had someone send him a book on formations. Yun Xiao had Qing Mo read it to him, and in the afternoon, she thought about formations and spent an afternoon pondering it.
Knowing that this thing was useful, Yun Xiao was more diligent than ever, because she had the foundation Zhou Jingxu had told her in her previous life. Although learning it was difficult, she felt that it was much simpler.
However, it was extremely troublesome to think about this thing. If it wasn’t for Qing Mo’s inability to see it and his constant urging, Yun Xiao wouldn’t have stopped.
After dinner, Yun Xiao was still bored. She could only place all her thoughts on the formation and continue to study. Qing Mo and Chun Lan shook their heads as they looked at it and said in their hearts that Yun Xiao was stunned.
Zhou Jingxu was even more resentful in his heart. If it weren’t for him, the girl would have been resting now, so there was no need to worry so much.
Just as Yun Xiao felt that she was about to master a formation, she suddenly felt a strange aura appear beside her. She could even feel the strange gaze coming from the front, and her body tensed up. Then, she said softly, “You’re here.”
