Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 43
Chapter 043 Be Attacked Late at Night
When Yun Xiao changed her clothes and walked out, she had already returned to her outfit when she left the manor. Just as she sat down, Rong Ruo’s small body had already returned to her embrace. “Can you send your cold beauty to my private room to wait? My maid has returned, so she will be here.”
There were Crown Prince Zhou Jingchen, Third Prince Zhou Jingyan, and County Lord Huining in the restaurant. If anyone knew that they had disappeared without a trace, they would definitely be suspected.
Leng Beauty said with a frosty expression, “No need, the two maids of the Fourth Young Lady have already been knocked unconscious by me. When she wakes up, she won’t remember what happened.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched. It seemed that the two of them had made up their minds not to leave.
She looked at the gentle-looking man and asked, “What does Young Master Rong mean?”
Rong Jin’s tone was very gentle, as if he was saying that the tea was good. “Don’t tell me what Fourth Young Lady said clearly before leaving? I’ve already helped Fourth Young Lady take care of the aftermath.”
Yun Xiao now knew that the man opposite her was definitely a top-grade black belly. Since she had already started the matter, it didn’t matter to continue. “I naturally have my intention to cooperate with Young Master Rong. Naturally, I won’t harm Young Master Rong. Don’t worry about that.”
Rong Jin smiled indifferently, and his eyebrows became unrestrained. “Naturally, don’t worry. Even if it’s not for me, you still have to consider Ruo Ruo, right?”
“You’re right. I can give you the prescription, but I want 70% of the dividend. What do you think?” Yun Xiao felt that it was better to tell the man in front of her frankly.
“Oh? Seventy percent of the dividend is not impossible. I just want to see the prescription first. Although there is a relationship between Ruo Ruo and her, in business, we still need to explain this clearly.” Rong Jin put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly. He looked at Rong Ruo in Yun Xiao’s embrace with a gentle gaze.
Yun Xiao frowned, but she also knew that since it was a business, she had to show sincerity and “take out the paper and pen.”
Rong Ruo immediately said, “I’ll go get it. Daddy and mother will be back soon.”
Not long after, Rong Ruo placed the ink stone on the coffee table and obediently stood at the side to help polish the ink.
Yun Xiao felt that this child was more sensible and obedient. She rubbed Rong Ruo’s soft and waxy cheek and said with a smile, “Ruo Ruo is really obedient.”
She spread out a piece of paper, stained it with ink, and then began to write. She wrote it very carefully. Thinking about it, it was as if she was really thinking of a prescription.
Yun Xiao put down the brush, blew on the prescription, and handed it to Rong Jin. “If my guess is correct, I believe that Young Master Rong knows medicine. Why don’t you take a look at the prescription?”
She still remembered that when she was reborn, Rong Ruo cried and asked Rong Jin to treat her. She must have known some medical skills. Moreover, Yun Xiao was doing this to verify some things.
For example, when he twisted his ankle, who gave him the medicine? She vaguely felt that the matter of delivering medicine and dressing was related to the man in front of her.
Rong Jin sized up the prescription that Yun Xiao handed over. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. This prescription was indeed a little better than the beauty pills sold in the pharmacies on the market. “Where did Fourth Young Lady get this prescription?”
The woman on the other side wore a plain dress, Magnolia twigs were embroidered on the lapels and cuffs, Hanging tightly on his waist was a small and exquisite sachet. Her long, dark hair was only gently pulled up with a jade hairpin. Her face was unpainted, her pink lips were untouched, and her face could not be said to be gorgeous, but she had a different elegance. Especially her pair of obsidian-like eyes, which emitted a pleated brilliance, making her look even more colorful.
Even if Ruo Ruo often mentioned this woman in front of him, this was the first time he had looked at her so seriously.
This prescription dispelled the drawbacks of many of the medicines in the Beauty Nurturing Pill, and it added a lot of color to it. The pills they made could definitely be sold in the capital. Moreover, those who could afford them would be rich and expensive. Even if the price was raised a little, as long as the effects of the pills were good, there would naturally be people who would buy them.
Yun Xiao saw Rong Jin say this, He already knew that Rong Jin knew the prescription. The fact that she was able to tell the value of this prescription at a glance meant that this person’s medical skills were definitely very good. She smiled softly. It seemed that she could already find someone who was visiting Yun Mansion at night. “I accidentally learned about this prescription from an ancient book. If Young Master Rong was willing, I would use this prescription to buy shares and collect 70% of the profits. What do you think of it, Young Master Rong?”
“Fifty to fifty points?” Rong Jin smiled even more gently.
A profiteer! Yun Xiao cursed inwardly and smiled even more kindly. “No, there’s no need to discuss. I’ll take 70% of the shares, give one to Ruo Ruo, I’ll take three shares, and give the other three shares to the eldest girl of the Xiao Clan. Calculating it out, I won’t earn much anymore.”
Rong Jin was secretly surprised. He didn’t expect that she would actually be thinking about giving Ruo Ruo a share. “Why would Fourth Young Lady give a share to the Xiao Clan’s eldest girl? From what I heard, Fourth Young Lady doesn’t seem to have any friendship with the Xiao Clan’s eldest girl.”
Yun Xiao Hui told Rong Jin about the Xiao Clan’s eldest girl at this time, also to be on guard. She wanted Rong Jin to send the dividend directly to the Duke of Xiao Country’s Manor, not to receive the dividend himself and send it to Eldest Miss Xiao.
In this way, so that his family wouldn’t ask more questions if they knew about it, Secondly, Miss Xiao had married Rong Jin in her previous life. In this life, the marriage between the two of them could not be broken just because of her. With the matter of dividends, the two of them would naturally get to know each other very quickly. Thirdly, the prescription was originally owned by Miss Xiao. If he used it himself, he would naturally have to give her a dividend. Only then would his heart be at ease.
However, these real reasons naturally couldn’t be told to Rong Jin. Yun Xiao smiled lightly and said, “This is my business. I won’t trouble Young Master Rong. Just say whether you should or should not.”
Seeing this, Rong Jin curled his lips and said, “Alright, since the four girls have already said so, let’s naturally follow what the four girls said. Let’s set up a letter first.”
Yun Xiao knew how much she could earn from 30% of the shares, Evidently, Rong Jin also noticed. Her expression was slightly cold. “However, I still have one request. The pills made from this prescription can only be sold after October 15. Please don’t sell them until then. If Young Master Rong can’t guarantee, we’ll have to postpone discussing the cooperation of this prescription.”
Rong Jin’s expression scanned Yun Xiao’s face for a while, but in the end, he didn’t see anything unusual. It was just that he felt that something was wrong, “Alright.”
He had a hunch that there would be some accidents on the 15th of October.
Yun Xiao took the handwriting and was about to leave. She said to Rong Ruo, “Ruo Ruo, are you going with me first, or are you going to pick you up when I get back?”
Rong Ruo’s eyes flashed with a faint light and immediately said, “Mother still has things to attend to. I’ll wait here first. When Mother returns, just come and pick me up.”
After Yun Xiao left, Rong Ruo immediately put her furry head into Rong Jin’s embrace. Looking at the prescription, her eyes sparkled. “Daddy, is this prescription really that valuable? Did mother really give me a share?”
At this moment, Rong Ruo’s eyes shone brightly. How could she still be as dumb and cute as before?
Rong Jin pushed Rong Ruo’s head down, “You’re still young first. Even if you get a share, Daddy will take care of it for you first.”
Rong Ruo curled her lips, “Daddy, I’m not young anymore. I know how to spend money. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll tell mother.”
Rong Jin shook his head and laughed. This Ruo Ruo, ah, was the one who couldn’t afford to lose. However, he didn’t expect that such a shrewd person like Yun Xiao would actually be tricked by Rong Ruo like this.
However, what Rong Jin was thinking was why Yun Xiao would give the dividend to Miss Xiao, and what would happen on the 15th of October? It made Yun Xiao Hui look so cautious.
After Yun Xiao returned to her small kitchen, she woke up the two maids. Chun Lan and Chun Lin were somewhat dazed, but they still passed on the words of the chefs in the kitchen.
Yun Xiao earnestly listened to the opinions of every chef. Seeing Chun Lan’s hesitant expression, she said, “What else have you got to say?”
Chun Lan said respectfully, “Young lady, the chefs said, if young lady is free, can you go to the kitchen and give them some pointers? Because the recipe that young lady gave them is somewhat confusing.”
When Yun Xiao heard this, she immediately took Chun Lan and Chun Lin to the kitchen. The kitchen was not as messy as she had imagined. Instead, it was tidied up in an orderly manner. Several chefs bowed respectfully and began to ask for advice. Yun Xiao knew everything and asked some questions. All the chefs also asked for advice together, allowing Yun Xiao to learn some knowledge.
When Yun Xiao came out of the kitchen, she realized that it was already dark. She asked the maidservant before she knew that Rong Jin and Rong Ruo hadn’t left yet.
After the chef cooked a few dishes and brought them to the private room, he realized that the two of them had already eaten dinner.
On the way back to the mansion, the carriage circled the downtown area. On the road that was close to Yun Mansion, a few black-clothed men suddenly flashed out from both sides and started to move without saying anything.
When Rong Ruo heard the commotion in the carriage, a harsh expression flashed across her soft and waxy little face. She harshly said, “You actually dare to sneak attack Mother’s carriage. Kill all of you!”
Yun Xiao looked at Rong Ruo’s suddenly pale face and frowned tightly. She looked at Rong Ruo with a pair of gloomy and unclear eyes.
A series of shouts of killing sounded from outside the carriage. Yun Xiao was not afraid at all. Instead, she opened the curtain and looked outside. The two guards following Rong Ruo only killed everyone who came to assassinate them in the blink of an eye. She hurriedly said, “Leave a survivor!”
However, Yun Xiao’s words were still too late. She saw that Bing Mei raised her sword and saw that the last black clothed person had died under the sword. Yun Xiao frowned and was somewhat annoyed.
Rong Ruo looked at Yun Xiao nervously and said pitifully, “Mother, are you going to blame me?”
Looking at Rong Ruo’s innocent and soft face, Yun Xiao’s heart became strange. “Don’t do this next time.” She was strange, but it wasn’t Rong Ruo. She blamed herself for not being aware of danger. If Rong Ruo hadn’t brought her guards back with her, she would have died today.
If Rong Jin hadn’t forcefully given the two guards to her, Rong Ruo would probably have had an accident with her tonight. She was curious what kind of person Rong Jin was. Could he still know that he would be attacked tonight?
Thinking about it, he didn’t find it somewhat unbelievable.
However, Yun Xiao could already guess who the assassin was today. However, Yun Xiao did not want to cause trouble, so she had someone dispose of the corpse. In his heart, he was becoming more and more vigilant against that person.
