Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 44

Chapter 044 Transfer Zhuangzi
The recipe Yun Xiao gave Yun Lai Restaurant made Yun Lai Restaurant’s business much better.

Ever since Yun Yao got pregnant, Shen Yingfan had been making trouble at home. Shen Yingfan came to the mansion to visit, but she actually scolded him.

The moment this happened, the relationship between the Shen Clan and the Yun Clan became tense again.

Even though Yun Xiao did not care about how they were making a fuss, she was still in a big ruckus because Yun Yao had sent a dozen or so maids to urge her to go to the Shen Clan to ask Shen Yingfan to kill the child in a single day.

Yun Xiao scoffed. Thinking about this kind of thing, she was really a good sister!

She simply went to the ancestral hall. Madam Yuan, Madam Sun, and Madam Lu were all present. Her words were not polite at all. “Third sister, I’ll do whatever you want to cause trouble at home. However, I can’t accept your request. You don’t need face. I, Yun Xiao, still need face.” Back then, when you wanted that man, I gave it to you. What do you want to do now? Let me go to the Shen Clan to ask for an explanation for you? Do you think I owe you? ”

Yun Yao looked at Yun Xiao’s gloomy expression, and her heart trembled. However, when she remembered that Shen Yingfan actually had a servant girl who was pregnant like herself, her heart felt as if a thorn had been stabbed. She remembered Yun Xiao’s expression, and always felt that she knew that someone in the Shen Clan was pregnant, so she would break off the engagement so happily.

In this way, it was Yun Xiao who pushed herself into the fire pit. How could she not be angry?

However, she completely forgot that it was she who deliberately approached Shen Yingfan and used her appearance to gain Shen Yingfan’s attention. It was she, Madam Sun, and Shen Yingfan who designed and tied Yun Xiao up, causing Yun Xiao’s reputation to almost be ruined. It was she and Shen Yingfan who had secretly given birth to her.

“That’s right, you owe me. Not only do you owe me, but your mother owes me as well. My mother should be the real wife. Why can’t she just be an ordinary wife? If it weren’t for your mother, I would be Yun Clan’s real daughter-in-law, so you owe me from birth …”

Madam Yuan looked at her splashy granddaughter and immediately kicked out all the maids and wives, leaving behind only her confidantes. “Yunyao, are you done?” Although this was the truth, it could be considered as saying that his son was wrong. Not giving them the position of wife was also saying that he was incompetent.

Yun Xiao saw that Madam Yuan’s expression was already unhappy. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly. Instead, she sat down on a chair beside Madam Lu. She looked at Madam Lu worriedly and gave her a comforting smile. “Grandmother, let Third Sister finish her sentence.”

Mrs. Yuan looked at Yun Xiao in surprise. She had a calm expression and a smile on her face. It was still that face, but it caused a trace of fear to appear in her heart. She immediately called out to her mother-in-law, “Third Young Lady’s health is not good. Help her sit down first.”

Just as the woman walked to Yun Yao’s side, Yun Yao’s eyes widened. The woman could only whisper, “Young lady, you don’t have to think for yourself, you also have to think for the child in your stomach.”

Yun Yao was stunned. Right now, she could only rely on this child. She couldn’t let anything happen to the child. She sat down slowly with the help of her mother-in-law and took a few breaths to calm herself down. Then, she looked at Yun Xiao and said, “Are you going to the Shen Clan or not?”

Yun Xiao indifferently picked up the teacup and took a sip. She chuckled and said, “No, it’s useless for me to go. If you can persuade grandmother, grandmother will be even more important.” She herself is Yun Ying’s unmarried. How could she do such a job?

Regarding what Yun Yao had done, it was already very good for him not to step on her at this time. How could he still help her?

She did not look at Mrs. Yuan’s pale face and helped her up. “Mother, let’s go.”

Madam Lu’s expression changed slightly. Her eyes were filled with worry. She looked at Madam Yuan nervously. When Yun Xiao saw this, she sighed and bowed. “Grandmother, mother, big brother and I are going to live in the manor outside the city for a few days. I hope Grandmother will approve.”

Madam Lu looked at Yun Xiao in surprise. Why didn’t she know when this was decided? Yunxiao pinched Madam Lu’s hand and told her not to say anything. Madam Lu smiled back and calmed herself down. “Mother, last time Xiaoxiao was frightened, she said that she wanted to go to the manor to rest. This time, she could also go to the manor to collect the rent. I hope Mother’s kindness.”

It was already early October, and all the tenants on the manor had not been taken, so they could just use this excuse to leave.

Yun Xiao looked at Madam Lu with a wisp of a smile on her lips. It turned out that her mother didn’t know, but she just didn’t earn it. Today, it was beyond her expectations.

Madam Yuan looked at the mother and daughter, then at Madam Sun and her daughter. These days, her head had grown big. The Lu family was willing to live in the manor for a period of time, so she naturally agreed.

After leaving the ancestral hall, Madam Yuan looked at Yun Xiao and said, “Why do you think of going to the manor?”

Yun Xiao chuckled. “Ever since father left, our mansion has been filled with smoke and miasma. Mother has been living uncomfortably every day. I’ve been moving for a long time now. I just said it today. I didn’t tell Mother beforehand. I hope Mother won’t get angry.”

Of course, this was not the only reason. Since the Crown Prince was assassinated on the 15th of October, the capital would automatically be in turmoil. She had a bad feeling in her heart. Since county princess Huining could kill the first time, she would naturally assassinate the second time. And the 15th of October was the best time.

In his previous life, he had rushed to the manor and met Zhou Jingyan in the manor. Later on, everyone knew about this matter. Even if county princess Hui Ning were to lower her guard, this trip to the manor was bound to take place. Even if county princess Hui Ning really sent people to assassinate her, she could still deploy them on the manor. However, she had to be restrained everywhere in the Cloud Manor. Bring along the Lu Clan and the others because she was afraid that county princess Hui Ning would kidnap someone she cared about and threaten her.

Of course, the most important thing was that there were two more days before the recruits left for the pass, and they had to let Yun Lan avoid them no matter what they said.

She would never let her own brother take another risk, much less the tragedy of her previous life.

From afar, Yun Lan and Brother Han had already walked over. When they arrived at their side, they anxiously sized up the two of them. “Mother, fourth sister, did grandmother make things difficult for you?” In the past few days, Yun Xiao had sent him to check the accounts of the Yun Clan’s shops in the capital. Every day, he would leave early and return late, so he had no time to think about joining the army.

Yun Xiao chuckled, “No, I begged grandmother to let us go to live in the manor for a period of time.”

“Why?” After Yun Lan’s conditioned reflex said these words, he suddenly felt that this suggestion was not bad. Looking at his grandmother’s expression everywhere in Yun Mansion, he felt more comfortable going to the manor. “Alright, let’s go to the manor. We can just rest for a few days.”

After making the decision, Yun Xiao and the others took the carriage and went to the manor. Yun Lan originally wanted to bring more servants, but Yun Xiao refused. He only brought Yun Lan’s trusted aides and Li Ji.

As soon as the carriage left, a person left not far from the Cloud Manor in a hurry until they arrived at the Eldest Princess Manor.

“This servant greets the county princess. Today, there is a carriage leaving the Yun manor. As the county princess said, it was Fourth Miss Yun who went to the manor outside the city. There were only a few guards accompanying her.”

County princess Huining tapped on the table with Dan Kou’s hand and frowned. “How is the Cloud Manor today?”

“The Cloud Manor made a big fuss this morning. As for what happened, this servant has yet to find out clearly.”

County princess Huining waved his hand and told him to go down, “There’s no need to inquire. You can go down first.”

When they left, the corners of County Lord Huining’s mouth revealed a complicated smile. She was naturally worried that the people she had sent to assassinate Yun Xiao had not returned. She was afraid that Yun Xiao would be reborn just like herself. Otherwise, her only advantage would be gone.

However, according to the news he had recently heard, Yun Xiao was still quite normal. She was still not favored by the Yun Clan. Otherwise, Yun Maozhe would not have left immediately. Yun Xiao was chased to the manor by her grandmother. Now, she only needed to stop Zhou Jingyan from going outside the city.

County princess Hui Ning would think that Yun Xiao didn’t have any unusual movements. It was also because she was the daughter of a daughter in her previous life, so she naturally didn’t pay much attention to these things in the marketplace. Yun Xiao’s deeds were also rumored. Even though Yun Clan’s industrial operations had begun to recover, it was only a matter of researching new dishes to counterattack. These were inevitable things in the business world. The main reason was that those dishes did not have any trace of their previous life.

In this life, with her rebirth, she invited Yun Xiao to her birthday banquet. That was why she delayed Yun Xiao’s arrival at the manor. Everything was reasonable.

Apart from the group of assassins that had disappeared, she did not rule out the possibility of those people running away alone. However, just in case, she still had to be prepared.

County Lord Hui Ning’s fingernails tapped on the table faster and faster, killing intent growing in the depths of his eyes, and he muttered, “October 15, October 15 …”

Yun Xiao and the others walked for three hours before arriving at the villa outside the city. Yun Xiao had already informed the villa’s villa tenants to arrange for them and immediately let Madam Lu and the others live in.

On the other hand, she took Chun Lan out on the pretext of going out for a walk.

Just as Yun Xiao walked out of the courtyard, a man wearing a grey robe walked over and respectfully bowed in front of Yun Xiao. “Miss, all the people you want have been brought. Do you want to see them again?”

Yun Xiao’en said, “Lead the way ahead.” These people were all escorts that he had hired to protect the safety of his line of work in the manor. However, there were two paths to arrive at the manor. It was related to his own safety, so Yun Xiao naturally had to see it with her own eyes before she could be at ease.

Yun Lan just happened to come out of the room and saw Yun Xiao leave with a man. His brows furrowed slightly, and Yun Xiao also chased after him when something happened to Climb Yun Xiao.

All the way to the side of the manor, Yun Xiao saw fifteen long and sturdy men, each with a broadsword on his finger. The noodle house was glowing fiercely. Yun Xiao was very satisfied with this. She instructed those people to protect the manor and let the man who led her sneak into her house before turning around and leaving.

After walking for a few steps, he saw a young man in a navy green robe. He sighed and said, “Second brother, why are you here?”

Yun Lan glanced in the direction that those men left, and did not beat around the bush, “Xiaoxiao, why did you want to see those people? Who are those people?”

Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Those are the escorts I hired. They are responsible for the safety of our group in the manor.” Many of the silver notes she got from Zhou Jingchen were used to invite people. With the assassination last time, Yun Xiao still cherished her life.

Yun Lan was still a little puzzled, “What else could happen to us in our own villa?”

“I just feel a little uneasy. It doesn’t matter if I take precautions.” October 15 is about to arrive. There will be a turmoil in the capital, so I naturally have to guard against it.

However, she had also made proper arrangements for the safety of Yun Mansion. Everything had been arranged, and she was waiting for the fifteenth of October.
