Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 443
Chapter 443 The Princess Added Makeup
Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s marriage was set for December 21. This day, someone was specially invited to investigate. It was a good day, and it was suitable for marriage.
No one in the capital had expected that Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s marriage would be so urgent.
The Jin Emperor had issued an imperial edict to the two of them, but they still had to wait until Yun Xiao and Ji Yi arrived.
But now, how many days had passed since this imperial edict was issued? He was actually going to get married.
However, even so, the people in the capital were only envious.
She secretly praised Yun Xiao for her good luck.
With a man like Rong Jin as his husband and being able to control all of Rong Jin’s family business, no one in the capital was as lucky as Yun Xiao.
Therefore, there were many guests from the Yun Clan these days. Even some young ladies who did not have any friendship with Yun Xiao came to see how immortal Yun Xiao looked. She actually met a man like Rong Jin and got such a husband who loved her wholeheartedly.
Of course, when someone said that Yun Xiao had rejected the marriage of the Third Prince, Zhou Jingxu, that envy had already become a strong jealousy. In their hearts, they even thought of Yun Xiao as a fox spirit. However, when they saw Yun Xiao’s appearance, many people couldn’t conceal their disappointment.
This matter made Yun Xiao secretly smile.
Of course, among the makeup givers, There were also many families of those children who were saved by Yun Xiao, Rong Jin and the others at night. In order to express their gratitude, they gave Yun Xiao a makeup. Now that those children had been handed over to the government, the people of the government had sent them home. When they saw these makeup, Yun Xiao felt happy.
…
Of course, after hearing the news that Yun Xiao and Rong Jin were going to get married, Zhou Jingyan was the one who was furious the most.
Zhou Jingyan lost his temper in the room. He had been scheming for so long, but now it was all in vain.
After reading the book for a while, Zhou Jingyan, who was sulking in the room, slowly calmed down.
Hearing that there was no movement in the room, Butler Li carefully pushed open the door and entered. Today, there seemed to be a dark cloud floating in the sky above the Third Prince’s Mansion. Everyone was trembling and didn’t dare to say anything else.
After Butler Li entered the study room, he first sized up Rong Jin’s expression and then whispered, “Master, Miss Xiao wants to see you.”
Zhou Jingyan frowned. Didn’t Xiao Yuqi need some time to recover? Why are you out now?
He didn’t dare, but he resisted the fear and disgust in his heart and said loudly, “Invite her in.”
Not long after, a software stopped at the door of Zhou Jingyan’s study. Xiao Yuqi walked down first, then asked the maidservant to take off the wheelchair she had just made. After sitting on it, the maidservant pushed her into the study. Looking at Zhou Jingyan from afar, Yun Xiao could feel a faint cold wind blowing over.
Xiao Yuqi snorted coldly, her eyes carrying a trace of mockery that could not be concealed. She whispered, “Why is there such a gloomy and cold aura floating in His Highness’ study? What made His Highness so angry?”
Zhou Jingyan only casually glanced at Xiao Yuqi and concealed the impatience in his eyes before slowly walking towards Xiao Yuqi. “Didn’t you know what made me so angry?”
“That’s right,” Xiao Yuqi thought for a moment, then said coldly, “I came here today to help His Highness the Third Prince resolve his problems.”
“Oh? What’s your idea?” Zhou Jingyan looked at Xiao Yuqi casually.
“Of course, I need His Highness the Third Prince’s help in this matter,” Xiao Yuqi said as she looked at Zhou Jingyan. Her indifferent gaze made Zhou Jingyan feel a little annoyed. “Speak.”
“The Yun Family’s Fourth Young Lady will be married to Young Master Rong tomorrow. I heard that the Yun Family’s Fourth Young Lady doesn’t seem to be in good health and needs to take medicine every day. However, the medicine that the Yun Family’s Fourth Young Lady needs to take today is just gone. If she can make Yun Xiao lose all face at the wedding banquet, then the marriage between the two of them will probably never happen again, right?” Xiao Yuqi’s expression was indifferent, and her tone did not carry a trace of peculiarity.
“Xiao Yuqi, you know too much.” Zhou Jingyan looked at her calmly. Every time Yunxiao took the medicine, she would know that there was no such thing. It seemed that she had been staring at Yunxiao for an unknown period of time.
Zhou Jingyan narrowed his eyes and a trace of coldness flashed across the corner of his mouth. “I’m rather curious. How could you be so concerned about Yunxiao?”
“I’m helping the third prince solve the problem, isn’t it? His Highness the Third Prince had always wanted to marry Yun Xiao, wasn’t it because of the huge Yun Clan’s property behind Yun Xiao? As long as Yun Xiao was dead, apart from Yun Maozhe, who else in the Yun Clan would be able to take action? Moreover, once Yun Xiao died, the Yun Family would definitely be in chaos. As long as His Highness the Third Prince acted early, the Yun Family’s wealth would be within reach. “Xiao Yuqi looked at Zhou Jingyan indifferently, her eyes carrying an unconcealable coldness.
Zhou Jingyan didn’t like her, and even hated her. She also hated Zhou Jingyan and didn’t like him.
Zhou Jingyan furrowed his brows, and a faint sense of ease rose in his heart. If according to the past, he really wanted the Yun Clan’s financial position, so he decided to design Yun Xiao. He wanted to marry Yun Xiao. If he could obtain all the Yun Clan’s financial position without marrying Yun Xiao, he would naturally be happy to see it succeed.
However, now, he had changed his mind. Not only did he want the Yun Family’s wealth, he also wanted to marry Yun Xiao.
He didn’t admit that he was thinking about Yun Xiao at all. He was merely reacting to Yun Xiao alone, so he wanted Yun Xiao to become his successor.
Seeing the hesitation in Zhou Jingyan’s eyes, Xiao Yuqi snorted coldly and said, “Your Highness the Third Prince is so hesitant. Could it be that he is thinking about the Yun Family’s fourth young miss? If that’s the case, then let’s pretend that I didn’t say anything today.”
Being provoked by Xiao Yuqi, Zhou Jingyan smiled coldly. He lowered his head and saw that Xiao Yuqi’s eyes were filled with hatred. He knew how much Xiao Yuqi hated Yun Xiao because of the poisoning. He wished he could kill Yun Xiao. He snorted coldly in his heart. Yun Xiao had the people from the Ten Directions Palace guarding him. Nothing would happen. Xiao Yuqi was just suffering.
He whispered, “Alright, since you are willing to do it, then do it well. However, you can only use your own people.” Now that Xiao Yuqi’s manpower and arrogance have been damaged because of this incident, he will be very happy, so that this woman will not always look down on him. That kind of arrogance makes him very uncomfortable.
“You! I’m helping His Highness the Third Prince. Is this how His Highness treats his allies?” Xiao Yuqi gritted her teeth and looked at Zhou Jingyan. She couldn’t help but be curious about Yun Xiao’s fate.
She had clearly calculated that Yun Xiao’s life was a natural phoenix’s life. How could she marry a lowly businessman?
However, Xiao Yuqi remembered the lesson on New Year’s Eve very clearly. She was even more certain that Rong Jin was not just a merchant.
However, she had already known through certain means that Rong Jin was the Palace Master of the Ten Directions Palace. In this way, when Yun Xiao’s fate was with Rong Jin, she felt that something uncontrollable would happen in the future.
Therefore, no matter what, she couldn’t let Yun Xiao and Rong Jin get married, so she tried her best to stare at Yun Xiao, but she didn’t expect that the two of them would still come together.
However, there was still room for manoeuvre.
Zhou Jingyan looked at Xiao Yuqi and a cold look flashed in his eyes. “No, I know that this method is not feasible, but I still want my men to die. I won’t do such a thing. Miss Xiao, please go back. Besides, once the first month is over, Miss Xiao had better make a move to train my soldiers. Otherwise, the consequences won’t be something Miss Xiao can bear.”
“You!” Xiao Yuqi didn’t expect Zhou Jingyan to receive such a response. She snorted coldly and pushed the wheelchair out.
After walking out of the study room, Xiao Yuqi’s lips slowly revealed a strange cold smile. Then, she lowered her head and looked at a sachet on her waist. The smile on the corner of her lips became denser and denser.
…
Compared to Zhou Jingyan and Xiao Yuqi’s impatience, Yun Xiao’s face was filled with doubt.
She held a box in her hand. This box was made of good yellow pear wood, emitting a faint fragrance. The top of the box was carved with exquisite patterns. It was obvious that it was not ordinary. Such a beautiful box, but Yun Xiao had never opened it. She only looked at the box with a puzzled expression and a tangled expression.
Chun Lan came in and bought some tea before she said loudly, “Miss, why don’t you open this box? Who gave you this makeup?” She saw that Yun Xiao had been holding this box for a long time, but she had never opened it. She didn’t know who gave it to her, but it made the girl feel so embarrassed.
Yun Xiao smiled indifferently and slowly scratched the box made of yellow pear wood. She whispered, “This is a makeup from the Eldest Princess’ Mansion.” The people of the Eldest Princess’ Mansion wished for her to die every time, and they had no feelings for her. But why did the Eldest Princess’ Mansion send her a makeup?
No matter how Yun Xiao thought about it, she felt that it was strange. That was why she held this box in her arms and thought about it for so long.
Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Chun Lan was also slightly surprised. The people of the Eldest Princess’ Mansion had always looked at Yun Xiao with displeasure, so how could they send makeup to the girl in vain? “Miss, why don’t you open it and see what the Eldest Princess’ Mansion has given you?”
Yun Xiao nodded and was about to open the box, but was stopped by Chun Lan. “Miss, this servant will open it.”
Yun Xiao smiled indifferently, “No need, even if the people from the Eldest Princess’ Mansion wanted to kill me, they wouldn’t do anything to add makeup.” After saying that, Yun Xiao opened the brocade box. The one lying inside the brocade box was a set of jade head noodles. It was made very exquisitely, and it could be seen that he had used his mind.
However, Yun Xiao was even more surprised when she saw the makeup on her face. What did the Eldest Princess’ Mansion mean by giving her such a set of noodles?
Her doubts about this makeup made Yun Xiao ignore the nervousness of the waiting mother.
