Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 455
Chapter 455 Rong Jin’s Return
Yun Xiao, Rong Ruo, and the others had spent a day and night on their journey to Rice Fragrance Village. Fortunately, there were no assassins on their journey, which also made their group breathe a sigh of relief.
After settling down in Rice Fragrance Village for two days, Chun Mei and Chun Lan woke up and cleaned up the houses they lived in.
However, compared to the diligence of the maidservant, Yun Xiao, who was the master, was somewhat absent-minded.
It had already been three days, but she still hadn’t received any news from Rong Jin. A trace of uneasiness couldn’t help but arise in her heart. She didn’t have the heart to do anything.
The villagers of Rice Fragrance Village also came over several times, especially Chen Xiao who came to their houses from time to time. Every time, they would ask Yun Xiao about Rong Jin’s news. However, Yun Xiao did not know about Rong Jin’s news now, so how could she reply?
So every time he answered, he didn’t know.
However, Chen Xiao thought that Yun Xiao was doing it on purpose. Every time she looked at Yun Xiao, her eyes would always look strange. When she came back, Rong Ruo sat obediently at the entrance of the courtyard and shouted to the outside, “My father hasn’t returned yet.”
Chen Xiao didn’t dare to rashly come to his house like this. As a result, Yun Xiao was also quiet, so he didn’t stop Rong Ruo’s actions.
They run a pharmacy in this courtyard, Therefore, the pills for protecting the fetus were all ready-made. Yun Xiao had learned to recognize the pills from Rong Jin and personally helped Rong Jin fetch the prescription. Therefore, she did not need to prescribe the pills at all. She grabbed them herself. However, the two maids did not dare to use Yun Xiao’s pills to cook them. She was afraid that if she ate her stomach bad and could not afford it at that time, Yun Xiao would no longer take the pills.
She was very disappointed in her heart. Without the news that Rong Jin was still alive, Yun Xiao would not be able to lift her spirits no matter what she did.
Although Rong Ruo was worried in her eyes, she was also very happy because this action represented that her mother had saved her father in her heart. However, he was also worried about her father’s safety just like her mother. After these three days, the confidence in Rong Ruo’s heart had also disappeared.
Daddy had always taken him and his mother to heart. Now, it had been so long since Daddy had sent any news, so it was likely that it was really bad luck.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Yun Xiao, who was sewing clothes, immediately raised her head. Rong Ruo also quickly walked out of the room and rushed to the courtyard entrance. She had a happy expression and wanted to see if her father had returned.
However, when they saw that it was Qing Liu, Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo couldn’t help but feel a trace of disappointment in their eyes.
When Yun Xiao saw Qing Liu, she immediately asked, “Have you ever heard of Rong Jin’s whereabouts?”
‘”No, the people of the Ten Directions Palace have all moved out. There is still no trace of Master.” Qing Liu was also very depressed. The people of the Ten Directions Palace wanted to investigate the news, but this time, there was not a single trace of Master’s whereabouts.
Yun Xiao’en said. Seeing Rong Ruo walking over, she hugged Rong Ruo in her arms, rubbed his hair, and said softly, “If you don’t worry, no news is good news.”
If news of Rong Jin’s death came, Yun Xiao did not know if she could withstand it. At this moment, even Yun Xiao did not discover that she valued Rong Jin so much.
Rong Ruo smiled gently, afraid that Yun Xiao would be worried, so she didn’t say anything. “Mother said that if there’s no news, it means that father is still alive.”
Yun Xiao continued to look at Qing Liu, “Did you ever find out who the murderer who wanted to kill us on the day of marriage was?”
Qing Liu lowered her head dejectedly, her face full of confusion. “Madam, this subordinate only found out that the one who poisoned Madam was Xiao Yuqi, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Xiao. The one who burned Rong Manor was Third Prince Zhou Jingyan. As for who was the one who chased after us, this subordinate has not found out yet.”
Yun Xiao frowned. Xiao Yuqi and Zhou Jingyan hated her to the bone. Naturally, it made sense to want to kill her.
However, Yun Xiao did not expect that there would be a group of people chasing after her.
Yun Xiao smiled bitterly. She didn’t expect so many people to want her dead. “Continue investigating. I want to see who exactly wants to kill me.” With such a person in the capital, Yun Xiao was somewhat worried. If that person failed to kill her, and instead turned around to deal with the Yun Clan, then the gains would outweigh the losses.
Qing Liu immediately respectfully replied, then dodged and walked out.
Seeing the worry between Yunxiao’s eyebrows, Rong Ruo immediately said, “Mother, don’t worry. I will soon find out where father is and who wants to kill mother. Ruo Ruo will avenge mother then.”
Yun Xiao graciously shouted, but she did not want Rong Ruo to kill him at such a young age. “Alright, you are still young now. Don’t worry about these things.”
She took off the needle and thread from her clothes, held the clothes she had just finished and gestured at Rong Ruo’s body a few times. She smiled and said, “Ruo Ruo, come and try it on, let’s see how this dress looks on.”
Rong Ruo’s clothes were always bought in the shop. Ever since she called Yun Xiao’s mother, she could always wear clothes that Yun Xiao personally sewed. The choice of cloth and stitches were excellent. Even the patterns on the clothes made Rong Ruo very satisfied.
Therefore, every time she got the clothes made by Yun Xiao, she couldn’t let go of it. Now that she saw Yun Xiao making clothes for herself, she immediately kissed Yun Xiao on the cheek and said, “It’s good to have a mother.”
Yun Xiao rubbed Rong Ruo’s head, and a faint softness appeared in her eyes.
Rong Ruo immediately went back to her room and changed her clothes. Her small face shone as she walked out. When she saw Yun Xiao, she immediately smiled and said, “Mother, mother, look at this dress.”
This dress was made of moonlight white. The silk thread was also the best. It was embroidered in Shu embroidery. It was embroidered with a group of green bamboo. It was elegant and unique. It looked very good on Rong Ruo’s body.
Yun Xiao held Rong Ruo in her arms and whispered, “As long as Ruo Ruo likes it, mother will make more clothes for you in the future.”
Rong Ruo’s eyes instantly lit up. The clothes he usually wore looked very luxurious, but in the end, they weren’t as warm as his mother’s. For a moment, she smiled and narrowed her eyes.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly leaned towards Yun Xiao’s lower abdomen and remained motionless. Yun Xiao did not know what he was doing, but she enjoyed this kind of time very much, so she did not urge him.
After a while, Rong Ruo raises her head and looks at Yun Xiao curiously. She blinks her eyes and says, “Mother, why is little brother not moving?”
Yun Xiao laughed out loud, “What if I just call him a younger brother? Maybe he’s a younger sister. The baby is still young, so he won’t move.”
Hearing Yun Xiao’s explanation, Rong Ruo blinked her eyes and secretly nodded, as if she understood, “Ruo Ruo feels like a younger brother.”
Chun Mei and Chun Lan, who were at the side, saw it. They just covered their lips and chuckled. Previously, when they learned that Yun Xiao was pregnant, they were so shocked that they didn’t even react for a long time. Madam and their uncle had just gotten married and could have a baby? Isn’t this too fast?
Moreover, uncle and madam still don’t have a bridal chamber.
Therefore, the two of them understood that they would never talk about this matter again. At that time, when Yun Xiao was looked at like this by the maidservant, she also felt so dry and panicked that she could only pretend that she did not see it.
The people in the courtyard cleaned up. After lunch, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened and snowflakes began to fall.
Although the snowflakes weren’t heavy, the drifting made the weather outside a little cold. Yun Xiao’s body was not good, so she didn’t dare to go out in this kind of weather. She simply continued to make clothes for Rong Ruo in the room. The weather was changing quickly now, so she had to prepare more clothes for Rong Ruo.
Chun Mei and Chun Lan also helped, and then made shoes for Rong Ruona’s shoe soles. A room was full of burnt earth dragons, and the few of them gathered together, which made people feel exceptionally warm-hearted.
This kind of atmosphere was too good. Rong Ruo unconsciously narrowed her eyes and couldn’t help but sigh in her heart. It was really good to have a mother. He had never experienced such a day before.
Although Rong Jin treated him well and taught him everything personally, Rong Jin never knew how to sew like this, let alone wear clothes made by his father.
“Bang!” A violent collision sounded, startling the people in the room. Yun Xiao’s eyelids also jumped. “Perhaps the branch of the locust tree in the courtyard has fallen again. The wind is really strong today.”
Chun Lan also echoed, “Yeah, it hasn’t been as cold as today for several days. The weather is really changeable.”
“After a few days of spring, it won’t be cold anymore.”
The few of them chatted and laughed, but they did not pay attention to the voice just now.
At this moment, there was another “bang” sound, and the few people in the room did not pay attention to it.
However, there were a few more “bang bang bang” sounds. Yun Xiao’s eyelids also jumped faster and faster. Suddenly, she stood up from her chair and ran out. There was a feeling in her heart that was about to come out. Her heart couldn’t help but beat, as if something was pulling her out. She quickly ran out.
None of the people in the room expected Yun Xiao’s actions. She immediately stood up and ran outside. Rong Ruo was delighted when she saw this. In a flash, her figure disappeared from the room and quickly ran to the courtyard door. She saw that Yun Xiao’s hand was trembling so much that she wanted to remove the door bolt. However, because of a moment of excitement, her hand was trembling non-stop. Instead, she did not open the courtyard door for a long time.
“Bang! Bang!” Two sounds rang out. Yun Xiao and Rong Ruo’s eyes were filled with pleasant surprise. This was definitely someone outside.
Qing Mo also arrived at Yun Xiao’s side. Seeing Yun Xiao’s nervous appearance, he walked forward and removed the bolt from the door. Then, he opened the courtyard door.
A gust of cold wind blew over as the courtyard door opened. Yun Xiao’s body couldn’t help but tremble. However, she didn’t pay attention. Her pair of eyebrows stared fixedly at the white figure outside the door. The owner of the figure smiled slightly at Yun Xiao. The warmth in her eyebrows seemed to be able to melt the snow.
When Yun Xiao saw this familiar figure, the corner of her eyes became hot and she couldn’t help but shed two lines of tears.
He didn’t die, he didn’t die …
However, before Yun Xiao could speak, the white figure of Dao Yue smashed straight towards Yun Xiao …
