Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 480

Chapter 480 It’s Not Too Late

The night was as cool as water.

A horse carriage quickly drove down the street. Not long after, it stopped in front of a house. This house was only a small courtyard with two entrances. There was a sycamore tree growing in the courtyard. This sycamore tree was very thick, and two people had to work together to carry it up.

Rong Jin hugged Yun Xiao and quickly got off the carriage. Then, before the people in the house could open the door, he immediately kicked open the door of the house and walked in.

Stationed in this courtyard was a pair of old men. At this moment, an old woman dressed in tattered clothes walked over respectfully and said, “Greetings, Master. Elder Yu has already gone to invite a stable woman. He should arrive soon.”

Rong Jin graciously said, and Granny Yu immediately led Rong Jin into the room, “Let’s boil more hot water first.”

Granny Yu immediately said respectfully, not daring to raise her head to look at the woman in Rong Jin’s embrace. “It’s ready. Old General Yu will invite Granny Wen to deliver the baby for Madam Yu,” Granny Yu replied respectfully, not daring to raise her head to look at the woman in Rong Jin’s embrace.

Hearing Rong Jin and Granny Yu’s words, Yun Xiao frowned undetectable, but she no longer had much strength to speak.

Holding Rong Jin’s hand tightly, Rong Jin lowered his head. Seeing that Yun Xiao’s complexion was getting paler and paler, as if it would disappear at any moment, his heart felt a slight chill.

At this moment, Elder Yu quickly walked in from the outside. Seeing Rong Jin, he respectfully saluted, “Reporting to master, this subordinate is incompetent. Granny Wang was invited to drink today. Now, she is completely drunk. This subordinate has already woken up for her, but …”

Even if Elder Yu didn’t say anything else, Rong Jin knew that even if this sturdy woman woke up, she wouldn’t be able to use it now.

When Rong Xun and Jiang Li entered the house together, they heard Elder Yu’s words and frowned tightly, “Go to another place to invite Wen Po.”

“This subordinate invited me. However, today, all the stable wives in Plum City were invited by the people from the Uncle’s Mansion.” Elder Yu’s voice carried a sense of self-blame. He traveled all over Plum City and only found Granny Wang at home, but Granny Wang was drunk.

Hearing this, everyone knew that someone was deliberately making things difficult for them. Mu Xuan brought people to capture Yun Xiao in the courtyard and also knew that Yun Xiao was going to give birth. Now, she would invite all the stable women in Plum City to leave just in case Yun Xiao would escape.

Rong Jin’s footsteps stagnated for a moment. Then, he said to Jiang Li, Rong Xun, and the others behind him, “Granny Yu, bring in all the things you need to produce. Rong Xun, Jiang Li, you guys guard the mansion. You are not allowed to let anyone in. In addition, gather some more people to guard the mansion.”

“Yes,” Granny Yu and the others answered and quickly began to prepare.

When Rong Xun heard Rong Jin’s words, he knew that Rong Jin was going to deliver Yun Xiao.

He looked at the figure who was carrying Yun Xiao into the house with a somewhat embarrassed expression. His expression was a little sad. Perhaps, the two of them were truly a pair.

He resolutely turned around. This was a crucial moment. He couldn’t do anything for them, but he could stop the enemy for them outside.

Jiang Li looked at Rong Xun’s lonely figure, frowned, and immediately followed, “Crown Prince …”

Before he could finish speaking, he was stopped by Rong Xun. He wrapped his body around the only sycamore tree in the courtyard and looked forward to it. He was unconsciously nervous. He hoped that Yun Xiao and her son could be safe. Otherwise, he didn’t know if Rong Jin would go crazy.

…

Inside the room, Rong Jin carefully placed Yun Xiao on the bed. His black eyes landed on Yun Xiao’s protruding lower abdomen. Black light surged in his eyes, showing how nervous and frightened he was at this moment.

She took out a pill from her bosom and fed it to Yun Xiao. She leaned over to Yun Xiao and whispered, “Xiao Xiao, you once said that if our child was born a brother, it would be named Nuo. If it was a sister, it would be named Tongtong. Is that still true?”

He spoke very softly, but every single word struck Yun Xiao’s heart.

On his pale, bloodless face, his long butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly. He looked at the man beside him with trembling eyes. He slowly reached out his hand, wanting to hold his hand. Then, he nodded heavily. Gujing Wubo’s eyes were filled with determination.

She remembered that this sentence was something that she and Rong Jin had often said in the past six months outside.

Originally, the child in her stomach, She should have asked Rong Jin to name him, but Yun Xiao was exceptionally persistent with these two names. No one knew how sad she felt when she said this. She was afraid that Rong Jin would not want to, so she could only change her words. “If you don’t like the names Nuo and Tongtong, then treat these two names as breast names. Give the child another name.”

These two names were the names she had given her children in her previous life.

At that time, when she gave birth to Nuo Nuo, she gave birth to a pair of twins. Tong Tong was born first. She heard Tong Tong crying in a daze, but later, everyone told her that Tong Tong was a stillborn baby.

She thought that there would be no more children, but she didn’t expect that there would be a pair of twins in her stomach at that time. When she gave birth to Nuo, she was afraid that he would be like Tongtong, so even if she was exhausted, she didn’t want to close her eyes. Only after confirming that Nuo was still alive did she put down her arms and go to sleep with the child.

Now, she wanted to name one of the two names for her child, not because she hated Zhou Jingyan for letting her remember her hatred, but because she felt guilty about the two children. In her previous life, she could not protect her child and watched the child die in front of her, but in this life, she would protect the child no matter what.

As long as she was alive, she wouldn’t let her child die in front of her.

When Rong Jin saw Yun Xiao’s hand reach over, he reached out and held it tightly together with Yun Xiao’s hand. He said softly, “As long as you are willing, this child will be named according to your wishes.”

Yun Xiao nodded heavily and reached out to hold Rong Jin’s hand tightly. She said softly, “If possible, please protect the child.” She could clearly feel that her body was losing strength bit by bit. Between the child and her, she chose to protect the child.

Rong Jin’s hand trembled slightly. He leaned forward and kissed Yun Xiao’s eyebrows. He said softly, “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you guys.”

After he finished speaking, he pulled out his hand, took out a dagger from his bosom, and gently sliced it on his wrist. Blood flowed out like an injection.

Rong Jin immediately put his hand close to Yun Xiao’s mouth and whispered, “Drink it, drink it. Only then will you have strength.”

Yun Xiao looked at Rong Jin with surprise in her eyes. When she saw Rong Jin’s actions, Yun Xiao already knew what he was going to do.

Her lips were tightly shut, and Gujing Wubo’s eyes conveyed her thoughts. She was unwilling to drink.

Rong Jin frowned. Raising his wrist, he drank a mouthful. His mouth was filled with the smell of blood. He immediately lowered his head and his lips attached to Yun Xiao’s soft lips. He pried open Yun Xiao’s lips and teeth and fed the stickiness in her mouth to Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao originally did not have any strength. Being forced by Rong Jin, she could only swallow Rong Jin’s blood powerlessly. Her brows were full of unwillingness.

Rong Jin stretched out his hand and rubbed Yun Xiao’s hair. Seeing that something was faintly surging at the corner of her forehead, a strange expression appeared in her black eyes. His gaze swept across Yun Xiao’s lips, and a wisp of blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth. With that pale, bloodless face, it gave off a strange feeling.

However, Rong Jin smiled gently. “Xiaoxiao, drink more. Your current strength is not enough to cope with giving birth to a child. I will stimulate the poison of the acacia grass in your body. When the acacia grass encounters danger, it will grow crazily. It will also let you have a lot of strength. Trust me, once you give birth, I will be able to force the poison out of your acacacia grass.”

Yun Xiao shook her head. She looked at Rong Jin with a hint of prayer in her eyes. She wasn’t worried that the poison of the Acacia Grass would devour her. She had already made up her mind that she would die. How could she be worried about this?

She was just afraid that Rong Jin would lose too much blood and deliver the baby for herself. She was too weak. Tomorrow at Rong Xun’s ascension ceremony, she would ruin their plans. After all, she had read the letter that Rong Jin had written to her, and she was even more afraid that the Empress would restrain him.

After tonight, she knew about Rong Jin and Rong Xun’s past. She also knew very well that since the Empress was able to attack a tightly-knit ten-year-old child, her methods would be extremely ruthless. She did not want Rong Xun to ascend to the throne. She would definitely make a move at tomorrow’s ceremony.

She didn’t want to disrupt Rong Xun and Rong Jin’s plans because of her.

She stared fixedly at Rong Jin and gently opened her lips, “I believe you.” If she didn’t believe it before, she would have believed it after what happened tonight.

Even if she died after giving birth to the child tonight, her entire life would be considered perfect. In this life, she had never trusted her beloved.

Seeing Yun Xiao’s gloomy expression, Rong Jin frowned and understood what Yun Xiao was worried about.

He let go of the wound he had pressed down and moved closer to the flap of Yun Xiao’s lips. “Drink more. Only when you and your son are safe can I feel at ease. We have already arranged everything for tomorrow. There won’t be any accidents. If we can’t protect you and your son, I don’t know what will happen tomorrow.”

Now that Yun Xiao had stepped into his life, he did not know what he would do without her.

Tears slowly filled Gu Jingwubo’s eyes. Yun Xiao’s heart was filled with contentment. She tightened her grip on Rong Jin’s big hand. Her gaze was blurry, and there was already a strange feeling in her body. “If only we had met earlier.”

If she had met Rong Jin earlier in her previous life, she wouldn’t have loved Jing Yan like a moth, right?

Rong Jin reached out and rubbed Yun Xiao’s hair. His gaze was gentle as he fed some of his wrist into Yun Xiao’s mouth again. When he saw the traces of Acacia Grass slowly growing on the corners of Yun Xiao’s forehead, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

Putting away his wrist, his finger landed on Yun Xiao’s protruding lower abdomen, “I will definitely not let you down.”
