Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 490
Chapter 490 Buy Time
The carriage went all the way to Mei City, and instead of directly returning to the courtyard, it went to a restaurant first.
After Yun Xiao told her about her plans to manage the industries under her name, she used half of her dinner and started crying again because of hunger.
Yun Xiao apologized to everyone, then held Second Xiao and asked a servant in the restaurant to lead the way, intending to go to the next room to feed Second Xiao.
However, just as she was about to step into the box next door, Yun Xiao saw a familiar figure at the corner of her eyes. She couldn’t help but look at it twice.
Under this gaze, he couldn’t help but be shocked. Seeing that the person seemed to have noticed her and had already looked over, Yun Xiao’s expression was embarrassed and she immediately lowered her head. There was already some panic in her eyes, and her heart couldn’t help but beat.
Yun Xiao took a few quick breaths and remained calm.
The servant was leading the way when he suddenly saw that Yun Xiao was not leaving. He looked over in surprise, “Madam, what happened to you?”
Yun Xiao pretended to be calm and chuckled. Then she said, “I’m fine. I’m just dizzy. I’ll just go in myself. You can go back first.”
The servant did not notice Yun Xiao’s strange behavior. After respectfully saluting, he turned around and left. After Yun Xiao entered, he closed the door.
Yun Xiao lifted her clothes and fed Er Xiao with blank eyes, her eyes flashing with deep worry.
In her previous life, she and Zhou Jingyan had been married for many years, and she was already very familiar with Zhou Jingyan’s figure and footsteps. Therefore, even if the person she saw just now, no matter how dressed she was, Yun Xiao could recognize that person as Zhou Jingyan.
If Yun Xiao had seen this figure at the beginning, she might have hesitated for a moment, but now that she remembered what Rong Xun had said, Zhou Jingyan had already entered Plum City ahead of time, the last bit of worry in Yun Xiao’s heart was gone.
Yun Xiao frowned tightly. After more than half a year, she hadn’t seen him before. For a moment, she didn’t want to face Zhou Jingyan, much less now that she was a well-known dead person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
After Second Snack had eaten, he opened his big round eyes and looked at Yun Xiao. Then, he stretched out his small hand in the air, as if he wanted to grab something.
Yun Xiao frowned even more tightly. She gently patted Er Xiao. Just as she stabilized her mind, she heard the sound of someone knocking on the door outside. Yun Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. The bad premonition in her heart became more and more intense.
Yun Xiao secretly walked to the door and poked a small hole in the bottom of the door. Sure enough, she saw a man wearing a grey robe standing outside the door. Yun Xiao’s eyes contracted violently. Zhou Jingyan, whom she had just seen, was wearing a grey robe.
Yun Xiao quickly turned around and looked around the room. Then, she carried Er Xiao to a wardrobe and opened it. She put Er Xiao inside and whispered, “Nuo, Tongtong, you must be good. No matter what happens later, don’t say anything, okay?”
Er Xiao only opened her eyes and looked at Yun Xiao in confusion. Yun Xiao was ruthless and immediately closed the door of the wardrobe. After listening for a while, she did not see Er Xiao crying and let out a sigh of relief.
She quickly walked to the door and pulled out a short dagger from her sleeve. She carefully hid it behind the door.
As for the people outside, they hadn’t received a response for a long time. Even though they pushed the door open, they quickly flashed in. The moment Zhou Jingyan entered, a cold light flashed in front of them. A sharp dagger had already stabbed at him. His eyes contracted violently, and a trace of mockery appeared in his eyes.
He kicked backwards, Landing on Yun Xiao’s wrist, Yun Xiao kicked off the dagger in her hand. His body flashed, She had already arrived in front of Yun Xiao. Her big hand had already grabbed Yun Xiao’s neck, Her bright eyes landed on Yun Xiao’s elegant face. The other hand reached out and landed on Yun Xiao’s pair of Gujing Wubo’s eyes. A trace of faint and undetectable surprise flashed in her deep gaze, but then came a thick hatred. She snorted coldly, “Yun Xiao, I thought I was blind just now. I didn’t expect it to be you! I didn’t expect that you were actually still alive!”
Although Zhou Jingyan did not want to believe that Yun Xiao had been burned to death by the fire, the Yun Family did not manage to carry out the funeral. In addition, the Yun Family had been closed for so long for Yun Xiao’s sake. In addition, he had searched for many things. In the end, all the questions pointed to Yun Xiao’s death.
However, Zhou Jingyan still felt that Yun Xiao could not die, so he also searched for Yun Xiao for a while. When he found out that Yun Xiao and the others had actually appeared in Rice Fragrance Village, he was surprised. By the time he arrived, Yun Xiao had already disappeared.
Even though he hadn’t caught Yun Xiao, Zhou Jingyan was still surprised to know that Yun Xiao really wasn’t dead.
However, after that, no matter how he searched for Yun Xiao’s whereabouts, he would not be able to find her. It was as if Yun Xiao had disappeared from the world.
So much so that in order not to waste so much manpower and material resources, Zhou Jingyan had to give up searching for Yun Xiao’s whereabouts, but he did not expect that he would actually see Yun Xiao’s whereabouts in the West Vietnam.
Thinking back to the two babies that Yun Xiao was holding, her eyes contracted even more violently. A thick killing intent flashed through her eyes, “Did you have a child?” Counting the time when Yun Xiao married Rong Jin, it didn’t seem like Yun Xiao would give birth to a child.
Seeing the killing intent flashing through Zhou Jingyan’s eyes, Yun Xiao furrowed her brows and said, “Third Prince, this doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, right? Am I going to die or live? Whether I give birth or not, there’s no need to report it to Third Prince, right?”
“You!” Zhou Jingyan suddenly smiled, his face full of mockery. “I didn’t expect that you wouldn’t have seen him for more than half a year. You’re becoming more and more eloquent.”
“Thank you, Third Prince. However, I heard that the Third Prince is coming to West Vietnam. The carriages and horses will enter the city in three days. Now that the Third Prince has suddenly appeared in Plum City, isn’t it a bit strange?” Yun Xiao stared at Zhou Jingyan with a faint smile. There was no longer any fear in Gu Jingwu’s calm eyes. Instead, there was a hint of provocation in her eyes.
Seeing Yun Xiao’s expression, Zhou Jingyan’s eyes were filled with an undetectable amount of admiration. Then, he proudly said, “So what?”
Yun Xiao blinked her eyes and whispered, “Indeed, it can’t be any different. However, I think the Third Prince should put down the hand that threatened me first to speak. Otherwise, if I become excited for a moment, I don’t choose my words, and when my voice rises, it will attract others, it won’t be good.”
Zhou Jingyan saw that Yun Xiao did not have a trace of fear or fear in his eyes, and his thick eyebrows showed a trace of relief. However, he did not put down his hand that was placed on Yun Xiao’s neck. Instead, he looked at Yun Xiao with a threatening expression, “Do you think I came to see you today at the risk of being discovered? I was just chatting with you to catch up with the past?”
Yun Xiao pretended to think for a moment, nodded heavily, and said softly, “No.”
Zhou Jingyan sneered, “You know yourself well.”
Yun Xiao smiled and said, “I know this very well. I don’t need you to remind me.”
“Is that so? I want to see how you can save yourself now that you’re in my hands! Where are the two children you’re carrying? I want you to see me kill them with your own eyes, and I want you to taste the pain of having no children!” When Zhou Jingyan talked about his children, the hatred in his eyes became even more intense.
For the past half a year, because of his body, he had been unable to have sex, let alone have children. The reason why he was unable to have sex was because Yun Xiao had injured his own life.
Ever since he married Xiao Yuqi and county princess Hui Ning, Xiao Yuqi had only been cooperating with him, so she did not fake her words to him, nor was she willing to do anything to him. He was so angry that his body could not recover, and there was nothing he could do. In order to compete for favor, county princess Hui Ning would often come to see him wearing exposed clothes. Three or five hours later, he would provoke him. His heart was burning with excitement as he watched, but there was not a single movement beneath him.
Right now, he didn’t have a single heir, but Yun Xiao actually had two heirs. This was just a ridicule to him.
Now, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, All the older princes were no longer his match. The Crown Prince was already dead. The Fifth Prince had been beheaded half a year ago. The Seventh Prince was now in confinement, while the remaining princes were all too weak. Only Zhou Jingxu was seriously injured. Whether he could survive in the palace was still one thing.
He had already asked Hua Fei to pry into the Jin Emperor’s words. The Jin Emperor’s words were faintly intended to pass on the throne to him, wanting him to be crowned the Crown Prince. However, it was best if he had a son first before this matter could be firmly settled.
However, the problem of his children had always been his biggest problem. It was the most embarrassing thing that surrounded him.
Because of this, Zhou Jingyan hated Yun Xiao even more.
Therefore, he couldn’t allow Yun Xiao to actually give birth to a child!
Yun Xiao was not moved. She only looked at Zhou Jingyan with a smile that was not a smile, and her eyes revealed disdain. “Oh? Really? So what if you killed a child? As long as I’m still alive, I can continue to have children. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with me.”
She knew Zhou Jingyan. The more she showed concern, the more angry Zhou Jingyan became. He wished he could kill her directly. As long as she acted calm, she could buy some time for the child. Moreover, if she did not return for a long time, Rong Jin would definitely come to check on her.
Zhou Jingyan wasn’t sure if Yun Xiao’s expression was real or not. He only snorted coldly, “I didn’t expect that after half a year, you would become more and more cold-blooded and heartless.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his large hand landed on Yun Xiao’s body, and a strange flame flashed in his deep eyes.
Right now, he wanted his children to go crazy, and he didn’t forget that his body only reacted to Yun Xiao. Just looking at Yun Xiao like this, he already had a faint desire …
