Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 50

Chapter 050 Confrontation With Hui Ning
Yun Xiao brought Chun Lan into the living room with a tray. Madam Lu and the others were already sitting at the dining table.

Yun Xiao chuckled and brought a portion of Mo-Li Flower Steamed Egg from the tray in front of Brother Han and Rong Ruo. “This is something both of you like to eat.”

Rong Ruo and Brother Han immediately thanked him and their eyes lit up.

Yun Xiao only chuckled and brought a dish in front of Rong Jin. “Young Master Rong, you are an honored guest. Today, I specially cooked two dishes to thank you.”

Her words were pleasant to hear, but when everyone saw the dishes on the table, the corners of their mouths twitched. Rong Jin’s gaze swept across the vegetables in front of him, and his gaze, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling, once again landed on Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao did not notice other people’s gaze. She brought out another colorful dish and placed it in front of Rong Jin. She smiled and said, “I heard that Young Master Rong always likes to eat fish, so I decided to cook these two dishes. This dish is called Chopped Pepper Fish Head. The people said that the fish’s essence is in the fish head. This dish is very nutritious and is most suitable for people who have worked hard all night.” “This is spicy fish. It’s made from the freshest and tenderest fish underneath the fish’s stomach. It tastes very good.”

Although what Yun Xiao said was very good, the red pepper on the top of the two dishes made people shiver unconsciously. How could they eat it?

Rong Ruo was also dumbfounded as she looked at the two dishes. The corner of her mouth twitched, “Daddy can’t eat spicy food.”

Madam Lu pulled at the corner of Yun Xiao’s clothes and said with an embarrassed expression, “Since Young Master Rong can’t eat, forget it. There are still so many dishes.”

Yun Lan’s face was also slightly red. Other people had saved their family last night. What was going on with Xiaoxiao? However, no matter what, Yun Xiao was his sister and could only smile. “Fourth sister doesn’t know that Young Master Rong doesn’t like spicy food, so I hope Young Master Rong doesn’t blame her.”

Instead, Rong Jin took a chopstick and took a bite of the fish. “It tastes good. Fourth Young Lady’s cooking is really good. I like it very much.”

Everyone was stunned. Yunxiao was unhappy in her heart, but her expression became gentler. “It’s good that Young Master Rong likes it.” If you actually plot against me, I’ll spice you to death.

Although everyone was eating, they unconsciously looked at Rong Jin. Rong Jin still had a calm expression, as if the food he ate was not spicy at all.

Yun Xiao couldn’t help but glance at Rong Jin. Rong Jin only smiled faintly, making it hard to see what he was thinking.

After finishing the meal with great difficulty, a maidservant had already sent tea to Rong Jin. Rong Jin gulped without blushing or panting. He saw everyone staring at him, “Why are you looking at me like this?”

Yun Xiao frowned slightly, “Are you really not afraid of spicy food?”

Rong Jin chuckled softly. “My taste is a little different from ordinary people’s. In other people’s eyes, it’s spicy, but when I eat it, it’s bitter. However, Fourth Young Lady, this dish isn’t bitter.”

Everyone was slightly stunned. Yun Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. She frowned and the maidservant ran in from outside to salute before saying, “The Fourth Prince has a fever again.”

Madam Lu’s expression changed slightly. She immediately stood up and said, “Let’s go take a look.”

Yun Lan also stood up to follow him, but Yun Xiao did not move. Instead, she said indifferently, “Mother, Second Brother, you’d better send the Third Prince away as soon as possible.”

“Why?” Yun Lan immediately looked at Yun Xiao. He had brought Zhou Jingyan back, so she was naturally surprised.

“I’ve received news that the Third Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince went to the Xiangguo Temple to pay their respects. Now that His Highness the Crown Prince has been assassinated, and the Third Prince has appeared in our manor, I always feel that something is wrong. Besides, we are already imperial merchants. If we get involved with the Third Prince again, it will only bring disaster to the Yun Family,” Zhou Jingyan was a fire pit. She wouldn’t watch the Yun Family jump down.

“How do you say that?” Yun Lan still didn’t understand. The Yun Clan was only an imperial merchant right now. If they were able to establish a relationship with the royal family, they would only be able to rise to a higher level.

“Second Brother will understand in the future. I have already sent someone to inform the attendants of the Third Prince’s mansion. I’m afraid someone will come to pick up the Third Prince soon.” Yun Xiao calmed down. In the current situation, County Lord Hui Ning was staring at her covetously. She could not have too much to do with Zhou Jingyan no matter what.

After thinking for a while, she finally came up with a bold guess. She and county princess Hui Ning were both reincarnated people, so county princess Hui Ning naturally knew that she was the future queen, and Zhou Jingyan was the future Emperor.

The people he had sent to monitor county princess Hui Ning had also spread the news. County princess Hui Ning and Zhou Jingyan had some dealings recently.

It seemed that county prince Huining wanted to follow the path of the Third Prince. In his previous life, he was the Third Prince’s wife. County prince Huining felt that he was blocking her path, so he wantonly tried to kill him.

Just because of the title of the back seat, it was too tempting for a woman.

This guess of Yun Xiao’s was already close to ten.

Everyone was stunned. At this moment, someone outside the courtyard asked to see him. Li Ji had already walked in and said respectfully, “Fourth young miss, there are many guards outside the courtyard. They said that county princess Huining wants to see the third young miss.”

Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly. She had originally thought that it would be someone from Zhou Jingyan’s Manor who would come to bring people back, but she did not expect that county princess Hui Ning would know about it one step ahead of time.

It seemed that the ones who should have come would always come, but they didn’t expect that they would meet again just after confronting each other.

Who would have thought that county princess Huining had just been frightened last night, so she couldn’t wait to find him today. She was really prepared to make a move.

“How could it be a county princess?” Madam Lu was very puzzled about this.

“Since the county princess has come, let’s go welcome her,” she said as she took the lead and walked out.

Rong Jin watched as the woman walked out like this. His brows furrowed slightly. He wanted to know how this woman would handle this matter, so he simply followed her out.

When Yun Xiao walked out of the courtyard, she saw a beautifully decorated carriage parked outside. The carriage was surrounded by guards, and it was majestic, attracting the attention of many people from the manor.

Yun Xiao walked out of the courtyard and greeted the county princess. The people behind him also bowed down.

However, the people in the carriage did not get off. Instead, a maidservant wearing an autumn-colored dress walked down. “Everyone, get up. My county princess said to invite the fourth girl to the carriage for a chat.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth sneered, but there was nothing on her face. She stood up and followed the maidservant into the carriage. The carriage was very spacious and covered with thick fox fur. It was thick and soft. County Head Huining was lying in the carriage, wearing a rosy red dress. The long dress pounced on the ground, making the beautiful face of Zhang Jue pale.

Looks like last night’s period had a partial impact on county princess Hui Ning. He sneered in his heart, and his expression became even more amiable. “Greetings, county princess.”

County princess Huining raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her. However, there was a frightening chill in her eyes. “Stand up, let’s not talk secretly. Is the Third Prince here?”

Yun Xiao curled her lips and smiled. Her eyes were also cold. She did not expect that she would be honest so soon. “The Third Prince is indeed here. Is the county prince here to pick up the Third Prince? However, I have already notified the guards of the Third Prince’s Mansion.”

County princess Hui Ning stared at the unpowdered face. Although she wore simple clothes, she had a different flavor. Her eyes narrowed dangerously, “So what? I’m here to take away the Third Prince. Do you dare to stop me?”

Yun Xiao curled her lips and said, “Naturally, I don’t dare to stop you. The county prince’s status is noble. Taking away the Third Prince can also give the Third Prince good treatment. Even if we find a decent doctor in this barren mountain and wilderness, it won’t be easy.”

“What did you say? The Third Prince is injured?” County princess Hui Ning looked nervously at Yun Xiao, a trace of jealousy mixed in the depths of her eyes.

Why did he cripple so much of his heartforce and end up sending Zhou Jingyan to Yun Xiao’s side?

Therefore, when she heard that the Third Prince was on the manor where Yun Xiao was, she rode in the carriage with all her might.

She was really worried that Zhou Jingyan and Yun Xiao were together. Not only that, she had also sent so many people to kill Yun Xiao last night. However, the news she received was that Yun Xiao was unharmed at all, and none of the people she sent over survived.

The people sent to the Cloud Manor were like this, as were the people sent to kill Yun Xiao. She began to suspect in her heart.

Moreover, what she was even more afraid of was whether the person she had sent would accidentally injure Zhou Jingyan.

All sorts of emotions disturbed her so much that she simply couldn’t bear to wait for news from the Princess’ Mansion.

Yun Xiao lowered her eyebrows, and her expression became even more respectful. “Yes, the Third Prince is seriously injured. I have already asked a doctor to treat the Third Prince. However, the Third Prince is still unconscious and has a high fever. I’m afraid it’s very dangerous.”

As she spoke, she lowered her eyebrows and stared at the expression on County Lord Hui Ning’s face.

County princess Hui Ning’s expression suddenly changed. “Bastard, the Third Prince is a member of the royal family. You actually only asked the villagers to treat the Third Prince. If anything happens to the Third Prince, I will definitely ask you.”

Yun Xiao lowered her eyebrows and trembled, as if she was frightened. “County princess, forgive me. I was afraid of delaying the Third Prince’s illness, so I informed the people from the Third Prince’s Mansion as soon as possible.”

“It’s good that you know,” she said as she sent her own guards to pick up Zhou Jingyan. Only then did she take a look at Yun Xiao, and a complicated expression appeared in her eyes. “Yun Xiao, what exactly do you want to do if we don’t talk in secret?”

Yun Xiao secretly sneered. This was just the beginning, and she couldn’t wait anymore. “County princess, don’t worry, I don’t have any intentions of climbing to the high branch. The status of the Third Prince is noble, and it’s not something I, a daughter of a merchant, can climb to. The only thing the common woman knows is that she hasn’t seen the Third Prince before today.”

County princess Hui Ning didn’t expect that she would look at her suspiciously. She didn’t expect that she would actually say such a thing. Was she showing her feelings to him? “Really? Which woman in this world doesn’t want to marry into the royal family?”

When Yun Xiao saw her like this, she knew that her previous guess was 60% correct. If that was the case, she would have to be careful in the future. “Although it’s good to marry into the royal family, there’s no freedom left. Is the county princess right?”

County Magistrate Hui Ning’s eyes were filled with inquiry. The carriage was completely silent. After a long time, she said, “You can go down first. I hope we don’t have a confrontation that day.”

When Yun Xiao saw this, she got out of the carriage and stared at the carriage absentmindedly. Her words and determination had already indicated that she hoped that she would not become enemies with the county princess of Hui Ning.
