Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 506
Chapter 506 Meet Strangers
At the banquet, Mu Xuan and Mu Zhuangzi walked away, causing the atmosphere to be somewhat gloomy. Fortunately, with An Hua around, this matter was quickly concealed.
Rong Ruo watched as Mu Xuan took the wooden stake away, her small brows furrowed tightly, and her ink-jade-like eyes were filled with unconcealable worry.
She turned to look at Rong Jin, who was standing beside her. At this moment, Rong Jin’s expression did not change. His gaze was as deep as ever. Rong Ruo sighed. Compared to her father, she was indeed not calm enough.
He pretended to be calm, but his gaze at the banquet entrance from time to time revealed his nervousness.
Rong Jin smiled indifferently and said softly, “Don’t worry, Rong Xun has already gone. If you continue to look around, it will only arouse An Hua’s suspicions.”
When Rong Ruo heard Rong Jin’s words, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief and smiled indifferently, “Daddy is right, Ruo Ruo has memorized it.”
Rong Jin and Rong Ruo quickly returned to normal. On the other side, Tie Qinglan felt that something was wrong today. There must be something wrong with the wooden stake. Otherwise, how could there be so many people fighting for it?
Taking a deep breath, Tie Qinglan looked at the figures of a group of people who were about to disappear from the corner with a smile other than a smile. She immediately pretended to have abdominal pain and left the banquet after bidding farewell to the people around her.
Not long after Tie Qinglan left, she disliked the maidservant standing in her way. Then, she suddenly touched her body. Her face turned pale and she said to the maidservant, “Aiyo, why is the jade pendant on my body missing? Quickly help me find it.”
The maidservant didn’t want to leave, but since Tie Qinglan wanted to drive her away, she was naturally prepared. “That jade pendant is very important. Help me quickly find it. I’ll tell me where the toilet is. I’ll go first. If you find the jade pendant, hurry up and look for me.”
The maidservant was helpless and could only point Tie Qinglan in a direction. Seeing that Tie Qinglan had already run away quickly, she immediately turned back and continued to look for the jade pendant.
Tie Qinglan quickly ran forward and turned a corner. She could no longer see the maidservant’s figure. Only then did she let out a sigh of relief and observed her current direction. Then, she walked around the path and headed in another direction.
However, the Mu Mansion was too big. This was Tie Qinglan’s first time coming here. She circled around and confused herself. For a moment, she did not know where she was, nor did she know where she was now. She could not find the whereabouts of Mu Xuan and the others.
Tie Qinglan frowned, her eyebrows full of confidence. She did not expect that she would lose someone.
Just as he was about to walk back along the same path, he suddenly heard a clash of weapons and a faint voice rang out.
Tie Qinglan listened intently for a while. She vaguely felt that one of the voices was very familiar. Her eyes lit up slightly and she immediately followed carefully. She hid behind a tree and hid her figure before leaning over half of her body.
Under this gaze, Tie Qinglan’s gaze was already filled with shock.
There were two groups of people in front of him. One of them was Mu Xuan, who had left earlier. She brought a few people to carry the wooden stakes. On the other side was the Grand Emperor wearing the Ebony Ghost Mask. Behind her were two guards.
At this time, the people on Mu Xuan’s side put down the wooden stake that had been carried all this time and opened it. A woman wearing a long moon white dress was pulled out of the wooden stake. The long moon white dress was even full of red plum blossoms, one by one, extremely bright.
As the woman’s body was dragged by someone, she saw a dark red trail of blood on the ground.
Mu Xuan stared blankly in front of her.
When Mu Xuan saw the woman in the long moon-white dress, she walked forward and grabbed her. She grabbed a sharp dagger from her hand and put it on the woman’s neck. She looked at the man wearing the ebony ghost mask and sneered, “Rong Xun, I said today that I wouldn’t give her to you. You should die this heart.” “As long as you dare to take a step forward, the dagger in my hand will not show mercy. Remember, I did not kill Yunxiao, but you did!”
Yun Xiao? Was this the Xiaoxiao that Rong Jin was referring to? Tie Qinglan was a little shocked. She originally wanted to see Yun Xiao, but she never expected that she would meet him in such a situation.
Thinking about what had happened at the banquet today, Rong Jin stopped everyone from shooting at the wooden stakes. He must have known that the person inside the wooden stakes was his wife, right?
Without waiting for Tie Qinglan to think more, she saw Rong Xun sneer and said indifferently, “Mu Xuan, if you dare to touch one of her fingers today, I believe that your fate will definitely be worse than hers!”
“Is that so? But I moved today. What can you do to me?” A hint of deathly silence flashed through Mu Xuan’s eyes. She looked at the man in front of her unwillingly. Although he looked this way, there was no figure of her in his eyes. He closed his eyes and his gaze once again reflected those dark eyes. Even if both of them looked at her, her figure could not stay in the eyes of the two of them.
Mu Xuan sneered and said, “Rong Xun, this is Rong Jin’s woman. Rong Jin didn’t come to save her. Instead, he asked you to save her. What is the reason for that? Or are you also affectionate towards women?”
Her voice was filled with unconcealable coldness, and a trace of strange sorrow and mockery flashed through the depths of her eyes.
“What does it have to do with you? You just need to remember that the woman in your hand is not someone you can touch. Mu Xuan, you’ve done so many wrongs in the past. As long as you let Yun Xiao go, I can let bygones be bygones!” Rong Xun first glanced at Yun Xiao, and then his gaze landed on Mu Xuan.
However, Mu Xuan was so excited by this sentence that she laughed, “Rong Xun, do you think I would believe you? When I poisoned you, you wished for me to die. Why would you let me go now?”
When he spoke of poisoning, a trace of harshness flashed in Rong Xun’s eyes. His gaze flickered with dense disgust. Indeed, he was eager for Mu Xuan to die at all times. He sneered and said, “You are very self-aware!”
“Right, otherwise how can I still live in your hands to this day? Rong Xun, the thing I regret the most in my life is knowing you two brothers. “If she hadn’t sneaked out and coincidentally met them, she wouldn’t have left her heart on that man, nor would she have poisoned him later, nor would she have had a tit-for-tat confrontation at this moment. However, she always knew that there was no ifs in this world.
“Do you think that we would rarely meet you?” Rong Xun looked at Mu Xuan with an unconcealable anger. If it wasn’t for this decade, how could the two brothers have become like this? Why would Rong Jin go to the Eastern Jin Dynasty to become a proton for ten years?
How many decades does a person have in life?
Mu Xuan’s body trembled from the ruthlessness and killing intent in Rong Xun’s words. She knew that Rong Xun hated her very much. Even if she and he were to tangle with each other because of love poison, he would always vent his anger on her. Every time he never looked at her, every time he lingered on her, he would treat her as a tool to vent his anger, and he would also feel pain for her.
She originally didn’t want to do this, but she couldn’t say anything that she refused. She had found this herself. If she didn’t want Rong Jin to fall in love with her and poison him, then there wouldn’t be any aftermath.
Mu Xuan suddenly burst into laughter. Her laughter stopped and she looked at Rong Xun with a gloomy gaze. “No matter what we thought, no matter how unwilling we were, when we met, we met. This is the arrangement of the heavens. I won’t get Rong Jin or you, nor will I let this woman get you, nor will I let my child call a woman I hate the most mother!” “Today, even if I risk my life, I will not let such a thing happen!”
Tie Qinglan had never expected that she would actually hear such a shocking secret, and her eyes widened in astonishment.
She compared the news she had heard today with the rumors about Yue Huang Rong Ruo in the past. She knew that Rong Ruo was the child of Mu Xuan and Rong Xun!
This matter was simply getting more and more complicated. It was so complicated that people felt that something was wrong!
Seeing that the dagger in Mu Xuan’s hand had already been pressed down, cutting Yun Xiao’s neck, revealing drops of bright blood, Tie Qinglan’s gaze contracted. At this moment, she suddenly wanted to know what Yun Xiao was thinking.
He subconsciously wanted to make a move, but his reason was reminding him not to interfere in the matters of the royal family. Otherwise, he would definitely regret it.
Before Tie Qinglan could make a move, she saw Rong Xun rushing forward at lightning speed. However, before she could reach Mu Xuan, she was blocked by two black-clothed men. The two sides quickly fought. Mu Xuan had more people on her side, and even if Rong Xun’s martial arts were very good, it would be difficult for her to escape for a while.
Mu Xuan frowned and looked at the atmosphere in the arena. Immediately, she took Yun Xiao and left the small path.
When Tie Qinglan saw this, she immediately followed carefully, not far or near, deeply afraid that it would arouse Mu Xuan’s suspicion.
Not long after Mu Xuan left, she saw that Rong Xun, who was wearing the ebony ghost mask, had already caught up with her. His eyes were filled with vigilance, and he immediately instructed the two guards beside him, “You guys stop him!”
The two black-clothed men accepted the order and Mu Xuan continued to lead Yun Xiao forward quickly.
In just a moment, the people beside Mu Xuan had already left.
When Tie Qinglan saw this, her heart finally calmed down. She first observed Mu Xuan’s whereabouts and quickly circled in front of her. She first laid an ambush on the ground before sitting down on a rock and waiting for Mu Xuan’s arrival.
Within a few breaths, Mu Xuan had already brought Yun Xiao over. After all, Mu Xuan was also a woman with limited stamina. After walking with Yun Xiao for so long, she was already tired to the point of panting. She felt that the distance from the banquet was a little too far. She also breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to summon the hidden guards in the manor, she did not want to face an ice-cold face.
