Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 520

Chapter 520 Return To The Capital

In order to make time, Yun Xiao and Rong Jin kept on traveling and shortened the journey to ten days.

On the evening of the tenth day, Yun Xiao, Rong Jin, and Yun Lan arrived at the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Within the capital, the security was tight, and the three of them were traveling all the way. They rarely had time to rest, let alone properly freshen up.

Yun Xiao looked at the tall city wall not far away, and a faint strange light appeared in her eyebrows.

More than half a year ago, she left here, but now she’s back!

Looking at the guards in front of her tightly guarding the city gates, she frowned slightly. Before she left, she did not have this book on guard.

However, thinking about the assassination of Crown Prince Zhou Jingchen, Yun Xiao calmed down. She knew about the news that the Crown Prince had been killed a month ago and the Jin Emperor was furious.

A trace of regret flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes. Actually, she was optimistic about Zhou Jingchen.

Although Zhou Jingchen might not be very good at expanding his territory, he was still very good at defending the city.

Yun Xiao sighed leisurely, but she didn’t know what had happened to Zhou Jingxu after this incident.

Rong Jin hugged Yun Xiao’s waist and looked at the exhaustion on her face and the regret in her eyes. There was a faint peculiarity in her eyebrows.

Ever since he learned about Yun Xiao’s dream, Rong Jin’s heart had a strange feeling towards the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty. He held Yun Xiao’s hand tightly and whispered, “Let’s wait until the sky is darker before entering the capital.” They were traveling all the way here, and it was easy for them to be targeted. On the contrary, they would not be beautiful anymore.

Yun Xiao also knew this truth. At this time, they absolutely couldn’t be discovered by anyone, let alone in the eyes of everyone in the capital, the three of them were already dead.

Rong Jin took Yun Xiao and Yun Lan to a small room not far from the city gate. This room was a one-way courtyard, and there were four rooms for people to live in. Inside, there was a pair of old madams living inside. Looking at the animal skins that could be seen everywhere in the courtyard, Yun Xiao could already guess that the two old men were disguised as hunters.

Rong Jin instructed the two of them to boil water, while he brought Yun Xiao into the main room. As for Yun Lan, he already knew what he was going to do without Rong Jin saying anything.

Although the room was small, it was full of internal organs. Yun Xiao sized up the room and saw that the facilities inside were all complete. There was a feeling of home, making people feel greedy.

She looked at Rong Jin, who was not far away, with a faint smile on her face. “They say that there are three cunning rabbit caves. How many caves does this cunning fox like you have?” Along the way from Mei City in Country of Xiyue to the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, they did not rest. Instead, they lived in small houses outside the city.

What inspired Yun Xiao’s killing intent was that there was Rong Jin’s property outside every city. It was simply too divine.

Rong Jin only chuckled. “Let’s rest for a while. We’re going to enter the capital tonight.” They only rested for an hour every day. Yun Xiao was hugged by him and could rest for a while, but Rong Jin managed to survive.

In the past few days, his deep eyes had already been bloodshot.

Yun Xiao originally wanted to let Rong Jin rest more, but Rong Jin said nothing, causing Yun Xiao to feel even more distressed. She also knew that Rong Jin wanted to use this kind of self-torture method to temporarily forget the pain of killing Mu Zhi.

Yun Xiao could do nothing except feel distressed and secretly take care of Rong Jin’s daily life.

Rong Jin only lightly tugged at the corner of his mouth. Although his gaze was gentle, his smile was inexplicably cold.

Not long after, a couple stationed in the courtyard brought in the bath soup. After finishing this, they quickly retreated.

Yun Xiao looked at the bathtub with an embarrassed expression. Just a bathtub?

Rong Jin directly picked up Yun Xiao and whispered, “Since we only prepared a bath tub, let’s wash it together.”

Yun Xiao’s face was flushed red. At this moment, it was more like the red clouds on the horizon. However, she did not refuse.

The two of them were already husband and wife, and she was thinking of a way to make Rong Jin abandon her grief, so she lowered her head and leaned against Rong Jin’s embrace shyly.

Rong Jin first put some medicinal ingredients in the bathtub before letting out a sigh of relief. Along the way, even if he was made of iron, his body would not be able to bear it anymore.

Fortunately, with these medicinal ingredients here, it could help train his body. Otherwise, with such a high load, Rong Jin’s body would have long since been unable to hold on.

After a while, the sky had completely darkened.

The three of them had dinner in the courtyard. Although the dinner was very simple, it was still delicious for the three of them who had eaten the dry rations along the way.

Only then did Rong Jin take Yun Xiao and Yun Lan out of the courtyard and go to the south gate.

However, this time, Rong Jin brought a black cloak for Yun Xiao.

Now, the weather in October, the night has been a little cold.

The three of them took advantage of the night to find a weak spot and quickly climbed over the city wall without attracting anyone’s attention.

Yun Xiao saw Yun Lan’s qinggong. She didn’t expect that second brother’s kung fu would be so powerful after only a while. It was truly gratifying.

Now, their Yun Clan finally had a support.

Rong Jin and the others first entered a restaurant and went all the way from the secret passageway of the restaurant to the Rong mansion next door to Yun Clan.

Although when Yun Xiao married Rong Jin, the Rong Manor was burned to ashes by someone, even though the Yun Family had insisted that Rong Jin and Yun Xiao were dead, they still repaired the Rong Manor again. Although the current Rong Manor did not have the same scenery as before, it was still the same.

When the three of them arrived at Rong Manor, they saw a brand new Rong Manor. Apart from some precious plants in the courtyard, which were not as fresh as before, the rest were almost built according to their original appearance.

When Yun Xiao saw this, her eyes were slightly moist.

Thinking back to when she married Rong Jin, no one would have thought that she and Rong Jin would become real husband and wife now, much less that she would have the current situation.

Looking at everything that she was familiar with, it was as if she and Rong Jin had only gotten married yesterday.

Also excited was Yun Lan. It had been almost a year since Yun Lan had returned. This was the first time he had left his home for such a long time. It was obviously impossible for him to say that he did not miss the people from the Yun Clan, let alone that this was the place where he was born and raised.

However, this time, Yun Lan was able to do his best to remain calm no matter how excited he was.

Yun Xiao was even more satisfied with Rong Jin. On the contrary, she was even more grateful to Rong Jin in her heart.

“Let’s go to the Yun Clan through the secret passage in your room,” Rong Jin suggested directly. He could sense that someone was monitoring outside the Yun Clan. If he rashly flew over, it would easily arouse suspicion.

Yun Xiao also nodded cautiously.

The three of them quickly entered the Yun Clan through the secret passage. It was also Yun Xiao’s boudoir before she got married. Looking at all the furnishings in the room, it was still the same as before she left, and the room was even spotless. Unconsciously, a layer of faint gratitude surged into their hearts.

Hearing the commotion in the room, Qing Yi and Cai Yi, who were guarding the courtyard, were puzzled. They quickly walked over and leaned against the door. As expected, they heard someone inside. Their faces were shocked, but they didn’t dare to show off.

The green-robed cat said boldly, “Shall we go in and take a look together?”

“Why don’t we go find some guards first?” Caiyi’s courage was relatively small, and her eyes were filled with fear.

Everyone knew that their young lady had been burned to death by the fire on the wedding day. Could it be that the ghost of them and the fourth young lady had returned?

Just as the two of them were discussing what to do, someone suddenly opened the door and a moonlight figure appeared in front of them.

Their eyes went straight and they immediately knelt on the ground, their faces filled with fear and reverence as they kowtowed and begged for mercy, “Please spare me, please spare me.”

Yun Xiao looked at Tsing Yi and Cai Yi in surprise. She did not expect that Tsing Yi and Cai Yi would become more and more watery after such a long time of absence.

Seeing that the two of them were like this, Yun Xiao remembered that the two of them treated themselves as dead, and a faint smile appeared in their eyes. “Get up.”

The two of them were kowtowing. They didn’t expect Yun Xiao to actually speak to them. Even though they were frightened, they looked up at Yun Xiao and said, “Gu … Miss?”

Yun Xiao was embarrassed. It seemed that the result of her death was quite successful. “Do you think I look like a dead person?”

Qing Yi was a little more courageous. Hearing this, she carefully reached out to touch Yun Xiao’s clothes. She felt a sense of reality and was immediately surprised, “Miss? Are you still alive?”

Just as Tsing Yi and Cai Yi were about to persist, they heard a shrill shout, “How could we die? Quickly inform mother and father to invite them here.”

The duo turned their heads and looked back. They saw two tall figures. They immediately widened their eyes in astonishment, “Uncle? Second Young Master?”

Yun Lan frowned and said sternly, “Hurry up and invite someone.”

Although they really wanted to go to the front yard, they were still dead in everyone’s eyes. If they rushed out like this, it would only cause panic in the entire mansion.

Sensing Yun Lan’s anger, Qing Yi and Cai Yi immediately regained their senses. They bowed respectfully and greeted the few of them. They quickly ran out. However, they didn’t take two steps before Qing Yi said to Cai Yi, “You go invite Madam and Master over first. I’ll make tea for Miss, Uncle and Second Young Master.”

Caiyi naturally didn’t dare to have any meaning and quickly ran down.

Seeing the figures of the two quickly disappear, Yun Xiao’s eyes revealed a faint smile. “I didn’t expect that after such a long time, our faces would be able to frighten people.”

Rong Jin gently rubbed Yun Xiao’s hair, his eyes filled with pampering. He said softly, “Isn’t it your idea from before that caused everyone to misunderstand?”

Yun Lan had heard about what had happened when Yun Xiao married back then, but the self-blame in his eyes was even greater.

At that time, the Yun Clan was struggling. It was precisely when he wanted to support the door, but he was not in the capital.

Looking at their figures, Yun Lan was very tactful and didn’t say anything.
