Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 524
Chapter 524 Her Support
Yun Xiao had originally married Rong Jin for the sake of the expediency of the child in her belly. She had never thought that she and Rong Jin would reach this point.
Originally, she only wanted to bring her child back to the capital after giving birth, but she didn’t expect that Rong Jin would abandon the throne that she could easily obtain for her. In addition, everything he did for her moved Yunxiao.
After a long time, it was hard to suppress his attachment to Rong Jin’s heart, and all of his emotions fell into Rong Jin’s tenderness.
Everyone frowned when they heard Yun Xiao’s words. Yun Maozhe stared fixedly into Yun Xiao’s eyes, “What would you do if I chose the Eastern Jin Dynasty?”
Yun Xiao’s mind trembled slightly. She looked at Yun Maozhe in disbelief. “If father decides to stay in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, my husband and I will stay in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Even if there is a war between the two countries, we will still protect Yun Clan. As long as the two of us are alive, we will not let anyone touch Yun Clan,” Yun Xiao whispered with a faint smile.
No matter what, she owed it to the Yun Clan.
In her previous life, it was her foolishness that caused the Yun Clan to end up being plagiarized by an unrecognizable treacherous person.
In this life, it was she who married Rong Jin and caused the Yun Clan to suffer. She had to bear the responsibility of protecting the Yun Clan’s people.
Hearing Yun Xiao say this word by word, Yun Maozhe’s tense face finally became a little gentler. “Since you can say these words, you are worthy of being my Yun Clan’s daughter! You are worthy of being my father’s daughter.” This daughter always did what she said, and once she said it, she would definitely do it.
Therefore, Yun Maozhe was very satisfied with the resoluteness of the Yun Clan’s words.
Yun Xiao did not expect Yun Maozhe’s expression to change so quickly.
He looked at Yun Maozhe in surprise, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his heart. “What does daddy mean?”
Yun Maozhe did not reply to Yun Xiao’s words. Instead, he turned to look at Second Master Yun, who was standing beside him. “Second Brother, if I decide to go to Country of Xiyue with Xiao Xiao, will you come with us?”
Second Master Yun was stunned for a moment and said without thinking, “Naturally, everything I have now was begged by Brother Xiao for my second uncle. Right now, it’s just a matter of being able to do it with two sleeves.”
Yun Xiao looked at Second Master Yun gratefully, “Thank you, Second Uncle.” From thrift to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to thrift is difficult. This sentence has been regarded as a scenic spot for thousands of years.
After Second Uncle had been an official for such a long time, he definitely understood the temptation of power to a person. Being able to resolutely give up made Yun Xiao very touched.
‘”What are you thanking me for? We are all family,” Second Master Yun said with a faint smile that made people feel very gentle.
Yun Xiao’en said, then looked at Yun Maozhe, “Daddy, did you agree to go to the West Vietnam with me?”
“Yes,” Yun Maozhe said, his gaze filled with unconcealable regret. Now that he could point to the fact that his daughter and son were all in Country of Xiyue, there was no need for him to persevere.
He had worked hard in the Eastern Jin Dynasty for many years and rashly left the place where he was born and raised, feeling very uncomfortable in his heart.
Yun Xiao naturally understood his feelings and whispered, “Daddy, don’t worry. We will come back in the future.” She believed that Rong Jin would definitely have the strength to win this battle. At that time, they would naturally come back.
Yun Maozhe only smiled indifferently, but he didn’t have any expectations of being able to return.
“Since Daddy has decided to leave, let’s transfer the Yun Clan’s things first.” The Yun Clan’s assets must be transferred.
Previously, when Yun Xiao sent people to pick up Yun Maozhe, she had only told Yun Maozhe to leave the capital to seek refuge, but she did not state Rong Jin’s identity. Therefore, the Yun Family had only packed up a few things and did not make any big movements.
“Yes,” Yun Maozhe said with a faint gratitude. However, his voice was still somewhat tired and unnatural. He waved his hand and said, “You guys go down first. I want to rest for a while.”
Yun Xiao nodded. She knew that Yun Maozhe was still confused for a moment. She exchanged glances with Rong Jin and walked out.
Behind him, Second Master Yun’s family also walked out. However, just as they walked out of the door, Yun Xiao heard Madam Yu calling out to her from behind.
Yun Xiao turned around and looked at Madam Yu with a puzzled expression, “Second Aunt, is there anything else?”
“Second Aunt still owes you a thank you.” Madam Yu grabbed Yun Xiao’s hand and patted it twice before saying softly, “The Yun Clan will always be your support.”
Yun Xiao immediately understood what Madam Yu meant. There was a sparkle in her eyes and the corner of her mouth raised slightly. “Second Aunt, don’t worry, he treats me very well.”
What Madam Yu was worried about was that her identity was not worthy of Rong Jin’s. Rong Jin was the Swallow King in Country of Xiyue, and she was only the daughter of a merchant. She was also the daughter of an enemy merchant. How could such an identity be matched?
Madam Yu’s words were also an indication of the Yun Clan’s attitude.
It also conveyed the intentions of Yun Maozhe and Second Master Yun.
In order for her to be happy, the Yun Clan decided to go to the West Vietnam. It was only because once news of the Yun Clan’s people in the Eastern Jin Dynasty spread out, even with Rong Jin’s backing in the West Vietnam, Yun Xiao would still find it difficult to walk.
‘”That’s good.” Madam Yu patted Yun Xiao’s hand gently, and her gaze became gentle. Then, she led the Min siblings into the distance.
Yun Xiao looked at the figure of Madam Yu and Second Master Yun leaving together. For some reason, a faint sour feeling actually arose in her heart.
Rong Jin walked over and held Yun Xiao’s hand. He said softly, “Let’s go back.”
Yun Xiao’en said, her mood somewhat messed up. At this moment, she only wanted to have a good rest.
One afternoon, although Yun Xiao and Rong Jin hadn’t left the Rose Courtyard, they had ordered many people to bring over the books of all the businesses under the Yun Clan’s name. In the afternoon, they stayed in the courtyard and read the books. With Rong Jin’s help, Yun Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
The sky gradually darkened, but only half of the books had been read.
Qing Yi walked in quickly and said respectfully, “Young lady, madam will send you to dinner.”
Yun Xiao’en said. She stood up and stretched her body. She looked at Rong Jin, who had just put down the ledger, and whispered, “I didn’t expect time to pass so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was already night.”
“Yes,” Rong Jin walked forward and rubbed Yun Xiao’s body a few times. Only when Yun Xiao felt better did he let go of Yun Xiao’s body.
The two of them washed up. Rong Jin held her hand and walked towards the courtyard. Yun Lan followed the two of them towards the courtyard.
However, when she was about to approach the front yard, Yun Xiao always felt that something was wrong. The maidservant guarding the front yard had a strange expression on her face.
She quickly walked forward. Yun Xiao did not enter first. Instead, she grabbed the maid guarding the door. Just as she was about to ask a question, she saw Qiushuang, dressed in autumn fragrance clothes, walking over quickly. She looked at Yun Xiao with an embarrassed expression. “Fourth aunt, you’ve finally come. Don’t go in now.”
Hearing Qiushuang’s words, Yun Xiao felt even more suspicious in her heart. “What happened inside?”
Qiushuang first glanced at the room in front of her. Seeing that no one had come out, she heaved a sigh of relief and said softly, “Old Madame and Mrs. Sun have returned from the courtyard. They are currently in the room.”
Yun Xiao was slightly stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed through Gujing Wubo’s eyes.
She had only just returned when the Yuan Clan and Sun Clan returned from the monastery. Wasn’t this a bit too coincidental?
Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Qiu Shuang. Even though she said, “Didn’t anyone from the monastery inform her about Grandmother and Madam Sun’s return from the monastery?”
Qiushuang shook her head. “I didn’t receive any notification. I don’t know exactly what happened. However, when Old Madame and Madam Sun returned, their faces were very embarrassed. There were traces of blood on their bodies.”
Yun Xiao’s gaze narrowed slightly. This matter was getting weirder and weirder. “Did grandmother and Madam Sun ever get hurt?”
The fact that the two of them had blood stains on their bodies was enough to show that something had happened in the other courtyard. However, Yun Xiao still did not know exactly what had happened in the other courtyard.
Qiushuang thought for a moment and told Yun Xiao everything that had happened before, “No, Madam has already asked a doctor to treat Old Madam and Madam Sun. They are just a little shocked, but nothing else.”
Hearing that, Yun Xiao’s expression became more and more embarrassed.
Something had happened in the monastery, but the Sun Clan and Yuan Clan were still intact. This matter revealed a strong strangeness.
There was a bad feeling in her heart. She always felt that the timing of their appearance was too coincidental, causing her heart to feel a little uneasy.
She looked at Yun Lan beside her and whispered, “Second Brother, go back and wait. My husband and I will go in and take a look at the situation.” She did not intend to expose Yun Lan’s identity.
Yun Lan did not refuse and immediately returned to his mansion.
Seeing that Yun Lan’s figure had disappeared, Yun Xiao looked at Rong Jin beside her and said, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
Qiushuang’s face was filled with embarrassment. “Fourth aunt, madam has instructed this servant. If you see the girl, you must persuade fourth aunt to go back.”
Yun Xiao smiled indifferently, “Don’t worry, Mother won’t blame you. I have a problem with this matter in my heart.” She went in just to see why the panic in her heart was coming.
When Qiushuang saw this, she did not stop him anymore. She followed behind Yun Xiao and Rong Jin. Yun Xiao did not remain idle and winked at Rong Jin. When Rong Jin’s other hand made an unknown gesture, a black shadow flashed across a large tree not far away.
Qiushuang quickly stepped forward and opened the curtain. Yun Xiao and Rong Jin entered. As soon as they stepped inside, they smelled a faint smell of blood. The corner of their mouths slightly rose. Gujing Wubo’s eyes landed on the main seat without blinking. He kept wiping the corners of his eyes with his handkerchief and Madam Sun, who was crying beside Madam Lu.
“What happened today? Grandmother is back too?” He whispered, frowning invisibly.
Just as Yun Xiao’s voice rang out, the people in the room looked at Yun Xiao’s body, especially Madam Sun and Madam Yuan. They looked at Yun Xiao with a trace of fear, hatred, and some hatred in their eyes, but they weren’t surprised.
