Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 525

Chapter 525 Killer Yun Xiao

A trace of understanding flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes, and the smile at the corner of her mouth also fell.

Yes, when a person who had been dead for more than half a year suddenly stood in front of him, the normal person’s reaction should be surprise and fear. At the very least, he would also reveal a puzzled expression.

But now, Madam Yuan and Madam Sun seemed to have known that Yun Xiao was not dead. There was only fear in their eyes, but no surprise or doubt. This was enough to show that something was wrong.

However, Yun Xiao did not make it clear. Instead, she said indifferently, “Granddaughter greets grandmother.”

Yun Xiao’s faint voice rang out again in the room before she pulled everyone back to their line of sight.

Madam Lu looked at Yun Xiao with a face full of reproach. She had clearly instructed Qiu Shuang to block the door and not allow Yun Xiao to enter, but she did not expect that Yun Xiao would still come in.

Yun Xiao met with Madam Yuan and Madam Sun, and if she continued to conceal it, it would only make people feel like there was a ghost, so she simply didn’t say anything.

“Get up,” Madam Yuan looked at Yun Xiao with a cold expression. His eyes flashed with an expression of wishing that Yun Xiao could die as soon as possible.

Yun Xiao was slightly surprised, but she still chuckled and said, “When did grandmother come back? Judging from grandmother’s pale complexion, I’m afraid her body is not well. Why don’t you let my husband take a pulse for grandmother?” Previously, when a maidservant went to invite her, Madam Yuan hadn’t come yet. It was only a short while before Madam Yuan and Madam Sun came back. The time between them was pretty good.

Madam Yuan coldly snorted. He coldly glanced at Rong Jin who was standing beside Yun Xiao and coldly snorted, “No need, I’m afraid of death. If someone wanted to harm me, wouldn’t I die?”

The implication was that Yun Xiao wanted Rong Jin to use the cure to kill her.

Yun Xiao sneered and whispered, “Since that’s the case, then forget it.” After she finished speaking, she pulled Rong Jin to sit down on the side.

In Madam Yuan’s eyes, her brows furrowed even more tightly. She said sternly, “Yunxiao, why don’t you kneel down!”

Yun Xiao looked at Madam Yuan in surprise and blinked her innocent eyes, “Why should I kneel down?”

“Why? You pretended to be dead and made the entire family worry about you. Shouldn’t you kneel down and apologize?” Madam Yuan snorted coldly, his heart filled with rage.

Back then, when she heard that Yun Xiao had been burned to death, she had been happy for many days. However, just when she was happy, ghosts and flames always ran around her, shouting for her to return her life. Her appearance was exactly the same as Yun Xiao’s.

At that time, she did not dare to fall asleep for a very long time, so the anger in her heart towards Yun Xiao became more and more intense, and she wished to devour her flesh and drink her blood.

Yun Xiao didn’t care about Madam Yuan’s attitude at all. She only whispered, “Why did grandmother say that I pretended to be dead? Back then, I was almost burned to death and saved by my husband. I went out to seek medical treatment for my illness. I just came back to see my father and mother. Grandmother scolded me when she saw that I didn’t have pity on me? What is the reason for that?”

Mrs. Yuan said sternly, “Have pity on you? The fire at that time was clearly just a play that you acted and directed yourself. Yet, it still has the face to make people pity you. Yunxiao, did you make a mistake?”

After she finished speaking, she suddenly pointed at the blood stains on her clothes and said with a cold expression, “Today, I was almost assassinated. The blood stains on my body were all traced by the people you sent after me. Fortunately, Madam Sun and I were hiding more tightly, otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to appear here today!”

“What?” Everyone in the room revealed astonished expressions. Who would have thought that the blood stains on Madam Yuan’s body were actually related to Yun Xiao?

However, Yun Xiao’s expression was still indifferent. She only had a faint expression, but she couldn’t help but mutter in her heart, she had been checking the books all day today, how could she have the time to send someone to kill Madam Yuan?

Not to mention, Rong Jin had sent them. If Rong Jin sent them out, how could he leave them alive?

“Grandmother said that I sent the person who assassinated Grandmother? Do you have any evidence?” Yun Xiao’s gaze was cold, carrying a dense threat.

“Those people are naming me by name. They said that you sent people to kill me, but now you actually want to deny it!” Madam Yuan slammed the table angrily. Because he was too strong, the teacups on the table jumped twice.

However, this action did not frighten Yun Xiao. “Grandmother, are you kidding me? What did those people say? Those people maliciously planted the stolen goods, and you directly slandered me without caring about grandson-grandson friendship?”

“Are you slandering me? I’m sure you know very well that you have to give me an explanation today!” Madam Yuan’s expression became colder and colder, and his aged face was filled with intense anger.

Madam Sun, who kept crying, Seeing that the time was almost up, He said softly, “Fourth aunt, Now my mother and I are helpless, Back then, we were gonna hide somewhere else, “I don’t want to cause any unnecessary trouble. Mother and I have been living in the monastery for more than half a year now. As soon as you return, you will kill us. We know that we did something wrong and have no complaints. As long as you speak, we will hand our lives over to you. However, you used your method to send people to assassinate us. It really chilled my heart and mother’s.”

Her words were gentle, but every single one of them kept pointing out that Yun Xiao was the murderer who had assassinated them!

Yun Xiao sneered. This Madam Sun is really getting better and better. “Grandmother only listens to other people’s nonsense, but she completely ignores grandchildren’s ease. It really chills my heart as a granddaughter.”

“Yun Xiao, don’t say anything more today. Honestly admit that you did this. I can let bygones be bygones!” Madam Yuan took a few deep breaths.

Yun Xiao, on the other hand, wanted to laugh very much. However, she was constantly calculating in her heart. The performance of Madam Yuan and Madam Sun today also confirmed Yun Xiao’s speculation.

The two of them were indeed instructed to come here.

Only the people who were watching the Yun Clan could know that she had returned. A trace of displeasure flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes. If her guess was correct, they should have been assigned to investigate by the woman from the Third Prince’s Mansion. Did she really come back?

Because there was someone supporting them from behind, the Yuan Clan and the Sun Clan dared to have such courage.

“Husband, someone slandered me. Can you prove my innocence?”

Rong Jin smiled indifferently, “Of course, but we still need to wait a bit longer.”

Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Madam Lu and the others, who were standing beside her, heaved a sigh of relief. “Since we still need to wait for some time, it’s already late, let’s prepare the meal first.”

Yun Xiao naturally didn’t have any objections, but Madam Yuan’s opinion was very big. “If we don’t resolve this matter today, we won’t even be allowed to eat.”

Madam Lu’s expression stiffened slightly before she took a step back.

However, at this moment, Yun Maozhe said loudly, “Set the food. I’m hungry.”

The maids immediately ran out of the room with the words of the head of the family.

However, being contradicted by her son like this caused Madam Yuan to lose her dignity. She said with an ugly expression, “You guys eat it yourself!”

“Alright,” Yun Maozhe replied indifferently. Then, he pulled Madam Lu’s hand and walked towards the dining table in front of him. The reason why Yun Maozhe was so cold was because he had completely given up on Madam Yuan. However, Madam Yuan was still his mother after all. “Someone, help Old Madame go back to rest first.”

Madam Yuan didn’t want to. She understood that she was her son. It was impossible for her to return this time. She said sternly, “No, I’m not tired. I’ll wait here. I want to see how Yun Xiao can prove her innocence.”

Yun Maozhe graciously said. He raised his head and looked in Yun Xiao’s direction. He saw that Yun Xiao’s expression was still faint, but her eyes were filled with confidence. Even if he knew that Yun Xiao was confident in proving her innocence, he said, “All of you, come and sit down.”

The others naturally followed suit.

Not long after, the full table of meals had been arranged. Yun Xiao took a look at the meals. Most of today’s dinner was also something she liked to eat. This kind of meticulousness made Yun Xiao feel grateful in her heart.

Fortunately, she still had the Yun Clan and her relatives.

Even if she married the enemy’s prince, as long as everyone was still alive, there would be hope for everything.

Madam Yuan never thought that Yun Maozhe would really bring his family to dinner. After all, she hurried on her way, so she did not eat. Seeing the people eating with relish, she was a little hungry.

However, since she couldn’t wipe away this face, she could only give Mrs. Sun, who was sobbing to one side, a glance.

Sun shi’s condition was not much better than Yuan shi’s, but she didn’t dare to ask her to speak. She lowered her head and pretended that she didn’t see Yuan shi’s words.

However, at this moment, Yun Xiao turned around and said with a gentle expression, “Grandmother, Second Mother, do you want to eat together first? We’ll settle the rest later.”

If anyone else said this, Madam Yuan would definitely go down this staircase. However, these words came from Yun Xiao’s mouth. If she went down the staircase, wouldn’t it mean that she was showing weakness? She immediately said coldly, “No need!”

Yun Xiao flattened her mouth and turned her head in a dull manner. However, when she turned around, she blinked her eyes in the direction of Madam Yuan and secretly provoked her.

Mrs. Yuan reached out her hand to press her lower abdomen, her teeth itching with hatred, but she could only endure it.

Madam Yuan and Madam Sun waited for Yun Xiao and the others to have dinner. Then, the maidservant withdrew her things. Seeing this, Madam Yuan heaved a sigh of relief. “Yun Xiao, after so long, you should explain to me the matter of sending someone to assassinate me, right?”

Yun Xiao smiled indifferently and looked at Rong Jin, who was beside her. She blinked her eyes, and some craftiness flashed in her eyes.

Then, she saw Qiushuang quickly come in and report, “Master, madam, there is a black-clothed man waiting outside with a dead man. He said that he wants to see Fourth Uncle.”

Now that Yun Maozhe knew Rong Jin’s identity, he thought that he should be Rong Jin’s hidden guard. After all, he was saved by Rong Jin’s people once during the New Year. “Let him in.”
