Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 529
Chapter 529 Jing Xu Was Furious
“Yun Xiao, don’t go too far!” County Lord Hui Ning, who was already in a bad mood, saw Yun Xiao ignore him one after another and his heart reached its peak.
Especially when she clearly looked at Yun Xiao looking in her direction, but her expression told her that what she was looking at was not her, but Xiao Yuqi behind her.
County princess Huining, who already had a grudge against Xiao Yuqi and her, how could she continue to endure?
Yun Xiao only responded indifferently. She completely ignored the anger towards County Lord Hui Ning and instead stood respectfully on one side.
County Lord Huining, who was once again ignored by Yun Xiao, had an increasingly embarrassed expression on his face. He was about to rush forward to teach Yun Xiao a lesson. However, before he could reach Yun Xiao, he was stopped by a figure.
In front of Yun Xiao was a man dressed in a long azure robe. There was an exquisite dark bamboo pattern embroidered on one foot of the robe. Although his height was not too obvious, he stood there, causing people to not dare to look at him.
Yun Xiao turned around and stuck her gaze on the man in front of her.
He hadn’t expected that Zhou Jingxu would have grown so tall after more than half a year of absence.
Her gaze landed on Zhou Jingxu, attracting Rong Jin to gently pull Yun Xiao’s small hand, tightening it to show her threat.
Yun Xiao immediately regained her senses and smiled indifferently in Rong Jin’s direction. Her expression became somewhat peculiar as she wrote in the palm of his hand, “It’s just an old friend.”
When Rong Jin saw Yun Xiao write this, a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes. He also continued to write in Yun Xiao’s palm, “Yes.”
Yun Xiao smiled indifferently, and her gaze fell on Zhou Jingxu again.
Although Zhou Jingxu was standing in front of him, Yun Xiao did not feel a trace of familiarity. It was only because of the hostility that Zhou Jingxu was standing in front of her and the low pressure emitted from his body that no one dared to look directly at him.
Inexplicably, Yun Xiao felt somewhat distressed in her heart.
The relationship between Zhou Jingxu and Zhou Jingchen brothers was extremely good. In her previous life, when Zhou Jingchen died, she had heard that Zhou Jingxu had also locked herself up in the palace for a long time. When she came out again, she would carry a knife to find the murderer.
In this life, Zhou Jingxu had memories of his previous life. Originally, he thought that he could protect Zhou Jingchen and save Zhou Jingchen’s death, but he didn’t expect that Zhou Jingchen would still die in front of him.
Having experienced so much at such a young age, one had to feel heartache.
“Your Highness, this is Father Emperor’s dormitory, not your Third Prince’s mansion. I can let you fool around here and disturb Father Emperor’s rest. If you continue to make trouble for no reason, I don’t mind having you directly kicked out!” Zhou Jingxu’s voice carried undisguised anger.
Ever since the death of the Crown Prince’s brother, Zhou Jingxu had treated the people of the Third Prince’s Mansion like enemies.
Being reprimanded by Zhou Jingxu in such a cold tone, coupled with his stern eyes, made county princess Hui Ning feel even more frightened, and her hands and feet were a little stiff.
Now that she had left the Third Prince’s Mansion, her words and deeds represented the Third Prince’s Mansion. Wasn’t being scolded like this lowering the face of the Third Prince’s Mansion?
Seeing everyone’s gazes at him with a good show, especially Xiao Yuqi’s eyes were filled with sarcasm, which made county princess Hui Ning’s mind heat up. Even though she said, “Ninth Prince, I am your cousin! You actually speak to me like this!”
Zhou Jingxu suddenly smiled and stared at county princess Huining with an increasingly cold gaze. “Cousin? After you married into the Third Prince’s Mansion, you were just a side princess. You no longer have the status of county princess Huining. Please remember clearly, if it weren’t for Mother’s kindness, how could you have the qualifications to come here? You actually dared to say such a rude thing?”
“You!” As Zhou Jingxu said this, the county princess of Hui Ning’s expression became even more embarrassed.
Her gaze at Zhou Jingxu was filled with malice.
In his previous life, Zhou Jingxu had died, and the time for his death had arrived very quickly.
Staring at Zhou Jingxu in front of him, county princess Hui Ning had already thought of the scene before Zhou Jingxu’s death in his mind.
Soon after, the throne belonged to Zhou Jingyan, and she was the Empress of the 10,000 people below her. A trace of arrogance appeared in her eyes, “I spoke rudely? Zhou Jingxu, you must remember that I am your Imperial Sister-in-law!”
“Is that so?” Zhou Jingxu coldly snorted. He was too lazy to look at county princess Hui Ning anymore. He directly said to the people outside, “Someone, come.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard quickly walked in and bowed respectfully to Zhou Jingxu, “What orders does His Highness the Ninth Prince have?”
“Drag Imperial Concubine Side down!” Zhou Jingxu’s voice no longer carried any warmth. His cold words echoed throughout the entire palace, continuously knocking on everyone’s eardrums.
Yun Xiao looked at Zhou Jingxu in shock, a strange look appearing in her eyes. Was this still the Zhou Jingxu she knew?
The others watched this scene in shock. Their faces were extremely embarrassed, but no one stepped forward to plead for county princess Hui Ning.
County princess Hui Ning never thought that, Zhou Jingxu actually dared to do this to him. His expression immediately became even more embarrassed. He looked at Xiao Yuqi and asked for help. However, Xiao Yuqi directly diverted her gaze. Obviously, she was too lazy to interfere with her affairs. Her lips trembled slightly. She clearly understood that if someone dragged her out from here, she would lose all face in the capital in the future. How would she dare to mention the Mother World? Her lips trembled slightly. She still felt that Zhou Jingxu was joking with her. “Zhou Jingxu, I am the third prince’s side concubine. Do you really want to be enemies with the third prince’s mansion?”
Zhou Jingxu’s expression was cold as he looked at County Lord Hui Ning as if he was looking at a dead person.
Before Zhou Jingxu could say anything even colder, he saw Imperial Concubine Hua frowning and coldly saying, “Enough, stop. Your Majesty is just a little weak now, so you guys are pinching here. Do you want Your Majesty to have a good rest?”
Zhou Jingxu only shifted his cold gaze to Concubine Hua’s face, and his expression became even colder and more ruthless. “If Concubine Hua truly cares for the body of Father Emperor, then you should personally bring Concubine Xian out.”
Imperial Concubine Hua had always been smooth in the palace. She had only suffered a great loss in Zhou Jingxu’s hands a few times. Seeing Zhou Jingxu suppress her face like this, she snorted coldly, “Isn’t His Highness the ninth prince’s words too heavy?” “You still don’t have the qualifications to interfere in my affairs. If you really want to interfere, you can go and ask His Majesty’s orders. Also, His Majesty is still alive, and you don’t care about everyone in His Majesty’s bedroom. What do you think His Majesty will think?”
Right now, only the ninth prince, Zhou Jingxu, had the strength to compete for the throne with the third prince. If Zhou Jingxu made a mistake, then His Majesty would only read Zhou Jingyan’s words.
However, Zhou Jingxu didn’t care at all and directly said, “Father Emperor will definitely not blame me! Someone, invite Imperial Concubine Hua and Imperial Concubine Side down together!”
The guard looked left and right. In the end, he respectfully stepped forward and respectfully extended his hand to Hua Fei and county princess Huining. “Your Highness, I have offended you.”
Imperial Concubine Hua looked at Zhou Jingxu with a cold expression. “I can leave on my own. There’s no need for anyone to invite me.”
After she finished speaking, even if she looked in the direction of the bedroom, the corners of her mouth curled into an evil and charming smile and she walked out.
This scene, no matter how good one’s cultivation was, everyone’s eyes widened in shock. They looked at Imperial Concubine Hua in disbelief. Did Imperial Concubine Hua really leave like this?
County princess Hui Ning did not expect Imperial Concubine Hua to leave so thoroughly. Her expression was a little embarrassed. She could not be as calm as Imperial Concubine Hua, but when she saw Zhou Jingxu staring at her coldly, her face turned even paler.
The guard in front of him said loudly, “Imperial Concubine Xian, let’s go.” It was completely different from the respect he had for Imperial Concubine Hua just now. Instead, it carried a trace of disdain.
The current county princess of Hui Ning had experienced so many things, and her status was far inferior to before she was married.
Now that she had married into the royal family, she had to understand the rules of the royal family. What the royal family hated the most was women that they could not carry clearly, but county princess Huining was such a person.
County Lord Hui Ning’s expression was cold as he looked at Zhou Jingxu. Then, he turned to look at Xiao Yuqi, who had an ice-cold expression not far away. His gaze once again shifted to that calm face. Gujing Wubo’s gaze landed on him, causing County Lord Hui Ning to have an intuition that Yun Xiao was mocking him.
He almost gritted his teeth in anger and stomped his foot. He snorted coldly, “Go out. However, Zhou Jingxu, you must not regret it!”
She finished speaking, but her feet did not move. She waited for Zhou Jingxu to regret and retain her. Unfortunately, Zhou Jingxu directly turned his gaze away and did not even look at her. Instead, his expression became even more embarrassed. He immediately turned around and walked out angrily.
As he passed by Yun Xiao’s side, his gaze was already ice-cold. He looked at Yun Xiao with hatred, “Yun Xiao, I will remember this grudge. In the future, I will definitely kill you to save my face.”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched. Is County Lord Hui Ning’s brain twitching?
Obviously, she didn’t say a word, but county princess Hui Ning was actually able to involve herself in everything?
This woman was truly unreasonable. “Then let’s wait and see.”
Yun Xiao saw the decisive figure of County Lord Hui Ning walking out, and a trace of regret appeared in her eyes. The current County Lord Hui Ning only relied on Zhou Jingyan as the emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in his previous life, which was why he dared to be so arrogant.
However, would Yun Xiao give her this chance to take revenge on him?
Yun Xiao looked at the azure figure not far away and sighed slowly. Although Zhou Jingxu could not see himself being bullied by County Lord Hui Ning, he was still impulsive today.
In the Jin Emperor’s heart today, he didn’t know what kind of impression he would leave behind.
At this moment, Eunuch Wei, who had entered the dormitory, finally returned. He bowed slightly to everyone and said loudly, “County princess An Ping, Young Master Rong, His Majesty asked this servant to invite you in.”
