Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 60

Chapter 060 The Mysterious Man
The carriage walked forward for a while before stopping at the side. Not long after, Chun Lan brought Lan Shuya over and got into the carriage.

Today, Lan Shuya wore a light purple butterfly play dressing gown. She combed her hair in a simple bun. There was only a jewel hairpin tipped diagonally in her bun. Although this hairpin was very simple, the gem on it was very eye-catching. Just this gem was worth more than a hundred taels of silver, and this hairpin was gifted by herself.

Lan Shuya had just boarded the carriage when her watery eyes burst into tears, causing people to feel pity for her. Even if Yun Xiao was a woman, she couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy.

Yun Xiao secretly sneered in her heart. It was this face that caused her to ascend step by step in the harem. Looking at this beautiful face, Yun Xiao would only think of her own child who had died miserably. “Cousin, what’s wrong?”

Lan Shuya did not like the trip to the Second Elder Princess’ mansion. In addition, she heard that Yun Xiao had gone to live in the manor. She thought that she had been kicked out of the manor by the Yun Family, so she did not rush to look for her.

Moreover, because of the assassination of the Crown Prince, the entire capital was full of rumors. The Crown Prince was assassinated outside the city. At this moment, even outside the city, she was eager for Yun Xiao to die tragically.

However, this time, she did not expect that not only was Yun Xiao fine, but she had also taken charge of the Yun Clan’s property. She was tempted again.

He took out his handkerchief and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. “I’m fine,” he said. “Those kids don’t want to talk to my cousin about the things they’re worried about anymore. I’m going to make my cousin unhappy.”

If it was as usual, the more she didn’t say it, the more Yun Xiao thought that she was wronged. She tried to persuade him kindly, then asked him what had happened, and then returned with some good things for nothing.

However, now, Yun Xiao only poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lan Shuya. “Since cousin is unwilling to say it, I won’t force you. There are so many things that I can’t ask every time.”

Lan Shuya was stunned. She never expected Yun Xiao to say such words. This topic was wrong! However, he didn’t say anything, and now he couldn’t refute his words. He was secretly anxious, so he could only give Yu Tan a look.

Yu Tan lowered her eyebrows and immediately knelt down. She clicked her head and cried, “I beg fourth young miss to make the decision for my young miss. My young miss is only a relative of the fourth young miss, and no one can rely on her anymore.”

Just as she said those words, Lan Shuya hurriedly said, “I didn’t even say anything. Are you not even listening to me?”

Yu Tan nodded at Lan Shuya again before saying, “Miss, this servant is unfair to you. The Lan family doesn’t even treat this girl as their master.”

After she finished speaking, Lan Shuya lowered her head and said, and no longer retort, Yu Tan cried and said, “I don’t know, Ever since he returned from the Eldest Princess’ Mansion, Madam Lan hated my princess for stealing the limelight from the big girl, so she scolded her fiercely. She had been locked up for half a month. This half month’s food was inferior to even a servant’s. When my girl came out, Madam Lan used my girl to serve in front of her, but she kept scolding and beating her. My girl’s life was really too bitter … ”

Yun Xiao listened to her and only took a sip from her teacup before saying, “Are you done?”

Neither Yu Tan nor Lan Shuya expected Yun Xiao to react like this. Even if she was stunned, Yu Tan said after a while, “This servant is finished.”

Yun Xiao slowly put down the teacup in her hand and chuckled softly. Then, she slapped Yu Tan with lightning speed. This slap did not show any mercy, and a “pa” sound rang out in the silent carriage.

Yu Tan was also stunned by the beating, “Fourth Miss?”

Lan Shuya quickly regained her senses. She looked at Yun Xiao’s gaze with a trace of malice. Yun Xiao actually hit her personal maidservant in front of her, hitting her face.

However, she was rather shrewd, so she quickly lowered her eyebrows and concealed the expression in her eyes. She whispered, “Cousin? Yu Tan said the wrong thing. I’ll bring Yu Tan to apologize to you.”

“The woman in the hall, respect parents. Every morning, ask An Kang first. Cold bakes fire, hot fans cool. Hunger is food, thirst is soup. Parents should not be in a hurry to prosecute. He listened closely and thought about it early in the night. If there is anything wrong, change from long. Mo Xuemin said, disrespecting his parents. To make arrogant, in need of escort, or to compete for clothes. Parents are unfortunate and short-lived. Search for wealth, regardless of sorrow and mourning. “Such a woman, a dog and a wolf.” Yun Xiao recited the female Analects of Confucius once before saying, “Your parents are no longer parents. Your cousin’s concubine mother and mother are both alive. How can you cause trouble?” “As a personal maidservant, if you don’t serve your cousin properly, you will instead sow discord. What is your motive?”

Yu Tan had never seen Yun Yao’s expression change like this before, and her face was filled with fear. “This servant was wrong. Please forgive me, Fourth Young Lady.”

Lan Shuya clenched her palms tightly, her eyes filled with hatred. “Cousin, don’t blame her. I didn’t teach her well, so I’ll bring her back to discipline her later.”

Yun Xiao chuckled, “It’s good that my cousin doesn’t blame me for meddling in other people’s affairs. In that case, I can rest assured that my cousin has suffered so much grievances. As a cousin, I can’t just sit idly by and watch.”

Lan Shuya’s eyes suddenly lit up at this moment. If Yun Xiao wanted to interfere in this matter, she would definitely make Yun Xiao pay the price! “Thank you, cousin.”

The carriage soon arrived at the garment shop. Lady Su was already waiting at the door. Seeing Yun Clan’s carriage, she immediately greeted respectfully, “Fourth Miss is here.”

Yun Xiao gave a faint kindness and then smiled at Lan Shuya. “Cousin, it’s the Empress’ birthday party in a few days. Cousin will definitely attend. Why don’t you just stay here and ask Lady Su to choose a dress for her cousin? She will definitely be able to make her cousin get used to the surroundings.”

Since nothing had happened to the Crown Prince, the Emperor would definitely use the Empress’ birthday banquet to appease the officials. This birthday banquet would definitely not be small.

Lan Shuya’s eyes suddenly lit up. This kind of occasion was the most suitable for her. Madam Lan would definitely think of all kinds of ways to stop her, but she must go. “Thank you, cousin.”

Yun Xiao chuckled, “We are cousins. Quickly ask Lady Su to choose.”

Not long after, Lan Shuya picked out two dresses and looked reluctantly at them. “Cousin, which one do you think looks good?”

Yun Xiao saw through Lan Shuya’s meaning with a single glance, “If cousin likes it, then let’s take it with us.”

Lan Shuya couldn’t help but laugh, “Thank you, cousin.”

It was only after sending Lan Shuya away that Chun Lan asked in surprise, “Miss, why are you?”

Lan Shuya only curled her lips and smiled, “Don’t worry, there are some things that aren’t as simple as the eyes can see.”

Although Chun Lan still had her doubts, she didn’t ask anything. She was a qualified maidservant.

When Yun Xiao returned to the Yun manor, she saw Chun Lin guarding the courtyard entrance. She frowned and said, “What happened?”

Chun Lin coughed softly and respectfully handed the post in his hand to Yun Xiao. “This is a post from the Empress.”

Yun Xiao was slightly stunned. She opened the thread and read it once, her brows knitted tightly.

When she went to see Zhou Jingchen, she was dressed in disguise. Zhou Jingchen would definitely not recognize him as the one who told him this news. However, this invitation invitation was indeed for her. She could not understand why this was happening.

At this time in her previous life, she had indeed interacted with Third Prince Zhou Jingyan. But now, Zhou Jingyan was still lying on the hospital bed, and it was County Lord Hui Ning who sent him back. She would never have anything to do with him.

This was the first time she had entered the palace in her previous life. She had entered the palace to thank Zhou Jingyan after her wedding, but now, she had actually moved up by such a long time? Why was this?

Yun Xiao couldn’t figure it out, and her mood was somewhat irritable.

The sky slowly darkened, and the room was also faintly lit. Yun Xiao kept writing large words in front of the table to calm herself down.

At this moment, Yun Xiao suddenly heard a strange voice.

Frowning, she looked into the empty room and frowned slightly, “Who is it?”

“I didn’t expect you to be alert,” a straightforward male voice sounded in the room, with a trace of admiration in it.

“In the middle of the night, I broke into the woman’s bedroom without permission. Could it be that this was done by a man?” So what if it’s admiration? If others found out that there was a man barging into his room, even if his entire body was covered in mouths, he wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly. Moreover, there were many people in this courtyard who were staring at him all the time.

“I’m just here to remind you that the maids in your courtyard are out of the wall again.” The man’s voice rang out and soon disappeared. “We’ll meet again.”

Hearing that voice go far away, Yun Xiao suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. However, she once again paid attention to the safety issue beside her. If anyone could sneak into her yard, wouldn’t her master become the meat on someone else’s chopping board?

“Again?” A hint of mockery flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes. Then, she opened the door and walked out. Sure enough, she saw a sneaky and mysterious figure at the entrance of the courtyard. The corner of her mouth curled up slightly, “Chun Zhu? What are you doing there?”

The figure at the entrance of the courtyard stiffened slightly. Soon, he turned around and walked over. His expression was a little panicked, but his words were very smooth. “This servant couldn’t sleep, so I walked at the entrance. I didn’t expect to disturb the girl. This servant deserves to die.”

Yun Xiao’s gaze looked at Chun Zhu’s body for a while, and the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. “Since you can’t sleep, then accompany me for a walk.” After she finished speaking, she walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Although Chun Zhu wanted to stop him, there was no excuse. Panic occupied Chun Zhu’s face and her body trembled slightly. Before she could think about it, she immediately knelt down and said, “This servant deserves to die. Please forgive me.”

Yun Xiao walked out of the courtyard door and saw a corner of her clothes disappear behind the courtyard wall, pretending that she didn’t see anything.

She indifferently turned around and looked at Chun Zhu, who had a frightened expression, “What are you doing? Get up quickly. If others see me, they would think that I’m harshly reprimanding my servants.”

Chun Zhu looked around and saw nothing strange. He heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Young lady, be merciful.”

Yun Xiao raised her head to look at the moon flashing through the dark clouds and said softly, “The moon tonight is really beautiful. Even if the dark clouds can block the moon’s light for a while, they will still occasionally let the moon bloom with the most dazzling light.”

Even if the road ahead was rough, for the sake of her family, she would not retreat!
