Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 69

Chapter 069 You’re Honored
Just as Yun Xiao’s voice fell, the dull aura in the room immediately dissipated.

The corners of the black-clothed man’s mouth stiffened slightly. “This is the first time I know that cursing someone can be so calm.”

Yun Xiao used her uninjured hand to pour herself a cup of tea. Her voice was faint, so that no one could tell that she was acting strangely. “You are very honored.”

The black-clothed man looked at the woman with a realistic expression. No woman had ever been so calm when facing someone who wanted to kill him. “Do you want to know how much money you’re worth?”

This time, Yun Xiao finally looked at the black-clothed man, and the corner of her mouth revealed a trace of mockery that seemed to be indistinct. “I don’t want to, I have the final say on how much my life is worth!”

Her voice was clearly indifferent and emotionless, but it carried an imperceptible majesty in the ears of the people in the room.

The black-clothed man was playing with a piece of paper in his hand. Then, at an extremely fast speed, he passed the piece of paper into Yun Xiao’s hand. Evil and charming voices sounded again, “Sign and press a palm print. I’ll take over the business myself.”

It was rare for him to encounter such an interesting task. It was truly too bad for him not to accept it.

Yun Xiao glanced at the paper and browsed through the words on it. She knew clearly that this paper was only the Ten Directions Palace’s trading contract. She got up and took out her ink. She wrote her name with her uninjured right hand, and specially wrote “one tael of silver” in the amount column.

“Chun Lan, give me the money!”

Chun Lan was finally pulled back to her senses by Yun Xiao’s voice. She immediately flipped over her body for a while, and finally only took out two copper coins. Her face was slightly flushed, “Young lady, that’s all.”

They were originally going to the Imperial Palace for a banquet tonight, and all the silver on their bodies had been tidied up by the palace people. At this time, only three copper coins remained, but when they changed their clothes, they seemed to have lost one.

Rong Ruo suddenly coughed lightly and took out a copper plate from her small hand. “It just so happens that I can get one here.”

After he finished speaking, he raised his head slightly and looked at the black-clothed man in a leisurely manner, “Can three copper coins be used?”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly. She didn’t expect that there would be someone even darker than herself. However, she was curious about what the black-clothed man would do now, so she didn’t say anything.

The black-clothed man looked at the three copper coins in the hands of the maidservant and Rong Ruo. The corner of his mouth twitched fiercely again. This was the first time he had revealed such an expression tonight.

His charming phoenix eyes landed on Yun Xiao’s body. He suddenly flew to Yun Xiao’s side and pulled out a jade hairpin from Yun Xiao’s hair with lightning speed. “Since Fourth Young Lady can’t take out a tael of silver, then use this jade hairpin to offset it. When Fourth Young Lady has that tael of silver, she will come to me to get it back.”

There were many people who wanted him to suffer a loss, but there was only one person who could truly make him suffer a loss!

As he finished speaking, he had already pulled back the piece of paper in her hand. Finally, he saw Yun Xiao’s three thousand ink hair hanging on her shoulder. The charm in her phoenix eyes became even more seductive. When Yun Xiao reacted, she had already disappeared from the room.

Rong Ruo immediately wanted to chase after him. She didn’t expect that he had already obtained the hairpin on Yun Xiao’s head before she even noticed his movements.

“Mother, I’m sorry.”

Yun Xiao rubbed Rong Ruo’s hair and said, “It doesn’t matter. He has no intention of killing me. Go to sleep quickly.”

If he wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t have said so much nonsense to him. It was precisely because of this that he dared to really negotiate with the black-clothed man.

Chun Lan was still a little worried, “What about the hairpin?” The hairpin of the girl who hadn’t left the pavilion had been taken away, and such a thing was not good for the reputation of the fourth girl.

“Don’t worry, I’ll think of a way to get it back.” The black-clothed man actually did such a thing. Yun Xiao would bring back the silver tael no matter what she said at that time, but now, there was no medicine for regret in the world that could be given to her.

Of course, what Yun Xiao wasn’t worried about was that her hairpin didn’t leave any traces related to her. Even if someone had obtained the hairpin, it wouldn’t matter to her.

Since that was the case, why would he care so much about it?

However, in the middle of the night, Yun Xiao only felt a splitting headache. Her entire body was dazed. She seemed to hear someone talking beside her. She seemed to be able to hear it clearly, but she did not seem to be able to hear it clearly.

She felt that there was some bitter medicinal liquid in her mouth, and the bitter smell spread throughout her entire body.

She struggled to shake her head, not to drink the medicine. She remembered that someone had forced her to drink the medicine, and then her child, who had been pregnant for two months, was lost.

“Be good, drink the medicine. The doctor said that the child you are pregnant with is a stillborn child. It will be even more painful to give birth to a child that is no longer alive. Recently, your body has been unwell. For your own sake, you must drink this medicine.”

She struggled desperately and could not drink medicine. Even if the child she was pregnant with was still a stillborn child, she still wanted to keep this child. This was the third time she was pregnant, but in the end, the first two children were not saved. She did not believe that she would be pregnant again with great difficulty and would actually be a stillborn child.

“I don’t drink, I don’t drink, the child isn’t dead …”

Under her intense struggle, the bowl of pills finally landed on the ground and shattered with a “pa” sound.

At that moment, she clearly felt relieved in her heart. As long as she did not drink medicine, her child would survive. She did not allow anyone to hurt her child. She was only two months pregnant, so how could she know that it was a stillborn child?

She didn’t believe it, didn’t believe it …

However, when she raised her eyes, she saw that the gentle man in the dark blue robe was still standing beside her with a bowl of medicine. “Xiaoxiao, I know that you don’t want to give up the child, and I also don’t want to give up, but your body can’t have a child now. It’s just a stillborn child, and we’ll still have a child …”

She continued to struggle, and the face of the man who always had a warm smile finally changed. “I’m doing this for your own good. You have to drink this medicine even if you don’t drink it …”

Yun Xiao stretched out her hand and landed on the man’s warm hand, “I won’t drink …”

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at everything familiar in the room. She was still slightly uncomfortable. She had just dreamed of the scene from her previous life again, so when she looked at the scene in front of her, she only thought that she was still in a dream.

There was a strong smell of medicinal juice in the room. Yun Xiao was not sure if she was in a dream or in reality.

However, when she saw the people on the side clearly, she felt her nose was slightly sour.

Madam Lu sat on the edge of Yunxiao’s bed and said with a worried expression, “Xiaoxiao, I know the smell of the medicine is not good, but your body is even more important. What happened yesterday caused me to have a cold. I didn’t even tell Mother. Does Nuo Nuo want Mother to die of anxiety?”

Yun Xiao blinked her eyes. Her eyes suddenly widened. Last night?

She remembered that she went to the Imperial Palace for a banquet and was chased after by someone. She was injured and asked for help from Rong Jin. Then, she went back to Yun Mansion’s own courtyard and saw the black-clothed man in the Ten Directions Palace. Then, she did not remember …

Seeing Yun Xiao’s dumbfounded appearance, Madam Lu’s eyes were slightly moist. “Xiao Xiao, listen to mother. Would you like to drink some medicine?”

Yun Xiao greedily looked at Lu shi’s face. She was still alive. She was no longer the Yun Xiao of her previous life. She had already lived another life …

After drinking all the bitter medicine in her stomach, Yun Xiao felt that her dizzy head had finally become clearer.

“Auntie, your cold last night was very severe. If it weren’t for my father’s arrival, Auntie’s body would have been very severe.” A milk voice sounded. Yun Xiao looked over and saw a small figure standing beside the bed.

At this moment, under Rong Ruo’s feet was a pile of porcelain bowl fragments and some thick soup. It turned out that she had not only knocked over the medicine bowl in her dream, she had actually knocked over the medicine bowl in reality. No wonder the feeling in her dream was so real. No wonder she felt that her breath was filled with the smell of medicine.

She raised her eyes to look at everyone in the room. The person standing with Rong Ruo was Brother Han. At this moment, Yun Lan looked at her worriedly, even though he was drinking tea with Rong Jin.

Opposite him was a man dressed in a long moon-white robe. The man’s ink hair was tied behind his head with a two-fingered silk belt. His moist face carried a faint smile, and his brows and eyes were focused on the teacup in his hand, as if nothing in the world could enter his eyes.

Brother Han hurriedly ran to the edge of the bed, “Fourth sister, how are you?”

Yun Xiao gently shook her head, “I’m fine, you don’t need to worry. Come, Brother Han, help sister up.”

Brother Han obediently helped Yun Xiao up and then looked at Rong Ruo, “Ruo Ruo, why is your father here?”

Although Rong Ruo and Rong Jin parted in displeasure last night, But at this moment, he could only smile and explain, “early this morning, I saw that aunt had not woken up, I came over to take a look. Who knew that I would see you get colder and have a high fever, so I went to find Madam Lu to get a doctor for Auntie. The people in the manor were busy rinsing the blood stains at the entrance, and everyone was panicking. I don’t know how Auntie’s grandmother heard about Auntie’s late return, so I told you everything that happened last night … ”

From Rong Ruo’s words, Yun Xiao understood. If Rong said that a bad person wanted to catch him last night, she was hit by herself who came out of the Imperial Palace.

After risking his life to save himself, his father, Rong Jin, arrived and saved the two of them, while Yun Mansion’s guards were all killed.

Originally, Madam Yuan still had her doubts, but when she saw Rong Jin coming to her house with a big gift, they finally disappeared.

If it was something else, she would definitely be able to find trouble with Yun Xiao. She didn’t expect that it was to save people or people who had business dealings with Yun Maozhe. Madam Yuan could only swallow all the blame.

And Rong Jin also showed that he knew medicine, so he was brought to treat him in the end.

She looked at the faint-eyed man and revealed an obscure smile.
