Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 70

Chapter 070 Hidden Needle In Laughter
When Madam Lu and the others left, Yun Xiao looked at the gentle man and said, “Thank you today.”

“Fourth Young Lady, there’s no need to thank me. I’m only doing this for Ruo Ruo’s mother.” After Rong Jin finished speaking, he turned to look at the pale-faced woman. Although she looked sick, her pair of eyes seemed to be alive. “Of course, if Fourth Young Lady really wanted to thank me, she might as well give me a few prescriptions that looked like snow pills.”

When Yun Xiao heard this, the corner of her mouth unconsciously cursed the profiteer. Xue Rong Wan had only sold for half a month, but she had already earned quite a bit of money. Therefore, this time, Rong Jin had obviously tasted the profits.

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled up slightly, “I only have that prescription right now. If you want other prescriptions, why don’t you go find Sister Xiao?”

If her guess is correct, Xiao Yuqi must be changing now. In her previous life, it was only after changing that these prescriptions were circulated. Now, she must know these prescriptions.

Rong Jin was stunned, “Miss Xiao?”

His gaze landed on Yun Xiao’s body, and a pair of phoenix eyes carried a bit of inquiry. He had seen that Miss Xiao twice, and there was a slight difference between the former and the latter. He could feel it.

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled up slightly and she nodded. Xiao Yuqi and Rong Jin had been together in their previous lives, and there would not be any mistakes in this life. She had finally filled in this loophole.

“No, I don’t like that Xiao Yuqi.” Just as their voices fell, Rong Ruo’s childish voice rang out.

Yun Xiao lowered her head and saw Rong Ruo with an unhappy expression. There was a trace of dissatisfaction on her pink and tender face. “Mother, even if you don’t like Daddy, don’t push Daddy to another woman.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth twitched slightly. Then, she reached out and touched Rong Ruo’s hair. “Alright,” anyway, Rong Jin hadn’t returned to Country of Xiyue yet. The marriage between the two of them was still early. There was no rush. She was only here to make up for this loophole that she had lost because of her rebirth. As for how things would develop in the future, this matter had nothing to do with herself.

Rong Jin looked at the woman who was discussing her marriage with Rong Ruo. Normally, if other people talked about their marriage, they would definitely reveal shy expressions. However, she was serious and her face was red, as if nothing could enter her eyes.

He recalled the night when he first met Yun Xiao, If it was an ordinary woman, She was afraid that if she suffered such a thing, she would definitely die and prove her innocence. Who knew that she would do the opposite? She had managed to get a life-saving talisman in the Yun Clan. This was truly not something an ordinary woman could do. However, the more she got along with Yun Xiao now, the more she wanted to find out what exactly was going on in this woman’s head.

Rong Ruo remembered what happened last night. She still had a lot of feelings for Rong Jin. She only snorted coldly, “Daddy, look at you. Mother doesn’t want you anymore.”

When Yun Xiao heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched fiercely again. She coughed dryly, “Ruo, how long do you want to live in Yun Mansion?”

Rong Ruo rolled her eyes, “If you want to see mother’s body is fine, then you will be at ease.”

Just as the atmosphere in the room was harmonious, Chun Mei respectfully walked in and said, “Miss, Second Miss Lan is here.”

Hearing this person’s name, Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with a strange expression. There really wasn’t a moment of peace.

“Invite her in.”

Rong Ruo stared at Yun Xiao’s face for a long time. For some reason, she felt that her mother’s face became a little gloomy at this moment.

Yun Xiao looked at Rong Jin who was at the side. He had no intention of leaving. He could only whisper, “Chun Lan, go inform the big kitchen. Today, add food. Young Master Rong is going to eat in our mansion.”

Rong Jin still didn’t make a sound. Yun Xiao turned to look in the direction where Rong Jin’s gaze was coming from. She saw that Rong Jin’s gaze was now on a flower by the window sill.

Chun Lan’s figure had just left when the woman in a pink dress entered the living room. Lan Shuya relaxed her simple moonlight bun and saved it with a few hairpins. Her beautiful face was now covered by thick powder. Her pair of eyes were like talking eyes, and she was about to cry.

Yun Xiao frowned slightly, “What happened to cousin?”

Lan Shuya originally wanted to go up and cry, but when there were other people in the living room, she stopped her feet.

She tried her best to take a deep breath. She wanted to show her best side in front of the man.

“It’s fine. I just heard that something happened to my cousin. I’m worried, so I came to take a look.” This was true. The news of blood stains at Yun Mansion’s entrance had already spread throughout the capital. Lan Shuya naturally heard about this matter. After some inquiry, she found out that this matter had something to do with Yun Xiao.

Therefore, he hurriedly came to visit, wanting to see Yun Xiao’s dying expression. Who would have thought that the person who appeared in front of him would be intact?

Yun Xiao’s gaze fell on Lan Shuya’s disappointed eyes before she said softly, “What happened to me? It was just wild dogs barking wildly at the door, so I ordered people to slaughter them all.”

Lan Shuya did not expect that things would turn out like this. When Yun Xiao spoke about the slaughter, her face did not turn red and she did not breathe. It was simply terrifying. In front of her, she was slightly pale.

It was as if the scene of Yun Xiao killing him with a sharp blade appeared in front of her eyes, and her body couldn’t help but shrink.

Seeing that, the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled up slightly. “Isn’t it a little cold, cousin? It’s already in November. No matter how good your cousin’s body is, she can’t endure this weather change. Chun Lin, go get my lotus-colored cloak.”

Lan Shuya’s expression darkened slightly. “Cousin, there’s no need. I’m not cold.”

Chun Lin had already brought over the lotus-colored cloak. Lan Shuya liked it very much when she saw it, but when she remembered that it was worn by Yun Xiao, her face immediately darkened. “Cousin’s cloak materials are extremely precious. My status is low, so it is not suitable for me to wear cousin’s clothes.”

Everyone knew that the strategy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was to emphasize agriculture and restrain commerce. The status of merchants was low. Even though Yun Clan was the largest imperial merchant in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, her status was still low. Lan Shuya’s father was the official of the court, and she was still an official woman no matter what.

As for her low status, she was clearly saying that Yun Xiao’s status was inferior to hers. How could she wear her clothes? However, if it was a new one, it would be another matter.

How could Yun Xiao not recognize the meaning behind her words? The corners of her mouth curled up gently, and a bright light flashed in her eyes. She seemed to have thought for a while before she said, “Cousin’s words are not without reason.”

Lan Shuya’s eyes instantly lit up. Her words just now were intended to attract Yun Xiao’s attention and lure her to give him something.

In the past, Yun Xiao would send her some clothes and headgear every few days, but now this kind of situation was very rare. It was almost winter. Her winter clothes were bought last year. Although Madam Lan was already preparing this year’s winter clothes, she knew what kind of clothes she would buy without looking at them.

When Yun Xiao saw that Lan Shuya had already revealed a happy expression, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. She then said, “Chun Lin, go and give the cloak I gave you a few days ago to your cousin. It seems that you haven’t worn it yet, so it should be suitable for your cousin to wear it.”

Once these words were spoken, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment and looked at Yun Xiao with dumbfounded eyes.

“What are you looking at me for? My clothes are all worn. My cousin said that my status is low, so I can’t make my cousin feel uncomfortable. That’s why I came up with such a good compromise.”

Although Rong Jin did not look at Yun Xiao’s face at this moment, he could still feel the craftiness in that woman’s eyes. The corner of his mouth hooked up slightly. The depths of his dark black eyes already carried traces of interest and anticipation.

Although Rong Ruo was small, she could already tell what the two adults were saying. The corner of her mouth rose slightly. Although Lan Shuya was beautiful, Rong Ruo did not like her. Hearing Yun Xiao say such words, even her eyes were filled with a smile.

His eyes shifted to Yun Xiao. He didn’t expect his mother’s belly to darken like this. On the other hand, his father was somewhat similar to Yun Xiao during the Peace Day.

At this moment, Rong Ruo looked forward to the two of them even more.

When Lan Shuya heard Yun Xiao’s words, the smile on her face disappeared. Her expression was a little stiff, and the light in her eyes disappeared without a trace.

She remembered the banquet in the palace last night and felt that she had lost all face to Yun Xiao.

Taking a deep breath, Lan Shuya could not suppress the anger in her heart.

Her watery eyes shone with tears, as if she was complaining about her injustice. In fact, her gaze landed on Yun Xiao. There was a trace of inquiry in her expression. It was unknown when Yun Xiao had treated her differently.

This time, she directly demoted her status to that of a maidservant. Her heart was filled with anger.

After taking a few breaths, Lan Shuya made her expression normal. “Cousin is too polite. I’m really not cold. It’s been a long time since I came out today. It’s time for me to go back. I won’t disturb my cousin’s rest anymore,” she said.

Without waiting for Yun Xiao to speak, she walked out. However, when she turned around, a thick hatred flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yu Tan hurriedly chased after him even though she was still somewhat out of shape.

When the two of them walked to the door, Yun Xiao seemed to be puzzled and said, “Cousin, what’s wrong?”

Lan Shuya’s footsteps stiffened slightly. She pretended not to hear this and walked out. However, this time, she straightened her back.

After the figures of the two disappeared, Rong Ruo laughed loudly. Her pair of obsidian eyes shone brightly, “Mother, Ruo Ruo finally knows your other side today.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled up slightly. She glanced at Rong Ruo and then said to Chun Lin beside her, “Chun Lin, what are you still standing for? Cousin has left, so you have to send the cloak over as well. By the way, tell Cousin that I will invite her to go with me to offer incense at fifteen.”

Chun Lin was slightly stunned as he looked over with a puzzled expression. He quickly restrained his expression and concealed the peculiarity in his eyes.
