Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 84
Chapter 084 Stir Up the Flames of War
Seeing that the sharp dagger in Yun Xiao’s hand was about to fall, Rong Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, “Wait!”
The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth curled into a sneer as she looked at Rong Jin behind her. “What? Are you afraid that you won’t be able to leave the Third Prince’s Mansion to stop me?”
Rong Jin’s eyebrows trembled slightly, and the corner of his mouth lightly smiled, “You’re wrong.” Under Yun Xiao’s surprised gaze, Rong Jin calmly took a few steps forward, and then he held Yun Xiao’s right hand holding the dagger.
Yun Xiao’s hand was slightly stiff. Just as she was about to pull her hand away, Rong Jin had already pulled her hand against Zhou Jingyan’s third rib with the sharp tip of the dagger. “Since you want him to shred his corpse into ten thousand pieces, then stab him here. In this position, even if he didn’t die, it would still make people feel as if they weren’t alive.”
When Yun Xiao heard Rong Jin’s words, her hand trembled slightly. He was clearly speaking so gently, but Yun Xiao felt an icy cold aura instantly assaulting her entire body, and a wisp of icy cold feeling rose from the soles of her feet. “You …”
“Don’t you dare to make a move?” Rong Jin looked at Yun Xiao mockingly, loosened his grip on her hand, and said loudly, “Next time, don’t reveal your thoughts until you have made up your mind. If you can’t do it, it will only make people look down on you.”
After Yun Xiao heard this, she felt her face turn red. She raised the dagger in her hand high up, and her brain suddenly became clear at this moment. “Are you trying to provoke a general?”
Rong Jin smiled faintly and praised Yun Xiao for her self-control. “Wrong, I’m just telling you how to assassinate to make people feel the greatest pain.”
“Will he die?”
“No.”
After Yun Xiao received Rong Jin’s reply, she lowered her head to look at Rong Jin who had been lying down. The corner of her mouth curled into a cold smile. Since she would not die, it was still possible to collect only a little interest!
She raised her head and looked at Rong Jin, who had been looking at her. A faint mockery appeared on the corner of her mouth. “It’s said that the doctor hurt people invisibly, but you are tangible. Borrow a silver needle.” After she finished speaking, she directly took a silver needle from Rong Jin’s other hand, closed her eyes, and stabbed at the position Rong Jin had just mentioned.
She looked at Zhou Jingyan’s twisted and painful face even when he was in a coma. She felt a little better. In her previous life, she had tasted the pain of losing her family and children. In this life, she had only just received a little interest.
She took the silver needle and twisted it on that point before putting it away. She handed it back to Rong Jin and said mockingly, “It’s said that it’s better to offend a noble than a doctor. That’s true.”
Rong Jin withdrew the silver needle and said, “I’m flattered.”
Yun Xiao snorted coldly. Then, she looked at this familiar room. In her previous life, she was so familiar with this place. She closed her eyes, as if she could still see the men and women in this room. She turned around and sat down at the table. “You can start saving people. My family’s well-being depends on you.”
Rong Jin smiled faintly. Looking at Zhou Jingyan’s twisted face, he smiled and said, “It’s easy to say.”
Yun Xiao no longer cared about Rong Jin. She just looked at the pen stand on the table and was distracted. After a long time, she picked up a pen and dipped it in ink. On the paper, she kept writing the word “Yun”.
The more she wrote, the more uneasy her heart became. She suddenly put down the pen in her hand, pulled out the paper, and used all her strength to form a ball, fiercely throwing it on the ground.
She turned to look at Rong Jin, who was behind her. When she met that person’s faint eyebrows, her heart suddenly calmed down. At this moment, a chaotic voice came from outside, mixed with the voice of a woman.
Yun Xiao felt that this voice was very familiar, but for a moment, she couldn’t remember who it was. The people that she felt familiar with here must be from her previous life. After looking at Rong Jin, Yun Xiao decided to go out.
Just as she opened the door, she saw a woman wearing an autumn-colored dress standing outside. The woman had an anxious appearance, but her twisted face appeared on her face somewhat inappropriately. Yun Xiao recognized this woman with a single glance. She did not expect to meet an old acquaintance.
“What’s the point of being noisy? Do you want to see the Third Prince die before you feel at ease? Who will bear the blame for delaying the treatment of the Third Prince?”
With a cold snort, the outside world instantly quieted down. Everyone looked at the door, including the beauty.
However, Yun Xiao completely ignored it and directly said, “Drag this woman down because of her noise. My doctor just made a mistake and almost took the life of the Third Prince.”
Hearing Yun Xiao’s words, Butler Li was immediately nervous. “What happened to the Third Prince?”
Yun Xiao snorted coldly, “It’s fine now. If this continues, the matter will be big. I think Butler Li definitely doesn’t want this to happen, right?”
Housekeeper Li stared blankly at the girl beside him, his eyes filled with reproach. “Madam, you can go back first.”
The woman Butler Li called Madam was Butler Li’s only daughter, Li Qiaolan. She grew up in the Third Prince’s Mansion and admired Zhou Jingyan more. Later, she actually climbed onto Zhou Jingyan’s bed. Zhou Jingyan did not execute her in order to appease Steward Li. Instead, he took her in as his wife. She relied on Steward Li’s status in the mansion to bully maids and powerless madams everywhere and offended many people.
When those people found out about Li Qiaolan’s identity, they didn’t dare to file a complaint. She even used her own methods to cultivate her appearance after Zhou Jingyan ascended the throne.
As for this woman, she had used countless spears to hurt her reputation, intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, the discovery of musk fragrance on Butler Li’s body during the abortion had a lot to do with this woman.
Housekeeper Li was ordered to do so, but didn’t he have the mood to show his daughter power?
Li Qiaolan had originally stewed a pot of soup to send to Zhou Jingyan. Now that another beauty had entered the manor, If she wanted to preserve her status, she had to conceive her child earlier. Zhou Jingyan had not woken up for the past month. Although her father had always said that Zhou Jingyan would be fine, she was still worried. She wanted to use this opportunity to give Zhou Jingyan some aphrodisiac soup to conceive his child as soon as possible. This way, even if Zhou Jingyan died, she would have a guarantee!
However, she did not expect that after speaking for a long time at the door, her father was still unwilling to let her in. He even asked the guards to stop her. Instead, she called out a woman’s accusation with tears in her eyes. She was secretly vigilant in her heart, “Who are you? Why did you come out of the Third Prince’s room?”
Yun Xiao snorted coldly. Why had she been bullied by such a brainless woman back then? “I am Xiao Yuqi, the direct descendant of the Duke of Xiao. I advise you to be honest if you want to live with your father in the Third Prince’s Mansion.”
This was the first time Li Qiaolan had been scolded like this, “You bitch, you actually dare to talk to me like this!”
Yun Xiao curled her lips and smiled. Since this woman could not recognize her identity, she did not mind helping her recall it. “Oh? You are just a thing inferior to a concubine. Why can’t I speak like this? Speak pleasantly. You are the wife of the Third Prince Feng. To put it nicely, you are just a slave.”
Li Qiaolan’s face suddenly turned green and white. “You bitch actually dared to scold me. You are insulting the Third Prince.”
“Oh? You are just a watchdog. How can you represent the identity of the Third Prince? I am a direct descendant of the dignified Duke of Xiao Manor, and I am also a distinguished guest of your manor. Could this be the way your Third Prince Manor treats guests?” Yun Xiao’s words were not polite at all.
Cold sweat broke out on Butler Li’s forehead. He looked in Yun Xiao’s direction. This matter was indeed Qiaoyun’s fault. “Madam, please go back first.”
What happened today would definitely reach Zhou Jingyan’s ears. He still had to think about how to apologize to save his daughter’s life.
However, someone couldn’t see the current situation. “Why should I leave? She scolded our Third Prince’s Mansion. Can’t I reply?”
Yun Xiao smiled faintly, “Mrs. Li’s words are funny. How can I scold your prince’s mansion? I’m just teaching you to recognize your identity.” Looking at Li Qiaoyun’s pale face, Yun Xiao felt a burst of relief in her heart.
This time, she had vented all of her grievances and hatred towards the Third Prince’s Mansion, as well as her hatred for Zhou Jingyan and Li Qiaoyun’s ridicule of her past on Li Qiaoyun. This kind of feeling was not bad.
Li Qiaolan’s expression was slightly angry. She picked up the soup bowl on the tray and smashed it towards Yun Xiao with her head in her pocket. “I don’t need a bitch’s identity.”
Yun Xiao had been watching her every move. Seeing her move, she immediately took a step to the left to dodge Li Qiaoyun’s attack.
Who knew that at this moment, County Lord Hui Ning, who was walking over from the side, had just walked over. This bowl of soup landed on County Lord Hui Ning’s body. County Lord Hui Ning cried out in surprise, “Ah!” He jumped up.
When Yun Xiao saw this, the corner of her mouth curled into a faint smile. She walked to County Lord Huining and said regretfully, “County Lord, what a pity. This bowl of soup was specially prepared for the Third Prince by Madam Li. I didn’t expect that she would actually feed the County Lord’s clothes.”
County princess Hui Ning wanted to get angry at Yunxiao when she heard this, but she suddenly realized a problem, Mrs. Li? Isn’t that the Third Prince’s woman?
However, a madam actually dared to be so unreasonable. Her expression changed, “Someone, capture this woman!”
Everyone looked at Steward Li in unison. Housekeeper Li frowned slightly. No matter how bad his daughter was, she was unwilling to teach others a lesson. However, looking at County Lord Hui Ning’s dirty clothes, it was indeed Li Qiaolan’s fault. He gave Li Qiaolan a look. Unfortunately, Li Qiaolan was angry at this moment and did not see Housekeeper Li’s hint. “This is the Third Prince’s Mansion. I want to see who dares to arrest me.”
County princess Hui Ning did not expect this woman to be so bold. Since she was so bold, she must have relied on Zhou Jingyan’s favor. When she thought of this, a wave of sour water immediately surged in her heart.
How could she tolerate other women occupying an important position in Zhou Jingyan’s heart?
“County princess, you can’t catch Madam Li. This is the heart of the Third Prince. Not only that, she is also the biological daughter of Butler Li.” Yun Xiao looked at the two of them as the flames of war were about to ignite and the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
“So what? I am the Third Prince’s cousin, County Lord Hui Ning. I want to see who dares to say no. Someone, capture this woman and slap her twenty times!”
