"Eldest Sister, Xiao Cui is my personal maid. If you want to give her to someone else, you should have asked me first, right?”Yun Xuezhi's gaze was burning, and her tone was extremely cold.
Yun Xue Rao seemed to be prepared. She didn't panic at all, still smiling."Ai, Fifth Sister, Eldest Sister knows that you dote on Little Cui, but she is the Shi Family's grandaunt, so I can't reject her…Oh right, she will be a guest at our residence tomorrow. You are His Highness 'fiancée, so if you ask her to return it, perhaps she will give you face and return Little Cui to you!”
"Fourteenth Grandmother will come to our house?" At this moment, Yun Tian interrupted excitedly.
Yun Xue Rao looked at him strangely and nodded.
Yun Tian seemed to be very excited as she rubbed the pink silk in her hand repeatedly.
Yun Xuezhi frowned and did not say anything else. She turned around and left.
Things didn't seem to be that simple. She had never heard that the Yun family had any personal relationship with the people of the Shi residence. How did they suddenly become so familiar that they could bring their entire family to the Shi residence as guests?
For some reason, she felt very uneasy. Thinking that Xiao Cui would be back tomorrow, she did not think too much about it.
When most of the people had left, Madam Yun asked,"Rao 'er, who is this Fourteenth Grandmother? Why do you want to come to our residence?"
Yun Xue Rao smiled mysteriously and whispered into Madam Yun's ear,"Mother, her name is Chen Ahe. She's Mother Chen's biological granddaughter!”
"Could it be the one you arranged to toast Fifth Girl at the banquet?" Madame Yun was shocked.”
"That's right!" Yun Xue Rao nodded proudly." That day, she saw Mother Chen get killed with her own eyes. She was shocked and suddenly disappeared. I thought she just disappeared! A few days ago, she sent a letter over, asking us to visit the Shi residence. Only then did I know that that girl had actually become the Shi residence's grandaunt!”
A gratified smile appeared on Madame Yun's face.""So, she wants to take revenge on Fifth Girl?”
Yun Xue Rao nodded and raised her eyebrows proudly."That's right! Fourteenth Grandmother had already arranged everything. Mother, just wait and see a good show!”
The two mothers looked at each other and smiled. Their cold expressions were surprisingly similar.
The next morning, the people of the Yun Residence got busy. Yun Xue Rao ordered the servants to clean the courtyard while Madam Yun arranged the meals for the next few days.
Yun Xuezhi stayed alone in the Breeze Pavilion, listening to the noise outside, but her heart was surprisingly calm.
Although she hated this place, it would not be long before she would marry into the Xuan Imperial Residence, that slightly shabby but exceptionally unique place. At that time, she would also bring Xiao Cui along. With her character, she should be able to get along well with Uncle Yu and the rest…
However, before that, she had to figure out one thing: How did her mother die?
If it was really Madame Yun's doing, she would never let this woman off!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Yun Xuezhi asked coldly,"Who is it?"
"Yo, Fifth Sister, you're not up yet!" Yun Xue Rao said warmly," The Shi Residence's Fourteenth Grandmother is about to arrive. Logically speaking, everyone in the Yun Residence should be welcoming her!”
Thinking that Xiao Cui was still with Fourteenth Grandmother, Yun Xuezhi did not refuse and got up to open the door.
Yun Xue Rao smiled and pulled her arm."Let's go, Fifth Sister. Fourteenth Grandma also wants to see you immediately!”
Her unusual enthusiasm made Yun Xuezhi frown. She felt that things were not that simple.
When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the mansion, everyone in the Yun family was waiting there. Yun Xue Shuang was still busy, helping Yun Xue Rao like a housekeeper. Yun Xue Bi and Yun Xue Chu stood lazily at the side, whispering to each other from time to time. Only Yun Tian stretched his neck and looked around with an excited expression.
Yun Xuezhi brushed away Yun Xue Rao's hand and stood silently at the back.
Yun Xue Rao glared at her unhappily, then smiled and walked to Madam Yun's side.
Not long after, a long line of people was seen marching towards the Residence of Yun.
"Coming, coming!" Yun Xue Rao happily shook Madam Yun's arm and quickly went up to her.
In the middle of the procession was a large palanquin with a curtain made of golden thread and a beam made of red coral wood. On the top of the palanquin was a large "Shi" character, which was also shining in gold. There were about sixteen servants accompanying them, and all of them were dressed exquisitely. One look and one could tell that they were from a wealthy family.
Yun Xuezhi looked coldly at this ostentatious team and could not help but frown.
Although the Shi Family was ranked at the bottom of the four great families, it was still an extremely powerful family in the Eastern Region. Its reputation in the Eastern Region was not very good.
They controlled all the gambling businesses in the Eastern Region and even had a lot of business in the black market. Because they paid a lot of silver to the court every year, the Emperor turned a blind eye to it. This made the Shi family even more fearless. It was said that the Shi family's gambling dens would kill people every year, but no officials dared to ask.
Therefore, she did not have a good impression of this Shi family.
The palanquin stopped at the entrance of the Residence of Yun. The bearer shouted,"Fall!" The palanquin was placed on the ground steadily.
Yun Xue Rao quickly opened the curtain and smiled."Yo, Fourteenth Grandma, you're here so early today?”
A young woman came out of the palanquin with her head lowered. She was very beautiful. She wore a long dress embroidered with silk and gold threads. The hem of the dress was decorated with a few bright-colored gems. She wore a golden jade hairpin on her head. Her hair was full of golden hairpins. Her hands were full of jade fingers. It was obvious that she had enjoyed a lot in the Shi family.
Chen Ahe looked up at the plaque of the Residence of Yun and said with infinite emotion,""I thought I would never come here again. Fate is really teasing me!”
" That's right, why didn't you come and take a look…" Yun Xue Rao said softly and quickly turned to look at Yun Xue Zhi." There's no chance now!"”
A cold light flashed in Chen Ahe's eyes. She turned to look at Yun Xuezhi and slowly walked in front of her.
"Fifth Miss, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you still look the same!”She sized up Yun Xuezhi without any politeness. Her eyes were filled with arrogance and even a trace of ruthlessness.
"Fourteenth Grandma, you're too polite!" Yun Xuezhi replied lightly. When she saw Fourteenth Grandma's face clearly, her heart could not help but tighten and she frowned slightly.
She had never thought that the Shi Residence's Fourteenth Grandmother was actually the pink-clothed woman who had offered her the bewitching wine at the banquet that day!
Yun Xuezhi looked at the group and realized that there was no sign of Xiao Cui. She could not help but frown." Where's Xiao Cui?”
Chen Ahe pretended to be puzzled and replied,""Which Xiao Cui?"
"It's the maid you wanted from my residence!”Yun Xue Rao immediately reminded him.
"Oh, you mean her!" Chen Ahe lazily brushed her hair." That girl is not obedient. I locked her in the woodshed to let her reflect on herself!”
After saying that, she deliberately glanced at Yun Xuezhi, her eyes full of provocation.
" I heard that the Fourth Prince has taken a fancy to you and wants to marry you back to the Prince's mansion as his princess consort..." Fourteenth Grandmother lowered her head and played with her jade-like fingers. She said casually," I heard from my master that the Fourth Prince is eccentric and difficult to get along with. He has never been close to a woman for so many years and seems to have a penchant for breaking his sleeves... You have to be careful when you marry him!"”
Hearing her say that about her sweetheart, Yun Xue Rao pouted unhappily and rolled her eyes.
Yun Xuezhi was not angry. She smiled and replied generously," I naturally know what kind of person His Highness is better than anyone else. There's no need for Fourteenth Grandmother to worry…" At this time, she changed the topic." But no matter what, I'll be the first wife if I marry him. Compared to the title of Fourteenth Grandmother, I'm afraid it's better!"”
" You..." Chen Ahe was so angry that she couldn't speak. Seeing that so many people were present, she couldn't flare up on the spot, so she could only walk into the Residence of Yun angrily.
The two of them were like fire and water when they met. Yun Xue Rao was naturally overjoyed. She blinked at Madam Yun and pretended to be worried as she chased after her.
" Fourteenth Grandma, Fifth Sister is like this…" Yun Xue Rao whispered into Chen He's ear." Ever since she hooked up with Fourth Prince, she doesn't put anyone in her eyes. Your Grandma offended her because of a small matter, so…"
Yun Xue Rao looked like she couldn't bear to continue, but she wiped the corners of her eyes and secretly observed Chen Ah He's reaction.
Sure enough, after her instigation, the hatred in Chen Ahe's eyes grew stronger. She said coldly,"I came back this time to avenge my grandmother!”
" But that girl has been officially proposed by Lord Four…" Yun Xue Rao reminded him carefully.
"So what?" Chen Ahe snorted disdainfully. She was not even an official member of the royal family! When the time comes, I'll get my master to smooth things out!”
"Then let's do as Fourteenth Grandma says!”Yun Xue Rao was delighted.
Seeing Yun Xue Rao whispering in Chen Ah He's ear, Yun Xue Zhi knew that nothing good was going to happen. However, the most important thing now was to get Xiao Cui back.
Yun Xuezhi walked in front of Chen Ahe and said softly,""Fourteenth Grandmother, since Xiao Cui is disobedient in your residence, let her come back and be my personal maid!”
Chen Ahe took a sip of tea and said without looking up,""This girl has no manners, that's because Master didn't teach her well…I'll help you teach her well before sending her back, isn't that better?”
"No need! To me, Xiao Cui is already very good!”Yun Xuezhi held back her anger and replied politely.
Chen Ahe frowned unhappily and said coldly,""Fifth Young Lady, don't tell me you won't give me face?”
"Aiya, Fifth Sister, since Fourteenth Grandma has already said so, what are you still worried about? The Shi Manor did not lack anything, so he just needed to wait a few days!”Yun Xue Rao quickly tried to mediate the situation.
Yun Xuezhi frowned and did not answer.
Chen Ahe must have come back this time to seek revenge on him. Xiao Cui was also his personal maid. How could she let her go so easily?
But now, she didn't have a suitable excuse to make Chen Ahe release her immediately, so she could only hold back her anger for the time being.
"Fourteenth Grandma, you must not have eaten breakfast since you left so early in the morning, right? I've asked the kitchen to prepare some of your favorite food. Eat first, and I'll accompany you around!”Yun Xue Rao's face almost bloomed with smiles.
"Alright!" Chen Ahe nodded. She stretched out her right hand and let Yun Xue Rao help her up.
