"Oops, it's on fire——"
A frightened cry for help pierced the sky, and the hot and fierce sparks suddenly appeared in the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and soon illuminated the dark night.
The rapid sound of the gong woke up the people in their sleep. In just a blink of an eye, with the help of the dry night wind, the fire had spread to the two courtyards, catching everyone by surprise.
"Oh no, the old lady is still in the house!" Aunt Lei, who lived in the outer courtyard, covered her mouth and nose and ran out in a panic. She looked at the dazzling fire and patted her thigh anxiously, "Quick, hurry up. Please tell me, Your Majesty, to save people!"
However, the people in Liu Chengyu's courtyard were full of confusion, "The Crown Prince did not return home today."
What? !
Grandma Lei's pupils shrank, how could it be such a coincidence?
The news about Liu Chengyu beating people to death in the Flower House has not spread yet. Since Liang Guogong's Mansion was already involved, they got the first-hand news. At this time, everyone in the Yongding Marquis Mansion was still in the dark.
"Where is the Crown Prince's wife?"
"The fire in the corridor leading to Luoxueyuan is the most fierce. It's burning so hard that it's really hard to get through!"
"Wait a minute, Lieutenant General Cao, your legs and feet are inconvenient, it's too dangerous there -"
But before anyone could stop him, Vice General Cao had already dragged his lame leg into the sea of fire.
When Liu Chengyu returned home, the scene of flames in front of him shocked him speechless.
Aunt Lei, who had already fled to the door, seemed to have seen a savior, "The prince is finally back, the old lady is still in the house, prince, please save me!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Chengyu was shocked, glared and reprimanded, "How dare you abandon your master and run away? What's the point of the Marquis's raising you? You're a bunch of trash!"
After saying these words, he immediately lifted up his clothes and rushed in, but not in the direction of the old lady's yard.
He didn't seem to see the servants who were desperately trying to put out the fire. He walked all the way towards the study. He was blinded by the thick smoke. He was almost hit by falling beams several times. It was not until he looked at the study that had been buried in the fire that he froze. Stopped.
"Burned, everything burned..."
His life-saving thing, the escape route he left for himself, his trump card for a comeback...
All burned!
"Cheng, Cheng Yu! Mother thought she would never see you again!" After an unknown amount of time, the fire gradually dissipated, and everyone gathered in the safe front yard. Mrs. Liu coughed weakly, her face Still has traces of smoke.
She glanced at Deputy General Cao next to her with twinkling eyes. She never imagined that it would be this useless man she despised who would carry her out of the sea of fire!
Madam Liu felt ashamed and guilty. At first, she tried every possible means to drive the person out, but Vice General Cao ignored the past and risked his life to save her!
Liu Chengyu's hair was slightly messy and he looked very embarrassed. It could be said that this day was filled with dangers and dangers. He just got out of the trouble of hurting people in the flower house. After returning home, he almost lost his house!
"Mother, son, are everything okay?" The second lady, Mrs. Wen, rushed over. The old lady immediately glared at her, "It's okay! Haha, are you here to collect the body?"
"What an injustice! My daughter-in-law cares about her mother. As soon as she heard about the fire, she immediately arranged for people in the yard to help put out the fire!"
Mrs. Wen pretended to be nervous. In fact, the inexplicable fire only burned a few yards of the main house. The damage to her second house was not big. She chose a safe garden and did not show up until the chaos was over.
Mrs. Liu glared at her fiercely, "Where is Chengshan?"
"Second Master went out to drink again." When Wen mentioned Liu Chengshan's words, he sounded accustomed to it.
Since taking Jiang Ruyan in, Liu Chengshan's drinking has become even more serious, but Wen Shi no longer cares, she vented all her hatred for Liu Chengshan on Jiang Ruyan!
As for Liu Wenyao and Liu Wenxin, how could she let them live the kind of life where they were able to respond to every request? If Old Madam Liu hadn't been watching, she couldn't touch a hair on their head, but it would be fine to just leave them there and ignore them.
Liu Chengyu suddenly looked around and said abruptly, "Where is Xia Yunxian?"
Everyone looked at each other, yes, why couldn't they see the shadow of the Crown Prince's wife?
"Could it be that... you didn't escape?" Aunt Lei's heart skipped a beat, and these words made Liu Chengyu's mind go blank for an instant.
Didn't Xia Yunxian escape?
Was she burned to death in the fire?
Vice General Cao lowered his head with red eyes, "Luoxueyuan has collapsed!"
He didn't see anyone, maybe all of them...
Liu Chengyu opened his mouth and couldn't utter a single word. A boundless fear surged like a tide. His heart hurt sharply and his legs seemed to be out of control.
"Cheng Yu, where are you going? The house has collapsed, don't go!"
Mrs. Liu quickly asked someone to stop him. At this moment, someone didn't know who exclaimed, "Look, it's the Crown Prince's wife!"
The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and several people from Luoxueyuan appeared in the corner in a slightly embarrassed state. Aunt Zhang held the gray-faced Shen Ping, Chunxiao supported the pale-faced Xia Yunxian, and several others were also injured and looked tired.
"Yunxian, you..." Liu Chengyu's face was filled with joy and he couldn't help but walk towards Xia Yunxian.
Snapped!
A loud slap made everyone gasp.
Liu Chengyu felt the burning pain on his face and was stunned for a long time, but he saw that Xia Yunxian's eyes were colder than ever before, and they seemed to be faintly pulsing with the fire of hatred, but it made him feel so unreal.
Xia Yunxian's whole body trembled slightly, and his sad and desolate look made Liu Chengyu feel strangely strange, and an uncontrollable sense of fear arose in his heart.
"Yunxian, are you crazy?! Cheng Yu was planning to save you just now!"
Mrs. Liu came to her senses and immediately cursed, but Xia Yunxian ignored her and stared at Liu Chengyu, "Where did the prince go tonight?"
"Where else can I go? Of course I am busy with official duties. How can you doubt your husband like this? Apologize to Cheng Yu!" Madam Liu was filled with anger, but Liu Chengyu felt guilty.
Could it be that she has already heard about it?
The two of them just had a bad time in the palace. He went to have fun at night. As a result, the mansion was flooded and she almost died in the fire. This kind of thing would not be acceptable to anyone!
Liu Chengyu didn't think of any other reasons, "Listen to my explanation."
He wanted to reach out to hold Xia Yunxian, but she coldly avoided him, "In the flower house, I competed for the oiran and caused trouble, even though I lost my life, the prince was able to escape unscathed. He is really capable."
She knew that Cen Yurong behind Liu Chengyu would not stand idly by, but she didn't expect that she would act so quickly.
But it didn't matter, she had found what she was looking for.
Why take the oiran's life?
Everyone looked at each other, was what Mrs. Prince said true?
