Seeing the backs of everyone leaving, Shen Mingyan only felt that her mother's son almost fell, and hurriedly held on: "Mother"

Qin Qingyu took heavy steps and slowly entered the hall.

In the center of the hall, on the large mahogany table covered with a dark red satin tablecloth, there were four dishes, one soup, and a pot of wine, which were neatly arranged. Sweet and sour carp, roasted pork ribs in sauce, stir-fried chrysanthemum, shredded bamboo shoots with tea and shrimp soup sprinkled with coriander foam. The plates and bowls are made of fine white porcelain. The jug is made of transparent jade, and the inside of the jug is a dark red wine, and you can smell the enticing fragrance from afar. In the pale yellow basket on one side of the table, the neatly folded long silk is bright and white.

Qin Qingyu stood still for a while, and suddenly stepped forward and pulled up the tablecloth. Instantly, the plates and bowls of wine and food were scattered all over the ground. The white silk was also splashed with greasy vegetable soup, and the thick soup slowly spread on the white silk.

The hall fell into dead silence, Qin Qingyu sat heavily on the chair, and after a long time, he said leisurely: "Sister, go find him, don't worry about your mother." It's your mother who has dragged you down all these years. ”

Shen Mingyan slowly squatted down, lay on her mother's knees and said, "Let's go together!"

"Sister-in-law!" Qin Qingyu picked up her daughter's face and gently wiped away the tears on her pink cheeks: "You heard my mother's mother say that my mother's body won't last long." You are still young, but your mother didn't protect you. You listen to your mother and go out to find him. As long as you are good, your mother has no regrets. Under Jiuquan, my mother can also explain to your father. ”

Shen Mingyan shook her head, and no one could shake the determination in her eyes: "Mother doesn't leave!

"Young lady!" The woman in the dark blue dress entered the hall and knelt down along with the three grandmothers and six young maids in green clothes: "Madame has an order, let the slave and maid wait to return home, and I can't wait for the young lady and the in-laws." ”

Shen Mingyan turned her head to look at the kneeling servant and smiled faintly: "Go!"

The woman in the dark blue dress looked up and said, "The young lady and the in-laws have always regarded the slaves and maids as family members. Madame can't bear to be so slave. The young lady and the in-laws should leave. The slave and maid will wait in the back mountain with a carriage, and when it gets darker, the young lady will leave. As he spoke, he held up a brown silk cloth bag: "This is this month's food money, and it hasn't been spent yet, so the young lady keeps it for coiling." ”

Shen Mingyan took the silk bag with red eyes: "Aunt Gu's great grace, Shen Mingyan must remember!"

Everyone kowtowed again and said in unison: "Young lady, take care of your in-laws!"

After everyone left, the hall was extremely quiet for a while.

The mother and daughter sat quietly, only the light and shadow gradually dimmed.

The cat quietly came to the mother and daughter, her round blue eyes shining brightly. Seeing that the mother and daughter did not move, the cat paced, sniffed the broken fish on the ground, and opened her mouth to eat!

"Xue'er!" Shen Mingyan exclaimed, and the frightened cat jumped away again.

"Come on!" Shen Mingyan clapped her hands at the cat.

The cat obediently jumped into Shen Mingyan's arms, and her fluffy round head was against Shen Mingyan's arm, as if begging: Master, I'm hungry.

Qin Qingyu let out a long sigh: "Let's go, my mother will go with you! Sooner rather than later, you go and clean up and wait for the sky to get darker, and we'll leave." ”

"Okay!" Shen Ming put the cat on her mother's lap: "Sister-in-law will come soon." ”

Watching Shen Mingyu enter the inner room, Qin Qingyu took out a small bronze dagger from his sleeve that was half a foot long. The handle of the dagger is inlaid with a dark red gem, and the sheath is decorated with a coiled dragon pattern. Perhaps due to the daily stroke, the pattern of the entire scabbard appears round and shiny. Qin Qingyu gently covered the dagger on his chest with both hands. After a while, Qin Qingyu slowly pulled out the dagger, and in the dimness, the dagger flashed blue light and was extremely sharp.

Qin Qingyu stared at the dagger and said to herself: "Maybe I should have left a long time ago, only if I go, can my concubine have a way to live." ”

The cat, which had been lying on Qin Qingyu's lap, suddenly jumped onto the mahogany table, hunched over and let out the most poignant scream. The hair on the cat's whole body almost stood up, and its blue eyes stared fiercely outside.

"What's wrong with Xue'er?" the cat's abnormality caused Qin Qingyu's vigilance, and she couldn't help but clench the dagger.

The cat bared its teeth at Qin Qingyu, and the snow-white ball rose into the air and flew to the inner room in an instant.

Qin Qingyu took a deep breath before he smelled a pungent smell of burnt paste in the air, and turned his head to see that there was already thick black smoke outside the hall.

That unique taste, Qin Qingyu will never forget for the rest of his life!

Qin Qingyu slowly closed the dagger, put it in his sleeve, slowly stood up and said to himself, "After all, I still can't escape." ”

"Mother!" Shen Mingyan also seemed to feel abnormal, and rushed out: "Mother, mother"

The cat followed Shen Mingyan out and shrunk into a ball on the carpet between the mother and daughter.

Billowing smoke had already poured into the hall. With such a fire, it is bound to be impossible to get out, Qin Qingyu hugged her daughter with a pain in her heart: "Sister-in-law, my poor child"

Shen Mingyan hugged her mother tightly, looked at the firelight around her and said fiercely: "I didn't expect the Sun family to be so vicious!"

"Child" Qin Qingyu only cried: "It's all your mother who dragged you down!"

"No!" Shen Mingyan pushed away her mother's hug, took her hand and walked out: "The small pond in the backyard leads to the outside of the courtyard. Before the fire reaches here, let's flee quickly. ”

"Child!" Qin Qingyu dragged Shen Mingyu: "It's useless! It's the smell of hot oil! You see that there is fire all around, we can't escape!"

"Fire oil?" Shen Mingyan exhaled deeply and spit out: "They really look up to our mother." "Presumably, Mrs. Sun saw that she was unwilling to accompany the funeral, so the servants who withdrew burned the courtyard. It's just that Shen Mingyan didn't expect her to start so quickly.

"Child, hug your mother, soon!" Qin Qingyu hugged her daughter tightly: "Soon, soon we will be able to see your father." Don't be afraid!"

The black smoke and heat wave that came to her face made Shen Ming's eyes narrow: "Mother, it's useless to be a concubine! ”

The fire borrowed the wind, and the wind helped the fire, and in an instant, the entire mansion was engulfed in flames.

The fire burned out in the silent night, and the bright light of the fire lit up the entire night sky.

A two-seater carriage with black canvas was waiting quietly on the side of the mountain road. The black-clad horse was restlessly lifting its hooves, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time and was a little impatient. In the verdant ginkgo forest not far away, a tall man wearing a dark robe and an ink-colored cloak stood with his hands in his hands, silent like a tall ginkgo tree.

The sky-high flames illuminated the ginkgo forest, and the man's hands had clenched into fists at his sides.

Did they set this fire after they escaped?

The man couldn't help but walk quickly to the carriage, and by the light of the fire, he drove the carriage towards the sea of fire!

At the same time, on the highest tower in the Western Capital, a pair of eyes narrowed with worry, looking at the fire and faint distraction.

A young man in green clothes unfolded a snow-white thick silk cloak and put it on the man's shoulder: "Second master, it's late at night, it's cool carefully!"

The man's body did not move, and he tried his best to adjust his voice: "Is the person who inquired back? Is it really the Sun family's courtyard that is walking in the water?"

"Not yet" the little guy lowered his voice: "The second master looks at it every day, you say yes, it must be." That Uncle Sun was indeed gone last night."

"Go!" the man exhaled deeply, frowned and closed his eyes, and in the night light, two lines of tears slowly flowed.
