"My Xi family is thin, and Xi Xing's clan is suspected of being bribed by outsiders." Xi Fuwei said in her heart, "Now that my father is sick, my son is young, and I am a woman, I don't have any connections that I can get along, and the only one who has friends outside is my brother." But my brother is gone, the so-called people go to tea and cool, those close friends he made during his lifetime, and now there are very few people who are willing to remember the old love. ”

The most important thing is that "the Wen family covers the sky with one hand in Dongchang Mansion, and although the elder brother is recognized as extremely talented when he is there, most of his reputation is still in Dongchang Mansion because of his age and deathbed. ”

"Even if those people want to help, I'm afraid they can't do anything, and they will even drag them down......"

She frowned, pondered for a long time, looked up and said to Xi Lian, "The Xi family's current way of life is to escape from Dongchang Mansion and go to a place where the Wen family's hand can't reach!" Second, it is to find a backer who the Wen family does not dare to make! ”

"But if the Wen family doesn't have any ill will towards us, it's okay, if there is......" Xi Lian hesitated, "I'm afraid that we have been targeted inside and out, and we won't be able to escape at all." Especially when Sun Gongzi is young, and the old man is still sick, although you have practiced some martial arts, in the end, it is your daughter's house, and it is inconvenient to go out, and it is difficult to take care of it. ”

Xi Fuwei said: "I think so too...... So I thought, our way out, I'm afraid it will still fall on the sudden nobleman. ”

How to find that nobleman, Xi Fuwei has already reminded him.

Xi Lian was embarrassed at this moment: "If the Wen family really wants to have a relationship with that nobleman, I'm afraid that someone will follow him now, and our people can't get close at all?" ”

Moreover, "According to Miss's speculation, that person came to meet the river, and he was obviously angry with the Wen family, but he still calmed down, and eighty percent of it was because the Wen family was deeply rooted in Dongchang Mansion, and the reopening of the canal was useful for them." In this case, even if we try to present what the Wen family did to the nobles, the nobles may not pay attention to it, and maybe, it will be handed over to the Wen family for disposal? ”

In that case, the Xi family will be more and more dead!

Xi Fuwei was about to answer, when there was a sudden commotion outside, and the faces of the master and servant changed when they heard the voice, and they were about to ask, but a little maid had already stumbled in, and said with a crying voice: "Miss, it's not good!" We're running out of water in our house! I got up from the main room! ”

"What?!" Xi Fuwei and Xi Lian were both shocked when they heard this, they didn't care to ask carefully, grabbed the door and ran back in a hurry!

Running wildly along the way, because Xi Zongwang learned the lesson that the Xi family was involved in the "Blue Jade Case" back then, in a hurry, the weak female dependents died not a few lessons, and raised their daughters as sons, taught literature and martial arts, and did not let their feet be bound, in order to once the family changed again, they could have more ways to live than those delicate women who were raised in the depths of the boudoir.

At this time, Xi Fuwei took three steps and made two steps, and even ran to the main house where Xi Zongwang lived before Xi Lian, and only when she arrived nearby, the heat of the tongue of fire came over, but she saw a group of maids and servants carrying buckets and basins, and they were fighting the fire in a panic, but compared to the surging of the fire, their efforts were really a little insignificant.

"Did Daddy get out?" Seeing this, Xi Fuwei's pupils contracted suddenly, grabbed a maid beside her, and asked sharply!

The maid was already frightened, and she was in a hurry to help under the scolding of others, but at this moment she was caught, more and more frightened, and she was incoherent for a long time, Xi Fuwei was angry, and a steward came next to her, and said urgently: "Miss, not only is the master still inside, but Sun Gongzi came to see the master, and he is also inside!" ”

When Xi Fuwei heard this, her eyes almost went dark!

Xu is face turned pale, and the steward hurriedly said: "Fang Cai is worried about the old man and Sun Gongzi, so he made his own decision and offered a reward of ten taels of silver, so that the people below could wrap the quilt soaked in water to save people, and ask the young lady to forgive!" ”

"You're doing a great job!" Xi Fuwei breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and hurriedly said, "It's just that ten taels of silver is too little, as long as Daddy and Jiao'er are safe and sound, you and the people who saved people will go to the account room to receive a hundred taels of silver each!" ”

At this time, the county official's salary was only forty or fifty taels of silver all year round, and the considerable extent of one hundred taels of silver can be imagined. When the steward and the people nearby heard this, they were all overjoyed, and there was no need for Xi Fuwei to order, and at that moment there were two healthy servants, who took off their coats and soaked them in the bucket, and poured water from their heads, and finally gritted their teeth and rushed into the fire!

There is a brave man under the heavy reward, after a while, someone really hugged a small figure and rushed out, this person should be the first to go in, the quilt on the body has already been baked dry, when it comes out like a fire man, rolling on the ground for a long time, the people next to him are also busy pouring water on him, which will put out the fire on the quilt, get up and sit up, revealing Xi Jiao in his arms.

Xi Jiao was young, and he was trapped in the fire for so long, and he asked this person to roll on the ground several times, and he was already a vegetarian, looking pale and shaky.

The frightened Xi Fuwei hurriedly stepped forward to check, urging someone to ask for a doctor, and asked, "Where is Daddy?" ”

The subordinate who rescued Xi Jiao breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The little one is incompetent, so he can only bring one person out, and the old man insists on sending the little one out first......

"Thank you!" Xi Fuwei's heart sank, Xi Zongwang was also a little old, and he fainted in a hurry before, and Xi Jiao who was rescued was so sluggish, I don't know if it has been so long, can Xi Zongwang still hold on?

But there are only a few people left in the Xi family now, it's not that she cherishes herself and refuses to go down to save her father in person, but she is not sure to save Xi Zongwang, if she folds herself in, what will her young nephew do?

Who cares if the Xi family is in this situation, whether it is bad luck or falling into someone's trap? !

Now he stubbornly pressed his worries and comforted himself: "Since Daddy has woken up, he will definitely find a way to take care of himself at this time." A few people have been encouraged by my bounty to go in and save people, and there will be good news soon! ”

It's just that...... After a while, the subordinates really worked together to bring Xi Zongwang out, but at this time, Xi Zongwang had only one breath left!

He had many burns all over his body, he looked hideous and terrifying, and his face was half ruined, if it weren't for the father and daughter getting along day and night, they would never have been separated for a long time for more than ten years, and they couldn't be more familiar with each other...... Xi Fuwei couldn't believe that this was her father who was okay half a day ago!

“…… Good...... Good! And Xi Zongwang, who was holding on to see his daughter's face, struggled to say this, pointed at Xi Jiao, and wanted to say something, but his hand suddenly fell!

Xi Fuwei knelt beside her father's corpse, her face was like paper, and her mind was blank!

…… I don't know how long it took, but she heard her own voice say, "Uncle Lian, I'm a little messed up now, what happened to my father's future...... I would like you to help me preside over it, I ...... I'll take Jiao'er there first and take a look later. ”

Xi Lian, who had been looking at her with worried eyes for a while, immediately nodded: "Miss, just go, just leave it to the old slave here!" ”

Xu is because the blessings of the Xi family have been exhausted, Xi Fuwei took Xi Jiao to the back not long ago, and Xi Lian, who was directing the arrangement of the mourning hall in front, received bad news again: The back hall is also gone!

Moreover, the fire is so big and spreading so fast that it is even more than the main hall!

Xi Lian ordered people to beat gongs and drums, attracting people from several nearby villages to help put out the fire, Rao is so, and it burned for half a day and a night, and even spread to the entire mansion, the huge Xi Mansion, and turned into nothing!

Although almost all the subordinates escaped, none of the three Xi family masters were nowhere to be found.

Even the bones, only Xi Zongwang, was seen by Xi Lian and ordered someone to carry it out first, and the young lady of the Xi family, Xi Fuwei, and Sun Gongzi Xi Jiao, were all considered to be buried in the sea of fire, and there was no corpse!

There has been no such tragedy in Dongchang Mansion over the years, and there has been a lot of discussion for a while, and there is everything to say.

When he was shouting, he saw a person in plain clothes, crying and shouting, calling him "uncle", bowing down to Xi Zongwang's coffin, and kowtowing again and again.

just didn't knock a few, but was kicked over by the old housekeeper Xi Lian in the chest, and angrily reprimanded: "Something that has lost its conscience!" In vain, the lord and the son are as kind to you, you don't think about reciprocation, colluding with outsiders to plot the master's family property, not to mention, and now they are even setting fire to the master's family, and the blood of the old man is cut off. ”

The onlookers all recognized that person was Xi Xing, the only clansman of the Xi family, and when they saw Xi Lian doing something to him, they were surprised, and they couldn't help but be in an uproar when they heard this: "Is this really fake?" ”

Xi Lian said Xi Fuwei's previous inference on the spot, but he just hid the matter of the Wen family, and said with tears: "Miss died just after saying this, it must be that this beast has accomplices in Xi Mansion, this is for fear that Miss will see the truth, and the dog will jump over the wall and kill people in a hurry!" ”

"You old minion thief shouting to catch the thief!" Xi Xing scolded, "Who doesn't know that my uncle has always treated me as his own?!" Our Xi family has only been settled in Dongchang Mansion for a few decades, and the number of people is thin, and without my uncle's family, I am an orphan! Who doesn't want his uncle to be good, it's definitely not me! I think it's your slave who is a big bully, and wants to take advantage of my cousin's death to seize the Xi family's property, but my uncle and cousin found out and killed him! Pity my cousin in her prime and not yet out of the cabinet, and my nephew is only six years old this year, only six years old!! ”

They argued over their own words, and the onlookers could hardly distinguish right from wrong, and they quarreled and shouted, and in the end they could only go to court.

When this grievance swept through the entire Dongchang Mansion and was talked about by people up and down, Yanzhou Mansion, which is adjacent to Dongchang Mansion, on the way to the state capital, when an old carriage hesitated, a timid voice came out: "Aunt ...... Uncle, I'm hungry. ”

In the carriage, Xi Fuwei came back from her contemplation, touched her nephew's head, and said warmly: "Our dry food is gone, and Yanzhou City is in front of us, and when you enter the city, Uncle will take you to eat immediately, okay?" ”

Xi Jiao nodded obediently.

However, among the passengers in the same car, someone enthusiastically handed over the dry food: "Little brother, don't let the child be hungry, eat ours!" ”

Xi Fuwei smiled and refused one by one, she was disguised as a teenager at this time, and her voice was deliberately lowered to the roughness of a young man. After all, a female streamer took Xi Jiao on the road alone, so she naturally had to be extra cautious. The person in the car in front of him said that he met in Pingshui, who knows what intentions?

If they do something in the dry food, won't their aunt and nephew be doomed?

Anyway, Xi Jiao was not hungry to the point of having an accident, although he said politely, his attitude was very resolute.

After some pushing, everyone was a little disappointed, and after putting away the dry food, they stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the carriage was a little embarrassing for a while.

But this is exactly what Xi Fuwei is hoping for...... borrowed the fire to cheat death, and absconded from Dongchang Mansion with his nephew in one go, the thrill during this period still has lingering palpitations!

These days, she has hardly closed her eyes, and now she has finally left the Wen family's territory, although it is not safe, she can still breathe a sigh of relief!

She needs to think about what to do next?
