Chapter 45: A fire broke out in the middle of the night

Suddenly, Li Xiuyi's eyes lit up and he sat down again. Take out a pen and circle the first and last words of the first sentence of the letter, the second and penultimate words of the second sentence, and so on.

Together, it became a sentence: The eldest lady wants to harm me, I already have a child, and I am trapped.

This sentence made Li Xiuyi surprised and delighted, surprised that he didn't know why the eldest lady wanted to harm the Yuan family, and he was happy that after so many days, he finally looked forward to their child.

Before Yuan's marriage, he and Li Xiuyi were childhood sweethearts and cousins. Li Xiuyi thought that Yuan Fang would be his daughter-in-law in the future. So when the Li family offered to marry the Yuan family, Li Xiuyi was very excited for a while.

But things didn't develop in the direction he wanted, and the Yuan family fell in love with Su Haoran, a married man, and rejected the Li family's proposal. and frequently went in and out of Su's house.

Later, the Liu family died, and the Yuan family married Su Haoran as he wished, and Li Xiuyi was disappointed for several years. Although he also married a wife and had children, as well as a concubine and an outer room, he still couldn't stop his heart from liking the Yuan family.

The Yuan clan wanted to get rid of Su Muling and found his door. Li Xiuyi ignored his previous suspicions, and spent a lot of money to hire dozens of people to design Su Muling, wanting to kill Su Muling to please the Yuan family.

Unexpectedly, when they were about to succeed, Zhen Youan killed and ruined their plan. Fortunately, the Yuan family did not blame him for his failure, and also had a personal relationship with him to rebuild the old friendship, which allowed Li Xiuyi, who had been frustrated for many years, to find the direction of his life again.

In order to get the Yuan clan, he obeyed the words of the Yuan clan, and under the instructions of the Yuan clan, he attacked Su Muling again. After another failure, he was in constant fear at home.

Knowing that the Yuan family was trapped, Li Xiuyi began to think about inquiring about the Su family. It didn't take him much to figure out what was going on. He didn't complain about the ruthlessness of the Yuan clan, but he blamed Su Muling for being spicy.

If Su Muling is not eliminated for a day, his Fang'er will not be at peace for a day. He paced back and forth on the ground, pausing again, with a sinister look in his eyes.

A few days later, Su Muling and Zhen Youan went to Zhuangzi to check the grain harvest. They brought a lot of things with them, and it seemed that they were going to live in the Zhuangzi for a few days to relax.

After getting out of the car, Zhuangzili had already got the news and cleaned up the house where the owner lived, and the girls sent all the packages to the backyard. Xichun spread the quilt and mattress she brought on the bed, and the lady's change of clothes was hung up.

Su Muling likes to be clean and carries her luggage with her wherever she goes.

The girls were busy in the house, and Su Muling and Zhen Youan changed their homely clothes and went to the fields to broaden their horizons.

"It's beautiful here."

Su Muling ran a few steps in the field and turned in a circle. Take a deep breath of the air with a faint scent of flowers and herbs, and can't help but praise.

It's more beautiful with you. Zhen Youan looked at Su Muling, who was in a relaxed mood, and couldn't help but praise in his heart.

Su Muling sat on the grass with one hand, supporting her body with one hand and the other on her forehead, looking up at the sky.

The sky was extraordinarily blue, the golden sun hung obliquely on it, and a heart-shaped white cloud happened to fall into Su Muling's sight, she glanced at Zhen You'an, her face was a little red.

"You'an, what kind of life do you like to live?"

"That's all it needs to be now."

Zhen Youan sat down next to Su Muling, reached out and plucked an unknown yellow flower, and put it on Su Muling's hair. The black and yellowed flowers make the porcelain white face more and more youthful and beautiful.

Su Muling looked at Zhen You'an's obsidian-like clean pupils and the little self inside, and couldn't take her eyes off.

"Is it pretty?"

After Su Muling asked, he lowered his head in shame.

Zhen Youan smiled, and his peach blossom eyes became more and more charming.

"Beautiful."

With that, he put his head in his hands and lay down backwards.

"I've always wanted to live simple, happy days. There is no deceit, no intrigue, no power struggle. The family is harmonious, and the husband and wife are loving. Just like now, it seems to be in a paradise. ”

"I wanted to live like this, but my stepmother, my sister, wouldn't let me. They are very ambitious, they want to cling to power, and they want to occupy the property of the Su family, and they have forced me into a vicious woman who must be compared. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel a little disgusted with myself. ”

"Don't say that, I'd rather see you as you are now than let you be slaughtered as fish on the board."

"Really? You don't like me? Su Muling's big eyes were clear and bright when he looked at him.

The corners of Zhen Youan's mouth moved, and a smile spread on his face.

"Come here." He stretched out an arm towards Su Muling.

Su Muling was a little shy, and glanced around, and in the distance, there were several people working in the field. After hesitating for a moment, she finally made up her mind to lie down, and her head landed on Zhen Youan's arm.

"The sun is just right, close your eyes and rest for a while."

After speaking, Zhen Youan closed his eyes, and two thick eyelashes trembled lightly under his eyes like small brushes.

Su Muling looked sideways and couldn't help but reach out to touch it, Zhen Youan couldn't stand the itch, closed his eyes and grabbed her accurately with his other hand under his head.

"Naughty."

Zhen Youan's tone was full of pampering. He didn't let go of her hand, so he held the big hand as if he was asleep.

Su Muling's arms hung in the air, and it didn't take long for him to be tired and sore. But she wanted to pull her hand out, but she was reluctant.

was in a dilemma, Zhen Youan let go first, but then stretched out his long arm and hugged Su Muling directly into his arms. The two men clung to each other.

This? It's daytime, and there are people in the distance...... No matter what, Su Muling stabbed his head into his arms, and Ren's face was as hot as if it was burning.

……

In the middle of the night, as the last light went out, only the two lanterns of the gate were still gently swaying in the entire Zhuangzi.

Several figures quietly sneaked into Zhuangzi and touched the main courtyard. One of them took out a slender bamboo tube from his body, stabbed the window paper, blew a few times at the bedroom where Su Muling and Zhen You'an were sleeping, nodded at the others, and then took out a lock and hung it on the door.

Several people acted quickly and came prepared. Dry firewood from the kitchen that had already been found was quietly piled up under the window and in front of the door. As the flames erupted, several arsonists disappeared into the darkness.

After a pillar of incense, the screams of Xichun spread throughout Zhuangzi, and at this time the fire had engulfed the entire main courtyard, and people panicked with all the tools they could use to extinguish the fire. Others tried to rush into the house to save people, but the fire was too strong to get close.

……

Before dawn, Su Haoran hurriedly left with the people from the village.

Mother Li mysteriously entered the house and leaned into Yuan's ear: "Madam, it's done." ”

"It's done? The lord is gone? Yuan, who was dressing up, asked in surprise with his eyebrows.

"Well, Zhuangzi is here, and the master is leaving with someone."

"Didn't leave anything behind?" Motoshi put down the comb and stood up.

"Yes, I said I wouldn't be back today. Zhuangzi is afraid that there will be more luck and less luck. ”

"Great."

The Yuan family seemed to see Su Muling buried in the fire, and Su Haoran was grief-stricken.

At noon, Mother Li led a woman dressed as a woman with a hood on her head to the back door of Su's house.

A few people walked to the door and were about to open the door and go out. The porter An Sheng walked out of the house.

"Where are you going?"

An Sheng is in his fifties and is a beggar that Su Haoran picked up from outside. Seeing that he was pitiful and had nowhere to go, he stayed at home and guarded the door.

"Lao An, I thought you weren't there. No, Mrs. Chen in Madame's house had a rash on her face, and she was afraid of giving it to others, so the eldest lady ordered me to take it out to have a look. ”

"Mrs. Chen? I saw Mrs. Chen a while ago, when did she lose weight like this? ”

An Sheng wanted to lift the hood on his face when he got closer.

Mother Li opened his hand, half-joking and half-frightened.

"What? Bold? Want to flirt with women? Be careful, I told the lord to drive you back into the street and let you continue to ask for food. ”

When An Sheng heard this, he withdrew his hand, with a smile on his face: "How dare you, don't tell the master, if I am kicked out, my old life will be gone." ”

"I know I don't want to get out of here." Mother Li scolded again and helped "Mrs. Chen" out of the door.

At the back door of the Su family, Mother Li helped "Mrs. Chen" into a carriage that had been waiting for a long time. "Mrs. Chen" took off her head and hat, revealing her true face, it was Yuan's.

Without orders, the carriage took them to Yong'an Lane. Entering the house where they often had trysts, Li Xiuyi stepped forward and hugged the Yuan family in his arms: "Was the journey smooth?" ”

Yuan pursed his lips, like a girl complaining shyly: "I've been suffering to death these days." It's a shame that you've come up with such a method, or I don't know how much sin I'll have to suffer. ”

Li Xiuyi helped Yuan Shi sit down on the bed, and poured a cup of hot tea in her hand.

"Thank you for your hard work, is the child okay?" As he spoke, a hand touched her lower abdomen.

Yuanshi put his hand on his hand, and a smile appeared on his face: "The child is fine, I drink fetal medicine every day." By the way, what's going on with Zhuangzi? ”

"This time, the eldest lady is out of gas, I sent someone to investigate, and said that the eldest lady and the son-in-law are already out of breath. Su Haoran, that old thing, is afraid that he has cried and fainted many times now. ”

"All dead? It's okay, it's dead and clean. ”

"He's still holding you?"

Looking at Yuan's slightly haggard face, Li Xiuyi was very distressed.

"Well, I'm afraid I want to wait for the birth of the child before sending me to the official. Big cousin, what should I do? I don't want our child to become a motherless child, wait for that old thing to marry another one, and then treat our child badly, beat him and scold him...... I can't think about it! Yuan put his head in Li Xiuyi's arms and wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

Li Xiuyi didn't say anything for a long time, and after a long time, he gently pushed the Yuan family away, and said in a cold tone to her eyes: "Then don't do anything, find an opportunity to get rid of him, so that the Su family is ours." ”

Yuanshi burst into tears and laughed, just waiting for his words. Su Muling died, and after getting rid of Su Haoran, her crisis was resolved, and the child became the heir of the Su family...... Yuan felt like he was so happy that he wanted to speak out!
