Chapter 457: Death
Chen Rui enjoyed Xiahou Yan's plea unmoved, and when she finished kowtowing, she walked up to Xiahou Yan and raised her chin and said, "Xiahou Yan, you also have today!"
"Don't you look down on me, the one who climbs up with thick legs, but today you gave up your son to beg me, it's too late!"
Xiahou Yan grabbed Chen Rui's sleeve and begged: "In the past, I was arrogant and ignorant, but this time I was really wrong, please let me go, I am willing to do whatever I want." ”
Xiahou Yan showed a smile that she thought was very charming, which almost made Chen Rui vomit at the beginning.
"Xiahou Yan now thinks about using beauty tricks on her own official, don't look at your ugly appearance! A disabled and disabled person has been defeated by Han Wu's wife. ”
"But thanks to the fact that you served Han Wu dizzy, this didn't ruin the official's plan. ”
"What did you say?" Qiao'er's words that day, Xiahou Yan did not forget, and when she heard Chen Rui mention it again today, her heart suddenly became cold.
"Isn't what the official said clear enough? Han Wu coveted your beauty, so the official took the opportunity to give you to him. Speaking of this, Chen Rui had no remorse.
"You brute!" Xiahou Yan got up and raised her slap and was about to hit Chen Rui, but before she could touch anyone, she was kicked out by Chen Rui for a long time.
"What if I'm a beast? Xiahou Yan, now that you are in my hands, I will make you beg for death but not for life, wait and see!"
After Chen Rui finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Xiahou Yan and walked out triumphantly.
Xiahou Yan wiped the blood from the corners of her lips and endured the abdominal pain and got up with difficulty.
Grandmother, this is the good husband you chose for me! You forced me to marry Chen Rui one by one, who cares about my life or death, no matter what, now, Xiahou Mansion has become a traitor, none of us can live, it is better to die together!
Xiahou Yan struggled towards Yanhe Hall with a fierce hatred.
When passing by the ancestral hall, Xiahou Yan stopped, and with a sad smile on her face, she turned in.
"The old lady is not good, the ancestral hall is on fire!"
A panicked shouting woke up the sleeping old lady, and Mama Chen hurriedly helped the old lady out of bed.
Outside was already in flames, and there was no need for Steward Qi to say that the place where the fire was on fire was the ancestral hall.
"Quick, hurry up and put out the fire!" Mama Chen helped the old lady to walk briskly towards the place where the fire was burning.
All the people who can be dispatched in the house have come out to put out the fire, but unfortunately the fire is fierce, and the strength of a few people to fight the fire seems to be a drop in the bucket.
"Hou Ye, Hou Ye's tablet!"
The old lady was anxious when she saw the fire, and wanted to rush in to rescue the tablet herself.
Mama Chen stopped her: "Let the old slave go!"
"You must be careful!" the old lady had not finished speaking, and Mama Chen had already run towards the sea of fire.
"Alas, how can you go in, come back soon!" Steward Qi was shouting to no avail, and watched Mama Chen enter the fire.
The fire burst into flames more than one person high, and the old lady was shocked: "Mama Chen! Mama Chen!"
After a few shouts, there was no echo, the old lady was anxious, took two steps forward, and the housekeeper poured a bucket of water on herself and shouted: "The old lady is waiting here, the old slave will rescue Mama Chen!"
Without waiting for the old lady to reply, Steward Qi entered the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall was already full of smoke, and the scorching heat wave kept rushing at people, and Steward Qi squinted for a while before he saw Mama Chen, who had been fainted.
"Wake up, wake up!" The beams of the house already had wood beginning to fall, and as long as he stayed in the danger of being buried in the fire, seeing that he couldn't wake up, Steward Qi had to drag Mama Chen's heavy body out.
I had already arrived at the gate, and when I saw the old lady waiting anxiously outside the door, Steward Qi struggled to drag people out, and he was only one step away from going out!
It's just that what Steward Qi didn't see was that a beam of the house beam was already crumbling, and when the two of them almost reached the threshold one step, this and the girder fell down, and it happened to fall on Steward Qi's back, and he was suddenly smashed and fainted.
"Mama Chen! Steward Qi!" Seeing that the two of them fell in front of her, the old lady almost fainted.
The old lady hurriedly called a few people who were fighting the fire: "Go and rescue the people, hurry up!"
The fire was dangerous, and from time to time there was the sound of wood exploding, and no one dared to step forward at this time.
Mama Chen's arms revealed the tablet of the old marquis who was holding tightly, and the old lady couldn't help but walk towards Mama Chen.
"The old lady is dangerous!"
"The old lady doesn't dare to go!"
The old lady ignored the shouts of everyone behind her, and with great difficulty, she picked up the tablet of the old marquis scattered on the ground by Mama Chen and held it in her arms.
"Old lady, come out quickly, the house is going to collapse!"
As soon as these few words were shouted, the door could no longer stand and collapsed.
When these subordinates saw their master die in the fire, they panicked and fled in all directions, but there was a Praetorian guard handle at the door, how could they escape.
Chen Rui soon learned the news that Xiahou Mansion was on fire, and by the time he arrived with his people, Jingzhao Mansion had already cleaned up the scene.
He was beside the four corpses that were being laid out in turn, checking the cause of death one by one, and soon came over to report: "My lord, these people all died of burns, only the lady died a little earlier. ”
Chen Rui looked at the fingers of the man, and vaguely felt that this person was Xiahou Yan, but he didn't expect that after only a few hours of separation, Xiahou Yan died like this, it was really cheap for her.
After all, it was the old lady and the young lady of the Hou Mansion who died, even if the princess who went out of the mansion rebelled against the court, but His Majesty the Xiahou Mansion had never said how to deal with it, and the Jingzhao Mansion did not dare to hold it up, and called the people in the mansion over for questioning.
Knowing that Lord Chen had come tonight, Jingzhao Mansion's eyes were inquiring, and Chen Rui said disdainfully: "What, is it possible that Lord Chen is suspicious of this official?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, how dare the lower officials doubt your lordship. "Jingzhao Mansion said beautifully, and muttered secretly, who doesn't know the grievances between you and Xiahou Mansion, this thing is also like your style.
No wonder Jingzhao Mansion is suspicious of Chen Rui, Chen Rui, as a minion of His Majesty, has done a lot of angry things for Emperor Jingyuan over the years.
"The official just came to take a look at Miss Xiahou, after all, he and the official husband and wife, even if they are separated from each other, they are not enemies, do you say?" Jingzhao Fu nodded incessantly.
"But the officer left quickly, and somehow there was a fire, and these guards at the gate can testify. ”
After hearing the news of the guards, the statement was the same as Chen Rui's, even so, Jingzhao Mansion still doubted in his heart, how could it be so coincidental, you just left Xiahou Mansion and died!
Jingzhao Mansion quickly came to the conclusion that Miss Xiahou was jealous of the old lady of Xiahou Mansion for punishing her for practicing in the family temple, and in a fit of hatred, she burned the ancestral hall and accidentally put her own life into it, and the old lady and the other two died accidentally by inhaling smoke while fighting the fire.
Shrewd and wise, as the pillar of Xiahou Mansion, the old lady died in an unexpected way, and her death will set off another bloody storm, as for how Xiahou Yan died, only she must know.
