Chapter 34 She burned down Nianxin Pavilion

Around 8 p.m., Gu Xingnian's car arrived at the main gate of Yuyuan.

Sheng Weiwei had already arrived. Seeing her car, she followed and drove in.

Gu Xingnian stepped into this place that had briefly belonged to her once again, the air filled with the rich fragrance of lilies.

But her heart was cold at that moment.

There is no longer any excitement or longing like before!

Sheng Weiwei didn't say anything, but gently patted her hand until the two arrived in front of the mansion.

The entire mansion was brightly lit, like a luminous pearl in the night sky.

As soon as the housekeeper saw it was her, he quickly came to greet her.

"Madam, you've arrived. I'll go tell the young master to come home right away."

Gu Xingnian coldly opened her lips, "Is there a maid here named Zhu Yongmei?"

“Yes, Madam, Zhu Yongmei came here three years ago.” The butler quickly chimed in, then gave a wink, “Go and fetch her.”

Gu Xingnian and Sheng Weiwei sat on the sofa when a maid brought them hot coffee.

A short while later, Zhu Yongmei was brought before them. When she saw that it was Gu Xingnian, she was so frightened that she lowered her head.

Gu Xingnian walked up to her, reached out and pinched her chin, forcing her to look into his eyes.

Zhu Yongmei shrank back in fright and knelt down with a thud.

Gu Xingnian squatted down, his sharp eyes fixed on her, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.

Such strong air pressure makes one feel nauseous.

"Is this the nourishing soup you made for me, which you've been making for three years?"

Zhu Yongmei struggled to sit up and stammered, "Madam, this is what we servants...should...do!"

Sheng Weiwei rushed forward and kicked her to the ground, her eyes filled with anger.

"You wicked woman, you still dare to argue? Tell me, who is the mastermind behind this?"

Zhu Yongmei was terrified. She scrambled to her feet and frantically kowtowed to Gu Xingnian.

"Madam, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me, I have an elderly mother and a sick child at home."

Sheng Weiwei's eyes were bloodshot. She kicked her again and cursed, "Idiot, is this your excuse for harming others? You deserve to die!"

Zhu Yongmei kowtowed again, begging for forgiveness, "I was wrong, Madam, I was really wrong, please forgive me."

"I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to."

Her cries were filled with despair.

The butler was completely baffled by what he saw and had no idea what had happened.

How did Zhu Yongmei come to have a feud with his wife?

He had no choice but to sneak away and quickly call the eldest son.

Gu Xingnian walked up to her, looking down at her with a deep gaze.

“Zhu Yongmei, if you don’t say anything, I can guarantee that you will stay in jail for the rest of your life and never get out! Don’t worry about your elderly mother and sick child.”

"Tell me, who gave you permission to do this?"

"Serve a lifetime in prison?" Zhu Yongmei was so frightened that tears streamed down her face.

"Madam, I'll talk, I'll talk!" she continued, kowtowing.

"It's Madam Jiang!"

"She made me do it! She said that if I did it, she would give me a large sum of money so that I could live a life of comfort and security!"

"She said you are not worthy of having Mr. Fu's child, and that only her daughter is worthy of giving birth to the Fu family's... heir!"

Unexpectedly... it was actually Madam Jiang, Wang Huilan!

Jiang Kexin's mother!

Gu Xingnian's adoptive mother!

An uncontrollable rage surged from the depths of her heart, almost burning away her reason.

Gu Xingnian went missing when she was six years old and was taken in by an orphanage. It was Wang Huilan who brought her back to the Jiang family from the orphanage and gave her four years of a comfortable life.

She once thought he was her savior.

Later, when she was 10 years old, Wang Huilan found her lost daughter and abandoned her.

If they were just thrown away randomly, that would be fine.

But she deliberately had herself knocked unconscious, then nailed into a wooden box, which she then let float down the river and flow into the sea.

This is clearly meant to kill her!

That day, 12-year-old Fu Beichen was lying on the car when she saw the large wooden box floating in the river and asked the driver to pull her out of the river.

She was soaking wet and had a high fever, so he begged a nearby farmhouse to take her in and left him money to buy medicine.

He said he would come back and take her to Haicheng.

However, that night, their car was involved in an accident on the highway, and Fu Beichen's father passed away that very night.

She waited for two years, but he never came... So, at the age of 12, she ran to Haicheng to look for him!

......

Tragic memories flooded my mind.

It felt like her heart was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

An indescribable chill rose from the soles of my feet and instantly spread to every part of my body.

She believed that gratitude and hatred could be offset.

But at this moment... it's too late to resist.

She will no longer be weak.

The Jiang family must pay for the child's life!

Sheng Weiwei clenched her fists in anger. "How dare a small family like the Jiang family be so arrogant? Tomorrow, I'll start dealing with them."

Just then, the butler came in and asked cautiously, "Madam, do you need any help?"

"I'm taking this person with me. You handle the rest."

Gu Xingnian gave the instructions to the housekeeper, her tone completely calm.

"Yes, madam."

The butler responded and gave a signal; instantly, two bodyguards lifted Zhu Yongmei up.

Terrified, Zhu Yongmei cried out, "Madam, I was wrong! Please forgive me! I'll never do it again! I was wrong! Waaah..."

Sheng Weiwei stepped forward and slapped him hard across the face. "Shut up! You poisonous woman!"

A large rag was stuffed directly into her mouth.

Then she had the bodyguard take her out; she had to personally escort her to the police station.

Gu Xingnian walked out the door, and as she passed the fragrant Nianxin Pavilion, she stopped.

The pure white lilies exude a rich fragrance.

But at this moment, she felt a chill of disgust in her heart.

"Butler, is there any gasoline here? Bring two cans over."

The butler was taken aback, then quickly waved his hand, "Go and fetch two cans of gasoline!"

A short while later, four servants brought in two barrels of gasoline.

Without hesitation, she poured gasoline onto the beautiful lilies.

The pungent smell instantly overwhelmed the fragrance of the flowers.

"Madam! This..."

The housekeeper exclaimed, "Isn't Madam's favorite place this Lily Garden?"

These are rare lily varieties that the young master collected from all over the world.

The match struck, and a tiny flame leaped and landed on the pristine white surface.

boom--

Flames shot into the sky.

The delicate petals instantly curled up, charred, and crackled.

Thick smoke billowed out, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Gu Xingnian stood before the blazing lilies, letting the heat wash over her. The firelight illuminated her pale face, and her eyes burned with a light more intense than the flames.

The flames burned ever brighter, eventually engulfing the entire lily garden.

Thick smoke billowed straight into the sky.

Scenes that had intertwined with Fu Beichen were now fragmented and scattered.

It drifted down into the raging fire.

She smiled, turned around, and left.

Others only saw her cold, departing figure! Little did they know, tears were already streaming down her face...

For that little life that died young.

For those marriages that never last!

For her dedication over the past 12 years!

Step by step, she walked out of the scarred manor, away from his life.
