The fire spread.
It's getting worse.
Young Master Xu was knocked unconscious by the impact.
Pei Zhao escaped.
The fire eventually killed several people, including Xu San Gongzi and Xu Qing'er's two children. Xu Qing'er glared at Pei Zhao with bloodshot eyes: "Even tigers don't eat their cubs, you are so cruel!"
Pei Zhao was completely bewildered. He had no idea that the two children were in the side room. The fire spread to the side room and caused the tragedy.
When Madam Xu heard that her son had been burned to death, she cried until she fainted. She then beat and cursed Pei Zhao, trying to risk her life to die with him.
Pei Zhao's wound flared up and he couldn't dodge. He was stabbed in the shoulder by Madam Xu's hairpin, and blood flowed freely. Pei Zhao almost fainted.
Fortunately, the Prince of Zhennan's informant reported in time, and the Prince of Zhennan rushed over and saved Pei Zhao's life.
"Young Master Pei has several lives on his hands from the Xu family. This marriage is hereby called off. We request that the Prince of Zhennan write a letter of divorce."
Madam Xu the Second stepped forward to uphold justice.
The Prince of Zhennan frowned, knowing full well that he would not be able to take Pei Zhao away if the divorce agreement was not written. So he wrote the divorce agreement on Pei Zhao's behalf with a stroke of his pen.
"You owe me my son!" Madam Xu disagreed.
Master Xu pulled Madam Xu away. Just now, when the Prince of Zhennan came, he delivered a thick stack of IOUs.
He knew his son had died in vain.
"Take Madam back!" said Master Xu.
Only then did the Prince of Zhennan take Pei Zhao back.
The Xu family was also preparing to split up due to a fire, becoming four separate entities, each going their own way. Xu Qing'er and Xu Lin exchanged a glance, feeling a sense of relief.
They finally escaped from the Xu family and the Prince of Zhennan's mansion.
"Elder sister, I will protect you from now on," Xu Lin said.
Xu Qing'er nodded: "Let's pack our things and leave Kyoto. We'll come back in three years."
According to the original plan, after the fire, the main house of the Xu family was handed over to the second branch of the family. The first branch of the family only received gold and silver and a stack of land deeds. Madam Xu said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go to the south to find a place to stay so as not to be reminded of her husband by seeing the things.
Xu Lin quickly took care of these matters, and after a quick pack, he led his men away from the capital. Several carriages sped along the wide official road.
With the Imperial Guards protecting them, they shook off all their pursuers until the carriage gradually disappeared from sight.
Song Yue sighed, "I hope Xu Lin will not disappoint my expectations."
Xu Lin is the eldest son of the Xu family. He was intelligent from a young age and was highly valued because he was the eldest son of the Xu family. Fortunately, he is a sensible person.
She placed Xu Lin in the position she needed, nurtured him slowly, and one day he would be of use to her.
"I heard that Prince Pei was seriously injured, and the Prince of Zhennan has invited several imperial physicians to treat him," Yun Dong said, her face full of schadenfreude.
Amber chuckled and poked Yun Dong's forehead: "You should tone it down a bit."
“Young Master Pei doesn’t know what’s good for him. He abandoned our Crown Princess, and now he deserves to be in this mess!” Yun Dong shrugged and clicked her tongue. “Back then, the Princess Consort of Zhennan mistakenly thought that our Crown Princess was no longer virgin. I still remember her face.”
What she said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Her eyelids had been twitching badly for the past two days, and the mention of reputation reminded her of her mother.
