Chapter 404 This Fire Will Burn Them
Murong Jun's python-patterned brocade boots rolled over the scattered debris on the ground, and a cruel arc appeared at the corner of his lips: "This prince came here today not to discuss with you--"
"If you don't want to die, just be obedient. For her sake, I won't bother with you."
During the stalemate, the sound of bells and jewelry was suddenly heard.
Liang Yuhua stood at the Moon Cave Gate, her face as pale as paper: "I...please show some mercy, Fifth Prince."
The fifth prince turned around and saw the person he had been thinking about. He smiled wantonly: "I'm going to pick you."
He walked towards Liang Yuhua. Liang Nian reacted and immediately chased after him to protect his sister, but was stopped by the Fifth Prince's men: "Let me go, let me go, what on earth are you going to do?"
"Yuhua, go back!"
But Liang Nian was outnumbered and was stopped by the Fifth Prince's guards, so he couldn't get through at all.
He watched the Fifth Prince approach Liang Yuhua, a roar coming out of his throat, his hair becoming messy as he struggled, and the guard's scabbard hit his back heavily, making a dull sound that made his teeth ache.
"don't want!"
Liang Yuhua wanted to go over to protect Liang Nian, but the fifth prince grabbed her chin. Her frail body trembled slightly, and she raised her face helplessly: "Please... spare me."
A fire suddenly ignited in Murong Jun's eyes.
His fingertips brushed her cheek affectionately: "Please do it again."
The voice was as gentle as a poisonous snake's tongue.
"Let her go!"
Liang Nian jumped up and tried to pounce, but was pinned to the ground by two guards with his arms tied behind his back.
The rough stones scratched his forehead, and blood dripped along his brow bone, leaving dark marks in the dust.
Liang Yuhua begged him again with tears in her eyes and a trembling voice.
Murong Jun stared at Liang Yuhua's pale lips intently: "I want to see you in the mansion at twilight hour tomorrow."
He glanced at the struggling Liang Nian, "The lives of your family members are in your hands."
Liang Yuhua trembled violently, and her tears finally fell on the back of Murong Jun's hand.
The moment she closed her eyes and nodded, she heard her brother's heart-wrenching cry being blocked by the guards.
Murong Jun let go of his hand with satisfaction, "So good."
Liang Nian was released only after the sound of horse hooves completely disappeared.
He staggered to his sister's side, only to find that her ten fingers were dug deeply into her palms, and the gaps between her nails were all bloody.
"I'll go find Prince Lu and his wife. They will definitely be able to help us."
Liang Nian's voice was hoarse and out of tune.
"it's useless."
Liang Yuhua suddenly grabbed his sleeve and smiled a smile that was uglier than crying. "Brother, we are in this situation now. Everyone is avoiding us. How can we trouble them again?"
Liang Nian also understood this truth, but he couldn't just watch his sister fall into the tiger's mouth.
The setting sun under the eaves was as red as blood, making his eyes look bloodshot.
-
When the doorman delivered the message, Yuan Wanru was still a little overwhelmed.
Yesterday she had someone send something to Liang Nian, but he refused to accept it. Today he actually came to find her on his own initiative.
Inviting the person in, Liang Nian's face was extremely ugly. He knelt down as soon as he saw her: "Please help us again, Madam, the prince."
The celadon cup in Yuan Wanru's hand slammed down on the table, splashing a few drops of tea.
She didn't bother to wipe it, and hurried forward to support Liang Nian: "What are you doing? We are friends. If you can help, there is no need for you to do this. Get up and talk!"
Liang Nian refused to stand up, resting his forehead against the blue brick: "Madam, the fifth prince..."
His voice was hoarse and out of tune, "He wants Yuhua to come to his house at twilight hour tomorrow..."
"Bang!"
Yuan Wanru slapped the huanghuali wood table with her palm, causing the teacup to jump half an inch high: "Murong Jun is going too far!"
Her palms were burning with pain, but she was completely unaware of it.
A pair of warm hands suddenly wrapped around her soft hands.
Lu Jiangnian had stood beside her without her noticing, and his thumb gently stroked her red palm: "Is it worth ruining your health for someone like that?"
When he turned to look at Liang Nian, a cold light flashed in his eyes, "The Fifth Prince is sure that you dare not make a big fuss."
Liang Nian clenched his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, my lord..."
He turned to Liang Nian, "The prince cannot intervene at this moment, but the Sun family can."
Liang Nian raised his head suddenly: "Xin Guogong Mansion?"
"good."
Lu Jiangnian said slowly, "After all, when the prince pleaded for your family in front of the emperor, he mentioned that you tipped off the family and helped rescue Miss Sun, so the Sun family has some friendship with you after all."
Now that the Liang family has fallen, the Crown Prince and Concubine Liang have a blood feud and it is impossible for them to come forward to help the Liang family.
The Third Prince had no reason to help.
The only person who can stop Murong Jun is the emperor.
Lu Jiangnian guessed that the emperor would definitely not want to see the fifth prince have anything to do with the Liang family. After all, the order to destroy the Liang family was issued by the emperor, and he could not have not had any thoughts in his mind.
Yuan Wanru suddenly replied, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light, "Yes, go find Sun Huanzhi, he will definitely do his best to help you."
Liang Nian bowed deeply: "Master Lu, Madam Master, thank you very much."
"Don't thank me so quickly."
Lu Jiangnian held him and said in a very low voice, "I can't guarantee that this will succeed. You'd better pack up your belongings."
Seeing Liang Nian stunned, he sneered, "The Fifth Prince would not dare to hunt for a woman. The worst option is to hide and avoid the limelight."
At this time, Lu Jiangnian and Yuan Wanru could never have imagined that this fire would eventually burn them.
-
At this moment, the Xin Guo Mansion was not peaceful either.
When Sun Haining got into trouble, Mrs. Sun was very scared.
One day, the brother and sister were hiding in the house, talking about Sun Haining's trip to the border, and they were overheard by Mrs. Sun.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
Mrs. Sun locked up Sun Haining and refused to let her leave the room.
Sun Haining refused to compromise, and the mother and daughter began to quarrel.
The key point is that Sun Huanzhi also stood on Sun Haining's side, and Mrs. Sun was immediately made sick by her two unfilial children.
As Sun Huanzhi stepped into the inner courtyard, a celadon teacup flew past his forehead and smashed into pieces on the corridor column.
"Mother, calm down!"
He walked forward quickly, but saw Sun Haining kneeling upright on the bluestone slab, with his pearl hairpins disheveled and a red mark on his cheek.
Madam Sun leaned on the couch, her chest heaving violently, her fingertips tightly grasping the quilt: "Great, you two brothers and sisters are united!"
She suddenly grabbed the "Women's Rings" on the desk and threw it at her daughter, "Have I thrown all the rules I taught you over the years to the dogs?!"
The book fell on Sun Haining's shoulder, but she didn't move at all: "My daughter secretly learned swordsmanship at the age of six, and was familiar with military books at the age of ten."
She suddenly opened her collar, revealing an arrow scar on her collarbone. "I was shot by an arrow during the autumn hunt when I was eleven years old, and I never regretted it—"
"Shut up!" Madam Sun stood up suddenly, staggering and holding onto the bedpost, "Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
Sun Huanzhi took a quick step to support his mother, but was pushed away harshly.
Madam Sun pointed to the martial arts training ground outside the window with trembling hands: "Those swords, spears, and halberds were originally prepared for your brother..."
She suddenly choked up and said, "I didn't expect to raise such a wild girl who doesn't know her place!"
"Mother!" Sun Haining suddenly kowtowed heavily, and blood immediately appeared on his forehead. "When my grandfather followed the late emperor to conquer the world, did my grandmother ever say a word of 'no'?"
She raised her face, her eyes burning with a blazing light, "The blood of the Sun family flows with iron and blood, not the rouge fragrance of the backyard!"
