Chapter 393 Fierce

In the evening, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng talked on the couch after taking a bath.

Yu Zheng told her that Zhuiyun would escort her back to Shangjing tomorrow, so she didn't need to rush, and could stay overnight at the post station or inn, and not sleep outdoors.

After listening to Yu Zheng's detailed account, Jiang Shu said, "Zhuiyun is leaving with me, so you will lose a capable assistant."

Yu Zheng held her hand and said, "It's okay, escorting food and grass is not a big deal, wait for him to escort you back to Beijing and then go to Yicheng to meet me."

Yu Zheng's arrangement was very appropriate, and Jiang Shu was silent for a long time after listening.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she was in a low mood, Yu Zheng asked in a gentle voice.

Jiang Shu took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked at Yu Zheng seriously, "I want to go to Yicheng with you."

Yu Zheng was startled when he heard this, frowned slightly and said earnestly, "Yicheng is not like Pingyang, it's dangerous and chaotic. I will be very busy there and have no time to take care of you..."

Jiang Shu interrupted him and said, "I know."

"Don't worry, I won't run around and drag you down. I can do the accounting and take care of the chores. I can help you deal with the military affairs and reduce your burden."

"I know that life and death are unpredictable, so I want to go with you. No matter what happens, we will face it together. Even if something really happens, there will be fewer regrets."

Jiang Shu looked at Yu Zheng steadily, his almond eyes full of determination.

"Shu'er..." Yu Zheng sighed, hesitant.

He was glad that Jiang Shu was going with him, but he didn't dare to risk her safety.

"My husband, I can't go back to Shangjing alone. Please let me go with you. I promise I won't be a burden to you." Jiang Shu hugged Yu Zheng's arm tightly and looked at him eagerly.

Facing Jiang Shu like this, Yu Zheng had no way to deal with her and could only nod in compromise.

Jiang Shu was overjoyed to get the promise, and her depressed mood instantly became cheerful.

Yu Zheng looked at her smiling face and said slowly: "Before you go, you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Jiang Shu was puzzled.

Yu Zheng said solemnly: "If anything happens, I will arrange for someone to escort you away first. At that time, you must not be willful and must go. Ziyou is still waiting for you in Shangjing."

Jiang Shu was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally nodded heavily.

"Okay, I promise you."

Yu Zheng pulled her up and said, "I'm going to write a letter to my mother, and you can write one to your father-in-law and mother-in-law as well."

If you don't go back to Shangjing, you have to tell your family.

The two sat down at the desk. Yu Zheng ground ink for Jiang Shu and asked her to write first.

Jiang Shu picked up the pen and wrote a letter to Jiang's father and mother under Yu Zheng's gaze.

At the end of the letter, Jiang Shu repeatedly stated that she was just going to help Yu Zheng take care of the military affairs and would not go to the front battlefield. If there was any danger, she would evacuate first, so that Jiang's father and mother should not worry.

After writing, she put the letter aside to dry, Jiang Shu stood up and let Yu Zheng write.

Yu Zheng wrote very quickly, his pen was like a dragon, and his handwriting was beautiful.

The two wrote the letter, put it in an envelope, and gave it to the guards to send back to Shangjing tomorrow.

It was already late at night. Yu Zheng said to Jiang Shu, "Go to bed early. It will be very hard to travel tomorrow."

Jiang Shu responded and walked to the bed with him.

Just as he was about to take off his shoes and go to bed, he suddenly heard a panicked shout outside.

Because he was far away, he couldn't hear it clearly, so Jiang Shu called Leng Xing to ask.

"What happened?"

Leng Xing said through the door, "There was a fire in Lu's mansion."

Fire? Where did the fire happen?

Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng hesitated for a moment, put on their coats and went out to check.

"... There was a fire, put out the fire..."

The southeast of the backyard was full of flames, and the servants in the mansion ran around in a hurry with buckets of water.

The southeast was where the master lived, and Lu Mingke and Su Rou's yard was also there.

"What's going on?" Jiang Shu was puzzled. Why did a fire break out out of nowhere?

Yu Zheng pondered and said, "Let's go and have a look."

First, Lu He had an acute illness, and then there was a fire. There are not so many coincidences in the world. Something must have happened to the Lu family.

Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu followed the fire and came to a yard.

Servants carrying buckets of water crowded outside the yard and did not go in to put out the fire.

With full of doubts, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng entered the yard and saw Lu Mingke, Su Rou, and Mrs. Lu standing in the yard.

"Why are you here, Prince and Princess? It's dangerous here. Prince and Princess, please leave quickly." Mrs. Lu was shocked.

Lu Mingke and Su Rou turned around when they heard the voice, their faces were very ugly.

"Hahaha..."

Jiang Shu was about to ask what was going on when he suddenly heard a crazy laugh in front of him.

Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu looked carefully, and then they found that there was someone on the roof!

Shen Qingrong!

What was she doing on the burning roof?

At this moment, Jiang Shu suddenly realized that this was Shen Qingrong's yard.

She looked around and saw that all the houses in the yard were on fire, and the raging flames went straight up to the roof, surrounding Shen Qingrong.

"Hahaha... sudden death from an acute illness? I won't let you have your wish, I have the final say in my life..."

Shen Qingrong was wearing a gorgeous dress, standing on the roof ridge, looking down at the people in the yard, laughing and talking nonsense.

"What's wrong with her?" Jiang Shu asked angrily.

She had just seen Shen Qingrong in the morning, and she was quite normal at that time. How come she went crazy in just half a day? "She..." The family's shame should not be exposed to the public

, and Mrs. Lu didn't know what to say.

Lu Mingke frowned and said in a deep voice: "Please ask the prince and princess to be a witness for the Lu family."

Witness what? "Shen Qingrong colluded with the aunt, murdered my father-in-law, poisoned my husband, and burned herself after the conspiracy was exposed." Lu Mingke's words were clear, and Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng were shocked. No wonder Lu He suddenly fell ill, it turned out to be like this. As for poisoning her husband, they saw that Lu Mingke was safe and sound, and thought that she was discovered before she succeeded.

Jiang Shu suddenly remembered that Su Rou was restless in the afternoon, and it turned out that such a thing happened.

And Lu Mingke's words just now clearly showed that she had no intention of saving Shen Qingrong.

That's why she asked the servants carrying buckets of water to guard outside the yard and did not go in to put out the fire.

Admittedly, the fire was too big to be put out at all, but it could not hide the Lu family's determination to put an end to Shen Qingrong.

Go with the flow, and do what you want.

"Hahaha..."

Shen Qingrong continued to laugh wildly on the roof. She looked in the direction of Shangjing, then turned to look at Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng.

She was unwilling.

If Yu Zheng had accepted her letter and married her as a concubine, how could she have ended up like this.

But it was also a little comforting to be able to see Yu Zheng before she died.

Shen Qingrong looked at Yu Zheng's silly smile, as if she had forgotten that she was in a sea of ​​fire.

"Crackle——" The house made a crackling sound after burning, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, burning Shen Qingrong's face red.

Shen Qingrong set the fire herself.

She didn't want to die quietly, she wanted to die loudly.

Because she was under house arrest, only her personal maid was left in the courtyard, and everyone else was guarding outside the courtyard.

After nightfall, Shen Qingrong and her maid poured kerosene that was originally used to help Aunt Bai escape, filled the house in the courtyard, and then lit it herself, and climbed up to the roof along the ladder.

"Lu Mingke, treat Xingyuan well, otherwise I will become a ghost and haunt Lu Sui'an every night, making her unable to live in peace."

Shen Qingrong warned hatefully.

Su Rou was so angry that she trembled in her heart after hearing this, but before she could scold Shen Qingrong, she saw the flames rising to the roof. With a loud bang, the roof collapsed and Shen Qingrong instantly disappeared in the sea of ​​fire.
