"I'm telling you, little girl, you're being completely unreasonable. Your mother was murdered for money. If anyone's to blame, it's her own evil intentions, not someone else!"
"Exactly! With a mother like that, it's no wonder she raised a daughter with such a depraved character!"
"Wait, that outfit looks familiar. Wasn't that the crazy woman in the cabin earlier?"
"Yes, yes, that's her!"
"Just now, a crazy woman suddenly came to the kitchen, grabbed my whole bucket of oil, and poured it everywhere. Then she grabbed the charcoal from the stove and threw it into the oil, which caused this fire!"
"What?! It was your mother who did it!"
"You murderer's daughter, now you've got us all killed!"
"You'll pay with your life too! You'll die!"
"..."
The onlookers were initially just angry at Yun Mingzhu's unreasonable behavior, but after learning that the Qin family was the root cause of the fire, they were all enraged and wanted to rush towards Yun Mingzhu.
"No... My mother isn't a crazy woman. She's the matriarch of the Earl's mansion. She wouldn't do such a thing!"
Frightened, Yun Mingzhu ran behind Yun Hongshen, grabbing his arm and shaking it repeatedly. "Father, please tell me! Mother wouldn't do such a thing. Mother will be alright, right?"
"I...I don't know. Your mother's temper has always been unpredictable, so it's not surprising that she would go crazy."
Unexpectedly, Yun Hongshen shoved Yun Mingzhu aside and shouted to the crowd, "I've wanted to divorce that crazy woman for a long time, but I've kept her around because I was exiled. What she did has nothing to do with me."
Hearing Yun Hongshen's heartless words, Yun Mingzhu collapsed to the ground, crying out in disbelief, "Father, how could you do this... Mother has been so good to you, how could you say such a thing!"
"It turns out that ruthlessness is his true nature. He is not cowardly, but just deliberately indifferent to everything."
Witnessing all this, a deep sorrow welled up in Yun Zhourong's eyes. "Mother, how could you have fallen for such a cold-blooded and ruthless hypocrite?"
She really felt sorry for her mother!
"Splash..."
At that moment, the entire ship began to shake violently.
"Oh no, this ship is sinking!"
Instantly, the passengers screamed in terror.
"Quickly, let the elderly and children go into the sea first!"
Yun Zhourong couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. She immediately told the boatman to arrange for the children and the elderly to get on the lifeboat and go out to sea first.
Song Shuyi was in poor health and was also put on a lifeboat.
The rest of the people, holding their noses, started jumping into the water like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
The main problem is that the fire is getting bigger and bigger. If we don't leave now, the ship will sink and we'll be swept to the bottom of the sea and die without a doubt.
"Damn it, it's freezing cold."
How long will it take for us to be saved?
"At that time, I'm afraid we'll die of thirst and hunger."
"Mother, I'm thirsty."
"..."
Soaking in the seawater, after swimming far away, watching the large ship slowly sink, all the passengers felt lingering fear and panic about the unknown future.
“Ruanruan, it’s not a good idea to keep her in the sea like this. Why don’t you ask the Snow Demon if she has any ideas?” Yun Hongcheng swam up to Yun Zhourong and asked in a low voice.
"Hmm, I'll ask."
The weather is so cold right now, Yun Zhourong's teeth are chattering even while soaking in the seawater.
I didn't expect things to go wrong, so I didn't tell Ji Minxiu. Now I can only ask him for help.
So she swam towards a deserted spot, made sure no one was there, apologized to Ji Minxiu in her mind, and then summoned him over.
"Thump..."
Ji Minxiu had just arrived at his doorstep when, before he could even open it, he found himself falling into icy water.
Fortunately, he could swim and managed to regain his balance in time.
The next second, she felt someone hug her waist. Yun Zhourong said apologetically, "Lord Snow Demon, it's me. I'm sorry to summon you in such a place."
Originally, Yun Zhourong was a little scared to be alone in this boundless sea, but the moment she saw Jimin, she felt at ease.
Ji Minxiu quickly took out a life ring and put it on before asking in confusion, "What's going on? Why are you in the sea? There seem to be many people over there too?"
"Here's what happened..."
Yun Zhourong then briefly explained the situation to Ji Minxiu, "So, I wanted to ask if you have any way to find a boat large enough to hold about a hundred people to take us across the sea?"
"Yes, wait here, I'll be right there." Ji Minxiu reached out and patted Yun Zhourong's head before quickly leaving.
With Ji Minxiu's assurance, Yun Zhourong felt much more at ease.
Swimming back to Yun Hongcheng's side, she said, "Father, the Snow Demon has agreed. In order to avoid being discovered, I need to go to a secluded place to wait."
After all, if Ji Minxiu came over, he would be within five meters of her. With such a large ship, it wouldn't be good if someone got hurt.
"Okay, then be careful," Yun Hongcheng said worriedly.
"Hmm." Yun Zhourong nodded, took a deep breath, and swam towards a less crowded area again.
Actually, she was quite scared in this vast ocean, especially after hearing that there were man-eating sharks in the sea.
But in order to save the person, she tried her best to suppress her fear and waited nervously.
Ji Family Villa
"Boss..."
Just now, when he saw Ji Minxiu suddenly disappear, Assistant Lin was completely stunned. Now, seeing him suddenly reappear, soaking wet, he was even more bewildered.
"Come with me."
Ji Minxiu knew that this matter could no longer be kept secret, and he did need someone in the know to help him, which would make his actions easier.
