Chapter 174: Love in the Ancient Plane 34

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

The night watchman knocked on the "gong" and walked through the streets and alleys.

Jiang Lan woke up from her sleep and felt that the air was a little hot.

She opened her eyes, got up and took a look, and indeed found something wrong.

There was a red light outside the window, and vaguely heard the sound of "crackling" burning. It turned out that her yard was on fire.

The fire has spread and is gradually approaching the main house. The situation is very critical.

Jiang Lan rushed out and woke up his family.

Fortunately, Yuan Qingci and Lu had left, otherwise today would be a bit dangerous.

"Mom and Dad, wake up, there's a fire."

"It's on fire... It's on fire..."

"My makeup box..."

In the crisis, Zhang grabbed her own makeup box and saved most of her assets.

Jiang Lan didn't lose anything here. She always put her valuables in a package, so she could just pick them up when she left.

The raging fire was quickly put out with the help of the neighbors, but unfortunately their house was completely burned down...

"How did the fire start?"

"It wasn't a fire, it was deliberately set by someone. If it was a fire, it would burn from the inside out, not from the outside to the inside."

Zhang was so angry that she cursed: "Who is so wicked?"

"Report to the authorities, I'm afraid this is directed at me."

Jiang Lan is no longer an unknown little person, and she has some face in front of the emperor.

As soon as she reported to the authorities, Jingzhao Yin accepted the case.

The arsonist's skills were not sophisticated, and he was quickly caught by the experienced constable.

It was really an acquaintance-Shi An'er.

Having traveled through several planes, Jiang Lan found helplessly that some women are really several times more vindictive than men.

Moreover, women are more patient than men, and know how to lie in wait and deliver a fatal blow.

Being bold and careful, tenacious, hardworking, and persevering are all very valuable qualities.

Jiang Lan doesn't understand why he should insist on love when he has such good qualities and will succeed in everything he does.

Just like Jiang Jiang when I first met her, her emotional intelligence and appearance were both online, and she could obviously live a good life with her own abilities.

Why must she insist on competing for favors and snatching a good man?

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. It is obviously more difficult to rely on others for a living than to rely on yourself for a living. Why do you still want to take a difficult path?

Find easy ones for relationships and difficult ones for careers. Many people do the opposite.

Shi An'er is a typical example of a good card played badly...

But this guy was quite successful in his previous life. He used all his tricks to fool the original scumbag and the original owner, and he didn't suffer any loss.

A woman who plays the female game can't figure out a woman who plays the male game. This is why Shi An'er failed in his life.

"Minister Jiang, do you want to meet this arsonist?"

Murder and arson are both capital crimes. Shi An'er is doomed to die.

"No, I want to know how Jingzhao Yin will deal with a pregnant woman like her?"

"Wait until she gives birth, then execute her."

"What about the child?"

"The child is innocent, so he will be sent directly to the orphanage to be raised."

Jiang Lan nodded in understanding and didn't ask any more questions.

Two months later, Shi An'er gave birth to a baby boy.

People always know how to cherish after losing something. Before she could even look at the child for a few more times, the child was taken away by the people from the orphanage.

Shi An'er cried heartbreakingly. She was not so sad when her father was arrested.

She always thought that she was a cold-blooded person and there was nothing in the world that she cared about, but she found out that she was wrong.

In the future, her child will have to grow up with the orphans in the orphanage and live a precarious life...

"This is the son of King Xuan, you can't send him to the orphanage! He is of royal blood!"

Unfortunately, no one would listen to the words of a dying crazy woman.

King Xuan had already abandoned Shi An'er, and he didn't even want the child in her belly.

Now he is too ashamed to stay in Kyoto. He was convicted of harboring a child in the imperial examination fraud case and was punished.

Afterwards, someone tattooed words on his face, and he abandoned himself and participated in the concrete mystery of the family, committing a taboo today.

King Xuan, who had lost the grace of the emperor, was afraid of being liquidated, so he left the capital early and returned to his fiefdom.

Shi An'er did not wait for King Xuan. Before she died, a dream scene appeared in front of her.

She saw that woman Jiang Lan was burned to death by the fire, she saw that she dedicated herself to King Xuan to save her father, she saw that she married Yuan Qingci as she wished, and she also saw her and King Xuan's son grow up healthily...

The child's name is Yuan Xixiu... It sounds so nice.

If all this is true, how wonderful it would be, this is the life she should live...

Why did it become like this...

Shi An'er closed her eyes forever in reluctance.

Those who do evil will surely die, and Shi An'er does not deserve sympathy.

The house was burned down, and Jiang Lan bought a big house again.

She is very rich now, and she directly bought a yard in a prime location. The neighbors around are all well-known high-ranking officials.

Jiang Lan's top boss, the Minister of Works, also lives on this street, but his house was gifted by the emperor.

When Qiao moved, Jiang Lan generously invited people from the entire neighborhood to have a feast.

She is now considered a celebrity around the emperor, and everyone comes to support her except for a few sour scholars in the history table.

"Minister Jiang, may I ask if you are married?"

After this was said, everyone present fell silent.

It is true that men should marry when they are old enough and women should marry when they are old enough, but Jiang Lan is not an ordinary person.

The Minister of Works was drinking and was almost choked. Then he remembered that his trusted and beloved general was a woman.

Oops, he had never thought about this.

In fact, not only the Minister of Works, but everyone else was embarrassed.

Jiang Lan was really too tough, she was good at talking, and she was more domineering than men. Over time, people ignored her gender.

Who is not afraid of death and dares to match Jiang Lan? Isn't he afraid that she will get angry and blow up the mansion?

In fact, there are many people in Kyoto who like Jiang Lan.

Families with prosperous families are not afraid of fierce women at all.

Some old and lonely families hope to have a powerful woman who can support the family.

In addition, there are some who do not have good family conditions but want to be a gigolo, and they have also been planning for a long time.

Jiang Lan does not know that she has a lot of peach blossoms. She is just a person who destroys peach blossoms. She directly ignores all kinds of good intentions and is more straightforward than a straight woman.

Sister Jiang is an emotionless work machine!

"I used to have one, but now I have broken off the engagement. Men will only affect the progress of my work."

Jiang Lan said it very frankly, without any embarrassment.

"Does Minister Jiang have any new plans? I have a son..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Lan interrupted him.

"How can a man take care of his family if he has not yet accomplished his mission? I, Jiang Lan, will serve the Xi Kingdom until my death. I wonder if your son can wait for me for a few decades? When I complete my mission, then..."

"Forget it, forget it, I was just saying it casually..."

No matter how many sons you have, you can't waste them like this. This Jiang Lan is obviously not an easy person to get along with.

"What's the point of clinging to love? Don't you think that devoting your life to serving the country and the people is the greater cause?"

[I am laughing so hard. This meal felt like I was eating a pyramid scheme. ]

[The official just now thought: I shouldn't have said that. ]

[The other officials thought: No, we won't. 】

Later, somehow, this matter even reached the ears of Emperor Xizheng, and he specially summoned Jiang Lan to inquire about her lifelong affairs.

Jiang Lan still brought out the theory of dedicating herself to the country and the people.

As a result, the idiot Emperor Xizheng misunderstood and came up with a bad idea that made people laugh.

He actually asked Jiang Lan if she was willing to enter the palace as a concubine...

Jiang Lan thought that this guy was really narcissistic. Loving the country and loving the monarch are two completely different things.

She doesn't care who will be the emperor. If it doesn't work, she can kill the other person and take over herself.

"Your Majesty, if you don't want the harem to be flattened by me, you'd better not give bad ideas. I really don't hate getting married."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xizheng also gave up the idea.

To be fair, Jiang Lan is a beauty, but the harem is not short of beauties. Her ability is much more valuable than her appearance.

He just wanted to show his favor, not really like her. If she

doesn't want to, forget it...

Emperor Xizheng was relieved when he thought about it later. A woman like Jiang Lan is just a man in a woman's shell.

Fortunately, she was not taken into the harem, otherwise it would be suffocating to think about it.
