Zhu Xueling turned her head and looked at Zhixun sadly without saying anything else.
At the same time, Mrs. Wei turned to look at Qiu Shui, who was already in tears.
Feeling Mrs. Wei's gaze, Qiu Shui bit her lower lip and murmured, "I didn't expect it to be like this? I... really didn't expect..."
Mrs. Wei took a deep breath and said calmly, "Let's go!"
She really couldn't bear to watch it anymore. The sadness that she felt had swept over her entire body. She felt that if she didn't leave, she would become depressed.
"I received the jade pendant, but it was not given to me by Brother Zhixun, but by my father. My father asked me to carry it with me all the time. I know that it is Zhu Xueling's thing, the Emerald Ice Soul, what a famous thing! I guess everyone in the Zhu Mansion doesn't know that the treasure is Miss Zhu's dowry. Even many young masters from aristocratic families are very attentive to Miss Zhu just for that treasure. Zhu Xueling once took me to the Treasure Pavilion to see her dowry... At that time, I was really confused. I thought this was Zhu Xueling's compensation to our family, and it was used to buy Brother Zhixun. I was very angry, and I smashed the jade pendant angrily! I didn't know, I really didn't know, they... they did so much for me!" Qiu Shui squatted down and burst into tears.
Mrs. Wei no longer had the energy to pay attention to Qiu Shui and walked straight out.
After walking for a while, Qiu Shui's weak voice came from behind: "Where are we going now?"
"Do you still have any resentment towards me? Do you still have any resentment in your heart?" Mrs. Wei turned her head and looked at Qiu Shui aggressively.
Qiu Shui just stared blankly at Mrs. Wei. Resentment? Of course not. What was there for her to hate? If she had to hate anything, it would only be her own birth, the fact that she was a half-demon. As for resentment... Zhixun was everything to her. She had originally thought she would have everything, but now... she had nothing. How could she not resent?
Mrs. Wei shook her head and said, "Let's keep moving forward!" As long as Qiu Shui's resentment did not subside, they probably would not be able to go back.
There were bursts of noise coming from the front. Mrs. Wei and Qiu Shui took a look and quickened their pace. Gradually, they saw tiny dots of light, as if many torches were lit in the fog. The torches became more and more numerous... Suddenly, Qiu Shui's terrified cry came from behind: "Fire!"
At the same time, the scene in front of her became clear. Mrs. Wei saw Qiuyue tied to a piece of wood, with firewood piled underneath. Two strong men were pouring kerosene on the firewood. There were people standing all around, holding torches, shouting and cursing like crazy. Only the head of the Zhu family sat majestically in the main seat, with a faint smile on his face, and did not utter a word.
"Clang!" A bronze gong rang out, and the Zhu family's patriarch stood up and ordered with a serious expression, "Begin!"
So, those who had torches in their hands threw their torches at the firewood, and a fire broke out all of a sudden.
"Qiu Shui!" Zhixun roared at the top of his lungs and rushed out from behind the crowd, rushing towards the fire without thinking.
That resolute expression seemed to tell everyone that if he couldn't save Qiu Shui today, he would rather be burned to death together with Qiu Shui.
"Why is he here? Stop him!" The head of the Zhu family was furious and shouted at the guests around him.
Then many guests rushed forward to stop Zhixun!
