Chapter 193: Fire in the Sky
The night was as dark as ink, and Lingxin Courtyard was so quiet that one could almost hear the sound of moonlight falling.
Shen Yuling snuggled up to Feng Moheng, their breathing intertwined, and they fell asleep together.
However, the tranquility was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Wang Zhong hurried back in a hurry. The maid guarding outside the room did not dare to delay and walked into the room quietly. She half-knelt down and called softly beside the bed: "My Lord, Madam."
Shen Yuling frowned slightly in her sleep, but did not open her eyes.
Feng Moheng opened his eyes instantly, stood up slightly, and sat on the head of the bed. His voice was hoarse from just waking up, but still majestic: "What's the matter?"
"Butler Wang is outside seeking to see you." The maid reported.
Shen Yuling moaned, turned over, turned her back to the direction of the sound, and continued to sleep.
It was late at night and it was time for her to have a deep sleep.
Wang Zhong received the message and walked quickly into the house. He reported respectfully and anxiously through the screen painted with flowers and birds: "My Lord, the person I arranged to go to the manor brought back news that Liu Jingyi is writing a letter to the Liu family, and the content of the letter is all about Madam."
Feng Moheng's expression was stern: "What did she write?"
Wang Zhong's voice trembled slightly as he said, "She said that the lady was His Majesty's empress, and she wanted Lord Liu to expose the matter and avenge her sister."
Feng Moheng's face suddenly darkened, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Has the letter been sent out?"
Wang Zhong quickly responded, "No, Liu Jingyi raised some birds in the manor. No one had noticed it before, and she had never used them for anything. I didn't expect that after meeting the lady today, she would... plan to use these birds to send messages."
At this time, Shen Yuling was also awakened by Wang Zhong's words.
His eyes first showed something in thought, and then his pupils were filled with fear and panic.
He turned around and sat up.
Feng Moheng took her into his arms and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Liu Jingyi won't succeed."
Shen Yuling tightly grasped Feng Moheng's collar with both hands and said anxiously: "But...if she knows this, she will definitely tell Quan Minghe. If Quan Minghe knows, I...what should we do? Moreover, I can't let the Shen family get involved..."
When Feng Moheng thought of the hidden danger of Liu Jingyi, his eyes darkened instantly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed across his eyes.
He made a prompt decision and ordered, "Prepare the carriage and go to the manor."
Taking advantage of the cover of night, Feng Moheng and Shen Yuling got on the carriage together.
Inside Liu Jingyi's house.
She looked disheveled, lying on the bed with disheveled hair, empty eyes, and a look as if she had lost all hope in life.
Liu Jingyi heard the sound of the door bolt opening and slowly raised her head.
When he saw Feng Moheng and Shen Yuling, hatred and anger flashed in his eyes.
She suddenly started babbling, but could no longer utter any complete words.
She was fed poisoned wine, her throat became hoarse as if burned by fire, her vocal cords were damaged, and she could no longer make clear sounds.
Feng Moheng looked at Liu Jingyi like this, and the disgust in his eyes became more and more intense.
He had never told Liu Jingyi about his other identity because he wanted her to stay in peace in the manor. Otherwise, with his methods, he would have killed her long ago.
After all, once this identity is revealed to Quan Minghe, it will cause another uproar.
"Liu Jingyi, I spared your life, but you are never satisfied and are insatiable."
"I chose you between you and Yu Ling. It was the worst decision I have ever made in my life."
"Why do you have the nerve to show off in front of Yu Ling?"
As Feng Moheng spoke, he took a few steps forward. His tall figure was like a mountain, blocking the flickering candlelight on the table and casting a huge shadow on the ground.
His eyes were filled with oppression and a chilling light, directed straight at Liu Jingyi, who was lying in a miserable state on the bed.
Liu Jingyi was confused and terrified. She shook her head desperately, as if she wanted to deny everything.
What is Feng Moheng talking about!
She turned her gaze to Shen Yuling behind Feng Moheng, only to see Shen Yuling tilt her head slightly and raise her left eyebrow slightly.
In an instant, Liu Jingyi's mind became clear.
What else doesn't she understand? !
Shen Yuling came here to take revenge on her from the very beginning!
But she couldn't speak now, and didn't even have the chance to defend herself.
However, even if she could still speak, how could she defend herself?
Feng Moheng would never believe her at all. His heart and eyes were now filled with Shen Yuling, and he was only willing to believe Shen Yuling.
Liu Jingyi's heart was filled with hatred, and she glared back at Feng Moheng unscrupulously.
He opened his mouth and said fiercely: I curse you and Shen Yuling to die miserably!
When Feng Moheng saw Liu Jingyi's resentful look, the anger in his heart was completely ignited.
His eyes were as dark as the abyss, staring at her intently, the murderous intent in his eyes overflowing as if it were real.
"Since you already know Yu Ling's other identity, there is no need for you to survive in this world anymore."
He would never let this woman destroy the happiness he had worked so hard to obtain, and he would not give Kwon Myung-hyuk another chance to snatch his beloved wife away.
"Wang Zhong, I don't want to see any trace of this woman again."
Feng Moheng gave the order coldly without even turning his head.
After saying this, he turned around without hesitation, took Shen Yuling's hand, and left resolutely.
Just as Shen Yuling stepped out of the house and walked out of the gate, she heard a loud "bang" behind her, like a sudden thunder.
She turned around subconsciously.
Behind me, I saw flames all over the sky. The raging fire was like a ferocious beast, devouring everything madly.
She stared blankly at the tragic scene before her, her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, unable to move at all.
Inside the house, Liu Jingyi was locked inside.
Even though she had been poisoned and rendered mute, even though she was badly wounded by Feng Moheng and was disheartened, her instinct for survival made her never think of dying.
She pounded on the door desperately with her hands, making a "bang bang" sound, but the sound seemed so weak amid the roar of the fire.
However, the raging fire snake licked everything around it mercilessly, approaching her step by step, devouring her hope of escape bit by bit.
As Shen Yuling looked at this scene, scenes from the original owner's previous life emerged uncontrollably in her mind.
At that time, the original owner was pregnant and her face was full of despair.
Feng Moheng was also standing outside the house, holding Liu Jingyi's hand.
Liu Jingyi smiled widely, her smile was dazzlingly bright, and her eyes were full of pride.
What was Liu Jingyi thinking at that time?
Did he think that he had finally succeeded in replacing the heroine and was about to live the happy life he had always dreamed of?
Or is she feeling smug about the fact that she has captured Feng Moheng's heart?
And what is Feng Moheng thinking about?
Does he think that he already has Liu Jingyi's wholehearted love, so he is dismissive of the original owner's deep affection?
Is that why he could be so heartless and watch helplessly as the original owner and two others died in the raging sea of fire?
Shen Yuling may never know what those two people were thinking at that time.
Feng Moheng saw her dull expression and empty eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
He held her shoulders and asked gently, "Are you scared?"
Shen Yuling slowly came back to her senses and shook her head.
"Don't be afraid. She is the one who wants to hurt me. No matter what happens to her, it's all her own fault."
"Just like her sister, who was murdered by me, she deserved it."
It has always been a life-and-death situation between them.
Since Shen Yuling agreed to come to this world to complete the mission, he would not let these things bring any psychological burden to himself.
Feng Moheng also turned his gaze towards the flames in the sky, and the raging flames illuminated his face.
At this moment, Liu Jingyi's death seemed to have finally dispelled all the haze in his first half of life.
From now on, he and Yu Ling will completely put aside all past entanglements and start over completely.
He was the Marquis of Guiming, and she was about to become his wife.
After getting married, they will have the fruit of their love and watch the child grow up little by little.
They will run this family together and leave countless happy memories in the Marquis' Mansion.
From then on, the years were peaceful and the world was quiet.
Her wish is that her marriage will be happy, her music will be harmonious and her love will last forever; her home will be peaceful, her house will be auspicious and full of laughter, and she will be blessed with many fortunes every year.
He would spend the rest of his life making it happen for her.
