Chapter 320 You are not allowed to change others!
That night.
A raging fire engulfed Prince Long's Mansion, no, it was now Marquis Longfeng's Mansion.
The flames shot up into the sky, dyeing the sky above red. People from nearby mansions sent people to fetch water to put out the fire to prevent it from spreading to their own homes.
However, the servants of the Marquis' Mansion ran out of the mansion with black and gray faces, running all the way outside.
"Isn't that the young marquis's attendant? Why did he run away?"
"You dare to run away after being indebted to death? Don't you want to live?" As a fellow servant, he knew best that running away at this time would only lead to a more miserable death.
"It doesn't look like running. That direction, is it towards Prince Yong's Mansion?"
No one was sure whether the fire was spreading in the direction other than Prince Yong's mansion, but the fire was still raging, and no one cared where others were going. They immediately started fetching water to put out the fire.
The follower was indeed determined to go to Prince Yong's Mansion. He didn't dare to take a breath and bumped into the closed door without stopping.
Ignoring the pain, he kept banging on the door.
The concierge opened the door and was about to rush in, but was stopped by the palace guards. He shouted anxiously, "Help! Please, Concubine Su, help! My marquis is unconscious and keeps talking about me. Please, Concubine Su, go see my marquis."
Although Prince Yong's Mansion and Marquis Longfeng's Mansion are not in the same alley, the distance between them is not far. The red light over there can be seen from the Prince's Mansion, but I don't know which one it is.
Now, upon hearing this, I understood that there was a fire in the Marquis Longfeng's mansion and the young marquis was still unconscious.
The people below did not dare to delay and immediately went to report.
The news was passed in layer by layer, and soon someone came out with a lantern.
It’s Luo E.
Seeing that it wasn't Su Rui, the attendant asked anxiously, "Where's Concubine Su?"
"The concubine has rested. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
The attendant shook his head. "No, my young marquis has been unconscious since he was rescued from the fire. The doctor said he's probably beyond help. He keeps muttering about the concubine. She's the only relative he has left in the world. The doctor said if he sees her and hears her voice, maybe he can come back to life."
The more he spoke, the more anxious he became, and the follower couldn't stop crying.
It's not that he is loyal to the wolf cub, but that he is in a death contract. When the master dies, there will be no one to inherit, and everything will be taken back by the court. These death contracts will all be sold.
In this situation, people would think it was unlucky and would be unwilling to buy it. There was a high probability that they would be sent to forced labor, which would be a miserable life with no end.
Although Luo E's identity was different, she also knew the pain of these death contracts. She also knew that the relationship between Wolf Cub and Su Rui was not close, but not bad either. It was a bit complicated. But now in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, some were dead and some were exiled. Apart from the Gold Group and the Silver Group, the only one who had a blood relationship with Su Rui was Wolf Cub.
If she were gone, Su Rui would really be left alone. Even if the relationship was complicated, bloodline was unpredictable. But that incident had just happened today, and disturbing Su Rui now would make her mood even worse.
Master Yun Yi had instructed that Su Rui needed to be in a good mood and rest peacefully.
Just as she was hesitating whether to tell Su Ruidu, a faint light from a lantern shone from behind the screen. Before Luo E could turn around to see, the attendant had already knelt and cried, "Concubine Su, please have pity on my little marquis. He is so young. Please go see him and talk to him. Please save the little marquis."
"Have someone harness the car."
Su Rui spoke, and seeing that she didn't look too tired, Luo E nodded and asked someone to do it.
When they arrived at the Marquis of Longfeng's Mansion, the fire had already been extinguished. The Fire Dragon Team and the firefighters all had gray and black faces. Before they could catch their breath, they saw Su Rui getting off the carriage.
I was stunned for a moment.
But soon no one found it strange anymore. After all, Su Rui was Wolf Cub's aunt. Although their relationship was not close, Wolf Cub had reported Prince Long before and was already a member of the Yunji faction. Even today on the boat, he spoke up for Su Rui.
Moreover, those who had just put out the fire knew that the fire broke out in the wolf cub's study. He fell asleep while reading and knocked over the candle in a daze, which caused the fire to break out.
When they found it, flames were already rising into the sky. The people who were rescued were already dead, and they only had one or two breaths left.
Still a child, so pitiful.
Thinking about it, they left without saying much.
Su Rui walked into the mansion against the flow of people. It was wet everywhere. Following the water marks, she could smell a strong burnt smell from afar.
When I got closer, I saw that the entire study and a row of houses were burned to the ground.
The wolf cub was placed in the guest room in the next yard. His face was gray and black, his hair was half burnt off and was disheveled, and his clothes were dirty and tattered. He looked a bit like a wild child in his days in Fozhuang.
His arms and feet were bandaged with gauze, and the red blood showed that the area he was burned was not small.
"I'll have a few words with him, and then you all can get out."
Everyone in the Marquis Longfeng's mansion was counting on Su Rui to bring the wolf cub back to life, so they all hurried out. Luo E was a little worried, so after Su Rui nodded slightly, she left, closed the door, and stood guard outside.
Looking at the wolf cub on the bed, Su Rui moved a stool over and sat down beside the bed. "Why did you have to be like this?"
The wolf cub suddenly opened his eyes, climbed up, glared at Su Rui and complained, "If it wasn't for you, would I have to do this? If not, would others believe it?"
This stinky woman is so ungrateful!
"You don't need others to believe it. Besides, you set the study on fire for yourself." Su Rui mercilessly exposed the wolf cub's little thoughts.
The wolf cub felt guilty and did not refute.
He did use Su Rui to deliberately set fire to Prince Long's former study and burn all the remaining things. No matter who ascended the throne in the future, there would be no way to investigate.
"No matter what, I did as you asked." Just from the few glances they exchanged on the boat, he knew Su Rui wanted to see him, and that she couldn't go to Prince Yong's mansion. "Tell me, what do you want to do? If the conditions are right, I can consider collaborating with you."
The wolf cub raised his chin and waited proudly.
It seemed as if he was saying silently, "The day has finally come for you to come and beg me. Let me hear how you plan to beg me."
"I want to leave Beijing."
These four words froze the wolf cub's pride.
Looking at Su Rui, he knew that it wasn't just a matter of leaving Shengjing for a few days, but... "Did I tell you about leaving the capital when we were at Fuyuan?"
"Yes, can you do it now?"
The wolf cub hadn't expected Su Rui to leave at this moment. "Because you met the Second Prince today? What did you say? Is Prince Yong going to die?"
Su Rui didn't answer, but stood up and said, "If you can't do it, I'll find someone else."
"Who said I can't do it!" The wolf cub quickly reached out and grabbed Su Rui's sleeve, forgetting the burn on his arm. He gasped in pain, but still gritted his teeth and said, "I can do it! You are not allowed to change anyone else until I ask!"
