As for the fourth wife, Liu, she could no longer cry, and could only limp forward woodenly under the man's pull. Every step she took left a bloody footprint, but she didn't care about the excruciating pain.

Suddenly, a few people with lanterns and torches came towards us.

Wen Feng pushed Liu in his arms behind the tree next to him, stood there with his arms and legs spread out, looking at the person who came indifferently.

The one who came was his wife, the second wife in charge, Mrs. Wu.

Mrs. Wu was wearing a cloak and a headscarf around her hair. It seemed that she had also gone to bed and got up in a hurry.

The eldest son was about to get married, and there was a fire in the house!

Not knowing what was going on, Wu was walking anxiously.

Suddenly, the lantern reflected a figure, and when I looked again, it turned out to be a naked man. "Ah?!" I screamed, and took a closer look...

"…" It was actually her husband! Standing in the middle of the road, naked and uncovered, with a sullen face and full of momentum! It was as if he was here to catch her cheating! Wu couldn't help but blush with shame.

She had been in charge of the household for many years and reacted quickly, so she quickly took off her cloak and put it on her husband.

When she walked around her husband, she glanced at the person in the shadow of the tree. She could only see a white body, but could not see the person's appearance clearly.

She turned around and gestured to her maid, who had a woman's hairstyle and was pretty. She was the concubine that Wu gave to her husband.

The girl understood and quickly took off her cloak, walked over and handed it to the woman in the shadows.

Mrs. Wu dared not say a single extra word in front of her husband.

Wen Feng said coldly: "Go and see if the fire is out! Don't alarm mother."

"Yes." Wu answered in a low voice. She didn't dare to stay any longer and took her people away directly.

The woman in the shadow clutched her cloak tightly.

"You go back first. If there is anything, we can talk about it later." Wen Feng said and left.

…

As Wu walked away, she asked the maid, "Did you see who it was?"

"Her hair is covering her face! But she doesn't feel... like a servant." The girl whispered.

Wu thought as she walked, "Who could that be... Could it be that bitch!?" She thought of someone and spoke through gritted teeth, her eyes fierce.

If that's true...she's dead!

After Wen Feng left, Liu wrapped herself in her cloak hastily, walked for a while, stumbling over and over, and finally returned to her own courtyard.

Her courtyard was in the opposite direction of the fire and was quite far away.

The door was ajar and there was no sound in the yard or in the house.

He quietly entered the room, sat on the bed, held his face in his hands, and began to tremble all over, with his teeth chattering.

"It's over..." Her heart sank.

…

It was the dark shadow that left in the dark night, who sneaked into Furongxuan, set fire to it, and locked the courtyard door.

Then, pinching her nose, she screamed, "Fire!"

When the job is done, just leave.

Although the garden was dark and there was no lantern to lead the way, the slender black shadow did not stumble or hesitate at all.

His steps were light and brisk, like those of a merry night elf.

At this moment, they had arrived at the small courtyard at the very corner of the mansion.

The courtyard door was ajar, and there was a person waiting anxiously inside.

Seeing the dark shadow coming in, he quickly opened the door a little wider.

The door had been oiled a few days ago, so there was no sound at all!

Neither of them said anything, closed the door, and prepared to go into the house.

But at this moment, the door of the west side room next to the courtyard gate opened, and a maid came out holding an oil lamp.

I saw two people in the yard at a glance.

"Who!?" the girl screamed.

"What are you yelling about?!" the woman who just returned scolded softly.

"Ah?! Yes, it's the girl?!" The voice came from the maid Hong Xing'er. She was almost scared to death when she found out that the person standing at the door was her own girl Wen Yu.

"Hmph!" Wen Yu snorted.

"What do you mean? There was such a commotion outside just now that even the girl got up to see what was going on. Are you deaf and didn't hear me, or are you just lazy?!"

The one who spoke was Hongdou, the lackey beside Wen Yu. She stood with her hands on her waist and got angry at Hong Xing'er.

A wave of anger rushed to Hong Xing'er's head. We are all grown-up girls, so what right do you have to yell at me? But when she saw the girl and Hong Dou being intimate, her attitude softened reluctantly, "I just heard it..."

Taking advantage of the night, she glared fiercely at her girl and Hongdou.

Wen Yu didn't look at her, but looked out through the crack in the door. She could faintly hear sounds in the distance.

Then she turned around and looked at Hong Xing'er, her eyes brightened by the light of the lamp: "Hong Xing'er, you can take the oil lamp and go take a look. What happened?"

Hong Xing'er was not dressed neatly and didn't know what was happening outside, so she didn't really want to go.

In the past, facing this girl with a weak temper, she would have simply refused.

They would also turn their faces away and say some unpleasant words.

But I don’t know what happened... Since two or three months ago, when the girl turned 15 and came of age, her personality suddenly changed!

There isn’t much change outside, but in my own yard, it’s amazing!

At this moment, even if Hong Xing'er was unwilling, she could only secretly hate in her heart: Humph, girl...what's so great about you? In this family, even the maid who has a good reputation is more respectable than you!

You just take it out on me! Wait until the Madam and the Second Girl come back and see how I'll complain! You'll have a hard time!

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he didn't dare not go, so he walked out of the yard reluctantly.

Wen Yu and Hong Dou looked at each other, returned to the bedroom, and turned on the oil lamp.

In order to facilitate movement, Wen Yu wore dark tight clothes and lace-up shoes.

Hongdou helped her change her clothes and shoes and checked them carefully.

"I didn't leave anything behind. I didn't take anything with me!" Wen Yu said.

"Is it going well?" Hongdou came closer and asked carefully.

"Yeah!" Wen Yu looked at Hongdou in front of her, the beautiful little face under the oil lamp.

Thinking of this day in my previous life...her horrible appearance.

My eyes turned red...

Her eyes were slightly wet, and in the candlelight, they looked even more sparkling and lustrous, like stars.

Seeing the girl looking at her like that, Hongdou touched her face, which was yellow and black but tender like egg white, and said, "Miss, what's wrong with my face?"

Hongdou was born pretty and loved beauty. Anything related to beauty was a big deal to her! Recently, the girl always asked her to apply black medicine, which made her originally fair face turn black and yellow.

She was not happy.

"It's okay, our Hongdou is very beautiful!" Wen Yu said with a choked voice.

"The girl is really pretty! Hehe... Of course, Hongdou is pretty too!" Hongdou laughed heartlessly.

After a while, Hong Xing'er came back and called out from outside the door, "Miss."

Well, she is much more well-behaved than before.

"Come in!" Wen Yu lay down.

Hong Xing'er came in, "I went to take a look and heard that Furong Pavilion was on fire. The Second Madam and her men have put out the fire."

"Oh?! Furongxuan? No one was burned, right?!" Wen Yu asked curiously.

Did they burn to death?

Are you burned?

"I haven't heard of it. The Second Madam asked everyone to disperse, saying that she would clean up after daybreak."

"Okay, I get it, go back to sleep!"

Hong Xing'er went out, and the master and servant in the room also lay down.

The heroine is sleeping on the bed.

Hongdou had been keeping vigil for her since three months ago. Moreover, unlike before, she did not sleep on the floor. Wen Yu had a small couch set up under the window, and Hongdou slept on it.

After lying in bed for a while, I could hear Hongdou's even breathing.

Wen Yu couldn't help but shake her head: She is really heartless! Silly girl, do you know? Today in the last life...
