When everyone was led to the main courtyard, the gate was wide open. The two people who were supposed to be on night duty had been transferred elsewhere, and the maids and servants had all rested. The courtyard was quiet.
And a few children were lighting a fire.
"Burn them to death. Now no one will come after us for our things. And that little brat, we didn't throw him to death this morning. Let's see how he can escape this time. If they're all dead, those things will belong to the Zhang family. When my sister gets married, I can have whatever I want."
"Let's go back after the fire is lit!"
"No hurry, I'll go back later. I want to see the fire burn them with my own eyes."
"Wait a little longer and someone will find out."
"If they found out, what's there to be afraid of? Didn't Mom and Dad tell us? Let's just say that they were mad at her for scaring and bullying me. We are just children anyway, and our uncle won't punish us. He even tried to kill his son during the day, but he didn't punish him. He'll just say a few words to us, what's there to be afraid of? At most, he'll say a few more words to us later."
Su Chengang had never thought that the Zhang family would think this way. Even a child could do such a thing and say such words.
During the day, he blamed Bai Zhiyue for making a big deal out of nothing and being too harsh on her family. Unexpectedly, she slapped him in the face the next moment. He was more than just doing it on purpose; the whole family harbored malicious intentions, so bold that he could not even imagine it.
At this time, all the people who followed looked at their third uncle Zhang Fengjiang. He was so busy chasing birds that he forgot that this yard was the main yard and that the children wanted to set fire.
"I~We are not, they~"
It’s hard to say what to say, these naughty kids have already said everything they need to say.
Seeing that the fire had been lit, Su Chen felt like he couldn't breathe. His only son, who was less than two months old, was still inside.
"My Lord, you smell like oil. They poured oil on you. This fire~"
"Hurry up and call someone to put out the fire and catch them for me."
Several servants who had followed him went to call for help while others went to grab the child.
Su Chen was kicking and beating the naughty kids like crazy, especially Qing'er.
"Who gave you the guts to set fire to my son? I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
"Ah~ Who told you to steal my things? Who told her to make us return those things? They are already ours. Why should we return them? I want to burn her."
Zhang Fengjiang felt embarrassed and guilty when everyone looked at him, and he broke out in a sweat.
"Gang'er, the children are just angry at Bai. They are just playing around. Let's put out the fire quickly. We will discipline them when we get back and they will never do it again."
"Haha, just a kid playing around, just a kid playing around, do you think I'm deaf?"
They have come to make trouble several times, and every time they said it was just children playing, and the adults were giving advice behind the scenes. It's funny that I actually believed it before.
The third uncle was anxious. He could see that Gang'er was furious. What should he do? Why hadn't his elder and second brothers come yet? He couldn't handle it alone.
People came to put out the fire one after another. Bai Zhiyue also prepared flame retardant inside and put it on the window cloth, door curtains and bed sheets, and put it on the fire one by one. With the help of people outside, the fire was put out in a short while.
At this time, Bai Zhiyue came out holding Doudou, her body was blackened by smoke, and she deliberately let her son cry until he was hoarse.
"Madam, are you all right? How's the young master?"
In order to put out the fire and save the lady and the young master as soon as possible, Qinglian and Hongying suffered several burns on their bodies.
"We're fine. You two go find the court doctor and have him check the injuries of all the people who put out the fire."
"Sir, would you like to take a look?"
"I covered his mouth and nose. He was just scared. It's okay."
Su Chen just saw that she ignored him, opened his mouth several times, and said only one sentence
"I'm glad the child is okay!"
"Oh, I'm glad you're alright! Get out of the way, I need to deal with someone now. Anyone who gets in my way today will be killed!"
"I~"
He wanted to say that he would not let these people go, but he couldn't say it.
"I wonder if he felt any pain from this slap on the face."
Doudou communicated with his mother while crying during the performance
"People like him will never admit they are wrong, and even if they are wrong, it is someone else's fault."
Qing'er saw him appear with Doudou in his arms, his chubby face covered in snot from crying, his small eyes glaring at him.
"Why aren't you dead? Why is he still alive?"
"Even if you die, we won't die!"
Bai Zhiyue didn't want to waste time talking to these people, so she kicked Pang Qing down with her foot, and kicked him hard on the right arm that was on fire.
"It was this hand that spilled the oil, it was this hand that started the fire, it was this hand that used both hands to overthrow Qinglian today. Of course, this is only the hand you used to commit the evil deed. Let's talk about this hand's sin first."
Push your feet hard.
"Ahhh~ Let me go, let me go~ Uncle, save me, Mom and Dad, come and save me~"
The other two children were so frightened that they cried even harder.
"I can't stand it. Where's the cruelty from before, the cruelty of killing and arson?"
“It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me, they made me do it!
It was my parents, uncles and aunts who decided to let us set the fire. The oil was stolen by my third uncle from the kitchen. Woohoo~ If they return all the things, the house will be empty.
If I burn you and the child, my cousin won't be angry. I can compensate him with a bride and have a few more sons. If you die, he might even be happy.
Sister Yun asked me to do what I did this morning. She said that after she marries you, except for the child, you can choose anything you want and I will give you whatever you want.
Anyway, we are children and even if we are caught doing something bad, our uncle will not punish us. He didn’t punish us this morning, and you are fine now, so let me go, I won’t dare to do it again. "
"They surrounded me on purpose at noon to give you an opportunity, didn't they?"
Push harder with your feet.
"Ah~ Yes, yes, who told you to keep watching him and not give us a chance!"
Su Chen's face turned black when he heard this, and Zhang Fengjiang felt a chill run down his head. He wanted to cover Qing'er's mouth, but Bai Zhiyue's sharp eyes prevented him from taking a step. He was afraid that if he went over, he would be the one to have his arm stepped on and broken.
Bai Zhiyue simply cut off both of his arms, and the other two children's hands, to see if they dared to treat killing as fun again. She didn't care about killing others, but when it came to her and the children, even the children were not allowed to do so.
No matter how many children were lying on the ground wailing, Bai Zhiyue's eyes met Zhang Fengjiang.
Although he was anxious because his child was not on the ground, he did not feel very sad, because it was not his child after all.
Seeing that it was his turn, he was so scared that he immediately turned to Su Chenggang.
"Gang'er, I'm your uncle!"
Bai Zhiyue said while kicking Zhang Fengjiang,
"Doudou still calls you uncle, and you guys want to burn him to death just for a little bit of property. You even send a woman in to take over my dowry and transfer the property to the Zhang family. You're just another Rong family, right?"
"Not only did he instigate them to set the fire, he even stole oil and poured it on the doors and windows. Were you afraid we wouldn't escape in time and be trapped to death, huh?"
