Chapter 186 A Fire Broke Out in the Middle of the Night, and Lin Xuefu Was Buried in the Flames
As he finished speaking, Doctor Zhang couldn't help but think to himself: If someone is poisoned today and driven crazy tomorrow, it's no wonder that people can live longer.
It was becoming increasingly unbearable to stay in the Yanglinghou Mansion. Before, he wanted to work hard for a few more years to save some money and go out for retirement, but now it seemed that he had better forget it. If he stayed here any longer, he was afraid that he would lose his life for retirement.
When she was suddenly informed of her death, Mrs. Yanglinghou couldn't accept it for a moment. She glared at Lin Xuefu with a vicious look, "It's her! She must be the one who harmed me secretly!"
After saying that, he got up again and rushed towards Lin Xuefu, pushed her to the ground, and slapped her hard, as if he wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Crisp slaps came one after another, and Lin Xuefu felt a burning pain on her cheek. She grabbed Madam Yanglinghou's hand and struggled wildly. The whole room suddenly became chaotic, with curses and throbbing sounds coming one after another.
Marquis Yangling really didn't have the eyes to see this increasingly ridiculous scene, and quickly ordered his servants to step forward and pull the two apart.
"Two lunatics! Tie them both up!"
Not long after, several girls who went to Fuyun Pavilion to search for fake pregnancy medicine also came back, and brought back a white porcelain bottle containing a small half bottle of brown pills.
Doctor Zhang crushed the pills and smelled them for a while, but could not smell the medicinal properties.
Compared with Dr. Liang of Huichun Hall, Dr. Zhang's medical skills are far behind.
Qin Luan directly asked the girl to take out a pill and swallow it, and then asked Doctor Zhang to diagnose her pulse. If Lin Xuefu dared to take it every day, there would probably be no side effects.
This time, Dr. Zhang unexpectedly diagnosed a happy pulse. At this point, Lin Xuefu's false pregnancy was completely exposed.
Marquis Yangling slammed the table angrily, "Lin Xuefu, you are so brave. You make trouble again and again. Are you treating us like fools?"
Lin Xuefu smiled sarcastically. Now that the matter was over, there was nothing more to pretend, "Uncle, are you trying to cover up the fact that you are stupid?"
"Speaking of which, in the entire Mu family, Mu Xueliu is the only one with a brain. You idiots have all been fooled by me. Ten years, hahaha, ten years!"
Not knowing what she thought of, Lin Xuefu's laughter stopped, and then she murmured: "Ha, after ten years of planning, it ended up being nothing but a mirror image. How ironic."
Marquis Yangling gritted his teeth angrily, "Bitch! The Marquis Yangling Mansion actually raised such a wolf-hearted thing like you!"
Mu Ziqian was stunned on the spot, unable to come to his senses for a long time. So, could it be that the baby he had admired and doted on for ten years was actually a cold-blooded monster who used everyone in the Mu family as pawns?
After being stunned for a long time, Mu Ziqian screamed in pain: "Lin Xuefu, I treat you as a treasure, but you just want to climb up on me, do you have any intention?"
Lin Xuefu raised her head, looked at Mu Ziqian and sneered softly: "Mu Ziqian, put away your cheap feelings. You keep saying you love me, but you sleep with different women every night. I find it disgusting! "
Mu Ziqian's face became increasingly ugly, and he felt as if he had never really known Lin Xuefu.
However, God still seemed to think that the Yangling Marquis Mansion was not chaotic enough, and the panicked voice of the servant came from outside the door again, "Master Marquis, Young Master, it's not good, Aunt Qingzhu is in trouble!"
Because she was pregnant with the eldest grandson of the Yangling Marquis Mansion, even though Qingzhu was only a maid, she was still well protected, but something happened anyway.
Before anyone could react, another anxious female voice sounded outside the door: "Auntie, it's not good, the young master has a fever!"
For a moment, the entire Jingque Pavilion fell into panic again.
Yanglinghou led Qin Luan to Fuchuntang quickly, while Mu Ziqian ran towards Qingzhu in anger regardless of the fact that Lin Xuefu was falsely pregnant, and what was in Qingzhu's belly was his only baby. child.
After a burst of chaotic footsteps, only Aunt Qiao and Madam Yanglinghou's nephew were left in the room. Oh, and there was also Doctor Zhang who wanted to take advantage of the chaos and left and had already walked to the door.
Aunt Qiao, who had never seen this scene before, panicked and quickly called out to Doctor Zhang, "Doctor Zhang, don't leave!"
"Madam's condition is not stable. Please follow her to Qifutang to take care of her."
Doctor Zhang turned around stiffly and responded with a grimace, only regretting that he had run too slowly just now.
Then he looked at the women standing aside and said, "You guys, take Aunt Lin to the woodshed first, and wait until the Marquis is free tomorrow."
After cleaning the house, Aunt Qiao walked towards the dormitory with a tired look on her face, sighing in her heart that the big family was really not nice to her.
Lin Xuefu was held down by several women and brought to the woodshed. She made no noise all the way, as if she had accepted her fate. It wasn't until the women walked away that she used a little force to break free of the cloth strips on her wrists.
The cloth strips on her wrists had long been loosened, but she had kept silent.
Lin Xuefu spent a lot of effort to pile up the debris in the woodshed and climbed up to reach the window of the woodshed.
As she thought, the window was unlocked.
Lin Xuefu climbed down again and piled up everything she could in the room. She didn't care that two one-inch long cuts were made on her hands during the process. She wanted to live.
Finally, Lin Xuefu reached the window. The moment the cool breeze blew on her face, Lin Xuefu jumped down without thinking.
Just after midnight, the Yanglinghou Mansion, which had finally calmed down after a rowdy night, heard a cry again: "Come quickly, someone has escaped!"
…
The next day, Shen Qing slept until half past midnight before getting up.
After a tiring night yesterday, the curfew was almost over when she and Lu Yan returned to the city. Fortunately, Lu Yan had a high enough status and had greeted him in advance when he left the city, so they were able to enter the city smoothly.
Hearing the noise inside the house, Chan Yi's voice sounded outside the door, "Miss, are you awake?"
"Yes, come in."
Chan Yi entered the house to help Shen Qing dress and put on makeup, while reporting to her, "Miss, there was a big fire in Yangling Marquis's Mansion last night. The fire came suddenly, and the wind happened to blow. I heard that it burned half of Yangling Marquis's Mansion and burned several maids who didn't have time to run away."
Shen Qing was a little surprised, "How did the fire start?"
Chan Yi lowered her voice and responded, "Just now, Aunt Xu's people sent a message saying that the fire was set by Aunt Lin..."
Last night, after Lin Xuefu went out of the firewood room, in order to escape from Yangling Marquis's Mansion smoothly, she secretly went to Fuyun Pavilion to steal a fire starter, avoided the night patrol guards and quietly set a fire in the warehouse, Hongyan Hall and Qifu Hall in the mansion.
Even if she was ready to leave, Lin Xuefu didn't want to let Yangling Marquis's wife and Mu Ziqian have an easy time.
The fire was raging, and everyone in the mansion went to put out the fire. Lin Xuefu took advantage of the chaos and ran to the back door. She picked up the scissors in her hand and began to force the lock. There was no one around, which was convenient for her to perform.
But as luck would have it, there was a lazy gatekeeper who did not go to put out the fire and was alarmed by the sound of Lin Xuefu's lock breaking. Lin Xuefu had no choice but to turn around and run back.
After all, there was a huge difference in physical strength. Although Lin Xuefu tried her best, she was still caught up by the servant. In a hurry, Lin Xuefu kicked the servant's lower body hard and escaped.
Lin Xuefu wanted to run to the back door again, but found that the night patrol guards had already started looking for people everywhere, so she had to hide temporarily in an empty room nearby.
However, after a night of fatigue, Lin Xuefu just leaned against the wall slightly, and then she felt fatigue sweeping down like an overwhelming blanket. When she woke up after a short rest, she found that the fire had burned to her without knowing when.
Lin Xuefu desperately called for help, but the guards were only busy putting out the fire, and no one came in to help.
The fire was too big, and they didn't want to risk their lives for Lin Xuefu.
Lin Xuefu was burned to death in the end, and her hands were clinging to the window until she died.
She was only one step away from survival.
However, this time, she was not lucky enough to escape again.
