Chapter 240: A Life Ruined by a Time Traveling Girl (7)
Chu Nanfeng protected Su Meir and ran out, "I still like her even if she is seen naked by others. Don't think I don't know it was you who did it. And you, even if you take off your clothes in front of me, I will feel disgusted."
"..."Ah ...
Pei Yuanzhou was horrified: "What are you going to do? Let her go!"
"Ahhh!!"
Su Mei'er was pushed into the fire, and Mei Lanying dragged Pei Yuanzhou over as well, "You beast! All this is your fault. Who told you to marry me and betray me? Go to hell too!"
"no, do not want!"
When Mei Lanying pushed him over, Pei Yuanzhou also pulled her over and they both fell into the fire.
When Chu Nanfeng saw this scene, it was too late for him to save people. The fire was growing bigger and bigger and had surrounded the entire courtyard.
He couldn't see Su Meir, and he didn't want to lose his life saving others, so he ran away without looking back.
But when the burning pain spread throughout her body, Mei Lanying felt regretful. She screamed and ran out, but it was too late. She watched herself being swallowed by the fire snake.
“Nooooooooooo!!”
By the time the fire was put out, Mei Lanying had already turned into charcoal, Pei Yuanzhou was burned all over his body and his face was disfigured. As for Su Meir, her body was never seen and no one knew whether she was dead or alive.
Mei Lanying's tragic death naturally led to a thorough investigation in the Prime Minister's Office. Then word spread in the capital that Pei Yuanzhou and Chu Nanfeng had an affair here and were discovered by Mei Lanying, leading to the tragedy.
Chu Nanfeng hurriedly came out to deny it and distanced himself from them, saying that he had never appeared there. But even if he distanced himself from the matter, the people nearby were not blind. The prime minister was sure that he was involved in the matter, but the emperor had put him under house arrest, so he could only remain silent and wait for the opportunity.
Pei Yuanzhou's face was disfigured and he now looked like a half-human, half-ghost. His temperament changed drastically and his wailing could be heard in the general's mansion every day.
One of the original owner's enemies died and one was injured. Jiuge hasn't seen Su Meir, and always feels that she is not dead yet. Don't ask why. The reason is that the time-traveling woman has the aura of the protagonist.
Because of Mei Lanying's death, Xiao's parents also confined Jiuge to his home.
"Don't go out for the time being. Both King Rui and Pei Yuanzhou are not good people. We are also afraid that they will target you again. If it really doesn't work, let your mother take you back to your hometown to hide for a while."
Jiuge: “…”
"Ok."
Jiuge didn't want to make them worry, so she had to listen to them, but she still had to find out where Su Meir was hiding.
That day, after returning from the Hanlin Academy, Father Xiao was in a bad mood. Jiuge noticed that something was wrong with her and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Father Xiao glanced at her, sighed, and said, "Xiaojiu, why don't you and your mother go back to your hometown first."
Jiuge narrowed her eyes slightly, and Xiao's mother also hurried in from outside. She looked flustered and said, "Husband, Jiuer, something happened to Xiaoxiao."
The Xiaoxiao she mentioned was the daughter of a distant relative of Xiao's mother's family. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was taken into the prince's palace and became the prince's concubine. Although her status was not high, she was fortunate to have a son, so the prince treated her differently.
However, during this period, the prince's temperament suddenly changed and he took her child away. She didn't even see his shadow. She also learned that the prince suddenly made things difficult for her mother's family in the officialdom, and Xiao's father, who was related to her family, was not spared.
She felt it was strange, so she informed her clansmen whether there was any trouble between her and the prince, so that she could have a plan to deal with it.
Xiao's father and mother sighed and didn't know how to deal with these crises. After all, the people they relied on could help them once or twice, but they were facing the future crown prince, and they couldn't let others take on the challenge for them.
Jiuge seemed to know why the prince was targeting their family.
……
She disguised herself at night and came to the Prince's Mansion. Jiuge looked around but couldn't find the Prince, so she had to ask Tan Xiao.
Tan Xiao was startled when she saw someone suddenly appear in the room. She opened her mouth to call for help, but Jiuge quickly covered her mouth and said, "It's me, Xiao Jiuge."
Tan Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, glanced outside, and sized up Jiuge, revealing curved eyes, bright eyes, white teeth, and a sweet smile, "So you are my aunt's daughter. Why are you here? But my aunt asked you to come."
Jiuge shook his head and said, "No, I came to thank you for reminding our prince of his abnormality. Secondly, I want to ask if there are any new people in your mansion recently, especially special people who like to be in the spotlight."
She also saw that Tan Xiao was a smart person. She believed that everyone would suffer when one suffers and everyone would prosper when one prospers. She could take care of even the most distant relatives, so she must be a person who thinks about the overall situation.
Tan Xiao thought for a moment and said, "I have paid attention to the women in the mansion, but they are all from honest families. I don't see anything unusual."
Suddenly she thought of something else, "It's just that the prince has been staying in the study for too long recently, and there is a guard beside him who can enter and leave his study at will."
Her eyes flashed: "Could this be the problem?"
Jiuge said: "But I didn't see him in the study."
Tan Xiao pondered for a moment, "Look again, the prince didn't leave the house tonight."
Jiuge understood, and she said: "Then you should be careful, I will notify you if anything happens."
Tan Xiao nodded: "Thank you very much, but since you are so capable, can you help me see if my Hong'er is okay?"
Jiuge agreed to her request, and she returned to the study. After looking around the room, she saw a shiny tabletop on a shelf. It looked like someone often touched this place.
Jiuge twisted the vase on top, and the shelf slowly moved away, revealing a long passage behind it.
She walked into the tunnel and found it quite spacious. There were separate rooms filled with various weapons as well as gold, silver and jewelry.
This is obviously ill-gotten gains, and there are also weapons. "Is he planning to rebel?"
After all, he is the future crown prince, but he still has such thoughts. It seems that everyone in the royal family is not an easy person to deal with.
So Jiuge had to help him get rid of this idea. When she saw those boxes of treasures, her eyes lit up, "Hahaha, they're all mine!!"
She waved her hand, and all those things disappeared from where they were. Feeling the space was full, Jiuge felt particularly comfortable.
Lai Fu's eyes were filled with sourness. It was a pity that those things were of no use to him. He couldn't even exchange them for points. He really wanted to be a human so that he could enjoy life to the fullest. Unlike this stingy host, who had so much money but still lived like a bitter gourd. He didn't know how to enjoy life and all his money was wasted.
Jiuge didn't understand Lai Fu's complaints. She collected gold, silver and jewelry along the way and finally crawled out from under the floor tiles of an ancestral hall.
Hearing the noise, it seemed that there was someone guarding outside, Jiuge climbed out carefully.
