Su He looked down and found that a lot of turbid and sticky oil had gathered around the yard without him noticing.

If a flame were to appear suddenly, the whole yard would be on fire!

Lu Huaihe was just about to carry Su He out of the house, but unexpectedly Lu Zhili ran out from somewhere with a sword in his hand, and ran straight towards him with the determination to die!

In order to protect Su He's safety, Lu Huaihe could only hand her over to Su Ling and Qing Yun, and turned around to fight with Lu Zhili.

He was a scholar who didn't even know how to do fancy moves, so he was easily subdued.

Just as Lu Huaihe captured him, he heard Pei Xia's sharp shout from behind: "Young Madam, be careful!"

Lu Yanxiu held a torch in his hand and even held Su He in his arms!

Lu Huaihe subconsciously moved forward, but was warned by Lu Yanxiu. Seeing that the torch was about to fall, he could only hold back and not take action.

"Brother! Burn them to death! Burn them all to death!"

"Yun Qing is dead, and so is Grandma. We have nothing left!"

"Let them all be buried with us! Set them on fire!"

Lu Zhili lay on the ground and screamed madly.

Lu Yanxiu's heart was pounding. As long as he dropped his hands on the ground, fire would ignite all around him.

Not only him, not only Su He, everyone in the courtyard will go to see the King of Hell!

But he didn't want Su He to die, nor did he want the fetus in her belly to die. He wanted to live a good life with Su He!

Seeing Lu Yanxiu's hesitation, Lu Zhili shouted in despair: "Don't you forget who harmed us like this? Everyone in the Su family deserves to die!"

There was a struggle in Lu Yanxiu's eyes, so much so that he couldn't even tell what was happening before his eyes.

"Lu Yanxiu."

Su He in her arms called her softly.

The calm and cold voice was a stark contrast to Lu Zhili's madness.

"You know, I've already died once."

"In the last life, you also killed me, but you were the winner then."

"But now, it's different."

Lu Yanxiu didn't understand what she said. He knew nothing about past lives or present lives.

"What's the difference?"

Su He glanced sideways, and suddenly threw a handful of watercolor at his face from her sleeves.

"Ah, what did you spread?"

Lu Yanxiu subconsciously let go of her and reached out to cover his eyes. Lu Huaihe took advantage of his inattention, flew forward and hugged Su He out by the waist.

Lu Yanxiu couldn't see clearly at all. When he realized he was being tricked, he became furious and pretended to throw away the torch.

"Lu Yanxiu! There is something I want to tell you."

Su He, standing on the steps of the mansion gate, sneered and said coldly: "You used to think about Ji'er all the time, do you know whose flesh and blood he is?"

Lu Yanxiu's body trembled.

Liu Qiuqiu had brought him an irreparable blow! Ji'er was even more of a headache for him!

"In the second alley outside the Lu Mansion, there lives a homeless man with a disability. Have you seen his face with your own eyes? He looks a lot like your Ji'er."

"Ahhh! You're talking nonsense!"

The fact that Liu Qiuqiu did something that was against women's ethics and also alienated him and Ah He had long been a thorn in his heart that he could not speak of.

But Su He mentioned it in front of so many people, and Lu Yanxiu couldn't bear it anymore. He burst into screaming and threw the torch heavily towards the source of the sound!

Lu Huaihe turned around while holding Su He, and kicked the flying torch sideways. Star-like fire spots instantly fell from the sky.

In just a moment, the fire in the yard suddenly broke out.

Lu Huaihe and Su He quickly retreated to a safe area outside the mansion, and Su Ling also brought Lianxin and Guo Fei out.

"Pei Xia? Where's Pei Xia?" Su He didn't see her and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"The servant is here!"

As the fire was raging, Qingyun ran out quickly holding Pei Xia. Sparks splashed on his body a few times, but fortunately he was not hurt.

Everyone was safe and Su He breathed a sigh of relief.

The screams of Lu Yanxiu and Lu Zhili were heard through the gate of the mansion.

The flames were raging and there was no possibility of survival.

Su Ling looked at the dazzling scene and sighed.

A pungent and unpleasant smell gradually wafted into the air. Su He turned away and coughed for a long time. Lu Huaihe did not stay here and found a carriage to take her back to the farm.

"Ah He, do you have anything you want to ask me?"

Inside the room, a gentle breeze blew in from the window. Lu Huaihe massaged the instep of her feet with gentle and moderate force, which made Su He feel a little unreal.

"What do you want me to ask? Those rumors outside?" She lowered her eyes.

"I have nothing to do with Madam Guo as the rumors say. I was too impatient and wanted to bring her back to the capital to testify for Concubine Rong and Prince Jin, but the groom saw me and reported me, so Guo Fei plotted to harm me."

Su He raised his eyes and noticed that there was a thin but not very obvious scar on the corner of his eyebrow, which was probably caused by accidental scratch when he fell from the reservoir.

She stretched out her hand and placed it on the back of Lu Huaihe's hand, saying distressedly: "I have never disbelieved you."

The moment she heard the rumor, she denied its authenticity.

Now that they have finally reunited, she just wants to live a peaceful life and not think about those unfounded things.

After cleaning up the mess at the Guo Mansion, Su Ling found the charred bodies of the brothers Lu Yanxiu and Lu Zhili.

"Guo Fei said that it was the Lu brothers who approached him. It was their idea to push Lu Huaihe into the reservoir. Their main purpose was to take Ah He away."

That was naturally Lu Yanxiu's idea.

Su He asked: "Where is Guo Fei?"

"I have sent someone to look after him. He will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

Su He was a little worried: "Guo Jie is guarding outside the palace. If we escort Guo Fei back with great fanfare, I'm afraid he will make a scene..."

"Guo Fei's crimes are so heinous that it is not too much to skin him alive. If Guo Jie starts to make a scene, that will be exactly what we want."

Hearing Lu Huaihe say this, Su He thought of Lianxin. With her going back with him to testify, Guo Jie really wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

The trip to Yanzhou ended in a hurry.

After a month's journey, Lu Huaihe and Su He finally returned to the capital.

Zhaoyang was waiting outside the city to greet him personally. When he saw Lu Huaihe, he felt a little relieved to see that he had all his arms, legs and feet intact.

There was still earnestness in his eyes, and he was not completely relieved until he saw Su He slowly getting off the carriage.

"Ah He, are you okay? Are you hungry on the way? Have you been wronged?"

Zhaoyang, who has always been noble and strong, showed his gentle side in front of everyone for the first time.

Su He was a little uncomfortable with this. She knew that she had been away from Beijing for so long and had too many worries, so she patiently explained everything one by one.

Lu Huaihe said silently: "Mother, I'm still here."

"Go, go, Ah He, now is the most important thing! Come back home with me."

The eldest princess's mansion.

Nanny Tang had already asked the kitchen to prepare delicious meals. Upon hearing the news that the two had returned safely, especially Su He, she carefully protected them at all times, fearing that anything might go wrong, which made Su He feel embarrassed.

The first thing Su Ling and Lu Huaihe did when they returned to Beijing was to go straight into the imperial city. When they met Guo Jie who was guarding the palace gate with his troops, the two sides were evenly matched and neither showed any sign of weakness.

Guo Fei, who was taken here, kept calling for help from Guo Jie.

"My Lords, are you going to the palace to meet His Majesty?"

Guo Jie, dressed in armor and looking aggressive and ready to fight at any time, is over fifty years old, but he is energetic and speaks with confidence.

Lu Huaihe looked at him with dark eyes: "What is the meaning of General Guo guarding outside the city gate?"

"I am naturally worried about the safety of His Majesty. With so many people coming in and out of the palace, it is inevitable that there will be people who have bad intentions towards His Majesty. I will stay here and not let anyone in or out, which can fundamentally guarantee the safety of His Majesty."

Such shameless words were spoken with great righteousness.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be willing to let them go, Lu Huaihe decided that they had to go to the palace to meet the emperor!

"What if Lord Su and I were to force our way in?"

Guo Jie laughed, his eyes sparkling, "If you insist on forcing your way in, I will have no choice but to kill you two here and then apologize to His Majesty!"

"Who dares to touch them?"

A rapid sound of horse hooves came from far away,

Xianyin jumped down from his horse, raised the tiger talisman in his hand high, and said in a cold and empty voice: "The tiger talisman is in my hand. Soldiers, do you still want to listen to Guo Jie's orders?"
