Quick Wear: I'm Really Not a Scumbag

"Master! Something terrible has happened. The library is on fire!" The guard came in anxiously to report.

Qin Shu intervened, "Why are you so flustered? Don't disturb the young master!"

The guard paused, but the panic on his face was hard to miss. "The Second Young Lady specifically asked me to come here to report to my son-in-law. The fire in the library is truly enormous, but for some reason the island seems deserted today, and there are few people who can help put out the fire."

When Qinshu heard that it was the Second Young Lady, disdain immediately appeared on her face. "Young Master already knew what was going to happen today. The staff has already been transferred elsewhere. Once the matter is over, they will naturally send someone to put out the fire."

The guard was still very anxious. "This fire is different from the past. It has now burned into the library. In addition, there is a south wind today, and the fire is getting bigger and bigger. We really can't wait. If the young master was on the island, he would definitely not sit idly by."

"You are so bold! The young master has already ordered that if he has to leave the island for something, all matters on the island will be decided by our young master. How dare you disobey the young master's order?!" Qin Shu was really disgusted with these servants around Yan Chaomu. None of them had any rules at all.

She is a daughter of the Yan family. Isn't she just relying on her good background?

She usually relies on her status as the young master's wife to point fingers at the two of them without considering whether she is worthy or not. The young master is unwilling to sleep with her, and she doesn't even think about how she gets the qualifications to be so arrogant.

"But, the second lady said."

Qinshu closed the gate and walked into the yard with his head held high.

Walk through the corridor.

Rong Zhao asked, "Who's making the noise outside?"

Zhihua covered the incense burner and said, "I'm afraid they are Madam's people. Others wouldn't dare to be so rude."

Although her face didn't show the same disdain as Qinshu's, there wasn't a trace of respect in her eyes.

Qinshu nodded, "Of course it's the servants around the Madam."

"It's just as you said, young master. They've set the library on fire. There are only a few people left to put out the fire, and Madam is anxious for you to go put it out."

"You are too soft-hearted. Didn't you tell her about my arrangements?" Rong Zhao frowned.

The smile on Qinshu's lips instantly faded. She quickly thought of an excuse, "Madam has a reckless personality. I figured she probably couldn't keep it to herself and might even get flustered and cause us trouble, so I didn't explain."

Rong Zhao nodded, "Okay, I'll explain it to her later."

Although they have different personalities, Yan Chaomu is still his wife, there is no doubt about that. As for feelings, they can be cultivated slowly in the future. He does not hate Yan Chaomu as much as others imagine.

——Outside the prison

"What should I do if they don't fall for it?" Wang Yue was a little undecided.

Chen Xuyan smiled and said, "Since you have already stuffed the pill into my uncle's mouth yesterday, I believe he will be able to hold on for a while longer. As for whether he has been fooled or not, we are not going to take action immediately, so why panic?

It's not like I've come here in vain. Isn't the Yan family's library known for housing all the books in the world, the most coveted place for scholars everywhere? Let's see if the destruction of this three hundred years of heritage will have any impact on the Yan family."

He was not trying to use the library as an excuse to break out of prison, he was trying to make the culprit who caused Liu Xun to fall out of favor.

"Then what should we do?" If it was just to burn the library, Chen Xuyan would probably not let him gather so many people.

Chen Xu pointed to the top of the library loft and said, "Please steal all the books from that floor. They're all busy putting out the fire on the other side right now. I'm sure this won't be a difficult task for you."

The inheritance of literature and art cannot be underestimated. Jiang Xuan needs these things to establish his country.

"Okay, this is not a difficult task for us. The books on the roof are all rare ancient books or unique copies. There are not many of them, but they are of great significance." Wang Yue, who has followed Liu Xun for many years, is naturally not a fool. He guessed Chen Xuyan's intention.

The library was not valued by the current head of the family, so there were not many guards. In recent years, the current head of the family, Yan Chaowen's uncle Yan Guiyuan, had even stopped collecting ancient books, which also made the Yan family lose many counselors.

I was also amazed in my heart, how could he be so scheming at his age.

"Someone will pick you up at the old place." Chen Xuyan handed the homemade 'telescope' to Wang Yue.

"Here, perhaps you can use it."

——Outside the library

Yan Chaomu changed into light clothes and went to put out the fire himself.

"Second Miss." The guard looked a little embarrassed.

Yan Chaomu could naturally see that he was being prevaricated, "He refuses to send anyone?"

The guard nodded. "Yes, the maidservant beside the son-in-law, Qinshu, didn't even let me into the courtyard. She just said that the young master already knew about it and the staff had been sent elsewhere."

"Go and send a message to Guo Youting who is with my brother, asking him to send some people back." There seemed to be tears in Yan Chaomu's eyes. She turned her head and calmed down for a while.

When she turned around, she hurried out of the yard with the bucket of water.

How can human power match the power of wind?

The library is located in the middle of the island. Even though the island is next to the water, it is still a drop in the bucket due to lack of manpower.

Yan Chaomu watched the fire grow bigger and bigger in despair, and finally walked towards Jinxiu Garden resolutely.

Most of the people in the Yan family went to the clan land to offer sacrifices and pray for rain, and even her brother was no exception. Now she couldn't even find a minor official to use, nor could she find the counselor around her brother. Women in the Yan family were not allowed to interfere in family affairs.

She could only ask Rong Zhao to send people to put out the fire.

—Jinxiuyuan

This time, it was Qinshu who opened the door again. She looked at Yan Chaomu, who was covered in some dirt, and was about to say something sarcastic, but Yan Chaomu pushed her to the ground.

"What are you going to do? Forcing your way in will only make the young master hate you even more!" Qinshu shouted unwillingly from behind.

Rong Zhao's disgust? She used to care about it, but now, she no longer cares about it.

Yan Chaomu had no intention of turning back, and the guards in the garden didn't dare to stop him. They were all members of the Yan family, and naturally put the Yan family first. Rong Zhao allowed his two maids to bully the Second Young Lady like this. If the Young Master were to investigate, they would probably be dead.

Before Rong Zhao married the second young lady, he was at best a counselor with a little say beside the young master. He was far inferior to Liu Xun and Guo Youting. It was only after he became a member of the Yan family that he achieved his current status. He is now so disrespectful to the second young lady that he will be liquidated sooner or later.

Even though the second young lady has never been well-known in the Yan family, she is still the second young lady of the Yan family. The head of the family's children are gone, and now the only legitimate descendants of the Yan family are her and the eldest young master. Her status is naturally self-evident.

Two servants swiftly blocked Qinshu's way.

"You lowly servants! How dare you block my way? Get away from me now!" Qinshu shouted harshly.

"We are lowly? Are you not lowly? You are just a lowly maidservant beside the second uncle. Do you really think yourself the master? We have seen how you and that Zhihua bully the second young lady. Just wait and see. When the head of the family and the young master investigate, I don't know if you will still be alive." They are the servants of the Yan family, not Rong Zhao's servants, and certainly not the servants of this little maidservant.

The little maidservant, who is not even a concubine, usually spends more than her share on food, clothing and other expenses. She has been spoiled.

Qin Shu was dazed for a moment, but soon regained his composure, "Just wait for the Master to deal with you!"

"Rong Zhao!" Yan Chaomu had rarely been to Jinxiu Garden, so he had no idea where Rong Zhao usually stayed in the courtyard.

Rong Zhao in the room paused writing, and for a moment he thought he had misheard.

Zhihua frowned and said, "Madam, how could she be so reckless? How dare she trespass into Jinxiu Garden? Sir, I will have her removed right away."

"Forget it, I'll go out and see what she wants." Rong Zhao put down his pen.

Zhihua stomped her feet behind him, blaming Qinshu in her heart for not stopping her.

"Rong Zhao?" Yan Chaomu shouted blankly in the yard.

Rong Zhao, dressed in white and with a handsome face, appeared in the courtyard at some point.

"What do you want from me?"

Yan Chaomu suppressed the turmoil in his heart and walked over. "The library is on fire. Furthermore, the wind is blowing from the south today. A quarter of the library is already burned. If we don't send people to put out the fire, the entire library will soon be burned down!"

Rong Zhao was a little surprised, "The fire is so big?"

He looked at Qin Shu who was running behind him and asked, "The fire was so big, why didn't you come and report it?"

"I, I." Qin Shu hesitated. Of course, he couldn't admit that it was because of his selfish motives that he didn't want Yan Chaomu to attract his attention.

Yan Chaomu snorted coldly and left quickly.

"Ru, Yan Chaomu." Rong Zhao called out, but Yan Chaomu showed no intention of turning back.

She had completely given up on Rong Zhao a long time ago.

......

On board

"The island is on fire?" Yan Chaomu frowned.

Guo Youting nodded. "The Second Young Miss sent a message half an hour ago saying that the library was on fire and asked me to send people back to put out the fire immediately. Although the wind is strong today, the fire shouldn't be this big, right?"

It seems that half of the library has been burned down.

"Could they be attacked? But we didn't receive any signal of an attack. The inspection before entering the island was quite strict, so it doesn't look like any foreign enemy has entered."

Yan Chaowen no longer had much patience to listen any further, so he said, "Speed ​​up and row towards the island."

Soon, a cargo ship sailed out from the island.

Yan Chaowen asked, "Is there a ship out delivering goods today?"

The draft of the ship looked a little off, which made him suspicious.

The short-haired man beside Guo Youting recalled for a moment, "There is indeed a ship at this time. I will send someone over to ask for the password."

After a while, the short man came back in his small boat. "The cargo is fine, and the people are fine too. The cargo from half a decade ago wasn't shipped out yet, so we had to add it to the ship that's leaving today."

"Yeah." Yan Chaowen's doubts were completely dispelled.

No one noticed the man's expression after he lowered his head, or his hand that was secretly retracted into his sleeve.

——Outside the library

"It's burned out." Yan Chaomu cried helplessly.

Rong Zhao, who was beside her, also felt a little guilty. He handed her his handkerchief and said, "It's indeed my fault."

"I will definitely punish the maidservant beside me."

Yan Chaomu fiercely shook off his hand, "Punishment? This is the hard work of my Yan family for three hundred years, and it's negated by just a punishment from your maid? This is what my parents exchanged their lives for!"

"You not only despise me! You despise our Yan family?!"

Rong Zhao stammered, and finally dropped his hand helplessly.

"Second Miss, the young master is back."

Yan Chaomu followed him out of the library in a threatening manner.

Qinshu and Zhihua then began to panic.

——Outside the dungeon

"Almost all the guards hiding in the dungeon have gone to put out the fire!" Finally, this moment has come. Lin Zengjie has been waiting for it for a long time.

"Go, we'll pick you up here." Chen Xuyan confirmed the current situation again.

After receiving the signal, Wang Yue quickly rushed into the dungeon with his men, while Li Wentao and his men met him at the dungeon door.

Liu Xun, who was caught off guard and held up, thought that his death was approaching, but unexpectedly, a familiar voice came to his ears.

"Brother! We are here to save you?!" Wang Yue picked up his clothes, wrapped him tightly and carried him on his shoulders.

The brothers beside him also started fighting.

The guards in the dungeon, who had just taken a break, had begun to slack off. No one expected that they would come to rescue people at this time.

"Quick! Ring the bell to send a message!"

A loud voice echoed across the island.

Wang Yue hadn't expected the Yan family to have such a backup plan. "Retreat!"

All the members of the Yan family have landed on the island one after another, and the staff from the library are also rushing here. The situation is worse than they imagined.

"Hurry up, take the small road! The boat is behind!" Li Wentao was relieved to see them coming out.

The group fought as they ran.

Yan Guiyuan's face turned extremely ugly when he heard the news.

"What? The book was stolen? The person was kidnapped too? What a bunch of good-for-nothings! Hurry and give chase!"

Yan Chaowen's expression turned even uglier. "Where's the person I sent to investigate?"

"He, he ran away with Wang Yue's men. Wang Yue defected after saving Liu Xun." Guo Youting wiped the sweat from his head nervously.

Yan Chaowen drew his sword and said, "I will chase him myself."

--shore

Chen Shaoqi, who was standing on the shore, saw from a high place the danger that Chen Xuyan and the others were in.

"Hurry over and meet them. Don't wait on the shore. It's too far. Wei Siqi and I will cover you!"

"Okay." Chen Zhao couldn't hold back any longer.

-In the water

"They are coming! Hold on!" Li Wentao was also injured.

Lin Zengjie saw the boats ahead and instantly became energized. "Damn it! I don't believe I'm going to die on this wreck!"

He suddenly rushed onto the boat behind and killed three people with a knife.

......

-It's night

Liu Xun only felt that there were many noises coming from his ears, as if they were being chased by someone, but he didn't know when the world became quiet again, the sound of the pursuers completely disappeared, and the familiar voices in his ears also disappeared.

Did they survive?

Who saved him?
