Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 418: The Downtrodden Daughter Goes Crazy After Rebirth (23)

When Father Ruan heard this, he became inexplicably nervous. Thinking that Wen Niang was also in Baiyun Temple, he quickly lifted his robe and ran outside.

He didn't even have time to say more, he just said something to Chu Zhiyan.

"Zhi Yan, the fire is quite big. I'm worried that someone might be in trouble. I'll go help first. You wait here for me."

After saying that, Father Ruan ran away.

He muttered to himself, as if to give himself perseverance, Wen Niang, you can't be in trouble!

Father Ruan was filled with mixed emotions. He had waited ten years for this encounter. If Wen died, he didn't want to live in vain for the rest of his life.

If he doesn't have his beloved by his side, every day will feel like a year.

The Taoist temple was filled with people putting out the fire, and Ruan's father also joined the firefighters, helping out in various ways.

He originally wanted to rush in to put out the fire, but was stopped by someone who said there were no injured people inside and the Taoist priest had already evacuated all the trapped people.

After an unknown amount of time, the fire was finally extinguished.

Father Ruan then went to the evacuation point to look for Wen Niang. The fire was so big just now that he didn't know if Wen Niang was frightened.

However, he searched for a long time but could not find the whereabouts of Wen.

After all, the Wen family was not in the Taoist temple at all, and what happened today was just to lure the snake out of its hole.

Chu Zhiyan secretly peeked in and saw that Father Ruan looked dejected and had complicated emotions, so he said.

"Teacher, the arsonist has been apprehended, but these two men claim to be acquainted with you. The Taoist priest is very angry and would like you to come over. I don't know what's going on."

Father Ruan was so smart that he knew that the people in the Ruan family were not kind-hearted. Could it be that he killed Wen Niang because he wanted to take her back home?

If that were the case, he would sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice and send the person to jail.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

After an incense stick of time, Ruan's father met the Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple and two acquaintances, one of whom was his good niece Liu Yuyan, and the other was his biological sister Ruan Mengyun.

There was charcoal soot on their faces, and they looked dusty and dirty, as if they were trying to hide their appearance.

The Taoist priest's face turned pale, and he spoke to Ruan's father with some embarrassment.

"Master Ruan, we are not trying to embarrass you. These two are members of the Ruan family. Now they have actually burned down the Taoist temple and set fire to people. We at Baiyun Temple will never compromise. Please give us an explanation."

The Taoist priest's face turned pale. Baiyun Temple was originally a small Taoist temple. Who knows which immortal he had offended that the temple was almost destroyed.

These nobles in the court are really not to be messed with.

When Liu Yuyan saw Ruan's father, she hurriedly said, "Uncle, this old Taoist is clearly talking nonsense. You can't believe his nonsense. The arsonist was someone else, not me."

Ruan Mengyun was not so polite to Ruan's father. She was the eldest daughter of the Ruan family. From childhood to adulthood, she wanted to step on Ruan's father under her feet.

If Father Ruan was not capable and appreciated and valued by the emperor, she would not have tolerated Father Ruan.

"My second brother is still so ignorant. He still won't let us go. This is all a misunderstanding. Please don't hurt the relationship."

This is not only an unwillingness to admit guilt, but also an attempt to shirk responsibility.

The Taoist priest looked embarrassed. "In that case, for the sake of Censor Ruan, I will compensate for the burned area. As long as it is repaired, I will forgive you."

Liu Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief and went along with it.

"I wonder how much silver it will cost?"

The Taoist priest stretched out his two hands, but before he could say anything, Ruan Mengyun's expression softened.

"Two thousand taels? Never mind. It's just a small matter. I'll go to the Ruan Mansion to get the money later."

The Taoist priest shook his head, interrupting Ruan Mengyun's thoughts.

"No, it's twenty thousand taels of silver. Many rare antiques in the Taoist temple were burned, as well as some Taoist books. Those were the Heart Sutra that the Empress Dowager ordered us to copy. If this lady is unwilling to compensate, we will meet with the government."

Ruan Mengyun looked at Ruan's father in a scolding manner and said unhappily, "Why don't you pay me quickly and let me leave this damn place? If you can't even handle such a small matter, what use are you to me?"

Father Ruan narrowed his eyes. At this moment, he was very calm and said calmly.

"It's so late at night, why didn't Big Sister rest at Liu's house? Why did she come to the Taoist temple? And she brought Yuyan with her."

Ruan Mengyun had no idea that he was so difficult to deal with. She quickly made excuses to defend herself, but Ruan's father simply didn't listen.

"The arson today is a fact, but the person you want to kill is Wen Niang, right?"

There were some cracks on Ruan Mengyun's well-maintained face. Her blind brother actually noticed the problem. It seemed that he was not easy to fool.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Wen died ten years ago. Don't go crazy."

As he said this, he raised his hand as if to slap someone.

Chu Zhiyan kicked Ruan Mengyun to the ground.

"In that case, take him directly to Jingzhao Prefecture. Murder and arson are serious crimes. My people just found a lot of oil in the Liu family's carriage. It seems that the arson was intentional."

The Taoist priest said angrily, "Women are truly the most vicious! Baiyun Temple is not the place for you to settle your personal grudges. This matter must not be tolerated, otherwise people will think that our Baiyun Temple is easy to bully."

With the help of Chu Zhiyan and the Taoist priest, Liu Yuyan and Ruan Mengyun were taken to the government office and detained pending the trial of the case.

However, Ruan's father was kind enough to send someone to deliver a message to Liu's Mansion and the General's Mansion.

That night, most of the nobles in the capital knew about the absurd things done by Ruan's mother and daughter. Both of them were nobles from high-ranking families, yet they actually went to Baiyun Temple to do evil.

If it was an ordinary Taoist temple, it would be fine. However, the Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple saved the eldest princess. The empress dowager had visited the Taoist temple many times, and this incident alarmed her even more.

The Liu family was worried that the emperor would punish them, so they quickly used their connections to ask the second prince to rescue Ruan Mengyun.

Once you get to the backyard, how you deal with it is your own business and no one can interfere.

Mr. Ruan did not return to the mansion that night. He was taken by Chu Zhiyan to a secret two-story mansion. Although it was small, it was elegantly maintained.

"Zhiyan, why did you bring me here?"

Chu Zhiyan pointed to the place where the lights were on not far away, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Teacher, there's someone you want to see. Please don't blame me for not reporting what happened today. After all, I was just doing it on someone's behalf."

Father Ruan guessed something in his heart, especially when he saw Shi Qing walking out from the shadow of the lamp, his thoughts became more certain.

"Wen'er, could it be that you foresaw the future and took your mother away?"

Shi Qing was very pleased. His father was indeed a man of high intelligence. He was very smart and guessed it right away.

"Daddy, go ahead. Mom has been waiting for you. No one will disturb you here. You and Mom have both suffered through these ten years of separation and death."

Father Ruan usually walked briskly, but at this moment, he felt as if his feet were heavy and sluggish...

He pushed open the door, and just like the old days, Wen Niang was sitting at the wooden table, smiling and standing up to greet him.

"My husband, I hope you are well."

After many years of separation, the beauty's temples have turned white, but her appearance has not changed.

Father Ruan hugged his wife in his arms with tears in his eyes.

"Mother Wen, it's because your husband is late."
