After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms
Chapter 2 Catch the adulterer
"Oh my god, there's a fire!"
"Come and put out the fire—"
The thick smoke rising into the sky finally alarmed the guests in front.
When Marquis Wu'an and his men arrived at the inner courtyard, they saw the entire study engulfed in flames. He immediately exclaimed, "Quick, quick, put out the fire! All the books I've collected over the years are in there..."
Madam Li, the Marquis' wife, said in a panic, "How could there be a fire? Where's the Crown Prince? Go and see if he's okay!"
The servants hurried to put out the fire.
The nanny beside Li came hurriedly to report: "Madam, the prince is missing."
"what?"
Li was bewildered and said, "Isn't Nan'er in the new house? Why is she gone? Yan Qing, that—"
Yan Qing's figure suddenly appeared in Li's sight.
The entire courtyard was filled with smoke and fire, and everyone was in a panic. Only Yan Qing, wearing a bright red wedding gown, sat in the middle of the yard like a clay Buddha, without any reaction.
Li came forward with a sullen look on her face: "What are you doing here instead of staying in your new house?"
She originally had nothing to say about her son's new bride. She was the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and her grandfather was a general who had served three dynasties. In terms of status, she was worthy of her Nan'er.
The strange thing is that before the marriage, this woman actually made her son make three rules: he was not allowed to take a concubine for the rest of his life!
What man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Yan Qing is so jealous, this is to cut off the incense of their mansion!
But his son insisted on marrying her.
Li reached out and pushed Yan Qing: "Don't get in the way here, go see where my son is."
Yan Qing moved aside and calmly sat on the rose chair: "Mother-in-law, I am waiting for my husband here."
Li was stunned by the distant attitude.
When did Yan Qing dare to show displeasure to her?
But she quickly shook off the strange feeling. Li looked around and frowned, "You said you were waiting for Jiaonan here? Why don't I see him? Where is he?"
"Here——"
Yan Qing raised his head slowly and signaled with his eyes.
Li followed her gaze and saw the burning study and thick smoke filling the yard.
Li was stunned.
Then cries for help were heard coming from the fire.
"My Lord, there seems to be someone!"
"It's the prince! The prince is in the study!"
Lu Qiaonan's servant recognized his master's voice and stepped forward anxiously: "My Lord, it's the Crown Prince! He's in the study!"
Wu Anhou was also stunned, and then he became furious: "What are you waiting for? Save them!"
Li finally reacted and rushed forward crying, "Nan'er! My Nan'er! Mother is here to save you..."
"Ma'am, ma'am!"
Marquis Wu'an quickly hugged Li and advised, "Don't be impulsive. I will definitely rescue Nan'er!"
"Hurry up and save the prince!"
After pacifying Li, Marquis Wu'an issued a cold order: "If anything happens to the Crown Prince, I will not forgive you!"
The servants rushed to rescue him.
However, the fire in the study was raging, and the door had already been engulfed in flames. Someone took a quilt and poured water on it, trying to rush in, but was knocked back by the scorching heat wave after taking just two steps forward.
"No, the fire is too big, we can't get in!"
"Prince! Prince, can you hear me?"
"What should I do? If I don't come out now, I might..."
Everyone was in a panic. If they didn't go in to rescue him, they were afraid that Lu Qiaonan would die in there.
Even the guests who came to the banquet became anxious.
"Nan'er! My Nan'er..."
Seeing that no one dared to rush into the fire to save him, Li cried out loudly: "What are you still standing there for? I order you to go and save my son!"
However, even the servants in the Marquis' Mansion did not dare to rush to their death.
Marquis Wu'an's face turned pale. Li took advantage of his inattention to break free from his arms and rushed to the study regardless of anything.
"lady--"
Li rushed to the corridor without hesitation, and just then a cluster of sparks exploded from the wood chips and splashed on her head.
"Ah! Fire! Fire!"
Li was so frightened that she covered her head and screamed. As a result, she accidentally stepped on the bucket and fell to the ground with a thud.
When the cold water poured on her body, Li realized that she was not on fire. She sat on the ground in embarrassment, and the scorching waves burned her cheeks.
"lady……"
The maid came forward and helped her up.
Li shed silent tears. She didn't want to leave, but she didn't dare to rush in and shout to save people.
"My son..."
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of Yan Qing's face.
Among the many anxious and flustered expressions, Yan Qing's calm and indifferent face was very annoying.
Li was furious.
Her husband was trapped in the fire, and she wasn't sad at all?
Li pushed the maid aside and rushed to Yan Qing.
"You, go save Nan'er!"
Li pointed at Yan Qing and ordered, "Now that you've married into the Marquis's mansion, you and Nan'er share our prosperity and our suffering. If you don't want to be a widow, go in and rescue Nan'er now!"
"You are sending the young lady to her death!"
Unexpectedly, Lvzhi, whose face turned pale with fear after today's incident, suddenly rushed out angrily and protected Yan Qing tightly like an old hen protecting her chicks.
He seemed ready to fight to the death with Li.
Li was trembling with anger. "Yan Qing is now Nan'er's wife. When her husband is in trouble, she, as a wife, should share his hardships. Come, pull this bitch away, cover the Crown Prince's wife with a wet quilt, and send her inside!"
Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion stepped forward immediately.
Qingluan also stood in front of Yan Qing and said with a cold face: "Our young lady is General Ye's granddaughter. Who dares to touch her!"
"It's the opposite!"
Seeing that the servants were frightened, Li personally grabbed Yan Qing and said, "Yan Qing, if you recognize me as your mother-in-law, go and rescue Nan'er now, otherwise..."
"There is no future, mother-in-law."
Yan Qing came out from behind the two maids and looked at Li with a sad expression: "It's not that I don't want to save my husband, but he is not the only one in the study. If I go in, I really don't know who to save."
Her words were as clear as pearls falling on a plate.
All the guests and everyone in the Marquis's Mansion heard it clearly.
Everyone was stunned. Then someone listened for a while and said in surprise, "It seems there really is another person. Is she... a woman?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a bang, and the study window was suddenly knocked open, and two figures landed in the yard.
"Nan'er!"
Li immediately stopped caring about Yan Qing.
The guests also came forward to check it out.
But Lu Qiaonan was seen kneeling on the ground in a mess, wearing only thin inner clothes and covered with a quilt.
"Son, you finally—"
Seeing her son coming out of the fire, Li was so excited that she wanted to hug Lu Qiaonan and cry bitterly, but suddenly a head popped out of Lu Qiaonan's arms.
When the head saw Li and the others, it shrank into Lu Qiaonan's arms again.
Then the sound of a woman crying was heard.
Li was stunned: "?"
The guests were also confused: "???"
Is it Prince Lu’s wedding today?
They were all here to drink in Prince Lu's wedding wine, right? But now the bride was standing next to them, and the sound of a woman crying could be heard in Prince Lu's arms?
Looking again, they saw both of them escaping from the study in disheveled clothes. Everyone seemed to have smelled some gossip and looked at Wu An Hou and Li with secretive expressions.
Then, he looked at Yan Qing with sympathy.
