Suddenly, her waist felt tight, and a big hand led her away from the wooden board.

The beam that burned into two pieces fell to the ground, sending out countless sparks. Jiang Xiyu just wanted to cover it, but the person in front of her stepped sideways to block the sparks for her.

Jiang Xiyu stared at the man in front of her in a daze. The man was dressed in black brocade clothes and had a half silver mask on his face, with a pair of eyes exposed on the upper part and a mouth on the lower part. His appearance was completely unrecognizable.

Judging from the outline of her face, she shouldn't be ugly.

Who is this person and why did he save her?

Following the outline, I saw the teeth marks on the man's neck, which looked familiar.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiyu opened her eyes wide, "You are..."

Gulin saw that she was staring at his neck and knew that he was exposed, so he turned away in panic.

Jiang Xiyu grabbed his wrist and said, "It's you. Who are you and what do you want to do?"

That day in the hot spring, everything happened very suddenly. They should not have known each other's figures, but this man found the Yonglin Marquis Mansion just two days later, and it was obvious that he already knew her identity.

What is his purpose?

Jiang Xiyu raised her hand to see who this person was. Gulin subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xiyu's hand and turned her backwards.

Smelling the fragrance coming from her body and thinking of what happened in the hot spring that night, Gulin couldn't help but move closer. Feeling the man's breath, Jiang Xiyu's body suddenly stiffened.

Except for the night when he hugged her in the hot spring, she had never been so close to that man.

Jiang Xiyu reacted and struggled. Just when she was about to scold him, Qing'er's anxious voice came from the door, "Madam, Madam, are you in there?"

Hearing Qing'er calling her outside, Jiang Xiyu was overjoyed and said in a hoarse voice, "Qing'er, I'm here."

Knowing that Jiang Xiyu was inside and could still speak, she felt relieved and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Madam. I will come to you right away."

After saying that, he turned and ordered the people beside him, "Hurry up and break the door open and rescue the lady."

Then there was the sound of banging locks and banging doors outside.

Gulin was stunned for a moment, then let go of Jiang Xiyu and jumped. The moment Jiang Xiyu turned around, he saw Gulin like a monkey, and then the object quickly came to the hole in the roof and disappeared from his sight.

After continuous banging by people outside the door, the door of the ancestral hall was finally knocked open.

"lady."

Qing'er stood outside the door. Seeing Jiang Xiyu surrounded by flames in the center of the ancestral hall, she subconsciously rushed in, but was grabbed by the wrist by Yu Pozi beside her. "There's so much going on in there. You can't save Madam even if you go in."

"Let me go, I want to go in and save my lady." Qing'er had lost her mind and struggled to rush into the fire.

Seeing that Mrs. Yu couldn't hold her back, Jiang Xiyu's voice came from inside, "Qing'er, don't be impulsive. Listen to me. Now go find a quilt, soak it and throw it in, then I can get out safely."

Hearing this, Qing'er was overjoyed and calmed down. She told them, "Go get some water, and I'll go find some quilts."

"Yes." Old Yu and Mrs. Yu hurried to find water.

After Qing'er brought the quilt, Lao Yu and Mrs. Yu also fetched water. After the three of them soaked the quilt, Lao Yu used all his strength to hold the quilt on his head and rushed into the fire.

Jiang Xiyu inside felt like she was about to burn to death. When she saw Lao Yu coming in, she immediately went out from the other side.

"Ma'am, are you okay?"

Qing'er took her hand and looked her up and down. She found that she had no injuries on her body, only her clothes were slightly blackened. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm glad you're okay. I was really scared to death."

After Jiang Xiyu left, Qing'er felt uneasy and walked around in the yard. After a while, she saw a fire in the ancestral hall. Thinking that Jiang Xiyu had been to the ancestral hall not long ago, she quickly called Old Yu and Mrs. Yu to see what was going on.

But she didn't expect that Jiang Xiyu was actually inside. She was scared to think that if she hadn't come, Jiang Xiyu might have died in the fire.

Noticing Qing'er's body shaking, Jiang Xiyu knew that she was worried about him and was afraid, so he patted her hand to comfort her, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Qing'er's tears suddenly fell and she burst into tears.

Jiang Xiyu hugged her with a smile on his face and let her cry.

Seeing the fire growing bigger and bigger, Old Yu said anxiously, "Madam, I will go find other people to put out the fire."

It's such a big thing that they definitely can't finish it by themselves.

"Don't go." Jiang Xiyu said coldly to stop him.

Old Yu and Mrs. Yu both looked at Jiang Xiyu with confusion.

If the fire is not put out, it will burn up in no time.

Qing'er pushed Jiang Xiyu away slightly and wiped the tears from her eyes.

Thinking back to when they arrived just now, they saw that the door of the ancestral hall was still locked. It seemed that someone deliberately wanted to lock Jiang Xiyu in the ancestral hall, which was clearly an attempt to harm Jiang Xiyu.

"Let's just listen to Madam. Those people want to harm Madam, and no one will come to put out the fire." Qing'er said.

Old Yu and Mrs. Yu were shocked.

Thinking back on what they had just seen, it seemed similar to what Qing'er said, but they still couldn't believe it.

Old Yu and Mrs. Yu were Jiang Xiyu's dowry from the General's Mansion to the Yonglin Marquis Mansion, so Jiang Xiyu trusted them.

"It was the old lady who asked me to come to the ancestral hall to see her, but there was no one there. They locked the door after I entered, poured tung oil on it and set it on fire, intending to burn me to death."

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked.

"So it's the old lady who wants to harm you?"

Mother Li is Zheng's capable mother. If it weren't for Zheng's order, they would not be so bold as to do such a thing to the mistress of Yonglin Marquis' Mansion.

Also, the fire had been burning for such a long time, and she had just seen the flames in the remote Taolin Garden. It was impossible for the Yonglin Marquis Mansion not to know about it, but none of those people showed up. They must have been instructed by the Zheng family.

"But why would the old lady want to harm you?" Qing'er was a little confused.

In the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Xiyu not only donated all her dowry to the Marquis' family, but was also filial and respectful to Zheng. What was Zheng's purpose in doing this?

Jiang Xiyu did not tell Qing'er about what happened in Lanruo Temple yesterday. Firstly, the matter was resolved and she did not want Qing'er to worry about her. Secondly, she believed in Qing'er's loyalty to her, but this matter also concerned her reputation, and it seemed that it could not be concealed now.

After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Xiyu told the three of them everything that happened in Lanruo Temple.

After hearing this, the three of them opened their mouths wide in surprise, looking completely incredulous.

After a few seconds, Lao Yu was shaking with anger.

"Those people are truly too cruel. How could they plot against you like this, Madam?"
