After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy
Chapter 15 Theory
They are all used to it and don't care.
But Xu Yun had always been straightforward and answered without hesitation, "The mansion has been flooded, and our yard has been burned. If we don't come out, do we have to wait for death in the mansion?"
Zheng's face darkened. Xu Yun's wife, Hu, glared at Xu Yun, then hurried forward to support Zheng's other arm and explain for Xu Yun.
"The Second Master just discovered that the house was on fire. He was worried about you, so he rushed over to see you. That's why he spoke so urgently. Mother, please don't take it personally. Now that we see that you are fine, we are relieved."
I couldn't help but blame Xu Yun for being too straightforward.
He didn't know that now was the time when the Marquis' Mansion was fighting for the title. He knew the importance of the Zheng family, but he didn't think before speaking. Did he really want to give the title to someone else?
Xu Yun felt guilty after being glared at by Hu, and quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, we are worried about your safety and afraid that you might be in danger, so we hurried here."
Third Master Xu Kun glanced at Yan Zheng's Shoukang Hall. The fire had died down. He frowned and said, "Mother, the fire in the yard isn't that big. It's the end of March, and the weather isn't dry. How could a fire suddenly catch in the mansion and burn down the entire mansion?"
As soon as Xu Kun finished speaking, Xu Rong said coldly, "What do you mean, Third Brother? Are you suspecting that Mother set the fire?"
Xu Kun curled his lips and didn't reply.
He indeed thought so in his heart. After all, he always knew that Zheng family looked down on them, the illegitimate sons. Now that Xu Rui was gone, Zheng family did not really want to leave the title of Marquis to them, so it was not impossible that they would do something to them secretly.
Natural disasters like floods can eliminate them without anyone noticing.
Xu Yun and Xu Xin both looked at Zheng in disbelief.
Could it be that Zheng really set the fire just to take their lives? Fear unconsciously flashed in his eyes.
Xu Rong couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"What do you think of mother? How will burning down the mansion benefit her? It was clearly my sister-in-law who started the fire."
"Sister-in-law?"
Several people showed puzzled expressions.
Why did Jiang Xiyu set fire?
"She's in the ancestral hall. If you don't believe me, let's go and ask her why she set the fire."
As he spoke, Xu Rong took the lead and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Xu Yun and others immediately followed.
When the group arrived at the ancestral hall, they found that the fire here seemed to be the biggest. The entire ancestral hall was burned to a hollow shell, but the fire did not weaken at all and was still burning fiercely.
When Zheng and Xu Rong saw the fire that was about to rise to the sky, they could not hide the joy in their eyes.
I didn’t expect the ancestral hall to be burned like this. Jiang Xiyu, who was locked in the ancestral hall, must have been burned to ashes.
"Where is my sister-in-law?"
"She's not in the ancestral hall, is she?"
Xu Yun and the others looked at the fire with excitement on their faces.
Could he really have been burned to death?
If Jiang Xiyu died, Xu Rui's lineage would be completely without descendants, and the Marquisate would definitely belong to them, and it would depend on who had the ability to get it.
"Is everyone looking for me?"
When everyone was happy that Jiang Xiyu was burned to death, a cold voice suddenly came from behind them.
Everyone turned around and saw Jiang Xiyu wearing a white dress with her hair loose like a ghost. The firelight shone on her body. Everyone turned pale with fear, and the timid ones collapsed to the ground.
"Ah, a ghost." He was so scared that he fell to the ground.
"Ah." Sun hid behind Xu Kun, her hands tightly grasping the sleeves of her husband Xu Kun.
Xu Rong was also frightened and hugged Zheng, but after seeing Qing'er and the old Yu couple behind Jiang Xiyu, she knew that she was not a ghost.
Push Zheng away.
"Mother, Jiang Xiyu is not dead yet. She is not a ghost."
Hearing this, Zheng, who had kept her eyes closed, opened them and looked at the ground. When she saw a shadow, her rapidly beating heart slowly returned to normal.
"Jiang Xiyu, you are not dead?" Zheng still couldn't believe it.
Jiang Xiyu raised her head and looked over, staring at Zheng with cold eyes, "What do you mean, mother? How could I die out of nowhere?"
"Shouldn't you be in the ancestral hall?" Jiang Xiyu's eyes were too sharp, and Zheng was frightened by her and began to speak incoherently.
"The fire in the ancestral hall was so big. My mother wanted me to be inside. Could it be that she set the fire in the ancestral hall just to kill me?"
As soon as Jiang Xiyu said this, Xu Yun and the others looked back and forth at Jiang Xiyu and Zheng in confusion.
Who set this fire?
Their suspicious looks made Zheng's heart leap into her throat. She stared at Jiang Xiyu anxiously, "You, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I have set the fire in the ancestral hall?"
"It wasn't mother who put it there?" Jiang Xiyu walked towards them step by step with a smile on her face, whispering, "Then why didn't mother seem very happy when she saw me alive?"
The sarcasm and mockery in Jiang Xiyu's eyes made Zheng feel even more guilty, and she explained hurriedly.
"How could that be? I was just worried about you. I asked you to reflect in the ancestral hall not long ago, but who would have thought that the hall would suddenly catch fire. Fortunately, you escaped, otherwise I would have been guilty of a great sin."
Zheng said this while clasping her hands together in a pretentious manner and bowing towards the east, "Amitabha, God bless you."
Jiang Xiyu sneered in his heart and suddenly raised his voice.
"To be honest, it was really God's blessing that I was spared. After Mother Li brought me to the ancestral hall, she locked the door with an iron chain. Then someone poured tung oil all over the outside, and then the ancestral hall caught fire. If Qing'er hadn't brought my companion here, I might have died in the ancestral hall today."
As soon as Jiang Xiyu finished speaking, everyone showed surprised expressions.
"Someone poured tung oil outside the ancestral hall. This is arson!"
"And locking the door is clearly a threat to my sister-in-law's life."
"Who is so cruel to do such a thing?"
Although they expressed their doubts, their eyes all turned to Zheng.
"If mother hadn't explained it just now, I would have thought that it was mother who instructed Mother Li to burn me to death in this ancestral hall?" Jiang Xiyu said lightly.
Zheng's face turned pale, and she clenched the beads tightly in her hand. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out for a long time.
Xu Rong, who was standing nearby, stood up and shouted angrily, "Jiang Xiyu, what are you talking about? Mother is a vegetarian and a Buddhist. How could she possibly do such a vicious thing? I don't think you set this up to frame her, are you?"
