Let's just drift through life together in this quick transmigration story.
Chapter 5 Hua Qing burned down the ancestral hall
Lin Lu had no concubines, so most of the time, Madam Lin and Lin Lu slept in each other's arms.
Therefore, if Madam Lin stayed up late one day, Lin Lu would send someone over.
Madam Lin said to the person sent by Lin Lu, "Go back and tell the master that I am with the eldest young lady today. Please let the master go to the study."
Lin Lanxi nudged Madam Lin, "Mother, you should go first, otherwise my father will get worried."
Madam Lin playfully tapped Lin Lanxi's forehead, "You should get some rest too."
Lin Lanxi and Hua Qing saw Madam Lin off at the door. Hua Qing remarked with emotion, "Master and Madam have such a good relationship."
"That's right. My parents are a loving couple, something many women in the capital can only envy. Take some men and find me some kerosene. I have a wonderful use for it. Remember not to let my mother and the others know."
Hua Qing: "Miss, what are you going to do with the kerosene?"
Lin Lanxi kicked Hua Qing, "Why are you making so many fuss? Go find it now."
"Yes." Hua Qing scrambled away.
Xiong Bufan was fast asleep in the ancestral hall when Kongkong shouted anxiously, "Bufan, get up quickly! Lin Lanxi is going to set you on fire!"
During the day, all he did was slap her, and she even hit herself first. Why didn't she just set herself on fire? Xiong Bufan jumped up, grabbed his food, and rushed to the door, only to find it locked from the outside.
Thick smoke was already billowing from the ancestral hall. Kongkong wished he could carry Lin Bufan out himself; if Xiong Bufan couldn't get out, he would die here. Kongkong quickly shouted, "Bufan, the window, the window!"
A large fire had already broken out on Xiong Bufan's window. If Xiong Bufan were to directly confront the window with his bare body, he would definitely be burned. So Xiong Bufan picked up the ancestral tablet and threw it forcefully at the window, hoping that his ancestors would bless Lin Lanzhi.
The window was smashed open, but Xiong Bufan's arm was also dislocated. Lin Lanzhi's small frame was still too weak; she got injured with just a little effort.
Ignoring his dislocated arm, Xiong Bufan threw the food out with his uninjured hand and jumped out as well.
The firelight reflected on Lin Lanxi's face, making her look sinister and terrifying. "Lin Lanzhi, let's see how you'll compete with me for Brother Jiang Yu now."
Xiong Bufan kicked Hua Qing aside, stood behind Lin Lanxi, and asked curiously, "Who is Lin Lanzhi? Didn't your father beat you for burning down the ancestral hall?"
Lin Lanxi turned around, "Lin, Lan, Zhi, how are you still alive?"
Xiong Bufan kicked Lin Lanxi into the ancestral hall, saying, "You're the one who's dead. I'm still alive and well." After saying that, he put his arm back on. Luckily, he was naughty when he was young and often got injured in fights. He learned bone setting from the old tree doctor, otherwise he would be crippled now.
Hua Qing, trembling, pointed a piece of firewood at Xiong Bufan and said, "I saw it. Lin Lanzhi, you put the young lady into the fire. Master and Madam will not let you get away with this."
I'm not afraid of you.
Xiong Bufan shouted at the top of his lungs, "Fire! Come and put out the fire!"
Hua Qing kicked the young lady into the fire! Help!
Immediately afterwards, Xiong Bufan ran around the entire mansion, passing through Fenglai Courtyard, Qingfeng Garden, and the courtyards where the maids and servants lived, successfully letting everyone know that the ancestral hall was on fire.
During this time, they saw some yellow and white things being placed in the food bag by Kongkong's instructions to Xiong Bufan. Although Xiong Bufan did not understand, he did as he was told, since Kongkong could not possibly harm him.
Hua Qing directed the people who came to put out the fire, "Quickly save the young lady, she's in the ancestral hall."
"Quickly put out the fire."
Hearing the shouts, Madam Lin and Lin Lu got out of bed and saw flames shooting into the sky from the direction of the ancestral hall. They rushed towards the ancestral hall.
Xiong Bufan, carrying his bag, had already run out of the Lin residence, only to be chased by patrolling men on the street. "Stop running!"
Kongkong: "Bufan, quickly shake them off and cover your face, otherwise you'll get a beating if they catch you."
"Why? I didn't fight, I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't commit arson."
"There is a curfew in this dynasty. If anyone is found wandering around the streets after midnight, they will be punished with forty strokes of the cane if caught. In short, you have to run fast."
There was a carriage in front, followed by many attendants. Xiong Bufan covered his face with a black cloth and weaved into the procession. Taking advantage of their inattention, he slipped into the carriage and came face to face with a gentle lady. The people outside the carriage tried to rush in to arrest Xiong Bufan. "Your Highness, how are you? Please allow us to capture him."
Kongkong: "Take her hostage, take her hostage now."
Xiong Bufan gripped the lady's neck with his hand, "Make them leave, and those under curfew, leave, or I'll bite you to death." He then turned to the people outside the carriage and said, "If you dare come in, I'll bite your princess to death."
The princess looked at Xiong Bufan and said to those outside, "Everyone, step back. This is an old friend who has come to reminisce."
"Are you really alright? If anything happens to you, the Prince and the young master will blame us."
The princess's gentle tone was firm: "It's nothing, all of you may leave."
"Yes."
The curfew inspectors caught up with the carriage, and the leader stopped it, asking, "May I ask if Your Highness has seen any suspicious persons?"
Before the princess could speak, her maidservant interjected, "Does Your Highness have a problem with our princess? Our princess was invited to the palace by Her Majesty the Empress for a chat. If you're going to stop us, you might as well go directly to Her Majesty the Empress."
Lord Wang bowed respectfully, saying, "I dare not," and led his men to make way, "Your Highness, please."
The maid raised her head and followed the carriage away arrogantly. "Even a seventh-rank official has to deal with a princess's nighttime outing," she thought.
Xiong Bufan lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage and saw that the curfew inspectors had left. He took out a cake from his bag, placed it on the carriage, and said to the princess, "Thank you." After saying that, he jumped out of the carriage and disappeared into the thick night.
Before the princess could finish her sentence, "How have you been these past years?", Lin Lanzhi had already disappeared.
The maid climbed into the carriage. "Your Highness, are you alright?"
That little thief is blind to dare kidnap you; next time I'll break his legs.
The princess consort was unusually angry. "Be careful what you say. Don't tell the prince about this."
“Yes,” the maid said, noticing the flatbread on the carriage. “Your Highness, should we throw this away?”
Princess: "You may leave."
"Yes."
Xiong Bufan hid in a small alley, using a bamboo basket to block others' view. He took the black cloth off his face, took out food from the bag and put it in his mouth. Having just used up too much energy, Xiong Bufan was already very hungry.
"Bufan, you're crying."
Xiong Bufan touched his face; there was a cool liquid on his hand. "It seems so. How amazing! Kongkong, do you know what's going on?"
Kongkong explained, "That princess just now was Qiao Qiqi. Lin Lanzhi probably still has some lingering emotions, which is why she's crying."
"Didn't she go to be reincarnated? Why are there still lingering emotions?"
Kongkong scratched his head. "I don't know either. Anyway, let's just stay away from her."
"it is good."
In the first world of his quick transmigration, he experienced being beaten, burned, and chased by soldiers in just half a day. He didn't know how many conspiracies and tricks awaited him and Bufan ahead. Just thinking about these things gave him a headache. He heard snoring nearby, "Huff, huff, huff."
It turned out that Xiong Bufan had fallen asleep again. There was still more than an hour until dawn, so he should sleep for a while. He would deal with whatever came his way, as long as he could survive.
It was almost dawn when the fire in the ancestral hall was finally extinguished. The area around the hall was doused with kerosene, and inside there were wax paper and wooden tablets. After the fire was put out, only a large frame remained of the ancestral hall, and the interior was a complete ruin.
Although Lin Lanxi was rescued, she suffered extensive burns and was already unconscious when she was carried out. Madam Lin cried and followed her back to her room to find a doctor.
