A lucky little peasant girl is reborn and brings prosperity to her entire family.
Chapter 162 A male corpse
According to the script, Huiyi should indeed be crying at this moment.
But at this moment, she only felt that her throat was very dry, as if she couldn't make any sound.
They were even somewhat bewildered.
...It must be because there was a fire in this courtyard recently, and there's too much dust and ash, that's why she's feeling so unwell.
Yes, that must be it, that's right.
Huiyi firmly believed this.
She shook off the hands of Madam Ming and Madam Su that were trying to help her, and took a few steps into the charred ruins.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the side, crying and hugging her waist, calling her "Mother."
Huiyi trembled, and before she could even utter "Lanting," the figure had already raised his head, his eyes brimming with tears.
If she isn't her biological daughter, then who is Ayu?
"Mother, it's all my fault. My sister and Miss Song got drunk, so I let them rest in the courtyard. If only I had been more careful..."
Even in her tears, Luo Jinyu's crying was incredibly beautiful.
Tears streamed down her face like beads from a broken string.
Huiyi was taken aback.
She knew, of course, that this fire was not an accident.
She knew, and Luo Jinyu knew, about this as well.
But at this moment, Luo Jinyu's crying was truly heartfelt.
In an instant, Huiyi couldn't help but wonder, how much of Ayu's heart-wrenching crying in the past was genuine, and how much was fake?
"mother……"
Another "Mother" pulled Huiyi back from her somewhat reverie.
Huiyi belatedly realized that Ayu had finally called her mother.
In the past, Ayu always called her Your Highness.
She also asked why she didn't call her "Mom".
What did Ayu say back then?
She said that since her older sister was still alive, if she called His Highness "Mother," it would seem as if she were trying to steal His Highness from her sister.
So now, is it because Lanting is gone that Ayu is finally willing to call her mother?
Huiyi was momentarily dazed.
She felt she should be happy.
Ayu finally called her mother.
Ke Huiyi, however, felt a surge of resentment, though she gritted her teeth.
Of course, she wouldn't hate her Ayu.
She only hated Rolandin, wondering why he had to die on such a day.
why!
Why do people die?
Huiyi's eyes were filled with hostility.
She turned around and coldly said to the steward, "She's definitely not dead. Go in and find her! Otherwise, you will all be buried with her!"
The manager turned pale, but under Huiyi's intimidating power, he gritted his teeth and agreed, organizing people to quickly put on wet quilts and rush into the fire.
Luo Jinyu hadn't expected Huiyi to react this way, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she felt a little uneasy.
Did Huiyi regret it?
But why did she regret it?
Didn't she say she never liked Rowland?
Didn't she say that she only recognizes herself as her daughter?
So what's the purpose of this now?
But Luo Jinyu dared not show it. She pretended to be worried and unable to hide her sadness, and together with Madam Ming and Madam Su, she persuaded Huiyi to leave.
Huiyi, however, only focused on those people who were covered in wet blankets and rushed into the still not completely extinguished fire to rescue people.
Luo Jinyu gritted her teeth, called over a maid, and whispered with a sob in her voice, "His Highness is too heartbroken. Go to the kitchen and prepare some nourishing sweet soup. I'm afraid His Highness's grief will harm his health."
Luo Jinyu's voice wasn't loud, but it was "just right" enough for Huiyi and the two ladies to hear.
The two ladies quickly comforted him, saying, "Your Highness, don't be too sad. You still have Miss Yu."
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, Miss Yu is still young. For her sake, you must also take care of your own health."
Huiyi seemed to finally come to her senses, and she looked at Luo Jinyu. Luo Jinyu's face was covered in tears, and she called out emotionally, "Mother!"
Huiyi's face showed a hint of emotion, and she was about to say something when, at that moment, two people covered with wet blankets and with their mouths and noses covered, quickly carried a person covered in black soot out of the fire.
Huiyi almost immediately abandoned Luo Jinyu and stumbled towards the charred, blackened body.
"Lanting! Lanting—"
The person was unrecognizable; the burns were horribly severe.
Luo Jinyu covered her mouth.
Madam Ming and Madam Su had never witnessed such a tragedy before, and their faces turned pale as they looked away.
Huiyi felt a sudden rush of light in her head. She staggered, and before she could utter the words "Lanting," she heard the steward beside her whisper, "Your Highness, this should be a male corpse."
The words "male corpse" acted like a spell, pulling Huiyi back to her senses.
A male corpse is good, a male corpse, then it can't be Rolandin...
Before Huiyi could even rejoice for long, Luo Jinyu covered her mouth and said, "Something's not right. How come there's a male corpse in my sister's room?"
Madam Ming and Madam Su exchanged a knowing glance but said nothing.
Huiyi, remembering her previous arrangements, felt a pang of anxiety. She grabbed the steward's sleeve and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is everyone else in the room?!"
The steward, with a mournful face, tried to explain, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't worry. A lot of the roof beams have fallen down, but we're still working on it, still working on it..."
Huiyi shook off her hand and shouted sternly, "What are you all standing there for! Go now! You bunch of useless trash!"
The manager hurriedly went to direct people to put out the fire.
The charred male corpse was so gruesome that someone came over and covered it with a white cloth.
Huiyi stared blankly at the corpse covered with a white sheet on the ground.
She felt dizzy and could only think about one thing.
Lanting, was Lanting also burned like this?
Lanting has always been afraid of pain. How much pain must she be in to be burned like this?
Luo Jinyu whispered to her, "Mother, don't be too sad. Perhaps something happened. That room is my sister's bedroom, and she was resting there drunk. How could a man have entered?"
Huiyi suddenly raised her head and glanced at Luo Jinyu.
Luo Jinyu had never seen Huiyi's eyes so cold and fierce before. Although it only lasted for a moment, it was enough to make her tremble all over.
Her next words were stuck in her throat.
Tears gradually welled up in Luo Jinyu's eyes.
It's unfair.
Her mother had clearly hinted to her that once the fire started, the man her mother had arranged would drag Rolandin out, disheveled, so that Rolandin's reputation would be ruined.
As for Song Yanyan, who was resting nearby, the doors and windows would be nailed shut, and she would be burned alive inside!
This can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
The problem now is that neither the man nor Rolandin has escaped.
Right now, Luo Jinyu naturally wanted to subtly imply that the man and Luo Lanting had an affair without a matchmaker!
Luo Jinyu never expected that her mother, who usually doted on her, would look at her so coldly after she only mentioned it briefly!
