The dust stirred up by the explosion shrouded the surroundings of the Xiao Family's shop. Countless soldiers stood guard nearby with swords and spears in their hands, keeping the onlookers far away. The ruins formed by the explosion were piled up dozens of feet high. Afraid that the shop would collapse again, no one dared to use any tools and could only clean it up by hand. The progress was very slow.
Qin Xian 'er held onto the Grand Mistress's hand tightly, her pretty face without a trace of blood. Xiao Yuruo held back her tears and comforted her softly. Other than the sound of the soldiers moving the broken bricks and tiles, there was no other noise.
Gao Qiu hurriedly wiped his sweat and ran over from afar. He knelt down and said, "Reporting to the Princess, Miss Xiao, the Princess of the Yun Nation has arrived …"
Before he finished speaking, he saw a small sedan hurriedly coming from afar. The curtain was lifted and three gorgeous women ran out. Their clothes were messy and their faces were haggard.
"Big Brother …" Ning 'er and Qiaoqiao cried out. Their tears fell like pearls from a broken necklace. They choked with sobs as they threw themselves at the ruins. The burning flames shone on the two women's faces. Their desolate expressions made Gao Qiu also cry uncontrollably.
Xiao Yuruo was familiar with Qiaoqiao, and Miss Luo was also an old acquaintance of Jin Ling. Seeing the two of them crying so hard that they almost fainted, and thinking of Lin San's appearance, she suddenly had a feeling that her heart was broken and suffocated. Pulling their sleeves, she softly sobbed: "Sister Qiaoqiao, Miss Luo, he, he will be fine …"
Luo Ning, who was crying, suddenly raised her head. Tears flickered on her pretty face as she sobbed angrily, "Grand Mistress, does Big Brother have a grudge against your family? Why does something always happen to your family? Last time, he was captured, and this time, he was plotted against. You, is this how you treat him?! "
Under Luo Ning's anger, there was no calmness to speak of. The Grand Mistress felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles. Not knowing how to answer her, she sobbed softly and fell into the arms of Qin Xian 'er. She murmured, "It's my fault, Sister Xian' er, it's my fault …"
Over the past two days, Qin Xianer had already gotten rid of the estrangement between her and Xiao Yuruo. She had built a deep relationship with them. Especially when they faced the dangerous situation just now, the two of them relied on each other, comforted each other, and went through thick and thin together. Seeing Luo Ning angrily questioning Xiao Yuruo, Qin Xianer couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and rebuke, "Miss Luo, the matter between Xiao Family's elder sister and my husband has nothing to do with you. You have no right to interrupt."
"What did you say?" Luo Ning was so angry that her body trembled. She was also an arrogant person. She didn't know whether her brother was dead or alive. She was heartbroken and could no longer care about Qin Xian 'er's identity. She said angrily, "Big Brother is your husband, but he is also my husband. My father betrothed me to him, and Lord Xu Wei was the matchmaker. How can it have nothing to do with me?"
Qin Xian 'er's little face turned cold. She said coldly, "What betrothal? I think you are the one who is pestering my husband …"
"You …" Luo Ning had never suffered such cold words before. She was so angry that her breasts trembled and tears fell down her cheeks. She couldn't say a word.
"Sisters, please stop arguing." Qiaoqiao was secretly feeling sad. Hearing the two sisters quarreling, she felt even more sad. She choked and said, "You two are the closest people to Big Brother. If he sees you two quarreling, won't he be even more sad?"
Qiaoqiao was gentle and lovely. Qin Xian 'er got along well with her when they were still in Jinling. Hearing her words, she suddenly thought of Lin Wanrong, whose life and death were unknown. She choked and sobbed. Luo Ning's eyes were also red. Tears fell down her cheeks. The two of them didn't say a word.
The woman behind Qiaoqiao and Luo Ning stared at Qin Xian 'er for a long time. She couldn't help but cry, "Xian' er, is it you?!"
Qin Xian 'er's expression was cold. She didn't even look at her. "So what if it is me? Why? Do you want to fight with me? My master is not afraid of your master. Why would I be afraid of you? "
Xiao Qingxuan shook her head. She was crying and laughing at the same time. She said gently, "What happened in the past was a misunderstanding. You are my sister. Why would I fight with you? If I knew the truth, we would have known each other when we were in Jinling. Wouldn't it be better for our family to be reunited and show filial piety to Father? "
"Sister?!" Qin Xian 'er looked at her slightly bulging belly. She felt bitter in her heart. She sneered. "Don't put it in a nice way. When you seduced my husband, why didn't you remember that I am your sister? Aren't you the chosen successor of the Sacred Workshop? You have ambitions for the Heavenly Axiom. You are worried about the world. You want to devote your life to the Sacred Workshop. How did you get pregnant with my husband's child? Master is right. The so-called Sacred Workshop is full of hypocrites. They don't dare to love or hate. They are a hundred times more hypocritical than the common people. Your master is like this, and so are you. "
Even the Grand Mistress could not bear to listen to her sarcastic words. She quickly pulled Qin Xian 'er's sleeves. Xiao Qingxuan was fearless instead. She'd grown up in the White Lotus Society since a young age and was influenced by An Biru, causing her to be fostered into a devilish woman that acted in her own way. Even Lin Wanrong was helpless against her, let alone Xiao Qingxuan.
Miss Xiao's face turned red and white. Although Xian 'er's words were harsh, there was one thing that she was right about. When it came to being straightforward and daring to love and hate, neither Xiao Qingxuan nor Ning Yuxi could compare with the master and disciple.
"Then I am a hypocrite." Miss Xiao wiped away her tears and said softly, "But no one can cut off the blood ties between us. Whether you acknowledge me as your elder sister or not, you are still my younger sister. This will never change."
"Who cares?" Qin Xian 'er snorted. Her eyes were misty and she quickly turned her head away.
Xiao Qingxuan knew about this little witch's temperament when she was in Jinling. She almost fell into her trap the last time. Miss Xiao also knew that she would not be able to eat hot tofu if she was anxious. It was already a great improvement for her to be able to let Xian 'er talk to her peacefully. She sighed and looked at Xiao Yuruo with a smile. She nodded and said, "Grand Mistress, we haven't seen each other for some time. How are you?"
Seeing Xiao Qingxuan, Grand Mistress could not help but recall the scene in the mountains. Her cheeks were hot and she quickly lowered her head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Princess. Xiao Yuruo is doing well. I have yet to thank Princess for saving me in the past."
Xiao Qingxuan shook her head and smiled, "If we really want to thank someone, I should be the one thanking you. You are also half a matchmaker for my marriage with Lin Lang. Lin Lang has told me many times that I must thank you properly! "
There was a hidden meaning in Miss Xiao's words. Xiao Yuruo felt shy in her heart. She lowered her head slightly and held Qin Xian 'er's little hand tightly.
For a moment, the scene was extremely quiet. The few young ladies who were standing had unknowingly divided into two factions. Neither side was to be trifled with. Gao Qiu listened to their words and looked at their expressions. He understood most of the situation. In this world, to find a man who could tame these few young ladies, it could only be Lin San.
"Guard Gao, is this where my Lin Lang is hiding?" Xiao Qingxuan's elegant eyebrows slightly raised. She looked at the pile of rubble and asked in a trembling voice.
Gao Qiu cupped his fists and said respectfully, "Lin Daren and Lady Xiao should be buried under these rubble. Please rest assured, Princess. This lowly official will definitely rescue Lin Daren as soon as possible."
Xiao Qingxuan nodded lightly. Her eyes flashed with tears and she sighed softly, "You, my enemy, will never let me rest."
…
After chatting with Lady Xiao for a while, what should be said and what should not be said were poured out in one go. Without any burdens, his heart instantly felt much more relaxed. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Madam, I have never said these words to anyone else. Even Qing Xuan does not know that you already know eighty percent of my secrets. You can barely be considered as my confidante. "
In this dark world, they could not see each other's expressions clearly. However, they could feel each other's body temperature. It was a very warm feeling. Madam spat softly. She said shyly and angrily, "Who is your confidante? Be careful not to be heard by others. They will catch you and drown you in a pig cage."
He laughed carelessly and said, "Madam, I'm not scared. With our purity, we are still far from being drowned in a pig cage. "
Madam sighed and said softly, "Lin San, how come you have become a different person when you are here? If we can really escape, will you still change back? "
Such a profound question, Lin Wanrong did not know how to answer. He laughed bitterly and asked, "Madam, do you want me to change back?"
Lady Xiao was silent for a long time. It seemed that this question was a bit difficult. After a long time, she faintly sighed and said, "Why Xiao Yuruo and Yushuang would fall in love with you? I have always found it hard to understand in the past. It is only now that I somewhat understand. Lin San, you said that I know eighty percent of your secrets. What is the other twenty percent? Can you tell me too? "
"No." Lin Wanrong smiled. "Some secrets only belong to me and cannot be shared. Although, sometimes, I will be very lonely. "
His tone was indifferent, but there was an unconcealable sadness in it. It covered up the surrounding heat. Perhaps influenced by him, Madam's heart suddenly gave birth to a feeling of oppression. In the haze, even his heartbeat was so clear.
It was unknown how long the silence lasted. Suddenly, a moist feeling came from his arm. A few warm drops of water dripped down. Lin Wanrong was shocked. "Madam, what's wrong? I did not take advantage of you."
Madam smiled and shook her head. She wiped away her tears and said softly, "Do you hate me?"
"Hate you? Why would I hate you? "Lin Wanrong was very puzzled.
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending to comfort me?" Lady Xiao sobbed. Her eyes sparkled with tears. "If I did not disregard Xian 'er's advice and stubbornly went to Xiang Guo Temple to offer incense, you would not have been framed and trapped here. I know that you have many things that you have not done. You have an unborn child. It is me, I am the one who harmed you! If something happens to you, I will not be able to live in peace for the rest of my life. "
Madam Xiao's voice gradually became louder, and her emotions became agitated in an instant. She choked and sobbed, and tears poured down her cheeks, staining the lichen on his chest and dripping onto his arms, turning from warm to cold.
Lin Wanrong forcefully stretched out his hand and gently patted her soft shoulder. He sighed. "This matter has nothing to do with you. Someone is targeting me. If you want to talk about harm, it is me who harmed you. I am the one who implicated you. Aiya, why did you bite me? "
"The air is thin. If I don't bite you, who else should I bite?" Lady Xiao snorted angrily. She said with tears in her eyes, "You snatched something from me and put all the blame on yourself. You want me to feel better? You are so noble, but you want me to owe you for the rest of my life? I am so angry. I have never seen such a stupid and bad person like you! "
Lady Xiao seemed to be really angry. Her breasts were panting and pressing against Lin Wanrong's chest. She turned her head away and did not speak.
What is going on? Lin Wanrong was confused. She was crying one moment and laughing the next. She was very different from her usual mature and wise self. She even said that he was different from usual, but she did not know that she had also changed.
There were only two people in the ruins. If one of them did not speak, the other would naturally be silent. Lin Wanrong hurriedly pulled her arm. Lady Xiao snorted angrily. "What are you doing? Go and be a noble person. Don't touch me!"
Being noble and shameless, it's all my fault. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly. The warm atmosphere from before was instantly frozen by her antics.
The ruins became darker and the air became thinner. A sense of oppression surged in his heart. Lin Wanrong's breathing speed was a lot faster. His heartbeat could be heard clearly. His eyelids gradually closed.
Lady Xiao's rapid breathing sounded in his ears. Lin Wanrong suddenly woke up. He quickly hugged her waist and patted her face. "Lady, you can't sleep. You can't sleep. Wake up. I haven't taken advantage of you yet. Wake up. Cough, cough …"
This shout exhausted all of his strength. He panted heavily, inhaling turbid air into his lungs. The feeling of suffocation became more and more intense. His eyelids felt as if they weighed a thousand kilograms, and he was about to fall asleep in a daze.
"Lin San." Lady Xiao panted. Her trembling breasts were tightly pressed against his chest. Her voice had become hoarse. "Are, are we going to die?!"
"We won't die. We won't die." Lin Wanrong's eyes were wet. He shook her body hard. His hands and feet were trembling. "Lady, hold on. Let's talk. I will reflect on myself. I won't be noble anymore. In fact, I really want to be a despicable person."
"Cough, cough." Lady Xiao's face was flushed. She coughed violently. The feeling of suffocation made her in a trance. Tears slowly fell. "Lin San. Is your name Lin Wanrong?"
"Yes, yes." Lin Wanrong hurriedly nodded.
"Lin Wanrong. Lin Wanrong …" Lady Xiao gasped. She opened her small mouth with all her strength. She wanted to breathe hard, but she inhaled more air. Her eyes were heavy. She muttered, "This name is not good. I still like to call you Lin San. Do, do you know my name? "
Her body became softer and softer. The trembling of her lungs could be heard with every breath she took. The immense pain made her voice extremely weak: "I-I am Guo Junyi. Y-you definitely won't remember …" Her body suddenly stopped, and her breathing suddenly became incomparably violent. Gradually, it slowed down, and there was no more sound.
"Guo Junyi. Guo Junyi …" Lin Wanrong hugged the body that was gradually turning cold. Tears rolled down his face.
"Ah …" In the heart-wrenching pain, he let out a roar. He tightly hugged Guo Junyi's body. Like a helpless child, he cried bitterly.
A crisp sound was heard. A woman's ecstatic voice came. "Lin Lang. Lin Lang …"
