Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

Chapter 125 Luo Xiaoran's Death

"Lin Qianqian's mother was a maid in the Lin family when she was young. After she redeemed herself, she found out that she was pregnant."

"Stop, stop, stop," Luo Xiaoran interrupted Zhu Jingxing before he finished speaking, with an incredible expression: "You mean Lin Qianqian is the daughter of the Lin family?"

Zhu Jingxing laughed at himself and did not answer Luo Xiaoran's question. Instead, he continued to speak according to his own thoughts:

"Although Empress Lin Zhuohua is beautiful, she is not favored by Emperor Tianqi. His Majesty favors Concubine Bai alone, and the Lin family cannot find another legitimate daughter to send to the palace to compete for favor.

Lin Qianqian is the daughter of Lin Xiaotian, the head of the Lin family. She is also Lin Zhuohua's half-sister. She looks 60% like Lin Zhuohua, but she has the delicate image that Emperor Tianqi likes. Naturally, she is the best candidate for the Lin family to send to the palace. "

Hearing this, Luo Xiaoran suddenly realized, and in an instant, the thread of things seemed to be connected:

"You told the Lin family about Lin Qianqian's true identity and asked them to help you with the matter of borrowing a corpse to revive your soul. So you can't touch Lin Qianqian now."

"The Lin family will arrive tomorrow and will take Lin Qianqian back to Beijing.

It's too late now. It was all a mistake, and it was because you refused to admit that you were Shu'er that caused so many troubles later. So, go and atone for Shu'er's sins!"

"stop!"

Luo Xiaoran stopped Zhu Jingxing's action again, her brows furrowed like a mountain road, and she looked at him with disdain:

"What's wrong with the Lin family! People from the Lin family don't want to pay for their lives after they harmed someone? Is this the extent of your determination to avenge Zhu Jingshu?"

Zhu Jingxing sneered, seemingly mocking Luo Xiaoran's ignorance, and also mocking his own weakness:

"The Lin family is the head of the five great families in Kyoto. The four generations of emperors of Daliang had empresses. Except for Empress Taizu, who was married to Emperor Taizu as a young man, the rest of the empresses were legitimate daughters of the Lin family. What do you think happened to the Lin family?"

……

In the evening, Mother Xu came to Shulezhai with various candied fruits, candied eggplants and two bags of unsalted melon seeds, but when she looked from a distance, she found that there seemed to be a flickering fire in the house.

The tray in her hand fell to the ground in a mess. Mother Xu was so scared that she shouted: "Help! There's a fire! Help! There's a fire! ..."

The guards patrolling outside Shu Le Zhai rushed to fetch buckets of water to put out the fire, but the fire was too big and had burned through the beams of the house in a short period of time, making it impossible to save the situation.

……

At Lin Qianqian's residence, the maid Yinping trotted over to her, her face pale as she said, "Miss, something bad has happened. Shulezhai is on fire!"

"What?" Lin Qianqian stood up suddenly, as if she was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she asked again, "Say it again."

Yin Ping took a deep breath and said word by word in a clear and melodious voice: "Shu Le Zhai is on fire."

"How is Shu'er? Has she been rescued?"

"The fire was so big, I heard no one was able to save them."

"Stay back!"

"Yes."

After Yinping left, Lin Qianqian sat down slowly and covered her face with a handkerchief. Two seconds later, a hearty and suppressed laughter came from under the handkerchief.

"Hahahahahahaha, God help me! I wish Jingshu a good death! It's a great death!"

Originally, she met Zhu Jingshu once half a month ago, but before she could finish her conversation, Zhu Jingshu asked her to leave Shu Le Zhai.

For the past half month, she has been trembling with fear, fearing that Zhu Jingshu would say something nonsense after her cousin came back.

As soon as her cousin came back today, he went to see Zhu Jingshu. She was extremely nervous in the room. She wanted to go to Shu Le Zhai to find her cousin several times, but was stopped.

Unexpectedly, Shu Le Zhai caught fire. Didn’t God hear her prayers and help her fulfill her wish?

Thinking of this, Lin Qianqian decided to go to Shu Le Zhai. She wanted to see for herself whether Zhu Jingshu was dead or not.

When Lin Qianqian took Yinping to Shu Le Zhai, Zhu Jingxing was staring blankly at the small building that had been burned into ruins, with an expressionless face.

The fire was eventually put out, but it took a long time for everyone to search before they found a charred body under a pillar.

"My lady! I brought you the prepared silk-pulling, how did you end up in such trouble?"

After all, Mother Xu was old and not afraid of trouble. She immediately knelt down beside the body that had been burnt to charcoal and burst into tears.

As soon as Mother Xu started crying, the maids in Shulezhai also started crying.

"Miss, Miss, you died miserably!"

"Miss, does it hurt?"

"Miss, have a pleasant journey!"

……

In the past half month since Luo Xiaoran came here, she has been making delicious food for the maids and servants in the yard every day to reduce their daily workload. Therefore, the servants in the yard like her very much. When they saw her suffer such a disaster, they cried with real emotions.

Only Zhu Qiu standing aside had the most complicated expression. To be honest, she was the one who had spent the longest time with Luo Xiaoran among all the others.

During the one month from Yizhou to Changzhou, she took care of Luo Xiaoran every day.

At first, Luo Xiaoran's attitude was still very cold, but later, perhaps because she was resentful of her for putting drugs in her food every day, Luo Xiaoran started to tease her whenever she had the chance to vent her anger.

After finally arriving in Changzhou, the Lord had given the order:

Luo Xiaoran was placed in Shulezhai and was not allowed to go out, and no one was allowed to see her.

But on the way back, Luo Xiaoran asked her about Lin Qianqian, which surprised her very much.

If Luo Xiaoran knew that Lin Qianqian was a cousin who was staying in the mansion, then she was most likely the cousin.

But she also said that she knew this person because she had met Lin Qianqian before.

Then Lin Qianqian met the young lady but did not tell the adults about it, so she is despicable.

In order to verify the authenticity of the matter, she disobeyed the orders of her parents and took Lin Qianqian to see Luo Xiaoran. As expected, Lin Qianqian looked panicked.

As soon as the master came back, she wanted to report the matter, but she didn't expect that Luo Xiaoran saw through her thoughts, and Luo Xiaoran confessed to the master very directly about her meeting with Lin Qianqian.

She was called out by the adults, who then called her back in and asked her to tie up Luo Xiaoran.

When the master called her in the second time, it was to ask for a fire starter, and there was a fire in Shulezhai...

Zhu Qiu looked up at Zhu Jingxing, who had a blank expression on his face. She didn’t dare to think about it anymore…

"Shu'er!"

Because of the obstruction of view by Xu's mother and others, Lin Qianqian, who was jogging all the way over, did not see the corpse on the ground. She just screamed towards the messy small building.

Seeing that no one paid attention to her, she walked to Zhu Jingxing very naturally, and when she raised her eyes, tears were already streaming down her face: "Cousin, what about Shu'er?"

Zhu Jingxing pointed at the body not far away and said, "Shu'er is there."

Lin Qianqian looked in the direction of Zhu Jingxing's finger, and saw a curled up black corpse that had been burned and lying on the ground, which was very horrifying.

Lin Qianqian almost screamed out loud. Feelings of fear, nausea, and terror flashed through her heart one by one, and finally ecstasy.
