Chapter 469 Zhao Xingjian was burned to death
She has to take care of not only their family of four, but also the entire Duke Zhenguo Mansion.
Although she has returned to the capital now and has servants at home, she, as the mistress of the house, still has to worry about everything. It would be better to stay in the northwest, which is simple and warm.
His force was neither too light nor too heavy, and after a few massages, Qiao Mingzhu felt much more comfortable on her shoulders.
Thinking that her husband was massaging her shoulders, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and felt happy inside.
"It's not hard. I don't know how many people in Beijing envy me."
What she said was true. Without a mother-in-law, she would be the mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. There were countless people who secretly envied her, and some even said that she was not worthy.
She didn't think so before in the northwest. Her family was exiles and her father was a minor official. It seemed like she was marrying down to a lower class if she could marry him.
But when she came to the capital, her status was insignificant, almost the same as that of a commoner.
Now that the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is at its peak, how many people want to see her make a fool of herself, and how many people want to find someone to marry her husband.
But my husband refused.
So what if I have a low status?
With the love of her husband, the support of her father-in-law, and the protection of the princess's second aunt, she is not afraid of those things even in the capital.
Her vision was not wrong. Although her husband had returned to the capital and held an important position, he treated her the same as always.
"Don't lie to me. I know what they say in private. Don't worry about it. Mingzhu, you don't have to be afraid of anyone now. You are the mistress of the Zhenguo Mansion and the future wife of the Zhenguo Duke. Don't be afraid of anything. Dad and I will support you."
Ye Xingyuan kneaded her for a while, then walked to her front and held her hand.
"Mingzhu, you ignored the opposition of your family, my status, and the fact that I have a son, and you were determined to marry me under such conditions.
Over the years, you have treated my eldest son like your own son, and I have seen it all. If I don't know how to be grateful and do something to betray you, not only myself, but also my father and second aunt will not forgive me."
"Besides, you know I'm not that kind of person. Over the years, you and I have become one and the same, inseparable. I will never let you down, so you don't need to feel inferior or doubt yourself. Believe in me, and believe in yourself."
Ye Xingyuan took her hand and placed it on his heart, where his true heart was.
The Ye family would never take concubines, let alone abandon their wives and do such despicable things.
Qiao Mingzhu's eyes reddened and she threw herself into his arms.
It turns out he knew everything.
I know her fear and inferiority, and I know she has been trembling with fear these days.
Yes, when she saw those noble ladies in the capital, with their good family backgrounds and looks, although she did not care on the surface, she was still afraid that her husband would change his mind.
But now, she felt as if she had taken a reassurance pill.
Yes, her husband is the future Duke of Zhenguo, and she is the future wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. As the mistress of the house now, she is afraid of nothing.
"My dear husband, your words are enough. I naturally believe you. You are right. I am the mistress of the Zhenguo Mansion. If anyone dares to disrespect me in the future, I will beat her!"
Qiao Mingzhu smiled.
"Yes, show the momentum of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion."
Ye Xingzhou held her in his arms.
There are many things in this world. A friend in need is a friend indeed, but everyone flees when disaster strikes.
He's been through it all.
He was really lucky to meet her.
The eldest son is also very lucky to have a mother like her.
"Hey, Dad, Mom, please continue, we didn't see anything."
A voice suddenly broke in, and the two separated immediately, only to see the second son covering his eyes and turning around to run away.
The eldest son also looked apologetic and ran off with the second son.
The couple chuckled helplessly, without feeling embarrassed.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, something happened in Zhaojia Village. Early in the morning, when people just went out, they were frightened by the flames rising into the sky in front of them.
Many girls will go back to their parents' homes on this day, and some who live nearby have already returned.
Seeing the fire, everyone hurriedly called for help. When the villagers saw that it was Zhao Xingjian's house, they were not so anxious anymore.
What's more, the fire was so big that if you tried to put it out rashly, you might lose your life.
Villagers came in twos and threes carrying basins and other things to put out the fire, but they were not very active.
Zhao Xingjian covered himself with a towel soaked in water and called for help amid the fire.
His legs couldn't run because they were burned by the fire.
The piercing pain felt like it was drilling into his heart, causing him to break out in a cold sweat. He also felt like he was being scorched outside, as if he were in purgatory.
“Help…Help….”
He tried desperately to climb out, but there was fire all around.
He didn't light a lamp at night, so where did the fire come from?
No, Sun Qianer came before dawn and brought him a sesame seed bun with some vegetables. She watched him finish eating before leaving.
I lit a lamp for him before leaving.
At that time, it was still dark and he was no longer sleepy.
Since he came back, he was able to get out of bed within two days, and then when he had nothing to eat or drink, he started asking Sun Qianer for it.
Who made him have the leverage over her?
He even asked her to come over twice at night and have sex with him.
She behaved very submissively, as if she was afraid of him, but later she accepted her fate and began to come to him on her own initiative.
With someone to provide him with food and drink and a woman to sleep with, Zhao Xingjian became more and more decadent. He just wandered around the village and lay in bed every day. It was a carefree life and he even thought it was pretty good.
Sun Qian'er is also a bitch. She feels lonely when her man is not at home. She might climb into his bed on her own without his threat.
You still have to serve him obediently.
Who knew that all this was just an illusion!
If anyone could harm him and cause this fire, that person must be Sun Qianer!
After all, in this village, only Sun Qianer would pay attention to him and come to his house.
It must have been lit when she left early in the morning.
He just remembered that she had lit the lamp on purpose.
He also said there was no need to light the lights as he wanted to get some more sleep.
But she said that it was already so late and he must be unable to sleep, and she brought him a book and told him to read it.
He also felt that this woman was becoming more and more considerate, and he felt very happy about it.
Not only did she light the lamp by his bed, she also turned on the lamp outside.
The whole house is brightly lit.
Anyway, he didn't have to spend any money on lamp oil, so he just let her do what she wanted.
When Zhao Xingjian smelled the lamp oil in the air, he immediately remembered the lamp oil he had spread in Lingyin Temple.
This technique is so familiar!
It’s Sun Qianer, she wants to burn herself to death!
By the time Zhao Xingjian figured this out, it was too late. The fire had already started and he couldn't climb out.
His body was already on fire and he was grimacing in pain.
"Help....."
He shouted desperately and finally heard a human voice.
Someone came to rescue him, they were putting out the fire.
Zhao Xingjian seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and started to rush out.
However, the fire had already burned to his legs, as if it was going to tear him apart, causing excruciating pain.
He felt like he was going to die.
He seemed to see himself dressed in red, riding a horse and parading through the streets, and he was still the glorious top scholar.
He even saw that he married the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. She was gentle as water and always smiling.
