Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 448

Chapter 448 Borrowing Death False Escape

The Rong Clan’s mansion was filled with flames that soared into the sky.

The guests were also frightened by the fire. Most of the courtyards in the entire Rong Manor were burning. Everywhere they touched, they were all filled with flames. Half of the sky had already been burned red, causing people to feel terrified when they saw it.

At this time, all the guests had been cleared. They would stand in front of the main courtyard. There were no houses or trees there, and no matter how the fire burned, they would not be able to come here.

Even though they were a distance away from the fire area, they could still feel the burning temperature of the fire.

Following Rong Jin’s order, all the Ten Directions Palace Men who were protecting the mansion rushed towards the black-clothed men like eagles. They firmly protected the mansion from anyone. They were finally able to protect the guests for a while.

As he looked at the flames in the sky, his eyes were filled with flames, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Rong Jin’s eyes.

I didn’t expect those people to be so vicious. If they hadn’t brought all the guests out earlier, everyone would probably have been burned to death.

Looking at the sky-soaring fire, The people of the Yun Clan could not remain calm, Madam Lu, in particular, was already so anxious that her eyebrows were burning. She walked back and forth. Hearing all the people sent to look for Yun Xiao say that they hadn’t seen Yun Xiao, Madam Lu glanced at the fires that filled the sky. Her heart ached and she immediately fainted from anxiety. She was caught by Yun Maozhe and pinched a few times before she slowly woke up.

Madam Lu had just woken up when she sized up everyone around her once again. Seeing that there was still no trace of Yun Xiao, tears rolled down her cheeks.

At this moment, flames filled the sky, and even someone inside couldn’t escape. She had originally thought that today was her daughter’s wedding day, but who would have thought that the white-haired man would give the black-haired man away?

A burst of sweetness surged up, and in the end, he couldn’t hold it back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Rong Jin had just finished investigating when he heard the commotion. He immediately walked over and saw that Madam Lu was vomiting blood. He immediately asked someone to move a chair and let Madam Lu sit down. “Mother, how is your body now?”

Mrs. Lu’s heart ached endlessly. She heard Rong Jin’s voice and immediately opened her eyes, as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. She said expectantly, “Rong Jin, where’s Xiao Xiao? Where’s Xiao Xiao? How’s Xiao Xiao now?”

Everyone came out, only Yun Xiao and the accompanying maidservant did not come out, how could this not make Madam Lu anxious?

Rong Jin’s eyes dimmed a little. Seeing that many people’s ears were stretched out, he snorted coldly and said to Madam Lu, “Xiao Xiao hasn’t come out yet. I’ll go in and look for her immediately.”

Hearing Rong Jin’s words, Madam Lu could no longer hold back her tears.

The people from the Yun Clan did not expect everyone to come out. Only Yun Xiao did not come out. She was also sad from the bottom of her heart and surrounded them, crying and complaining one after another.

When Rong Jin saw that others could not see it, he moved closer to the crowd and stuffed a letter into Yun Maozhe’s mouth.

Yun Maozhe was crying bitterly for his daughter. He didn’t expect that Rong Jin would actually give him something. He looked at Rong Jin in astonishment and reached out to pinch the thing in his hand. It was like a letter.

Since Yun Maozhe had been in the capital for so long, he was naturally the most knowledgeable person who could do so much with the Yun Clan’s family business.

Seeing that Rong Jin was secretly giving it to him, it must be because he couldn’t let others know about it. He kept the letter quietly and raised his head to see that Rong Jin had already turned around and walked over the crowd into the fire.

Yun Maozhe was shocked and immediately shouted, “Rong Jin, come back.”

With his voice, everyone noticed that Rong Jin was about to charge into the fire.

Madam Lu was shocked and forgot to cry. She immediately shouted, “Rong Jin, come back quickly. We don’t have any daughters anymore. We can’t … we can’t let you die too!” Madam Lu’s words were urgent, and she began to cough loudly.

Yun Maozhe immediately went up to pull Rong Jin back. However, before he could get close, he saw that Rong Jin had already turned around and entered the flames.

Yun Maozhe wanted to pull Rong Jin again, but a burst of flames rushed over, and the burning flames forced him to retreat.

No one would have thought that such a joyous occasion would turn out to be like this. Their expressions were somewhat unsightly, and the people from the Yun Clan were even crying loudly.

On the contrary, although Yun Maozhe was crying, his heart was burning with anxiety. He wanted to open the letter that Rong Jin had just given him, but now that there were so many people, it was obviously not the best time to open it.

He always felt that what happened today was very strange, but he didn’t know anything.

Seeing that the people outside were still fighting nonstop, the people in front of the main courtyard did not dare to rashly come out, otherwise, they might have lost their lives in vain.

It wasn’t until the governor rushed in with his men that everyone became bolder. The governor had his men surround the guests in order to protect them. On the other side, he had them tell him everything that happened today. Then, he ordered them to go and capture the black-clothed men who set the fire.

With the protection of the governor, these guests did not want to stay here any longer.

Therefore, he asked the governor of the capital to send someone to send them back.

This place was too chaotic, and it wasn’t good to have too many people. However, the situation was still unclear, so letting people leave would obviously cause more chaos. Therefore, the governor naturally didn’t allow anyone to move around freely.

Half an hour later, none of the black-clothed men who set the fire were caught. Other than those who ran away, only those who died. Only some of the guards in the Rong Manor’s courtyard stayed behind and continued to protect the courtyard.

After the governor sent people to interrogate all the guests, they all got the same answer.

While they were eating, there were suddenly many black-clothed people outside. For some reason, these black-clothed people lifted their long arrows and shot in their direction. No one noticed that they were already on fire. If it wasn’t for the speed of the people in the Rong Clan who separated everyone, they would definitely have been burned to death.

Hearing the guests’ words, they did not find any place to solve the case. Seeing that so many people were nobles in the capital, the governor could not let everyone stay here, so he had to have the guests sent back first.

When the guests had almost dispersed, only the Yun Clan members remained unwilling to leave. Only after the governor asked did he know that their Yun Clan’s daughter, today’s bride, had yet to come out. The Yun Clan’s uncle had already entered to look for her, but no one knew whether she was alive or dead.

Madam Lu had already fainted from crying. Yun Maozhe was the one who answered all the questions. When he saw Madam Lu faint, Yun Maozhe had no intention of waking her up. If she fainted, she didn’t know anything. If she woke up, she would continue to cry. Instead, it would hurt her even more.

The governor immediately ordered people to help put out the fire. He didn’t expect everyone to be rescued. Only the newlyweds were still inside today. However, he could also imagine that the bride couldn’t walk around freely on the first day of her marriage. It had been so long since then. The bride should have been burned to death long ago.

However, with so many officers and soldiers helping to extinguish the fire, the flames did not have the slightest intention of extinguishing. Instead, they grew more and more intense. Only at night did they show signs of gradually extinguishing.

Yun Maozhe felt pity for Madam Lu. Thinking back to the letter that Rong Jin had sent him, he couldn’t wait to leave. Therefore, the governor told them to go back to the manor first and wait for news. The two families were close, so he would immediately notify them as soon as there was news. In this way, Yun Maozhe had no intention of refusing.

When they arrived at the Yun Clan, Yun Maozhe immediately asked a doctor to take a look at Madam Lu’s body.

Seeing that Madam Lu was not out of danger, Yun Maozhe found it hard to leave. There was also a maidservant beside her, and the letter was still in her hand, not letting go.

After a few doctors saw the doctor, they all said the same thing. It was only because they were overly sad that they fainted. Only then did they feel relieved and kicked out all the maids. Yun Maozhe made sure that no one was watching. Only then did he walk to the bedside and use his own body to block the line of sight and open the letter.

It said, “Daddy mother don’t read, My daughter is safe, Recently, because of her daughter, The Yun Clan was regarded as the target of public criticism, “Staying in the capital is not good for the Yun Family and us, so my husband and I decided to find a good place to raise our health first. My daughter will write to my father when she has the chance. However, for the sake of the Yun Family’s well-being, I ask my father to only tell my mother about this matter so that mother doesn’t have to worry. In addition, I will find someone to help me and my husband with a funeral, daughter Yun Xiao.”

After reading the letter, Yun Maozhe’s expression was very embarrassed. His expression changed back and forth, and he was even more embarrassed. He only sensed that the Yun Clan had been busy recently and was filled with killing intent everywhere. However, he did not expect it to be so dangerous that his daughter and son-in-law would use death escape to protect the Yun Clan, and they did not even know it.

Yun Maozhe felt very guilty about this. It was dangerous outside. He would rather put the Yun Clan in danger than let his daughter’s son-in-law leave the capital. However, now, there was no turning back.

He had gone through everything that had happened today in his mind. Although the Rong Manor looked panicked when evacuating the guests today, it was very organized. There were also so many guards. Their martial arts were actually so strong that they could protect the courtyard. Everything seemed to have been arranged properly.

Thinking of this, Yun Maozhe originally had some doubts, but now he no longer had any doubts. Instead, he whispered a lot.

After this life and death battle, Yun Maozhe also knew that as long as he knew that his daughter was still alive, nothing else mattered. No matter where his daughter was, it was fine as long as she was safe and sound.

Madam Lu woke up from her coma and saw Yun Maozhe standing guard on the side. Tears rolled down her cheeks. “Master, Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao …”

Yun Maozhe patted Madam Lu’s shoulder and whispered in Madam Lu’s ear, “Don’t worry, Xiao Xiao isn’t dead.”

Madam Lu looked at Yun Maozhe in astonishment. Yun Maozhe told Yun Xiao the letter and showed it to Madam Lu to prove that Yun Xiao was really fine.

When Madam Lu saw the letter, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she looked at Yun Maozhe in surprise, “Master, Xiaoxiao is still alive, so she should help her with the funeral. Isn’t that good?”

Yun Maozhe frowned. He didn’t want to, but this was the best method at the moment. “It’s just an expedient measure. You’ve been recovering from a casual illness these past few days. No matter who it is, you’re not allowed to talk about Xiaoxiao being alive. Before Xiaoxiao returns, we’ll try our best to close the door and not see any guests.”

After Yun Maozhe finished speaking, he immediately turned around and burned the letter, so that no one would discover any traces of it.
