Chapter 154 Let's Burn the Hong Family
Qu Jingyao came out of Miss Hong's yard and went straight to Mrs. Hong's yard.
Mrs. Hong’s private storehouse was located in this courtyard, and those “little friends” had told her about it long ago.
"Madam, I have already warned that bitch. I don't think she will dare to make trouble again."
"Well, she wouldn't dare. Even if the master knew, so what? He's afraid of my family, so naturally he wouldn't dare do anything to me. What's more, the master is a man who cares about his reputation. He doesn't want this matter to become a big deal and be known to everyone."
Qu Jingyao heard clearly the conversation between Mrs. Hong and the nanny beside her.
She tiptoed and opened the door of the private storage next door.
In addition to Mrs. Hong's dowry, there were also many treasures she had collected over the years, all of which were left as dowry for her precious daughter.
"There are really a lot of good things here, even rare things like red coral."
Qu Jingyao waved her hand and nothing was left wherever she went.
After collecting all these, she looked at the empty room, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she clapped her hands and walked out of the room.
At this time, the candles in Mrs. Hong's room had been extinguished.
She left the yard quickly without stopping.
When she was looking for Baiguo, suddenly several servants came running towards her and said that there was a fire in the master's study.
In order to avoid a few people, she slipped into a remote yard.
In this empty yard, there was only one room with a candle still burning.
There was also the intermittent sound of a woman crying coming from inside.
"Wuwu...son, I can't help you get revenge, so I might as well go with you."
Qu Jingyao looked at the shadow coming through the window paper, and it was obvious that the woman was trying to commit suicide.
It was not difficult to tell from her crying voice that this person should be the mother of the illegitimate son of the Hong family who was poisoned to death.
Combining the conversation between Mrs. Hong and the servant just now, it was not difficult for her to understand the woman's situation.
"If you have the courage to seek death, don't you want revenge? A mother is a strong man, and it's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
As soon as Qu Jingyao finished speaking, the woman who was about to hang herself suddenly fell off the stool.
At this time, there was no movement outside the yard, and Qu Jingyao quickly slipped out of the yard.
When the daughter stumbled and pushed open the door, there was no one in the dark yard. She collapsed in front of the door and burst into tears.
After venting, she realized that she had to stay alive, because only by staying alive would she have the chance to avenge her son.
"Thank you..." She whispered towards the empty yard. If it weren't for the voice just now, she would have done something stupid this time, which really pleased others.
When Qu Jingyao came out of the yard, she bumped into Bai Guo who was looking for her.
"Master, are you okay?"
"It's okay, let's go."
Qu Jingyao glanced at the front yard where flames were rising to the sky, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and then she quickly rushed out from the backyard with Bai Guo.
At this time, the Hong family was in chaos.
The master and servant left the Hong Mansion and ran straight towards the city gate.
"Get out of here... You don't have any money and you still want to drink and have fun, getting something for nothing? Ugh!"
Qu Jingyao and his servant were attracted by the sound.
"The master seems to be Qu Shusheng."
"Oh?"
She turned and ran towards the brothel full of lights and wine. The master and servant sat on the roof opposite and watched Qu Shusheng being thrown out of the brothel by a group of pimps.
The scholar's robe was now extremely dirty and his steps were unsteady, indicating that he had drunk quite a bit.
"I...I have money, I have money..."
Qu Shusheng looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, waving his arms and shouting while staggering.
The madam crossed her arms over her chest and spitted "Pooh" sarcastically, warning him that if he didn't leave, she would have his legs broken.
Many customers and girls who came and went in the brothel saw it clearly and pointed at Qu Shusheng.
Some people even recognized him at a glance as the man who was caught cheating during the day.
Qu Shusheng was half drunk and half awake when he heard those unpleasant words. He was too embarrassed to stay any longer and staggered away.
"You guys know what...what...humph...a bunch of snobs."
Qu Jingyao watched him slowly walk into the alley. She raised her eyebrows and winked at Bai Guo, and the master and servant quickly followed.
Baiguo looked at the cloth bag that her master had taken out from somewhere, and the corner of her mouth twitched suddenly. She watched as her master took advantage of Qu Shusheng's inattention and put the bag on his head.
She didn't understand anything, so she immediately kicked Qu Shusheng in the leg.
The master and servant punched and kicked him mercilessly.
"Who? Who dares to hit grandpa? Ouch, ouch, stop it..."
Qu Jingyao kicked him with gritted teeth, and felt so relieved when she saw him rolling back and forth begging for mercy.
"Hu... Let's go!" Looking at Qu Shushan lying motionless on the ground like a dead body, Qu Jingyao turned coldly and jumped into the depths of the alley.
"Bah!" Bai Guo spat with cold eyes, turned around and quickly caught up with his master.
She didn't notice that when Qu Jingyao left, she released the little fire from the space.
Keeping Qu Shushan here will only bring disaster...
The master and servant returned to Lingshui Village without stopping.
"You go back and rest first."
Qu Jingyao never liked having someone keep watch at night, so she gave Bai Guo instructions before entering the room.
"Yes! I will leave this slave."
Bai Guo had been with his master for so long that he had already figured out his master's temperament, so he simply bowed respectfully and retreated.
After returning to the room, Qu Jingyao took off her nightgown and collapsed on the couch.
Thinking of Qu Shushan who had just been beaten, he felt relieved, as if all the depression in his heart had been released at once.
She just lay on the couch, thinking about what had happened in recent days, and as she thought about it, her eyes began to fight.
After a while, the sound of even breathing could be heard.
When Xiaohuo came back, he found that his master had already fallen asleep, so he did not go forward to disturb him.
Instead, it considerately picked up the quilt from the bed and covered its owner with it.
It nestled quietly beside the owner and watched him fall asleep.
The candles on the candlesticks in the room were crackling, until there was movement at the door at three o'clock in the morning.
Xiaohuo immediately opened his eyes alertly and looked towards the door, only to see Leng Yanxiu, dressed in a dark purple brocade robe with gold thread, slowly walking into the room with heavy steps.
His face was slightly pale, and as soon as he stepped in, he saw a small fire full of hostility.
"roll!"
His eyes were cold and sharp, and his whole body was filled with hostility. He swept the small fire to the ground.
Looking at the man with a gloomy face, it didn't dare to move forward, but was worried about the safety of its owner.
"You're a protective person, go away and don't sleep next to her anymore."
Leng Yanxiu said this coldly, and the next second he reached out and pressed Qu Jingyao's sleeping point.
He coughed softly while stroking his chest, then sat down next to her while stroking his chest, and picked up the injured hand to examine it.
Although it had been bandaged, blood stains were faintly visible, and his eyes instantly became frosty.
Xiaohuo, curled up on the ground, blinked and stared at his every move.
