Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby
Chapter 5 Setting Fire to the Ancestral Hall
"Who is where? Who is talking?!"
Xie Huaijing raised his voice slightly in order to keep Shen Yan away. He happened to be heard by a servant passing by, who asked a few questions loudly and walked towards them.
Shen Yan raised his legs and was about to fly away.
Xie Huaijing took Shen Yan's hand and moved her to a hidden corner.
Shen Yan's back was against the wall, and her mouth was covered by Xie Huaijing. Xie Huaijing's other hand was supported on the wall. From a distance, she seemed to be surrounded by Xie Huaijing's arms. .
The two were very close, so close that Shen Yan could hear Xie Huaijing's breathing and heartbeat, and could also see his long eyelashes and handsome facial features.
Shen Yan had to admit that Xie Huaijing was the most handsome man she had ever seen, bar none.
If this appearance were placed in the [-]th century, it would be the best among the best.
However, she doesn't like others to get too close to her, not even handsome men.
Her eyes instantly became sharp.
"Don't talk." Xie Huaijing just reacted instinctively. Now he immediately let go of his hand covering Shen Yan's lips. He said softly, "If I'm discovered, you stay and I'll go out."
Shen Yan's eyes suddenly softened. If she had flown away just now, her back might be seen by her servants.
According to Xie Huaijing's approach, she was indeed safe. However, Xie Huaijing, a man, ran into the yard of someone else's daughter's house. Even if he jumped into the river, he wouldn't be able to wash himself away.
At this time, the servant who had just spoken had arrived next to the two of them.
The servant shouted, "I've seen you, don't hide!"
"Wang Po, what are you doing there?"
At the same time, Shen Qingqing's voice also sounded nearby. She heard Mrs. Wang's shout.
"Miss, I just heard someone talking here, so I came over to take a look." Wang Po replied.
"Then what did you find?" Shen Qingqing asked again.
"No servant." Wang Po was a little confused. She clearly heard the voice and saw the figure in a daze.
"Okay, go do your thing, don't make any fuss about Wuying!" Shen Qingqing said.
She is upset right now and doesn't want other distractions to affect her mood.
She is the daughter of the eldest princess, the emperor's niece, the queen mother's granddaughter, and the apple of the prime minister's eye. Who would dare to intrude into her yard without being discerning?
Of course, there are also those who are not smart, that is, that damn Shen Yan. Shen Yan is locked up in the ancestral hall and is being guarded. She will never get out!
"Yes, miss." Mrs. Wang did not dare to contradict Shen Qingqing.
After the footsteps outside faded away and there was no sound at all, Xie Huaijing spoke, "Just now... I'm sorry."
"Thank you for saving me." Shen Yan said, she was not someone who couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong.
Xie Huaijing's peach blossom eyes rolled up, "You never have to say thank you to me."
He stared at Shen Yan. Severe malnutrition had made Shen Yan so thin that she was only skin and bones, but it still did not affect the aura in her eyes.
He met Shen Yan when Shen Yan returned to Beijing a month ago. At that time, Shen Yan's eyes were empty.
Compared with before, Shen Yan was completely different now. Instead, his eyes were exactly the same as the Shen Yan he once knew.
Seeing Xie Huaijing staring at her, Shen Yan spoke up to break the silence, "Did you just say that there was a way to get the maid to testify against Shen Qingqing?"
Xie Huaijing nodded, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the ancestral hall to talk."
After the words fell, the two returned to the ancestral hall together.
The two found a place to sit down, and Xie Yan spoke first.
"Miss Shen Er's maid Xiangxiang was bought. She has a younger brother at home, and she is a filial daughter..." Xie Huaijing told Shen Yan his method, and added at the end, "This method can make the maid commit the crime. "
Obviously, Xie Huaijing didn't just think of this method, he had been prepared for it.
Just like in Shen Qingqing's yard just now, he could react in an instant and take himself to a safe corner. He was very familiar with Shen Qingqing's yard.
Shen Yan thought for a while and asked, "Are you attracted to Shen Qingqing, but you can't love her, and hate her because of your love, so you want to use your help to attack Shen Qingqing?"
Xie Huaijing was completely stunned. He asked in a dumbfounded voice, "Miss Shen, am I so poor in vision?"
Shen Yan did not answer, but continued to express his opinion, "You are very familiar with Shen Qingqing's affairs, and you worked so hard to help me attack Shen Qingqing. You are not trying to retaliate against Shen Qingqing. Why are you doing this?"
"It's not that I'm familiar with everything about Shen Qingqing, but behind these things are all related to you." Xie Huaijing knew that Shen Yan didn't trust him, so he explained patiently.
"I have been to Miss Shen Er's yard several times to get information, so I remember the terrain inside, and naturally I have also investigated the people she trusts around her. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be victorious in every battle."
"Miss Shen, no matter how much I say now, you still won't completely believe me, so just watch what I do, okay?"
Xie Huaijing said, "It's not convenient for you to go out now. Leave it to me to let the maid testify against Shen Qingqing. I'll come to see you again after I've arranged everything."
Shen Yan had no other better choice, and this was the perfect way to try Xie Huaijing.
"it is good."
When Xie Huaijing saw that Shen Yan agreed, his eyebrows relaxed and he said, "Wait for me."
Then he stood up and took two steps, then stepped back and said, "Pay attention to safety."
Shen Yan nodded.
Not long after Xie Huaijing left, Shen Yan smelled a pungent smell.
It’s tung oil!
She ran towards the place where the smell of tung oil was, and saw thick smoke rising.
A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. Sure enough, as Xie Huaijing said, the eldest princess and Shen Jianzhang were going to burn her to death in the ancestral hall!
Fortunately, she was well prepared after listening to Xie Huaijing's words.
Want to burn her to death?
It’s not necessarily who died!
Shen Yan turned around and ran away. She wanted to leave the ancestral hall first to avoid the fire.
Under the influence of tung oil, the ancestral hall quickly burned down.
Shen Yan stood on a branch of a tree not far away. It was midsummer, and the green and thick leaves could just cover her figure. She could clearly see everything happening outside the ancestral hall.
At this moment, what comes into view is blazing fire and billowing smoke!
The firelight was like a long tongue stretched out by a devil. Between the smoke and fire, she seemed to see the sinister faces of Shen Jianzhang and the eldest princess.
If she were in the ancestral hall now, she would probably have died in the smoke and fire.
Thick smoke shot straight into the sky, and no one in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion came to check.
It wasn't until half of the ancestral hall was burned down that Shen Qingqing hurried over with her servants.
"Quickly put out the fire! My sister is still inside. If anything happens to her, I'm the only one asking you!" Shen Qingqing's face was anxious and cold, but there was no worry in her eyes.
At the same time, Shen Jianzhang and the eldest princess also appeared.
"What's going on? Why did the beautiful ancestral hall suddenly catch on fire?" Shen Jianzhang asked the servant with a cold face.
The eldest princess spoke before the servants could answer, "It must have been Shen Yan who set the fire! She knew she had broken off the engagement and couldn't explain it to the royal family, so she set herself on fire to die as an apology!"
Shen Yan was condescendingly watching the performance of the family of three. Her eyes were like sharp knives and her whole body was filled with chills.
