Mother Zhang was still speechless.

Li Jingwan was not in a hurry and said slowly, "Jiang Xing is your only son, and you don't have a grandson. If he dies, the incense of your Jiang family will be cut off."

At this point, Zhang's mother finally reacted and cried, "Madam, please let my son go."

"I've given you a choice. It depends on whether you give your son a chance or not."

The moonlight shining on her left cheek seemed so soft, but it made Mother Zhang feel as if she was falling into an icy cave.

She always thought that Li Jingwan was easily influenced and was bullied by Old Madam Qin everywhere, which made her even more humble.

Old Madam Qin treated her as a pawn of the Marquis' Mansion, and she also looked down on the mistress Li Jingwan.

But now she realized that Li Jingwan was not someone who could be easily manipulated.

-

Looking at Mother Zhang stumbling away, Bitao felt a little worried.

"Miss, what if she tells the old lady?"

"No." Li Jingwan was very sure, "She only has Jiang Xing as her son, and she regards him as her lifeblood, so she will definitely save him."

"If she dares to turn against us, Jiang Xing won't survive."

Bi Tao curled her lips and said, "It's really a bargain for them. You will have to give her some money when the time comes."

Li Jingwan smiled and said, "Who said they were going to give it to me?"

"You lied to her?"

"Why should we use gentlemanly methods to deal with such a villain?" Li Jingwan snorted and laughed.

"It was easy for Jiang Xing to cut off two of his fingers. For what he did, it wouldn't be excessive to kill him."

After Jiang Xing was arrested, Xiang Zhuo ordered people to interrogate him about what he knew about the Marquis' Mansion.

Before the torture began, Jiang Xing, who was afraid of death, confessed all the bad things he had done in the Marquis' Mansion.

Jiang Xing deserves to die, but it's useful to keep him alive.

When the time comes, he will be punished.

After returning to the courtyard, Li Jingwan had no appetite to continue her dinner.

She wanted to read a book, but when she sat down she felt a little tired. She had not slept well in the past few days because of all the planning for today's events.

So, after Cuiyu and Bitao helped her wash up, she fell asleep quickly.

Bi Tao let down the bed curtain, walked out and yawned, "Cui Yu, I feel sleepy too."

Cuiyu said, "You go back to sleep. I will sleep in the cubicle tonight."

She was worried that Li Jingwan hadn't eaten much and would wake up hungry at night, so she decided to stay and keep watch.

As soon as the hour of Chou passed, the night watchman outside the mansion struck the clapper and shouted at the top of his voice, "It is the fourth watch of the hour of Chou, and the weather is freezing cold."

At this time, the entire Youlan Residence was still in a deep sleep. Even the little girl who was guarding outside Li Jingwan's bedroom door was sleeping soundly and lying directly on the ground.

The yard was quieter than ever.

At this time, a figure entered the yard and checked outside each room.

Seeing that everyone was fast asleep, another person came in and the two of them poured kerosene together.

A fire starter was thrown down, flames rose up, and the two men immediately retreated.

Then, another figure flashed in, walked straight to the woodshed, and opened the door with the key.

Tang Qiaoyin hadn't slept at all and hadn't eaten a single bite of the food that was brought to her. After Li Jingwan left, she had been leaning against the wall with her eyes half open, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, she looked up and was very surprised, "Brother Yao!"

"Mom, I'm here to save you." Qin Guangyao changed his indifference from the past few days and stepped forward to help her untie the ropes on her hands and feet.

"You... why are you here?" Tang Qiaoyin looked towards the door. There was no one else. "Are you here alone?"

"Yeah." Qin Guangyao nodded.

"I stole the key and came here while they were asleep. Mother, I will take you out of the mansion. Go directly to the South Gate. This gate opens the earliest. You can leave the capital at that time."

The ropes were untied, and Tang Qiaoyin rubbed her wrists that were sore from being tied for so long, but she didn't move, "Brother Yao, is this just your decision?"

"Of course, mother, I am your son, I can't just watch you get punished." Qin Guangyao nodded, his tone a little anxious, "Hurry up and get up, let's go."

Her eyes darkened, "Answer me a question first."

"What's the matter?" Qin Guangyao said impatiently, "Let's talk about it after we get out."

"No, you answer me first." Tang Qiaoyin insisted.

Qin Guangyao was anxious, but he had to coax Tang Qiaoyin out, so he nodded and held back his anger, "Mom, then ask."

"Besides giving me the abortion pill, did you do anything else to me?"

Qin Guangyao's eyes dodged, but he said, "No."

"Really not?" Tang Qiaoyin asked.

"If you don't believe me, why are you asking me?" Qin Guangyao avoided the main point, "It wasn't my idea to give you the abortion pill. It was my sister who asked me to do it. I just believed her."

He was very anxious and simply tried to pull Tang Qiaoyin, "Mom, we were indeed wrong this time. You will still have children. When you give birth to a brother in the future, I will definitely treat him well."

"You're lying!" Tang Qiaoyin shook off his hand, her eyes red, "I can't have children at all!"

Qin Guangyao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that she still knew it.

"Qin Guangyao, I am your biological mother, and you actually gave me sterilization drugs. Are you still human?" Tang Qiaoyin was furious and felt very sad. Even at this time, Qin Guangyao was still lying to her.

"Qin Guangyao, you..."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped.

A distinct smell of smoke rushed into her nose, "Fire?"

She looked at Qin Guangyao, who was not surprised, and understood instantly, "Did you set the fire?"

"It's not me." Qin Guangyao was afraid that he would be too late, so he grabbed her wrist and said, "Mom, let's go quickly. It's really too late."

"No." Tang Qiaoyin broke free from his grip. She subconsciously felt that she could not leave with Qin Guangyao.

She had lost her trust in him.

Qin Guangyao was young and had a bad temper, so he couldn't control his emotions. "If you don't leave, you will be arrested as an arsonist."

Tang Qiaoyin was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. "Well, so letting me go is to put the blame for the arson on me. Qin Guangyao, you are really the old lady's good great-grandson, so vicious."

"No." Qin Guangyao denied it, but he couldn't justify himself.

The smell of smoke was getting stronger. Tang Qiaoyin suddenly pushed Qin Guangyao to the ground and ran out.

"Stop!" He quickly stood up and chased after her, determined not to let Tang Qiaoyin escape.

According to the plan, he took Tang Qiaoyin out of the house and let her run to the South Gate.

Servants have been ambushed there. When the time comes, they will capture her directly and say that she was the one who set the fire and burned down Youlan Residence. All the responsibility will be on her.

As a result, Tang Qiaoyin, who had always obeyed him, not only did not listen to him, but also saw through their plan.

At this moment, Li Jingwan, who was still sleeping, was awakened by a strong shake.

"Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin, wake up!"

Li Jingwan opened her eyes, but before she could see who was coming, she immediately smelled a strong smell of smoke and a distinct burning sensation.

As soon as she coughed, a wet cloth covered her mouth and nose.
