Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

The thick smoke billowing in the new house made Xie Chengyi unable to breathe. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and rushed inside.

His younger brother was still inside, and Xiao Yizhui was also inside.

"Ayin, Ayin!"

Xie Chengyi shouted at the top of his lungs but received no response, only the crackling sound of the burning fire snake.

He ran quickly while dodging the falling wood chips, not caring at all about his sleeves being burned by the flames, and looked around for Xie Chengyin and Xiao Yizhui.

"Thank you, Chengyi!"

A familiar voice reached his ears through the firelight, and Xie Chengyi saw Xiao Yizhui standing beside the bed in a red wedding dress.

Xie Chengyi kicked the half-burned wooden table in front of him and rushed to Xiao Yizhui.

"Miss Xiao Er, I'm glad you're okay. I'll take you out right away."

As he said this, he grabbed Xiao Yizhui and was about to walk out.

At this time, Xiao Yizhui just smiled and looked at Xie Chengyi without moving at all.

Xie Chengyi was confused and anxious, "Second Miss Xiao, what happened? Did you drop something important? This place is about to collapse. Come with me!"

Xiao Yizhu shook her head and said, "Xie Chengyi, I won't leave."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xiao Yizhu laughed, looking at the pair of eyes that were rarely focused on her, and couldn't help but lean forward and kiss the corner of Xie Chengyi's lips, "I thought I didn't owe you anything, but you still came, and now, I owe you again."

Xie Chengyi was puzzled, but he didn't have time to understand. He only saw Xiao Yizhui and hadn't seen his brother. After rescuing Xiao Yizhui, he would go look for his brother.

The longer they stayed here, the greater the danger would be, so he immediately picked up Xiao Yiju and took her out forcefully.

Xiao Yizhui seemed to have anticipated his action. Just when he wanted to reach out to hug her, she had already shaken off his hand and took a few steps back.

The beam of the new house fell on his head. Xie Chengyi reacted very quickly and pushed Xiao Yizhui away. However, the flames on the beam still burned Xie Chengyi, and a big hole was burned in his outer robe.

Xiao Yizhen rushed to Xie Chengyi's side, looked at the exposed and swollen skin on his back, and tears of panic filled her eyes.

"Xie Chengyi, are you okay?"

Xie Chengyi shook his head and pulled Xiao Yizhui to continue walking out. This time Xiao Yizhui did not break free from him, but followed him out step by step.

Looking at the tall and majestic figure in front of her, Xiao Yizhui felt a little nostalgic in her heart. If there had not been this fire, could she and he have been together happily? Even if he only regarded her as a responsibility, he could forget about life and death for her.

But, there is no if.

This wedding was planned by her father, and she was the bait used by her father to kill Xie Chengyi.

Either he dies, or they die together.

But she would rather die.

When she entered the bridal chamber, she felt relieved when she saw that the person marrying her was Xie Chengyin instead of Xie Chengyi.

But her sudden appearance rekindled her desire to survive.

But at this moment, a door suddenly fell towards them where they were walking, and Xie Chengyi was concentrating on resisting the fire in front of him. Xiao Yizhui immediately pushed Xie Chengyi forward with force.

Xie Chengyi was pushed and staggered. When he turned around, he saw Xiao Yizhui trapped in the fire. Under her feet was the wooden door that had just fallen.

There was no fear in Xiao Yizhui's eyes. She calmly watched the fire in front of her swallow her up bit by bit along the hem of her skirt.

"Xie Chengyi, please go away. I don't want to be saved!"

"Miss Xiao Er, we are already married. You are my wife. How can I abandon you?"

Xie Chengyi took off his outer robe, twisted it into a strand, and whipped the beam covered with flames. However, the outer robe was only cloth after all, and the fire on the beam soon spread to the outer robe.

The fire burned Xie Chengyi's hands, and his outer robe had turned to ashes. Fire continued to fall and ignited everything in the room. Xie Chengyi couldn't get close to Xiao Yizhui at all.

The shouts and noise coming from outside were no match for Xiao Yizhui's last words to die calmly.

"Xie Chengyi, you and I have not yet married, so we are not husband and wife. You are free to marry in the future."

"I know you agreed to marry me because I saved you when I was eight years old, but you know, saving you was not my original intention. There was another person in the carriage at that time. She said she wanted to save you, but I was implicated and my legs were crippled because of it."

"I have resented and hated you, but I also really like you. However, I don't want to owe you anything."

"This time, let it be my compensation for deceiving you for so many years."

Every word Xiao Yizhui said was like a knife in Xie Chengyi's ears, bloody and full of pain.

But at this moment, he wanted to rescue Xiao Yizhui more. No matter what they were like back then and who saved him, he couldn't just watch her die in front of him.

But he had no tools to move the wood, so he could only use unburned objects to push away the burning wood. He finally made a path and was about to grab Xiao Yiju's sleeve when someone pulled him hard from behind and he was pulled away from Xiao Yiju.

A piece of burnt wood fell where Xie Chengyi had just stood, sending sparks all over the ground.

Xie Chengyi turned around and looked at the person who was pulling him, with great surprise in his eyes, "Ayin, I'm so glad you're okay, come on, help me save Miss Xiao Er."

Xie Chengyin grabbed his brother and looked at Xiao Yizhui who had been completely swallowed by the fire snake. He did not dare to stay any longer and dragged Xie Chengyi out of the sea of ​​fire.

The fire was out, and the bridal chamber that was originally draped with red silk had turned into a scorched earth. Not even the body of Xiao Yiju was left.

Xie Chengyi tried to rush in to find Xiao Yizhui's body, but was held tightly by Xie Chengyin.

"Brother, she's dead. So what if you find her body?"

Xie Chengyi was stunned, and looked up at Xie Chengyin with his red eyes, "Why didn't you take her with you when you escaped?"

"She started the fire."

Xie Chengyi's heart skipped a beat, as if he couldn't believe what Xie Chengyin said, but the hand that was pulling Xie Chengyin's sleeve slowly slipped away, and Xiao Yizhui's last words echoed in his mind over and over again.

It turned out that she had already made up her mind to die.

As Xie Chengyin looked at the new house that was burned down, he felt relieved but also gradually felt a little bit of pity.

He married Xiao Yizhui on behalf of his brother in the hope of helping his brother escape this disaster and avoid the tragedy of his previous life. But when he was deeply involved in it, he realized that if his brother was still alive, perhaps the ending of this life would be better than it is now.

Because Xiao Yizhui had changed, she was ready to sacrifice her own life to save Xie Chengyi.

When Xie Chengyin met Xiao Yizhui in the bridal chamber on behalf of his brother, Xiao Yizhui revealed Prime Minister Xiao's plan and asked "Xie Chengyi" to leave.

Xie Chengyin knew about the fire, but he didn't expect that it was Xiao Yizhui herself who set the fire, not Xiao Chengzhang.
