Shen Ji lowered his head and shed tears, which landed on the green brick floor.

Xie Li wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.

The pain in his heart was no less than that of Shen Ji.

Xie Wanzhou could no longer suppress her emotions. She turned pale and cried bitterly, covering her heart, "Mother... mother..."

Lian Yan's eyes turned red as he supported her.

Granny Yuan looked at the gate of the Hou Mansion with dull eyes and a splitting headache. In a daze, she seemed to have returned to the night when her young daughter died.

Fang Xu's voice and smile flashed through his mind, and in an instant, the world was spinning.

"Old lady!"

There was a chaos in front of the gate of Yongchenghou Mansion, all of them were alone.

Shen Ji's long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes were blurred by tears. He looked up and his eyes fell on Lian Yan's waist.

The next moment, he stood up suddenly, too fast for Xie Li to react.

Shen Ji pulled out the long sword from Lian Yan's waist and placed his backhand across his neck.

"Shen Ji!"

He actually wanted to follow Fang Xu.

Xie Li stood up in panic and ran in his direction.

Lian Yan came to his senses, stepped forward quickly, raised his hand and knocked the sword away, his face was ashen, "Master Shen, what are you trying to do!"

The long sword fell to the ground, leaving a trail of blood on Shen Ji's neck.

Xie Li rushed to him, grabbed his collar, and shouted, "Are you crazy? You are willing to leave everything and die, but have you ever thought about whether my mother is willing to carry your sin?" debt!"

Shen Ji looked at him with red eyes, and the tears in the corners of his eyes reflected the light. He opened his thin lips and said with difficulty, "The underworld is lonely, I have to go and keep her company."

Xie Li was so angry that he was shaking all over, gritted his teeth and said, "Just live a good life!"

Shen Ji slowly closed his eyes, bursting into tears, and lowered his head without saying a word.

There was no trace of any desire to live in him.

Xie Li gritted his teeth and looked at him steadily, "Dayan cannot live without Shen Ji. If you survive well, you have already accumulated virtue for my mother."

He was familiar with Shen Ji. If this guy made up his mind, even if he failed to kill himself this time, he would definitely do it in the future.

Shen Ji opened his eyelids, his face was cold and cold as Xie Li had never seen before, his voice was low and hoarse, "What does this world have to do with me?"

Shen Ji's voice was not loud, just enough for Xie Li beside him to hear clearly.

"Do you think I worked hard to climb up the ladder because I wanted to become a famous minister, go down in history, and be famous throughout the ages?"

"I just want to be by her side, I just want to be worthy of her."

Shen Ji looked at him coldly, and after a long time he opened his mouth and said, "I want to marry her, but she is gone."

"I was just a little bit short..." Shen Ji collapsed emotionally and lost his mind. "I have already submitted the charges of those people, and promotion is already a certainty. I just let this fire take away everything from me."

"Tell me, what am I still doing alive?"

Xie Li looked at him and opened his mouth, speechless.

This was the first time he saw Shen Ji's madness, and he had no ability to resist it.

Don't be greedy for power, don't be interested in fame and fortune, be full of heart and eyes, and save only one person.

Xie Wanzhou cried hoarsely, her eyes blurred with tears, and in a trance, she seemed to see her mother's figure.

Xie Wanzhou was stunned, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and looked with wide eyes. After a moment of silence, she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mother!"

This voice attracted everyone's attention, and they followed Xie Wanzhou's gaze.

Shen Ji raised his head mechanically and looked into the distance, his gray eyes suddenly brightened after seeing the woman's face.

It's Fang Xu.

She is still alive. Fang Xu had a lot of dust on his face, his bun was messed up, and there were two strands of hair hanging down by his cheeks. He was carrying a person on his back, and his steps were a little staggering.

The man on his back tilted his head, his arms dropped, as if he was unconscious.

Everyone looked carefully and saw clearly the appearance of the man.

She is Fang Xu's personal maid, Baiji.

He has always been the savior of loyal slaves, and Fang Xu is the first one whose master saves his slaves.

Not only Bai Ji, but Fang Xu was followed by more than a dozen people, all of whom were more or less injured.

Ye Ming looked at them one by one, couldn't hold back anymore, and cried bitterly.

There is not a single person missing in Chengyuan.

"lady!"

Several young men burst into tears on the spot and rushed over to share the burden for the lady. They helped Baiji down and the rest of his companions, and walked towards the door.

There was no need to go to the doctor. As soon as the manager of Nongyuntang heard that there was a fire in his employer's mansion, he immediately rushed over with the people from the medical clinic.

Seeing someone going to rescue Bai Ji, Fang Xu breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't hold himself up anymore and leaned to one side.

Before he fell into coma, he saw a white shadow running towards him.

The farce ends and peace returns.

Tonight in the capital, it was a carnival for gossips. The teahouse was full of people, just to listen to Liu Kuaisui's talk.

Liu Kuai cleared his throat, slapped the folding fan on the table, and said in a loud voice, "Dear readers, today is not an ordinary day. The situation in the capital has changed, and the sky has collapsed..."

"To elaborate, a fire broke out in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion. Tens of thousands of loads of water could not put it out. Most of the mistresses in the manor were rescued, but only the mistress was trapped in the courtyard."

"Whether it was the eldest son of the family or the daughter who was married outside, they all ran back home and tried every means to save their mother, but to no avail."

"At this moment, a big shot suddenly came!" Liu Kuaizui smiled, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Guess who is coming?"

Most of the people who came to the tea house to hear about the book were people who had never seen it with their own eyes. Now that Liu Kuai was showing off, they became interested and kept urging him.

"Don't let us guess. Please tell me quickly, who is that person?"

Liu Kuai smiled and said in a loud voice, "The person coming is none other than the current minister, Lord Shen Jishen!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Master Shen? What is he going to do?"

"Yes, is Master Shen so close to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion?"

"You are really confused. There were rumors a while ago that Master Shen is very fond of the young lady of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion!"

Someone started talking, and everyone present instantly remembered the rumor.

"I see, Master Shen went to save his sweetheart."

"No, no." Liu Kuaizui shook his head with a smile on his face, "The person Master Shen loves is not the eldest young lady of the Hou Mansion, but someone else."

"There is someone else...who is it?"

"That person is none other than the head mistress of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, Mrs. Fang."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of gasping could be heard in the teahouse.

"As for this Fang family, she is so beautiful that she is so beautiful that she seduced Master Shen. When he heard that she was in danger, Master Shen collapsed and cried, and almost committed suicide with his sword."

"Fortunately, Mrs. Fang escaped safely. Before she fell into coma, I watched Master Shen hold her tightly in his arms."

Liu Kuaizui shook his head and gave a very pertinent evaluation, "Speaking of which, Mr. Shen has a clean face and a high talent."

"The two men fall in love with each other and are happy with each other. It is indeed a good match."
