Chapter 1

In Jiangnan, the weather in October is still extremely hot.

At noon, the scorching sun looked down on the earth, making people feel suffocatingly hot.

If it was a normal day, at this hour, the street would definitely be empty, with few pedestrians coming and going.

But today, the street is full of people, you squeeze me, I push you, shouting and pointing at something.

The air was full of the smell of sweat, it was extremely hot, and the noise in my ears made me dizzy...

Even so, no one left, as if watching a good show that must not be missed.

Mu Rujin was sitting helplessly on the hot ground, her beautiful face had no trace of blood, and her beautiful eyes were half-downcast in a daze.

Stinging words kept coming from my ears...

"It's shameless, such a woman should sink in the river!"

"Yes, he should be burned to death, but he is so shameless!"

"I didn't expect that such a good person as Master Mu would give birth to such a shameless daughter! What a pity..."

"Yeah, I didn't expect the governor to marry such a daughter-in-law."

They pointed at Mu Rujin one by one, as if the woman who was accused of stealing a man from her husband was her own daughter-in-law, and hated it extremely.

"Shameless woman, I'll kill you." Some woman yelled loudly, took an egg from her basket and threw it at Mu Rujin.

After a while, the people around followed the woman to see what useless or worthless things they had brought and threw them at Mu Rujin.

Suddenly, a huge stone flew towards Mu Rujin's forehead, and soon, bright red blood flowed down from her forehead, along her eyes, her nose, her mouth, until her neck ...

Mu Rujin didn't move at all, however, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and her half-drooped eyes slowly lifted up, sweeping towards the surrounding crowd with a piercing coldness.

For a moment, the people around stopped their voices, paused their movements, and looked at such a strange Mu Rujin in astonishment.

"Hahaha..." Mu Rujin suddenly raised her head and laughed again, that blood-stained face concealed its original beauty, making it look extremely terrifying...

On the attic of the street, a handsome man frowned at the scene downstairs.

"What's going on here?" The calm voice was obviously displeased.

The man with the sword beside him hastily cupped his hands: "Master, please go down and inquire about it."

The man waved his hand, keeping his eyes on the downstairs, Mu Rujin who happened to be facing him, those bloody eyes shot into his eyes, causing him a pain in his heart for no reason, such a familiar scene, this is often seen at midnight. Nightmare that haunts him.

Maybe he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, or he didn't dare to look at it anymore, the man quickly cast his eyes away, lowered his eyes, his handsome face showed a little pale.

After a while, the man with the sword returned to the attic and cupped his hands: "My lord, the woman downstairs is the second daughter of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, the Mu family. She married the eldest son of the governor of the south of the Yangtze River. .”

"Not a woman." The man repeated softly, but there was a little disdain in his tone.

Turning his eyes, he went to look at the woman downstairs, but saw that the woman was dragged away by several servants, and the common people followed behind.

"How are they going to deal with her?" The man withdrew his gaze and asked lightly.

"I heard from the people below that the governor's son has already written a letter of divorce, and Master Mu doesn't want the lintel to be humiliated, and will burn her to death later."

The man raised his eyes, stood up, and walked down to the attic, his snow-white brocade robe showed a beautiful arc.

The man with the sword took a piece of broken silver and put it on the table, and hurriedly followed.The owner of this teahouse is good at doing business, so he ignored the tea-drinking guests and went to watch the excitement, and there were only him and his master left in the teahouse.

The man in white came out of the attic, his phoenix eyes were slightly wrinkled, and the bloodshot eyes just now kept appearing in his mind, and his heart ached again for no reason.With a wave of his hand, he raised his eyes, a trace of gloom flashed, and he followed to the crowded place.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the crowd stopped, and stopped in front of a wooden frame, under which firewood was piled up, and oil was sprinkled on the wooden frame, as if they were about to burn Mu Rujin to death.

Mu Rujin was dragged to the wooden frame by the servants, who dragged her onto the wooden frame without any struggle, and was finally tied to the wooden frame.

The blood on his face had dried up, congealed into one piece... He opened his eyes, some blood clots fell, and looked at the crowd under the wooden frame with difficulty...

Her heart was full of sadness... It turned out that her father and mother were so ruthless that they wanted to burn her to death... and the husband she had been thinking about...

Mu Rujin... It's in vain for you to be conceited and gentle, but it's your youthful glory...

Nowadays no one believes you were framed...and no one sympathizes with you...there are only people who want you dead...

"No...no...no...you can't do this...Miss...Miss was framed..." A little maid rushed out from nowhere and grabbed the servant who was about to throw a torch on the wooden frame. Crying, shaking, shouting.

"Let go quickly." The servant was startled, fearing that the torch would burn him, he shouted loudly, trying to push the little girl away.

Seeing this, several other servants hurried forward to grab the little girl.

But the little girl was holding on to the servant's sleeve tightly, her eyes fixed on the torch in his hand, and she refused to let him throw the torch.

Seeing that he couldn't pull her away, a servant reached out, took the torch, and quickly threw it to the wooden frame.

In an instant, the firewood that had been doused with oil under the wooden frame burst into flames, and soon, the fire became more and more intense, rising higher and higher...

"No...Miss...Miss..." The little girl's eyes widened, and she wanted to rush towards the fire, but she was held back tightly by the servant.

Mu Rujin looked at the little girl, and clear tears overflowed from her empty eyes instantly. It turned out that there were still people who believed that she was framed, and that there were still people who cared about her life... There seemed to be a gleam of warmth in her cold heart, shaking her. Shaking his head, he shouted at the little girl: "An'er, don't come here..." But the hoarse throat made no sound... Only the bloody mouth closed and closed, accompanied by blood clots falling... …

"An'er, thank you...live well..." Mu Rujin's mouth was still closed, speaking silently...but no one heard her words...An'er was still struggling desperately under the fire, wanting to go To save his master, but there is no way, only tears and despair...

The servants guarding the fire frame were all expressionless, as if they didn't know the second young lady they once admired and loved... The people onlookers pointed their fingers. The person on the rack has committed a heinous crime...

The fire is getting bigger and bigger... "Squeak—" the wooden frame made a sound, and it was about to collapse...
