Concubine's true colors

Chapter 74

Water and fire are ruthless, and anyone with some common sense understands the truth of this.

So when Xiao Jinxuan followed Xiao Yijun and rushed back to the Small Buddha Hall, it has now turned into a raging fire.

Countless black smoke poured out from inside, and even the two pillars in front of the door are now on fire. If the pillars fall down, the Buddhist hall will collapse immediately.

Seeing the critical situation, Xiao Yijun rushed in without saying a word, but fortunately, Xiao Jinxuan who was on the side had quick eyesight and quick hands, and caught him in one go.

Being blocked like this, Xiao Yijun looked at Xiao Jinxuan in confusion, not knowing that this new little cousin hurriedly refused to let him in.

"Jinxuan, why are you dragging me? If you don't go in, Jinyu must be in danger."

Xiao Jinxuan sighed inwardly, but luckily she followed, otherwise this stunned young man would really do something stupid. She looked up at the Buddhist hall that was emitting black smoke, and she patiently explained.

"Second cousin, look at the smoke inside, just rush in like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my sister-in-law, and we'll have to faint in it and be burned to death together."

While speaking, Xiao Jinxuan had already taken off her cloak, and then walked to the courtyard, approaching the big tank used to raise water lilies in summer, looking into the tank, she saw a lot of muddy sewage inside.

Seeing the sewage, Xiao Jinxuan was overjoyed, she guessed right, this spring, the snow accumulated in the tank for the whole winter has also melted into water, and now it is convenient for her to use.

Throwing the cloak into the jar, after it was completely soaked, Xiao Jinxuan tore it in two, not too dirty, and wrapped it around her nose and mouth without being delicate.

Seeing this, Xiao Yijun's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and he followed suit, covering himself quickly, and then the two rushed into the fire scene one after the other.

As soon as he entered, Xiao Yijun snorted inwardly. He covered his mouth and nose now, but the smell of smoke still made him cough unceasingly. He thought in his heart, if Xiao Jinxuan wasn't by his side, if he rushed in, it would be true. More bad luck than good luck.

Xiao Jinxuan had injuries on her body, she struggled to avoid the fire, led Xiao Yijun to the small side room, in front of the locked door, and signaled to him that Xiao Jinyu was inside.

Nodding his head, Xiao Yijun expressed that he understood, but when he looked at the lock on the door, he was in trouble, and hurriedly looked around for the key, and was about to open the door.

At this moment, there was a bang, and the bookshelves of scriptures in the small Buddhist hall were burnt and fell down. Looking at Xiao Yijun, who was still looking for the key, Xiao Jinxuan complained secretly in her heart, and it turned out that the other party was a stupefied piece of wood.

Removed the wet cloth between her mouth and nose, she shouted loudly: "Second Brother, don't look for it anymore, kick the door open quickly, or we will all burn to death here later."

Xiao Yijun, who was looking for the key on the ground with his waist down, slapped his forehead angrily when he heard this, and cursed himself for being confused, why is his head always not enough.

Nodding to Xiao Jinxuan, he took a few steps back, then swooped towards the wooden door, raised his foot, and kicked the door down neatly.

Xiao Jinxuan had already prepared for this result. This second elder brother was born with supernatural powers in his previous life. He could swing a hammer at the age of five, and he could chop a tiger to death with his bare hands at the age of nine. If the other party hadn't been brainless and would not be flexible, he would have broken the door with brute force earlier. , It is estimated that they can all escape by this time.

The moment the wooden door was opened, a puff of black smoke thicker than that in the small Buddhist hall immediately came out.

It's no wonder, don't look at the fire in the small Buddhist hall, but the doors and windows can be ventilated after all, and there is no window in this side room, and the door is closed tightly, the smoke can only come in and out, naturally it is more smokey than outside. Strong and pungent.

After being smoked by the smoke, both Xiao Jinxuan and Xiao Jinxuan felt like stars were popping up in front of their eyes. Enduring the discomfort, they approached the small side room, and soon discovered Xiao Jinyu's master and servant who were huddled in the corner.

Looking at Xiao Jinyu's tear-stained face, frowning, and unconscious appearance, the corner of Xiao Jinxuan's mouth twitched into a sneer.

This sister-in-law, who has been cared for all the time, would never have dreamed that she would be surrounded by the fire one day. Afterwards, the other party would have to have nightmares for a while.

Xiao Jinxuan, who was tormented by hatred and was about to go crazy, felt an inexplicable pleasure at this moment, which made her tremble with excitement.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, her behavior was extreme, and she even plotted against everyone for revenge.

But those who have never experienced all the suffering she experienced in her previous life cannot understand what kind of wounded and bloody heart lies behind her crazy revenge and cold-blooded ruthlessness.

At this time, the fire in the Buddhist hall became even bigger, and Xiao Yijun's advantage was now revealed.

He carried Baoge on his shoulder, stretched out his hand and hugged Xiao Jinyu into his arms, without needing Xiao Jinxuan's help, he walked out very easily.

It was almost a few of them who ran out of the small Buddhist hall. When they stood in the courtyard, there was a bang behind them. The pillars on the side of the Buddhist hall collapsed, and the door was completely crushed. If they came out late Half a step, they are afraid that they are really going to be in danger.

Then the old lady and a group of people who rushed over saw them coming out, and quickly surrounded them.

When she saw Xiao Jinyu, who looked like she had passed out, the always steady old lady burst into tears.

"My poor Yu'er, don't scare grandma, wake up, please take a look at grandma, grandma is here."

When she cried, people around rushed to comfort her, but the old lady would not listen. She called Xiao Jinyu for a long time, but the other party didn't wake up, she was completely anxious.

Pointing at Aunt Jin Chuan, she ordered: "Hurry up and take the Black Tiger Token, and go to the palace to find the imperial doctor. You must be quick. My Yu'er will have a good life, and the old lady will die."

Xiao Jinyu's biological mother's surname is Bai, she is of the same clan as the old lady, and she is her own niece, so for Xiao Jinyu, this granddaughter who is half of the Bai family's blood, she holds it in her mouth for fear of melting, holds it in her hands for fear of falling, He has been with her since she was a baby, and has been raising her for 15 years, and now she is reluctant to marry her off.

So Xiao Jinyu was injured, and the old lady's heart seemed to be gouged out, and the ensuing anger was unprecedentedly strong.

Seeing that after she gave Jin Chuan an order, her eyes widened, she snorted coldly, and looked angrily at the group of people in front of her.

"Yu'er was injured today. No one in the small Buddhist hall can get rid of the responsibility. Now go back to the front hall with me. I must find out today to see who dared to hurt my Yu'er!"

What she said was obvious. This is a major investigation into today's affairs. For a while, everyone was panicked, for fear that they would be involved and cause trouble.

After the old lady gave the order, all the people gathered in the front hall within half a stick of incense, and sat down in silence, no one dared to open their mouths or say a word.

Xiao Jinxuan's current wound was simply bandaged up by Xiao Yijun just now, and now she is sitting at the bottom calmly, as if everything has nothing to do with her.

This scene fell into Xiao Jinke's eyes, which made her very angry, but now she was very uneasy, why the other party was not afraid at all, gritted her teeth, and she stood up abruptly.

After taking a few steps to the center of the living room, Xiao Jinke knelt down and looked at the old lady pitifully.

"Grandmother, today's incident was indeed caused by Ke'er, but Ke'er only heard that a new younger sister came to the house, so she went to the Small Buddha Hall to get closer to each other, but who would have thought that sister Xuan would know After my mother was the Qian family, she misunderstood that I was looking for trouble for her, no matter how I explained, she would not listen, and threw the candlestick at me, which caught fire and killed the second cousin."

Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting by the side, laughed out loud when she heard this.

"Jinke, what you said is not right. If it's what you said, then why did you still chase after Jinxuan after the incident, and even hurt her with a candlestick. If the old lady wasn't there, I think you killed her." Heart, I guess they all have it."

When Xiao Jinke asked this question, her face turned pale, she didn't know how to answer, after all, the incident happened under the watchful eyes of the public, and it wasn't her justifying a few words that could turn black and white.

But Mrs. Qian, sitting first on the right hand side, couldn't make her daughter suffer, so she immediately spoke out and got into a fight with Mrs. Zhao.

"Sister-in-law said that it seems that you saw it with your own eyes. If Ke'er chased Jinxuan, she must have seen the fire, and she was afraid that the other party would cause trouble. As an older sister, it is only natural to restrain her sister. As for hurting Jinxuan , In my opinion, it was just an accident, and she couldn’t scream anymore, Ke’er might just want to scare the other party, Jinxuan herself is stupid and can’t avoid it, so what does it have to do with my Ke’er.”

What Qian said made no sense at all. Xiao Yijun, who was sitting next to Zhao, frowned after hearing this.

Taking a look at Xiao Jinxuan who was still sitting quietly with her head bowed, he felt that this fourth cousin was really pitiful.

Seeing Xiao Yijun standing up, he said with a sneer: "Aunt San, according to what you mean, is it because I slashed at Cousin Jinke with a knife, if she couldn't escape and died, the responsibility is not on me, but on San My sister is stupid and can't hide from the knife, and my nephew is stupid, so I don't know if this understanding is correct."

The first room and the third room had always been at odds, and Xiao Yijun was a straight-hearted person, so what he said was suffocating. When Qian Shi heard the words, she was so angry that she couldn't help but coughed, but she didn't dare to take the words. talk.

Because of Xiao Yijun's hand, it will already be on the saber, as if Qian Shi dared to say "yes", and he would really chop Xiao Jinke with a knife.

With Xiao Yijun's impulsive and reckless character, Qian Shi really didn't dare to provoke the other party and risked his daughter, so he stood there for a while, not knowing how to get back the words.

A look of helplessness flashed in the old lady's eyes, she couldn't figure out why this second grandson was speaking for Xiao Jinxuan, although she didn't like Mrs Zhao, but Dafang's two grandsons had always been outstanding, she was very pleased.

Not wanting to watch Xiao Yijun come in, the old lady didn't answer their words, and looked directly at Xiao Jinxuan.

"Come here, fourth girl. Since your third sister said that you caused the fire, I would like to know what you have to say about it."

If Xiao Jinyu hadn't happened, after Xiao Jinke's words, even if it was a lie, the old lady would have taken it as the truth, and then sent Xiao Jinxuan directly, and kicked this unsightly granddaughter out of the handsome mansion.

But now that her favorite granddaughter is implicated, how can the old lady be reconciled if she doesn't know the truth, not to mention the scene where Xiao Jinxuan took the initiative to save people just now left a deep impression on the old lady.

Anyway, there were so many people present at the time, and Xiao Jinxuan was the only one who was willing to go with Xiao Yijun to save people, and the old lady was very satisfied with this.

So this meeting is looking at Xiao Jinxuan, it is rare for her to be pleasing to the eye, so she is willing to listen to what Xiao Jinxuan has to say, instead of just blindly believing Xiao Jinke's words.

When Xiao Jinxuan heard the words, she stepped forward calmly and knelt down in front of the old lady.

Then she pointed at Xiao Jinke, and said without hesitation: "Grandmother, what the third sister said just now is all lying to you. She set the fire in the small Buddhist hall, and even the door of the first sister's side room was given by her." It's locked, if it wasn't like this, Jinxuan could have dragged my sister and escaped together."
