Chapter 159: Whoever Plays With Fire Will Get Burnt (1)

“Why is there so much smoke here? What happened?” A confused exclamation was heard from behind, which was quite familiar to Murong Rou.

Murong Rou was frozen, and slowly turned around to find the speaker, only to see an old lady wearing a sapphire five longevity pattern sleeved over-dress and dark blue jade headband. It was the old Lady Song of Wu’an Marquis Mansion. She came up hurriedly surrounded by maids and nannies.

Looking at the blazing fire, the smoky pavilion, and the three flaming people who kept rolling in the fire, old Lady Song suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed with shock, “Tianwen…Bai…”

Murong Rou laughed grimly. Bai? Seemed they were already very close! It turned out that she had long known that Song Tianwen had a mistress and secretly gave birth to an illegitimate child. But she not only didn’t tell Murong Rou but also being so close with the bastard behind her back. She and Song Tianwen were completely the same birds of a feather. They acted in collusion and kept Murong Rou in the dark for nine years.

“Why are you standing here in a daze? Go and save them!” The old lady Song snapped the orders, her eyes flashing with anxiety and worry.

“Yes, yes, yes …” Like waking up from a dream, the maids and nannies hurried to the pavilion…

Song Tianwen knew all the disgraceful things she had done. If he survived, it would be her to strike a bad patch.

Murong Rou’s eyes flashed like lightning, and she stepped forward, blocking the way, “No one is allowed to approach the pavilion…”

“Madam!” Maids and nannies stopped and looked at Murong Rou in surprise. Why was she here?

“Murong Rou!” old Lady Song was also taken aback, flames flashing from the corner of her eyes. Suddenly, an idea scratched her head, she gnashed her teeth and said, “Did you set the fire?”

“No!” Murong Rou lied, remaining calm.

“Then why are you blocking the way? Get out of here immediately, for heaven’s sake, the fire is going to kill Tianwen!” Old Lady Song thundered angrily.

Murong Rou disagreed, “His lord is dying. Even if he is rescued, he will not live long. The fire in the pavilion is so strong that maids and nannies will definitely be burned if they rush in. It is not worth sacrificing so many people’s lives for a person who will die.”

“Shut up. Tianwen is the Wu’an Marquis, the lord of the mansion. These maids and the nannies are all his servants. They deserved their fates even if they were all burnt for him. Get out of the way!” old Lady Song snapped angrily and glared at the maids and nannies, “go and save lives!”

“Yes!” They nodded and rushed forward hastily. As they were going to cross Murong Rou, the latter rushed to the pavilion.

Murong Rou suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and waved it wildly, “Stay away, or I’ll kill whoever comes in!”

The dagger was extremely sharp and stained with dried blood. It wielded back and forth rapidly among those maids and nannies. The faint scent of blood haunted the tip of the noses and made everyone shudder.

Old Lady Song was furious, “Murong Rou, how dare you do this…”

“Yes, I dare.” Murong Rou’s harsh voice thundered, barging her way through the crowd of the servants with a sharp dagger, cold lights flashed by.

These maids and nannies had lived in the inner residence for a long time and had never seen such a scene before. They were scrambling to dodge and did not know what to do. The front of the garden fell into chaos for an instant.

Old Lady Song looked at them with most gloomy countenance. How could so many people fail to control just one Murong Rou? What a bunch of fools!

With a loud “crack”, the pillars of the pavilion was burnt down and would soon smash down. In a flash of light, Old Lady Song stepped forward quickly, grasped Murong Rou’s wrist tightly, grabbed the dagger with all her strength, and sternly ordered the servants, “I’ll deal with Murong Rou, you save people!”

“Yes, yes…” Finally, there was no obstacle in front of them, they covered with water-soaked quilts, ran across the heavy flames and rushed into the pavilion. Song Tianwen, Jing’er, and Bai were found in the thick smoke and were dragged out of the pavilion…

The moment they stepped out of the pavilion, they only heard the sound of “boom”. The pavilion collapsed, and the heat wave made their cheeks ache and also dazzled their eyes.

The fire had been extinguished. Murong Rou looked back and saw the three lying in front of the pavilion, with their eyes closed and their whole body black. She could not recognize whether they were dead or alive.

Song Tianwen was lucky to be able to come out of the pavilion alive. No matter whether he was dead or alive, she must give him another fatal wound to make sure he die thoroughly and could no longer reveal her secret!

Murong Rou’s eyes became fierce. She kicked old Lady Song in front of her severely, holding the dagger, and rushed toward Song Tiawen.

Old Lady Song was caught off guard. She was displaced four or five steps back and squatted on the ground with a thud. Her body was as painful as her whole bones broken. She was pale and while pointing at Murong Rou, she ordered the servants, “Stop her…”

“Yes!” The maids and nannies immediately gathered around Murong Rou at the command. They dragged Murong Rou’s legs and arms and trapped her.

“Fuck off…” Murong Rou’s harsh voice thundered. She desperately struggling with them, but could not break their besiege, and her dagger fell to the ground…

Old Lady Song breathed a long sigh of relief. Looking at the three not sure whether alive or dead, she said urgently, “Go and get a doctor!”

“Madam, please rest assured. Someone has already done it!” Her maidservant answered softly, squatted down and touched the necks of the three injured one after another, with a hint of heaviness at the bottom of her eyes.

Old Lady Song’s eyelids jumped and her heart felt a bad premonition, “how are they?”

“Madam, Jing’er and Bai are not breathing, but his lord is still alive …” With the low-pitched reply was heard in her ears, Old Lady Song only felt a loud bang and she was stunned. Her grandson, the lovely grandson who was already eight years old, had died like this…

Murong Rou, she did all these!

Old Lady Song’s eyes like sharp arrows, mercilessly shot Murong Rou, “Drag her down, and beat her hard…”

“I’m pregnant, are you sure you want to beat me up?” Murong interrupted with a cold and calm tone, turning up her nose at her!

“You sure?” Old Lady Song was skeptical. After giving birth to Qingyan, Murong Rou never brought any good news. And now she was pregnant?

“Doctor Li from the Imperial Academy of Medicine confirmed the diagnosis. If you don’t believe me, you can ask another doctor to take my pulse!” Murong Rou said coldly, the corners of her eyes and brows all showed a proud look.

She was now pregnant with the only male of the eldest branch of the Song family. Even if she made a big mistake, for the sake of the child, Old Lady Song would not dare to do anything to her!

It was with this that she dared to attack Song Tianwen without fear under the eyes of the public. Compared to a half-dead son, a lively grandson, of course, was more important. As long as the child was in her belly, Old Lady Song would not want her to die.
