After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Chapter 209 Fire

Originally, when he saw that the general beside Lu Zhiran was the Third Prince Su Ye's man, he thought that there was finally hope of saving Lu Nian Yao.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was all in vain.

The two fell into silence, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air.

The moonlight outside the pavilion is like water, sprinkling on the window lattices, reflecting mottled light and shadows.

The night breeze gently blows the curtains, bringing a hint of coolness.

Lu Zhiran looked at Lu Yunqi's distraught appearance, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

There was a sense of pleasure in this, which made her realize that she still had expectations for Lu Yunqi. After all, if she hadn't had expectations of him anyway, she wouldn't have any complaints, and she wouldn't feel happy seeing him so distraught now.

Lu Zhiran tried his best to put aside the messy thoughts in his mind.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Brother, although I can't ask the Third Prince for mercy directly, Lu Nianyao is my sister after all. I will try my best to find a solution."

Lu Zhiran did not say anything definite to Lu Yunqi directly.

When Lu Yunqi heard this, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.

He knew that Lu Zhiran had done his best. He stood up and bowed deeply: "Zhiran, thank you very much."

"You're welcome, brother. I'll be back now!"

Lu Yunqi hummed.

Lu Zhiran returned to the banquet and continued to drink and eat with them. The celebration banquet ended in such a warm atmosphere.

After seeing off General Wu Da and the others, Lu Zhiran was already half drunk, so he went back to sleep!

……

The night was dark, and the sky was filled with ink. Star-like lights flickered in the distance. It should have been a peaceful night, but the tranquility was broken by the sudden fire in the Lin Mansion.

A raging flame rose from somewhere in the mansion and instantly swept across the entire night sky. The flames licked the eaves, heat waves rolled, and thick smoke filled the air.

Lu Zhiran was immersed in a dream when she was suddenly awakened by a burst of thick smoke. She coughed violently a few times.

She opened her eyes and saw that the room was filled with smoke and flames were jumping outside the window.

"Xiaoying! Xiaoying!" She called Xiaoying's name anxiously, but the only response she got was the blazing flames, the crackling sound of fire, and the choking smell of thick smoke.

Having drunk a lot of wine, Lu Zhiran was already moving slowly.

She got off the bed and sat on the ground.

Lu Zhiran's heart tightened, he got up from the ground, and hurriedly wanted to run out of the room, but he found that the door had been nailed shut from the outside at some point, and firelight was visible between the wooden boards. It was obvious that someone had done it on purpose.

Lu Zhiran's heart sank to the bottom, she knew that she couldn't escape at this moment.

She looked around and saw flames rising into the sky, thick smoke billowing, and heat waves pressing in. Her clothes had been splashed with sparks, burning several small holes, and her skin was burned painfully.

Lu Zhiran kicked the door hard, but it wouldn't open.

In the end, Lu Zhiran completely lost his strength.

She sat on the ground in despair, tears streaming down her cheeks.

Could it be that I am really going to die here today?

When he thought that he might die, Lu Zhiran felt an endless sadness in his heart.

Why is it that this life is shorter than the previous one?

Is it because she has done too many evil things?

God punish her!

But the thing is, she didn't do anything bad!

Lu Zhiran racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.

Just when Lu Zhiran was about to give up hope, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps.

She looked up and saw a figure breaking into the door. It was Siqi. He was wearing a black suit, with a stern face and a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Seeing Lu Zhiran, a trace of worry flashed in Si Qi's eyes, but he was not idle with his words.

"Madam, why are you so embarrassed?"

At this time, I still have the mood to tease Lu Zhiran.

Lu Zhiran looked really miserable now. Her light-colored dress was stained black, her face was covered in sweat, and her hair was messy, just like a gray kitten.

When she saw him, her big eyes, which always looked down on her in the past, now stared at him blankly, as if she were stupid.

Si Qi waited for a while and didn't ask Lu Zhiran to speak.

Finally, he lost patience and said, "If you don't want to die, give me your hand."

Lu Zhiran stretched out her hand, and the next second Si Qi grabbed it and pulled her up. Lu Zhiran put almost all her weight on Si Qi, and Si Qi took her and rushed out the door.

However, the fire had already spread to the door, and the wooden boards were burned red, threatening to collapse at any time.

Seeing this, Siqi did not hesitate to use his body to ram the wooden door.

With a loud bang, the wooden door was finally broken open, but Siqi was knocked to the ground, blood oozing from his forehead, staining his cheeks red.

"Siqi!" Lu Zhiran exclaimed, and finally reacted. She quickly helped him up.

However, the fire was approaching and they had to leave immediately.

Why is this guy so crazy? He thinks he is an iron man!

He actually dared to use his body to collide with this burning hot wooden board.

Si Qi struggled to stand up, holding Lu Zhiran's hand, and the two staggered out.

The flames chased them madly, and the heat and smoke almost suffocated them. But they did not give up, because they knew that if they held on a little longer, they could escape from the sea of ​​fire.

Finally, after a difficult struggle, they rushed out of the sea of ​​fire and came out of the mansion.

At this moment, they were ragged and covered in dust, but their eyes were shining with joy of surviving the disaster.

"Thank you, Siqi." Lu Zhiran looked at the man in front of him, his heart full of gratitude.

She knew that if he had not appeared in time, she would probably have died in the fire.

Si Qi shook his head and said calmly: "You don't want to die, I will provide shelter for anyone who dies!"

Although his voice was calm, his eyes revealed his deep concern for Lu Zhiran.

At this moment, Lu Zhiran felt that Si Qi was not a bad guy.

Lu Zhiran looked around.

Because General Wu Da arrived back in time, most people were rescued.

Xiaoying simply drank too much and passed out.

Fortunately, she fainted outside and when she was picked up, her body was not burned and she survived.

Lu Zhiran stood outside the mansion, looking at the Lin Mansion in the fire, with a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

This fire came so strangely.

There must be someone behind this, could it be the head of the Lin family?

Since he couldn't get it, he might as well burn down the entire Lin Mansion.

"Mrs. Fu, the fire is too big and cannot be put out!" Seeing that his men had rescued almost all the people who needed to be rescued in the mansion, General Wu Da came to Lu Zhiran and said apologetically.

He shouldn't have left tonight.

Otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.

Lu Zhiran shook his head, looking a little tired.

"It's not the general's fault. No one expected this fire to come so suddenly!"

"There must be a conspiracy!"
