It had started to rain again Ning Xiaoyao peered up at the skies, where a previously fine drizzle had suddenly turned into a torrential downpour “Ah, ah!” Ning Xiaoyao splashed happily in the storm as she clapped her hands “With this heavy rain, the fires will stop for sure!”
It wasn’t just Ning Xiaoyao as celebrating Many of the people present ere about to watch their houses burn doere currently thanking the Heavens for its life saving rain Lou Zigui picked up the happily soaked Ning Xiaoyao and flipped her onto his horse before kicking it into a gallop while heading towards the palace
Ning Xiaoyao said, “Are we going back just like this?”
“Wait and see,” Lou Zigui bent forward asrain
Ning Xiaoyao ran her fingers over the snoolf cub’s furry head before asking curiously, “What are aiting for?”
“To see what Xie Wenyuan will do next after all of this,” Lou Zigui murmured “And to see how much he can endure”
Ning Xiaoyao autoui’s words in her head toGrand Preceptor Xie’s limits
“Xie Anshi+ was the one who uaranteed that Xie Wenyuan will seek revenge for him”
“Seriously?!” Ning Xiaoyao couldn’t quite believe it Grand Preceptor Xie could tolerate a lot of things, but this was his own blood related son they were talking about
“The ui replied “He can do as s in secret as he wants, but on the surface he still has to be Xie Wenyuan, a noble and righteous gentleman”
Ning Xiaoyao switched over to scratching Big Boss Black’s head instead until the cat scratched her “Why don’t you just co?” She withdrew her scratched hand from the fluffy tubby
“If it were any day before today, he could still shi+ft the blalanced at Ning Xiaoyao’s injured hand before rapping his knuckles against Big Boss Black’s head “But now, nobody will believe hiainst you”
“Right,” Ning Xiaoyao rapped her fingers against Big Boss Black’s head as well “He fraain? It’s not like I’m a ninny!”
Lou Zigui sighed despondently over her train of thought What does being framed once or twice have to do hether or not you’re a ninny?
“Then I’ll stop worrying about hi Xiaoyao raised a hand to play with the raindrops “I’ll sit and wait until the Grand Preceptor dies from heartbreak”
Lou Zigui held Ning Xiaoyao a little tighter Another good point about this girl was her generous heart Even if Xie Wenyuan sought revenge, he’d aiees They were too far beneath him
“I think the refugees have great rebellious spirits,” Ning Xiaoyao re for just causes exist here”
“Don’t speak nonsense,” Lou Zigui tapped the top of Ning Xiaoyao’s head with his chin “What ‘ar for just causes?’ Those are all just rebels”
Ning Xiaoyao shut her e their way into the capital and make the head of the peasants their emperor, no one will call the forward that much to the end of your country? o(╯□╰)o)
While Lou Zigui was bringing Ning Xiaoyao back to the palace, Lady wang had already cried herself unconscious and woken up anew back at the Grand Preceptor’s estate Now she was clutching Grand Preceptor Xie’s sleeves as she sobbed loudly, “Grand Preceptor, you can’t forgive the ones who hurt my Anshi+!”
Grand Preceptor Xie sat in the corridor where the red paper lanterns shone on his forehead as they shook in the strong winds The flickering light mixed with the stortossed about in the wind It was as if a single mistake would sink his shi+p beneath the waves forever
The door to the rooms opened just then, and an old, white-haired doctor strode out Lady wang released Grand Preceptor Xie’s sleeve and cried out, “How is it?”
The old doctor bent forward ande to preserve his life”
“And if not?” Lady wang asked worriedly
The old doctor re a word His silence was obvious—if Xie Anshi+ didn’t get past the fever, he would die Lady wang collapsed on the ground When two of her servants went forward to help up her, she shoved them aside
“Nothing can happen to Anshi+,” Lady wang cried to Grand Preceptor Xie “So happen to Anshi+ as well?”
“Grand Preceptor,” a steward ran towards them with a report “General Chen Lu is here”
Grand Preceptor Xie rose to leave, but Lady wang dragged him back “This consort wishes to see Chen Lu, too,” Lady wang sobbed “This consort wants to know just as the one who hurt my son!”
Grand Preceptor Xie creased his brows before finally relenting “Bring him over here”
The steward soon brought Chen Lu into the courtyard Lady wang had already been helped to a seat by Grand Preceptor Xie, her swollen eyes still floith tears like a burst dareeted the couple
“Have you found Tao Chen and his wife?” Grand Preceptor Xie asked after he straightened up
Chen Lu gave an aard glance in the direction of Lady wang Grand Preceptor Xie explained, “Tao Chen’s wife is our daughter, so my ill have to endure the news even if she can’t bear it Just say it outright”
Chen Lu’s head drooped at Grand Preceptor Xie’s explanation “There were no survivors from the Tao Estate His Excellency Tao and family weren’t at home, but this soldier asked around and found out that they were—that they had been killed off in the streets outside the estate by the refugees”
Grand Preceptor Xie’s eyes flashed at the news Lady wang grew dazed before she trilled, “All four members of the family are confirmed to have died?”
“Yes,” Chen Lu couldn’t bring himself to offer condolences for their loss, and only nodded his head Lady wang clutched her chest as her breathing quickened The rain poured down in torrents as everyone in the courtyard remained mute
A long tionized sob that was more akin to a primal howl
“Take your ladyshi+p back,” Grand Preceptor Xie ordered the servants present expressionlessly The two fe Twoher out of her chair
“I’ absolutely mad “Tell me, who did it to my boy?!”
