Chapter 368 The old scene reappears
In the Prince's Mansion, Xie Zihan was lying on the bed, while Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi stood beside him, watching Lu Jinxuan apply medicine to him.
Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi looked at each other and quickly looked away.
Although the two of them could apply medicine to Xie Zihan, they are no longer the same as before and are no longer willing to fight to the death for him.
They looked down at their bulging bellies, and the corners of their lips gradually curled up.
The longer they spent with Xie Zihan, the less they desired his favor.
Now that they are pregnant, they will have someone to rely on in the future, so they just need to give birth to the child with peace of mind.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the two people were startled and came back to their senses instantly.
Xie Zihan glared at Lu Jinxuan: "Bitch, do you want to hurt me to death?"
Lu Jinxuan said in panic: "My... my cousin..."
"Get out, get out of here." Xie Zihan yelled.
Lu Jinxuan pursed her lips, her eyes filled with tears, and she stared at Xie Zihan intently.
Hasn't she done enough?
Ever since Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi both got pregnant, Xie Zihan took out all his dissatisfaction on himself.
Even if I cried and begged for mercy, he would not let me go.
But he was obviously extremely gentle and considerate to Guizhi and Shen Jinghuan, so why was it that when it came to herself, there was only torture?
The moment the tears fell, Lu Jinxuan turned and ran out.
Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi turned around and left together, as if they had discussed it beforehand.
They are in heavy condition now and can't help much even here. It would be better for them to go back to their own yard and rest and take care of their pregnancies.
After leaving Xie Zihan's room, the two of them remained silent all the way until they reached a fork in the road. Shen Jinghuan almost fell down, and Guizhi hurriedly helped her up. After she stood firm, the two of them left.
Guizhi held the note in her hand and quickly returned to her courtyard.
Looking at the words above, my thoughts are wandering.
Guizhi still remembered how much she hated Shen Jinghuan when she first entered the Prince's Mansion. Whenever she had some free time, she would keep making trouble for her, causing her to be disliked by Xie Zihan.
But since when, although the hatred was unforgettable to her, it seemed to become less important compared to the children.
Although her sister's revenge was not taken, Shen Jinghuan lost her first child because of her arrangement.
If it were in the past, Guizhi would have found it difficult to get rid of the hatred in her heart.
But since she became pregnant, she finally realized that Shen Jinghuan's loss of the child at that time might be more painful than her death.
Now the two of them have joined forces and are barely making ends meet in the Prince's Mansion, and that is enough.
Guizhi clenched the letter in her hand, called the maid beside her, and asked her to take the letter to the clinic.
She had just laid down on the couch when the yard became chaotic. She was so frightened that she quickly got up and walked out.
"Fire... Fire..."
There were constant shouting in the yard. Guizhi stood at the door of the room, staring nervously at the people coming and going in the distance.
Seeing thick smoke billowing in the distance, Guizhi hesitated and stepped forward, stopped a man and asked, "Where is the fire?"
"The Crown Princess's courtyard." After the servant said this, he hurriedly ran away.
Seeing this, Guizhi followed the servant towards Lu Jinxuan's yard.
When Shen Jinghuan arrived at Lu Jinxuan's yard, Guizhi had just stopped.
"Why did it catch fire?"
"I don't know."
The servants and guards of the Prince's Mansion rushed to put out the fire, but they did not see Lu Jinxuan coming out of the room.
Shen Jinghuan hurriedly grabbed someone and said, "Where's the Crown Princess? Have you seen the Crown Princess?"
The guard shook his head: "Not yet."
Guizhi hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and send someone to rescue the Crown Princess and see if she is in the room."
Shen Jinghuan couldn't help but secretly curse these servants for being useless. Why didn't they rescue Lu Jinxuan while the fire was small? When the fire got bigger and bigger, how could she still be rescued?
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Jinxuan's maid helped her out from the back of the house.
Seeing Lu Jinxuan's clothes disheveled and her body dirty, the two of them watched quietly without saying anything.
The two of them knew Lu Jinxuan's temper very well, and they tried their best to avoid meeting her on weekdays.
Now that they are here and their identities are there, Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi cannot leave immediately.
When Xie Zihan was carried over, Lu Jinxuan's yard had been burned to nothing.
He looked at the scene in front of him, and vaguely remembered the day when the warehouse was burned down. It was just like this at this time, and the fire could not be put out no matter what.
The warehouse was burned down to the ground, and now the location is still vacant.
The more Xie Zihan looked, the uglier his expression became.
He stared at Lu Jinxuan and gritted his teeth, "Are you angry with me, Crown Princess? Are you angry that I slapped you, and you burned the yard?"
Lu Jinxuan looked at him in shock: "Cousin, it's not like that..."
Xie Zihan didn't listen to her continue, because the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this fire was very similar to the last one.
Whether it was the intensity of the fire or the appearance after the fire was extinguished, they were exactly the same.
Xie Zihan suddenly looked at Lu Jinxuan: "This time, the Crown Princess set the fire because I slapped you. I want to know what happened last time?"
"The last time the storeroom and study caught fire, why did you do that?"
He knew that Lu Jinxuan didn't like him, and he also knew that she didn't want to marry him, but he didn't expect that Lu Jinxuan would viciously burn down the warehouse.
Most of the silver, money and treasures in the Prince's Mansion were stored in the warehouse, but she burned them all in one fire.
"Cousin, I didn't. I didn't do it."
Xie Zihan seemed certain that it was her who did it and refused to listen to her explanation at all.
"Come here, the Crown Princess set fire without permission. Not only did she burn down the storehouse, she also burned down her own yard."
"Since she refuses to admit it, give her thirty lashes of the cane and make her live in the woodshed from now on."
Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi looked at Xie Zihan in shock, and at the same time they became more certain of what they were thinking.
Xie Zihan is indeed ruthless.
Lu Jinxuan is not only Xie Zihan's Crown Princess, but also his cousin. How could he be so cruel to punish her like this?
Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi believed that if they made a big mistake one day, Xie Zihan would never forgive them.
Xie Zihan watched Lu Jinxuan being beaten with a stick, and watched the servants lock Lu Jinxuan in the woodshed before leaving.
Shen Jinghuan and Guizhi looked at each other and returned to their own yard.
The Prince's Mansion became quiet again, but Shen Jingxuan's room was unusually lively.
Ling Huan excitedly recounted the events of the Prince's Mansion, causing Ling Yu to feel envious.
"Why don't you wait for me? I'll come back and go with you."
The two looked at him strangely, turned their heads away and ignored him.
At the same time, the Prime Minister's Mansion also received news of a fire in the Prince's Mansion and Lu Jinxuan being beaten with a stick.
Lu Zhong held the letter in his hand and said angrily: "He really showed no mercy. He clearly knew that she was his sister."
The Prime Minister's wife sat quietly aside, as if she hadn't heard anything, and stared into the distance without saying a word.
Although she was a lady in the harem, she had been married to Lu Zhong for many years and knew him very well.
Now that he can bring up this matter in front of me without any scruples, he must have nothing to fear.
