Chapter 185 Never Relent
Liang's last words shocked Zian.
In order to protect her family, she was mistreated by Ximen Xiaoyue.
If she died in anyone's hands, Zi'an would not soften her heart, but when she heard this sentence, she inexplicably thought of the original owner Xia Zi'an.
The original owner, Xia Zi'an, had hatred in her heart. This hatred and heartache was because she was hurt by her beloved father. She had been waiting with all her heart and soul, waiting for her father to look back at her, but in the end, the catastrophe came. .
The injury of a loved one is the deadliest.
So, she climbed down along the silk and satin again, tied her with silk and satin, and took the two chickens out by the way in order to hide her desire to save her.
The process of rescuing Mrs. Liang was arduous, because the fire was already so intense that it almost burned the silk. At the last moment, it was Zian who held her back with his hands so that she would not fall into the flames.
However, the last moment was also very dangerous. Zian's feet hooked a crumbling log on the roof of the house. If she fell back, there would be no salvation.
Of course, Zi'an didn't dare to say this, but this life-saving grace made Liang's heart always.
Su Qing suddenly remembered, "How could there be a fire in the new house?"
Zian shook his head, "I don't know, probably the flames blown past."
"Blowing so far? There is still a distance between the new house and the side house." Su Qing thought it was impossible.
"Then I don't know. Maybe the bride was hungry and had nothing to eat, so she had to burn something in the room and accidentally set fire to the new house."
Su Qing suddenly understood, and screamed strangely, "Are you still free to set fire to the new house? Then how long have you been escaping? You see us rushing in to rescue you like a fool?"
Murong Jie's expression darkened all of a sudden, and he stood up and said, "Su Qing, Xiao Tuo, let's stop drinking this wine, I can't bear it, people will treat us as fools!"
Murong Zhuangzhuang glanced at Su Qing with blame, "You have a big mouth."
Su Qing also looked very angry, "Isn't that right? I already escaped, why didn't I come here earlier to report safety? It made us wander around in the fire scene like fools, but she was nice, and she went there triumphantly. Set a fire to burn the bride, what about playing?"
"Xiao Tuo, say something!" Murong Zhuang Zhuang sighed and asked Xiao Tuo for help.
Xiao Tuo let out a dumbfounded sigh, then looked at Zi'an and said, "You really shouldn't, the prince risked his life to save you, but you hid, how unkind? Do you know how dangerous it is in a fire scene? The roof is about to collapse, if Su Qing hadn’t dragged him away, he would have been buried in flames right now.”
"Shut up, get out!" Murong Zhuangzhuang glared at him, "Is it so serious? Didn't people come out before the house collapsed? What nonsense?"
Xiao Tuo was stunned for a moment, "I'm really a stranger inside and out, didn't the princess let me speak?"
Zi'an really didn't expect Murong Jie to rush in to save her so nervously, she didn't appear so fast, firstly, she wanted to settle Liang Shi well, and secondly, she also wanted to teach Ximen Xiaoyue a lesson, she never thought that Murong Jie would risk his life to save her.
Zian walked up to the livid Murong Jie, and said softly, "My lord, can I take a step to speak?"
Murong Jie said with a cold expression, "Do you still want to hide to laugh at me?"
Zi An's eyes were full of apology, "Just say a few words."
"There's nothing to say." Murong Jie left with a cold face.
Zian became anxious and rushed over to grab his sleeve, "Don't go, I have something to show you."
"Look here!" Murong Jie said coldly.
Zian looked at him, "Is it right here?"
"That's right!" Murong Jie let out a roar, with anger on his face.
Zi'an took a step back and began to slowly untie his coat. He said with a flat mouth, "When I climbed up to the beam just now, I burned my chest. Look..."
Before her clothes were unbuttoned, Murong Jie dragged her out like a whirlwind, and then quickly entered the next door, her boudoir.
Immediately, the pupils raised violent anger, pulled the clothes on her chest, and said sharply: "With your little material, how can you show off in front of so many people? You don't think it's embarrassing for others."
Zian blinked, "Although there is no material, she is still a woman."
"Get out!" Murong Jie stared at her, the urge to strangle her to death just outside the fire scene rose again.
Zian pulled him to sit down, and said solemnly, "I'm sorry!"
Murong Jie said coldly: "I don't accept it!"
"You should say it's okay." Zi'an corrected.
"Xia Zian, you really need to clean up!" Murong Jie stared at her, "I am angry not because you escaped from the fire and didn't tell me, but because you shouldn't have rescued Mrs. Liang."
"She clings to me, when I climb up, she hugs my legs!" Zian said aggrievedly.
"Come on, keep on talking!" Murong Jie snorted.
Zian said innocently: "Really, I have no choice but to bring her out."
"Then you also brought two raw chickens to cover up your intention to bring her out, isn't that true?" His voice was ironic, the anger in his eyes hadn't faded, but his jaw was not so cold.
Because, when she appeared with two chickens in her arms, she looked very funny.
Zi An lowered his eyes, "Okay, I admit my mistake, this time I rescued Mrs. Liang on purpose."
"The reason?" Murong Jie stared at her.
"The reason...don't you understand, my lord? Although the Duke of Jin is still powerful, the second wife is in charge of the Duke's mansion now, and most of the source of income depends on the second wife. Now I have the grace to save her life, Ximen Xiaoyue is suspected of killing her, do you think she will help me deal with Ximen Xiaoyue?"
"What if not?" Murong Jie asked back.
"That's a waste of a good bracelet!" Zian stretched out his hand to touch his wrist. When saving Liang, he lost his only bracelet.
Murong Jie looked at her scarred wrists, and could not express her dislike, "Just your hands, what jewelry do you wear? Just tie a rope around your neck and tie it at the door, and you can bark for a while when strangers come." The sound scares and scares people."
Zian sighed softly, "I was wrong today anyway, I won't refute whatever you say."
Murong Jie took a deep breath and looked at her, "Xia Zian, this time you let me down very much. You live in a scheming prime minister's house. If your heart is not hard enough, you will die in the hands of others sooner or later. It is impossible for the king to stare at you and protect you all the time. This king can stand shoulder to shoulder with you to fight against all the calculations and poisons, but you must survive until you can marry into the palace. During this period, you have to protect yourself. Understand?"
Zi'an immediately understood where his anger came from, it came from her inability to protect herself well, but, to be honest, she is capable enough to deal with today's matter.
"This is the sweetest thing you've ever said to me," Zi'an sniffed, "I suddenly want to cry."
"Fake!" Murong Jie pushed her away.
"You are a very good person when you are not harsh." Zi'an's eyes were shining, staring at the gradually softening face in front of him, "I promise, I will never soften my heart in the future."
