The Noble Woman's Guide On How to Tease One's Husband

Chapter 86- Imprisoned

In Lisa's impression, she has never seen such a huge fire before. The billowing dense smoke had blotted out the sky and the sun while the burning smell which was extremely pungent with a kind of unspeakable weird scent could even be smelled from afar.

Rushing all the way from outside to Fuyu Xuan, Ci Yuan saw Lisa sitting under the porch staring blankly towards the north as soon as he entered the threshold. The original limpid eyes had turned into a deep dark pool, just like the sky now. Fearing of startling her, he walked lightly to the bottom of the stairs when she turned her line of sight before he could even make a sound.

"How?"

Seemingly difficult to speak about it, Ci Yuan pondered for a moment before he spoke with the euphemistic tone, "Reporting to Young Miss, the fire is too big and no survivors have been found for the time being."

"Even you are starting to deceive me." The corners of Lisa's mouth pulled up slightly while she got up sluggishly and walked before him. Her icy and frosty covered words were bitingly sharp, "Ci Yuan, I want to hear the truth."

Ci Yuan immediately knelt down on one knee as soon as these words came out. From this angle, the back of his neck and shoulders looked extremely tense. It took a long time before he relaxed slightly and the raspy voice escaped from his throat.

"Sneaking into the fire scene just now, this subordinate found that all the Xie family's people were lying motionlessly on the ground and had been burnt alive by the fire. This subordinate dragged one lightly wounded person to a clearing for questioning. He said that Xie Si had scattered the paralyzed powder into the well before instructing his men to set the fire. As for Xie Miao and Xie Yun ... they most probably have already been brutally killed."

Shuddering suddenly, Lisa could not help but retched at once when she realized the scent she smelled just now was actually the smell of human flesh burning.

"Young Miss!"

Yue'ya rushed over to support her while Ci Yuan stretched out his arms too to protect her but she pushed both of them away. Her eyes were brimming with tears as she held back her retching with great difficulty.

It must be that person backing behind the son of a concubine, Xie Si, for him to dare mobilizing the troops to commit arson to his clan home and exterminate the whole direct descendant. On top of that, with the sound of iron boots coming from outside the King mansion at this moment and the disappearance of Meng Chen, where all these matters strung together, she regrettably had realized it too late as both Xie Miao and Xie Yun are already dead ...

Meng Chen, I will definitely demand these two lives back from you!

Straightening her back, Lisa 's body was clearly still very weak but she was ready for action like a sharp cold arrow being pulled on the bowstring.

The sound of armors' frictions was getting closer and closer, seemingly about to burst through the door. Leaping up quickly to the eaves for a look, Ci Yuan then turned back and spoke urgently, "Young Miss, there's no time to lose. This subordinate will have someone escort you to leave first!"

"No need. You take Yue'ya and go find Bam."

Not expecting that Lisa would refuse, Ci Yuan, who is always expressionless, actually revealed a frightened look and knelt down once again and pleaded, "Young Miss, this subordinate will put this life of mine on the line to protect you. You cannot give up!"

"I am not giving up." A faint smile curled up at the corners of Lisa's mouth that others could not see distinctively, "I can't leave."

As all the guards of Tianqi House are excellent martial artists, it is not impossible for them to forcibly escort her to flee Buriram but if she leaves, the Ye family will also fall into purgatory like the Xie family today. It is she who insisted on choosing this path in the first place, so how could she let her elders and brothers get implicated in this calamity? Either being condemned by speech or writing and even adding in the sword and knife, just come at her alone.
