Yue Tongzhou rode back to the Yue Mansion, and Mr. Yue went to the shop in the north of the city to meet old acquaintances in the afternoon, which gave Yue Tongzhou the opportunity to sneak out of the mansion.

The servants in the house all feel sorry for Yue Tongzhou and are willing to cover for him. When someone comes back, the person guarding the door quickly helps Yue Tongzhou off the horse and leads the horse to the stable.

"Is my father back?" The

maid took the cape he took off, handed him a cup of herbal tea, and shook her head, "Master still hasn't come back from the teahouse in the north of the city. Young master, come in and wash up."

"En." Yue Tongzhou responded, bent down, took a handful of water and poured it on the back of his hand, took the towel from the shelf beside him, and dried his hands carefully.

In the distance from the front hall to the backyard, Yuefu was covered in red, and red silk can be seen everywhere. Yue Tongzhou's hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, and some sharp nails pierced the palm of his hand. The delicate skin was left with a row of crescent-shaped marks.

His house has long been hung with red lanterns and covered with red silk. Yue Tongzhou reached out his hand expressionlessly and pulled off a red hydrangea by the door, and took the sandalwood box from the maid's arms.

"You don't need to guard the yard tonight, you all go to rest, and you have to get up early tomorrow." The

maid hesitated and stood by the door. In order to prevent Yue Tongzhou from escaping, Mr. Yue arranged more than a dozen martial arts practitioners in the yard every day. The guards with knives surrounded Yue Tongzhou's yard.

But Yue Tongzhou didn't know whether to give up resistance or figured it out, and there was no other action these days.

"Don't worry, I won't run." Yue Tongzhou lowered his eyes, those drooping eyes that always had a smile are now cold and gray.

The maids in the house all grew up with Yue Tongzhou. Yue Tongzhou has been obedient since he was a child and has no problems with the young master. He treats these maids and guards like his own sister and brother. These days, seeing Yue Tongzhou walking with corpses, Everyone felt bad.

They were willing to help Yue Tongzhou leave the house, but Yue Tongzhou had nowhere else to go, and with the power of Old Man Yue, he could always find people back. After getting it back, I don't know how much more I will suffer.

The maid sighed, turned and led the guards out of the yard. The yard that used to be laughter and laughter was now frighteningly silent.

It was a bit cold in the summer night. Yue Tongzhou stood in the yard wearing a thin shirt and blew the wind in the middle of the night. He didn't turn around and walked into the house until the whole body was completely cold.

At this time, the last guard on the roof also jumped off the eaves and disappeared into the courtyard.

All the decorations in the house were replaced by old man

Yue, and there were still a bunch of mandarin ducks embroidered on the red sheets. Yue Tongzhou sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand to touch the exquisitely embroidered mandarin duck, feeling extremely ironic.

His mother had a difficult labor because of him, and the only last word left was to let Mr. Yue treat their only son kindly. It is ridiculous that Mr. Yue claimed to love the main room all his life, and even swore a poisonous oath in front of the mourning hall that only his mother Yue Tongzhou had the main room in this life. But when Yue Tongzhou's mother's three-year period of filial piety had just expired, Mr. Yue carried a large sedan chair and married him a stepmother.

In the past 18 years, the only thing that has been done is to bring Yue Tongzhou up in a healthy and healthy way, and let him enjoy the glory and wealth.

But these are optional things for Yue Tongzhou. He doesn't value money or power, so he fell in love with Song Lang like a moth to a fire after meeting him.

What he experienced from Song Lang was the singleness and warmth that his parents did not have.

But now, his father broke his dream with his own hands.

Yue Tongzhou got up and sat in front of the mahogany table, which was filled with all kinds of melons, fruits and refreshments.

Yue Tongzhou silently changed into his custom-made wedding dress for Yan Cheng, and the candlelight shaking on the wooden table reflected in his eyes, shining brightly. A small white moth flapped its wings and approached, and as soon as it approached the flames, its wings were burned, and the body fell into the lamp oil.

He raised his hand and poured himself a glass of sake, rolled up his sleeves and raised his head and drank it. When he put down the glass, his sleeves swept the candlestick, and instantly overturned it to the ground. The fire surrounded Yue Tongzhou's whole body.

Yue Tongzhou was immersed in the monstrous fire, but he did not panic at all, and the corners of his lips twitched. He was like the moth that was fighting the fire just now, kneeling in the fire without hesitation.

"First worship the heaven and earth-"

"Second worship the high hall-"

"The husband and wife worship each other-"

He kowtowed three times reverently, and the fire climbed up the ends of his hair, burning his shoulders in an instant.

Yue Tongzhou took out a strand of broken hair from his sleeve and held it tightly in his palm.

The knot is a husband and wife, and there is no doubt about the love.

The flames from the sky quickly passed over his head, and the flames licked every inch of the room, hot and hot.

By the time people found the fire, an hour had passed. The maids and guards hurriedly put out the fire. Yue Tongzhou's personal maid knelt in front of the fire and cried uncontrollably. The fire burned her body hot.

A heavy rain in Zishi put out the raging fire. When Father Yue got the news and rushed back to Yuefu, he saw the guards carrying a charred body from the burnt-down house. The old man couldn't hold on, his legs fainted.

The next day, Yuefu's accident spread all over Youdu.

Everyone knows that the person given by Yue Tongzhou's Yao family is Lord Shang Shu. Now that the person died in his room the night before they got married, Lord Shang Shu is not angry or not, so he has to hold back his breath and secretly. Decided to no longer have any contact with the Yue family.

Song Jinshu slept very restlessly the night before, and Yan Cheng wanted to wake up several times to check on him. The two slept until lunch, and the maid brought the meal into the bedroom and talked in a low voice.

"Have you heard about what happened in Yuefu last night?"

"I heard that, after such a fire, everyone was burnt out."

"It's also strange, it rained so hard last night, son of Yuefu. There was a fire in my room."

"That's right, Mr. Yue was bedridden last night and saw several doctors."

Song Jinshu, who was washing behind the screen, heard these words and knocked over the copper basin on the shelf. The crackling sound exploded inside, and the maids knelt on the ground in fright and bowed their heads at a loss.

"What did you say?" Song Jinshu didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and stumbled out of the screen, asking an unbelievable fact like a maid.

"Last night... There was a fire in Yuefu last night, and Young Master Yue's bedroom was burnt... burnt clean."

Song Jinshu was about to lose his stability, Yan Cheng stepped out from behind the screen, supported Song Jinshu's shoulders, and threw him completely. The man took him into his arms and asked for him, "What about the son of Yue Gongzi?"

"The man is gone."

With a bang, Song Jinshu only felt that he couldn't understand anything in front of him. After he was carried back to the screen by Yan Cheng like a puppet, he didn't respond no matter what Yan Cheng did to him.
