Chapter 91: Fire
Su Hao opened his eyes wide in horror.
What does she mean?
What does it mean to be freed soon?
"Why are you here?"
Suddenly a cold voice sounded, causing Su Hao's body to tremble instinctively.
He raised his head and saw Shangguan Yuxue frowning and walking towards him.
She lowered her head and got up hurriedly.
Shangguan Yuxue narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Hao, lowering her voice.
"You haven't given up yet and still want to find help."
Su Hao shook his head and explained hurriedly.
"I... I didn't. This plum tree was planted by my father. I just missed my father too much, so I came here."
"Humph, I hope what you said is true."
Shangguan Yuxue snorted coldly, turned around and strode away. Su Hao bit his lip and trotted behind him.
Shangguan Yuxue's mouth curled up.
It seems that this system has really cancelled the punishment.
The last time Doctor Duanmu died, she was in agony, but this time there was nothing unusual.
These few beatings were worth it.
In this way, within a week of Prince Su's residence, both the master and the concubine died.
...
In a blink of an eye, the New Year came quietly, and the streets and alleys of the capital were decorated with lights and colors, and it was very lively.
The shops on both sides of the street had already hung red lanterns and posted festive spring couplets, and the atmosphere was full of the New Year.
But on such a festive day, a ruthless fire quietly ignited on New Year's Eve, adding a touch of color to the New Year.
The Seventh Princess's Mansion.
In the warm room.
Fu Chenyang leaned on Shangguan Yuxue's shoulder, gently stroking his belly with one hand, looking up at the stars in the sky, with a happy smile on his face.
He was so lucky to marry his wife.
He really wanted to live with his wife in such a plain way.
He didn't want her to fight for that position again.
Thinking about it, he looked up at Shangguan Yuxue, his voice soft.
"Wife, can we just live in peace?"
"Ayang, it's too late."
Fu Chenyang was stunned, then looked up at Shangguan Yuxue.
"Hmm?"
Shangguan Yuxue gently stroked the man's hair and said softly:
"Your sister is on the way with the troops, and will arrive in the capital after the New Year."
Fu Chenyang was startled, suddenly got out of Shangguan Yuxue's arms, stood up, looked at Shangguan Yuxue, and asked:
"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me in advance."
"Why do you have to fight for that position? Isn't it good for us to be like this now?"
"Fu Chenyang."
Shangguan Yuxue was also angry, stood up, and shouted loudly.
Fu Chenyang was stunned...
This was the first time she was mean to him since they got married.
Shangguan Yuxue frowned.
From childhood to adulthood, when had she been questioned like this?
In addition, the shops have been in trouble for the past few days, and the irritability suppressed in my heart can no longer be suppressed.
"Oh, good, what's good? Do you know that the whole mansion can't even pay the servants' wages now?"
Fu Chenyang was shocked and then exclaimed.
"How is it possible? Our shops are enough to maintain the expenses of the mansion, how could it be..."
"Shops? All the shops have been in trouble recently, and several have been closed down."
"What?"
Shangguan Yuxue closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes, her eyes had calmed down a lot.
Holding Fu Chenyang's shoulders, looking into his eyes, her tone was firm.
"Ayang, I must get that position."
Fu Chenyang's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, looking at Shangguan Yuxue, her little hand pulling her sleeve, and praying softly.
"Wife, can we give up? My sister hasn't arrived in the capital yet, so just go back quietly."
"Wife, just think of it as for Ayang, okay? Let's just live a peaceful life like this, okay."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yuxue's eyes were instantly filled with coldness, and she pulled out her sleeves.
"Ayang, you are tired, take a good rest first."
After saying this, she flicked her sleeves and strode out.
Fu Chenyang looked at Shangguan Yuxue's resolute back, and tears slowly flowed down his eyes.
He didn't dare to gamble. How many people who rebelled in history had a good end.
The Prime Minister's Mansion, hundreds of lives, how could he afford to gamble.
And Shangguan Yuxue, who left, had a gloomy face in an instant, veins on his forehead, and his hands clenched into fists.
Why, why can't you understand her.
The maid behind him followed carefully, fearing that she would suffer the next moment.
"Master...Master, it's not good."
At this time, a maid ran over panting.
Shangguan Yuxue looked at the visitor fiercely with a cold voice.
"Speak."
The visitor was startled, but hurriedly said:
"Something happened in Yichun Building."
Shangguan Yuxue was startled and hurriedly strode towards the door.
Recently, she didn't know what was going on. The shop had been in trouble one after another. She asked people to investigate, but there was nothing suspicious.
This Yichun Building must not be in trouble. It is not only a brothel, but also an important place for them to collect intelligence.
As for Fu Chenyang, he was worried about it and decided to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion secretly.
Therefore, he left quietly from the back door with only the servant.
The streets at night faded away the noise of the day, and the moonlight sprinkled on the bluestone road like water.
There were few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally a few drunkards staggered by.
The door of the shop was closed, and only a few lanterns emitted a faint light, swaying with the cold wind.
A carriage was moving fast on the street, and the wheels made a "gurgling" sound when they moved on the ground.
"Young Master, why don't we go back? You are almost seven months pregnant now, it is too dangerous."
A servant in the carriage looked at Fu Chenyang and comforted him softly.
Fu Chenyang's eyes were red, and he leaned against the wall of the carriage.
"I'm fine, you ask the driver to go faster."
He gently stroked his abdomen with a loving smile.
He could feel that the two children were very strong. They almost fell down last time, but they were intact.
And his pregnancy was different from others.
He did not have those bad characteristics during pregnancy. Instead, he slept well and ate well.
Even the nanny said that he was here to repay his gratitude.
Thinking of this, the smile on his lips deepened.
"Hey, if you are really anxious, it's the same if you come tomorrow. Why come out so late at night? What if something happens..."
"Okay, Fu Nian, I know my own body, don't worry about it, hurry up!"
After saying that, Fu Chenyang closed his eyes.
Fu Nian sighed and could only pull up the blanket on Fu Chenyang.
Fu Chenyang, who closed his eyes, was extremely flustered at the moment. For some reason, the closer he got to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the more flustered he became.
Suddenly, the carriage shook, and Fu Chenyang was startled and opened his eyes.
"My lady, are you okay?"
Fu Nian hurriedly supported Fu Chenyang, looking at him with worry in his eyes.
"I'm fine, what's wrong."
At this time, the driver's apologetic voice came.
"I'm sorry, my lord, the wheel is broken, please wait, I will change it right away."
Fu Chenyang breathed a sigh of relief and hummed softly.
