Farmer Fubo is open for business

Chapter 246 It’s finally over

Chang'an woke up immediately after being pushed by Lu Jingzhou.

As soon as she looked at the window, she knew what had happened and jumped out of bed.

Lu Jingzhou picked up Chang'an's dress phoenix crown, then picked up the dressing box, and whispered: "Get out of the back window!"

Chang'an understood, picked up a chair, smashed open the back window, and climbed out of the back window together with Lu Jingzhou.

The first person to discover the fire in the new house was Chang'an's dowry girl Chun Xiu and Xia Xiu. They were sleeping in a side room in the courtyard. At this time, they ran out of the house with disheveled hair and cried loudly toward the main house where the fire was burning. They screamed and shouted wildly. Help.

Everyone in the Lu family had just finished cleaning up and returned to their houses to rest. Before they could fall asleep, they all got up when they heard the movement in the bride's yard.

Lu Huainian hurriedly ran from the main courtyard, and when he saw the new house with flames rising into the sky, his heart was filled with chills.

"Where is Jingzhou? Where are he and his wife?" He stamped his feet anxiously and ordered his servants to quickly get water to put out the fire.

But the doors and windows seemed to have been splashed with kerosene, and they were all newly painted. The pots of water couldn't save them at all.

Chunxiu was worried that the young lady's dowry would be burned, so she quickly asked a few servants to carry the boxes in the wing.

Fortunately, all these dowries were locked in the box and were not put into the new house, otherwise they would have been in trouble.

When Lu Huainian saw the two young maids rushing to have their dowry carried, without caring about their master's life or death, he couldn't help but became furious: "What are you doing here if you don't put out the fire?"

Chun Xiu and Xia Xiu were shocked and quickly defended: "We don't know where to find water, and my lady's dowry cannot be burned by fire, otherwise she will beat us to death."

In fact, it was the two of them who set the fire, and the kerosene was also taken out from the young lady's dowry box. There was not much, just two small pots, and they were all poured on the windows and doors of the new house.

Lu Huainian snorted and ordered his servants to quickly break open the door and go in to rescue people.

Unexpectedly, Lu Jingzhou came around from the back of the house with clothes and other items in his arms, followed by the embarrassed newlywed Song Changan.

"Jingzhou!" Lu Huainian cried with joy when he saw his son at first sight, and hurriedly pulled him to check if he was injured.

They saw Lu Jingzhou's face was black and gray, his hair was messy, and he was wearing a white undershirt that had turned gray-black at this time.

The same goes for his daughter-in-law Song Changan. Her face was also covered in black ash, her hair was disheveled, and she followed closely behind Lu Jingzhou with a panicked look on her face, as if she had been greatly frightened.

Lu Jingzhou asked his father with a sullen face: "Father, what's going on? Who did my husband and I offend and want to burn us to death tonight?"

Lu Huainian was also puzzled.

Could it be that stupid woman did it?

"Jingzhou, it's important to put out the fire first. As a father, I will give you an explanation for this matter."

Lu Jingzhou snorted and pulled his "frightened" wife out.

As he walked, he didn't forget to tell his followers to wake up: "We can't live here anymore. Hurry up and find a few people to carry the young lady's dowry home."

The home he was talking about was naturally his official residence.

Da Xing agreed and carried the box out with Feng Shan.

The lights outside the gate of Lu Mansion were brightly lit. Lu Jingzhou and Chang An were sitting in the carriage, watching the servants coming in and out, and whispered: "I have wronged you, my wife."

Chang'an didn't take it seriously: "This is not our home in the first place. If it is burned, it will be burned." It happened that there was no need to serve tea to Mrs. Cai tomorrow morning.

Well, I will try to have as little contact as possible in the future.

Lu Jingzhou turned to look at his wife, took out a handkerchief, dipped it in some tea, and wiped the blackness on Chang An's face.

In order to act realistically, the two of them smeared their faces with light ink, which was a bit difficult to wipe off at the moment.

Chang'an: "Just go back and wash it. No need to wipe it."

Lu Jingzhou smiled and had no choice but to put down the veil.

The Lu family was making a lot of noise here, and they summoned everyone from the Patrol Department.

They brought in a water tanker and finally put out the fire in Lu Mansion.

For this reason, Lu Huainian gave up another sum of money to drink and eat for the policemen who were pulling water trucks to put out the fire.

Lu Jingzhou and Chang An stayed on the carriage in front of the Lu Mansion, ensuring that their neighbors and those who came to put out the fire could see them.

It wasn't until dawn that the two returned to the official residence next to Haitang Garden with their dowry.

After closing the courtyard door, the two of them came to a side room and saw Myolie Li dressed in night clothes.

"Is the matter done?" Chang'an asked.

Myolie Li: "It's done. Then Qin Kang and Wang Pinting are dead, without any trace of struggle."

"Very good!" Chang'an handed Li Xing'er a box: "Here are one thousand taels of silver notes, take them and share them with them."

Tonight, Myolie Li did not act alone. She and the Jianghu people hired by Lu Jingzhou paid to go to the Qin Family Courtyard to kill Qin Kang and Wang Pinting.

Myolie Li took the box, put it in her arms, and said, "A few of the guards who were kept in the other courtyard died, and the rest have escaped."

Those guards had come in a wrong way, and seeing that their master was dead, they knew that there would be no good consequences for them if they stayed, so they simply ran away.

Lu Jingzhou asked: "Have the things been buried in the yard?"

"It has been buried. I buried it myself without letting anyone else see it." Myolie Li said.

Lu Jingzhou nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest. Don't go out of the yard these days."

Myolie Li cupped her fists and stayed in the room to change clothes.

Chang'an and Lu Jingzhou returned to the new house here and felt a little uncomfortable when they saw the large carved bed.

"You haven't slept all night, so hurry up and get some sleep." Lu Jingzhou said to his wife, "I'll rest on the couch."

Chang'an is indeed very sleepy, and his head is a bit dull.

She washed herself a little, then lay down on the large carved bed and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already afternoon.

Chunxiu brought her hot water to rinse her mouth, and then brought her two cups of bird's nest porridge and two plates of snacks.

Chang'an didn't see Lu Jingzhou, so he asked, "Where has Lu Jingzhou gone?"

"Earlier the eunuch came to send a message, asking Mr. Lu to go to the East Palace." Chunxiu whispered: "Just now there were Jinyi guards who wanted to come in to search, but they were sent away by Aunt Fang."

Chang An nodded. After eating bird's nest porridge, he changed his clothes and went to Haitang Garden next door.

A small door was cut between Haitang Garden and Lu Jingzhou's official residence for the convenience of coming and going.

As soon as Chang'an returned home, Mrs. Jiang said angrily: "Why are you so unruly? How can a newlywed bride return to her parents' home the next day?"

But Xiao Shitou and Xiao Nian Gao ran over, hugged their sister and said with a smile: "Sister, you are finally back! Don't get married again in the future."

Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly pulled the two boys over: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your sister is just here for a visit, she still has to go back in the evening."

The two boys dropped their faces and shouted loudly: "I don't want my sister to go back!"

Chang'an touched the heads of his two younger brothers and said with a smile, "I'm not married far away, I'm just next door."

"Really?" Xiao Shitou suddenly became more energetic, "But yesterday your sedan chair went to the Lu family, which is far away."

Chang'an: "There's no need to go now."

Last night, Lu Jingzhou devised a play to burn down Lu Mansion's new house, so he would never go back to Lu Mansion in the future.
