Chapter 134: No, It Wasn’t Me
Lin Tingting covered her face, still wanting to explain, but Sun Chengye could not hold back any longer and muttered to himself, “No, if Jiang Ruanxi died, the Jiang Family definitely would not let our Sun Family off.”
Almost without thinking, Sun Chengye rushed straight inside.
The fire gradually spread, illuminating Lin Tingting’s face deathly pale.
Watching Sun Chengye’s back, Lin Tingting finally reacted.
If Sun Chengye died inside, Yongning Marquis Manor certainly would not let her off, and she would not be able to live either.
She lifted her foot wanting to rush inside, but as soon as she got a little closer, the billowing thick smoke made her stop in her tracks.
Combined with the high temperature around her, she struggled several times but lacked the courage to go forward, and could only curse Jiang Ruanxi harshly, “You bitch, consider yourself lucky today.”
She stopped her steps and shouted loudly with all her might, “Help, fire broke out.”
Her cry had just started when Lin Ningkun’s voice came from behind her, “Third Sister, why are you here?”
Seeing the raging fire, Lin Ningkun immediately became furious and said harshly, “Third Sister, have you gone mad? How dare you kill someone here?”
“No, it’s not me.”
But Lin Ningkun had no intention of listening to what she had to say. Thinking that if Jiang Ruanxi died, their Lin Family would be completely finished, he ignored everything else and rushed straight inside.

“Madam, you must leave quickly, they are coming in.”
Hong Ye listened to the movement outside and anxiously tried to push Jiang Ruanxi out the window.
After Jiang Ruanxi went out, she wanted to pull Hong Ye to leave together, but Hong Ye did not reach out her hand.
Jiang Ruanxi seemed to understand something, her expression changing drastically, “Hong Ye, what are you doing?”
“Madam, although this servant does not know exactly what you plan to do, if this servant leaves here with you, it will definitely be discovered by others. At that time, it will surely ruin Madam’s matter. The only option now is for this servant to stay here and die here with Madam, so they will believe you really died.”
“What nonsense are you saying?” After rebirth, Hong Ye was the most loyal maidservant to her, and her revenge plan did not include letting her die.
“You sneaky Jiang Ruanxi, so it was your plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.”
The room door was opened, and Sun Chengye rushed in through the fire, his whole body emitting thick smoke, startling the two of them.
Seeing Jiang Ruanxi unharmed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking that Jiang Ruanxi actually wanted to escape and frame Lin Tingting, his anger flared up.
He had thought that even if Lin Tingting had great courage, she could not be bold enough to commit arson and murder, which was so outrageous. It turned out all of this was Jiang Ruanxi’s scheming.
“Madam, you hurry and go.”
Somehow, Hong Ye had a rope in her hand, which she directly looped around Sun Chengye’s neck, and at the same time locked the door from inside.
“Hong Ye…”
Jiang Ruanxi was in a dilemma. Although she had strangled Sun Chengye, after all, there was a great difference in strength between man and woman, and soon Sun Chengye had shaken off Hong Ye.
“Madam, to die for you is this servant’s supreme glory.” Hong Ye’s eyes brimmed with tears, “If there is a next life, this servant still wishes to be your servant.”
Jiang Ruanxi’s expression moved slightly. She closed her eyes, not wanting to disappoint Hong Ye’s sincere intentions.
But in this world, there were not many people who were so sincere to her.
Right before her eyes, Sun Chengye had already undone the rope and looped it over Hong Ye’s head. Although she was powerless to resist, she desperately hugged Sun Chengye’s legs, firmly preventing him from taking another step forward.
“You bitch, let go of me.”
“Open the door, Jiang Ruanxi, are you inside?” Lin Ningkun’s voice rang out from outside. He tried to ram the door several times, but the door was locked from inside.
Lin Ningkun roared toward the inside, “Sun Chengye, what exactly are you doing?”
Bang…
Sounds of breakage from inside mixed with the sound of flames devouring the house reached them, and Lin Ningkun grew increasingly anxious, already starting to kick the door with his foot.
Inside the room.
In the end, Jiang Ruanxi could not bear to do it. She climbed back to the window and smashed a vase from beside her toward Sun Chengye’s head.
At the same time, a sharp arrow directly hit Sun Chengye’s head, piercing through his skull along with his eyeball and embedding into the pillar.
Sun Chengye’s ferocious expression was instantly frozen in that moment.
Then he was devoured by the great fire.
Urp…
Hong Ye was scared pale, and seeing this bloody and mutilated scene made her stomach churn faintly.
“Jiang Ruanxi, are you there?” Lin Ningkun’s urgent voice rang out from outside the door.
“Madam, you hurry and go. Hong Ye is fine…”
“If we go, we go together.”
Since she had come back, there was no reason to stay.
Moreover, even though it was on fire, it was not safe here. Who shot the short arrow into Sun Chengye?
Who was hiding in the dark?
There was no time to think more. Hong Ye followed Jiang Ruanxi and escaped out the window.
Lin Ningkun kicked the door several times, but it did not budge. Then the fire inside grew bigger, and the house began to collapse.
Flames shot to the sky, drawing the temple people…
“Fire broke out, fire broke out.”
Soon, young monks from the temple rushed over here carrying water buckets.
Lin Tingting watched this scene, scared into breaking out in cold sweat all over.
“Second Brother, is the Heir Apparent not inside? Tell me, he’s fine, right?”
Although Lin Ningkun also did not want Sun Chengye to die like this, he did not dare to lie, “Third Sister, I indeed saw the Heir Apparent go in, and he never came out again.”
“No, impossible. The Heir Apparent will be fine…”
Lin Tingting’s body kept trembling.
She was truly afraid now. If Sun Chengye died, Yongning Marquis Manor absolutely would not let her go.
Jiang family members also hurried over upon hearing the news. Seeing such a huge fire, Jiang Rui’s face darkened, and he stepped forward to grab Lin Ningkun’s collar forcefully, “Lin Ningkun, is this the matter you promised me?”
“Third Master, I really do not know what happened.” Lin Ningkun’s face was still smeared with black, and his clothes were dirty in a large patch.
“How could you not know?” Jiang Rui raised his fist toward Lin Ningkun’s face, but just a few centimeters away from Lin Ningkun, he was stopped by Jiang Linlei.
“Third Brother, the most important thing now is to confirm if the person is alright. We can deal with Lin Ningkun later.”
Only then did Jiang Rui let him go.
Lin Ningkun gasped for breath, praying in his heart that Jiang Ruanxi would not have an accident, otherwise their Lin Family would be finished.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ruanxi pulled Hong Ye and headed directly along the predetermined planned route in the cover of night.
But halfway there, Jiang Ruanxi stopped her steps.
“Madam, why aren’t we going? That person is still waiting for us ahead.”
But Jiang Ruanxi shook her head, “Hong Ye, who killed Sun Chengye? Since that person knew the situation inside so clearly, did they also know our route in advance?”
