The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 373 Arson

Shi Mingzhu cried in despair, "What can I do? You know me. I have been noble and proud since I was a child. I have never suffered any hardship or been bullied. But the imperial concubine bullied me again and again.

So what if I'm a concubine? The Imperial Concubine is embarrassed to bully me, but what about the Queen? I'm a concubine, and Lin Zhiwu is her wife. If she wants to set rules for me, who dares to say anything?

I can't stand this anymore. I can't be a concubine, not even for one day. Tomorrow, tomorrow, Lin Zhiwu will ask me to serve tea... I want to run away, to someone who won't hurt me, who will only love me!"

She wanted to escape and run to Zhou Xu.

She married Zhou Shao as a concubine, but Zhou Xu still sent secret guards to protect her, which shows that Zhou Xu did not despise her for having been married or for having lost her chastity.

In this life, she wants to marry Zhou Xu again!

Shi Mingzhu's dull eyes brightened up again, vaguely regaining some of her former noble demeanor.

Shi Mi was in tears. She felt sorry for Shi Mingzhu, such a proud noble lady, who had fallen to become a concubine. At the same time, she felt sorry for herself.

Can they escape?

Once discovered, the first person the Fourth Prince would kill would be her!

Seeing her hesitation, Shi Mingzhu made up her mind, climbed down from the bed, and knelt down in front of Shi Mi: "Shi Mi, please, help me, give me a way to survive, and also give yourself a way to survive. Lin Zhiwu will not let me go, nor will he let you go. Shi Mi, please, I kowtow to you!"

Shi Mi was so frightened that she was at a loss. She hurriedly helped her up and broke down crying, "Okay, okay, I'll help the girl!"

Shi Mingzhu burst into laughter and hugged Shi Mi tightly: "Shi Mi, you are my best sister. We will definitely escape."

So, at night, the fourth prince abandoned his bride and came to Shi Mingzhu's yard drunk. Shi Mingzhu drove him out and said coldly:

"Your Majesty, Miss Lin is your wife, and I am just a concubine. If Your Majesty is concerned about my reputation and my safety, then go to the Princess's courtyard. I don't want to, or the Imperial Concubine will beat me to death tomorrow for causing trouble in the harem."

Zhou Shao's eyes were red. He clasped her shoulders with both hands and looked at her face through his drunken eyes: "Zhuzhu, do you hate me? Hate that I promised you but betrayed your trust?"

Shi Mingzhu's eyes were filled with tears. She hid her hatred deep in her eyes and said with a smile while crying, "What's the point of saying this? How dare I hate the prince?"

"How dare I? I don't dare. You still hate me after all." Zhou Shao's tone could not hide his disappointment and regret. "Zhuzhu, I'm sorry. It's all my fault."

Yes, it's all your fault! Shi Mingzhu wanted to kill him with her own hands, but she could only grit her teeth, turn her head away, cover her mouth and sob, giving him a miserable back of the head.

"I hate myself more than I hate you. I knew I shouldn't be attracted to you, but I still did. I deserve this fate!"

She was talking about herself in her first life.

In that life, she was so stupid.

She loved him with all her heart and gave him all the resources and connections of the Shi family, but what she got in return was his betrayal and the execution of his entire family.

This bastard even stabbed her and killed her for the sake of "Shi Yao"!

How can I not hate?

How could there be any love at all?

Zhou Shao was in great grief. He hugged her tightly, rubbed her, and kept kissing her neck behind her ears. His voice was hoarse from the alcohol:

"Zhuzhu, I won't leave. I will stay here tonight. If my mother punishes you, I will accept the punishment with you! Anyway, this principal wife is not the one I want to marry. The person I want to marry, the principal wife in my heart, is only you!"

When Shi Mingzhu thought about the fact that he was about to spend the bridal chamber with Lin Zhiwu, she felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, as if she had been kissed by a disgusting toad.

She was just about to say a few harsh words to get Zhou Shao away when she saw several eunuchs coming over. They tied Zhou Shao up, said "I'm sorry", and dragged him to the new princess's courtyard.

Shi Mingzhu: “…”

Being hung in the air.

She still had something to say.

Before faking her death, she had to let Zhou Shao know that she loved him and that she "died" for him, to express her feelings. From then on, Zhou Shao would never forget her.

Shi Mingzhu took a deep breath, made a few gestures towards the darkness, and then returned to the house with a lump in his throat.

After midnight, someone in Prince Cheng's mansion suddenly rang a gong and shouted, "There's a fire! There's a fire in Madam Shi's yard!"

When Zhou Shao heard the three words "Mrs. Shi", he woke up from his dream. Just as he was about to open his eyes, Lin Zhiwu was quick to cover his mouth and nose with a handkerchief soaked in knockout drug.

Zhou Shao instinctively tried to jump up, but fell softly back into the quilt.

Lin Zhiwu was afraid that he might suffocate to death. Seeing that he was motionless, he quickly put away the handkerchief, straightened his clothes, slowly put on his soft shoes, pushed aside the curtain and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"

The maids hurriedly reported: "Mrs. Shi's yard is flooded!"

"How did the fire break out? Has the fire been put out? Where is Mrs. Shi? Is she injured?"

The maids glanced inside the curtain and said in horror: "Mrs. Shi and her personal maid are trapped in the fire. This matter must be reported to the prince immediately!"

Lin Zhiwu also put on a horrified look and hurried out: "You go call the prince, I'll go take a look, I don't believe it, Madam Shi is blessed with a good life, with the prince's protection, how could she encounter such misfortune!"

She had to go and see what Shi Mingzhu was up to.

Let’s see if this vicious woman is really dead.

Even if she doesn't die, I will skin her alive!

She dared to commit suicide and set fire to the house on her wedding day. She was looking for misfortune for her. I will skin her alive and write her name, Lin Zhiwu, backwards!

When he arrived at Shi Mingzhu's courtyard, he saw the flames rising into the sky and heard the crackling sound of burning wood, and Lin Zhiwu took a breath.

She grabbed a servant who was fetching water and throwing fire and asked, "Where is Madam Shi?"

The servant shuddered and replied, "Mrs. Shi can't get out!"

Lin Zhiwu was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "It's impossible to control such a big fire by pouring water. Quickly ask people to push down the houses next door. If there is water, pour water. If there is not enough water, get sand. Don't let the fire spread to the whole palace and burn down this street!"

With her command, the servants, who were like headless flies, calmed down a little. Some poured water, some pushed the house, some piled sand, and some shoveled flowers and plants.

He opened the palace gates again and asked the neighbors outside to come and help put out the fire - they had to put it out, the fire could not be controlled, what if it burned their own homes?

Lin Zhiwu smelled the oil in the air, and raised the handkerchief soaked with knockout drugs in his hand, secretly rejoicing: Shi Mingzhu, Shi Mingzhu, you can't run away this time, whether you really die or pretend to die, you have to die!

Set fire to the house or the prince's mansion. Just wait. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, the emperor and the imperial concubine will catch you and chop off your head!

The Shi family really spoiled a good daughter and a good pig!

With such a good daughter, the Shi family would be sorry to their ancestors if they remain undefeated!
