AWB Chapter 40 The Second Room (3)
Chapter 40 The Second Room (3)
The house in Pear Blossom Lane caught fire.
The current emperor's younger brother, Prince Xiaoyao Jun Chengyuan, happened to be passing by.
Hearing the woman's cries for help inside, they went in to rescue her.
The room where Bai Ruofu slept was the most severely affected by the fire.
The maids said that Bai Ruofu and a young maid were inside...
Jun Chengyuan, his clothes soaked, rushed inside.
He knew what Pear Blossom Lane was.
This is where Ye Yanchuan brought back his little mistress.
The news spread throughout the capital.
The outer roommate is usually weak and unable to take care of herself.
After entering.
They discovered that the beam was blocking the escape route for the maid and the concubine.
Flames shot skyward.
The two women did not shout or scream.
Instead, he covered his mouth and nose with a damp handkerchief, squatted down, and moved outwards along the wall.
Jun Chengyuan rushed over to help.
This man-made fire did not cause any casualties.
Jun Chengyuan looked at the woman in his arms.
She fell into a deep sleep.
Her delicate features were slightly furrowed, and a faint trace of sorrow lingered between her brows.
Even in illness, Xi Shi's beauty shines through.
He couldn't help but hug her tightly.

When Ye Yanchuan arrived, he only saw servants lying on the ground waiting to be settled.
His eyes were red.
I have a bad feeling.
"...Where is Afu?"
His gloomy face was a stark contrast to the kind and gentle Marquis Yongchang he usually treated.
A maidservant, trembling, forced a smile and said, "He was... taken away by His Highness, the Prince of Xiaoyao..."
"!!"
Ye Yanchuan mounted his horse immediately.
We must go to the Prince's mansion and get his Afu back.
The carefree Prince Jun Chengyuan is unrestrained and loves nature, never taking matters of love between men and women seriously.
Over time, the desire in the capital to marry their daughters to him faded away.
Unexpectedly, the iron tree blossomed, and it was for his Afu!
At that moment, Ye Yanchuan was heartbroken.
I feel utterly useless.
If it weren't for his inability to balance the relationship between Ye's mother and Afu...
Afu will also be fine.
But why did a fire suddenly break out in Pear Blossom Lane?
And just like that, Afu got trapped inside!
To prevent Ye's mother from finding an opportunity to harm Afu, Ye Yanchuan transferred only servants who were born into the family.
The interests of those born into the family are linked to those of the Marquis's household.
Ye Yanchuan had explicitly told them that as long as they served Bai Ruofu well, he would not treat them unfairly.
With so many people, how could they not take good care of a vulnerable woman?
While I was pondering, we arrived at the Prince's Palace.
"Marquis Ye Yanchuan of Yongchang requests an audience with Prince Xiaoyao! Your Highness, I have come to see my mistress!"
He knelt in front of the mansion gate.
Although Jun Chengyuan is a royal prince, Ye Yanchuan has military merits and is loved by the people.
A carefree prince, oblivious to the hardships of life, and a majestic general who has protected many—the two clash over a mistress…
Along the long street, many people came to see what was happening.
Jun Chengyuan did not appear.
Instead, they sent someone to deliver Bai Ruofu's peach wood hairpin.
This peach wood hairpin was handcrafted by Ye Yanchuan.
It was also a token of their love.
Returning it to Ye Yanchuan would mean... Afu doesn't want to continue with him.
"I do not believe!"
Ye Yanchuan gripped the peach wood hairpin tightly and roared.
They refused to leave.
Jun Chengyuan had no choice but to go out.
Two sentences made him feel ashamed.
"Marquis Yongchang, why don't you go back and investigate what your mother did to Afu? If Afu continues to follow you, what will she experience in the future?"
Ye Yanchuan went back to investigate.
Not only did they discover that Ye's mother was faking illness, but they also found out that the fire was set by someone arranged by Ye's mother.
The purpose was to burn Bai Ruofu to death.
Yes... Jia Shengzi, besides him, only Ye's mother can give orders.
