Zong Lin's eyes flashed with evil thoughts, and he leaned into Xiao Guozhang's ear and whispered: "Look for an opportunity to completely eradicate the roots."

Xiao Guozhang couldn't help but chuckle. He raised his hand and patted Zong Lin on the shoulder: "Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. You must do it for me flawlessly and beautifully! "

Zong Lin bowed, his attitude extremely submissive and respectful.

"Please rest assured, Lord Zhang, my subordinates will definitely make you feel at ease."

Xiao Guozhang breathed a sigh of relief, said nothing more, turned around and left with a soft smile.

Zong Lin is his most trusted aide.

Over the years, Zong Lin had never made any mistakes in many matters, so he was not worried at all that Zong Lin would mess up this matter.

Regarding Zhou Qingyan, he indeed felt that he was too indulgent towards her.

What happened to Xiaomu this time was a wake-up call for her, letting her know that she could live if he asked her to give birth, and if he asked her to die, she would have to die immediately without any complaints.

Never talk about affection with a dog.

This will only lower his worth.

Yun Luan hid in a hidden place, and through the mouth patterns and expressions of Xiao Guozhang's words when he was talking to Zong Lin, she almost guessed what happened.

She couldn't help but slightly curl her lips in mockery.

These scum are all evil-hearted, and they don't take human life seriously at all.

It seems that killing a person is as simple as crushing an ant.

——

Zhou Qingyan had no idea what Xiao Guozhang and Zong Lin were planning.

She was still full of hope, waiting for the imperial doctor to come to diagnose and treat Xiaomu.

Xiaomu's breath was weak, and his face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.

She lay motionless on the bed as if dead.

Zhou Qingyan became more and more anxious and couldn't wait for the imperial doctor to come.

She couldn't help but walk to the inner room, looked at the young man guarding the door, and asked urgently: "Why hasn't the imperial doctor Mr. Zong asked for arrived yet?"

The boy guarding the door replied impatiently: "I am only responsible for guarding here. How can I know about other things?"

Zhou Qingyan naturally knew that these servants of the Xiao family had always looked down upon her origins, and they had never regarded her as the daughter of the Xiao family.

From the beginning, they looked at her with contempt and disdain.

It seemed that saying more to her would tarnish their identity.

But she had no time to care about it now, because of the contempt and coldness in the boy's words, she was focused on Xiaomu's injury.

She took off the bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into the boy's hand.

"Can you please help me ask, little brother, when will the imperial doctor come? If you get accurate information, I will also express my gratitude."

The boy's eyes lit up, he lifted the bracelet and observed it for a long time.

"The quality of this bracelet is pretty good..."

Zhou Qingyan smiled bitterly and replied: "Of course it is, this is a valuable jade bracelet."

This bracelet was given to her by the emperor of the country, so that she could wear it to enhance her nobility.

The boy's attitude improved. He put the bracelet in his arms and smiled happily at Zhou Qingyan: "Miss Zhou, please wait a moment, I will go and ask you about the situation."

"Okay, please."

Money can make the world go round, this is an eternal truth.

The boy ran out quickly.

Zhou Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to the inner room.

She took a wet handkerchief and wiped the blood stains on Xiaomu's face.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the servant rushed in from outside, panting, dragging a man carrying a medicine box and wearing an imperial doctor's uniform.

"Miss Zhou, the imperial doctor has arrived..."

Zhou Qingyan quickly stood up and welcomed the imperial doctor in.

The imperial doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded politely to Zhou Qingyan. Then he opened the medicine box and began to sit by the bed and take Xiaomu's pulse.

Zhou Qingyan stood aside and waited, filled with anxiety.

Unexpectedly, suddenly another maid ran over from outside and came to Zhou Qingyan's side.

"Miss Zhou, the father-in-law wants to see you for something..."

Zhou Qingyan did not doubt that he was there, but she was afraid that Xiao Guozhang would be impatient, so she gave the imperial doctor a few instructions and then left with her maid.

Unexpectedly, when she just walked out of the courtyard and rushed towards Xiao Guozhang's study, she suddenly heard a bang and flames rising into the sky.

Zhou Qingyan's body trembled, she stopped and looked towards the fire.

Her eyes were absolutely scarlet.

"Xiao...Xiaomu."

The place where the fire caught fire was where Xiaomu was.

Her eyes were full of shock. She ignored the maid's pull and rushed towards the flames with all her strength.

"no, do not want."

"Why did it suddenly catch on fire? Xiaomu, Xiaomu, don't leave me."

She ran back like crazy, but unfortunately when she rushed to the courtyard, it was a sea of ​​​​fire, and the entire courtyard was surrounded by flames.

Countless slaves went to put out the fire with basins of water.

Zhou Qingyan cried hysterically and wanted to rush into the fire, but the maid grabbed her arm in time and pulled her back.

"Miss Zhou, you can't rush in. The fire is too strong now. You will definitely die if you rush in."

Zhou Qingyan roared in a hoarse voice: "Xiaomu is still inside, and the imperial doctor is still inside. They are all inside."

"I want to go in and save her...don't pull me, I want to save Xiaomu."

She was very strong, and just as she was about to break free from the maid's control, two women suddenly rushed over and restrained Zhou Qingyan firmly.

Zhou Qingyan cried heartbrokenly.

No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get rid of these people.

She felt great pain in her heart and her eyes were full of despair.

"Xiaomu..."

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and her vision immediately turned black, and she completely fainted.

The two women lifted Zhou Qingyan up and left here quickly.

Xiao Guozhang and Zong Lin stood not far away, watching this scene.

All that flashed in their eyes were the flames soaring into the sky.

Xiao Guozhang turned to look at Zong Lin: "Is this your method?"

"No one can predict natural and man-made disasters, so how could Miss Zhou blame us? Xiaomu's hand has been broken, and she will be a disabled person from now on. There is no use in keeping Xiaomu. Does the emperor want to raise a disabled person?" Zong Lin replied without any emotion.

Xiao Guozhang pursed his lips and smiled coldly.

"Of course I don't want to raise a useless person..."

"Just take care of the tail. Don't let Zhou Qingyan know the truth. Otherwise, it may be counterproductive."

Zong Lin was extremely confident, and he replied sternly: "Don't worry, Abbot, it is absolutely foolproof. Zhou Qingyan will not know any truth."

Xiao Guozhang turned around and left with a feeling of relief.

Zong Lin stood there and watched Xiao Guozhang leave. Then he walked to the sea of ​​​​fire and ordered his servants to put out the fire in an extremely calm and calm manner.
