Neighbors around helped put out the fire, but not even a single servant in Fan's mansion could escape.
Officials rushed in to fetch water to put out the fire. The surrounding area of Fan's house was in chaos.
Fan Xilou shouted loudly: "Father! Mother!"
After he finished speaking, he was about to rush into the fire, but the neighbor next to him grabbed him: "The fire is too big! You can't go in!"
Fan Xilou has always had a very gentle temperament, and he blushes easily when talking to others.
At this time, he was like crazy, struggling desperately: "My parents are still inside! I want to go in and save them!"
The neighbor held him tightly and said, "Uncle Fan and Aunt Fan haven't come out yet."
"The fire is so big, not only can you not save them if you go in, you will probably die in it!"
As if in response to his words, the gatehouse of Fan Mansion was burned through. The pillars tilted and fell sideways to the ground, and the gatehouse fell apart.
Once the gate tower collapsed, we could clearly see the fire inside Fan Mansion.
The fire inside was even greater than outside, and everything was swallowed up by the fire.
Fan Xilou knew that no one could survive in such a fire.
But he thought that when he was having dinner in the evening, he was still chatting and laughing with Fan's father and Fan's mother. At this time, they were separated forever.
How could he bear it? He fainted as soon as his eyes rolled.
Fan's houses were all made of fine wood, and the fire burned all night long.
By noon the next day, the fire was barely put out.
Fan Xilou immediately rushed into the residence of Fan's father and Fan's mother, and found two burnt corpses with the help of the official.
In addition, none of Fan Xilou's brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, servants, and maids, a total of seventy-eight people, survived.
Fan Xilou escaped because he did not sleep in the house at night.
The huge blow made Fan Xilou feel a little confused and his brain felt like mush.
But even so, he still felt something was wrong. How could so many people in the house be burned to death in a normal fire?
Unless it's murder!
When the word "murder" popped into Fan Xilou's mind, his face turned pale.
If he hadn't suddenly decided to sleep in the warehouse at night, would he have died in the fire?
Who wants to kill their whole family?
Father Fan is very kind and charitable in his business. Although he may have some minor bumps into others, they are harmless and will not lead to such cruelty.
And killing the entire Fan family silently is definitely not something ordinary people can do.
No one was left alive in the Fan Mansion, and the entire Fan Mansion was set on fire. Is the murderer trying to cover up something?
Fan Xilou had a splitting headache thinking about it, but still had no clue.
He went to ask his neighbors if there was anything unusual in Fan's house last night. After thinking about it for a while, no one heard anything unusual.
The murderer left no traces, and Fan Xilou couldn't trace it even if he wanted to.
Overnight, Fan Xilou's happy home was completely shattered.
He went from being the young master of the Fan Mansion to a debtor with nothing, and people came to him every day to collect debts.
But no one came to return the money that Fan's father lent.
The sky of Fan Xilou collapsed.
Lin Xiuyan didn't know that such a big thing had happened in Fan Mansion thousands of miles away, nor did she know that Fan Xilou's fate had reached a turning point in his previous life.
She was packing her things and preparing to go back to Pingnan Palace, because the Dragon Boat Festival would be in three days.
According to Lin Yunzhi and Qu Shuangyue's thoughts, they naturally wanted her to spend the Dragon Boat Festival at Lin Mansion.
But even if King Pingnan and Princess Pingnan no longer want to see her and Ye Junfei, their identities are still there.
They all have to attend the Dragon Boat Festival ceremony.
Lin Yunzhi once again felt that there was no benefit at all for Lin Xiuyan to get married, and she couldn't even spend the holidays with them.
So when he looked at Ye Junfei, he saw eyes instead of eyes, and a nose instead of nose.
Ye Junfei saw Lin Yunzhi's dark face all day long and felt that he couldn't go on like this.
He then said to Lin Yunzhi: "When I become the Prince of Pingnan, I will take my parents into the Prince's Mansion to live there."
His words reluctantly made Lin Yunzhi give him a better look: "I have written these words down, and you should move faster!"
Ye Junfei smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll try my best to be the King of Pingnan within a year."
Lin Yunzhi praised him: "A prince who doesn't want to be a prince is not a good prince. You are obviously qualified."
"If you have this ambition, let's discuss how to handle this matter."
So, Weng and his son-in-law got together to figure out how to kill King Pingnan.
Lin Xiuyan was speechless when she heard them muttering about this matter.
But she also had to admit that if Ye Junfei was determined to please someone, he could really make that person happy.
After Ye Junfei and Lin Yunzhi finished their discussion, Lin Yunzhi's eyes when he looked at Ye Junfei became obviously much gentler.
After Lin Xiuyan and Ye Junfei left the Lin Mansion on horseback, she whispered: "Don't make blind promises to dad!"
"If you can't do it then, he will talk about you until you go crazy every day."
In other people's families, the only thing they miss is their mother, but in her family, it's the other way around.
She would rather piss off Qu Shuangyue and get beaten up than listen to Lin Yunzhi whispering in her ears.
Ye Junfei said with a smile: "I didn't make any blind promises to dad, that's the goal I set."
"Two years is enough."
Lin Xiuyan looked at him, and he said softly: "I used to be alone, and they came to bully me, but I endured it and passed on."
"I can't let you suffer with me now, and I can't let my father-in-law say that after you marry me, your life will be worse than when you were in your mother's family."
Lin Xiuyan was a little surprised when she heard this. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said softly: "They can't bully me."
Ye Junfei's peach blossom eyes looked at her gently: "Whether they bully you or not, and whether they can bully you are two different things."
"They haven't stopped since we got married."
Lin Xiuyan said seriously: "Actually, I think it's quite fun. It saves me from having no one to play with me at home, which is quite boring."
Ye Junfei: "..."
She took this kind of thing as a joke, and he was convinced.
His peach blossom eyes sparkled: "If you want someone to play with you, you can come to me."
"Not only do I know all their ways of playing, but I also know how to play things they don't know."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She always felt that what he said meant something else, but she had no proof.
Wu Ge led a group of guards to deliberately lag behind them to give them enough space.
He felt that once the eldest son of his family met the eldest concubine, he would become a waste of money.
As soon as they walked outside Yucheng, they saw fireworks exploding in the sky in the distance.
Ye Junfei's expression changed drastically, and Wu Ge said, "These are the fireworks we use to communicate."
"Look in this direction, it's the direction of Zhuangzi. They are asking for help!"
Ye Junfei said with a cold face: "I underestimated the shamelessness of those people in Pingnan Palace!"
