Chapter 68 Firelight

The New Year has passed, and Yin Qi and the others have finally waited for the Zhongyuan Festival.

The celebration began early in the morning and until late at night. The most popular lantern festival was the evening.

Last year, Yin Qi came out with Yin Tingxiu until very late, and this time she was not so lucky.

Yin Zhengyuan was much more cautious than they thought, and hesitated when Yin Qi left the mansion. Fortunately, Tao Ying asked for help in secret, and she told Yin Zhengyuan that she also planned to go to the lantern festival, and it would be too lonely without children to accompany her.

In the afternoon, the group successfully left the mansion. In the past, they used to walk, but this time they had to take a carriage because Tao Ying was with her. In addition to Aunt Li and Qiu Rong, they also followed Yang Cheng and other guards.

Yin Tingxiu was very worried. He came out, but how could he escape under the noses of these people?

Yin Qi and Jiang Yuenu sat in the carriage. Both of them knew that Tao Ying would help them escape, so they naturally didn't feel any worries and just waited for the right time to come.

The carriage all the way to the south of the city, where the Lantern Festival is located.

Tao Ying got off the carriage, gently held her forehead and said, "I'm a little tired. Go to the inn over there to rest. You guys go to play first."

Before Tao Ying could speak, Yang Cheng stood behind the mistress consciously, obviously planning to follow her.

Yin Tingxiu naturally couldn't ask for it, but he was reluctant to leave when answering, "Let's leave first, mother take care of her health."

Tao Ying looked at her son gently, "Well, have fun and take good care of herself and her sister."

Yin Tingxiu lowered his head and turned around and left with great strides. Yin Qi and the other two quickly followed.

She knew that the reason why her brother left was probably because she was afraid that her tears would flow out! Yin Qi couldn't help but admire Tao Ying even more. She knew that her son was leaving, but she did not drag her back and did not show any abnormality. It was so decisive that it made people feel distressed.

After getting rid of Tao Ying and Yang Cheng, only one young guard followed the four, which was very easy to deal with.

When he walked to the place where no one was around, Bai Yin secretly walked behind the guard while he was unprepared, and then he knocked him down with a knife.

Although no one follows, most of the people come out to watch the lanterns, and there are crowds of people, and they are in danger of being recognized wherever they go.

Yin Qi bought four masks on the street and asked her companions to wear them, so she would not be noticed even if she was in the crowd.

From the Lantern Festival to Uncle Ya is not close, they dare not delay and move quickly.

In the inn, Tao Ying didn't rest for long, but in just one stick of incense, she walked to the hall.

Seeing that she was ready to go, Yang Cheng asked, "Madam, want to go find the young master and the others?"

Tao Ying shook her head, "No, I want to go back to my mother's house to take a look. You can wait for Tingxiu here!"

After saying that, he had already gone out and got on the carriage. Suddenly, Yang Cheng thought about it too much, but he thought something was a bit strange.

"Madam, don't watch the lantern festival?"

"Of course I have to see!" Tao Ying smiled, "But it's still early, I'll go back."

Yang Cheng knew his wife's temper very well, so he didn't say much, and just let the remaining guards follow him.

He was left alone, Yang Cheng asked for a pot of wine and started drinking it himself. After drinking several cups, he still couldn't dilute the depression in his heart.

Something was about to happen, Yang Cheng thought, it was not normal for this mother and son to do this today.

Yang Cheng stood up and didn't plan to wait. But the mother and son were not in front of him, so he would go and see who he should take care of first?

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhi immediately got on his horse and rushed to the northwest.

There were many people who came to watch the lanterns on the road. Yang Cheng turned against them and it was very inconvenient to walk. When he approached the Tao Mansion, the horse ran smoothly.

When you pass through an alley, there is a faint fire in front of you, and you can still hear the sound of gongs and shouts.

Finally, I arrived at the door of Tao Mansion, and saw that the door of the mansion was wide open, and the fire was rising into the sky. Many people were in and out, including family members and servants, as well as many people who were fishing for troubled waters, holding silver, money and jewelry in their hands.

There were only two guards at the door, and how could they resist such a chaotic scene! Seeing Yang Cheng was like seeing a savior, he shouted excitedly: "Sir Yang Wu, the second wife is going crazy inside, come and take a look."

This was said unrestrainedly, Yang Cheng lowered his face and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, what does it mean to go crazy?"

"Really! The lady burned the silver treasury and ordered several nearby wing rooms. While everyone was putting out the fire, she ran out and threw a lot of money on the street, instigating people to go to the mansion to rob!"

Yang Cheng grabbed the guard's collar, picked him up, and said fiercely: "Where is Madam now?"

"It seems like I've entered a fired house and haven't come out yet."

Tao Ying is not crazy, she is trying to commit suicide in a grand manner.

Yang Cheng rushed into the yard and intercepted several running servants on the road, and finally asked where Tao Ying was.

When they arrived, several guards disappeared, only Aunt Li and Qiurong were extinguishing the fire in front of the door and crying.

Qiu Rong first discovered him and said anxiously: "Sir Yang Wu, please find a way to save your wife!"

Yang Cheng didn't say anything. He turned around and cut a bucket of water on his body, then covered his mouth and nose with his wet sleeves, and rushed into the fire.

The fire inside was burning, and Yang Cheng was roasted and hurt. Fortunately, the house was not big, so he quickly found Tao Ying and saw that the person had fainted. Yang Cheng quickly picked her up and rushed out.

Tao Ying was very injured and couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed, and her pulse was very weak. After Aunt Li pinched her for a while, she finally woke up slowly.

Her eyes were blurred, and it took her a while to realize that she was still alive, and she whispered: "Tingxiu, Tingxiu..."

Yang Chengying said: "Young Master is still at the lantern party!"

Tao Ying smiled and shook her head, "I hope everything is fine." After that, she closed her eyes again.

The doctor came here at this time, and after checking, he sighed and said, "I can't stand tonight, prepare for my funeral!"

Qiu Rong immediately started crying, while Aunt Li cursed: "The person is still there, who are you? How dare you talk nonsense! When our Yin Mansion doctor comes over, see what else you have to say!"

But Yang Cheng suddenly stood up and planned to leave, "Take good care of your wife, I'll find the young master."

He left the Tao Mansion, rode his horse and walked south for a while, and then suddenly turned toward Baihe Inn.

Yang Cheng planned to believe his intuition. He guessed that Yin Qi was about to pull his brother to escape. Based on his observations a few days ago, Shen Tian or Baihe Inn must have had some connection with their plans.

Faster, faster, Yang Cheng urged himself, no matter what, Yin Tingxiu had to come to Tao Ying, and there might be a glimmer of hope, otherwise she would not live.

Why did Tao Ying do this? She is obviously a woman, but she is so stubborn and determined. She doesn’t want to live a mess and would rather die!

The horse moved forward, Yang Cheng held the reins and thought: Actually, we are not worthy of her! Whether it is Yin Zhengchuan or himself, they have only escaped over the years.
