Chapter 6 Daddy, it hurts so much
late at night.

Shen Yinlu was awakened by the strong choking smoke and dazzling firelight.

When she reacted, the fiery dragon was so fierce that it had already set fire to the door and window, trying to break in.

Shen Yinlu quickly threw off the quilt and got out of bed. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes, and ran out from the threshold full of flames——

The neighbors outside were already in a mess, running around shouting complaints, and some came running to put out the fire with buckets of water.
Shen Yinlu stood there, looking at the uncontrollable fire at the door in front of him. He was confused for a while, then suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at the sky on the other side that was also illuminated by the fire——

Her whole body went numb.

Dad, Mom.
When Shen Yinwen went to the main room, the fire had already reached the roof, and thick smoke was billowing inside. Looking from the outside, he couldn't see what was going on inside.

"Father, mother!!!" Shen Yinlu shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Fuck--"

Shen Zhang's voice came from behind.

Shen turned around and saw his mother wrapped in quilt with Mrs. Liu.

She ran over quickly: "Mom, are you okay?"

Seeing that her daughter was fine, Mrs. Shen Zhang finally squeezed out a smile from her tear-filled face, but the smile was too ugly and only lasted for a moment before being covered in pain again:

"Mom is fine. Please help your dad. Your dad is still in the house. Go and call Uncle Lin."

The fire was so intense that none of the neighbors dared to risk going in to rescue it.

Shen Yinlu's breathing suddenly froze. He looked back at the ferocious fire. It was too late to call Uncle Lin at this moment.

She walked towards the neighbor who came to put out the fire with water and begged: "Uncle Zhao, my father is still inside."

"The fire is too strong. There's no way to get in. Go get the water!"

Shen Yinlu: "."

She watched as the neighbor poured buckets of water on the door. The fire was submerged by the water, but at the same time a lot of thick smoke was emitted. If this continued, even if the fire was controlled, her father would be in danger.
No, I dare not delay any longer.

Shen Yinlu glanced around, then moved a stone and threw it at the door.

A hole was made in the crisp door body.

Shen Yinlu grabbed a bucket of water from someone else's hand and poured it down from the head. When Shen Zhang, who was behind him, noticed his daughter's intention, he had already run into the fire——

"what."

Mrs. Shen Zhang screamed like crazy and stood up to grab something, but Mrs. Liu beside her hugged her waist tightly.

"Let go, let me go."

Shen Zhang's eyes were red, she lost her mind and opened her hands to hit Mrs. Liu who was holding her back.

The women around also hurriedly came up to help and held down Shen Zhang.

"Ah, please let me go, fuck, save my child, please save my child."
-
Shen Yinlu ran in wet, but in the blink of an eye, she felt that her whole body was being burned, and the thick smoke made her unable to open her eyes. She could only lie down as low as possible and move based on memory - —

"Dad?" she shouted.

"Fuck cough cough - dad is here."

Hearing the response, Shen Linong's tight string finally relaxed. Looking for the sound, he knelt and crawled forward for a while, and finally saw Shen Linong lying on the ground.

She quickly crawled to Shen Linong's side with her hands and feet, reaching out to help Shen Linong stand up.

Shen Linong took advantage of his strength and barely stood up. Just as he was about to take a step, Shen Linong couldn't bear the strength and fell to the ground again.

"father!"

By the light of the fire, Shen Yinlu discovered that the trousers and clothing on Shen Linong's legs had been burned, and most of the exposed skin was covered with burnt black clothing, which must have been extremely painful due to the intensity of the fire.

Shen Linong breathed heavily: "Fangchen, leave me alone, get out quickly."

Shen Yinlu looked at her father lying at her feet, and then looked at the growing fire around her. She was only ten steps away from the door. If she had to run, she could still escape completely.

But if you bring someone who is unable to move, the distance of ten steps will be too long.

In the face of life and death, the ugly selfishness of human nature has no way to hide.

Shen Yinlu swallowed his saliva and knelt down: "Hurry up, I'll carry you out."

"Fuck--"

Shen Linong wanted to refuse, but was interrupted sharply by Shen Yinlu:
"Come on, do you want us all to die here?!"

She is greedy for life and afraid of death, but she doesn't want to be a sinner who refuses to save her life.

I don't even want to bear the pain of losing my father.

Seeing the small back in front of him, Shen Linong's eyes filled with tears, he no longer hesitated and climbed onto his daughter's back with great effort.

Shen Yinlu grabbed Shen Linong's arm, gritted his teeth and stood up with difficulty, and walked towards the gap——

After just two or three steps, the tiles on the house suddenly collapsed and fell, hitting Shen Linong on his body.

At the same time, Shen Yinlu couldn't bear the strength and knelt heavily on the broken tiles on the ground with her left knee. The pain was so painful that she couldn't help but open her mouth and scream.

"Ah! Daddy, it hurts!"

she cries.

But there was no comforting response.

Only then did she realize that her father's head was hanging limply on her shoulder.

"father?"

She tentatively relaxed her hold on her father's arm, and the weight on her back suddenly showed signs of loosening.

Shen Yinlu was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore. He held on to his father's arm even more tightly. He gritted his teeth and endured the bleeding pain in his left knee. He stood up and dragged his father behind him forward -

The fire in front was so strong that it even burned the floor.

The weight on her back became heavier. She walked slowly. Every step she took, the soles of her feet felt like walking on charcoal fire. The pain made her sob and couldn't control her tears.
The bucket of water you poured on when you came in has long been dried up.Her face was glowing red under the firelight, as if it only took a small firefly to set her whole body on fire.

She couldn't bear it any longer.

Daddy, I'm sorry——

Shen Yinlu felt her head was dizzy and heavy, and finally she fell heavily on the ground, but the burning heat in her body made her feel clearly, waiting for the final arrival of death.
Just when she thought she and her father were going to die here, several people in black clothes came in and dragged her and her father out——

When he saw his mother crying in grief, Shen Yinlu's vision finally turned black and he fainted.

Chen House.

Liu Fengqin returned home today. The two of them got up early. Chen Yuanxin had just left the room when Li Shan, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, came forward:
"Sir, there was a flood in the Shen family last night and there was a fire. I heard that Shen Linong died."

"Shen Linong is dead?" Chen Yuanxin frowned.

"It's been humid recently, how could it catch fire?"

Li Shan raised his eyes and said, "I don't know, the fire started at night. By the time the neighbors noticed it, the fire was already so fierce that it couldn't be contained. Others speculated and said..."

Li Shan paused for a moment and continued: "It is said that the Shen family has offended their enemies."

He had tried to put it as tactfully as possible.

Chen Yuanxin instantly understood that this was pointing the finger at him!

"Could it be someone from the bank who did it?" Chen Yuanxin guessed.

It was he who sent Li Shan to Jifu Bank to speak. Afterwards, he also heard from Li Shan that Shen Yinlu had a dispute and conflict with the people at the bank and even took action.

Li Shan: "I don't know. Do you want to ask?"

Chen Yuanxin thought for a moment: "No, it's none of my business. Don't take the initiative to get involved -"

It's not a good thing to get together at this juncture.

He wouldn't even set fire to kill someone for 500 taels of silver.
-
Willow House.

Liu Honggao didn't appreciate his son-in-law Chen Yuanxin as much as he did before. He even lost his politeness. He was cold-faced throughout the whole process and turned a blind eye to Chen Yuanxin. Even his daughter Liu Fengqin didn't look good.

Chen Yuanxin found an opportunity and approached Liu Honggao alone. He knelt down in front of him and then said:

"I failed to prevent the accident that happened during the wedding ceremony. It is my fault. My father-in-law blames me and punishes me. I have no complaints. But please don't anger Feng Qin."

They all knelt down in front of their eyes. Liu Honggao could only respond: "You said it was an accident. You don't have the ability to predict the future. It's normal to be unable to prevent it. I don't blame you."

Then he said again: "We are all a family. Stop kneeling. If anyone looks at you, it will be hard for me, my father-in-law, to get along with you."

Chen Yuanxin then stood up obediently.

"Sit-" Liu Honggao spoke.

As soon as Chen Yuanxin sat down, Liu Honggao continued: "I heard that you went to the Shen family the next day, and after a lot of official pressure, you forced the dead Shen family daughter to kneel and kowtow at the door of your house??"

The tone was just a steady inquiry, but Chen Yuanxin heard something else and quickly stood up to answer:

"Father-in-law, we both love the daughter of the Shen family, and after struggling with her to no avail, she wants to force me to surrender and accept her as my concubine. How can I surrender and agree? She also pretends to be dead to fool her, hoping to escape responsibility."

Chen Yuanxin was talking with excitement, as if he was angry.

After he adjusted his breath, he continued to speak slowly: "Letting the Shen daughter kowtow and apologize is just a small punishment, and it is also to calm Feng Qin's anger."

This last sentence made Liu Hong raise his eyes and look at Chen Yuanxin's low-brow look, feeling a little unhappy.

He asked people to investigate Chen Yuanxin's three years in Beijing, and also sent letters to people to investigate Chen Yuanxin's background in his hometown.

This man is not a gentleman, but a villain. If his daughter had not been pregnant, he would never have married his daughter to him!

This is the end of the matter, and there is no turning back.

Liu Hong and Gao Siming said solemnly: "No matter what the reason is, you are new to the Crown Prince's office, and no matter how the people and colleagues talk about you, the Crown Prince has always been kind and kind, and he will never bully others with his power."

Chen Yuanxin listened respectfully, but few words could sink into his heart.

He must disclose his relationship with Shen Yinluo, otherwise, if outsiders know that he is supported by the Shen family as a son-in-law, how will he be able to raise his head among his colleagues, and how will the scholars laugh at him?
Therefore, even if Shen Yinlu is dead, he must 'make it clear'!

As for fame and fame, Shen Yinlu stopped his wedding party in public, cried and expressed his infatuation with him, and asked for a concubine position. He was so unruly that no one could spit on him.

"It may be a small matter, but unruly people are the most difficult to deal with. If you stumble over this matter, how will you be able to move forward in the future?"

Chen Yuanxin lowered his head, "My father-in-law taught me that my son-in-law must be careful in the future."

Chen Yuanxin's submissive and obedient appearance made Liu Honggao feel a little relieved.

Such cunning scholars are rare, and they should make a difference in the officialdom of the court.

"Go and spend more time with Fengqin and your mother-in-law!"

"Yes."

As soon as Chen Yuanxin left, the housekeeper waiting at the door came in and whispered:
"Master, the Shen family was in trouble last night. His Royal Highness' people arrived and rescued the Shen family and his daughter."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?" Liu Honggao was puzzled.

The butler responded: "I heard that the prince stayed at Taifu Cheng's private residence yesterday. The Taifu's house is not far from the Shen family. Maybe the light of the fire disturbed the prince."

Liu Honggao looked serious: "There is no investigation, right?"

"No, His Royal Highness's people rescued people and put out the fire and then left. The neighbors were just talking about it, but no one pursued the cause of the fire."

Such a huge fire, even if there was any evidence left, it would have been burned away along with the roof.

Liu Honggao was worried, but it was hard to do anything right now.

He still values ​​Chen Yuanxin and intends to help Chen Yuanxin make a difference in the court in the future.

I just never thought that I would provoke His Highness the Crown Prince to take action.

But after thinking about it, the prince has always been kind and friendly to the people. It is reasonable for him to send someone to help when there is a fire nearby. He should not pursue an ordinary leakage!
