Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage |LK|

Getting Even (Part 1)

As they were thinking, Shen Xin and his wife had walked to Old Shen Furen with Shen jimin into the banquet. Seeing that all the guest were silent and staring weirdly at them, Luo Xue Yan frowned. She felt that something was wrong but she was unable to tell what had gone wrong.

It was Shen jimin that glanced at the table and carefully and seriously looked at the surroundings before doubtfully asking, "Grandmother, why is Younger Sister not seen on this table?"

With that, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan also noticed. Shen Yue was present and even Shen Dong Ling, the Shu daughter of the Second household was also present but there was no sight of Shen Qing and Shen lisa in the group of Young Ladies. Shen Xin's smile paused as he asked, "Mother, where have lili go?"

Old Shen Furen was lost for words, what should she say? Ren Wan Yun herself said to call for guards but her actions were slow and obviously did not take the matter to heart. They were all still sitting down and did not leave the banquet.

"Grand General Shen!" It was Feng rose that suddenly stood up and loudly spoke, "You came back just in time. Just now the ancestral hall caught fire and Fifth Shen Young Lady is currently trapped in there!"

She deliberately made her words outrageous but this was also done to stand up for Shen lisa. Feng rose was very much doted in the Feng family and had never encounter such a situation like today. Even if she fell, everyone would come out to pour their concern. To see Shen lisa encounter such a danger and then the Shen residence people all had a calm expression, she felt sympathy for Shen lisa. Since Shen Xin came back in such a coincidence, she quickly complained.

When the words were spoken, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan were stunned a moment. The ancestral hall caught fire and Shen lisa was trapped in there. Without any rhyme or reason, why would Shen lisa go to the ancestral hall? And the most important thing was why was Shen lisa in danger and all these Shen family members could still make merry in the banquet?

Ren Wan Yun recovered her senses and quickly explained, "Eldest Brother, Eldest Sao, I was about to go to look for guards when you all return..."

Before she could even finish her words, Shen Xin passed by her side without a second word and the look that he gave Ren Wan Yun felt like an icehouse. It was indeed too scary and too fierce.

Luo Xue Yan and Shen jimin also suddenly recovered and rushed towards the ancestral hall without a second word.

In the ancestral hall, the fire got fiercer till it almost became a huge fireball and in the middle of it, stood Shen lisa who held a wet handkerchief that was prepared beforehand to cover her mouth and nose. Xie Jungkook however was looking at her with a frown. Even though there was choking smoke all around, he was very relaxed and there were no traces of panic as he said to Shen lisa, "If you still do not go out, you will really die in here."

"If you still do not go out, you can only be buried with me." Shen lisa retorted.

"Clever and eloquent." Xie Jungkook smiled without a care, "What are you waiting for?"

He had not finished speaking when he heard a roar from outside, "lili!"

Xie Jungkook swept his eyes over to the window and saw that he was able to see an area that was not affected by the flames, the people there were not someone else but the Shen Xin couple and Shen jimin.

When Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan thought about the fire, they did not expect that the blaze was so ferocious that it burned one's eyes. The ancestral hall was surrounded with a line of guards but no one went in to save anyone and just were using some bucket to put out the fire with water. It was like using a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. If one were to wait for them to put it out, how would Shen lisa still be alive.
