Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 42: Found, Emotionally Moved

When the two captains learned that the Head Minister of Rites and the Head Magistrate of the Judicial Court were also at the scene, they hurriedly went over to pay their respects.

Luo Pei Shan had a cold expression, however he didn't randomly take his anger out on them, "This old one's granddaughter still hasn't been found. Asking to trouble the city defense squad to send some people to help look for her." At this time, he naturally didn't have any portraits to give them. Besides, it's not absolutely necessarily to need a portrait to find someone either.

The fire rescue army captain, practically without even thinking, agreed to help look. Originally, letting the city defense squad help was already somewhat neglecting the public duty for a private cause. To think this fire rescue army captain was actually still thinking about trying to gain personal favor at this time, now that was really failing one's duty. "Then why don't you go into the Hundred Flower Building and help this old man look then."

The fire rescue squad captain's soul was nearly scared out of his body by Luo Pei Shan's icy gaze. "S-sir, please forgive me."

"Sir, it is chaotic here and truly not safe, how about moving to another place first." He then looked to the unknown which family's little daughter next to them. If these few were to have any mishap, it was undoubtedly a 'life losing' matter.

"No need. Just take care of your own matters." From the start, they've been standing in a relatively safe corner that didn't block the path in any way. The fire's reach won't spread to this place, and it won't affect those people who were frantically escaping from danger either.

If it weren't for the fact that of the three of them, two were elderly old men, and one was an unmarried young lady, and were prone to mishap amidst this chaos, they probably would have gone to help search too.

Time gradually went by little by little. Luo Pei Shan's expression became increasingly unwell. He was practically convinced that his good granddaughter wasn't able to leave the Hundred Flower Building. For a moment, he very much blamed himself. If it wasn't for him greedily wanting to take that girl out, or if he was able to have looked after her some more, then she probably wouldn't have had to suffer this unexpected calamity. Also there was his old wife, she loved the third girl that much. The old having to send off the young. How will she be able to bear.....

"She's found, she's found, old master, third miss has been found." The servant's excited voice was heard in the distant.

Looking to the Hundred Flower Building's raging flames, Luo Pei Shan was nearly in despair. There was even that short period of time, where he seemed to have lost his soul. The servant's voice suddenly startled him awake, "Where at?" Following the voice, he hastily rushed over.

A sorrowful looking Sun Yi Jia also immediately let out a happy expression and quickly followed after.

Gong mama slowly walked forward carrying Jing Wan with a limp. Sun Yi Lin was next to her, separated by a bit of distance, shielding. Gong mama's leg appeared to be injured, yet she steadily held Jing Wan in her arms.

"What happened?" Luo Pei Shan saw that Gong mama's hair was disheveled, and both, on her face and body, were some traces black ash. Looking at that stance, her leg seems to be quite injured as well, but more importantly, third girl seems to be unconscious.

"Old master, please forgive me, it's all this servant's fault for not protecting Miss well. There were too many people, and when going down the stairs, Miss accidentally got bumped. This servant worried that we wouldn't be able to get out any time soon, and seeing that the back door was closer, decided to take Miss to towards that side. However, unexpectedly, the back side was just as chaotic. While passing through the winding corridors, a horizontal wood beam fell, and this servant got shoved. This servant sprained an ankle, and Miss hit her head again. With Miss like this, it was difficult to move about carrying her, so we spent quite some time trying to get out." In order for the story to be able to match on both sides, Gong mama blurred the time when Jing Wan was unconscious. Because she was very clear, Miss was definitely fine, so the specifics won't be examined too closely. However, she felt rather guilty inside.
