Chapter 167 My Husband Burned to Death Saving Me
Chapter 167 My Husband Burned to Death Saving Me
Late at night, a fire broke out in the bedroom of Mrs. Han Yuanyuan of the Jiang family.
When her husband Jiang Hua, who was in the study, heard about it, he rushed in to save her immediately despite others' dissuasion.
The unconscious Han Yuanyuan was rescued, but Jiang Hua did not come out. Many people said that he was burned to death in the fire.
Poor Han Yuanyuan, she has become a widow just one month after getting married.
Looking at the whole family, Han Yuanyuan decided to support the Jiang family. She served her mother-in-law, took care of her younger brother-in-law Jiang Huai, paid for his education, and helped him get married and have children.
Jiang Huai was grateful to her and wanted to register his son Jiang Mingjie under Han Yuanyuan's name, asking her to raise him and keep him as a companion.
Han Yuanyuan worked hard to raise Jiang Mingjie, hired the best teachers for him, and helped him become the top scorer in the imperial examination.
Unexpectedly, on the day he picked the top scorer, he gave Han Yuanyuan a cup of poisoned wine.
"I'm not Jiang Huai's son, I'm Jiang Hua's son! And you're just the housekeeper of my Jiang family! Now that I'm grown up, you can go and die."
Only then did Han Yuanyuan understand everything.
"I want that family to die miserably!"
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
……
"The water is gone! The water is gone!"
There were shouts from the Jiang Mansion courtyard. Jiang Hua hurried over, his eyes red, and shouted, "Madam!" as he rushed inside.
He was stopped by the quick-witted butler, "Master, Master, you can't do that! The fire is too strong!"
Ginger: Is it hot? It looks hot, but it's not hot enough.
The outside of the house was on fire, but there was a secret passage inside. In his previous life, Jiang Hua had first sent Han Yuanyuan out, then returned and tunneled out of the Jiang Mansion. He also left a good reputation for being a man of loyalty and righteousness.
"Let go! I must save my wife!"
Jiang Hua broke free from the housekeeper and rushed into the house. He saw that Sheng Jiang was unconscious. But she was just pretending.
Jiang Hua wanted to say something when he suddenly started coughing due to choking on the smoke.
That's not right. How did the fire get bigger? Didn't they say it only needed a little smoke?
The people outside were still putting out the fire. "It's okay, don't worry." He ran out holding the ginger.
Then, he seemed to remember something, "Oh no! The token of love between my wife and I is still in the house. I need to get it out!"
At this time, the housekeeper shouted, "Master, the old lady's yard is also on fire!"
A servant on the other side ran over, "Master, this is bad! The second young master's place is on fire too! We can't put it out no matter what we do!"
Jiang Hua: What's going on? Didn't they say they only wanted to select this courtyard?
He wanted to escape, but was worried about his mother. He glanced at the unconscious Jiang, and his eyes flashed with disgust: "You are so useless!"
Save my mother? Or go outside the house to find Bai Yueguang? This is the question.
After hesitating for a long time, I decided to go and save my mother. I believe Bai Yueguang can understand, right?
"You guys, go and save the second young master!" After saying that, Jiang Hua ran towards the old lady's courtyard.
But he was still too late. The old lady's skin had been burned, and most of her body was burned, with her face black.
The doctor said I'd have to stay in bed from now on. The worst part was that the smoke had choked my throat, making it difficult for me to speak.
Ginger: Hehe, I don’t have to listen to this old man’s nagging.
In the previous life, Jiang Hua had been sleeping in the study for a month after getting married, and he didn't touch Han Yuanyuan at all. The old lady knew everything.
She also disliked Han Yuanyuan, thinking she was too honest and quiet. If it weren't for her family's wealth, she wouldn't have agreed to let her son marry her.
Afterwards, Jiang Hua faked his own death. Lao Deng comforted the guilty Han Yuanyuan on the surface, saying, "My dear, this is not your fault. It was my son's life. But if he hadn't saved you, he would have lived an uneasy life. Hua'er is gone, but we who are still alive must go on living..."
Just ask yourself, who wouldn’t be confused after hearing such sincere and heartfelt words?
This is much smarter than those who are vicious in words and heart.
Han Yuanyuan was also moved to tears and made up her mind to protect the Jiang family, so she was willing to be a workhorse.
This time Lao Deng can’t speak, let’s see how she brainwashes him?
Jiang Huai was also rescued. The doctor said that the thick smoke choked his nasal cavity and entered his brain, damaging it. He may become slow to react and have difficulty reading in the future.
Slow to react? Not a fool. Hey, that's perfect. Being a complete fool wouldn't be fun, because fools don't feel pain.
Is studying hard? I guess no matter how many exams I take, I'll never pass. If I could awaken my past life memories, would I be devastated?
Jiang Hua was overwhelmed. This was the most promising student in the Jiang family's generation. At this moment, Bai Yueguang was completely out of his mind. He only wanted to find a way to cure his mother and brother.
Over there, Bai Yueguang waited at the tunnel exit for a whole night and a day, but Jiang Hua didn't show up, so she couldn't help but run to Jiang's house.
Jiang Hua was shocked, "Why are you here? What if that bitch sees us? How can we live freely in the future?"
Bai Yueguang looked at Jiang Huai, who had become a fool, and the old lady paralyzed on the bed, with disdain in her eyes. She didn't want to serve anyone.
With a look of grievance, she said, "Brother Hua, I'm worried about you. You don't know, I waited for you all night last night, I was shivering from the cold, and now my body is still cold, if you don't believe me, just touch it..."
Jiang Hua suddenly smelled something bad and quickly jumped away, "What's that smell on you? It stinks so bad?"
Bai Yueguang lowered her head and sniffed, "That shouldn't be the case. I washed it for a long time and used a lot of petals. The smell is long gone."
"You, what happened last night?"
"I was waiting for you at the entrance of the alley. In the middle of the night, some wicked person poured a basin of urine on me. Luckily, I hid quickly." Bai Yueguang cried, "Brother Hua, you have to help me. Someone must be plotting against me!"
Jiang Hua thought about how so many things had happened in the mansion suddenly, and Bai Yueguang's sudden appearance. Maybe it was the Jiang family's enemy who came to seek revenge.
As for Han Yuanyuan, he had his suspicions, but the person who had been watching her last night said she had never woken up.
The doctor said that if she didn't wake up, she might never wake up again. This was a good thing, because her dowry would belong to her family.
So they sent people to move things from Han Yuanyuan's yard. Unexpectedly, the people who came back said, "Master, the young lady's yard is empty, there is nothing left."
"A burglar?"
"unclear"
A maid came over and said, "Master, everything in our storehouse is gone! It seems like someone stole it."
"How can this be?"
Jiang Hua ran over in a hurry, and when he came back he found that the old lady and the young master's yard were also empty.
"Lure the tiger away from the mountain? Lure the tiger away from the mountain!" Jiang Hua suddenly woke up, "Quick! Close the gate! The thief must not have left yet!"
Looking at Jiang Hua and Bai Yueguang, who were busy as hell, Sheng Jiang sneered: "In their last life, they were living a carefree life with the money earned by Han Yuanyuan. In this life, no matter what, you have to manage your own household."
No matter how hard Jiang Hua investigated, he found no useful clues. After reporting the case to the police, they investigated for a long time but found no clues and left.
Instead, people outside started talking about it:
"Have you heard about the Jiang family? It's really bizarre."
"Isn't it? In this autumn, with all the rain and gloom, how can there be a fire?"
"I heard that the first place that caught fire was the eldest young lady's house, followed by the old lady and the young master's house. It's really strange."
"Let me tell you a little gossip. The eldest young master was once engaged to his cousin. Later, his cousin's parents died, and the family property was seized by his uncles. She had no choice but to come to him.
But the Jiang family's business has not been good in the past two years, and they want to find a helpful relative, so they went to the Han family to propose marriage."
"The fire first burned the young lady's yard. Could it be that the Jiang family wanted to seize the dowry? In the end, even the heavens couldn't stand it and burned down other people's yards as well?"
The officials also heard about this discussion and reopened the investigation. As expected, the Jiang family's proposal to the Han family had ulterior motives, and they wanted to take Jiang Hua away and sentence him.
That won’t do. If I go to jail, I won’t have to worry about so many things, right?
So Sheng Jiang finally woke up and forgave Jiang Hua, but on the condition that she divorced Jiang Hua and let Jiang Hua marry his white moonlight.
Jiang Hua quickly agreed.
The Jiang family is now so poor that even mice don't come to visit. Bai Yueguang wants to leave Jiang Hua and find another place to live. But before she even reaches the gate, she is blocked by Jiang Hua.
"Yueyue, where are you going?"
"Where else can I go? I have to find some connections and borrow some money."
"Whose house are you going to? I'll go with you."
"This...isn't necessary?"
"Yueyue, do you want to leave me?"
"How could that be? Brother Hua, I love you the most. Don't worry, I won't be as snobbish as Han Yuanyuan and leave you. I believe that Brother Hua will definitely make the Jiang family a comeback."
"Really?"
"Of course, it's more real than pearls."
Not long after Bai Yueguang ran out, she was caught and sent back. "Master Jiang, keep an eye on your wife. If you want money, you can go out and sell it. It's easy to make money there. But you can't team up with others to set a trap for me, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"No way? Young Master Jiang doesn't know? Your wife met Zhang Neng, a wealthy man in our county, and followed him into the mansion. But she was discovered by Madam Zhang, who dragged her out with a beating.
Afterwards, the wealthy Zhang found her again, apologized, and said that she might as well just follow him to do the honey trap, and he would give her a sum of money every time she succeeded.
Before this, many victims had reported the case.
"Young Master Jiang, if you can't control your wife, she'll end up in jail. As for me, I'll send her back to you because of our past friendship. We're even now."
"A honey trap?" Jiang Hua was furious and slapped her. "How dare you seduce another man! Bitch! Die!"
"Don't I just want to make more money and live a good life in the future?" Bai Yueguang said crying.
At this time, Jiang Huai came over and looked very normal. "Brother, I want to study hard, pass the imperial examinations in the future, and trample all those who bully our family under my feet!"
"Good brother, you finally woke up!" Jiang Hua cried with joy, "There is hope for our family now! Don't worry, even if I have to sell everything I have, I will make sure you can study."
From then on, Jiang Hua lived a life without day or night. There were no servants in the house any longer.
He went to the dock early in the morning to work as a porter, and managed to turn his small body into a muscular man. Bai Yueguang also did embroidery and mending clothes for others to supplement the family income.
The money he earned every day, in addition to the daily expenses of the family, he also had to save from his teeth to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone for Jiang Huai. Life was very tight.
Five years later, Jiang Huai took the exam for the first time, and as expected, he failed.
Jiang Hua comforted him, "It's okay, it's your first time taking the exam, and you're only 15 years old. You'll have another chance in the future."
Three years later, Jiang Hua failed the exam again.
But Bai Yueguang was no longer willing to subsidize him, because her own son was about to go to school.
The old lady was still alive, so Jiang Hua didn't dare to split the family. He just said, "You are old enough. Mother is not mine alone. I have taken care of her for 8 years, and it is your turn to take care of her too."
"Brother, can you wait for me for another three years? I will definitely pass the exam. I passed it in my previous life!"
"Previous life?"
"Yes! In the past life!" Jiang Huai didn't care anymore, "In the past life, our family didn't encounter thieves. You left the house smoothly and lived freely outside with your sister-in-law. It was Han Yuanyuan who was in charge of the Jiang Mansion. She used her dowry to subsidize the Jiang Mansion. She also found a famous teacher for me, which is why I passed the imperial examination."
"Han Yuanyuan?" The pressure of life and the busyness of daily life made Jiang Hua not think of her for a long time.
"So the difference in this life is all due to her unexpected change?"
"Yes, and I suspect that the fires in my mother's yard and my yard were both set by her."
"What's the point of saying this? It's been so long, and you don't have any evidence."
"That's right," Bai Yueguang came over. She was afraid that Jiang Hua would soften his heart and agree to support Jiang Huai's studies. "Uncle, if you are a good student, you can pass the exam without hiring a famous teacher. If not, hiring a teacher is useless. It's better to give this opportunity to Mingjie, who has more hope, right?"
Jiang Hua naturally chose his biological son over his brother. "Second brother, since you have the memory of your past life, why don't you go find Han Yuanyuan and see if she is still willing to support you. If she is willing, it will be your good fortune. Just study hard. I am really powerless to help you."
Jiang Huai went there, but no matter what he did, he couldn't find her. He wanted to continue looking, but found that his mother was already in his yard. Now, it was impossible to go out and look for her.
Jiang Hua was also looking for Han Yuanyuan's whereabouts. His son Jiang Mingjie already had memories of his past life.
As soon as he was born, he found that his house was leaking everywhere, and he was immediately shocked.
Then, after hearing what the people around him were saying, he probably guessed something and began to resent his father. He was so slow and incompetent. Why did he bother with that damn old woman in the first place? Wouldn't it have been better if he could just go out with his mother? Even if he didn't have the Jiang family's help, he wouldn't be dragged down by the old woman and his uncle!
I was about to reach the age to go to school. My teacher said that I would definitely be the top scorer in the imperial examination in the future, but I couldn't go to school because I couldn't afford the tuition.
I finally delayed my studies for a year and went to school, but I couldn't afford to buy all kinds of books. I was ridiculed by others, which made it impossible for me to concentrate on my studies.
When he was older, he started to look for Han Yuanyuan on his own. However, he was stolen by a trafficker, who broke his limbs and cut off his tongue, forcing him to beg on the streets for the rest of his life.
In this life, Jiang Mingjie is so unwilling!
Not long after Jiang Mingjie disappeared, Jiang Huai again proposed that he wanted to study. Jiang Hua, so angry that he fainted, beat him to death.
Jiang Hua was sentenced to execution in the autumn.
Bai Yueguang didn't want to serve the old lady, so she fed her arsenic.
The old lady felt so aggrieved.
Wouldn't that be frustrating? Someone who's usually noisy all day long suddenly can't talk anymore. Wouldn't that make them sick? But, now they're finally free, right?
Bai Yueguang was also sentenced to death, and the couple reunited in prison. Perhaps they will be reunited in hell in the future, which can be considered a different kind of reunion.
