Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2593: Chapter 2594: Return to Tianyun (160)

Su Yixing, while checking Taoming Ye’s pulse, urgently reassured her, ”Don’t worry, don’t worry, Eldest Brother has arrived. He’ll do his best to save him. You must let go of him now; his breath is weak and cannot be held like this.”

Su Xing finally released Taoming Ye, no longer holding onto the unconscious Taoming Ye.

Su Yixing then examined the wound on Taoming Ye’s back, immediately frowned and said, ”He is too severely injured, we must quickly find a place to treat his wounds.”

Upon hearing this, Su Xing promptly led Su Yixing to the courtyard where Taoming Ye previously resided. As the current courtyard was no longer livable, and the fire had yet to be extinguished, they temporarily had to make do with that courtyard.

Once Taoming Ye was laid on the bed, Su Yixing began treating the wounds on Taoming Ye’s back, with basin after basin of hot water being brought in, and basin after basin of bloody water being taken out. Su Xing stood aside watching, wanting to cry but the tears wouldn’t come, she clenched her fists tightly, letting her nails dig into her flesh, unaware of it.

Compared to the pain in her hands, the pain in her heart was greater.

Tao Chengyin, Taoming Hai, and Mrs. Cao waited in the main hall.

At this moment, a servant of the Tao Mansion urgently entered to report, ”Master, King Jing has brought people to seal the Tao Mansion; no one is allowed to enter or leave. It seems he has also sealed off the Imperial City, swearing to find out who wants to kill the Princess and the Prince Consort.”

Tao Chengyin said in confusion, ”Wasn’t it Aunt Zhou? Aunt Zhou is already dead, what is there to investigate?”

The servant replied, ”It seems matters are not so simple. Anyway, King Jing now has taken people to Aunt Zhou’s house to capture her family for questioning. I heard the King is furious and insists on thoroughly investigating this matter.”

Hearing this, Taoming Hai felt panicked, his legs weakening.

He should have sent people to kill Aunt Zhou’s family and discard them in the wilderness when the fire started burning. Now the city is sealed, as is his mansion, and he can’t get out. Aunt Zhou’s family is still being held in his house outside, and if Su Yi Jing can’t catch anyone at Aunt Zhou’s house, he will certainly search through the entire Imperial City. Once Aunt Zhou’s family is found and questioned, could he and his wife still survive? 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Tao Chengyin immediately shouted angrily, ”If it’s really not that simple, it should be thoroughly investigated!”

His gaze glanced at Taoming Hai’s pale face, and Tao Chengyin asked concernedly, ”Are you alright, Haier? Your face looks so pale; is your body unwell?”

Taoming Hai forcefully concealed his panic, saying, ”It’s nothing, just choked on some thick smoke while helping to extinguish the fire earlier, it’s not a big deal.”

Seeing Taoming Hai saying it’s fine, Tao Chengyin no longer paid attention to Taoming Hai.

Taoming Hai became more and more frightened as he thought about it, and finally, he casually made an excuse and returned to his own courtyard.

As soon as he entered his room, Wan Banyan, lying on the bed, happily asked him, ”Husband, are they all dead? I saw the fire was so big, they should have died, right?”

Taoming Hai said nothing, strode to the bedside, and gave Wan Banyan a fierce slap, angrily scolding, ”It’s all your fault! If you hadn’t urged me to kill them, would I have ended up like this now!”

Wan Banyan was stunned by the slap, it was the first time Taoming Hai had hit her.

When she came to her senses, she initially intended to pounce on Taoming Hai to scratch his face to avenge the slap he gave her, but seeing Taoming Hai so furious as if the sky had collapsed, she refrained.

Instead, she asked in confusion, ”Husband, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t they die?”

Taoming Hai immediately replied, ”Not only are they not dead, but the King is also infuriated, sealing the Imperial City not to mention the Tao Mansion, aiming to thoroughly investigate the matter and find the real culprit!”
