Chapter 341 Arson on the Eve of Departure
"Yan'er, you misunderstood. I was just worried about you and thought that maybe your aunt could persuade you. But it's okay if you don't want to see them. They haven't agreed to come, so..."
"They didn't agree?" Zheng Yan'er's eyes lit up with fire again, and then she suddenly laughed, her smile was creepy, "It seems that in their eyes, I am just a shameful clown. It's not even worth it for them to come and watch the fun in person!"
Dong Kaijian looked at the smile on Zheng Yaner's face and felt a little chill in his heart, but he was more worried.
"Yan'er, don't scare me. Let's leave the imperial city and go far away. We won't see them again in the future, okay?"
Zheng Yan'er slowly turned her head, met Dong Kaijian's gaze, and suddenly curled her lips again.
"Okay, husband, I'll listen to you and let's leave the imperial city."
Dong Kaijian was stunned for a moment, then he was delighted, "Yan'er, are you really willing to leave the Imperial City?"
"I am willing. My husband, you are right. Since we came to this imperial city, we have been in trouble all the time. It is better for us to leave. Besides, I have become a laughing stock of everyone in this imperial city. I don't want to stay here anymore." The smile on Zheng Yan'er's face faded, and her whole body seemed to calm down.
"That's great, Yan'er, I'm glad you figured it out." Dong Kaijian was extremely happy. "Then I'll go meet the buyer tomorrow to speed up the process. Once the follow-up money arrives, we'll leave right away."
"Okay." Zheng Yan'er nodded.
"That's great, at least you've figured it out!" Dong Kaijian let out a long sigh and reached out to hold Zheng Yan'er in his arms.
Zheng Yan'er leaned on Dong Kaijian's shoulder with a gentle expression on her face, but her eyes were burning with even crazier flames.
Because Zheng Yan'er had agreed, Dong Kaijian began to prepare for moving out more quickly in the next few days.
Seeing that he was anxious, the buyer from Heyun Tower took the opportunity to lower the price by another two thousand taels, and Dong Kaijian agreed immediately.
After signing the contract, Dong Kaijian took the money back home and told his servants to pack up all their luggage as soon as possible.
Since Zheng Yan'er expressed her intention to leave the imperial city, she finally stopped lying in bed like before and resumed her normal diet. She was even able to go out for a walk with a veil on to relax.
Dong Kaijian was a little uneasy at first, worried that Zheng Yan'er would suddenly change her mind again. But until the day before departure, Zheng Yan'er did not show any regret, and Dong Kaijian was completely relieved.
"Madam, everything has been packed, and we will set off tomorrow. Don't worry, after we return home, whether you want to open a restaurant, do some other business, or just stay at home and do nothing, your husband will support you."
Zheng Yan'er was sitting at the table. When she heard this, she glanced at Dong Kaijian. Looking at the doting smile on his face, a moment of hesitation flashed across her eyes.
"Husband, why are you so nice to me?"
"Look at what you said. You are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?"
"I mean, I caused so much trouble and made you pay so much money, but you are still so nice to me. Why?"
Seeing that Zheng Yan'er asked seriously, Dong Kaijian smiled even more.
"You and I are originally an old man and a young wife. I am much older than you, and marrying you as my second wife is already an injustice to you. From the day I married you into the mansion, I told myself in my heart that I would treat you well in the future. Although you have done some foolish things since coming to the imperial city, you are still young, and your husband is willing to tolerate you."
After he finished speaking, Dong Kaijian laughed again and added.
"But fortunately, it's all over. Although we lost a lot of money on this trip to the Imperial City, we can still earn more money later. As long as we can leave safely, there will be many good days in the future."
Zheng Yan'er looked at Dong Kaijian stiffly, "What if..."
Seeing that Zheng Yan'er seemed to be hesitant to speak and stopped halfway through her words, Dong Kaijian asked.
"what if?"
Zheng Yan'er pursed her lips and looked away.
"Nothing, I just want to ask, if I do something wrong again in the future, will you still tolerate me and help me?"
"Of course, you are my wife, and I will protect you all my life. It's just a pity that I am much older than you, and it is destined that I can't grow old with you. But don't worry, if one day I want to leave before you, I will definitely arrange everything for you in advance."
Dong Kaijian's tone was full of love. At this moment, he was happily planning the days after leaving the imperial city and did not notice Zheng Yan'er's unusual expression at all.
By nightfall, all the boxes had been loaded onto the truck, ready to leave the imperial city early the next morning.
After dinner, Dong Kaijian checked again to make sure there was no problem, then returned to his room and fell asleep peacefully.
Zheng Yan'er was lying beside him. Although her eyes were closed, she was not sleepy at all.
Hearing the increasingly steady breathing beside her and confirming that Dong Kaijian was asleep, Zheng Yan'er quietly got up and left the room.
She put on a black cap and quietly left Dong's house through the back door late at night.
Although the reputation of the wine shop was known to almost everyone, the shop had already been opened and Qin was not in a hurry to close it down. Instead, he continued to sell wine, and the variety of wines increased a lot, making it no different from an ordinary wine shop.
Zheng Yan'er followed the same route as before, kneeling once with one step, and walked to the outside of the wine shop.
She didn't come closer, but stood by a wall, staring intently.
The wine shop had closed and it was almost the second half of the night. Zheng Yan'er estimated the time in her mind and waited with her heart beating fast.
Finally, several black figures quietly slipped to the back of the tavern, and with the faint sound of splashing, a fire started soon after.
The golden flames started from the back wall of the wine shop and quickly jumped onto the roof because of the oil spilled on it.
Zheng Yan'er stared at the fire intently, and felt that half of the anger in her heart had been released.
She did plan to leave the imperial city, but before leaving, she had to repay Qin and Jiang Suining once, otherwise she would never be able to swallow this humiliation in her life.
Just as Zheng Yan'er was expecting the fire to grow bigger and bigger, the night watchman came over in the distance, saw the burning wine shop, and hurriedly shouted that there was a fire.
Hearing the anxious call, Zheng Yan'er pulled up her veil and turned to leave.
The wine shop has been burned down, and the next one to be burned down is Zhanxing Tower.
Since it is said that Zhanxing Tower makes a fortune every day, why not burn it down completely? A building that tall must be spectacular when it burns down.
Zheng Yan'er was looking forward to that scene in her heart, and she quickened her pace and walked towards Zhanxing Tower excitedly.
In the past few days, she has privately arranged two groups of people to set fire to the Zhanxing Tower and the tavern at the same time.
She thought that she would be able to see the fire in Zhanxing Tower if she got a little closer. However, even when she walked to the street where Zhanxing Tower was located and could clearly see the first floor of Zhanxing Tower, she did not see any trace of burning flames.
The smile on Zheng Yaner's face collapsed.
What happened? Was there something wrong with the people she had found?
She quickly looked around, but didn't see anyone, and couldn't help but curse at the waste in her heart.
The next moment, lights suddenly lit up in Zhanxing Tower.
Zheng Yan'er was stunned and felt uneasy. She turned around and wanted to leave, but before she took a few steps, she was blocked.
