Seeing this scene, Lord Ji stared blankly at Wen Zhigu who was kneeling in front of him. He couldn't believe it and was unwilling to accept such a fact.
He shook his head slowly, then raised his head in disbelief and looked into the courtyard filled with fire.
The old man suddenly coughed violently and subconsciously took two steps back, almost fainting. When Mrs. Hou rushed over, she encountered this scene. She hurried over to help Mr. Ji, "Master, what's wrong with you, master?"
Lord Ji grabbed her hand and waved it slowly. He laughed sadly, looked down at Wen Zhigu kindly and asked, "Zhigu, Xu Bai is not in there, right?"
Wen Zhigu lowered his eyes and said numbly: "He is inside. He is suppressed by the pillar and cannot get out."
Lord Ji's vision went dark and he almost fainted.
"Master!" Mrs. Hou supported the crumbling Lord Ji and shouted angrily at Wen Zhigu, "Wen Zhigu, how on earth are you willing to let everyone in the Ji family go? What does Ji Xubai really owe you? Wasn't it enough that two months was not enough after he was seriously injured last time? Now that you are letting him die in a sea of fire, have you ever thought about how Lord Ji feels? Lord Ji treats you and your son very well!"
Wen Zhigu didn't move, his ears were buzzing, and he seemed to hear nothing, only the sound of burning fire.
Such a huge fire spread in sight...
Ji Xubai was pressed under the fire, unable to move...
She heard someone shouting: "Call the doctor, hurry up!"
"Daddy!"
"Xu Bai, Xu Bai!"
Many people were crying and shouting...
Wen Zhigu knelt on the ground, slowly turned his head, and vaguely saw a... bloody body being carried out...
A small section of burned white clothes fell from the stretcher...
Wen Zhigu suddenly turned away and closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look.
She couldn't imagine whether that person was alive or dead, or how much torture he suffered in that short moment.
Wen knew that he hated this man and once wanted to kill him.
Later, because of Xiao Jian, she thought it would be okay as long as he no longer provoked her.
She hates him so much, but not because one day, when she is most desperate, he will rush in, push her and Xiao Jian away, and leave himself in the sea of fire...
It’s such a mess…
My heart has long been in chaos...
She accepted everyone's accusations and scoldings because she was the one who left Taifu Ji and carried Little Jane away, but what could she do...
She couldn't let Xiao Jane die with her.
Ji Xubai was taken away by people from the Ji family, and his life and death are unknown.
Until daybreak, there was no news from him.
The fire had long since been put out, but the yard was completely burned.
All that's left is ruins...
It was also at this time that Wen Zhigu discovered that there was a guard standing behind him, waiting for her.
When Wen Zhigu stood up from the ground, she found that her legs were numb and she was about to fall to her knees again. The guards quickly came up to help her.
"Who are you..." Wen Zhigu's voice was hoarse, and his face was covered with dust from the fire that night, and he was in a miserable state.
"It's Mrs. Ji... who sent me to secretly protect Miss Wen..."
After hearing this, Wen Zhigu's eyes froze slightly, then he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled softly.
Then his vision went dark and he fainted.
When she woke up again, she was already in the military camp. It took a lot of effort for Wen Zhigu to get up from the bed.
