“But why? You’re already like this, but he still can’t let go of you. Tell me, what right do you have?”
Madam Ji counted the grievances in her heart hysterically. Some were towards Ji Luo, and some were towards Si Yun. In her words, it was as if everyone in the world had let her down.
However, Ji Luo was unwilling to listen to her. She only wanted to know what had happened and why that child had been captured and brought to the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. How was the situation now?
However, she also knew that if she asked, this woman would definitely not say anything. Therefore, she closed her eyes again.
Madam Ji saw the change in her expression and sneered. “Do you really want to know about your daughter’s situation now?”
Ji Luo ignored her.
Madam Ji let go and stood up. She looked at her fingers that were covered in cinnabar and said proudly, “I think she should have turned into a skeleton by now. But don’t worry, you’ve treated me well in the past. I’ll persuade the high priest to send you down to see her as soon as possible.”
“I wonder if she’ll acknowledge you on the way to h.e.l.l when she sees you like this.”
“Oh, I almost forgot. She doesn’t seem to know you exist at all.”
She shook her head and said sympathetically, “Valley Master, you’re so pitiful.’
Thinking of that soft child, Ji Luo’s body trembled and her fingers sank into the mud.
That wouldn’t happen. She had once divined for that child. She was an unpredictable variable in this world. She would definitely turn the situation around.
This thought had just flashed through her mind.
There was the sound of hurried footsteps, and a white-robed maidservant hurriedly walked in. “Madam, bad news. The priest hall is on fire. The high priest and Young Master are seriously injured and unconscious.”
“How could that be?” Madam Ji was shocked and asked sternly, “What exactly happened?”
The maidservant said, “I heard that it’s a divine punishment.”
After understanding the situation in the priest’s hall, she rushed over to report. The houses and medicinal fields in the village were on fire one after another, and she did not know about the suspicions of her clansmen towards Shen Yijia.
“Divine punishment?” Madam Ji staggered back in fear. She glanced at Ji Luo to prevent herself from losing her composure, but she didn’t calm down.
“Throw her back inside.” She coldly instructed the old woman who was in charge of Ji Luo and hurried out with her men.
When Shen Yijia and the others came over, they saw Madam Ji coming out of the forbidden area from afar.
“Why is that old woman here?” Shen Yijia gritted her teeth.
Song Jingchen said, “Didn’t you say that she hated Ji Luo? She’s probably here to cause trouble for her.”
Shen Yijia suddenly understood. She thought for a moment and said, “Go in and save them. We’ll meet at the exit later.”
You Yi had already brought Lin Shao and his sister over to wait.
Song Jingchen pursed his lips and looked at MO Yuan. “Go and save her. After you save her, go and look for You Yi. If we don’t arrive in time, the two of you can leave first.”
MO Yuan was speechless.
“Hubby.” Shen Yijia disagreed.
Song Jingchen explained, “The people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets think highly of themselves. There isn’t even a guard in the forbidden area. I think it’s the same inside.”
Shen Yijia said, “Then why don’t we go in together and save them?”
She could take revenge on the old woman in the future.
Unexpectedly, Song Jingchen shook his head. “After such a long time, the people from the Valley of Heavenly Secrets must have reacted, and the medicinal field isn’t far from here. They’ll definitely find us by following the direction of the fire. We can divert their attention.”
Ads by PubFuture Shen Yijia was successfully convinced.
After crossing a small mountain was the medicinal field.
“Didn’t they say that there was only a fire in the Priest Hall?” Looking at the medicinal field not far away, Madam Ji frowned.
The white-robed maidservant was also shocked and quickly explained, “This place was fine when I came over just now.”
Madam Ji stopped in her tracks. Something flashed across her mind and she reprimanded, “No, this isn’t a divine punishment.”
Just now, she was too frightened by the word “divine punishment” to think about anything else.
“Madam?”
“Let me ask you, did you see the foreign woman Young Master brought back from the Priest Hall?”
The maidservant thought for a moment. The situation at that time was indeed chaotic, but the clothes that the foreign woman was wearing were different from the others. If she saw her, she would definitely be able to recognize her at a glance. Therefore, she was very sure that the woman was not in the priest hall at that time. She shook her head and said, “No.”
“That’s right.” Madam Ji’S eyes turned cold. What if that person knew about her background and deliberately took the bait?
“Call our clansmen over immediately.” She turned around and looked in the direction of the forbidden area. After instructing them, she said to the others, “Go back and guard the forbidden area..”
