Chapter 1 Part 3

Her crimson wedding dress was extremely gorgeous surrounded by the fire. The cinnabar mole under the corner of her eye hung like a teardrop. It seemed like she was sadly crying, but it contrasted her other features and made her bright and beautiful face more glamorous.

Li Qingzhi stared at her from a distance. His heart started beating violently, as if he was seeing her for the first time. That brash, yet delicate girl made him absent-minded and she didn’t even know it.

“She’s crazy! She wants to die, but still wants to drag us down! Little whore!” Madam Li had people supporting her as she staggered out to flee. She turned around and saw her son frozen in place. She reached out and pulled her son while she shrieked.

She had said a long time ago that marrying a girl from the Xiao Family would be a crime.

She was spoiled by her elders from a young age and her ancestors were all in the military; and she didn’t have a mother to guide her and she grew up to have a fox charming face. What kind of wise and virtuous upbringing can she have!

In a blink of an eye, the people in the wedding room ran away. Xiao Youning used all her strength to throw the candlestick onto the qiangong bed. She felt a burst of pleasure at the bottom of her heart for no reason when she saw the pair of mandarin ducks on the quilt being swallowed up. The corners of her mouth had just risen when the smoke made her choke and she couldn’t help cough.

The fire had already reached her feet. She turned and looked at the window behind the long table. Instead of staying any longer, she climbed on the long table, pushed the window open, and jumped out!

Die?!

She wouldn’t kill herself until she’s out of her mind!

How could she die like this and let go of these disgusting people with wolf hearts and dog lungs1!

The window was half the height of a person. Madam Li probably didn’t take into account that she would set a fire and jump out of the window. There was no one guarding the outside, so it made it more convenient for her to escape.

After Xiao Youning jumped out of the window, she rolled around on the grass.

The phoenix crown fell, and her body was hurt by the stones on the ground. However, she didn’t have time to pay attention to it. She lifted her dress and ran.

“Young Miss!” A pleasantly surprised voice was heard.

Xiao Youning looked up and saw that it was her dowry maid, Yuan Guo.

Yuan Guo saw her and happily ran over. Xiao Youning held her maid’s hands covered with blood.

“How did this happen?!” Xiao Youning quickly pulled the hands to take a closer look. Yuan Guo paid no attention to it. She waved her hands and said, “Don’t worry about this, Young Miss. We need to run. The Li Family locked me up and I knew something was going to happen!”

With that, Yuan Guo pulled her out of the way and sprinted.

Outside there were voices shouting to put out the fire. The inner room had already turned into a sea of fire and even the window she had climbed through began to burn.

Shadows of people began to arrive. Xiao Youning heard the chaotic voices mixed with the sound of running footsteps and the wind.

Her heart was pounding because of it.

Yuan Guo already found a wall to climb over. She climbed to the top of the wall, and then reached out to pull her up.

This time when she went down, she was firmly protected by Yuan Guo and did not receive even the slightest.

But from now on, she’s afraid that no one could protect her like this anymore… When Xiao Youning thought of her father and brother’s accident, her eyes warmed up and she almost burst into tears again.

The Li Family’s back alley was connected to the bustling long street outside. They rushed into the crowd, but Xiao Youning suddenly stopped in place.

“Young Miss?” Yuan Guo couldn’t pull her to move anymore and she became flabbergasted when she turned around. She saw her Young Miss unexpectedly carrying her dress towards the Li Family gate.

“Young Miss!”

Yuanguo was scared to death by her. They were finally able to escape, so what was her Young Miss going to do when she was at the Li Family’s place again?!

Xiao Youning has never run so fast before. The people on the road were looking at her strangely, and some people were even pointing their fingers at her.

But her footsteps did not stop until she was at the Li Family’s front gate.

When she finally stopped, she looked up at the Li Family’s gate. She was not afraid of the strange look from the people passing by. She raised her voice and shouted, “Today, you Li Family forgot about favors and violated justice when you saw my Xiao Family fall into misfortune. On this day of marriage, you were treacherous and divorced me, Xiao Youning! I, Xiao Youning, am a criminal official’s daughter, and I am not ashamed of your despicable Li Family! Today, with the Heavenly Emperor as my witness, my Xiao Family and your Li family will break all ties!”

The girl’s voice was loud and clear. The guards inside of the gate were alarmed and rushed out to see what was going on.

The common people on the road were already in uproar…

All over the capital, who didn’t know that the Li Family relied on the Xiao family to change their fortunes and decided to be devoted to each other through marriage to the end of their lives?
