Chapter 227 has expired

Ruan Xia quickly arrived at the door of Cai Zi's room and saw that the fire was burning with uncontrollable momentum.

No one dared to step forward, and the water provided to put out the fire was a drop in the bucket.

The scholar's house was surrounded by raging fire, and the class leader stood in front of the fire with a stern look on his face.

But he was as steady as a mountain, unmoving.

There was another person who seemed to have nothing to do with her, and that was Qinglian who was leaning against the courtyard wall.

The fire became more and more fierce. Later, the official called many officials to put out the fire together.

The class leader ordered people to go in and search. A blackened and charred body was quickly brought out.

His face was unrecognizable, but his figure showed that he was still a talented man.

Ruan Xia was shocked. The person who was lying there just now would never wake up again in this life.

When the scholar was carried out, he was carried out together with the recliner below.

Ruan Xia was keenly aware that the scholar's arm was curled up at the elbow joint in an extremely unnatural posture.

It looked like he had been tied up and kept in that weird posture after death.

The rope had long since been burned.

Several people came over after hearing the news, and they all looked frightened when they saw the body.

Some were so frightened that they started talking nonsense on the spot.

"Iris, it's Iris, she's back for revenge, hahahaha, she's back..."

The person who spoke was a prop master in the theater troupe. After saying this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. Then he strangled his neck hard and fell to the ground. Then there was a burst of convulsions.

"What's wrong with him? What's wrong with him?"

The man twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

An official came over and took a breath.

"Already dead."

Everyone who thought it was nonsense just now was on the verge of collapse.

Guan Ye quickly led people to carry the body out, and only the troupe was left in the yard.

"It's Iris! Another one died! It must be Iris!"

There was chaos at the scene. Everyone went crazy first, then fell to the ground, twitched, and even foamed at the mouth.

"Iris, cluck... Iris, you died well... cluck..."

"I saw the iris..."

"Don't look for me, it's not me!"

One after another, the yard was in chaos, going crazy and falling down.

Most of them were in the same state, convulsing and then dying.

In the end, only the class leader and Qinglian were left standing.

Ruan Xia stared at the two people with interest.

Qinglian walked towards the class leader.

"I knew you wouldn't be merciful, otherwise you would treat everyone to a big dinner if you were such a stingy person? The sun is really out in the west, isn't it, class leader?"

The class leader looked at her coldly.

"Why are you okay?"

Qinglian smiled, "Because I'm not stupid, I didn't even swallow a bite, I vomited it all."

The class leader stared at her fiercely, his eyes seemed to swallow her whole.

"You were the one I wanted to kill, and you're okay!"

Qinglian seemed to have expected it. She stretched her hands into her clothes and got closer to the class leader.

"You're not bad, you actually saw my intention, but you were too hasty."

The class leader stared at her.

"I should have guessed that you are Iris' sister."

"At first I thought you were someone from another troupe who came to cause trouble, but later I found out that your target was me."

The class leader said coldly, Qinglian was not surprised at all.

"It's hard to believe that you can be the leader of such a big theater troupe. You have pretty good eyesight."

"Iris and I have been separated since childhood, and we don't look alike. You can tell that we are quite capable."

As she spoke, Qinglian shook her body and changed its direction.

"Originally, I came here to reunite with my sister, but as soon as I got here, I heard the news that my sister had committed suicide. I almost collapsed."

Qinglian said and changed her face.

"I made an appointment with Iris a long time ago. I'm going to find her, so she won't commit suicide! It's absolutely impossible!"

As Qinglian spoke, she shed two lines of tears.

"You didn't even help her collect the body. You threw a mat into the mass grave. I buried my sister with my own hands."

"You all killed her!"

As Qinglian spoke, she suddenly stabbed the class leader with the dagger in her hand.

Ruan Xia subconsciously shouted, “Be careful!"

There was just a "poof" sound, and then blood splattered everywhere. The scene suddenly changed and turned into the class leader and a rich young master.

"Master Lu, it's really not that I won't help you. Iris can make her own decisions."

Master Lu turned his eyes and waved, and someone immediately came up with a box.

When he picked it up with his hand, the golden gold leaked out.

"I am sincere and I must marry Iris as my concubine. If this thing comes to pass, I will receive two hundred taels of gold, and I will accept it as a smile on my head."

"Two hundred taels?"

The class leader's eyes widened when he saw it. This young master of the Lu family is so generous.

"I'll tell you the truth, my family doesn't allow an actress to be the wife, so I can only make her my concubine, but I will never treat her badly."

The class teacher rubbed his hands in excitement.

"I see the sincerity of the young master, I will tell you the truth."

After Master Lu left, the class leader immediately walked to Iris' room.

It's almost a sincere advice.

"You don't know who Master Lu is. Is there any family in the whole town richer than his? It's a rule that you can't be a wife, so what's wrong with being a concubine?"

The class leader said nothing about the gold.

Iris cried into tears.

"I don't want to be a concubine. I would rather marry an ordinary family than be a concubine in a high-class compound!"

Iris sternly refused, and the class leader became angry.

"I advise you to take care of yourself. This matter is not a matter of one person, but of the entire troupe."

"You don't know whose face we can set up a stage to sing here, right?"

Iris immediately glared at him viciously.

"You just want to use me to gain access to the Lu family. Let me tell you, I won't marry! I'm not your tool. I only marry the person I love!"

The class leader was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out.

"You are so insufferable!"

The class leader said something before leaving.

"You have to obey even if you don't want to! Wait until the Lu family picks you up!"

After saying that, the class leader turned around and walked out, locked the door with a big lock, and sent someone to keep a close watch.

Iris opened the letter written by her sister to herself, originally planning to start a new life with her sister.

At this point, there was a knock on the door, and the talented man came out with a meal.

"Iris, you eat something first, I..."

The talented man had trouble saying that he looked at Iris with some affection in his eyes.

"Can you help me escape, or let's go together..."

Iris actually stepped forward and held the gifted man's hand, and the two of them looked at each other with endless expressions of affection.

"Iris, I only love you in this life, and I will never let you be occupied by Mr. Lu! In this way, you pack your things and we will run away together tomorrow at Haishi!"

Iris nodded as if seeing a savior.

Only then did Ruan Xia realize that they were actually a pair!
