In the late night of South City, a heavy rain had just stopped. Suddenly, flas shot up to the sky, and soone glanced towards the direction of the fire and exclaid with surprise, "That seems to be the direction of the Fengya Pavilion?"
"Indeed, it looks like it. What could have suddenly caused a fire like that?"
People were perplexed in their hearts. Those living near Fengya Pavilion, so feared the fire’s spread might affect them, thus helped with the firefighting, while others expressed sighs of relief and schadenfreude.
But no matter what, this was destined to be a noisy night.
After the fire was put out, the once-glorious Fengya Pavilion had turned into ruins amidst charred ground.
Many bodies were found inside Fengya Pavilion, these bodies had been burnt into skeletal fras, horrific burnt flesh clung to the bones, rendering the victims unidentifiable. However, among the charred bodies, one was a male victim. His clothes had been burned off, and the jewelry and gold on him had lted and deford in the fire, but people speculated from the lted gold and jewelry that the deceased was likely Charles.
The great fire at Fengya Pavilion caused a huge uproar throughout South City. That night, those who attended the banquet at Fengya Pavilion all maintained a tight-lipped deanor.
So claid they left Fengya Pavilion early and knew nothing of what happened afterward, while others used illness as an excuse.
William’s act of burying Charles and others in a trap that day was not without witnesses, but his thods, along with those strange little black insects, were too bizarre, making people reluctant to divulge details of that night’s event lightly, lest they inadvertently catch the wind’s tail. Paying the price of life for a mont of loose words would be too unjustified.
Since this incident, William seed to have let go quite a bit.
Once, Dong Huiying asked, "What do you plan to do in the future?"
William thought for a mont and then honestly replied, "My country is on the other side of the sea, I want to return, but back then, because of a giant wave, we lost our way in the sea. I suppose first and foremost, what I need is probably a navigational chart?"
But this kind of thing cannot be rushed. There are many foreigners in Jiangnan, but these foreigners co from many different countries, not all from the sa place. William could only slowly try his luck; perhaps one day, when luck smiled upon him, he might suddenly et soone from his own country, or perhaps from a neighboring country, and then find the way ho.
Of course, there is another possibility, maybe he might be unlucky enough to wait a lifeti and never see that day co.
But no matter what, ti will not stop, life continues. He started doing things within his ability, like helping Chris pursue Lan Gu? Or acting as an assistant to manage the industries of the Blue mansion?
In his life, the part about love was all given to a woman who had already passed away.
Sotis he also thought, if he could never return in this lifeti, although it would be a little disappointing to his father, if he could die in the sa place with the one he loved most, buried in the sa piece of soil, perhaps that would also be a kind of happiness?
The situation in South City, from being initially perplexing and confusing, gradually turned into an overwhelming disparity. Finally, Charles died, and on the surface, Blue mansion and Chris beca the biggest winners.
In this process, Chris and Lan Gu’s relationship also rapidly intensified, and it seed to be only a matter of ti for this sibling romance to co to fruition.
Dong Huiying thought to herself, could it be that I played the role of a matchmaker this ti? This feeling isn’t half bad.
But the peaceful days didn’t last long. On this day, the city gate was bustling and lively, with people kneeling along the street.
It turned out that the Seventh Princess had returned.
