Chapter 4 — The day his concubine went into labor, I called the Chief to come pick him up

There was chaos on the road. Everywhere people came to watch the excitement and Kinh Trieu palace staff were running to rescue the fire. My carriage is completely unable to continue. I immediately decisively jumped out of the car, picked up my skirt, went against the flow of people, and risked my life to run towards the Luc residence. When I ran to the front gate of the Luc family's palace, I was completely stunned by the scene that appeared before my eyes. The entire Luc family... Has turned into a sea of fire. The fire is much bigger than we imagine. Not only Jiang Ning Shuang's courtyard, but several surrounding courtyards were also burned by fire. Billowing black smoke. The fire was red to the sky. The family and maids carried buckets of water, crying and screaming, running back and forth. But that little bit of water... For a sea of fire like this, it's just like a drop of salt. Luc Minh Hien stood in the middle of the yard, his hair disheveled, his face covered in ash, his bloodshot eyes staring at the most intense burning delivery room, screaming hoarsely.

"Suong Nhi! Suong Nhi!"

"Quickly save people! Rush in to save people for me!"

The family members were about to rush inside. But as soon as he reached the door, he was forced back by the intense heat. The beams of the house kept falling down and clattering. Absolutely impossible to break in. My older brother, Tham Tri Hanh, has also arrived. He brought along people to evacuate the subordinates and maintain order. As soon as he saw me, his face immediately changed and he quickly ran over.

"Tri Y! What are you doing here? It's dangerous! Hurry up and follow me!"

I pushed his hand away and stared at the sea of fire in front of me.

"Brother, where is Jiang Ning Suong? Where is the child?"

Tham Tri Hanh's face was extremely heavy and he shook his head slightly.

"The fire is too big."

"Absolutely impossible to get in."

"I'm afraid... a little good and a lot of bad."

My heart sinks little by little. Could it be that after being reborn in another life... I still missed a step, causing everything to go completely out of control? Right when we were almost desperate. A midwife covered in blood was carried out the side door. She was barely alive. As soon as she saw Luc Minh Hien, she used her last strength and pointed towards the backyard.

"Grandpa... the mountain behind... the tunnel..."

Before she could finish her sentence, her head turned to one side. Luc Minh Hien's whole body shook. Tham Tri Hanh and I looked at each other, both clearly seeing the fear in the other's eyes. Behind the mountain of the Luc family there is a tunnel! Jiang Ning Shuang is not in a sea of fire! She ran away!

"Chase!"

Tham Tri Hanh immediately decided, ordered 20 elite guards, and rushed straight behind the mountain. Luc Minh Hien also reacted in time, leading his family to chase frantically behind. I gritted my teeth, picked up my skirt, and ran after them. I must see with my own eyes... Who exactly is... Silently stirring up everything behind the scenes! The road up the mountain is bumpy and difficult to walk. The night was dense, only the flickering torchlight dancing among the trees. The Tham palace guards were all well-trained, and quickly found a cave entrance hidden by a grass mat behind a dense bush. The mouth of the cave is not large, only enough for a person to bend over and pass through. From the cave came the smell of wet earth and a bit of the fishy smell of blood.

"They just left not long ago!"

Tham Tri Hanh looked at the footprints on the ground and then commanded in a low voice.

"Leave 10 people guarding outside, the rest follow me in!"

Luc Minh Hien also led people to run over. Just saw it At the entrance of the tunnel, without saying a word, he was about to enter, but was stopped by Tham Tri Hanh's hand.

"Luc Thi Lang, the situation inside is still unclear. You will only get entangled in your feet and hands."

Luc Minh Hien was so angry that his face turned purple, but he knew Tham Tri Hanh was right. He could only impatiently pace back and forth in front of the cave entrance. I stood not far from him, coldly looking at everything. The tunnel is both dark and narrow. After walking about an incense stick, the front suddenly widened. It is a natural limestone cave. In the middle of the cave are several burning torches. Giang Ngung Suong lay on a grass mat on the ground, her face was as white as paper, and her lower body was covered in blood. Next to her, a newly born baby was wrapped in a torn piece of cloth, even the cry was so weak that it was almost inaudible. A midwife was frantically cleaning the child's body. And standing in front of them... was a man wearing night clothes. He turned his back to us, his body was tall. It seemed like he didn't expect anyone to chase him. Hearing the movement, he immediately turned around. The moment I saw that face clearly...
