After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 134 Not a single member of the Jiang family will be spared.

At that moment, Jixiang also rushed into the house, but seeing Xiaoliu's anxious expression, she knew that they already knew what had happened.

Xie Jinglan was weak and powerless after taking the medicine. Jixiang quickly stepped forward to help him up, and then whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, the Prince of Ning's men have indeed begun to take action."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinglan's expression changed slightly, but Jixiang indicated that everything was already arranged. Yueying Fengling had long been prepared, and if anything unexpected happened, the guards would definitely protect them.

"Xiao Liu, quickly go and call Jasmine and Butler Xiang together."

Jiang Yuyue said in a deep voice, "Have them come to that abandoned courtyard in the northwest corner immediately to meet me!"

An abandoned courtyard in the northwest corner?

Xiao Liu was slightly taken aback. She only knew that the courtyard had been abandoned for many years due to lack of residents. In addition, it was located in a remote area, so Master Jiang did not send anyone to repair it. Over time, it became an abandoned courtyard. She wondered why Miss wanted them to go to that place at this time.

Although she was puzzled, Xiao Liu still obeyed Jiang Yuyue's orders. Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the courtyard where Xie Jinglan lived was very close to the servants' quarters. After walking a few steps, Xiao Liu immediately found Steward Xiang and Xiao Liu.

Jiang Yuyue and Jixiang immediately helped Xie Jinglan walk towards the courtyard she had mentioned. Seeing that Jiang Yuyue was not as panicked as expected, Jixiang couldn't help but ask her a question.

"Miss Jiang, where are we trying to escape to now?"

"Just follow me."

Jiang Yuyue didn't intend to explain too much, and just hurried on her way. When the three of them arrived at the abandoned courtyard, Jiang Yuyue pushed open the dusty cabinet inside the room, and a secret passage appeared before their eyes.

At this moment, Xiao Liu, along with Butler Xiang and Jasmine, also rushed over. Even Butler Xiang was dumbfounded when he saw the secret passage.

He was an old man who had been with the Jiang family for decades. He had lived in this house with Master Jiang, but even he had never known that there was a secret passage here!

"Get in quickly!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuyue didn't have time to explain much. She hurriedly called the group to go inside. Everyone realized what was happening and immediately entered the secret passage. Jiang Yuyue was at the very back and pushed the cabinet back into place to block the mystery of the place.

"How did you know there was a secret passage here, Miss?"

The butler was somewhat surprised. "Where does this secret passage lead?"

"safe place."

Jiang Yuyue didn't intend to explain anything. Only the Jiang family couple and she knew about this secret passage. Even Ahuan didn't know that there was such a place in the house. Moreover, the craftsmen who participated in the construction of the Jiang residence had long since disappeared. Therefore, she used this secret passage as an escape route.

After saying this, Jiang Yuyue immediately took out a bunch of incense from the box on the ground, skillfully lit it with a tinderbox, and stuck it in the ground. Then she picked up a medicine bottle and handed one pill to each person.

"The incense I just lit was poisonous. Once lit, it will linger for a long time. An ordinary person would die from the poison within fifteen minutes of smelling it. You should take the antidote first, and then we can continue our escape."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, but they did not question what Jiang Yuyue said. They immediately swallowed the pills in their hands and continued to walk quickly towards the secret passage.

Xie Jinglan watched Jiang Yuyue's actions silently, a hint of appreciation appearing in his eyes.

Even though Xie Jinglan had guessed that she would be prepared, he did not expect her to be so meticulous. In addition to this secret passage, she also left a backup plan. Even if someone discovers this place and comes to chase after them, they will definitely not be able to get out alive.

After doing all this, Jiang Yuyue led everyone forward. The secret passage was extremely long, and they didn't know how long they walked before they finally saw the exit.

The secret passage ended at a small courtyard on the outskirts of Jinling City. The place was sparsely populated, so even if they suddenly moved in, it wouldn't attract attention. After everyone came out of the secret passage, Xie Jinglan immediately noticed how clean the courtyard was.

It was clear that it had been cleaned just a few days ago. Xie Jinglan's eyes flickered slightly; it seemed that she had indeed been prepared.

"Let's stay here for now."

Jiang Yuyue helped Xie Jinglan sit down. Although they had escaped successfully as expected, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy thinking that this day had finally come.

"Miss, who exactly is it that broke into our Jiang family tonight?"

Everyone, including the housekeeper, was full of questions, but seeing their young lady's calm demeanor, they guessed that it might be related to the plans she had started some time ago.

"Let's rest first."

To be honest, Jiang Yuyue couldn't be sure who had attacked the Jiang family, so she couldn't say for sure. "Since these people are so ruthless, they must be trying to wipe out the entire Jiang family. I'll have to trouble you to make a trip tomorrow to see what the situation is."

"Yes."

The housekeeper immediately responded, and then Jiang Yuyue looked at everyone and said, "It's getting late, everyone should rest."

Jasmine and Xiaoliu were still shaken, but not knowing the current situation, they could only go down to rest as Jiang Yuyue had suggested.

Xie Jinglan and she tacitly agreed not to ask about it. After making the bed, Jixiang left, and the two lay on the bed, listening to each other's not-so-peaceful breathing, and slowly fell asleep.

The men sent by Prince Ning acted swiftly, and none of the Jiang family members left behind escaped.

The fire burned all night, and it wasn't until the early morning of the next day that it gradually subsided.

Following Jiang Yuyue's instructions, Butler Xiang rushed back to the Jiang family early in the morning. Although he had expected it, it would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken when he saw the once grand Jiang residence burned to the ground.

"Master! Madam! Miss!"

As soon as the steward reached the door, he knelt down and cried out, "This old servant just went out to buy supplies yesterday, how could such a terrible thing have happened!"

The bodies in the fire were carried out by the steward's men. The fire was so intense yesterday that the bodies were burned beyond recognition, making it impossible to identify who was who.

Seeing this scene, the butler secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Since those villains were after the Jiang family, as long as they believed that the entire Jiang family had been wiped out, they could get away with it!

"Master! How could you leave me all alone?! What am I going to do?!"

The butler casually threw himself onto a corpse and continued to wail, "Who is it! Who has such a deep hatred for our Jiang family that they wouldn't even spare a single member of our family!"

Seeing the once wealthy Jiang family fall to such a state overnight, many onlookers sighed in dismay, while others gloated.
