After the divorce, I was adorned in a phoenix robe, while my ex-husband's entire family dug up

"Nonsense! Hurry up and get ready. We'll be setting off as soon as it gets dark," Wei Zhaoning said.

Dongxu scratched his head.

Upon hearing that the mountain would be closed tomorrow, the students on Meishan Mountain, who had originally planned to gather together tonight, immediately ran back to their lodgings to pack their things and descended the mountain with their belongings in less than half an hour.

Wei Zhaoning had a headcount taken to ensure everyone had descended the mountain before he was willing to set off.

Xiao Rongwang looked at Wei Zhaoning suspiciously, thinking that she was really addicted to acting. Anyway, it was all fake, so what difference did it make if there were one more or one less? She was just putting on an act!

Wei Zhaoning looked back with neither arrogance nor servility, while the young Prince Rong rolled his eyes and returned to his carriage.

The group arrived in the capital smoothly in the middle of the night, but as soon as they reached the city gate, they encountered many carriages.

The people inside the carriage saw them and hurriedly got off.

"How are you? Are you alright? How did you suddenly start burning up? What happened?!"

The people who got off the carriages were all family members of the students. They saw the flames shooting into the sky from the capital and decided to go out of the city to rescue people without thinking.

The students were confused by these words, but when they looked up, they understood immediately: flames were shooting into the sky over Meishan!

People gasped in disbelief, their expressions filled with disbelief.

"Fortunately, the heavy snow blocked the mountain pass, and the Princess Consort came to fetch His Highness Prince Rong, and also took us all down the mountain, otherwise..."

Everyone survived the ordeal.

"Is the mountain closed?" Those people hesitated for a moment and then stopped worrying about it. The most important thing now was that their family members were not injured on Meishan Mountain and had all returned safely before the New Year.

People came over to thank Wei Zhaoning one by one. Wei Zhaoning said, "It was a close call. Let's go back to the manor first."

The crowd dispersed, and Wei Zhaoning took the young Prince Rong back to the palace.

Prince Rong remained silent the entire way, occasionally glancing suspiciously at Wei Zhaoning.

Wei Zhaoning was filled with the thought that he had saved people again, and that his rebirth had not been in vain. He was overjoyed to see these vibrant lives able to return for the New Year.

It's a pity that the exquisite plum blossoms on Meishan Mountain are such rare plants that they can't be cultivated no matter how hard you try.

The carriage arrived at the Prince's Mansion quickly.

Wei Zhaoning said to Prince Rong, "Fortunately, we escaped unharmed tonight. We should thank the mountain for being closed tomorrow. You must have been frightened. Go back and take a good bath and rest."

After saying that, he considered it goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Stop right there!"

Xiao Rongwang suddenly shouted, his brows furrowed.

"You knew there would be a fire there, didn't you?"

Wei Zhaoning wouldn't admit it; she couldn't explain how she knew, so she just smiled frankly, "It was just an accident, how would I know?"

Xiao Rongwang didn't believe him and continued to press: "It's the dead of winter now, and there's snow everywhere. How could a fire start if there's no kerosene? Someone did this on purpose to harm Meishan."

"There wasn't any heavy snow blocking the roads at all, right? That's your excuse for lying to us that you'd leave tonight."

Wei Zhaoning was momentarily at a loss for words. The young Prince Rong was very clever; he had seen through her less-than-meticulous plan. Her face stiffened for a moment as she tried to figure out how to smooth things over.

When Xiao Rongwang saw Wei Zhaoning's expression, he immediately understood.

He guessed right.

Wei Zhaoning has come today to save him and the people of Meishan.

He suddenly felt unsteady on his feet, cold sweat broke out, and he looked up at the direction of Meishan in the distance. A fire dragon had engulfed the entire mountain, thick smoke billowed, and flames soared into the sky.

He dared not imagine what would have happened if they hadn't followed Wei Zhaoning today.

Meishan is covered with trees, has a complex terrain, and is protected by oil. If they are still there tonight, no one will be able to escape.

Then he, his classmates, and his teachers will all be burned to ashes!

Overnight, Meishan will be burned to ashes!!!

Just thinking about it made his whole body go numb.

Wei Zhaoning came here today to save him, to save Meishan, but he misunderstood Wei Zhaoning.

Wei Zhaoning noticed that his expression was off and decided to make an excuse to leave.

She didn't want anything in return, especially after witnessing how the Lu family had repaid her kindness with enmity in her previous life. She had learned from that experience and didn't think it would be a good thing to be discovered while saving someone.

"It was just an accident. Everyone's fine now, isn't they? I'm too tired today, so I'll head back now."

Wei Zhaoning fled towards the sleeping quarters.

Xiao Rongwang watched her retreating figure, clenching his fists.

"Sister-in-law!"

Wei Zhaoning's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly stopped, asking incredulously, "You... what did you call me?"

Xiao Rongwang exclaimed excitedly, "Why won't you admit you saved people? Is it so hard to just say you saved us?"

Then, he lowered his head in shame and said, "Thank you."

"Thank you for saving us. If you hadn't come today, we would all be separated from our families by death. I misunderstood you; I was being petty and judging you by my own standards."

Wei Zhaoning's legs went weak, and she could barely walk. In both her past and present lives, she had never heard a single word of thanks.

Hearing it now, the feeling is surprisingly subtle.

Prince Rong stepped forward. "You are a good person. I think I had many misunderstandings about you before. I know why my brother likes you now. I apologize for my previous arbitrary and prejudiced actions. I'm sorry, sister-in-law, can you forgive me?"

At this moment, Wei Zhaoning was already a great hero in his eyes, who had saved them all. Compared to the generals on the battlefield, she was no less of a heroine.

His admiration for Wei Zhaoning was almost overflowing; even if she wasn't his sister-in-law, he was already planning to become sworn sisters with her.

It's just admitting she's his sister-in-law, what's so difficult about that? He still thinks that his elder brother got a good deal by marrying Wei Zhaoning.

Wei Zhaoning was bewildered by this string of words and even felt a little embarrassed.

"I don't blame you. You're just a kid. Why would I hold a grudge against you?"

Prince Rong's eyes immediately lit up. "Sister-in-law, I'm not a child anymore. I'll protect you from now on. If my brother dares to wrong you, I'll stand by your side even if it means breaking ties with him!"

His attitude softened immediately, and his eyes shone brightly, making him look like a puppy. Wei Zhaoning found it rather cute and chuckled.

The feeling was so subtle; she never imagined that someone could see everything she was doing.

From this day forward, Prince Rong has become attached to Wei Zhaoning, coming over every morning to eat breakfast with her and telling her about anything interesting he encounters.

The Seventh Princess was quite angry that the young Prince Rong had betrayed her so quickly.

When this person left, they said they would come back as soon as possible to deal with Wei Zhaoning, but now they call her "sister-in-law" so sweetly.

They're completely unreliable!
