A whirlwind marriage: The real heiress marries a warlord.

Luo Tang's husband, Master Qin, had just climbed out of the coffee shop across the street.

He felt as if he were inside a giant bubble, with the surrounding firelight and sounds far away, as if he were in a dream.

Luo Tang was taken care of by her eldest sister-in-law when she was very young. "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother," and she had a very good relationship with her sister-in-law's family.

Her marriage to Second Master Qin was arranged. For the first year or two, their relationship was quite bland. At that time, Second Master Qin was still a playboy. He played around with socialites outside and had a considerate "concubine" at home.

It was only after that that it gradually improved.

Luo Tang has a lively and cheerful personality. Every time Commander Qin wanted to beat his younger brother, it was Luo Tang who stopped him.

Qin Erye was determined to live a good life with her, and it wasn't a big deal: that winter the temperature suddenly dropped, he couldn't adapt, caught a cold, and had a fever.

He longed for a sip of sweet, cool orange juice to quench his thirst. But the doctor disagreed, and his elderly caregiver also prevented him from drinking it.

Luo Tang came to find him in the middle of the night and brought him a glass of iced orange juice.

He finished drinking and felt much better; his cold hadn't gotten worse; the servants wouldn't let Luo Tang stay with him, fearing she might also catch a cold, so she secretly squeezed in with him in the middle of the night.

At that time, Master Qin thought she was very interesting. After getting tired of playing outside, he wanted to spend some boring and mundane days with her.

In the past two years, they have come to understand and connect with each other more and more, and their relationship has become very close.

Their life together wasn't as boring as Qin Erye had imagined. On the contrary, it was peaceful, leisurely, and comfortable.

Other couples had feelings for each other when they were newly married, but they developed feelings for each other several years later.

When Madam Luo passed away, Luo Tang had been ill for several months.

She seemed to have lost all her energy. She was such a lively, lovely, and interesting person, but suddenly she became blank and listless.

Second Master Qin stayed by her side. He wanted to save her.

He wanted to take her away from Guangzhou and settle abroad. He even sketched out a blueprint for her, complete with an estate, swings, gardens, and all sorts of animals.

They're bothering me because I don't have kids yet.

They both disliked children because they were both born into large families and had grown up feeling disappointed with family relationships.

Luo Tang is gradually recovering.

She said she wanted to go back to her hometown, Nancheng, and Second Master Qin accompanied her.

They had barely settled in when Luo Qisheng told them, "My mansion has a secret underground room that connects to the coffee shop in the front and back. The owner of that coffee shop is definitely up to something."

Luo Tang told him to keep quiet.

When asked, the coffee shop owner was quite aggrieved. He said he bought the shop half a year ago and had no idea what the secret passage was for.

Such a secret passage cannot be repaired in six months.

But he was very cautious.

"Don't tell anyone," the coffee shop owner said. "Whatever kind of shady business this secret passage was involved in before, we'll just pretend we don't know anything."

The police are good at extorting money. There's a secret room just across the street between the two places; the police can easily pin a charge on you, and you won't be able to explain yourself.

He described how terrible the police department was.

Those things were all done by Liu Jinyao before; the police department is more regulated now, but to businessmen, they are more greedy and ruthless than thugs.

He didn't say anything, and neither did Luo Qisheng, so outsiders might not know.

Luo Tang laughed and said, "Since we can dig a secret passage, let's do one with Qi Sheng's side too."

The two mansions are very close, making it relatively inexpensive and easy to dig a secret passage.

Master Qin advised her not to do that.

He added, "This is Mrs. Cheng's residence. With a secret passage, how will she explain it to her husband in the future?"

"So you're keeping it a secret. If you tell anyone, you'll be bringing trouble upon Qin Yan," Luo Tang said with a smile.

Second Master Qin was very indulgent towards her.

He hoped she would really recover; he also thought that Qin Yan had said before that the house was bought by chance, that she had never lived in it, and that it had nothing to do with her, so she agreed to let them make changes as they pleased.

Then... he can explain to Young Marshal Cheng later that Qin Yan did not have any lingering ties with Luo Qisheng.

Let Luo Tang act crazy, it'll help her feel better.

When Qin Yan's men kidnapped Cheng Tianyu, the third young master of the Cheng family, and handed him over to Luo Tang, Luo Tang locked him in an upstairs room, fed him drugs, and made him weak and powerless.

Cheng Tianyu was in a deep sleep, so he was easy to handle.

Master Qin was startled again: "You kidnapped the Cheng family, we can't leave, Governor Cheng will chop us up."

Luo Tang then said, "Qin Yan and Cheng Tianxun tied it up. They had nowhere else to put it, so they put it here."

Master Qin knew something was wrong.

How could Cheng Tianxun not have a place to hide people? Besides, why would he kidnap his own brother? He has no legitimate reason to do it and is only asking for trouble.

Master Qin wanted to say something more, like he wanted to ask Cheng Tianxun, or even go directly to the Governor's Mansion, when he felt a chill run down his spine.

Luo Tang gave him an injection.

"Take a nap." Luo Tang gently kissed his forehead. "Don't be afraid, you won't die, but you can't cause me any trouble."

Master Qin tried desperately to hold onto her hand, but soon he was plunged into darkness.

When he woke up, he was in the secret passage, tightly bound, and his mouth was gagged so he couldn't make a sound.

The secret passage was stuffy and hot. After some time, footsteps could be heard.

There was also the sound of arguing.

"That woman will kill my aunt!" It was Luo Qisheng.

The ones holding him back and not letting him turn around were Qin Yao and Ling Manjun.

Ling Manyun said, "Let's go outside first so we can find help. The area outside is full of Second Madam's people. Let's go find Qin Yan."

He added, "I must stop Qin Yan. Second Aunt definitely wants Qin Yan to come. Your aunt wants to die with them, and she might even want to kill Qin Yan too."

Luo Qisheng loudly retorted, "You're talking nonsense. My aunt doesn't blame Qin Yan at all."

"But she wanted to use everything she could to kill the second concubine. She lied to us before. If I hadn't been in that little mansion, the second concubine might not have come in. I was also a very important hostage," Ling Manyun said.

Luo Qisheng: "Didn't you escape?"

Ling Manyun's words came to an abrupt end.

Only then did they see Master Qin.

Qin Yao and Luo Qisheng, disregarding their argument, hurriedly untied him.

Master Qin said, "Cheng Tianyu is upstairs, upstairs from us."

The group exchanged glances, all agreeing that today was a "mutual destruction" situation. With Cheng Tianyu present, Luo Tang's plan was working perfectly; as long as Qin Yan arrived, she would be buried with the second concubine, Cheng Tianyu, and Luo Tang.

Regardless of the past, anyone suspected of causing Madam Luo's death should be dealt with in the same way.

Just now, Luo Tang suddenly made a move. Her fight with the second concubine allowed Ling Manyun and the others to step on the hidden door of the small mansion restaurant and fall down smoothly.

The three of them were completely disoriented from the fall.

Once the secret door was opened, it would lock again. It couldn't be opened easily, but guns and cannons could blow it open, so the three of them ran while arguing.

First, run from Luo Tang's side to Luo Qisheng's side, then run from Luo Qisheng's side through the secret passage to the coffee shop's secret passage.

Because Luo Qisheng's house also had Second Concubine's men lying in ambush, going out would be like walking into a trap. They had to take another route.

The second concubine didn't know this road. She probably still thought Luo Tang was making a fuss and wasn't too concerned about catching them.

Several people ran desperately toward the end of the secret passage.

The door to the coffee shop was locked even more tightly from the inside, and Qin Yao, Second Master Qin, and Luo Qisheng struggled to pry it open. They had just stepped out of the coffee shop when they heard the explosion.

Master Qin didn't need to search; he knew where his wife was.

He looked at the small mansion at No. 4 Hongxia Road, which was filled with thick smoke and flames, and vaguely saw Luo Tang's figure. Just half a day ago, she was sitting in the restaurant chatting and laughing.

Isn't she afraid, being all alone there?

The fire was burning her; did she feel pain?

On her journey to the underworld, will she feel lonely? If she is reincarnated, will she still remember the new life they envisioned together?

Thinking of this, Master Qin started walking.

"Second Uncle!"

The fire reached his eyelashes, and he seemed to see Luo Tang; nothing could stop him.
