Chapter 21 Jin Yi Self-immolation
Before Lin Zhilan came back to her senses, Liu Qing, who was waiting on the sidelines, shouted loudly, "Miss is not good!"

Lin Zhilan was astonished, her fingers stopped suddenly, the smooth sound of the piano stopped abruptly, a burning smell came from behind her, she turned her head suddenly, "Ah!" Ling Zhilan's face paled in shock, for some reason Suddenly, a wisp of blue smoke came out from the hem of the brocade clothes hanging on the ground behind him, and a small cluster of yellow flames jumped up, with the momentum of burning upwards.

"My God, come quickly! Mother, save me." Lin Zhilan didn't care about being surprised, she jumped up from the moon stool, and pushed the phoenix in front of her to the ground with her backhand. The red lacquered and gold-painted phoenix fell to the ground After several strings were cut off, the fire on the long hem of the brocade clothes became more and more intense, and it was about to burn to the body and scorch the skin.Lin Zhilan was completely confused, she kept spinning around in place trying to put out the fire, but she couldn't put out the fire which was getting stronger and stronger.

The personal servants Liu Qing and Yinxiu were eager to protect their lord, and rushed forward to help them fight, but under the strong light, no matter how they fought, the fire did not show any signs of weakening. .

Suxian had already stopped dancing, and looked coldly at the three masters and servants who were in a hurry, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, if she hadn't discovered it in time yesterday, the person who humiliated her would not be Lin Zhilan, but herself.

When the clothes were brought back from the weaving room yesterday, Suxian felt that something was wrong, the faint sour smell like garlic, although it was similar to the smell of sweat, it was definitely not caused by sweat stains.If the judgment is correct, the silk thread used to make the clothes must have been soaked in a liquid diluted with white phosphorus, and the silk thread was sewn into the clothes room, and the white phosphorus juice was also soaked into the clothes.The ignition point of white phosphorus is extremely low, which coincides with the hot season these days. If this clothing is exposed to strong sunlight for a long time, it will definitely cause spontaneous combustion.

For this plan, Suxian is convinced from the bottom of her heart, she can come up with such a trick, and knows how to use white phosphorus to cause spontaneous combustion to harm people, she is indeed a bit smart, but it's a pity that these methods are useless in the right way.

"Hurry up to get water, how can such a beating be of any use!" Suxian shouted anxiously, she wanted to punish her in a small way, but she didn't want to cause a major incident, not to mention that her father was present, so it would be a bad idea to startle her sick father.

Reminded by Suxian, the stunned boy came back to his senses, and ran to the lake not far ahead, picked up the wooden bucket that was used daily by the lake, filled it with half a bucket of water, and ran quickly Back, splashing it on Lin Zhilan's head, the burning fire was finally extinguished, and at the same time, Lin Zhilan was in a mess, the eye-catching hairpins in her hair were messy, and the skirt of the splendid dress, After being burned by the fire, it has long been incomplete and dilapidated. Now it is full of water stains, and it is more like a drowned rat, which still has half a sense of beauty.

The fire subsided, Lin Zhilan stopped beating, but stood on the spot in a daze. At this moment, her mind was full of doubts, and she couldn't figure it out. How could the scene that should have happened to Lin Suxian happen to her? Appear.Now in front of a full house of guests, his clothes are disheveled and his body is covered with water stains, how can he face others in the future.

At the scene before her, the madam was dumbfounded, it took her a while to recover, she strode forward, and hugged the stunned Lin Zhilan into her arms, "My son, I was frightened!" , What's going on, what's going on? How could such a nice dress ignite by itself!" As she spoke, looking at Lin Zhilan who was trembling in her arms, the Da Furen was heartbroken and shouted to the servants anxiously. Said, "Hurry up and help the eldest lady go back to rest, my wife will definitely investigate today's matter thoroughly!"

When such a thing happened to the hostess, the guests present were inevitably embarrassed, and their clothes became more popular for no reason, which made people feel ominous.

Although Father Lin, who was leaning on the shoulder chariot, did not speak, his expression darkened a lot. Could it be that the heavens are foretelling something?
The atmosphere of joy just now dropped suddenly. Although the sun was still shining brightly, the scene suddenly cooled down. People whispered, as if they were talking about something, but no one spoke loudly.

At this time, Suxian stepped forward with a smile on her face, bowed down to Father Lin, and Ying said, "Congratulations to father, congratulations to father, this is a good omen!"

Father Lin coughed lightly, took a deep breath, and with a hoarse voice, finally said the first sentence after showing up, "How do you say this, how can you be lucky?"

Seeing Lin Suxian speak, the eldest lady's expression darkened immediately, she stepped forward and shouted in a low voice, "Lin Suxian, master's birthday is today, please speak carefully, if your words are meaningless, I will not spare you!"

Suxian smiled faintly, nodded respectfully to the eldest lady, and said in a low voice, "Mother, don't worry, Qian'er is spared."

After finishing speaking, Suxian got up slowly and said to the guests, "Since ancient times, there has been a saying that 'the phoenix is ​​bathed in fire and reborn from nirvana'. The phoenix is ​​an ancient divine beast. Rebirth. And there is a saying in Buddhism. When the deadline comes, the phoenix gathers sycamore branches and burns itself, and is reborn in the fire. Its feathers are more abundant, its voice is clearer, and its spirit is more marrow. Today is my father’s birthday. The girl was dressed in a phoenix-like brocade robe, holding a phoenix-tailed guqin in her hand, and was burned by a fire from heaven. Although the elder sister was a little frightened, there was nothing in it that foreshadowed that my father, who had been ill for a long time, would definitely die. Like a phoenix on fire, reborn from Nirvana, if not as good as Tailai, he will finally recover."

Saying that, Suxian turned around and gave a deep blessing to Father Lin, whose face had already eased a lot, and continued in a loud voice, "Therefore, this is auspicious fire from heaven, and it is a sign of great auspiciousness. My daughter hereby wishes my father a speedy recovery, Enjoy your health!"

"Okay, well said!" An unprovoked accident, being said by Suxian, turned into an extremely auspicious omen, and the guests present all joined in and congratulated Father Lin frequently.

Father Lin looked dotingly at Suxian, who was smart and smart, and said softly, "Xian'er is smart, I'll pass on your good words for my father." Then, he turned his head and said to Lin Zhilan, who was dejected and sullen, "But it's true. Frightened Lan'er, I turned around and bought you a new outfit for my father, to comfort Lan'er's shock."

Father Lin was frightened by the fire at first, but now his mood improved, but he said a lot in one breath, his body became weaker, and he raised his hand weakly to rub his forehead lightly, his face was full of exhaustion.Seeing this, the eldest lady immediately ordered someone to send Father Lin back to the east courtyard to rest.

Lin Zhilan, who has always been proud, lost her face in front of the people. Although she was praised for her phoenix nirvana, it was an indisputable fact that she was disgraceful in front of the guests, and among those present was the son of Marquis Annan.Thinking of the ugly appearance of her skirt on fire and flailing hands and feet just now, Lin Zhilan was even more ashamed and indignant.He was speechless, and raised his foot to go back to Bichunxuan.Seeing this, Lin Yinglu immediately followed her, supported Lin Zhilan in a fawning manner, and said, "Elder sister, be careful. From my younger sister's point of view, Lin Suqian, that bitch, is clearly trying to make fun of you, Eldest Sister, for the sake of showing off. I've made it clear about your clothes." When it was on fire, she deliberately said that the phoenix was on fire, obviously to make fun of you, eldest sister, or to prove that she is eloquent."

The sisters left the courtyard and just turned the corner. Before Lin Yinglu could finish speaking, Lin Zhilan couldn't hold back anymore. She turned around and slapped Lin Yinglu, who was stalking her, and shouted sharply, "Get lost, who is doing today's matter?" Make fun of me, I think you know best!"

Lin Yinglu covered her cheeks in surprise, stepped back a few steps and said in a daze, "Sister, sister doesn't understand what you mean."

"I don't understand, how could you not understand!" Lin Zhilan pointed at Lin Yinglu angrily and shouted, "Let me ask you, is this dress really yours? Tell me!"

"I. I." Lin Yinglu bowed her head a little guilty, her lips pursed, not knowing how to respond.

In fact, yesterday Lin Yinglu happily snatched Suxian's scented clothes, and was about to return to Luoye Residence, but unexpectedly met her eldest sister Lin Zhilan.Lin Yinglu was looking for a way to please Lin Zhilan because of the opal incident, seeing that Lin Zhilan was very interested in this dress, she immediately offered to exchange it with her.As for her also forcibly changing into Suxian's clothes, she naturally didn't mention a word, only said that it was the scent she smoked.Lin Zhilan didn't have any doubts, so this piece of clothing that Lin Zhilan secretly tampered with fell into Ling Zhilan's hands by accident.

"Say! What are you doing? Am I asking you something?" Lin Zhilan asked sharply.

"That's right, yes. It belongs to my younger sister." Lin Yinglu was stubborn, and at this point, she hadn't figured out what was going on, so she forced herself to speak.

"Still lying, if it was yours, how could this dress catch fire!" Facing Lin Yinglu, who was as stupid as a pig, Lin Zhilan was so depressed that she almost gasped.

"No. It's not that the gods descended from the sky. Eldest sister, you are the eldest daughter of your father, so this auspicious omen should naturally be on you." Lin Yinglu murmured in a guilty voice.

"Bah! Just now you were talking about Lin Suxian's nonsense, but now you have followed suit. Her nonsense can coax others, but it can't coax me. The clothes spontaneously ignited, obviously stained." Speaking of this, Liu Qing coughed softly at the side, Lin Zhilan immediately realized that she had made a slip of the tongue, and immediately fell silent, then she stared angrily at Lin Yinglu and shouted, "Stupid pig, it's all because of you!"

No matter how stupid Lin Yinglu was, she understood now, "Oh, elder sister, younger sister understands, it turns out that clothes." As she spoke, Lin Yinglu looked behind her vigilantly, and only after she made sure that there was no one around, she blamed herself very much. She said, "Eldest sister, I only blame my sister for being ignorant and being framed by that bitch Lin Suqian. Elder sister, don't resent your younger sister. If you want to blame it, blame that bitch for treachery."

Lin Zhilan stroked her forehead speechlessly, and murmured, "If that's the case, Lin Suxian, you bastard, I swear against you!" After she finished speaking, she ignored Lin Yinglu who was constantly flattering her, and strode forward. Go back to Bichunxuan.

"Eldest sister, listen to what my younger sister said. Elder sister, you." Lin Yinglu didn't give up, and hurriedly followed behind.

"Get out! Don't follow me."

Ling Zhilan's voice came faintly, and the voice gradually disappeared at the end of the stone path.

Vanilla hidden behind the branches watched their backs disappear without a trace, and appeared, with a satisfied smile on the corners of her lips, and sighed in a low voice, "My lady is really good at predicting things, and now I will let you taste your own The taste of eating bitter fruit, hehe!"
