"Hua we need to get out of here" Tan jiki said in cold tone. She know a minutes will pass, this house will burn in ashes. Looking to her Mistress eyes she see the young woman with devouring aura yet still calm and deepness.
"Yes Mistress!" Jun Hua hurriedly took their packs and help her wounded Mistress to get out from the room. She know her Mistress already know that the Second lady and the younger mistress the master mind of every accident. Tan Jiki quietly stand up and walk as her maid held her.
"Hua we need to head in my library their is secret passage there and cover your nose." Jun Hua remember the library closed for a long time because her mistress hates that large book to read. Tan Jiki mother is a book lover that almost of the book is in her library while her daughter is a hater. When her daughter turn to three years old she built a huge library in her courtyard for her beloved daughter.
Jun Hua knows that her Mistress only knows the secret of the house, though she struggling to assist her Mistress to lead in library while the raging fire hungrily eating the half of the courtyard. Her courtyard is made by light materials that can trigger to the peckish flame to burn into an ashes.
As the two women passing the passage, when it almost they can get out, the fire also raging in rooftop as well as side to side of the courtyard walls, due of Tan Jiki senses she notice the huge chaff falling down to their way so she hurriedly push her maid to exit. Tan Jiki already calculated the situation, if she didn't shove her maid, the two of them will stuck in here and burn alive.. She can't walk properly and her body still weak, surely she can't bare to escape in seconds. Again she need to think a plan to escape.
"Mistress?! Are you alright?!" Her maid cried outside as the huge flaming wall cover the exit. Jun Hua wanted to throw herself in fire to help her mistress to get out.
"Mmm..tsk stupid! If you will not get your feet out of here I will burn you to ashes!" She warned her to run away...but Jun Hua didn't move when she heard it...She is shocked and scared for her Mistress as her body soaked in sweat. She know her mistress is rude and insensitive that sometimes she hurt her physically but she still hoping that someday her mistress will show care for her and she glad it today. But how she can smile if her mistress will die soon?
"B-But Mistress?! Y-You will die here if you can't get out!" Outside, she cried as top of her lungs..her heart beating faster as she saw the flame covering the courtyard.
"Mmm..go and tell grandfather that I send you to him. Tell him what happen here and don't make him to make a move."
She said in normal voice and turn her back. The more words from her mistress says, the more it chilling that almost her hairs stand up. Tan Jiki wanted to get her revenge in right time when she come back alive. Mmm the sweetest fruit harvested in its peak.
"Y-Yes Mistress!" Jun Hua cried again as she heard her footsteps getting farther and farther. She know Jun Hua will obey her.
Meanwhile, the shadow took stare the flaming courtyard and drew evil smirk. Ten minutes of watching she head back to the West wing in second lady courtyard to report in her. The mother and daughter silently enjoy their victory. Right now they know Tan Jiki is dead when the sun rise in East.
"Mother, tomorrow everyone will shows their sympathy to us while we pretend to mourn in her death. We let them expect that fire is an accident." The young miss cheerfully said and look her mother affectionately.
"Yes my daughter, and guess what's more?" Mo Xei Fie viciously smiling.
"Of course, a death gift from the Imperial family down to lowest official of this Green Hornet City" she elegantly smile and her eyes full of unexplained joyous. She hates Tan Jiki because of of her famous ancestors, her angel appearance, her fair skin, and favored by the Ruler. The Ruler is the students of her grandfather when his young age.
"Chang Yui... tomorrow early in the morning,tell the Chief that when you deliver the stock to the elder mistress you saw her courtyard turn to ashes." Mo Xie Fei said while dreamily stoke the black hair of her daughter.
Tan Jiki courtyard:
"Screw you!..It's time to get my butt alive here."
She walk faster to her room and toilet, ignoring the roaring pain in her body. The heat almost eating her fair skin, her two ribs broke from the accident falling in cliff plus her left leg getting numbing that when in touch to the floor it make her gasping for an air, additionally the poison make her weak to move.
Tan Jiki took the heavy bedsheets and soak it in water and cover her body to pass in flaming window. Best in her luck, the heaven heard her call, heavy rains pouring the ground as night turned to cold and emptiness.
"I'll make all you pay.." She mumble and bite her lips not to groaned from agony and pain. She remembered from this body memories, in her backyard of the Tan palace there is a country side river that reaches to the mountain of Black Jungle Forest not far from her place. Maybe she can pass there to avoid the palace guards roaming around. She is an assassin before, every risk she climb in order to survive. As orphan her whole life is to live and survive. Even death can't provoke her will.
Tan Jiki almost crawling when she reach the river side...she skillfully observe her surrounding and took the coconut fruit to make life savings tool and drew herself in water. As water touch her body she instantly pass out.
